Chapter 34: The Barrier Is Lifted

"What, let me ask, I think of a point that I care a little about."

On an uninhabited island, Yagi Yukisai and Circe were silently working hard, when suddenly, Yagi's voice broke the silence.

The two have already decided to make an improvised ship to go to sea. Naturally, I was full of enthusiasm and began to prepare for shipbuilding.

Generally speaking, ordinary people in this situation will begin to be timid, feeling that shipbuilding is unrealistic and that going to sea is risky. After all, being content with the status quo is the basic idea of most ordinary people. However, Yukisai's nature is to "get your body moving first when you don't know what to do." Anyway, if you don't stay, the situation won't get better. "That's the kind of man of action.

With the holy sword, it is easy to cut down the thick trees that are hugged, and simply deal with the abrupt branches and leaves to make relatively smooth logs. Circe, on the other hand, was responsible for strengthening the vines that could be collected, tying the trunks of the trees and making wooden rafts.

Yagi's words made his face excited, and Circe, who was buried in the bundle logs, chuckled in his heart: What? Could it be that you suddenly decided not to take me out! Are you going to regret it? Don't go back! Men have to say their word, and they don't allow me to regret it!

"You, what did you think of......"

Not noticing the sudden change in the expression on Circe's face, Yagi sat on a severed tree trunk, cut off the branches and leaves on it, and asked without raising his head:

"You mentioned before that on this island, there is an enchantment you laid down, right?"

"Hmm."

"What is the effect?"

"Don't let anyone find out about us? After all, you think, there are a lot of terrible creatures in the ocean here, right? ”

In other words...... Whether it's because no one came to accompany you, or if my ship didn't find me, is it because of this thing? ”

Yagi finally put down what he was doing, stood up, and looked at Circe with a troubled expression.

“………………”

"Don't be silent!"

"Ahh......h Yes, it is possible...... It's just a little bit, it's really a little bit! ”

Circe laughed awkwardly.

Yagi didn't know what to say anymore.

Should it be said that the witches of Greece are stupid?

"Then wouldn't it be enough to lift this barrier?"

"No, no, no, no!! I said I would be discovered! ”

"Huh? What's wrong with being discovered? We've already decided to go anyway. ”

Yagi smiled and pointed to the half-done carpentry in his hand.

Circe looked at him, weighed it, and felt that what he said made sense.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Then, I'll remove the barrier! ”

As if she had made up her mind, Circe nodded vigorously, and with a wave of her hand, the particles of magic condensed in her hand, turning into a long wand, the kind that can always be seen in animation.

As she muttered the words in her mouth, beautiful magic surged through her body, similar to lines, as if countless threads were drawn from her body to weave a craft on the earth, and the silk threads of magic of various colors quickly weaved into a beautiful magic circle under her feet, and as she raised her wand, the formation continued to rotate and merge into the island.

"In that case, Yagi's ship will find us, right? But hopefully they'll be ...... soon."

"Well, whether they're fast or not, what we're going to do hasn't changed. Continuing to make the raft and then preparing the food, waiting for them is not an option, we should take the initiative to go to them...... But it's sad that there are no charts and no directions...... Well, you really should have a wolf smoke in your hand, right? ”

The second half of Yagi's words were to himself, and he muttered, his fingers stroking his smooth chin.

By the way, wolf smoke is different from ordinary smoke, and legend has it that the beacon towers in ancient China used wolf dung as fuel, and the smoke was black and straight, and could reach the sky.

However, the problem is that there are no wolves on this uninhabited island, where does the wolf dung come from?

And, even if there is, Yagi doesn't want to pick up from the bottom of his heart. Is it possible to let Circe come? No kidding, it's damned to let a girl do such a thing...... In other words, should you be punished for cutting meat with a holy sword and fishing with a magic gun?

Finally, and most importantly, this is the question.

According to the scientific research of modern people, I am afraid that the ancient wolf smoke was not the smoke burned with wolf dung, but also the smoke that told future generations that the wolf soldiers attacked. The wolf soldiers here are border nomads who often invade ancient China, such as the Xiongnu, and there are many tribes in the steppe people who use wolves as totems.

None of that is considered, though.

Yagi looked at the sky.

I suddenly had an idea.

Anyway, the purpose is to let people know that they are on this island, right?

"Circe, with your witch's ability, can you make a particularly large mirror? Probably so, I'm going to let the light hit and go straight up to the sky. Ah, by the way, it must be sturdy, and it must be able to withstand the power of the treasure of the city. ”

Circe nodded, it wasn't difficult for her to make a mirror, especially since this was an island and there was water everywhere, so she could just make an ice mirror out of water. As for the magic of the confrontation...... It may be a bit of a struggle, but it's not impossible.

The question is...... What are you doing here?

A big question mark almost popped out of Circe's head.

"I'm going to use the holy sword, blast it."

Yagi grinned and said his whimsy.

Yes, why did the ancients light wolf smoke?

It must be to take advantage of the fact that the wolf smoke is straight and high, and will not be easily blown away by the wind.

On the other hand, you can also use your own treasure to make it long and straight.

By reflecting the golden beam into the sky, he tells the nearby ships that he is here.

Of course, there are two drawbacks to this, the first of which is ...... It is impossible to determine that his own ship is not nearby.

In the morning, Yagi had already walked around the island when he was fishing, and his eyes were painted with farsighted rune, but he didn't get any gains, and everywhere was blue, and the shadow of the ship could not be seen.

So, you can only gamble.

The second one...... It's just impossible to know for sure if the enemy will notice this pillar of light that soars into the sky.

But......

"Well, it won't get any better if we stay anyway, so let's take a gamble. I'm sorry if I'm wrong. ”

Yagi first apologized heartily to Circe.

"No, no, no! I think it's good that you can count on me! Good! Get motivated! ”

The girl made a gesture of rolling up her sleeves, which made Yagi laugh.

The ice mirror made by Circe was quickly formed.

In order not to shatter easily, she made the mirror particularly thick.

Then it's time to wait for nightfall.

During this time, Yagi continued to prepare for the work of making rafts.

It wasn't until night fell that Yagi unravel the strong wind outside his treasure.

The blades of the sword, in two beautiful pastel colors, gold and silver, glowed warmly in the night. Shining on Yagi and Circe's faces, the halo on both of their faces softened.

"So, I'll be on it."

Yagi silently recites the liberation word of the treasure in his heart.

With the surge of magic power, countless particles of light condensed on his blade, and with his roar, the light shrouded in the blade turned into a torrent of light, rushing straight towards the ice mirror, and then was disturbed by the magic of Circe, and went straight to the sky! Transform into a glorious banner in the night sky.

Now, it's up to fate to see who discovered this pillar of light first.
