生存者 ジュリー

It seems a bit cold... Hmm, this clothing is still not warm enough.

Oh? Are you not from around here?"

Not long after exploring inside the Barrier, they discovered signs of people.

The young man, who had taken measures to protect himself from the cold, greeted you and Babama with a warm smile that contrasted strongly with the icy surroundings.

"Did you just escape here recently? It must have been tough on the way here, but you don't have to worry anymore! Barrier will protect us, so there's no need to keep running!

After you and Babama revealed your identities and purpose, the young man was first surprised, then became even more enthusiastic.

"Oh, so you're here to find Aislan! You must be the people Aislan mentioned before who can solve the current problem!"

"My name is Shuli, and I'm glad you could come!"

"Go southwest from here, and then go north when you reach the area where Wood Elves appear. You'll see our campsite."

When you first saw Barrier, you thought the situation was very severe, but Shuli didn't seem to feel any sense of danger. It seems unexpectedly peaceful here?

"We were also uneasy before, but we have a great leader."

"Aislan told us how to maintain the safety of the campsite. With Barrier and you here, there's nothing to worry about, right?"

"It's very safe inside Barrier, so you don't have to worry. Just go straight through!"

"My friend Jim is in charge of watching the campsite. You can say hello to him!

Is it the Sprite Messengers? Are you here to complete Aislan's commission? Thank you for your hard work!

%n%! What are you doing here? Are you looking for something?" Shuli greets you energetically with a wave.

"Aislan asked you to find the Frost Floating Stone?"

"I know where the Frost Floating Stone is. Let me take you there!"

You thought Shuli had to stay at this location.

"It's safe inside the Barrier. I'm not here to guard this place specifically. I was just wandering around here because I wanted to find some supplies outside the Barrier. Don't worry, I'll take you there!

I'll think about it for a moment."

"The nearest Frost Floating Stone should be at Snowpeak Goat Pass (735, 876)."

"Continue heading north and you'll see a curved slope that leads to the Frost Floating Stone!"

Shuli enthusiastically points out the exact direction for you.

How about it? Have you seen the Frost Floating Stone? It's right above Snowpeak Goat Pass (735, 876)!

After seeing the Frost Floating Stone, you temporarily returned to a location with buildings that could withstand the cold due to Shuli's complaints about being cold.

"How is it? It's huge, right?"

"By the way, how did you manage to fight those monsters?"

Aislan had instructed to clear the monsters around the Frost Floating Stone, but it seemed that the survivors were not required to do so.

Perhaps it was due to differences in combat abilities or other reasons, you did not mention Aislan's orders, only that there were so many monsters and it was dangerous for the survivors here.

"Hey, %n%, it's really interesting. Don't worry!"

"You saw the Frost Floating Stone just now, right?"

It was a huge and incredible rock, and you could feel the powerful energy it contained.

"Aislan said that the rock would maintain the existence of the barrier."

"I used to worry about it and observed it for a while, but as the barrier appeared for a longer time, the Frost Floating Stone also grew bigger."

"Aislan said that it was because the cold environment formed by the barrier had a strengthening effect on the Frost Floating Stone, and the stronger the Frost Floating Stone, the stronger the barrier."

"This is the strongest protection Sprite has given us to resist danger!

There are two more Frost Floating Stones, the second one is in the Freeze Temple!"

"The bridge towards the temple was broken when the Barrier formed, but Aislan set up a teleportation stone for crossing. Only those who can use Sprite power can cross."

"After passing Snowpeak Goat Pass, you will see the broken bridge. After crossing it, you can find the Freeze Temple and Frost Floating Stone (1041, 1078)!

The second Frost Floating Stone is located in the Freeze Temple (1041, 1078).

"Use the teleportation stone to cross the broken bridge in the north and continue heading north to find it!

Although Shuli said it wasn't necessary, you still cleared the monsters around Frost Floating Stone.

"I told you it wasn't necessary! As long as the Barrier is still up, we're perfectly safe here."

But what if the Barrier goes down?

"Haven't I explained it already? The Frost Floating Stone's effect continuously strengthens the Barrier's existence. We're absolutely safe here!"

Shuli looked in the direction outside the Barrier, fell silent for a moment, then continued.

"%n% just arrived at the border and doesn't know about our situation before..."

"The Carso sect and Erosion came together and captured people, saying they were going to send them to the ancient polar region..."

"To be honest, I don't want to experience that kind of terror again. Nothing is more important than our current safety."

"I really don't want anyone to face that kind of terror again. Everyone has worked hard enough. Let's just wait for Save here."

"With Sprite's protection and now that you and Sage have come here, we will definitely be saved!

The last Frost Floating Stone is in the direction of the camp. I'll tell you the location, go and see it yourself!"

"Go southwest from the camp to the area where Devil Flowers appear (269, 361). You've already seen what the Frost Floating Stone looks like, so you should be able to find it quickly."

"I have something to do around here, so I won't go with you."

What else is there?

"I'm looking for usable supplies, but I've already searched most of the Barrier. I probably need to go out and look for more..."

"%n%, Aislan's instructions should still take priority!"

"After you've seen all the Frost Floating Stones, you can go back and find Aislan, okay? Good luck!

Magic wolves, those wolves...

Shuli seems to be injured, and judging from the wound, it was caused by the magic wolves outside the barrier.

Let's first drive away the magic wolves and then come back to check on Shuli's condition.

%n%!"

Shuli was injured and the Survivor who was with them had already helped treat the wounds. It didn't seem life-threatening, but Shuli couldn't move for the time being.

"Thank you for driving away those wolves... Those monsters were originally afraid to approach the Barrier, how could this happen..."

"Suddenly it seems like they're not afraid of the Barrier anymore, and it's not as cold inside as it used to be. The nearby Cloud Sheep and Wood Elves are more irritable than before."

Whether it was because of the pain from the wound or some other reason, Shuli was trembling slightly.

"What happened to the Barrier? And what will happen to us next?

...%n%, did Aislan make you do something to Frost Floating Stone?

Shuli quickly thought of this direction, knowing that you were previously looking for Frost Floating Stone.

...No, that's not possible. Those rocks are the foundation of the Barrier and cannot be moved. Aislan told everyone that.

Enduring the pain, Shuli shook her head repeatedly and interrupted you before you could say anything.

There are other survivors in other parts of the Barrier. We need to tell them that there's a problem and get everyone back to the camp quickly...

There are two near Snowpeak Goat Pass (680, 790) and one on the other side of the broken bridge (880, 933). Please go and inform them as soon as possible!

The Barrier is no longer safe. We can't wander around inside it like before. We need to spread this message to others.

There are still several Survivors nearby. Two of them are near Snowpeak Goat Pass (680, 790), and one is on the other side of the broken bridge (880, 933). Please go and inform them as soon as possible!

Everyone has been notified.

After completing the task of notifying, Shuli remained silent.

It was not just the issue of being bitten by the magic wolf, but also more on a psychological level.

"Actually, it was you and that Sage who said something to Aislan, right? That's what happened!" Shuli suddenly raised her voice.

"In fact, you wanted to tamper with the Barrier--" You tried hard to explain Shuli's doubts about hurting the Survivors here.

"It wasn't you guys! How could Aislan...how could he possibly give instructions to destroy the Barrier!" You couldn't answer Shuli's question.

You also wanted to know why.

I'm sorry, %n%, I said something rude to you."

After a while, Shuli calmed down.

"Please forgive me... I have something to ask you."

"I collected these supplies, but I can't bring them back to My Injury now. Can you help me bring them back to everyone in the camp?"

Is there anything else you want to ask?

"No, I don't have anything else to ask.

Hey %n%, have you finished dealing with Aislan?"

No, has Shuli finished the task she said she would stay here for?

"I'm here. Hmm, still investigating but I have some leads!"

"Oh, and %n%, if you're going back to the camp, can you tell Wyatt for me? I've searched all over the Barrier, but I'll try the last place!"

"I made an appointment with Wyatt to report the progress to him, but I think he'll stop me if I go back now. So, can you help me out?"

Shouldn't you avoid doing something that will be stopped?

Please! Can you help me tell Wyatt?"

"Oh, it's okay if you don't come back so soon after you go!

When you rushed back, Shuli had already packed up and was ready to go.

"Oh, you're back so soon?!"

"The Sprite Messengers are really fast..."

Wyatt instructed you to stop him from leaving Barrier.

"But I've searched everywhere I could inside Barrier. The only places left are the ones we passed through when we were evacuating...

What exactly is this thing that you're so eager to find?

"Something very important, a beautiful necklace with a crescent-shaped pendant."

Such a small thing may be difficult to find.

"We have to try..."

"Otherwise, could you help me find it, %n%? Please!"

"We escaped from the southeast, where Carso's cult is now based."

Did Shuli really think of going there, such a dangerous place, alone?

"I mean, there may be no way to avoid the monsters, but maybe I can disguise myself and sneak in among the people..."

Or maybe you should go. In any case, find those guys from Carso's cult and see if they've seen the necklace.

Go find the Carso cult member who wanders around the border and ask them about the whereabouts of the necklace.

Did you also not find %n%?"

Shuli was very frustrated.

"Did you search carefully?"

You believed that no one would hide anything from you with the way you searched.

"Then where could it have gone... It doesn't make sense for it to just disappear. It couldn't have been hidden somewhere...

Shuli's soliloquy gave you some inspiration.

Is it possible that the item was taken by nearby monsters and hidden in a hard-to-find place?

"Let me see... Ah!"

"I got it! I remember that Wood Elves have a habit of burying things underground. Maybe it was hidden by a Wood Elf nearby!"

"I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier... Let's search the area again and dig up all the soil that looks disturbed!"

"The soil that has been moved by Wood Elves will be easier to dig up. Let's split up and search with my Ice Scraper. Don't forget to return it to me later!"

Shuli, filled with renewed hope, immediately set out to dig up the ground.

You should also search nearby (461, 544).

Perhaps the necklace was buried by the Wood Elf!

I'll search over here, %n%, you search over there (461, 544). Let's see if we can find it!

Successfully found the necklace, but you were also startled.

You didn't expect the necklace to be buried by the largest Wood Elf in the area, which means you have to defeat the magic crystal Wood Elf that has absorbed a lot of nutrients to get the necklace.

"I didn't expect such a big Wood Elf to appear. Thank you, %n%!"

Holding the crescent necklace, Shuli was very happy.

"I finally found it. Fara will be very happy."

Isn't this Shuli's thing?

"It's Fara's thing."

Shuli wiped the necklace clean and checked for any damage.

"Fara... a lot happened on the way here. I think she would really want to get this necklace back.

Can you help me return this necklace to Fara, %n%?"

Why don't you return it to her yourself?

"Well... when I found out her necklace was missing, I said I would go look for it, but both she and Wyatt objected."

"I'm afraid she'll hit me if I return it, so please help me out!

Did you send the necklace back to Fara?"

"How was she? Was she happy?

Did Fara get the necklace? How is she feeling?"

You conveyed Fara's gratitude.

"That's great! I knew she would want it back!"

In addition, Fara had a lot to say.

"Huh?"

You couldn't be the only one to suffer through her long-winded instructions.

You did your best to relay Wyatt and Fara's ramblings to Shuli, forcing him to listen to the end.

Seeing his pained expression, you felt a little better.

%n%, I heard that Manta Fowl is edible!"

Out of nowhere, Shuli suddenly blurted out.

Nowadays, Erosion is severe outside, and things that were once edible may no longer be safe to eat.

"What you said makes sense, but I also heard that there are ways to remove Erosion contamination... If it's feasible, there will be more food sources available!"

"Anyway, can I ask you to bring me some Manta Fowl Meat? I want to try it!"

Which kind of Manta Fowl meat do you want?

"Both! I plan to try both types of Manta Fowl meat!

I heard that Manta Fowl Meat is very delicious! Although I haven't tried it, I would like to give it a try if it can successfully remove Erosion!

The two types of Manta Fowl Meat brought back were quickly put into experimentation by Shuli.

The results of the experiment also came out quickly.

The processed Manta Fowl Meat emitted strange-colored smoke, making it look even more like something that couldn't be eaten.

"Weird, is this not working--"

Well, it's better to give up.

"It's okay, I still have many other recipes to try! Keep trying! Failure is the mother of success, right!"

Indeed, there is such a saying, but no one says that failure always leads to success.

To avoid getting caught up in it again, you ran away.
