57 - Seafarer, Seaman's Hat!
"Where have you been all morning? I can't find you in the valley. "Weel stood in front of the stone cauldron, sorting out the ingredients.
"Look at you sleeping soundly" brushed the dust off his body, Bo Ruisi looked curiously at the way Wer cooked, "I went around the island, this island is so big, there must be places we haven't explored." β
"Oh? Where did you just go? β
"At the foot of the mountain, I found a cave." Wille was startled and looked back, "Spider Cave? β
"There are a few of them, but they're already weakened." Boreth reached out and pulled a few white blobs out of the air.
"Yesterday you said, it would be nice to have some cobwebs, No, here you go."
"This is in that hole?"
"yes, a lot of it is covered with dust, and these are the inner cores of the cocoon."
"Thank you. You're not hurt, are you? Ver took the silk from Boreth's hand, and saw her raise an eyebrow. Weiel's perception of her combat skills has been taken up another notch.
After a pause, Ver poured a few of the spices he found into the pot, summoned some water, placed it in the stone pot, and closed the lid.
"You're coming back right away?"
"No, I'm still walking around the neighborhood, and although there are forests everywhere, there's nothing strange anymore." Boris looked at the hot air bubbling next to the lid, and Ollie crouched beside him, trying to touch the pot with his hand, but was burned.
"I remember there's a stone path down the mountain, you've been there too?"
Bo Ruisi was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, "I can't get through there, it's too high." Hmm, I think about it. Then he clapped his hands and told Wille that it was a stone path that was half-suspended in the air, and that it was right across the dense woods, so that it could not be seen on the ground if he was not careful.
"I haven't been there, and if I want to come, to get there, I have to go over the mountain."
"That is, the whole island, we only have underground and there haven't been?"
"Underground? How can there be an underground here...... Didn't you tell me this is a volcano, Wiel? "Boreth finds it interesting." Even in the depths of the cave I just visited, I could see some steaming places...... If something really digs into the ground here, tsk. β
"Eh~ Bo Ruisi, I know, I'm just curious. No, I'm cautious. "Pick up Ollie and let it stop getting entangled with the stone pot" So, that's the only place left that hasn't been? β
"Yes, but as far as I can remember, it should be the town of Wolanshan." Boreth sat on the stone bench that Ver had made out and placed outside, saying that it was a stone bench, but in fact it was just a few stone bricks.
"Oh, how did you deduce?"
"Will you, Will, remember you said you went up to a hill?" Boreth lived at a table made of stone and planks, "I went there. β
"Boreth, I'm curious about one thing, how fast are you running?" Wiel replied not to the question.
"Don't interrupt...... I just got back from over there. "On the mountain, I can see a town other than the barrier in the middle of the sea...... Not here. β
"Is that really a town? I was right. "So, how fast can you run?" β
"Of course, I'm pretty good on my feet...... Don't interrupt! Bo Ruisi blushed and patted the table. That's the town of Wolanshan. β
"Oh, I see. That mountain, I want to go there, how can I come back in a day......" Will Willow put Ollie on the table, "all right, Wolan Mountain Town, what's the matter, is there something out there?" β
"No, that's not what I'm trying to say...... Call! ......," said Boreth, "aren't you curious about this place at all?" β
Weier waved his hand, "It's not curiosity, but I'll go sooner or later, I just came back from the cemetery yesterday, and I'll rest today." β
Leaning on the table, Wille said, "The most frustrating question I have right now is, number one: how do I get to the beach?" β
There were cliffs all around, and the small gap that Weir had climbed up couldn't go down at all, and he couldn't say that, if he had some professional mountaineering equipment, maybe he could try it, but if he really had those things, would he still be melancholy?
If you can't go to the beach, don't think about going to sea.
"Second: how do I go to sea?"
Boris couldn't get out of the barrier of the sacred tree, so at most there were only two people, Weir and Orlieβah, one person and one pet.
In other words, Vere wanted to go to sea alone. And the boat that goes to sea can't make a raft, otherwise the wind and waves at sea will turn him into debris!
If you can't use a raft, use a boat. Boats on the river are not allowed, and the only difference between them and a raft is whether or not they can hold the water.
So you have to use big ships, the smallest sea ships......
It's a pity that Weir can't drive away alone, or rather, it's okay to float on the boat, but he can't do it where he wants to go.
After all, Wiel didn't drum up the piloting of ships.
Ships of the Famine system? Row a boat to a row and move on your own? Vere had great reservations about this, after all, he felt that he might not be able to build the Queen Anne's Revenge.
Well, even if he built a ship that could move with his own mind, where would he go?
Even if there is a compass, well, it is okay to go in one direction, but once he falls asleep...... Who's going to take care of where the ship goes? It is estimated that in two days, he will not even know how to come back.
As for the details of going to sea, the direction of the wind, the hoisting of the sails, a whole lot of things, it made Weier's head hurt.
Therefore, going to sea is a good idea, but how to go to sea has become the biggest problem.
"Third: what about supplies?"
Water is not a problem, with the magic stored every day in the lines in his hands, Veir will not die of thirst even if he runs to the Taklamakan Desert.
The question is what to eat?
It's good that he can go to another island where there is food to find in a few days, if you have to drift at sea for a year and a half...... It is estimated that by the time the boat drifts to the shore, he has already done it as an adult.
Wiel touched Ollie's fluff and sighed, "So, I'm just very sad now. It should be possible to think of a way to make it up to me. But I want to go to the open sea...... Hmm, what a headache. β
"Then you couldn't wait to plant those seeds in that field yesterday, and you already had a plan in mind?" Boreth nodded.
"Yes, but there is no one who can help me go to sea...... Even if it's just one, although there are fewer people, at least they can sail accurately...... Alas. β
"Yes~ There is no one else on this island except you and me......" Bo Ruisi sighed.
At this time, Ollie, who was on the table, stood up, stretched out a finger with his foreleg, and pointed at himself, "Whoa~whoa!" ~β
"Uh-huh, got it, our Ollie is great too." In the past few days since he returned from the Blackstone Secret Realm, Ollie has been growing, and now he is almost as old as Satsuma. "I knew you could grow so big, so it's better to call you Satsuma~ Oh, yes, you don't have a nose."
Ver smiled and scratched Ollie's face with his right hand.
"Whew!" Ollie cocked his waist and turned his head to the side, as if he understood......
"Ollie, don't be angry." On a whim, Wiel took out the hat, which was a little old, but still neat, from his backpack. "Put it on for you and see how it goes?"
The hat was too big for Ollie's head, and when it was placed on Ollie's head, it covered his entire head.
As if he didn't like it very much, Ollie shook his head vigorously, but he couldn't shake it off because of the brim of his hat, and his claws were still a little short for himself.
"Vere! Don't play tricks on Ollie. Boris smiled and held out his hand, trying to take Ollie's hat off. Hey?! Not to Wiel. What's going on? β
Wiel sensed something was wrong, too. Ollie is smart, how could he be stumped by a hat?
Besides, it's too shaky!
"Ollie!" As he spoke, Ver quickly grabbed Ollie's hat with his hand, as if he had taken it off. "What's going on? Can't take it off? Not! Wrong. β
Veel felt a suction force coming from his hat, and a glow came out of the back of his hand, and his physical strength and magic flowed towards the hat on Ollie's head as if it had opened a floodgate.
"Boreth, don't come here, this thing is sucking ...... Hmm, huh! It only took a few seconds for Vere to feel exhausted.
"Weir, what the hell ......" Boris didn't stop and was swept in. Oh my god, what's going on?! β
With the infusion of magic power, the hat gradually glowed white, and the white light gradually brightened.
Not to mention Ollie's struggles, Vere was now like a salted fish, his hands glued to his hat, his tongue sticking out on the table, swinging back and forth with Ollie's struggles.
Bo Ress also had a slight sweat on his head.
Just as Vere felt like he was going to be drained, a soft push came from the ground, knocking Vere to the ground. Gorgeously fainted.
Boris took a few steps back with this force, and lowered her body, large drops of sweat sliding down her face. "To ...... Finally...... What's going on? Ollie! Vere! β
The white light on the table gradually stopped.
Ollie stood on the table intact.
Boris was surprised to see that Ollie was holding out a finger, as if to gauge the direction of the wind.
Boris noticed that Ollie had not changed, and that the two large ears were also standing upright, but on top of his head, the hat had shrunk to just the right size, and that it was neat, brand new, and was worn on Ollie's head.
There were even two holes left out that didn't obscure Ollie's ears. "O, Ollie?"
Standing up straight, Ollie stood on the table, Boris actually had the illusion that he was standing on the ship, and inexplicably felt that Ollie in front of him was very energetic, not at all like himself and Weir lying on the ground.
"On the island, there is no wind, and it is not suitable for navigation." A childish voice reached Boreth's ears. "Hello, seafarer ~ Li reports to you!"
