My system comes with a chat group?

"It seems that there is really a problem with the maze. Fortunately, I have gained something this time." Yakumo sighed. At least some of the things he collected were in his backpack. If he could find a way to put them together, he should be able to get enough for the boat ticket.

"The Elf Troops are coming!" Someone suddenly shouted. The Elf Troops, if I remember correctly, might be the Canary Troops? Usually when the maze exceeds a certain level of danger, they will appear to investigate and suppress the maze.

Most of these elves have excellent magical abilities and have received very strict training in dealing with mazes. Once a maze is in a state where it is likely to get out of control, they will appear to deal with it.

But Yakumo didn't know how many Canary Teams there were, because he didn't recognize anyone in this team. So it could only be other teams. And the appearance of the Canary Team meant that the maze here was indeed on the verge of being out of control.

"It seems that when we entered the maze, the maze was already at Lv3, close to Lv4, meow." Yakumo judged based on the situation of the people who came, that this maze was basically approaching its end.

The Lv3 maze level means that as the adventurers explore the maze further, the treasures in the shallow layers are gradually exhausted, and the adventurers move closer to deeper layers.

The Lv4 maze level is when the inside of the maze changes, valuable things appear again in the shallow layers, and powerful monsters begin to increase. Generally speaking, it is best to suppress the maze and control it at this point in time.

When Yakumo and his companions arrived at the maze, there were not many treasures in the shallow layers. They spent a lot of time on the first two layers but did not get many valuable things. If it were not for the treasure that was hidden by someone, they would have basically gained nothing.

When entering the third level, the monsters started to become more difficult, and the valuable items seemed to increase again. It was obviously entering the Lv4 stage. No wonder the Canary Force intervened at this time.

If the monsters are not suppressed at this time, the maze will eventually enter the Lv5 stage, and monsters will surge up in large areas and start to step out of the maze and onto the ground. If the monsters are not suppressed successfully, they will move freely on the ground.

In the comics and animation, the maze that Laos entered and finally entered the Lv5 stage is like this.

Once Oss completes the counterattack, the demon will also break free from the constraints of the maze and stand on the ground.

"It seems that we can't explore this maze again, meow." Yakumo said regretfully: "The Canary Force can probably successfully suppress the maze at this stage. After that, we just need to seal off the maze."

"Won't someone ignore the advice and continue to drill in?" Funina asked curiously.

"The Canary Squad are all powerful magic users. If they really don't listen to advice, this team will show no mercy when they attack." Yakumo pulled Finina aside.

"In the process of suppressing the maze, the Canary Squad will not care who you are. If you hinder the operation, they will be arrested directly at the very least, or killed on the spot at the worst. They don't even need to explain."

"Eh?" Funina was shocked: "Isn't this too overbearing?"

"We can't help it. The maze is not a good thing. If the maze suppression fails due to the adventurers' disruption, the casualties will not only be a few teams of adventurers, but also many civilians in the city above."

Yakumo shrugged. "So, meow, it's best not to stir up trouble at a time like this. But... we've only been here for a few days, how come we've suddenly reached this stage, meow!"

Yakumo held his head, looking devastated. It seemed that he hadn't saved enough money yet, and he wanted to go to the small island in the main storyline to see what was going on.

"No, let's just accept an escort commission and take a boat over there." Shu comforted him, "There are times when the sea is unsafe, right? If we are strong enough, maybe we can even earn some money for the journey?"

"Alas, now I can only go and see if there are any such commissions." Yakumo took out several commissions in his hand. After entering the third floor, he also received many commissions related to the third floor, but now all of them are useless.

"Let me see... these two about goblins can still be used, but the rest are completely useless, meow..."

Chapter 42: Go to the plot location

The island where the plot takes place belongs to the Eastern Continent. If Yakumo and his companions want to get there, they have to cross almost the entire ocean. That is why Yakumo must find a ship to get there.

Because the distance is so far, I really don’t know how long it will take to walk or how much effort it will take to find the specific location with just a map. And because it is so far away, the ferry ticket is not cheap at all.

"But fortunately, the ocean is not peaceful now, and there are pirates." Yakumo smiled. Each continent has its own specialties, and sometimes merchant ships travel back and forth for trade.

These merchant ships are either public or private. Public merchant ships naturally have escort fleets, and ordinary pirates dare not rob them. But private merchant ships are completely different. Most of these merchant ships only have their own private soldiers.

At most, there were only two or three cannons on the front and back of the merchant ships, and some even had no cannons at all. But fortunately, this world had magical abilities such as magic, and the old cannons were not very decisive.

Moreover, many pirates do not have cannons, but instead have two or three magicians. In this case, most naval battles are boarding battles, and the importance of escort is very high. If the boarding battle can be won, the safety of the merchant ship can basically be guaranteed.

But another problem arises. Private fleets all choose mercenaries and have long-term partners. It is not so easy for Yakumo's team to rashly cut in line.

But... there is always a chance for things to turn around. It was not in vain that Yakumo had been wandering around the seaside for the past few days, as a private boat actually ran into trouble.

Coincidentally, these mercenaries can also be considered adventurers. When there is a mission, they follow the fleet, and when there is no mission, they go to the maze to make some extra money.

And no one will really die in the maze, so it is the best place to keep up the feeling of daily slashing. And then this time I capsized.

This mercenary went down a little deep into the maze, and when problems arose he didn't come out. By the time he was rescued, he was basically skin and bones.

Oh, I must explain here that resurrecting in the maze is not completely free of energy. Resurrecting in the maze requires muscle and fat as energy, so if you are very thin, resurrecting is likely to cause serious oppression.

Of course, the mercenaries in this state could not continue to protect the mission. The captain was also worried about what to do recently. He couldn't let the goods rot in the dock, right? Most of the other mercenaries also had partners.

As for those who were traveling alone, almost all of them refused to go so far. The time it would take was measured in months, and the journey on the sea was very difficult.

This is not a modern sea voyage. In the Middle Ages, the sea voyage was not only not comfortable, but the ship owner would also deliberately compress other things on the ship in order to carry more cargo, and space was also saved again and again.

In short, having a place to sleep is good enough.

Although Yakumo's appearance solved his urgent problem, the captain still had doubts about the strength of Yakumo's team. Then, after experiencing Shu defeating a mercenary team alone, the captain no longer had any doubts.

"Ah... Such a narrow cabin..." After boarding the ship, Funina's expression changed. This environment was really too bad. Funina was not against the environment of camping outdoors, but on this ship...

There was already a strong smell of seafood before the boat set sail.

"Looks like I need to clean up." Yakumo looked at the environment. In fact, this was the best environment the ship could offer. The captain obviously knew that the performance needed a good rest environment to ensure his combat effectiveness.

"I'll prepare some things these days and tidy up here later. After we get off the ship, we can put those things away." In Monster Hunter World, the player's nest is initially inside the cabin.

Yakumo is good at this, so he doesn't worry about not being able to organize it well.

The mercenaries also boarded the ship at the same time. However, their condition was much worse. When they reached their destination, they should continue to rest for a while, and after they recovered, they would ensure the captain's safety on his return journey.

It also avoids having to find mercenaries again when returning.

After another week of repairs, the ship set out. This ship was not actually small, and a small ship would not make money on such a trip, but would even lose money. Of course, the best thing is for caravans to team up with each other, and each person brings different goods.

The first few days were calm, and it was impossible for pirates to appear soon after leaving the port. Most of the pirates that popped up now had been cleared out.

Only after sailing for seven or eight days, and being far away from the mainland, would roaming pirates appear to cause trouble.

There are many islands of different sizes scattered on the sea, and it is impossible to count which islands have people on them. So on the ninth day, the merchant ship encountered pirates.

I have to say that the equipment of these pirates is a bit too mixed. Although there are one or two magicians, their levels are really not high, and many spells can be easily defeated even by Eriri.

In addition, this was the sea, which was a perfect place for Funina to perform. Just the ability to control the water was enough to give the pirates on the other side a hard time.

Anyone who has been on the sea for many years would be so frightened by the backflow of seawater that they would be unable to move. Funina still held back and did not let the seawater smash the boat directly.

So this pirate crisis was over before it even began.

The captain rubbed his hands excitedly. This was a big profit! The money he paid to hire such a powerful team of adventurers was definitely the best deal he had ever made!

Sure enough, in this kind of world, strength is always the best business card.

Yakumo looked at the pirate ship that was anchored there and gave up the idea of ​​going up to search. These pirates didn't look like they had much money, but don't be fooled by the pirates in various movies and TV shows.

Especially One Piece, how can normal pirates have so much money, not to mention where are their channels for selling stolen goods?

Unless they are official "pirates" or there is a certain environment, the pirates' looting targets are first various daily necessities and swords and weapons, and secondly various precious treasures.

"We've encountered pirates several times along the way, right? Could it be that these pirates know that something happened to the mercenaries you cooperated with, meow?" Yakumo looked at the captain strangely. The frequency of the attacks was totally abnormal.

"No way..." The captain actually had his own doubts. Could it be that his opponent leaked it?

Chapter 43 Seasickness

"I feel like I'm about to vomit..." Hiiragi Mutina lay on the side of the boat, her face looking like she was about to die. For someone like her who had never been away from home for a long time, drifting for several days was really a torment.

If it was just an ordinary long journey, it would be fine, but the problem is that the current ship can't be completely flat, there is always some shaking. Therefore, Hiiragi Wutina, who has never been on a long journey, can't stand it.

In the past few days, Hiiragi Tina began to feel seasick, and today she finally couldn't help it. She couldn't stand the shaking on the boat. She couldn't eat anything today, and she felt nauseous when she smelled that smell.

"How about you go back first, Commander, and come back after we arrive?" Yakumo suggested. Otherwise, there is still a long time to go, and Hiiragi Mutina might be too uncomfortable.

"Big brother, everyone is still here. I can't run away alone... Ugh." Hiiragi Wutina wanted to say something nice, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt nauseous and immediately closed her mouth.

"Why is it that Fernina has no problem at all..." Hiiragi Wutina wanted to cry but had no tears. She looked at Fernina and found it incredible. Fernina looked more spoiled than her, right? But how come Fernina didn't feel anything at all?

"Eh? Are you asking me?" Furniture saw the look in Hiiragi Wutina's eyes. Although Hiiragi Wutina didn't say it out loud, it was not difficult to understand: "I am the water god of Fontaine, and I often take a boat."

The water surface you see in the game is calm, even in the real sea, there are no waves on the shore. But in fact, in the animation, whether it is the sea surface or the water surface, there are waves.

Especially in an area like Fontaine where the water occupies most of the area, is it true that there are no waves on the water? At least from what Yakumo saw in the past, it was not the case.

Fu Nina didn't just stay in Mo Mang Palace every day. She also went out and took a boat ride. In addition, as the incarnation of Fukaros's humanity, she was somewhat water-friendly, so she felt more comfortable in this environment.

"So I rarely get seasick." Funina was not bragging, but it was really like that for her. It was a natural talent that others couldn't learn.

"That's great, I also want such a talent..."

He opened his mouth and almost vomited again.

"No, Commander, just keep floating." Yakumo came up with an idea. The reason for seasickness is mostly because the body can't stand the bumps, and the bumps cause the food in the stomach to churn.

If you really can't stand it, the best way is to avoid the bumps and just float along. Many magicians seem to have this skill, such as Patchouli, who likes to float around.

"Eh? How do we do this?" Hiiragi Matina looked at Yakumo with her eyes open, as if she had seen a savior.

"Well... let me demonstrate, meow. But it's still quite difficult to do this, meow." Yakumo used his ability once more, and his whole body floated up from the ground, but his position relative to the ship remained unchanged.

But no matter how much the boat shook, Yakumo did not sway up and down and remained calm and composed.

"Oh! This seems to be amazing!" Eriri's eyes lit up: "Teach me, teach me, I want to learn this too!"

"In fact, it's not difficult to simply float and move. It's just a disguised use of flying magic. The difficult part is to make sure your speed is consistent with that of the ship, otherwise you will fall behind or even get ahead."

"It feels... like it's a bit difficult..." A drop of cold sweat dripped from Hiiragi Matina's head. It looked like an easy operation, and she could do it easily on land. But as Yakumo said, they were now moving.

"You can try normal movement first. After you get used to it, you can use the cabin as a reference. Commander, you should have learned about reference objects in physics in class, right?" Yakumo asked.

Yakumo learned the concept of reference objects in junior high school, so he said it directly. After he finished speaking, he remembered that he forgot to ask Hiiragi Mutina, who was still in junior high school, whether she had the concept of reference coordinates.

"Ah, this..." Hiiragi Mutina smacked her lips. Exams were painful for her, so why did she still have to use the knowledge from textbooks after becoming a "magical girl"?

"Haha, it seems that the commander-in-chief has some unspeakable secrets." Yakumo said teasingly. It seems that Hiiragi Matina still needs to improve in this aspect: "What about you, Eriri? I remember that your grades are pretty good, right?"

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha are considered to be the celebrities in the school. Both of them have top grades. For Eriri, the reference system is not a big problem.

"Ah? It's okay, it seems to be really useful, but the magic power is consumed too quickly." After Eriri established the coordinate system, she quickly succeeded in floating forward with the boat.

However, flying magic does consume a lot of magic power. Eriri judged that if she did this every day, she would run out of magic power before she could reach the shore.

"How do those magicians manage to float all the time?" Eriri found it incredible.

"The key is to restore mana." Yakumo spread his hands and said, "As long as the mana recovery can catch up with or exceed the mana consumption, there is no need to worry about running out of mana due to these operations."

"What about you?" Ying Lili asked back unconvinced.

"Me? I have unlimited magic power, and using magic doesn't consume any mana." Yakumo's casual words hit Eriri hard. How could she feel her own progress when she was with such a jerk?

No matter how hard I tried, when I looked up, this guy was still dangling over my head.

"In fact, your current mana reserve is not bad, Eriri. The problem is that the speed of mana recovery is not fast enough, and it's even a bit slow. Fufu is just the opposite of you in this respect. Fufu's mana recovery speed is quite good."

"Then how can I increase the speed of magic recovery?" Eriri was also very troubled by this matter. She was now like a battery, not a generator.

Every time the battery runs out, I have to spend a lot of time charging it, or plug in a fast charger (or take medicine) to restore it.

"Some intelligence." Yakumo's words made Eriri curl the corners of her mouth.

"I'm not making a veiled comment. The intelligence attribute in the game can indeed be linked to magic power and the like. Of course, it's a pity that my first apprentice in the system hasn't even graduated yet, otherwise I could just let you become a magician and that would be it."

"Okay, I'll believe it for now..." Ying Lili took a deep breath and reminded herself not to be angry.

"Then we need to determine how your magic power recovers, and see if we can improve it through similar training methods. Generally speaking, the recovery of this special energy is closely related to physical fitness, so Eriri, you need to get stronger."

Chapter 44: Arrival

Along the way, the merchant ship encountered two more pirate attacks, but each time they were successfully repelled. After that, no more pirates came. It is estimated that the pirates in this sea area have already known about the situation of this merchant ship.

There were always some unknown ways of passing information between pirates. Although these pirates sometimes competed with each other, they generally kept an eye on each other and would share information unless someone wanted to eliminate a rival.

Knowing that there were people on the ship who they could not afford to offend, the pirates naturally tried to hide as far away as possible. Everything went smoothly afterwards, and they actually arrived at their destination two days earlier than expected.

However, the destination they arrived at was the Eastern Continent, not the island, so Yakumo and the others had to travel for a few more days. Fortunately, they came here by hiring a hired person, and they received a lot of compensation after getting off the ship.

Counting what they had obtained in the maze, the travel expenses were enough. However, Hiiragi Matina's seasickness had not yet subsided, so the group had to

Rest here for two days and let Tina relax at noon.

"It's a pity that we didn't find better weapons. They are just very ordinary iron swords and the like." Yakumo purchased a large batch of ingredients from the vegetable market and complained to Shu at the same time.

"Iron is the most easily obtained mineral, Yakumo-chan. Not all blacksmiths are as good as Nian, who can use materials from monsters to make stronger equipment. Even the protective gear that I have seen is mainly made of iron armor."

"It's a pity that the maze is gone. Otherwise, I could have gotten some materials for Nian." Yakumo was a little disappointed. Nian's forging ability was very good, but he didn't do anything most of the time.

But with special materials it's completely different.

"Sister Shu, how are things arranged over there? Can Dayan be at ease when you are not in Dahuang City from time to time?" Yakumo was still very worried about the falling out between Shu and Dayan at this stage.

"Don't worry, I've taken a long vacation this time and have also reported it. The Tianshi Mansion actually knows about the suppression of the evil demons under the Great Wilderness City. So when I said I would find a way to deal with the evil demons, they agreed."
