Episode 152. Shax’s Floor (3)
[9-3 Great Age of Pirates: Find the door and enter.]
Stage on the 27th floor Great Age of Pirates was one of the dimensions Shax conquered.
A case like the Endress Express, which was Salomon’s home dimension and stage.
However, there was no land in the Great Pirate Age stage.
This is because the Shax ‘plundered’ the land of the continent.
“You’ve done an outrageous thing by plundering the land.”
– Could something like that happen on Earth?
“Maybe.”
Although there is no land, the nature of the animal called human has not changed.
human attributes.
being a social animal.
Humans had a habit of trying to connect and unite with each other even in the absence of land.
The medium was a ship.
Humans began to live in the landless world of the sea, calling gigantic ships the territory of the country.
Of course, there are very few common wooden ships.
He created a boat by adding magical processing to materials found in the sea.
In the days when the land existed, the materials cut down from the land trees were treasures that could not be compared with anything in the Great Pirate Age stage.
A huge ship is coming soon.
And the player randomly lands on one of the ships.
This is the same aspect as Endress Express.
Players become shoplifters who have invaded the country.
In the Great Pirate Age stage, humans without a pass passed as slaves.
Of course, if caught, the harsh situation could not be avoided.
Even though Taeyang was a petty thief, he proudly took the lead and looked around.
With that confident attitude, the natives of the stage walking around did not doubt the sun.
I could see the horizon and see a large group of ships filling up about half of the horizon.
“... ... You mean there’s a door on one of these ships? You can find it and go in.”
He said that the stage of the Sharks is represented by the two words ‘plunder’.
It was the same with this stage.
At first glance, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with looting.
However, in fact, it is a structure that has no choice but to plunder naturally in order to survive.
People who live on solid ground have compassion, but people who live on constantly shaking water are bound to be different.
Of course, it is not such a simple classification as hard or shaken.
On land, either through farming or through hunting. Or you can live by collecting.
But the sea is different.
Except for limited farming in the few sea currents that meet the conditions, the rest have no choice but to supply food through hunting or gathering.
Humanity began to grow through the agricultural revolution.
The Cognitive Revolution and the Agricultural Revolution gave humanity the concept of ‘surplus wealth’, which made it possible for strangers to share food they could eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
However, surplus property was a dream word for humans without land.
Of course, the kindness that sprouted in the hearts of humans when there was land quickly faded.
“I fight for food, fight with the kids who hear it and run to it, and fight with the guys who want to take revenge on their colleagues. really. You made the stage horrible.”
The sun shook its head and laughed fiercely.
***
A well-made stage also satisfies the devil’s desire to show off as a work of art.
The Great Pirate Age stage was like that.
The Sharks’ Great Pirate Era stage was famous for being as large-scale as Chimeries’ signature stage, the Endress Express.
When the Great Pirate Age stage was first introduced, many demon kings showed favorable reviews.
At the time, as the front-line players eventually beat it up, interest in it cooled, but the evaluation that it was a well-made stage still remained unchanged.
‘I haven’t changed... ... .’
The Sharks looked down the stage.
What is the definition of a well-made stage?
It is a stage that is fun to watch and brings out the player’s ability to the limit, and the process is always punctuated by fierce battles.
In fact, it is not easy to fill all three courses.
If you pursue the fun of watching, there is a limit to drawing out the player’s ability.
Even if you design a stage that brings out the player’s abilities to the end, it is difficult to make the process punctuated by fierce battles.
For example, the soul training ground stage brings out the player’s abilities to the limit, but the intense battles are intermittent and boring to watch.
Since ancient times, the people who have been most sensitive to issues such as food have been sailors.
In fact, what Taeyang did had to be sensitively accepted by any person, not just a sailor.
On land, wild boars are released daily on farms, chasing people who come to work in the fields, and threatening those who go hunting with weapons.
threat to livelihood.
What Taeyang did was, in effect, cut off all production activities that could be done on the Adolf mothership.
Barbatos nodded.
“It’s the move of a good hunter.”
When the timely provocation was added to this, the humans of Adolf Mothership eventually chose war.
But it was no different from a rabbit coming out of a rabbit hole choking on smoke.
why?
It was because the gap between them and Taeyang’s party was as wide as the rabbit and the hunter.
On the Endress Express stage, Taeyang, who burst into admiration for the strength of Corps Commander Koh Young, overpowered Adolf, the best warrior on the Great Pirate Age stage, in just three moves.
Taeyang and the others cleared the stage.
Of course, other players who were scattered throughout the Great Pirate Age stage cleared the stage thanks to the sun.
“The stage loses its meaning because of one player.”
Shax repeated admiration in admiration, gulp gulp, and squirmed as he writhed.
And Barbatos, who hardened his expression even more.
‘I’ll definitely need some checks.’
***
Naturally, the official grade I received after clearing the Sharks floor was S.
It was to the point where Taeyang himself wondered if there had ever been a floor that was so overwhelmingly cleared.
– The Great Pirate Age stage was definitely good.
Hyunhye muttered in an excited voice.
it was good.
Because there are over 20 achievements obtained only in the Great Pirate Age stage.
However, the part that Hyeon-hye was good was not a story in terms of results.
In this layer, there was a big step forward in that Hyeon-hye’s strategy and Tae-yang’s ability to perform were a perfect fit.
“At this rate, it must be much sooner than we thought.”
-that’s right. The 36th floor will come soon.
36th floor.
It was most likely that Byullim was tied to the stage near the 36th floor for some reason.
“Now then, let’s move on to the next stage.”
– Calm down a little. You don’t know it, other players will need a break.
Salomon and Ran Messiah were of course stronger than players of the same class, but not as strong as the sun.
I have no choice but to get tired of following the tempo of the sun.
Of course, being able to serve one serving while following the tempo of the sun was great in itself.
Just looking at Taeyang’s specs now, he was at a level where he wouldn’t kneel compared to KK at the time of the 50th floor.
Clan Yuri Maximov was still a Class A clan.
It was because the guild deliberation hadn’t finished yet.
The guild deliberation was postponed for five days after the clan war, and the results were announced, but Taeyang and his party broke through three floors in just four days.
This was an incident that caused quite a controversy even in the integrated shelter.
Some argued that there was a connection between the sun and the devil.
“That’s not very wrong.”
However, the claim didn’t make much of a difference.
Right now, it is the yard where some of the clan chief executives of the A-class clan signed a contract with the demon king from the empty space of the gate of the S-class clan Changchun.
If you didn’t want to climb the dimensional labyrinth, you could talk softly, but if you were going to climb, of course you had to be quiet.
There was one more surprising fact about the integrated shelter.
“Pacca joined Agrippa?”
“yes. I thought what was going on because I left the clan the other day, but I never thought I would have joined an S-ranked clan. I was also surprised.”
It was a sad message delivered by Yoon Taek, an officer of the flame.
“Wasn’t it almost to the point of hating people just by looking at what he was saying? Well done.”
“I don’t even know what happened. I tried to find out, but it was not easy.”
“are you okay. What do you think? It won’t be a hindrance when we go up right now.”
It was when Yoon-taek left the inn and Tae-yang was left alone.
“Hello, player Taeyang Yoon.”
Just then, Dantalian appeared in the Clan House.
in a translucent form.
