Chapter 271. Blueprint of Aotearoa (1)
Pukwaaang-!
The whole world shook.
A sudden shock.
Which one is up and which one is down.
Is this under water, on land, or in outer space?
It’s so far away that nothing can be distinguished.
In overwhelming shock, confusion and dizziness, Lloyd crouched down.
In the past, I acted like the morning after the film was cut off after drinking heavily for the first time in my life.
“…Oh dear!”
Nausea came up on an empty stomach with nothing to eat.
It was like that too.
‘I almost fainted.’
A slight concussion and dizzying nausea.
Barely suppressing it, Lloyd raised his head.
A huge silhouette was right in front of me.
No, rather than a silhouette, there was a mountain in front.
A heavy creature wrapped in thick mantle hide instead of hard bedrock and rocky soil.
It was a size that could have been several kilometers in circumference of the torso alone.
It’s just a back that’s equivalent to Mount Everest.
Such a gigantic octopus, the Kraken, was convulsing right in front of its nose.
And just like this side did, I was vomiting.
“Krung! Ohh-!”
Seeing that, Lloyd thought.
‘I’m crazy. it’s crazy.’
No matter how urgent the situation was.
Did you try to slap the body of such a ignorant bastard?
Even thinking about it, I thought I was not crazy.
‘Well, it was an attempt because that guy’s coat wasn’t strong enough.’
Lloyd remembered what had happened a while ago.
The hand-picking operation that the mermaid army carried out in perfect order.
It was successful.
It was said that he took off the Kraken’s eight gigantic legs almost at the same time.
Black blood gushed out from the end.
Thanks to that, the Kraken did a deep and cool burp.
‘But that trim was just a little short of 2 percent.’
If the original rapid body is too severe, yes.
In really serious cases, I ate digestive medicine, opened my hands, stood on my hands, got my report card caught by my mom and smashed my back, or I sent the wrong message to my boss at work and did a 360-degree Thomas rotation, but it never went down.
‘The Kraken was just like that a while ago.’
I did pick up my hands and burp, but it felt a bit lacking.
So even though I wanted to go down for a while, it was just like that when I was about to feel uncomfortable again.
As soon as I realized that, I moved.
There was no time to delay.
It gained momentum from the double volcanic eruption of the bell.
There, it rapidly accelerated again with a triple blast.
So I turned on the 3rd booster and rammed the Kraken between the eyes.
In terms of human beings, the part corresponding to the pituitary gland.
In other words, it was as if he hit his stomach hard (?).
Thanks to that, the Kraken slithers.
His whole body was shaking and he was regurgitating everything inside!
‘Whoa. also this one As expected, regurgitation is the ultimate weapon for an acute body that doesn’t go down no matter what you do after picking your hands.’
Forcibly vomit.
Although it may lead to reflux esophagitis.
Although the esophagus and teeth are all damaged due to the reflux of gastric juice.
Although it is a method that is very difficult for the stomach itself.
It was also the last desperate measure to be used inevitably when the body really did not go down.
so I screamed
Of course, he also took care of his own safety.
Before the bold head-butt, the Kraken’s pit was scanned.
How tough is that area?
Isn’t it harder than it looks?
I figured out all of them and turned to the simulation option.
It was only after confirming the simulation results that he would not be seriously injured even if he bumped into it with his whole body, that he boldly attempted a torso slam.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a lot of damage on this side.
‘Ugh. My stomach keeps rumbling.’
Maybe I got a little concussion?
The dizziness and nausea did not subside.
However, the reward that would soon make up for such damage was filled in front of his eyes.
Ding dong!
[You showed great prowess in resolving the Kraken’s indigestion at once through your discerning eye for grasping the whole situation and your ability to make quick decisions and bold execution.
] received and praised.]
[A new tribute has been created for you.]
‘Oh?’
It was a welcome message.
I thought that this case was also solved this way.
Enjoying the reward, Lloyd took note of the new tribute.
[New Tribute < Myeongchi! pit of the stomach! Pyeongchi! > has been created.]
[Peace! pit of the stomach! Pyeongchi!]
[Praise rating: Marine legend]
Mom, I feel uncomfortable.
so? Give your name.
oh why mom?
If you get hit there, you’ll feel comfortable.
I just can’t get comfortable, so I think I’ll sleep comfortably forever.
it’s okay baby Don’t be afraid.
I think it still hurts. scary.
Tsk tsk I want to learn from watching the Kraken.
How was the Kraken?
You’re still living a good life even after you’ve been hit.
That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt when hit.
So will you continue to be uncomfortable inside?
Umm…no.
So just face it.
But I’m scared, Mom!
it’s okay baby What did mom’s hand say?
hey hey….
weak hand! (Boom)
[Praise effect: You showed the dignity of solving the giant kraken’s indigestion in one shot. Kraken, who was the party to the indigestion at the time, as well as tens of thousands of mermaids, witnessed this clearly. Thanks to this, your story of heroism will soon spread to the seas around the world, and the treatment of hitting the stomach will become popular among marine creatures as a remedy for indigestion. Also, through this feat, you have mastered < Underwater Breathing >, a technique that allows you to breathe freely underwater, and < Peace Shot >, a powerful underwater strike that makes any opponent regurgitate everything in one shot.] [Praise Area
: Any environment with a water depth of 50cm or more, such as sea, river, lake, or bathtub]
[Tribute maintenance period: 3000 years]
[The effect of the tribute is applied for 24 hours within the area and period being praised. In addition, depending on your actions in the future, the area and period of praise may be expanded, extended, reduced, or shortened.] [
CP provided by tribute every month: 5]
[Currently held CP: 1312]
‘…nice. Seriously super-kill nice.’
Lloyd clenched his fists.
Again, this compliment was great.
First of all, through the praise, it was confirmed that the Kraken’s rapid body was completely resolved.
In addition, the option obtained thanks to the praise was indeed a jackpot.
‘It’s underwater breathing. Then, without this necklace given by mermaids, you can breathe freely in water that is more than 1 meter deep. Of course, water pressure and temperature are other issues, but at least there is no drowning. There’s a picture of the name…Eh, if I find someone I don’t like, I can use it to empty my stomach.’
Anyway, I got two really useful praise effects.
‘So let’s quickly step back.’
After all, a reward is a reward.
The thought that I could see something bad if I continued to wander here hit my brain.
Because of the Kraken.
‘Anyway, it was right for me. I even threw up.’
If you make a mistake, you may get revenge from the Kraken.
But what if the scale of the revenge is almost at the level of Mount Everest holding a grudge and resolutely attacking?
I honestly couldn’t afford it.
I wondered if even Grand Master Xaviel could stop it.
But that was then.
Ding dong!
I was trying to step back from a distance while watching the Kraken’s eyes, but suddenly a clear and beautiful sound resounded again.
‘hmm?’
At first, I wanted something.
He moved his eyes reflexively.
An unexpected message popped up.
[Opening affinity]
[The Kraken has accepted you as a true friend for solving his indigestion.] [
Now, the Kraken considers you an equal object of friendship.]
[You can increase your friendship with the Kraken and earn RP. ]
[50 RP will be given as a bonus for unlocking favorability.]
[Currently owned RP: 2532]
[Kraken’s affinity for you has increased by +11.] [
Current relationship with the Kraken: +11]
[Current relationship with the character 33 RP was obtained by improving the relationship.]
[Current RP: 2565]
‘Huh.’
What an open affinity with the Kraken.
I hadn’t even thought of this.
It was then.
“Krung! Crumble!”
The Kraken in front of me roared with tremendous force.
And he rolled his eyes in this direction.
No, the words are just eyes.
Its size was no joke.
“….”
Have you ever received a deep gaze from pupils the size of a soccer field that focused in this direction?
I thought that if I was asked a question like that during a job interview, I would be able to confidently say ‘yes’.
In addition, if the interviewer asked me how I felt, I thought that I would be able to answer ‘I must have been confident not to pee’.
It was truly an overwhelming experience.
But did he understand the feeling of this side?
The Kraken moved one leg very slowly and cautiously this way.
“….”
sorry.
I won’t put mayonnaise on squid legs from now on.
Lloyd almost shouted that as he welcomed the Kraken’s leg, which cast a huge shadow.
However, under the pressure of intimidation, he is about to have a big party without saying anything.
He was able to find an unexpected object in the sucker at the end of the Kraken’s leg.
‘statue?’
It was a statue.
It is about 3 meters in size.
It was a seahorse statue made of brilliant emerald.
However, the statue was showing strong vibrations.
Like a wrong phone call on a Sunday morning.
His entire body trembled, saying ‘Booooooong!’.
‘But isn’t that vibration unfamiliar?’
Looking at the statue, Lloyd thought.
‘A while ago, when Mr. Rotorua touched the mark of the prison site. The entire prison site vibrated just like that. The surrounding seawater resonated with the vibrations.’
However, the vibration of the statue looked similar to the previous resonance.
No, the intensity and pattern of vibration were almost the same.
Seeing that, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
‘no way.’
he asked the Kraken.
“Did you just throw up this?”
“Krung-!”
“Then did you feel better after you vomited this up?”
“Crumble!”
Kraken understood Lloyd’s words and nodded.
and said
“Crumble! Krung! Crumble! Krung!”
Come to think of it, I think I accidentally swallowed it about 300 years ago.
I saw something shiny on the sea floor, so I looked at it out of curiosity and accidentally swallowed it.
Nothing else happened after that, so I completely forgot about it.
Of course, Lloyd couldn’t understand Kraken’s explanation.
Instead, I made my own guess through Kraken’s attitude.
‘The fact that I vomited up this statue and felt better after that…That’s right. That’s it. That’s what vibrates in my stomach. That’s why Kraken’s stomach was upset. That was the cause of the acute body condition.’
However, he himself hit the Myeongchi shot.
The Kraken vomited the statue.
Thanks to that, the rapid body seemed to go down.
‘Besides, the vibration that you can see that statue. Certainly, the pattern and intensity of the vibrations of the jewels are the same. That means….’
It means that it is something related to jewels.
Lloyd, convinced that far, asked Kraken.
“Hey, if you show me this…Are you saying you want to hand this over to me?”
“Krung!”
The answer was immediate.
Lloyd quickly received the statue before Kraken changed his mind.
Knock! Boooooooong-!
The statue that fell from the sucker was heard heavily in this side’s arms.
‘Whoa.’
Would this feel like hugging a 3-meter cell phone that vibrates mercilessly?
Lloyd struggled to endure the dizziness and nausea that came up again.
and swam quickly.
It was toward the place where the prison was located.
‘If my guess is correct, this statue must have been part of the prison site.’
So, you need to find your place.
If you do, something secret will be revealed.
I thought so.
It was from then.
I swam diligently.
Leaving behind the crowd of mermaids, worried about the safety of the Kraken.
Before I knew it, I was standing shoulder to shoulder with Xaviel Rotorua.
returned to the jail.
The closer he got to the jewel, the stronger the vibration of the statue.
Buwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
‘…and evil!’
Even so, the concussion makes me dizzy and sick to my stomach.
Lloyd swallowed the sickness that kept coming up.
From the side, Xaviel asked anxiously.
“Are you okay?”
“Do you think I look okay?”
“Well, it looks moderately good and moderately bad.”
“What is that vague answer?”
“So that means just the right amount of worry and just the right amount of fun.”
“….”
“Leave your back for a moment.”
The guy who had been looking at me with accusation reached out his hand.
I touched this back with the palm of my hand.
Are you using an astounding mental method?
I could feel the warm mana seeping through my back.
through skin and muscle.
by way of the spinal cord and nerve blood vessels.
It slowly circled its entire body, then passed through its back and returned to the palm of its hand.
It was like mana blowing on a sore spot.
Thanks to that, the dizziness and nausea subsided without a trace.
“You should be fine now. Your complexion has improved.”
The guy smiled.
And added a word.
“Your face has nothing to show off, but your complexion should be good.”
“…okay. Thank you to the point of tears.”
“It was nothing.”
“Whoa. This is how the body heals. The mind is beaten. That would be great. right?”
“Yes, that’s good.”
“omg. I don’t even openly deny it.”
“Because it’s fun to see Lloyd-sama’s puzzled expression at a moment like this.”
“….”
“I’ll treat it as if I paid for the treatment with that pleasure.”
“her. Heh heh heh.”
Lloyd laughed.
Even if he said that, I wondered if he was worried about me.
‘Anyway, starting with this for now.’
He focused on the statue he was embracing.
Boooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The vibration was getting stronger.
Lloyd noted the intensity of the vibration.
‘Until a while ago, the vibrations got stronger while returning to the prison site, but now it’s a little different.’
The strength of the vibration varied depending on which direction you moved near the site of the prison.
What that tells us is clear.
‘The original place to be placed. The closer you get to it, the stronger the vibration.’
It was from then.
Lloyd moved in the direction where the vibration of the statue became stronger. Approached. Without hesitation. cut the water taking a step Approached.
And found it.
‘It’s here.’
A point about 20 meters south of the base of the jewel.
There was a hole in the floor that was 70 cm in diameter.
It was a hole that matched the shape of the base at the bottom of the statue.
‘Maybe this is the point corresponding to the entrance to the jewel.’
It seems so.
Thinking so, Lloyd put down the statue.
Couduk!
The base of the statue fit snugly into the hole.
At that moment, the resonance of the statue and the treasure site stopped.
It was from then.
Tsuzuzuzu…!
Brilliant light colored the statue.
It was reflected in a dizzying way from the inside of the statue emerald.
It was shot out through the two eyes of the statue.
I drew a three-dimensional picture of light in the water.
Gorgeous lines and faces.
An elaborate light festival.
Finally, the blueprints of the jewels were revealed.
But somehow it wasn’t unfamiliar.
The moment he realized that, Lloyd muttered involuntarily.
‘What is this? Pyramid? General’s gun?’
