I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 350 - 225: Winning Big, Clone Ascension (Double - )
He quickly exited the True Perspective and let the game character handle it on its own.
If things went as expected, he might be tormented by this bizarre Negative Effect all day.
A moment later.
Rogel’s game character appeared weak.
The Negative Effect of the Exotic Raisins was still quite strong.
Once the power of the Illusory Black Stone had recovered somewhat, Rogel chose to teleport back.
But as he teleported back to the original location, the surroundings suddenly brightened.
[You are burned by lava, Life Value -100.]
[You are burned by lava, Life Value -100.]
[...]
A bunch of damage notifications immediately popped up in the information bar.
"Damn! Fell into the lava!"
Rogel quickly activated the Illusory Black Stone, using its power to shift his body with the space above him.
Moments later, Rogel, flapping his Dragon Wings, appeared above the Lava Rock Prison.
This brought a sigh of relief to him.
Then, looking downward, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
At this moment, the Lava Rock Prison was shattered into countless pieces, buildings collapsed, rocks splintered, and slowly sank downwards.
The original black smoke had dispersed, vanishing entirely.
Only the tops of some buildings were vaguely visible, having not yet completely submerged.
The Serpent-Tailed Minotaur Statue was also mostly submerged.
The Lava Rock Prison had completely dissolved.
It seemed that after losing the Lock of the Burning Furnace, the dying Demigod, the Lava Rock Prison no longer had the strength to sustain itself.
"Time to go."
Rogel turned his head, discerned the direction, and swiftly flew back the way he came.
Along the way, he saw traces of a cooled lava path, likely a road paved by Weinan.
At the end of the path, the familiar Gelin appeared in his view.
Rogel’s heart eased, and he flew towards Gelin.
Before long, he was approaching Gelin.
At this time, most of the crew was on deck.
Weinan was also on the ship, in addition to another Yudona dressed in armor.
It seemed she had already explained the situation to Lina and the others.
The first to notice Rogel were Weinan and Lina.
Before long, Rogel landed on deck.
Seeing him, everyone was pleasantly surprised, feeling a weight lifted from their hearts.
[That’s great, Captain, you’re okay! I thought you were dead!]
Noemi cheered happily.
The Lava Rock Prison had only just submerged, so the crew still held hopes for his survival.
But if it had been a little later, things might have been different.
[Good to know you’re safe.]
Lina looked at him and sighed in relief.
Just as Rogel was about to say something, he felt a discomfort in the character’s stomach.
[Let’s sail away from here first.]
Then he turned to Weinan, speaking quickly.
[Wait for me a moment.]
...
After coming out of the restroom, Rogel first briefly explained the situation inside the Lava Rock Prison to the crew.
[Mira, I’ll find you later.]
After saying this, Rogel turned to look at Weinan and the Yudona Knight beside her.
[Next, let’s talk about our affair.]
He said.
Weinan smiled, looking serious.
[It’s good that you’re safe, Sir Rogel.]
[Whether our trade goes through or not, I will regard you as my most faithful and reliable friend.]
[Whatever you need, I’ll be more than willing to help, this is my unchanging promise.]
When the Lava Rock Prison was submerging earlier, she didn’t see Rogel appear immediately.
She felt distressed and even guilty for leaving.
She could discern souls and to some extent feel the emotions in them.
This was why she trusted Rogel, because she sensed Rogel’s confidence.
But what she didn’t expect was for a stranger to honor a promise this much.
Risking life to retrieve Demigod Embers for a promise, such quality was truly admirable.
To be friends with someone like this is my honor.
Weinan thought internally,
Of course, this was just what she thought too much about.
For Rogel, it was merely a matter of trying a few times; even without her, he would find a way to get Demigod Embers and the Molten Core.
If he truly had only one life... whether they could collaborate would be uncertain.
[Sir Rogel, your noble character and courage are unparalleled, truly admirable, please allow Yudonarod Empire’s Reita to express the highest respect to you.]
At this time, the Yudona General beside Weinan also solemnly saluted Rogel, speaking seriously.
Seeing this, Rogel was somewhat surprised.
He didn’t know who this suddenly appearing guy was.
Judging by the strength, he seemed to be a Yudona at the Deputy Tier.
[This is my brother Pinolius’s trusted general, Reita of Yudonarod Imperial Army.]
Weinan spoke out, briefly introducing him to Rogel.
[I was sent by His Majesty to rescue Princess Weinan, yet I didn’t expect you had already completed the duty I was supposed to fulfill...]
[Allow me to express my gratitude.]
Reita saluted again, with a tone and manner filled with formal and serious noble etiquette.
Rogel understood upon hearing this.
It appears Weinan’s brother knew she was in danger and sent someone to help.
Though, he wasn’t sure why her brother sent just this one person.
He wondered for a moment and then didn’t think about it further, as it wasn’t of much concern to him.
[Well, no need to be so polite, Lady Weinan, let’s talk about the trade now.]
Rogel took out the Demigod Embers and said to her.
Seeing Rogel indeed had obtained the Demigod Embers, Weinan was somewhat shocked and in disbelief.
But soon, she controlled her excitement and nodded to Rogel, indicating her consent.
[Of course, you can.]
[If you think the terms aren’t enough, you can make further requests; it’s very reasonable.]
[Whatever I can offer, I will promptly give to you; if I can’t provide it right away, I can owe it first.]
Weinan said sincerely.
It was evident that this Demigod Ember was indeed very important to her.
[You may also freely choose from my possessions.]
Reita also spoke up.
[...]
Rogel was speechless upon hearing this.
Who said he was going to bargain more? Was he such an untrustworthy person?
[Hmm...]
[Since you’re both saying so... I hope to ask you a few more questions...]
Rogel said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
...
The trade with Weinan concluded satisfactorily.
However, they didn’t leave but led the Gelin towards the Yudona Sea together.
Honestly speaking, Rogel didn’t feel he lost out.
Though the Demigod Embers were surely valuable, what he needed more now was a way to the Sea of Confession and more Magic Potion Recipes.
The Sea of Confession, that’s where humans reside.
There’s no need to talk about how uncomfortable it is in the Exotic Race Territory.
Most importantly, Rogel couldn’t find knowledge or items related to Extraordinary, which was frustrating.
After all, Yudona didn’t need Magic Potions.
If it weren’t for that book Weinan happened to obtain by chance, Rogel wouldn’t have found a single clue.
Weinan could provide a route to the Sea of Confession.
Moreover, she could offer something special that would make the Gelin’s voyage easier.
If Rogel were to hold onto the second piece of Demigod Embers, he wouldn’t have obtained these.
But these are exactly what he needed right now.
So after consideration, Rogel decided to trade with Weinan.
The reason being nothing else, but his current needs.
"Hmm... Just finished drawing, this is roughly what it looks like, see what it means."
In Mira’s room, after finishing drawing something on paper, Rogel remembered something else and took an item out of the Item Inventory.
"And this, it’s engraved with many symbols."
After doing this, Rogel clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"..."
Seeing Mira not reacting, Rogel was somewhat puzzled.
Mira looked at the drawing, frowning with an expression that seemed like she wanted to say something but held back.
After hesitating for a long time, Mira made up her mind and looked up at Rogel: "Maybe next time you should just bring the tablet back, Captain..."
