Chapter 271: Prison Island From Which There Is No Escape

Sauron searched for a long time in the panel before he found a red dot that was jumping like a ghost.

Here is an explanation. When Soran sees a corner of the script, he can open a large map of some areas and directly observe hidden things. That is, the red glowing origin is a special creature, the red thin circular area is a special maze or area, the blue mark is a side quest, and the question mark is a highly hidden and extremely dangerous quest location.

The exclamation mark is a hidden BOSS, which can also be called a creature that cannot be challenged.

This range is defined very widely.

From Emil to the Mirror Master, they can all be defined as unchallengeable types.

The jumping red dot he found is the island whale.

The challenge strength of this creature is lv200.

Soran has never seen such an exaggerated level. He vaguely feels that to fight against a creature of this strength is comparable to fighting against the whole world.

He gave the location mark to Li Nuo.

Then he enlarged the panel and saw that there were other things hidden in the island whale.

That is, the treasure chest.

Whenever a treasure chest appears, it means that there are a lot of "treasures" in that area.

Li Nuo strode to the cabin while listening to Soran's discovery.

The smell of meat wafting from the airship told him that the group of "pirates" should be eating.

He kicked open the door of the cafeteria.

The guys who were eating meat stopped what they were doing.

Two of them protected the food in their hands.

"You... did you come here by smell?"

"Let me tell you first, newcomers can only chew bone residue!"

Dolores was sitting in the main seat, chewing a big bone. Only she was not surprised to see Li Nuo.

The old guy squinted his eyes, bit off a piece of meat slowly, and chewed with his cheeks puffed.

Li Nuo came over, pushed one person away, picked up a piece of half-cooked meat steak, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and said:

"Do you want to go around the key room?"

"Didn't I tell you to rest well before talking?" Dolores threw a glass of water over.

Li Nuo took it, drank it in big gulps, and smashed the cup on the table.

"There is only one chance, the key is on the prison island."

Almost everyone's eyes were stunned, the sons looked at their mother, Dolores bit off another piece of meat, swallowed it, and asked: "Which prison island?"

"The prison island next to the coastline, close to the Atlantic Ocean."

"So, the little girl is on the prison island?"

"Yeah."

Dolores looked at him with a changed look.

"You didn't sell your girl?"

"Ah?"

"That's the most dangerous place in the Principality of Wales."

Li Nuo picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

"I thought you would at least not leave her alone in a too dangerous place..." Dolores raised the corner of her mouth, with indifference: "It turned out to be a kid who ran away with his tail between his legs."

"Yeah." Li Nuo responded without refutation.

Dolores knocked on the table hard, and the wine on the table splashed all over the floor.

"Did she tell you to take care of yourself first?"

"Yeah."

"What a good girl..." Dolores knocked on the table again: "You idiots, you should find women like this in the future!"

Robert, as the son with the clearest mind, complained for everyone: "Don't we want to find her..."

Li Nuo swallowed the meat and took half a bottle of inferior wine into his mouth.

"I want to find her now, so please borrow your airship."

"The prison island is heavily guarded, and the best warriors of the Principality of Wales are there. I can't take my sons to die..."

"The key of 'Ikaros', don't you want it?" Li Nuo asked.

The sons looked at Dolores.

"We are air pirates, and robbing things is our specialty. We must have the key, but we need a good way." Dolores supported the table with his thick arms, jumped onto the table with a snap, squatted in front of Li Nuo, and pressed his wrinkled face against Li Nuo.

"Boy, do you have a way?"

Li Nuo took the meat in Dolores' hand and put it into his mouth.

"Come with me to find the 'Island Whale'."

...

Seventeen hours later.

Prison Island.

A large floating prison located on the border of the Principality of Wales.

It is said that the prisoners imprisoned here are all death row prisoners who have committed treason or major economic crimes in the country.

This island floats in the air, driven by a huge blue floating stone, 600 meters above the ground, hidden in the clouds, and its north is the Atlantic horizon, and the prisoners cannot escape.

In addition, it is also a fortress on the north side of the principality. Thousands of elite soldiers are stationed here, and the magic-driven artillery covers the surrounding area of ​​more than two kilometers 24 hours a day.

The fortress is surrounded by snipers and mechanical firepower, and high-temperature artillery with extremely high steam concentration is hidden in the soil under the island.

A perfect iron wall, an unshakable castle.

And the person who runs this island perfectly like a program is called Llorente.

A spy of the Principality of Wales, a knight guarding the national border, and also an air force captain.

In a dark and narrow corridor.

An iron door opened.

Llorente entered from outside, followed by Brupu.

"I have to say, you guys have done a great job this time, Brupu."

Llorente walked in front. He had a handsome face and long blond hair tied around his head. He looked like a boy or girl and he didn't look very dangerous. He was even very easy-going. Anyone who knew him well knew that, This is a devil.

Brupp followed without saying a word.

If there was a slightly more ordinary officer in front of him, Brupp would definitely ask what kind of reward he could get.

He didn't dare to face Llorente.

The strongest warrior in the Principality of Wales and the best great magician, this is a genius who has won numerous first-place titles at the age of only 34.

Once there is a problem with Llorente's emotions, his subordinates will evaporate in an instant. Even Brupp does not dare to mess with this guy casually, so...choosing silence or echoing is the best way to communicate with Llorente Way.

Behind the door, there is a mechanical machine tool, with a large number of messy pipelines inserted behind it, and a robot lying tilted in the pipeline.

This robot is the little guy who came to this place with Chabai. As a male player in Brupp's team said, this guy is inextricably linked to "Icarus".

"This is the small robot you caught. I originally sent people to the battlefield in another part of the earth to search for such little guys. They have magic ripples on their bodies that can unlock the contents of the stone slab."

Llorente pushed up his sunglasses and looked up.

It was a prophecy slate. A certain great mage recorded the secret stories about Icarus on the slate. It is said that if you interpret them all, you can find Icarus.

A stone slab floats in mid-air, and the words carved on the stone slab float with blue light.

——"Longitude 64 degrees 52 minutes 54 seconds north, longitude 169 degrees 42 minutes 33 seconds west."

"What is this?" Brupp couldn't help but ask.

"The direction of Icarus." Llorente's voice was steady and calm: "Strictly speaking, it should be the range of Icarus, which is in the center of the sea on the north side."

Brupp: "..."

[Update of the main mission: Find the secret key and go to Icarus. Remember not to cooperate with the people in the "Endless Corridor", that will deviate from the original intention of the story]

"What's the matter, Brupp?"

Llorente turned his head and faced the worried Brupp. There was an unspeakable sense of oppression in his eyes covered by sunglasses.

"What's going on with this slate?" Brupp asked.

Llorente raised the corners of his mouth and said softly:

"There is a legend circulating in ancient times."

"Thousands of years ago, the goddess gave the wind to the world. Human beings have mastered the magic of the wind. The power of the wind has brought about a revolution in technology. War has brought about a leap in history. Gears, steam, and mining capabilities are all in the hands of humans. ”

"The excavation machines spread underground, and the floating stones flew into the sky with the islands. That technology is known as: Icarus."

"The great Icarus forged the crystallization of wisdom and led us to the sky, and all of this comes from the story of the first arrival of mankind tens of thousands of years ago."

"History rises and falls, and the cycle continues."

"The great Icarus finally fell, and we can only return to the ground and start a new round of evolution."

"When the historical node reaches a certain period of time, there will always be a key, there will always be some people who get the key, and there will always be a group of people who discover the secret of Icarus."

"What happened next, no one knows, but we do know... this key will lead us to the treasure of Icarus, the great city that has been sleeping, beckoning."

Brupp was silent, and what Llorente said was completely consistent with the systematically elaborated world description that the player saw when entering the script.

"Icarus, it hides the ancient super-technical civilization, everyone says so, but that is not what is more important."

Llorente picked up the mixing spoon stuck in the cup and twirled it between his fingertips.

"Whoever finds Icarus will become a god. This is the truth of that place."

"Where are you from..."

"It's just a legend." Llorente looked at the little robot in the pipe and said, "Can you believe it? This robot may be a creature created by our ancestors. It contains powerful magic power, but he doesn't know how to use it. Then The magic is poisonous and we can't break it down. I can't imagine what else Icarus is hiding, but Brupp, don't you want to see it?"

Brupp was silent for two seconds.

"Why, me?"

"Because you are not human in this world."

Brupp's eyes widened and a chill ran down his spine.

Llorente looked over and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, it's easy to tell. Humans are different, but the magic is the same. Your magic is messy and complicated, not as pure as ours."

"I still don't understand..." Brupp, as one of the acting presidents of the guild, looked as weak as a child in front of this aborigine.

"No one will care even if you disappear, right?" Llorente's tone was gentle, hiding endless coldness: "I don't believe in people in this world, because even if they die, there will be people who care about them. I like lifeless, careless monsters like you.”

Who is the monster... Brupp felt that a demon-like thing emerged from behind Llorente.

"Come with me to find Icarus, and I will give you everything you want."

The implication is that when I become a god, I will bless you.

Brupp had no choice, and he began to understand more and more why Dee was so opposed to joining the military.

It's not because of the military's power, but because there is Llorente. Strictly speaking, the military in this script is not that excessive, because all the malice is grafted onto Llorente.

Brump: "Then I'll go find the key next."

Llorente nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, you must find the key that you should have found for me."

"Llorente, I thought you were looking for Ikaros for war."

"War? Hahaha, hahahahaha..." Llorente laughed: "How boring, it's just a game of subtracting people as numbers, what's the point, this world has so many things, but it lacks the appearance of God, this is interesting."

"Do you know what God is?" Brump asked. He had seen the supreme will of destruction and rebirth, an irresistible existence.

"This is an interesting question." Llorente thought for a while and said: "God... Who knows what it is, maybe that God is me, you, or even a pig."

The head of the little robot in the pipe slightly twisted a few millimeters towards the window.

Llorente followed the robot's gaze and flicked out the stirring spoon in his hand.

The spoon was like a cannonball, causing the heavy wall bricks to collapse in an instant.

Llorente's eyes pierced through the smoke and dust.

However, nothing appeared.

"Is someone watching outside?" Brupu asked calmly.

"Maybe I'm too suspicious." Llorente turned around: "Anyway, I'll give you three days to find the key to Ikaros. Didn't you say that the prisoners knew the answer? Don't let me down, Brupu."

Brupu didn't say anything and turned and walked out of the room.

Behind the destroyed wall just now, a mechanical pig's hoof fell on the awning below.

The pig's hoof quickly crossed the grass, and above the scattered fortresses on the high ground, a large military airship stopped in the air.

In the airship, a soldier was observing the ground with a telescope and said in surprise: "Hey, I seem to see something like a pig's hoof flying."

Another soldier bumped into him by chance, and the telescope fell to the ground.

"Jack! Watch out!"

"Hmph, sorry."

Maerjie, wearing a camouflage mask, crushed the telescope with one foot.

"Hmph, so sorry."

Although he was beaten hard, his eyes stayed on the place where the mechanical pig's hoof disappeared.

At this time, Mr. Victor's voice came from the headset.

"Brother Ma, don't mess around."

Victor was hiding on a floating rock a few hundred meters away, with a folded plane behind him.

The pilot was Capone, and his apprentice Sofia was his deputy.

Capone asked while smoking, "Did that kid cause trouble?"

Sophia said angrily, "I said that those who play with shit are unreliable."

Mr. Victor was speechless.

In a sense, Victor was very glad that Fengchu was not there, otherwise something bad might happen.

Maerjie just felt that the thing that flew over the grass just now was a bit like Chabai's mechanical hand.

The mechanical pig's hoof had entered the sewer pipe and returned to Chabai through the rapid steam.

Ah...

Yes...

Chabai is still a pig now.

It is similar to the curse of Capone and Don Quixote, or even more serious.

And this damn curse has no time limit, and no one knows how to break it. The good news is that you can summon magic grids and take things out of your backpack, but your legs and feet are a little inconvenient...

But although she is a pig... she is not idle.

First... because she has learned some of the witch's magic, she does not need to chant spells to activate warlock magic.

Although the pig form limits her ability, she can still use simple spells to hide her breath.

So she relied on the magic of hiding her breath and her tiny body to shuttle through the fortress.

Then she found a lot of things.

In the library, she found the most important item in the area, the epic blueprint: [Permanent Durability Enhancement Technology].

Maljie will definitely be grateful when he knows it.

Then there is [Grand Duke Feng's Alchemy Encyclopedia Catalog] that Li Nuo may need, which is a book.

Li Nuo will also be grateful when he knows it.

Finally, there is the [List of Military Weapons of the Principality of Wales]. Maljie and Li Nuo will be grateful when they know it.

In short, the best things that Soran found here through the strategy have been collected by Cha Bai in the grid.

This woman is so damn capable.

In addition, the floating arm (pig's trotter) has the function of visual and voice communication because it integrates the POD system of the YoRHa unit.

Just now, Cha Bai heard the conversation between Llorente and Brum through the arm, so everyone's main task has been updated.

[Main task has been updated: Ikaros's location has been obtained, and he will go there with the secret key]

Then, it is also the most important.

A woman from the "Arctic Circle Guild" adopted her...

Now there is a basin in front of Cha Bai.

There is food for prisoners in it.

The woman's name is Echo.

She is a good girl and a capable person. She once injured Li Nuo with a sniper rifle in the "Cyberpunk" script.

So far, there are only two people who have survived the attack on Li Nuo, one is Maljie and the other is Aiko.

So this proves that this woman is a player who is particularly good at hiding.

But even so, she cannot escape from the prison island.

"Eat quickly, little guy..."

Aiko put all the meaty food in Chabai's bowl, even though the so-called meat was bugs.

Chabai looked at the bugs in the bowl that were still moving their legs... She thought of what Li Nuo had said, that you can't waste other people's kindness, otherwise it will turn into malicious revenge on you... She also thought of Maljie, as long as he didn't eat shit.

So, she reluctantly raised her hoof and mashed the ingredients... and ate them unwillingly.

"Aiko, are you still in the mood to feed the pigs?"

The speaker was Nick in the next cell.

Echo lowered his eyelids, touched Chabai's trembling head, and whispered softly: "You're almost dead... Do some good deeds."

Prometheus in the cell opposite said through the iron bars: "Don't be so pessimistic, there is still a chance."

"You are fucking eating shit, Prometheus." Nie Ke said unhappily: "Echo this girl has no gold coins, she will die if she goes back, and she will die if she stays. What do you think we should do?"

"As long as we recruit those three guys...." Prometheus said "recruit" very guilty.

What he wanted to say was that as long as Li Nuo and the other three were recruited, even if the commission of the big guild was completed, he could ask the big guild for a reward and successfully pass the tribulation.

But the problem is...

Everyone knows that it is impossible for those three guys to be recruited by them.

Don't even mention recruiting.

All those who can withdraw from the "Arctic Circle Guild" have run away, and their ally, the bald big brother Bian Zu, has been killed by Brup.

And they had no idea where Li Nuo and the other three were.

If the location was not the sky train, and if Li Nuo had not fought with Brump and the others, perhaps everything would have gone differently, but the problem is that there are not so many assumptions in this world.

They now have only one problem to face, how to escape.

Cha Bai finally finished his food.

Echo touched Cha Bai's head: "At least we are still useful, otherwise we would have died long ago. Wait a little longer, if no miracle happens, exit the script."

Prometheus: "Is there any way to escape?"

Echo shook his head: "I am best at escaping, but there is no possibility of escape here. The magic covers the entire area. As long as you break out of the magic net, the sky will sound an alarm. Even if you leave by chance, there is still a group of man-eating flying monsters outside the island. We have no chance."

Nie Ke gritted his teeth: "If my Poké Ball is still in my hand..."

His Poké Ball was also found by Cha Bai, buried under a mud pipe.

Prometheus narrowed his eyes: "That is to say... the only way to get out is to completely destroy the island from the outside?"

Nick smiled slightly: "Nonsense, who can do it?"

At this time... Cha Bai heard the voice of the system.

[Special friend backpack sharing application]

Li Nuo is contacting her.

Immediately opened the backpack grid, and subconsciously used the pig nose to open a new note in the grid.

It read: "When it is safe, use the [Summoning Magic Crystal] to summon the island whale to the prison island."
