Traveling by sea was a boring activity, especially if you are alone.
Fortunately, Ron was not alone. Together with the girl, even if this is a casual conversation, you can pass the time.
Rather long trip, due to the achievement of the salted fish, Ron has no opportunity to practice, so he talked to Us more than usual, they exchanged their stories.
Ron, using the real past, created a story appropriate to this world.
We, on the contrary, when talking about the past, invented most of the important facts. But Ron knew the whole truth. As soon as Nami started the story, Ron began to hit all inconsistencies and errors. Finally, helpless Nami completely told the truth about Arlong and Kokoyashi.
"... now you know how it was."
Ron, as if expecting this, said with a smile: "I also know some things about Arlong, it is strange to see a person joining them, and even the story of Kokoyashi village. When I proposed to kill Arlong, your reaction confirmed my assumptions."
We said in a gloomy tone: "People cannot defeat such a monster as a fishman. To save Kokoyashi? Is this only possible if the agreement is fulfilled ..."
"What if Arlong doesn't abide by the agreement?"
Ron said muffledly.
I did not raise this topic before. This is due to the fact that he was not even considered a formal companion by Us. Now, after a series of events, there is no need to evade this topic.
Nami raised her head and looked firmly at Ron: "This is not so, Arlong is very strict in his rules, the agreement will certainly be fulfilled ..."
The first half of the phrase was solid, but closer to the end, although it was still loud but the confidence in the voice gradually disappeared.
Ron was silent for a couple of seconds and did not argue about this with Us: "I will help you, I will help you collect 100 million Belly, save your village in the most faithful way."
"But if Arlong, as I expect ... will not abide by the agreement, then I will continue to help you ... I will help you kill Arlong!"
Nami dropped her head and bit her lip, her body trembled slightly, after a while a quiet voice sounded.
"Thanks..."
"Do not thank."
Ron smiled: "You saved my life. Okay, my stomach is empty, it's time to eat."
"Yes."
Nami nodded and stood up.
After some effort, finally discovering Nami's secret, Ron was in a good mood and tried to teach her wind magic. The result was a failure.
Not that the spirit was too weak. The thing is different. Even if Nami successfully creates a magical array in his mind, nothing happens.
Ron thought and quickly found the reason.
The imprint of the Magic Law.
The imprint of the Magic Law in the interface of the profession, this should be one of the keys to magic. Without this imprint, even if Ron's actions are perfectly repeated, magic cannot be used.
It was not possible to teach Us magic, this makes him a little helpless, but evening came and finally the achievement of salted fish was completed.
After receiving 1 OD, Ron immediately began to practice.
The goal of this practice naturally is to study wind magic in depth. For starters, just a little exercise in the blade of the wind.
Spiritual strength increased significantly, so after a short practice in the blade of the wind, the speed of his caste became even less than a second.
Reduce speed to such an extent, further reduction is not related to skill. The skill in using this rune is already complete, for further acceleration you can only raise the characterization of the spirit.
Now with a 22-character spirit characterization, Ron has a base to study derivative runes, so he continued to further delve into wind magic.
"The perfect combination of three runes, capable of forming second-order magic. What will the combination of two runes lead to?"
Ron thought about it and decided to give it a try.
Due to the fact that he was extremely skilled in using the main rune, there is nothing complicated in the formation of two identical runes at once. The difficulty is how to combine them.
Which lines should be connected, which lines should be changed. These are the most important questions.
Two points of light are formed in the spiritual world, numerous lines are drawn at high speed and connected in the center.
Real world.
Hit!
The air ahead shook sharply, forming a whirlwind that sent Ron's body directly into the sea.
[Hint: You received an achievement (unexpected fall in the sea), award 1 OD]
Ron launched into the sea was covered by a wave, a signal received from the system made his heart exclaim.
I will not give in to this wave!
Ron surfaced, added OD to the spirit, and swam to the boat. My heart calmed down, not far away.
We heard the movement on the boat and watched the rising Ron with a black face: "... what are you doing here?"
"kha kha, learning magic, something went wrong. There is no reason to worry.
Ron spat out water, smiled at Nami, and went to the stern.
We looked strangely at the departing Ron and shook his head. While observing the weather, another knock was heard.
A couple of boards broke at the stern and Ron's figure flew into the sea.
"No need to worry about anything !!"
Ron quickly returned and coughing said to Nami: "It was an accident, don't worry, everything is fine, nothing really happened."
Having said that, Ron returned to the stern.
After a few seconds, another knock. This time the ship was not injured, instead, the sea scattered spray in all directions. But Ron, in any case, went flying again.
Thirty seconds later, Ron returned. Facial expression excited. Without saying a word to Us, he again went to the stern.
And then....
Hit!
He flew again.
Seeing this scene, Nami was silent for a long time. Then a not very pleasant feeling flashed in my heart .... this guy should not have any strange inclination, right !?
Ron, of course, did not suspect that Nami had marked him as a "masochist" in her thoughts. Now he is really excited. Due to a repeated accidental fall at sea, another achievement will soon be completed.
An unexpected fall in the sea is associated with two achievements, the first "unexpected fall in the sea" and the second "unlucky man", for the second achievement you need to accidentally fall into the sea ten times.
And yet, although the failures continued, Ron began to understand the process step by step. From the thick fog, the correct way to merge the runes is gradually beginning to be seen!
