Worn And Torn Newbie chapter 632
Driller under the sea (4)

the lower sea. the sea under the sea.

Ahab looks down into the deep drilling hole with bloodshot eyes.

[The bottom of the sea floor. Do you know what will come out if you go down a long way even after breaking through the source rock?]

The worldview of Deus Ex Machina is based on the flat earth theory.

A continent towering above the great sea. And there is a solid ground beneath the sea.

But what if you dig deeper?

What could be in the abyss, deeper than the deep sea?

Ahab has a cloudy and unstable smile like floating water in the deep sea.

was building

[The ground beneath the sea is covered with mud and sand. It's like a desert. And if you go down through it, there is a very hard layer of ice.]

That's really hard to believe. Is there ice at the bottom of the desert in this hot sea infested with active volcanoes?

But Ahab's words that followed were even more surprising.

[Under that ice layer, there is an 'another sea' that is different from the sea that ordinary people know.]

Then, Dahee Yu asked with her eyes wide open.

"Really? Are you saying that there is another sea under the real sea?"

[Of course. Another sea isolated below the sea floor, it is a completely independent space that has been isolated for hundreds of millions of years. It forms a completely different, independent ecosystem from the sea above.]

" Is the source of the oil there? Are you sure?"

When Dahee Yoo asked again, Ahab smiled.

[market. Trust me. Because I've already been to 'Hahae' once before.]

Ahab gently rolled up the hem of his pants under his wetsuit.

A prosthetic leg made of whale bone with its sharp tip shining

see.

[Heh heh, this was a 'toll fee'. That's how cheap I was. For the fact that I met him."

Ahab's eyes gleamed with madness.

Ishmael and Quiqueg, who were next to them, only looked at Ahab with anxious eyes.

[Hahae, I don't want to meet that guy again... But I have no choice but to find fragrant oil.]

[To take revenge on the beast That's crazy. But Captain Ahab is also a wounded beast."

Then, Dahee Yoo, who was quietly listening to the conversation, slowly rolled her eyes and looked at me.

" hey pervert. I got a little scared. Is there something down here?"

It wasn't much of a secret, so I just gladly answered.

"There is a being called the King of Hahae. Do you have to meet to get fragrant oil?"

" King of Hahae? What is that? A mob stronger than Kraken?"

Dahee Yoo asks with half confidence and half anxiety.

It was a question that didn't need an answer, as you'll find out if you just sit still.

Meanwhile, I think alone

was doing

' He is the king of Hahae.'

The king of Shanghai was the Changhae Dragon, Bermuda.

So it's obvious who the king of Hahae is.

'The question is how much dust is on the way to the lower sea, and how is the structure and ecosystem in the lower sea formed and eaten?

then.

As I was contemplating, Ahab's eyes lit up.

[Hey. Those earrings are cool.]

" Oh, this?"

I fiddled with my ears.

Earrings made of Kraken's eggshell are shining in my ears.

Ahab chuckled.

[I have heard the legend about the large octopus that inhabits Shanghai. direct

Even though I have never seen it.]

okay? How does it compare to the king of Hahae?"

[I dare not compare. Compared to him, an octopus is just a fluke of prey, right?]

That is somewhat correct.

But Ahab is probably saying something like this, since he didn't see the Kraken changed to Cthulhu mode.

The Kraken transformed into Cthulhu mode.

The magnificence was truly great.

Because it was enough to bind that terrifying Changhae Dragon, Bermuda, so that it could not move even for a moment.

On the other hand, Dahee Yu was shocked to learn that there were monsters stronger than Kraken in the sea.

This is because he had experience in a bad battle against the Kraken in the past.

"Oh, no. There was no saying that such a monster was guarding the oil! You deceiver camel!"

[Twitter, Mayor. tell me to calm down Even if you are prepared for all the dangers, you must obtain the 'fragrant oil'. It's a treasure worthy of that.]

At the word treasure , Dahee Yu seems to be calming down a bit.

Pretending not to win, she buried her head between her shoulders and asked softly.

"Hmmm. big hum. Yeah, what the hell is this oil?"

Yoo Da-hee picks up the little scrap of oil that she had just obtained from a small hole.

Glittering white oil in a transparent glass bottle.

-  Oil of the Lower Sea / Ingredients/ A+

Those who come down to this place to dig for oil are all driven to the abyss with deep regrets.

If I could turn my life back... Will they ever come down here again to dig up oil?

- Ability to use 'Short Horseback'

What kind of effect does this have, so why do the Madoros here want to get it so much?

It seemed that Ahab's frenzied obsession with this oil wasn't just because it was more expensive than the same weight of gold.

[Heh heh heh, when you apply this mysterious oil to your body, all the wrinkles are gone.

support. Literally getting younger. It's like turning back time. It's good for beauty and good for perfume... It must be very popular with girls, right?]

Upon hearing Ahab's words, Dahee Yu was terrified.

Soon she opened the vial and slapped a very small amount of oil on her face.

OK.

slurp...

The delicate wrinkles on Yoo Da-hee's face completely disappear.

Five? Is it real?"

Yu Da-hee was displeased, but soon realized that this cosmetic effect was only limited to game characters, and she lost her hair a little.

" ah, but it smells good anyway. It is also said that it is more expensive than gold of the same weight. Whoops."

The $ sign is half in her eyes.

pair up

Meanwhile, I was digging the ground next to Quyqueg.

The reticent Quikkeg is still good at answering questions.

[ ] You want to know the structure of Hahae?]

Hearing my words, Quyqueg raised his darkened eyes and looked at me.

After a bit of hesitation, he opened his mouth.

[I have never seen it myself. I just heard something from Captain Ahab.]

Knowing the structure of the map before battle is one of the basics of the basics.

I listened carefully without skipping the information that Quequeg gave me.

[The area of the lower sea is about 14,000 krf, the length is 230 km, and the width is 50 km. The maximum depth is estimated to be around 1,200 m. Atlandum's Royal Clock Tower is located 1,260 km to the southeast and is 4,000 m thick in ice.

It's lurking under the ha. The water in the lower sea is much more salinity than the water in Shanghai and the water temperature is much lower. It is a huge cavity formed when the lower part of the glacier melted hundreds of thousands of years ago by geothermal heat. presumed to be ]

I nodded.

'in short In Korea, the area is about the size of Gangwon-do.

And what lurks beneath it, no one knows except Ahab.'

A space that has been isolated from the outside for a long time due to the thick desert and ice layers

No one can know what kind of life forms and what kind of evolutionary system lived inside.

There is only one being who reigns as a king there.

Leviathan!

I am sinking down into this deep, deep sea to catch him.

"Good! I go all the way to this!"

After hearing about the fragrant oil, Dahee Yu gets excited and picks a pickaxe.

I also shoveled hard.

Eventually, as Ahab said, when the sand and mud layers were finished, the soft

A layer of limestone appeared.

And when it goes down for a while, a hard layer of ice is revealed.

Volcanoes are exploding in the sea above, and the ice below is frozen solidly and there is no movement.

Based on the worldview setting, it is a cryogenic sea that has never been awakened for hundreds of thousands of years.

then.

" What?"

I stopped shoveling.

Bubbling bubbling bubbling...

In the ice, when a hole opens in the space that has been confined so far, something springs up along the hole leading to the outside.

It is white oil. It was a fragrant oil.

"Oh my! Oil! not even a drop can be missed

No!"

Dahee Yu quickly locked the oil in a sack.

I wondered if that was the case, and then he coughed in vain and held out the bag to me.

Hmmm! hey this."

..?

"You found it."

I don't need anything like oil.

As soon as I accept the sack, Da-hee Yu continues to cough in vain and frowns.

"How am I? He is such a clear-cut person. When it comes to dispensing, it's quite a knife... This is the virtue of gamers and the essence of party play "

Unfortunately, there is no [SKIP] button on her horse.

I roughly handed the sack of oil to Ishmael and looked at the hole I had just drilled.

" hmmm. This.

something comes to mind

I widened the hole with a shovel.

The ice cracked with a popping sound, revealing an empty space inside.

,,OMG!?,,

It was seen that Dahee Yu was startled.

It caught my eye that it was buried in the ice cavity exposed below.

It was a skull in a wetsuit.

Ahab's eyes lit up with a gloomy light when he saw it belatedly.

[Former First Mate Starbuck's skull. Being here means we've come to the right place.]

On the way to find the treasure, the corpse is a milestone.

Ishmael and Quqwe were looking down at the former colleague, who now remained only a sign, with a complicated gaze.

then.

Dahee Yu found something.

uh? What is this?

What she saw was the skeleton of Starbuck's fingers.

Starbucks' index finger is at the bottom.

There was something carved into the ice floor.

Perhaps it was the words he left before he died.

I walked on the foam and lifted the lamp to illuminate the bottom of the ice cave.

There was a passage of poorly engraved text.

finit hie regnum Dei

[ ] God's realm ends here.]

Ishmael murmured in a low voice.

In an instant, an indescribable strange light settled in his eyes.

Desire, regret, greed, and fear.

What did he see in the skeleton of his old comrade?

I have no way of guessing, but... Whatever it was, it was clear that it wasn't very good.

[Whoa!]

Ishmael held the pickaxe high.

Then, he slammed down the ice where Starbuck's skull was located.

Moment.

I witnessed something unusual about where the tip of the pickaxe was pointing, where it would soon be pierced.

That?'

that's obviously what i know

It was.

A round sphere that looks like a small chunk of flesh.

It was definitely a monster.

It's a very dangerous kind of thing you shouldn't even touch.

Oh, no! What if I touch it!?"

I didn't even have time to dry.

The moment Ishmael's pickaxe pierced Starbuck's skull, the impact was also given to the monster inside.

passed on completely.

I quickly pushed Yoo Da-hee, who was next to me.

Ahh! What!?

Yoo Da-hee shouts in surprise.

I said hastily.

"Have you tried seafood soup?"

" uh? Of course.

There's the midge in it

Have you ever chewed it?

" What?

The moment when Dahee Yu frowned as if she was talking about something.

Whoops!

An explosion of great momentum erupted from the pit that Ishmael had been in just before.
