I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 199 - 159: The Deal

Then, Rogel also began to consider the conditions proposed by the mysterious figure.

First, to go to the border of the Sea of Sin and the Harmony Sea Area to seek an extraterrestrial object.

Secondly, to witness the sword ceremony.

In return, an Apostle-tier magic potion recipe can be obtained.

While Rogel was deep in thought, the mysterious figure across the table spoke again.

[To enhance the credibility of this transaction, we can first provide you with some of the rewards.]

Saying this, he took out a black scroll and handed it to Rogel.

[You have obtained important information concerning the Apostle Tier ×1.]

[Important Information Concerning the Apostle Tier]

[Type: Book]

[Explanation: It records extraordinary information related to the Apostle Tier, handwritten by someone.]

After reading the scroll in his hand, Rogel said nothing.

In his eyes, the tier displayed by the person in front of him was "Extraordinary," indicating he was an Extraordinary.

Although he wasn’t sure if their true aims were as they claimed, it at least proved that the organization behind them likely had the capacity to produce Apostle-tier magic potion recipes and had shown sufficient sincerity.

The mysterious figure across the table spoke again.

[There is still a month left until the official start of the sword ceremony, and this time may not be enough for you to go to the sea area where the extraterrestrial object is located.]

[Perhaps you could consider going there after completing the sword ceremony.]

[After all, we do not have any requirements regarding the order of these two conditions.]

[Oh, by the way, take this.]

The mysterious figure took out another item from his pocket.

This item was not unfamiliar to Rogel, the Sound Transmission Conch.

[This is a Sound Transmission Conch.]

[If you need anything, you can contact us through this.]

Rogel accepted it.

[No need to wait to contact later, I already have something I need your help with now.]

After that, he didn’t hold back and shared the information about the Book-Storage Eye.

The mysterious figure paused to consider and then nodded.

[This request is quite simple, we can find it for you.]

Rogel nodded, realizing that if they could reveal the whereabouts of the Book-Storage Eye, it would save him a lot of time.

[In exchange, what conditions do you have? Feel free to state them.]

Rogel didn’t believe in free lunches.

But the mysterious figure just smiled upon hearing this.

[No need to be so polite, Captain Rogel, this is just a small favor, you can consider it as partial pre-payment.]

The mysterious figure turned around.

[Since that’s the case, you must be agreeing to this deal.]

[We will prepare the materials you need and contact you through the Sound Transmission Conch.]

[A bit of advice for you in the meantime.]

[During this period, you might want to modify and reinforce your ship a bit.]

[A regular large ship might not be enough to withstand the roaring tides of the sea.]

[Farewell until we meet again, Captain Rogel.]

With that, the mysterious figure manipulated the bead in his hand to disable the sound-shielding barrier, and slowly walked towards the city, getting further away.

"Shadow of the Divine Descendant..."

In front of the screen, Rogel muttered to himself, deep in thought.

After the barrier was lifted, Mira and Yas came next to Rogel, watching the mysterious figure’s silhouette.

[Why is this person so mysterious, Captain? Is he an Extraordinary? Why did he come to find you?]

Mira was a bit curious.

[Made a deal.]

[As for the details, we’ll discuss it on the ship.]

Upon hearing this, Mira nodded and didn’t ask further.

The three ended their outing for the day and headed towards the port where the Gelin was docked.

On the way, Rogel took out the [Important Information Concerning the Apostle Tier] and began to read it.

...

[So, Kadi, who seemed to be a fool, really is the prince of the Thousand Islands Kingdom?]

[And... the great tide, an apocalyptic disaster, what exactly is that like?]

On the Gelin, everyone sat around the table as Mira listened to Rogel’s statement, frowning slightly.

This matter was not something Rogel hid from everyone, as the Gelin wasn’t just him and Lina.

If a decision was to be made, it would have to be with the consent of all crew members.

So, upon returning to the Gelin, Rogel gathered everyone for a meeting.

He shared the demands from the Shadow of the Divine Descendant and the information he knew about the great tide.

[The purpose of this organization is certainly not as simple as they claim. Given they have Apostle-tier magic potion recipes, they likely also have Apostle-tier Extraordinaries.]

[Why would such a powerful organization want us to participate?]

[They must have other motives.]

Lina analyzed.

Rogel nodded, well aware of this, then turned to look at Yas and Mira.

[You make the decision, I’ll follow your lead.]

Yas’s words were straightforward.

[There are dangers everywhere on the sea; nowhere is absolutely safe... Besides, since a disaster is approaching, it’s essential to improve our strength.]

[I’ll leave such matters to you to decide, Captain.]

Mira smiled.

She wasn’t foolish; currently, all the extraordinary magic potions on the Gelin were provided by Rogel, and he knew the most about mysterious knowledge.

Besides, Rogel usually had his own considerations when doing things, and following his decisions wouldn’t be problematic.

At this point, Lina also nodded, signaling her support for Rogel’s decision.

Finally, Rogel looked at Noemi.

Then a black line appeared on his forehead.

"Noemi, stop playing with the bone and give your opinion."

Rogel snatched the bone from Noemi’s hand.

"Huh? Opinion? Well... I have no opinion, I’ll follow your lead, hehe..."

Noemi scratched her head and laughed a bit awkwardly.

Rogel took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and returned the bone to her.

He didn’t know where she found the bone.

"Meow~"

At this moment, Big Orange came out and meowed, seemingly expressing its own opinion.

Rogel reached out and petted the cat, then spoke to everyone present.

"In that case, let’s give it a try. For this month, let’s not run around recklessly."

"We need to do our best to improve our strength."

"Next, we need to do some planning and preparation..."

...

Cave, Withered Altar.

The screen lit up, and Rogel’s game character slowly stood up.

On the ground beside him, two golden circular light arrays appeared.

The figures of Lina and others gradually formed, finally taking shape as golden silhouettes with body outlines, standing beside Rogel.

"You have summoned the partner—Lina."

"You have summoned the partner—Yas."

"Your partners will be retained here in a special form. If they are defeated, they will be forcibly removed from the cave, returning to their original place, with a cooldown of 240 hours."

The "Summoned Partner" function doesn’t seem to directly teleport Lina and the others’ actual bodies into the cave.

They seem to be temporarily retained here in a special form by some power.

But even so, its functionality remains powerful. After all, during the summoning period, their actual bodies don’t stay in place and can still be used for emergency situations.

"So, how do the weapons and equipment I crafted for you feel?"

Rogel inquired.

Apart from the already explored Withered Forest, there are three directions left to explore in the Land Cave.

These places surely have plenty of monsters, which should be enough for Rogel to level up to the extraordinary cap of thirty.

As for the surplus monsters, they’ll be left for Lina and the others to level up.

This conclusion was reached after discussions with everyone.

After all, on the Gelin, Rogel’s combat strength and level are the highest, so naturally, his strength should be prioritized for advancement to a higher tier.

"Not bad."

Yas looked at the glove in his hand and nodded.

"Why do these extraordinary equipment and weapons all have negative effects?"

Lina looked at the dagger in her hand, puzzled.

Her dagger was also crafted by Rogel; it can increase damage but comes with the negative effect of increasing received damage.

"Not sure, but ordinary extraordinary equipment always has negative effects."

Rogel shook his head.

As he spoke, he draped the Ancient Demon Pattern Cloak over his shoulders, then wielded the Brocade Wood Blade in his right hand and held the Blackthorn Spellbook in his left.

Rumble!

The Forest Guardian stepped heavily to the side of the three of them.

The Forest Guardian has a talent that increases defense and a control skill, making it a good tank.

A group of Bone Spirits also transformed into bone bodies, wearing various sorts of equipment and weapons.

Lina and Yas exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Rogel not only has many skills but also powerful summons like this.

Both being extraordinaries, why do they always feel inferior?

Rogel thought for a moment and then put away the Bone Spirits.

Different from the clones controlled and manipulated by Rogel, these Bone Spirits were dull, and it wouldn’t be good if they stole the show during the battle later.

"Which way to go?"

Lina asked.

Rogel shrugged.

"It’s your first time here, so you guys choose. They’re all the same anyway, no difference."

Lina heard this, then casually pointed in a direction.

"Let’s go this way then."

Rogel looked at it; the direction was the "Collapsing Rock Hills."

After making the choice, neither Rogel nor Yas had any objections, and the three of them began heading towards the Rock Hills.

...

On the sea, Aitar sat on a self-made small raft.

At this time, his hair had grown very long, and his beard had grown somewhat, making him look quite disheveled.

He looked at the worn leather book page in his hand, silent.

He never expected that the uncle who saved his life would want to kill him over the contents of a page, and in a cruel and painful manner no less.

Why save him in the first place if they intended to kill him?

Aitar’s expression carried a hint of pain.

"Will doing this really make one an extraordinary?"

Aitar hesitated, but then he saw the necklace around his neck.

"...If I become an extraordinary, wielding as powerful a force as that guy..."

Perhaps he could grasp his own fate and find the answers he was seeking...

As he was contemplating, he suddenly noticed what seemed like a large ship appearing on the sea in the distance. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This made his eyes shine.

However, what he didn’t know was that on this ship, a skull was fluttering along with the flag, blowing in the wind...
