As Suri spoke, he showed the map of the port: "This is it. The ultimate goal of those cultists is the lighthouse of Granfalo, the lighthouse known as the Eye of Iberia. To get there, you need the ship in the port."
'Do we need that ship too?' Skadi asked as she ran.
"Of course, but if you don't mind swimming directly from here to the reef where the Eye of Iberia is located, you can destroy that ship. However, considering that Kal'tsit and Eline can't move freely in the water like Agor, my advice is not to do it."
Skadi nodded: 'Of course I'm not going to call back that ship.'
Skadi believed that her destructiveness was not that intense.
However, after experiencing the battle where he could easily cut through everything with Su Rui's help, a feeling of being incredibly powerful involuntarily welled up in his heart.
Skadi has always maintained a sense of restraint. She knows her own strength, but she never doubts that there may be an even stronger opponent.
But with Suri around, she always felt that she could defeat any opponent.
With these thoughts in mind, I couldn't help but feel a little elated as we headed towards the port.
Skadi casually swung her sword and cut down the Deepsea Cultists blocking her way. At this moment, the most important thing was no longer to ensure their elimination, because with their numerical advantage, some of the Deepsea Cultists had already approached the ship.
'There are so many of them, why are there so many?' Skadi couldn't help but wonder. She had killed quite a few Deepsea Cultists by herself, and even in this town, there shouldn't be so many Deepsea Cultists hiding.
"After all, it is an organization that has been constantly hunted by the Inquisition but has managed to hide and infiltrate. Its combat capabilities may not be impressive, but its ability to conceal itself is certainly commendable."
Suri summarized, and while Ska was running, she also demonstrated the methods the Deep Sea Cultists used to hide:
"The Inquisition and the Punishing Army still view these Deepsea Cultists from a human perspective, but some of them have been transformed into the creatures of the ocean. To some extent, they do not need human survival conditions, so they have more diverse ways of hiding."
Deepsea cultists can actually thrive better in the sewers and in the wilderness where humans rarely venture.
Skadi nodded, and while chatting with Suri, she had already rushed to her destination, the port of Granfalo.
The Deep Sea Cultists had approached the ship, but they didn't seem to know much about navigation, so their movements were somewhat clumsy. Even after boarding the ship and operating it from the cockpit, they still didn't immediately start the ship and leave the port.
This gave Skadi an opportunity, so she quickly jumped onto the ship.
The Deep Sea Cultist, still on the deck, lost his balance due to the sudden tilt of the ship. Before he could even regain his footing, Skadi slashed him away with her sword and sent him flying into the sea.
"Just jump in through the window. Anyway, once the cockpit window breaks, it probably won't be able to be saved."
As Suri spoke, Skadi didn't think much and jumped into the cockpit from the bow. With the impact of swinging her greatsword, she took down one or two Deepsea Cultists who were operating the ship as she entered the cockpit.
It was only then that Skadi began to worry: 'Won't this affect piloting the ship?'
"I will drive this ship. It will be operated electronically and remotely, so there will be no need for anyone to be in the cockpit. The ship is quite electronic."
Volume 6, Chapter 367: Journey to the Eye of Iberia
Having swiftly eliminated the target on the ship, Skadi took control of the vessel in the port.
Suri also forwarded the message to the others: "Skadi is in charge of guarding this ship. After you eliminate the Abyssal Cultists who are still causing trouble, hurry over here. You're in charge of coordinating things in Granfalo, so you shouldn't need to help, right?"
Alini provided her answer in the communication channel established by Suri:
“I will continue to follow you. After we deal with these troublesome Deepsea Cultists, we can set off... The teacher will be back soon to take over the affairs of Granfalo.”
"Hmm, by the way, I've marked all the Deepsea Cultists in Granfalo. Maybe you can tell your teacher that the other townspeople were just affected and don't need any investigation."
Elena was taken aback, not expecting Suri to say that, but she knew the court's actions were somewhat too cold-blooded, so she nodded: "I will leave the message with the teacher, but I cannot give any guarantees."
"Okay, I understand."
After Su Rui finished speaking, he continued to maintain communication but turned off his microphone.
Skadi leaned against the cockpit door, her greatsword in hand, watching the black ocean churn with boredom.
"Skadi? Would you like something to eat? Are you hungry?"
Skadi paused for a moment, then nodded: "I want to eat." After such strenuous exercise, she was bound to feel hungry.
After Skadi nodded, the food that Suri had prepared appeared in her hand:
"How is it? It's still warm, isn't that convenient? In my system space, time doesn't flow at all. It looks exactly the same when you put it in as when you take it out."
“Impressive.” Skadi nodded, took a bite of her still-steaming hamburger, and then thought for a moment: 'If that's the case, then there's no way to make foods that require fermentation time, like seaweed wine.'
Even while eating, with her mouth full of food, Skadi couldn't help but ask this question, showing that her craving for food and alcohol was not much different from Suri's.
"...Why would I make it? I just need to store a little bit at the right time. If I want to drink, I can find an opportunity to store some, and take it out when I need it. That's definitely more convenient than having to figure out how to make it every time I want to drink, right?"
Skadi nodded, then shook her head: 'But homemade liquor definitely tastes different.'
"Okay~ I understand. I can try it if I have the chance, but let me make it clear first, there is definitely no time flow in my system space, so I can't help you save the unfinished seaweed wine."
Skadi nodded: 'It's alright, I'll figure something out.'
While Skadi seemed to be all about killing without thinking during fights, she's now starting to think.
Even eating couldn't stop Skadi from racking her brains; she was thinking about how to make seaweed wine that didn't require fermentation.
Skadi even considered asking Greta or Laurentina for help, but this idea was immediately rejected by Skadi herself as soon as Suri noticed it.
The second captain is a serious person and will definitely disagree with this. As for Laurentina... Skadi thinks she probably won't have any good ideas.
Skadi was still pondering how to make seaweed wine when Suri reminded her, "Kal'tsit and the others will be here soon. It's not a big deal, but I think it's better not to get caught while you're sneaking a bite. Let's eat together later!"
Skadi nodded, ate the last bit of food, and then wiped her lips.
Only then did Skadi produce a tissue in her hand: "By the way, there are trash cans here too, but you'll need to leave the cockpit for a moment."
Skadi nodded, and after disposing of the trash as instructed by Suri, she returned to the bow of the ship to wait for her companions.
At this time, Greta returned with Laurentina, while Kal'tsit and Eline arrived a little later.
"Is there anything else we need to do next?"
Gladys looked at Skadi. Although she already had a plan, it wouldn't hurt to ask Suri, since Suri's abilities were indeed very reliable.
"Next, of course, we'll head straight to the lighthouse of the Eye of Iberia, where a Don Quixote awaits you."
Skadi paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Suri said we can set off directly to find the reef where Iberia is located, but I've never heard of the name Don Quixote before."
Gladys also turned her gaze towards the person Suri had mentioned. Could it be someone of importance?
This time, Suri communicated with them directly using the ship's speakers:
"He's a knight from Kazimierz who's a bit mentally unstable. Anyway, we just need to figure out how to persuade him to move aside. I just think he sees the tower as an enemy that needs to be defeated, which is similar to a story I heard before."
Goredia nodded and didn't ask any more questions. If it was just someone blocking the way, then it wouldn't be a big problem. With the strength of a deep-sea hunter, if all else fails, they can simply defeat the person and then climb onto the lighthouse.
Laurentina, on the other hand, showed interest in the look of interest.
“Really? Tell us about your methods, and the knights charging into the tower. I’m very interested in these stories.”
“Alright, if you have nothing else to do, then I’ll start the ship now. We can tell stories as we travel.”
Suri glanced around and, finding no one objecting to his arrangements, started the ship's engines.
As the ship left the port, turned, and headed towards its destination, Suri began to recount the story she had found:
"Let me tell you the story of this knight. It all started many years ago..."
As Suri began to tell the story, even Greta, who had initially shown little interest, couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
After all, they had nothing else to do on the ship, so their attention was naturally drawn to interesting things. Suri even played some soothing music using her electronic device skills, which helped the listeners relax as she narrated.
Suri noticed that Aline seemed to be getting sleepy, but the girl forced her eyelids open as if she didn't want to miss the chance to hear a story.
Volume 6, Chapter 368: Above the Lighthouse
The ship wasn't fast; it certainly couldn't compare to Goredia's speed in the water.
Even so, after Suri finished telling the story, looking out the cockpit window, the lighthouse, the Eye of Iberia, could already be seen faintly through the fog.
Greta glanced at the tower not far away, and while everyone was still engrossed in Suri's story, she asked softly:
"So, how do you plan to persuade that knight?"
"It's very simple. Just prove that this lighthouse is not some monster, but a guiding light for humanity."
As Su Rui spoke, the voice coming from the speakers sounded somewhat unhappy:
"However, despite being a technological product, this lighthouse is entirely a mechanical structure with no electronic components whatsoever, so I have no way to start it directly."
"So, someone needs to climb the lighthouse to activate it, right?"
Greta glanced at Skadi, then shook her head: "Who would be better off going?"
"Of course it's Skadi. With my guidance, there won't be any problems. Besides, Skadi herself has relevant knowledge, right? At least she must have a lot of mechanical knowledge about electrical engineering."
Suri's words resonated with Skadi, while Greta was somewhat worried, though the worry was fleeting and quickly disappeared from her eyes.
Skadi's weight shouldn't be a problem. Since Suri said so, then this lighthouse should be able to support Skadi's weight.
As the ship continued forward, the towering structure of the Eye of Iberia became increasingly clear from the fog.
Skadi looked up at the tower before her, somewhat puzzled. Suri turned off the scanning vision: 'Why did you turn off the scanning vision? Don't we need to be wary of those hiding enemies?'
“I’ve already checked, there’s no danger nearby, and don’t you think it’s quite impressive how a tall tower slowly emerges from the mist?”
Skadi nodded as if she understood, but didn't say anything more.
The wait wasn't long, as the tower had already appeared, and soon the reef where the Eye of Iberia was located came into view.
After climbing the reef, you'll soon encounter a knight standing before the tower, intent on destroying the Eye of Iberia.
"Alright, forget about him, let's just rush up and turn on the lighthouse, and the problem will be solved."
As Suri spoke, she marked the route in front of Skadi: "There's no way to reason with a guy who's so stubborn. He thinks one plus one equals three, and you can't actually spend time trying to prove that one plus one doesn't equal three."
Skadi nodded, and while Greta and the others adopted defensive and negotiating stances, she bypassed the knight in front of her from the direction marked by Suri.
Although the fog in the sea made Skadi's figure, who had taken a roundabout route, appear indistinct and difficult to spot, that knight was no ordinary person.
Fortunately, thanks to Suri's intelligence network, the Knight was unable to get close to Skadi, who was approaching the lighthouse. Meanwhile, Kal'tsit had already blocked the Knight with Mon3tr. All that was needed was to confront him for a while until Skadi opened the lighthouse, and then there would be no problem.
After opening the iron gate at the base of the tower and climbing the stairs, Skadi quickly reached the top. Looking at the instruments of the Iberian Lighthouse with a somewhat bewildered expression, she asked Suri:
How do I operate this lighthouse?
"Don't you know? I thought Iberia's communication technology was similar to Agor's."
“It does look pretty much the same,” Skadi nodded. “But I really don’t understand how the lighthouse operates.”
"Hmm, I was too presumptuous. Just follow the instructions I marked for you."
As Suri spoke, she began marking the operational steps in front of Skadi's eyes, while simultaneously using her scanning vision's communication capabilities to alert Kal'tsit and the others below the Eye of Iberia:
"Hai Si is also nearby. Our attempt to spread the news about the lighthouse will definitely attract a lot of Hai Si. In fact, you are already surrounded. I have already sent you the detailed map. Let that knight lead the charge. This will make your operation easier."
After receiving the news, Kal'tsit and the others reacted quickly, while Skadi saw the combat footage of Kal'tsit and the others shown by Suri in the corner of her field of vision.
Having learned the operating sequence, Skadi, who had experience in mechanical operations, acted very quickly this time. In no time, she turned on all the systems that needed to be turned on, ignited the lamps, operated the systems, and then lit them.
As Skadi manipulated it, the Eye of Iberia quickly began to glow, emitting a light that could travel far across the dark ocean, guiding lost ships.
Unfortunately, there is probably only one ship on the ocean that can respond to the lighthouse's glow now, but the good news is that the ship is very large.
“Those Sea Hells are about to storm in, Skadi, be prepared.”
'I see.'
After quickly finishing the operation of the lighthouse and checking it to make sure there were no problems, Skadi grabbed the greatsword that was lying beside her.
The sea monsters below were attacking from all directions. Although Greta and the others were exceptionally strong, they were still overwhelmed by the tidal wave of sea monsters that came after they noticed them.
However, Skadi wasn't under much pressure, since the Sea Creatures that rushed up along the lighthouse weren't a threat in terms of numbers or size.
With each heavy thud of footsteps on the stairs, Skadi's mind was once again filled with the music Suri was playing.
Without needing to communicate verbally, Skadi's breathing quickened, her heart raced, and as she saw Hai Si about to appear in front of her in her scanned field of vision, she swung her sword.
Before Hai Si could even figure out what was happening or see the enemy, he was cleaved in two by Skadi's greatsword.
Skadi then had to slow down, since the Sea Kings behind her were already charging up, and it would be easy to get injured if she rushed past them.
Fortunately, with Suri's scanning vision, Skadi's battle was flawless, and there was no possibility of making a mistake.
Thus, although her speed slowed down, Skadi's every step was firm and steady, and the relentless attacks from Haisi had no effect on her.
Moreover, after realizing the problem, the knights below began to side with Kal'tsit and the others, and launched a charge towards Hai Si. Kal'tsit and Gladys, who did not need to multitask, also found an opportunity to come to the bottom of the lighthouse and block Hai Si's charge into the lighthouse.
