My different world is game mode.

"Iceberg..." Walawala followed suit and opened the map. "Indeed! But in the stories and legends I know, there's no land on the Lost Sea. At most, there are 'islands' like the abyssal beasts."

Lindsay shook his head and smiled:

"I'm afraid there's no mention of the Abyssal School in those legends. Perhaps they left a backup plan here?"

Walla Walla nodded in agreement:

"That's right. The unknown world could be hiding all kinds of secrets."

"Now that we're here, let's take a good look!"

Lindsay put away his fishing rod and took control of the boat himself, speeding up their journey.

The ship, which had begun to take shape, broke through the waves and sailed forward.

The originally faintly visible blue light became clearer as time went by, and the angular iceberg below also appeared from bottom to top in the field of vision.

When the distance was about 1 kilometer, Walawala looked ahead, put his right fingers in front of his eyes, and closed his left and right eyes in turn.

Although there is assistance from map skills.

But as a painter, she is still accustomed to using the proportional comparison method to measure the size of objects:

"The visible length is over 10 kilometers... This island is quite large! Adding the coastline shown on the map, this iceberg—no, this Iceland—if it were in a world ruled by the Organizer, establishing a principality on it wouldn't be a problem."

Lindsay, who was driving the boat, couldn't help but feel emotional.

The iceberg I just saw on the map skill is actually the highest point of the island. Now, if I extend my vision backward or to the sides, the exploration skill will show me a vast expanse of floating ice!

"Wala Wala, didn't you say before that you wanted to find the local creatures of the Lost Sea?"

"A place like this?" The girl tilted her head slightly and began to think, "If they live here, what do they eat? They can't just drink seawater to survive, right?"

"And apart from a very few plants that have been transformed into essence, I haven't heard of anything that can grow on ice."

Lindsay shrugged:

"Maybe it's the characteristic of this world."

Wala Wala thought about the strange and bizarre worlds in her mind, then gave up the topic and asked:

"Look at the radar. Is this where the [Abyss School] hides its things?"

Lindsay freed his hands and took out the [Ecosystem Radar] to show it to the girl in front of him:

"At least the needle is pointing here."

Wala Wala suggested:

"Should we continue using our reconnaissance skills and conduct a thorough investigation, or should we be more direct and use our raiders to break through?"

Lindsay naturally chose the former:

"Go to the island and investigate first. If you find nothing, then use this dangerous skill."

As they talked, the ship beneath their feet was getting closer and closer to Iceland.

Looking up at this moment, apart from the reflection from the top of the iceberg, the ground was a little dim.

Scattered sand and soil in irregular shapes covered the ice.

They are mostly found in depressions on the ice surface, like debris washed ashore by waves.

"Okay, let's go to the island."

Lindsay raised his hand, folded the sails and stopped sailing.

He rubbed an anchor on the workbench and sank it down. With the help of the prop function, the boat was stabilized on the seashore.

After completing the preparations, he took off into the air and flew over Iceland with Walla Walla.

As soon as the two approached, they immediately discovered something peculiar on Iceland:

"Lindsay, it's obviously ice here, but the temperature isn't that low?"

Lindsay pointed to a mound in the distance.

Although not very eye-catching, there are still some scattered green on the gray-yellow soil:

"Look over there, there are actually plants growing on some of the mounds!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them activated their reconnaissance skills normally.

[Icebergs], [Rare plants from the Lost Sea], [Small plots of land brought in from the outside world, carried to the island by the sea, and gathered together with low-lying areas.]

Lindsay immediately put the clues together.

What appeared before him was a picture of sand and gravel brought by waves over countless years, gradually gathering into small pieces of land.

"..."

"There are no other scenes? Is it because the years are too long, or are there not enough clues?"

Lindsay thought about it, opened his bag, took out a few pieces of soil he had spared, crushed them and scattered them on the island.

Wala Wala next to him imagined:

"What a shame, neither of us is an adventurer."

"A strange world, a unique island. If I could be the first to discover this land and pass on the story, my skill level would definitely rise sharply!"

Lindsay replied:

"That's impossible to say."

"Don't forget the original pioneers. They might have been here too."

As they talked, they continued to move towards the island.

But apart from these rare plants, they didn't find any signs of animals. Or rather, in this extreme growth environment, the survival of plants was already a rare miracle, and they couldn't support the resource consumption of animals.

In view of this situation, Lindsay's exploration was more restrained than usual and he did not harvest the little life on Iceland.

A few minutes later, the harvest was empty.

When they passed the peak of the iceberg and faced the vast land, Lindsay changed his position and fiddled with the [Ecosphere Radar] in his hand.

After confirming at five locations on the ground and flying in the sky, he finally confirmed that the pointer was pointing to Iceland under his feet!

"That's right, the Abyss School hid its things here."

Wala Wala asked:

"How do we find it then?"

Lindsay proposed a more radical idea:

"There are no outsiders on the Lost Sea now. If we destroy it in advance, wouldn't that solve the problem once and for all?"

Wala Wala couldn't help laughing:

"That would be interesting."

"When the people from the Abyssal School come to revive their power, only to find it destroyed—that would be a truly beautiful scene!"

Lindsay then explained her current predicament:

"The problem now is that we can't sense the presence of any source material on this island. Where did they hide it?"

"..."

On the not-so-cold Iceland, the two stood facing each other.

They each activated their own reconnaissance skills and conducted a thorough investigation of the entire island.

But after a few seconds, they both stopped and turned their eyes in surprise to the iceberg above their heads.

The blue-white light reflected from the top of the mountain is still flickering.

But if you look closely, the light is like a gaze, looking down at the two of them from above.

"..."

Lindsay and Walla Walla fell silent.

Their reconnaissance capabilities were unable to cover the area of ​​the top of the mountain, and it was like a blank slate.

Although the ability has just been developed.

But with their strength, the biggest problem is that the mountain top can be immune to perception!

It seemed that he noticed the gazes of the two people.

The next second, a cold question rang out from the light at the top of the iceberg.

"Traveler, are you trapped here, seeking a way to escape? Or are you driven by greed, coveting the power hidden here?"
