MEMORIZE Chapter 785

00785 The ox steps back and catches a mouse. ————————————————– ———————-=

“Sacred Coast.”

A gruff voice was heard. The source was looking at the sea with empty eyes.

As I slowly approach the side, it glances at me. The source squinted at me for a very brief moment, then blinked her eyes once and then looked back out to sea.

“The distant past… . “This area was a coastal area, not a glacier.”

He seemed to understand that I wanted him to explain further and continued speaking like a machine.

“It was on the coast?”

Jegal Haesol showed extraordinary interest. The source nodded slightly.

“The ancient kingdom of Memnon. Although it was destroyed by the Idalkan tribe’s war of conquest, it was once a wealthy maritime kingdom that thrived around this coast.”

“Memnon? Idalkan? I don’t know. “Anyway, what does that have to do with this coast?”

“It’s a grave.”

“yes?”

Jegal Haesol asked curiously what that meant.

“After Idal Khan conquered Memnon, he executed all humans, regardless of age or gender, and buried them in the sea.”

Siiii. Suddenly a cold wind blew. It was a strange sound considering the wind. Should I say that it sounded like a cry of frustration? Jegal Haesol was staring at the source with a dumbfounded look on his face.

“The reason why my being remembers this episode.”

The source finally withdrew its gaze and looked back at us.

“After some time had passed. “At the same time as the sea cooled rapidly, the surrounding area around the Sacred Coast gradually changed.”

“The change is from this coastline to a snowy field… . “Do you mean this?”

“I know what you’re asking, but it’s just an anomaly. “We only mentioned the most likely causal relationship, but could not determine the exact cause.”

“Oh, I just heard it. “You suddenly become scared.”

Lee Yoo-jeong shrugged her shoulders and hugged Ha Seung-yoon. (Ha Seung-yoon looked happy, looking like he was about to faint.)

I didn’t know about this anecdote about the sea, so it was interesting to hear. If you think about it, the glacial snow field emerged as a topic of interest for Atlanta even in the first round. The presence of ruins alone is enough to attract attention, but other than that, users have been appearing one after another claiming to have seen ghosts while exploring the sea. There were many strange rumors going around, such as disappearing in a puff of smoke and never returning, or seeing a ghost ship, but none of them have been clearly confirmed. In fact, of the countless users who explored the sea, nearly 80% survived safely. However, to put it another way, about 20% of them disappeared in the sea. And that too without a word.

Anyway, even if ghosts actually exist, it has nothing to do with us. The important thing is to find the Divine Maid’s Song somewhere on the coast called Sacred. Of course, since you remember the location, the best way would be to pass quickly rather than worrying about it.

So now the topic is how to cross that sea.

Clap clap.

When I clapped my hands a couple of times, attention was drawn. Everyone seemed to have heard Gwon’s words, but they didn’t look very good.

“What’s wrong with your faces? This isn’t my first time meeting a ghost. A ruined laboratory, a frozen forest, a mountain range where dragons sleep… . “You’ve experienced it at least once, right?”

Then someone said, “This is my first time.” He chirped. This is Jegal Haesol’s voice. When I glance at it, it turns its head and looks at the sea with vague eyes. Good reaction speed.

“Rather, we need to solve one problem at hand.”

“Problem?”

In response to someone’s question, I smiled quietly and opened my mouth.

“yes. “From now on, we have to build a road to cross that sea.”

*

My colleagues looked puzzled. It was worth it. Of course, I thought they would travel by transportation, but they created a road out of nowhere. If I hadn’t known the situation, I probably wouldn’t have understood it either. However, transportation ability had to be saved at all costs.

I tried everything I could to persuade him. I talked about this and that, but in the end, the conclusion was simple. Since we don’t even know where Shinnyeogok is, transportation should be left as a last resort. In particular, it was effective to mention the cooldown time of the transport ability.

Is it because I put too much force into my voice? After a long persuasion, Jegal Haesol was looking at me with suspicious eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“no. “Because it’s strange.”

Jegal Haesol tilted his head.

“First of all, I understood what you meant. It’s true in every detail, but… .”

He trailed off, and a strange smile appeared on his lips. I suddenly feel uncomfortable.

“Isn’t it a little strange for someone who was handling the shuttle to suddenly say that?”

The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are not smiling at all. Although it was said lightly, the intention behind those words is not thought to be light at all. His eyes filled with deep curiosity seemed to pierce her heart. A thought crossed my mind that maybe it wasn’t a joke, but maybe it was said in a joking tone on purpose.

“Anyway, then how are you going to explore this sea?”

Fortunately, Heo Jun-young returned the topic at the right time. After looking away from Jegal Haesol, I slowly walked in the direction of the sea. I hesitated for a moment, but soon I felt my colleagues following me.

After walking for about 5 minutes, the sea came right in front of us. Looking up close, the sea was so expansive that it was not enough to say it was just wide. I pointed to the middle of the sea with my index finger.

“You can all see the glacier.”

In addition to its vast size, there are also many glaciers floating in the sea. It was not uncommon to see huge icebergs forming mountain ranges, so it could be considered a large glacial forest.

“We will build a walking path from this point to the nearest glacier.”

After touching the wet snow with my foot, I looked back at my colleagues.

“By freezing the ocean.”

Of course, this did not mean freezing the entire ocean. Because that’s impossible in the first place.

However,

“Of course, not all of it, we just need to make it so that we can walk. in short… .”

“You mean to create an ice road using ice-type magic?”

Jegal Haesol was the first to react. I like people who can communicate well, but strangely enough, Jegal Haesol is not like that. Should I say that he is an unexpected being? To tell you the truth, I think I felt a little anxious.

Cha So-rim asked.

“Make a road by freezing sea water… . “Is that possible?”

“It is possible. “Hayeon used a similar magic last time.”

At Kim Han-byeol’s words, Lee Chae flashed across the eyes of three or four people. It was probably reminiscent of the expedition to the ‘Tomb of the Savage King’. At that time, didn’t Jeong Ha-yeon freeze all the plants surrounding the area with a single spell?

“but… .”

Kim Han-byeol, who was about to say something, blurted out awkwardly and closed her mouth.

“that’s right. It is possible. But the situation then and now are different. “Is this what you wanted to say?”

Jegal Haesol came out again. Kim Han-byeol slightly raised his eyes, but quietly nodded his head.

“Freezes the opponent. Freezing sea water to make roads. The only thing these two words have in common is freezing, but their purpose is completely different, right? “First of all, to conclude, the latter is much more difficult.”

“yes. “It requires not only distribution of magical power, but also careful control.”

Ha Seung-woo elaborates on the following explanation.

“That is correct, but why do you keep speaking informally?”

Jegal Haesol scoffed, then gently put his hands together and turned to look at me.

“Anyway, so. Of course, the Clan Lord’s idea is good, but I thought of a better way?”

“… “What method?”

“You have wings, right?”

“… … .”

Jegal Haesol smiled brightly.

“Last time I saw you, it seemed like you had wings… .”

… Damn, I knew this would happen. Zhuge Haesol’s words mean to use dragon foot painting. okay. I wondered why I didn’t bring this up.

“By circling this sea with its wings, it is searching for a place believed to be Shinnyeogok. With me, of course. And once you find the place, the next thing is… . “You know, right?”

“ah. that’s right. That’s really good. Anyway, as long as you find a place, everything is OK, right?”

Everyone seemed to understand what I was saying and showed a look of agreement. I had a hard time managing my expression. I don’t know if it was just a feeling or a feeling, but I knew at least one thing.

In other words, Jegal Haesol was saying this.

‘You’ve been using it as much as you want, so why are you suddenly trying to save money?’

I was deep in thought, but I couldn’t see any breakthrough. For a moment, I couldn’t overcome the tightness in my heart and thought about just revealing the secret. However, at the moment, it was a choice that should never have been made.

When I thought about that, I suddenly burst into laughter. Isn’t the situation ironic? I’m in a situation where I need to get there as quickly as possible, but I can’t believe they’re doing something like this to hide the secret. Honestly, it’s annoying.

Anyway, in the end, I had no choice but to talk back.

“I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”

“oh. why?”

“It certainly has wings. “It’s not an ability that can be used so poorly.”

“Are you saying there are restrictions?”

“yes. “It’s not complete and I acquired it with limited abilities to begin with, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

“Hmm.”

Jegal Haesol crossed his arms and sighed. At first glance, it may seem like you agree, but you must be asking, ‘Are you going to come out like this?’ It feels like he is saying.

“Isn’t there a guarantee that we will be able to find the Divine Lady’s Song within those limited conditions? “It would be better to use it little by little while exploring according to my plan.”

“So you’re saying let’s save transportation capacity anyway?”

Jegal Haesol asked as if he was trying to get confirmation of something,

“If the area to be explored was land instead of the sea, we wouldn’t have had this much trouble.”

I responded with what I thought was appropriate.

A little time passed and Jegal Haesol shrugged his shoulders.

“Oh~. Well, then I can’t help it. “We wizards have no choice but to suffer.”

Huyu, I guess I somehow understood it. Maybe I just overlooked it.

With my heart pounding, I gazed at the sea again.

“is it so. Whether it works or not, let’s give it a try first. Once you succeed in bridging your first ice path to the nearest glacier, the rest will probably be easy. As you can see, the distance of the glacier floating in the sea is… .”

It was then.

『We are detecting the activation of user Zhuge Haesol’s unique ability, ‘The Mind’s Eye Looking Down at the Sky’!』

『User Kim Soo-hyun’s unique ability, ‘Third Eye’, responds!』

『Bronze rank judgment… . I confirmed the difference in case.』

『The ‘third eye’ succeeds in seeing through the ‘heart’s eye that looks down at the sky’!』

“… … .”

As I was casually reading the message printed in the air, my field of vision suddenly narrowed, and before I knew it, I was glaring at Jegal Hae-sol.

The eyes of the heart looking down at the sky. Although it is not as effective as the third eye, I understand that it can have somewhat similar effects depending on how it is used. So what on earth was Jegal Haesol trying to see?

… no way.

“Eek. It doesn’t work again.”

After a while, Jegal Haesol stuck out his tongue like a prankster caught playing. Then he smiled brightly and moved towards the sea.

“great. You said it was an icy road, right? Shall I try it first? “I think it would be kind of fun.”

At that moment, I automatically and slowly took a step forward.

“User Jegal Haesol.”

The voice was surprisingly cold even when I heard it myself.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

sorry. I made a pretty stupid mistake.

I was writing down today’s content the day before yesterday and ended up thinking, ‘Oh my gosh.’ As I wrote less, a settings conflict occurred.

One is a setting related to the Sacred Coast, and the other is a setting related to the journey to Shinnyeogok… . If the story proceeded according to the former settings, an error occurred in the latter settings. If one gear is misaligned, it feels like the whole thing is misaligned. Although I was fortunate to have discovered the error in advance, my thoughts crossed my mind.

‘key… . A situation where transportation capacity must be conserved… . Plus the waiting time… . But if you go like this, it goes against the coastal setting.’

‘Should I say I brought the guardian jewel? Ah, but that won’t work because there is a limit to magical power.’

‘It’s okay to go like this… . Then it doesn’t make sense for this character to stay still. There’s a better way. It was also revealed in Atlanta and in the tomb of a barbarian king.’

‘Ai, I set you as a genius for no reason… . ㅜ.ㅠ’

After much deliberation, I finally found a way. It was originally supposed to appear in the second half of the episode, but it was pulled into this part. Oh my, it’s such a shame I’m dying.

So we succeeded in fitting it all together, but in fact, it would have been a problem that would not have occurred if we had thought through the plot in the first place. I will think about it a little more and write about it in the future. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. _(__)_
