[Alright...]
Seeing this, Noemi could only turn back to her room in disappointnt.
Rogel chuckled.
After handing the Sound Transmission Conch to Yas and explaining how to use it, Lina followed Rogel off the Gelin.
Ozuric Island is quite large, and if the cave is far away, Rogel might not return for several days.
So he entrusted Yas with the task of watering the Exotic Grape Species, ntioning it to the Exotic Grape Species before departing.
Of course, there's no knowing if it understood.
...
Ozuric Island is large, at least as far as islands go.
And the terrain division of Ozuric Island is quite interesting.
With the Royal City at the center, the southeast features a vast stretch of exposed coastal Reef Mountains, with harsh terrain inhabited by so terrestrial murlocs.
To the southwest lies a dense expanse of primordial forests and mountains, with similarly elevated terrain, including swamps and the island's largest lake, rumored to be ho to elves.
To the north, there's Ozuric Island's tallest peak, the location of Divine Descendant Peak, where snow is accumulated year-round due to high altitude.
The remaining areas consist of hills and mountains, a small coastal plain, and the central plain, which is the site of the Central Royal City.
This distinct terrain forms three corners protecting the Central Royal City.
And, for reasons unknown, the Royal Family forbids developnt in these three places.
Rogel and the others landed on the island from the southern port, and the Pointer directed them toward the southeast Reef Mountains.
Given the long journey, Rogel and Lina hired a carriage for travel.
The carriage traveled along rural paths, and along the way, Rogel noticed the rustic charm of villages and towns. Compared to urban buildings, the constructions here were much lower.
Away from the coastline, the surrounding mountains and endless land gave Rogel a blissful feeling he hadn't felt in a long ti.
Undoubtedly, in contrast to the precariousness of the ocean, the solid ground of the land brings a sense of security.
Especially after a long ti of drifting at sea, this feeling is heightened.
Of course, Rogel hadn't wandered at sea for long, spending most of his ti lying at ho, munching on chips and enjoying unhealthy drinks.
[Sir and Madam, you must be visiting Ozuric Island for the first ti, right?]
The carriage driver began to chat.
Rogel and Lina nodded in response, not saying much.
However, the driver seed quite sociable, warmly introducing so local nas and customs to Rogel and Lina.
[This is Bandoru, a rather nice little town. The wine brewed here is exquisite; if you're interested, you might stop and buy so...]
[That old man nad Mardun is a fool, literally. He hit his head while mining at the eastern quarry and couldn't work anymore. His wife left, his son disappeared, and he's been foolish ever since...]
[This is Sweet Fruit Honey Grass, not yet mature; but once it turns dark, it becos very sweet. People use it for brewing...]
Rogel engaged in idle chit-chat.
It seems that most drivers are rather talkative, and it's unsure if this is so hidden attribute engraved in their genes.
He kept an eye on the Cave Pointer, occasionally informing the carriage driver of the needed direction changes.
Occasionally, small towns or villages appeared along the way.
Even on Ozuric Island, not every place could be a large city.
Passing through a small village, Rogel's Cave Pointer started to shift significantly.
This indicated the cave was nearby.
After informing the driver, Rogel and Lina disembarked from the carriage and entered the village.
So villagers were busy when they arrived, wary of them, with so approaching to inquire their intention.
The two of them casually responded, then traversed the village and continued walking for quite a long distance until they began spotting reef rocks.
The two arrived at the edge of a cliff, where Rogel's Cave Pointer began to shift.
Rogel looked around and downward.
Specifically, they weren't at the edge of the cliff.
Behind the cliff, directly in front of them, lay a massive hollow chamber. Below, the chamber was filled with seawater and sharp, twisted reef rocks, directly leading to the sea.
After walking around the hollow chamber, Rogel confird the Pointer's destination was inside the hollow chamber.
[The area around here is all cliff, how do we get down?]
Lina surveyed the surroundings.
At this mont, they stood at the sea cliff's edge, with the sound of crashing waves faintly heard.
[Didn't you turn into that red bat that can fly?]
Rogel stroked his chin, looking at her.
Lina rolled her eyes.
[No, it requires a target's aura for lock-on.]
[Besides, it's not actual flying, just gliding, needing leg force for impact.]
Lina shrugged.
She naturally contemplated this issue.
After pondering for a mont, Rogel glanced around, spotting a protruding rock.
But when he fetched the rope from the Item Inventory and asured it at the hollow chamber, he found it wasn't long enough.
However, he had prepared more than one rope.
After knotting two ropes together, Rogel secured the rope's head to the rock, tested its load capacity, and confird there were no issues.
[Alright, you go down along the rope.]
After saying this to Lina, Rogel leapt toward the hollow chamber.
As for Lina, she could only obediently follow the rope down.
