140 – The Wall of the Sea

As you get closer to the wall of the sea.

The first unusual phenomenon observed was that the weather became clear.

The Strait of Magentani, where storms and strong waves were mixed with all kinds of turbulence, gradually calmed down and became a clear sky without a single cloud.

Also, the huge waves that seemed to swallow the ship gradually became smaller, and by the time they reached the boundary line of the ‘special zone’, they had turned into a calm lake.

The water level of the lake became shallower toward the center, gradually exposing the land.

In other words, the closer you get to the sea wall, the closer the water disappears and the land becomes exposed.

“We are all here. “You have to walk from here.”

That’s how we arrived at the land in the middle of the sea.

Soon, we anchored the boat, gathered the necessary luggage and followed the guide. After walking several kilometers with the guide, we finally began to see the ‘Sea Wall’ with the naked eye.

What caught my eye was a huge water column rising so high that it almost touched the sky.

“That is…A wall of the sea….”

Everyone who watched this was overwhelmed by its grandeur.

The wall, which is over 700 meters high, is entirely made of sea water.

A totality of mysteries was unfolding before my eyes, completely defying the laws of physics and for which there was no way to explain anything other than the term ‘magical zone.’

“Hearing and seeing are different, right? I am also amazed every time I come. “Can something like this actually exist?”

Just as the guide suddenly spoke to me, I was also overwhelmed.

It feels like watching Planet Müller from the movie ‘Interstellar.’

However, the waves of the sea wall in front of me are much higher than those of Planet Miller.

Furthermore, it is not swirling around, but is fixed and rising like that.

It has a round shape, as if something is hidden inside.

The size is so majestic that it only appears to be a straight line, but the sea wall is oval-shaped.

“·····Let’s set up base camp first.”

“Yep!”

But whatever is hidden there, I plan to find it at any cost.

Maybe what’s inside could be the key to the ending of this damn game.

***

10 O’clock in the evening.

Admiring compliments were coming from all over the place.

The people of Klendor scream with happiness at the taste of a large modern PVC tent that is almost like a home.

And perhaps that was a natural reaction.

The tent they brought with them was nothing more than a pile of flimsy rags that could barely shelter them from the wind and rain.

Of course, that’s from my perspective.

‘I paid some attention.’

In comparison, my PVC tent is different from the tent material.

The tent is made of thick polyester fabric coated with PVC.

In addition, dozens of strong and lightweight aluminum alloy bars were welded together to hold the foundation frame, and the floor was entirely made of wood, so there was no need to experience any inconveniences due to uneven floors.

In addition, heating equipment and mattresses are placed, so it is hard to tell whether this is a camp or a home.

“Every morning, when you wake up, bow once in the direction of your lord.”

My engineering corps, which had set up a base camp, was showing condescension to the Klendor crew.

It’s spacious, warm, and soft, with well-separated areas, and a separate bathroom.

He said the tent was literally better than his house and credited it all to my genius skills.

I’m embarrassed to say it out loud so people can hear me, but it’s not a bad feeling.

“My lord. “Everyone is here.”

From noble mtl dot com

While he was just clearing his throat and enjoying my compliments.

Grick came to me and reported.

It was a report that all personnel had been gathered to plan for this exploration.

Because I am also the captain and decision-maker of this expedition, I had the authority to bring everyone together like this.

“Meet the princess.”

Soon, I came to the tent that served as a conference room and greeted the princess sitting at the head of the table.

In response, the princess began fiddling with something, telling him not to worry about her and that she could have her own meeting.

It was a toy I made.

“·····We should share information first.”

Leaving behind the princess fiddling with the toy.

I started leading the meeting.

First, we asked the Klendor guide to tell us all the stories about the sea wall.

The person who knows the most about the sea wall is the 7th guide.

“·····First of all, you can’t get through that wall through physical means.”

However, the first thing the guide said was somewhat shocking.

It can never be penetrated by physical means.

When asked the reason, the guide answered.

“·····Many veteran sea hunters have entered the wall. But no one has survived so far.”

“····No one survived? “Has the body been found?”

However, the guide’s explanation was strange.

You rule out the possibility of disappearance and are confident that no one survived.

“Yes. I confirmed that everyone was dead. He died from a fall.”

“······.”

As expected, everyone who entered the castle walls had a signature.

The absurd cause of death is ‘falling to death.’

When asked about it, the guide answered.

“I don’t know why. Because there was no one to tell us what happened inside the walls. However, everyone died the same way. 30 Minutes after entering the castle walls, he fell from the sky and died. “It fell from such a high place that it was damaged to the point where it was difficult to recognize its shape.”

“······.”

Everyone swallowed their saliva with nervous expressions at the guide’s words.

Based on his testimony, it seems clear that he climbed up the wall of the sea for some reason and was thrown to the ground.

‘·····You can’t understand it in terms of general physical laws. ‘This is a magical singularity.’

And that speculation is a phenomenon that is almost absurd.

What kind of force must occur to climb a huge body of water over 600m and fall to the ground?

“I guess I should try some experiments.”

In the end, the only way to find out the cause was a test.

The idea is to put everything inside except people and see what happens.

“Well… If that’s the case, we also did some experiments.”

However, Clendor said that they had already made such an attempt and began to recite their attempts.

And the results of the experiment were shocking.

“So…All animals except humans did not fall? Even inanimate objects like rocks or steel?”

“····Yes.”

I was shocked.

You just pick on people and send them down.

It was as if the wall itself had will.

“·····No matter how dangerous the country is.”

At that time, Elena carefully spoke out her words.

They are asking for their opinion on whether it would be dangerous for them to go there.

It’s not that she isn’t, because she is the greatest wizard in the world.

“···Everyone knows the great wizard’s skills, but I hope he doesn’t go in directly. “The Sword Master also died after entering the castle walls.”

“·····Yes?”

The intestines were frozen.

The Sword Master is dead.

Isn’t the Sword Master the pinnacle symbol of one of only five in this world?

“Are you talking about the beginning?”

I asked him exactly about its authenticity.

I wonder if he is not a ‘real’ sword master but rather a beginner or intermediate stage.

The guide shook his head and answered.

“····No. He was a person who had reached the stage of maturity. “This is Lord Gillaton, who is known to be secluded in other countries.”

···Sword Master Gillaton.

It is said that she entered an abandoned building for training, but in fact, she died while trying to cross the sea wall.

Clendor must have had no choice but to conceal this fact.

“···Gillaton wonders······.”

A wall of the sea that not even the Sword Master could overcome.

As a result, there was a gloomy atmosphere in the hall.

In particular, cadets aspiring to become prosecutors or active-duty soldiers seem to be having difficulty recovering from the shock.

“·····What if we let something that is neither living nor inanimate inside?”

At that time.

Clarice, who had been listening quietly, opened her mouth.

Finally, as everyone looked at her, the half-elf girl perked up her ears and spoke again.

“I can communicate with spirits. If we ask the earth spirit to create a golem and bring it inside, we might be able to find out something.”

····For sure.

With that method, you can explore the inside.

Isn’t the sea wall a wall that only keeps humans out?

We immediately decided to adopt Clarisse’s method and experiment with it.

However, there were unexpected variables in using this method.

“···The spirit is not responding.”

There is no spirit at all.

No spirits lived in the magical singularity.

In the end, I decided to use this method.

“Then let’s make it without the spirit. A golem that listens well to us.”

The method I came up with, taking a cue from Clarice’s Golem.

It involves creating a semi-android robot and bringing it inside.

Of course, sending Fix was the surest way, but since Fix was my assistant and family, I couldn’t send him to such a dangerous place.

By using embedded computing, only the minimum programming required for exploration is transplanted and sent into the castle walls.

“Guys. “Everyone gather together.”

So I called the club kids.

Even after coming here, all 17 people were losing hair on the top of their heads, perhaps because they had studied hard.

Now, it should be called a hair loss club, not a f*cking club.

“I plan to build a robot that can carry out simple commands. “You guys need to help.”

But that’s it.

I started explaining my plan to the kids.

This is an ‘exploration robot’ created by combining modern engineering and magic engineering.

The food we brought with us was limited, so in order to finish the exploration quickly, we had to work hard with the kids in the club to build an exploration robot.

“Good job.”

This is the result of roasting them and focusing on research and development.

We were able to create an exploration robot fairly quickly.

It is still embarrassingly low in functionality to be called a robot.

At least it had all the functions necessary for exploration.

So, it is a function that moves to avoid obstacles or automatically records.

“Whoa…Goodbye, ‘Fix’s best friend'”

So we named the completed exploration robot ‘Pix’s Best Friend’.

Fix was angry, saying that such an idiot could not be his friend, but his friend steadily moved forward anyway and finally entered the sea wall.

The video transmission magic sphere built into the guy began to relay the situation inside in real time.

-·····Paaah!

However, the broadcast was cut off shortly afterwards.

As if the radio waves had been blocked, the video transmission magic sphere built into the robot and the transmission magic sphere in the conference room were cut off.

‘It’s probably still moving.’

However, the exploration robot I developed does not move solely through remote control.

It was programmed on its own and commanded to move until its feet touched the ground on the other side.

‘Please kick me out.’

Now all that’s left is for the sea wall, which has mistaken my exploration robot for a human, to drive it out of the castle wall.

In that case, the exploration robot thrown to the ground will be destroyed, but the specially strengthened video transmission magic sphere inside it will remain intact and you will be able to see what was filmed inside.

‘Please mistake me for a human!’

For this, I implemented the robot’s movements like a human.

In addition, it was programmed to have a similar effect to ‘underwater breathing’.

“Fall!”

And the result.

We succeeded in fooling the sea wall.

Pix’s friend, who recorded all the contents inside, was released outside the castle walls.

I held the video recording magic ball rolling around in the broken rubble.

Now it’s time to find out what content was recorded inside.
