Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Even though I'm used to it, I still have these thoughts, especially when I'm watching from such a close distance.

Consistent with reality, without any embellishment.

Every micro-expression on her face is like a flower blooming year after year, similar yet different each year.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly so sad?" Yu Man asked, because the face in front of her was turning bitter.

"Nothing, I just think you're so damn beautiful, bro. When I think about how it's exactly like real life, I get panicky. How did you end up like this? Teach me."

Can this be taught?

Yu Man smiled and shook her head, saying frankly, "What a coincidence, I was thinking about something similar."

"...Uh." The deer seemed to be choking.

Yu Man's feather pen did not brush past her earlobe, but it began to turn red from there, like the quietly approaching sunset, with a light red color spreading out.

After enchanting her helmet, Yu Man dipped his pen into ink again and wrote the same spell all the way down the armor.

Then it's like training a dog——

"Hand, stretch out."

"what?"

"Enchant your gauntlets—what, do you need to feed them bones to enchant them?"

Xiaolu stretched out her hand, but quickly understood her joke and feigned anger, knocking her on the head with her fingernails. This knock seemed to make her, who was already petite, even shorter...

Finally, the hand slowly fell into Yu Man's hand.

"Fuck, that's heavy."

"After all, there are gauntlets."

In order to save energy, the weak magician could only use magic to create an ice chair for her so that she could put her hands on the armrests, which saved a lot of energy.

Xiaolu seemed a little disappointed, but watching Yu Man bend down, grab her calf, and put it on his knees——

"Wait, Eel, are you going to do this when you help others enchant this in the future?" She felt both shy and happy, but also a little strangely worried.

"No, I'm more familiar with you, so I don't need to worry about it... With other people, I would definitely ask them to take it off and give it to me."

"I'm more familiar with you..."

"Just don't kick me."

Her boots were very light, made of only very thin metal plates, fur and leather ropes.

Start with the feather pen at the toes and gently draw towards the calf.

The slender brush tip - it suits it very well.

"Change your foot." Yu Man patted his feet, indicating that this one was done.

"Okay—do you want me to take it off too?"

"It's very troublesome, no."

Strange spells were written all over her body.

Finally, there's the two-handed sword, which makes the already evil thing look even more bizarre.

"Just activate them when needed." After finishing work, Yu Man lamented the exhaustion of working for free.

"I see." Xiaolu looked puzzled. "The enchanter is really interesting. He came up with something like this... a reasonable, voluntary, explosive suit."

"Who says it isn't?"

"——Brother! Draw on my body too." The Ice Prison Dragon, who had been watching since who knows when, suddenly hugged Yu Man, stuck out his little tongue, and seemed to be very interested.

Explaining to her actually took me longer than I had prepared, so I was ten minutes later than expected.

But - everyone is still ready.

They stood outside the Mage Tower, waiting for adventure.

"That--" The fairy wings gently dissolved in the light in Yu Man's hand.

Then--

The entire island, Rumanaseti, is shrouded in a light aqua color.

Like a tourist in an aquarium, standing in the darkness, with the colorful sea color reflected on his body.

They swayed on the island, swaying on Man and them - as if they were separated by glass, and as if they were separated by the world.

"It's worthy of being a difficult copy. The special effects when it's activated are always beautiful..." Xiaolu sighed.

"Ah."

But in Yu Man's opinion, this is not simply the scenery of opening a copy.

Or is it a hint from the treasure map - where does this water color come from?

She looked out and around.

"It smells like the ocean tide... and it's deep blue. It's located on the island, so there's only one place." Yu Man held the holy book in his hand and walked in one direction. "Let's go."

……

Throughout the entire Lumana Seti, there are many areas that Yu Man has never set foot on. After all, the island is very large, even larger than the main city island of Shimlabakken.

But the most attractive thing is the blue hole.

It is located near the coast, embedded in the lush forest like a gem.

Round, deep blue, and captivating.

but now--

It is an entrance.

"It is indeed this." Yu Man, who was standing next to the blue hole, confirmed this.

The deep blue is reflected from here, spreading across the entire island.

Unlike what you see from the sky, up close you realize it's actually quite large. Almost the size of a football field, yet rounded. Strangely, it's both a deep blue and clear and tranquil.

Sea fish can be seen everywhere, or strange jellyfish, which appear from nowhere from time to time and sway in unknown depths.

"Traveler, what do you think?" Yu Man asked.

"It's a hole on the island that connects to the sea. Because it's so deep, it looks like a blue hole... In reality, it's often a diving paradise. I received one as a birthday gift as a child, and I went there once out of curiosity. There were lists of people who died in diving next to it, and it gave me nightmares... Since then, I've banned people from diving there."

“…I didn’t ask you that.” Rather, is that a gift that humans can receive?

"Oh, you're asking about the terrain! I feel like it's very complicated down there, with many faults and forks... I can tell from the types of fish and the currents in the water. If we go down, I probably won't be able to hold my breath for long... Or are you asking if I can catch any fish?"

The terrain is very complex, so the difficulty of exploration increases dramatically.

It's actually quite easy for players to dive. Enchantments, potions, magic, equipment... all kinds of methods can give people the ability to sleep and breathe. And because you can communicate by typing, there's actually no inconvenience in moving underwater.

But even so, ocean currents, monsters, and strange magical turbulences can easily take the player's life.

This was especially true for the Blue Hole, where there were so many unknowns. Even though their spawn point was at the Mage Tower, allowing them to quickly reach it, now that the treasure map had been activated and the system was overriding it, it was highly likely to become an illegal zone. A single mistake could mean their equipment would be buried with them.

"What to do, eel?"

"I'll send someone to take a look."

Yu Man took out a brand new knot, and the three reflections of the old world moved here.

Among them, the guy who served as a scout and was called "Eye" by Yu Man was a master at this time.

"Hello, Promise Keeper." A blurry figure quietly appeared beside Yu Man, as if it would be melted by the sunlight at any time.

"I'll trouble you again, but please investigate below and share your vision."

"No problem." Yan used his own shadow as ink to draw an open eye on the back of Yu Man's hand.

Then, he looked at the "Fate Changer" and fell into the blue hole.

Without a splash—yet sank into it.

Soon, the world that he saw came into Yu Man's eyes.

In the beautiful and clear underwater world, everything is comfortable and peaceful, and the view slowly sinks into the depths.

but--

Although both are reflections of the old world, the Fate Changer can see more: "Not good, this scout exudes a destiny that symbolizes 'lost'."

"Is it very bad?" Yu Man asked.

"It means failure..."

Yu Man immediately ordered: "Then tamper with its fate."

"Is it worth it? To use my precious power here?"

“Intelligence comes first.”

168 The Upside-Down City and the Patchwork Sky

The "fortune changer" did as he was told.

Her hand stretched out from her long cuffs, then passed through her hair and reached into the threads of fate that mortals could not see.

She manipulated fate and tried to tamper with destiny.

“…Huh.”

But it failed.

A cut appeared on the "Fate Changer's" index finger. Dark, muddy blood slowly oozed out, and she immediately covered her finger with her hand, her face pale.

The thread of fate is too tough to be tampered with by the "fortune changer".

"I can't do it." The "Fate Changer" had a strange expression. "There is an extremely powerful force that determines fate... Anyone who is drawn into it will be led to the inevitable outcome."

Could it be theocracy? Could it be that a tenth-rank figure, tainted with theocracy, resides here?

Or... is there a piece of equipment with the same power buried?

But everything in sight was normal.

Seawater - bubbles like snow, vegetation and marine life.

Sometimes, schools of fish would fight for food and scrape against the rock wall. The mud and sand surged gently, then fell silent.

And the eyes just sank.

sink.

Then--

"Promise Keeper—something's not right." Through the knot, a look of surprise came from his eyes. "There's something... down there. The sea down there is fake! There's something separating us—not good—"

In the slightly panicked vision, this reflection of the old world——

It sank to nowhere and then lost all response.

In Yu Man's knot, one of the three seats suddenly became empty.

"The scout... has disappeared." Yu Man stared, "There's something big down there."

Everyone looked uneasy, especially the Ice Prison Dragon. She was a little scared when she thought about such a strange situation in her home.

The little deer thought very simply. She looked around like a bird looking for materials to build a nest.

With his nimble hands, he quickly gathered numerous vines from the surrounding forest. These were plants that grew alongside trees, competing for sunlight in the gloomy forest. Now, the fawn had strung them into long strips, creating a fairly long rope.

"I need to find something heavy..."

The deer looked around and suddenly locked onto the box.

Xiang Xiang shuddered: "Not even you..."

"Open your mouth, you have materials in your stomach, I'll take a metal bar."

"Luckily it's you."
