I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 321 - 211: Burning Will (Double Length)

No.

At the same time, it seemed to be somewhat aggrieved.

This made Rogel frown slightly.

It seemed that it wasn’t that it didn’t want to tell him, but rather that it couldn’t do so for some reason?

"Can you tell me about my origins?"

Moments later, Rogel received a response once again.

No.

Once again, there was a feeling of grievance.

Rogel sighed, understanding the reason perhaps.

Then he tried to ask some comparatively simpler questions.

For instance, how to lift Mira’s curse, the location of Iya’s hometown, the whereabouts of Doyle Devis, the situation of the Five Great Seas, and so on...

As expected, after asking these questions, Rogel received its emotional feedback.

Exchange.

These questions could be answered, but they needed corresponding things to be exchanged.

This made Rogel breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed, in some sense, it truly achieved omniscience.

But there were some taboos that it could not easily touch, and most questions could be answered through exchange.

Then, it gave Rogel a special emotional feedback once again.

This made Rogel understand its vague intention.

Generally, it meant that different answers required different levels of Faith Value to exchange.

Like the simplest question, the location of Iya’s hometown.

Based on Rogel’s current Faith Value, calculating one unit as 20 points, at least five units were needed for the exchange.

Which is almost more than 100 Faith Value.

And this was still the simplest question.

And likely at a friendly price...

Thinking of this, Rogel sighed.

Well, at least there’s something to look forward to; it’s much better than before, isn’t it?

"Alright, I need to know how to break the curse on Mira now."

"Let’s exchange."

Rogel said.

Then, the feedback from the other side left him silent.

Its meaning was simple.

He still owed Faith Value from the recent question about the Lava Legion.

And based on the conversion, he would need about ten times to pay it off.

As there was no cultivation method like meditation and visualization, he currently could fill up his Faith Value approximately once every two days.

Which means he would need about twenty days to know the answer to the next question.

And it was an advance.

At this moment, it also conveyed a feeling of "embarrassment".

It seemed that collecting "money" from a friend made it feel somewhat uneasy.

"It’s alright, you’ve helped me a lot; it’s expected."

Rogel sighed in his heart and comforted it with a word.

Presumably, this was likely due to some kind of rule restriction.

...

Time passed slowly.

Due to the special nature of the Sea of Lava, the Gelin’s advancement was not fast.

And both Rogel and the others were either cultivating or paying off debts.

Days later, Rogel found the last treasure in the lava series.

This treasure was located on a large volcanic island, surrounded by three volcanoes, forming an altar.

But, unexpectedly.

[You have found a treasure location.]

[But the Treasure Chest is empty.]

This treasure had been found in advance by someone else.

In the center of this altar rested a skeleton, silently lying in the middle.

This was an oddly shaped skeleton, covered in many Molten Worms.

However, Rogel vaguely saw the outline of a monster next to the Magma Sub-dragon from it.

Presumably, he was one of the subordinates of the Magma Sub-dragon seen in the Golden Curtain.

As for that Magma Sub-dragon.

Rogel had already witnessed its death in the Golden Curtain.

Despite the Secret Organization’s attempt to preserve its body, intending to turn it into a guardian treasure like the Buck Demon Serpent, it exhausted its last bit of strength in self-destruction, preserving its final dignity.

Therefore, the Secret Organization had to settle for making another of the Magma Sub-dragon’s generals into a monster guarding the treasure.

Despite not finding the treasure, he didn’t feel disappointed; instead, he heaved a slight sigh of relief.

After observing for a while, with Uvie Muzhe’s confirmation, Rogel took the Dragon Egg to one of the volcano tops.

This time, the lava flowing from the volcano’s mouth was genuine.

However, Uvie Muzhe used its power to control the Dragon Egg, making it float above the volcano mouth, continuously absorbing energy.

Seeing Uvie Muzhe controlling the Dragon Egg, Rogel took out another egg: "What about this one? Also incubate it near the volcano?"

"As you wish, but I don’t think there’s anything good inside."

Rogel thought for a moment and decided to set it aside for now and wait until it became useful later.

After all, the quality of this thing wasn’t particularly high.

After a while, Uvie Muzhe stopped its movements.

Then, it transferred the Dragon Egg to another volcano mouth to continue absorbing energy.

After repeating this process nearly three times,

Rogel watched the Dragon Egg emitting a glow and slightly shaking, somewhat puzzled: "Is it shaking? Is it about to hatch?"

"It should be." Uvie Muzhe said.

Then, in Rogel’s gaze.

This Dragon Egg shook again, this time with a significant amplitude.

It seemed to be on the verge of breaking out of its shell.

Then it stopped shaking in front of Rogel and Uvie Muzhe’s gaze, the glow on its surface disappearing.

"What’s going on? Did it fail to hatch?"

Rogel was somewhat surprised.

Uvie Muzhe was also puzzled at this moment: "Strange... it shouldn’t be..."

Clearly, it had absorbed almost enough energy, looking like it was about to break out of its shell.

But at the critical moment, it suddenly stopped.

It was very puzzling.

"Or maybe, manually help it break the shell."

Rogel suggested.

There was a reason for this.

Some creatures do indeed struggle to hatch due to a hard shell.

In this situation, helping it break the shell wouldn’t be a bad thing.

But Uvie Muzhe, after carefully checking, refused Rogel’s proposal: "No, let’s just wait for now; its aura is very normal."

"But don’t store it like you did before."

Uvie Muzhe said.

"Alright." Rogel nodded.

It seemed that some unexpected change prevented the young dragon from hatching.

He wasn’t anxious either.

Even though Uvie Muzhe said that the young dragon hatched from the Dragon Egg would help him, Rogel didn’t really need it.

He could only say it was a side task.

Thus, after the Dragon Egg absorbed the energy and maintained its status, Rogel placed it on the Gelin.

Then, they continued onwards.

...

After advancing for some time,

The Gelin had already delved deep into the core of the Sea of Lava.

The surrounding environment became increasingly perilous.

Black clouds loomed in the sky, while bright, scorching lava billowed on the sea.

Volcanoes were nearly a few hundred meters apart.

There even appeared some land formed by cooled lava.

However, there was generally no vegetation growing on it, with occasional traces of a cluster of Flame Flowers.

Bang!

A volcano on an island erupted, spewing lava like a canopy spilling in all directions.

Some of the lava rain fell directly around the advancing Gelin.

"Shield!"

Mira called forth the Spirit Speech Art to protect the Gelin.

Rogel also activated the Secret Art Hand, causing the lava to veer off and miss the ship.

However, they were surprised to find that there were shadows of creatures in the lava spewed from the volcano.

They looked somewhat like slimes, spherical, jelly-like, with a slightly reddish, semi-transparent body.

This was a type of Extraordinary Creature called Warm Ball, naive and harmless, usually soaked in volcanic lava.

Sometimes, they just had the misfortune of being flung out by the volcano.

After being pushed away by Rogel and Mira, these Warm Balls weren’t angry; instead, they shook their bodies, shaking off the lava, and bounced on the surface of the Lava Sea towards the volcano.
