Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Yu Man spoke first: "'Otherside Arrival', I suggest you ask your slaves the first question: Is the ship safe?"

"...Is that ship safe?" He took the advice.

The rat-man, now a slave, immediately replied, "The necromancer who came to take us here intends to kill all the passengers and turn them into undead slaves."

"...He...didn't plan to fulfill our dream?"

"He only wants you to see the dawn."

The "one who arrived at the other shore" lowered his head, with a look of both relief and self-mockery on his face.

Yu Manzhe suggested, "The second question is to explain the island map provided to the rebels."

"Answer." The One Who Arrives at the Other Shore instructed.

The ratman immediately spoke up, "As a token of my gratitude, I'll give you a map showing the location of the island of Lumana Seti. There's actually something wrong with it. Lumana Seti is inhabited by a terrifying ice dragon. Anyone who approaches will instantly sink to death."

"...It's going to kill us anyway."

After hearing the answer, he looked bitter.

He turned to Yu Man and asked, "What else do I need to know?"

"We have no interest in ships. We are hostile to necromancers, but we have no conflict with you."

"The tree roots?"

Yu Man, however, had a perfectly legitimate reason: "We are friends with Shimlabakken, also known as Miss World Tree. This is hers, and I want to return it to her."

Mainly, Yu Man was a little worried that without this piece of tree root, Shimlabakken would be annoyed.

Then, it is no longer a simple room with snow view, but a thousand miles of ice.

By then, players won't be able to leave the sea without the ability to cross the sea physically...

The "Arrival from the Other Shore" was extremely surprised: "You actually know that the World Tree is a young girl... Is that true?"

Yu Man casually described the appearance of the World Tree, and then asked in return.

"You know that too?" This is a bit strange.

The soul figure of the World Tree is a secret of the highest level.

Players can meet them through first contact, but it is impossible to meet NPCs who grow up on the island, let alone know what they look like.

But the "one who reaches the other shore" knows...how does he know?

Yu Man's question hurt his heart.

"...I am not a thief. I did not steal the body of Mother Island. I... simply prayed and repented."

The face of the "One Who Arrived at the Other Shore" was heavy.

"We were born on this snow-covered land, yet we yearn day and night for the seasons, the sun, and the starry nights beyond the sea, wanting to abandon the land that gave birth to us... So, I go to repent."

Then--

The World Tree forgave him.

"So, the World Tree agreed to my confession."

"...She...took the initiative to give you this piece of tree root?" asked the deer in astonishment.

The One Who Arrived on the Other Shore nodded.

That is the travel expenses given by the hometown to those who want to embark on a long journey.

That is the ticket to the passing of the seasons, the sun, the stars, and the moon.

That is - understanding.

"I didn't want it to be tainted by greedy businessmen, and I also wanted to ensure that the dreams of my comrades could be realized, so I planted the seeds of parasitism."

"...You also plan to control the Necromancer."

"Yes." The "Arrival on the Other Shore" was sincere and boundless. "After all, I'm gone. Those comrades who set foot on the deck and head overseas need someone to guide them... They need to reach the new world safely."

"You're not here?"

His eyes were bright. "To make up for this tree root, I plan to donate my body and bury it in the Unfrozen Forest, giving back to my hometown with the nourishment of a sixth-level magician."

Don't you want to see the world beyond the island, beyond the ice and snow?

Yu Man wanted to ask this, but in the end, there was only understanding silence on her lips.

She looked at him, then at the tree root in her hand, then at the harbor.

“…I give you three choices.”

"Oh?"

"First, trust us strangers. We will soon be able to build a ship and open up a route. Then I will promise you a worry-free journey."

"Trust it?" "The One Who Arrived at the Other Shore" couldn't help but laugh.

That’s right—Yu Man smiled embarrassedly.

"Second, you fight the necromancer to the death, seize the ship, and control him... and we will stop here. We will return this tree root to Shimlabakken."

Then wait for them to finish fighting and pick up the leftovers - of course, Yu Man didn't say this.

The Otherside Arrival pondered for a moment. "You shouldn't have interfered with this deal in the first place... but you did tell me that the other party is completely untrustworthy, so I agree that you should stop and we won't interfere with each other."

"Third one, don't you want to listen?"

"It's nothing more than you wanting to help fight the Necromancer together and reap the benefits."

He sneered, his eyes full of disdain, but his tone was sincere: "Please help me, greedy stranger."

"……real?"

"Everyone who gathers in the Black Tower shares the same dream, a dream about to come true. I don't want anyone to perish before the dawn... Take whatever you want, and help! The Necromancer is truly terrifying."

Cooperation reached - Yu Man breathed a sigh of relief.

He corrected his path and returned to the track the deer had mentioned.

She wanted to show the deer this route because it was a strategy that the deer had come up with on his own.

Otherwise, she would have chosen other directions that were more efficient and profitable.

For example, acting in secret after taking the tree roots.

It doesn't matter whether necromancers and natural mages clash, or whose schemes are more powerful.

Because they all have the same goal, which is to get on the ship together and sail together.

Yu Man must have secretly done a lot of things to the boat, so that it would break apart while sailing and inevitably sink into the sea.

At that time, when she sits in the main city and counts her assets, a system prompt of 100,000 experience points will pop up above her head.

——This is the path Yu Man wants to take.

But since the little deer used his brain for the first time and spoke out the direction of the story for the first time.

——Then let it be so.

While preparing for battle, Yu Man asked Xiaolu for credit: "How was it? I broke it back for you."

"Eel, it suddenly occurred to me."

"...Brother, what's the sudden thought?"

Her eyes lit up. "Wouldn't it be more advantageous for us to do this quietly and let them fight it out so we can pick up the heads?"

Yu Man was silent, thinking, what's the solution? All he can do is betray and stab her.

But fortunately——

"However, that doesn't seem to be the path a traveler should take. It's a good thing you didn't choose it," she said with a smile.

……

ps

(I think, before 6 a.m. it’s all night, isn’t that common sense…)

059 Big tits

Magicians are always scary.

They are all horrible in their own way—but they are all horrible.

This is especially true of the Necromancer.

Now—he is here.

……

At first, there was a slight change in the wind.

Like rotten food appearing in a rice jar, a strange noise mixed with the sound of the wind.

But soon—Yu Man discovered that it was actually the sound of footsteps.

From the ghost ships on the coast, the dead set foot on the shore.

They died in all kinds of strange ways and moved in all kinds of different ways.

But it is extremely rigorous and follows the same rhythm.

Orders, the Necromancer's orders.

"They are coming." Yu Man said softly.

Every pair of eyes turned to the shore, where the army of the dead, surging like waves, was slowly advancing.

Every corpse has a soul thread that connects the soul of the body.

Their freshness varies, some are full of emotion, while others have long been exhausted.

But they cannot float anywhere and can only be imprisoned by their own corpses and become one of the necromancer's army.

"They actually abandoned their own home turf and came to fight in ours..." The one who muttered to himself in confusion was the "Arrival at the Other Shore".

"It proves that you are very confident." Yu Man responded in a still light voice.

The One Who Arrived at the Other Shore continued, "When I was learning magic, my teacher told me not to challenge a necromancer alone, nor in a group."

"That makes sense."

"So, I didn't learn how to deal with the Necromancer from my teacher... I just had to do it anyway."

Yu Man folded her hands, feeling that this guy was just pretending.

He had clearly broken through the fifth level and reached the sixth level.

He is also a terrifying natural magician, a profession that is extremely good at using poison, and his reputation is not much better than that of a necromancer.

Now the Necromancer had abandoned the Ghost Ship's home turf, gambled all his wealth, and went ashore for a desperate fight... Therefore, Yu Man didn't think she would lose. After all, this winter snow-covered shore was her absolute home turf.

"Just follow the plan and don't think too much." Yu Man comforted the "Arrival at the Other Shore".

"That--"

He raised his staff.

A seed was thrown into the sky, and magic power gathered.

It bloomed in the air—and then shattered, leaving only extremely bright, fluorescent-looking petals dancing in the wind.

That's the signal.

"Comrades, come—"

The Necromancer commands an army of the dead, but the "One Who Arrives from the Other Shore" is also the successor rebel leader.

On the verge of realizing everyone's dream, they all arrived.

Those so-called rebels are actually just a group of dreamers.

They want to go to sea.
