Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

Page 149

Their plight is the one that most needs to be addressed.

Rudius, on the other hand, did not seem to have any material problems, and appeared to be as depressed as ever.

Shirou could easily imagine that Rudeus had never been a strong person. Although he had tried to appear strong under Shirou's influence, he would probably not be able to hold on if his family members were to disappear without a trace.

Shirou was quite helpless about this, after all, he knew that his younger brother was just like that, and a person's personality is ultimately not easy to change.

Of course, Shirou wasn't worried about Rudeus. Rudeus was already a Saint-level mage before, and after so much time, he might have reached the King level. It was hard to imagine anyone threatening him.

The biggest problem is Senis, who, for some reason, is trapped in a seemingly deep and mysterious maze-like cave.

Moreover, judging from her situation, Senis seems to have been sealed by some kind of magic.

This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous situation. If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Eye still posed a risk of going out of control, he would have loved to use his clairvoyance to find Senis's whereabouts immediately and rescue her.

The other person is in equally dangerous danger; for some reason, he has been imprisoned and looks like he could be executed at any moment.

Shirou then began to try every possible way to control his Mystic Eyes.

Rajirud seemed to have some experience in this regard, as the ruby ​​on his forehead was an organ similar to a third eye.

With the help of Rigel, Shirou gradually gained control of the Mystic Eyes and found that it was not difficult. Perhaps because Shirou already possessed the Hawkeye, his control over the Clairvoyant Eyes was not complicated.

The only problem is that, without losing control, the telescope can no longer see the desired scene as accurately as before.

Moreover, there are also distance limitations.

Shirou tried his best to look, but in the end he could only see Alice on the other side of the city, clashing with demons from time to time.

If he weren't in a berserk state, with his current abilities, he wouldn't be able to see the other people on the other side of the world.

This means that Shirou needs to continue honing his skills before he can improve the level of his Mystic Eyes.

Even so, Shirou's original Hawkeye was greatly enhanced by acquiring Clairvoyance.

Shirou can even see areas that are obscured but invisible to the naked eye, greatly improving his shooting accuracy, as if he has a cheat code for seeing through walls.

He suspected that his archery skills had also improved and leaped forward as a result.

It was under these circumstances that the appointed time arrived for Shirou's meeting with Giles, the smuggler he had previously met. He was now able to board a ship and leave Winnport for the continent of Milis.

Chapter 208 Alice: Brother, where are you? I feel so bad!

Shirou and his companions met with Giles, a smuggler, again. Before leading them onto the ship, Giles made the same request as before.

The content of the entrustment is not complicated.

First, Giles will put Shirou and the others on a smuggling ship, but Rachel must board as a slave, not only to prevent his Spelud identity from frightening others, but also to carry out his plan to rescue the trapped people.

If Rigellud boards the ship as a slave, he will be taken to a similar location, allowing Shirou to work with Rigellud to easily rescue all those captured by the smuggling organization.

After confirming the plan several times, Shirou felt that there was nothing wrong with the commission; in fact, it could be considered a righteous act of punishing evil and promoting good.

Although I don't understand why a smuggler would be so kind, since the other party is willing to trade the right to cross the sea for this condition, there's nothing wrong with it.

Furthermore, Shirou has complete confidence in his and Rigel's abilities; no matter what crisis or trouble they face, the two of them are sure to be able to resolve it.

Yes, Shirou didn't plan to ask Alice to come along; he planned to carry out the request by himself and Rigdl alone.

Alice had to stay at the inn and wait.

Although Alice herself wanted to complain about this, neither Rigdl nor Shirou wavered in the slightest. No matter how dissatisfied Alice was, she could not change the reality.

After confirming everything, Giles led them onto the smuggling boat.

Before boarding the ship, Giles tied Rajirud up and covered his head with a paper bag, confirming his status as a slave.

"Come on board."

The smuggler wasn't one of Giles's men. He mistakenly thought Shirou and Alice wanted to smuggle the demon, and because Rigel was wearing a hood, he couldn't recognize him.

Once aboard the boat, Shirou discovered several people inside wearing burlap sacks.

Judging from their size, there shouldn't be any children; there are both men and women, and they are mostly demons.

These smugglers are probably involved in smuggling demons.

Shirou was somewhat displeased with this behavior, because he could easily imagine how smugglers acquired demon slaves.

But at least there were no demon children inside.

After all, if it involves child trafficking, then it is a pure crime.

Shirou could not tolerate that kind of crime either.

Meanwhile, after confirming that Shiro and the others had boarded the ship, the smugglers signaled to the small boat.

The boat had no oars or sails; it was propelled by magic from the man at the bow. The small boat silently began to sail into the pitch-black sea at night.

This must be water magic.

Shirou knows some magic, and he thinks that if he knew the sailing route, he might be able to do the same thing.

……

Time flies after we leave port.

Shirou would occasionally remove his eyepatch and intermittently try to use the Clairvoyant, in order to further adapt to this overly powerful magical eye.

However, controlling the ability to see far and wide proved to be extremely difficult.

Shirou often fails to see what he wants to see.

Even those with superhuman vision can sometimes go berserk.

For example, sometimes he would suddenly see Alice changing clothes and going to the toilet, which would scare Shirou so much that he almost gouged out his own eyes, finding it hard to believe that he would do something so contrary to his role as the older brother.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Shirou can still control Clairvoyance to some extent.

As long as he is within a certain range, he can see the scene he wants to see.

He tested it out and found that the range was about half the size of the Demon Continent, allowing him to freely observe different scenes in different regions from various angles and ranges.

However, the effect of clairvoyance only lasts for a few seconds.

fleeting.

Otherwise, it will put a huge burden on the brain.

Since he didn't know anyone in the Demon Continent, Shirou didn't use his Clairvoyance very often.

Until one day, he unexpectedly discovered Luo Qixi's figure in the Demon Continent.

Shirou then realized that Loki's destination when she boarded the ship was actually the Demon Continent. She might have been going home to visit her family, or she might have arrived at the Demon Continent for some other purpose.

But I missed the chance to meet them.

This unexpected situation left Shirou feeling rather uneasy, as if some strange, almost fate-like force was influencing him.

But there's nothing he can change, because he can't possibly turn his ship around now and go back to the Demon Continent to meet Luo Qixi.

While Shirou was researching the Clairvoyance technique, Alice wasn't idle either.

For example, she would vomit into the bucket almost every day.

Alice didn't have any major problems when she first boarded the ship, but after a few days on the ship, she developed obvious seasickness.

Shirou doesn't have healing magic, and there aren't any ingredients on the ship to make a medicinal soup to prevent seasickness.

He could only occasionally let Alice lie on his lap and use her as a knee pillow to comfort her.

In addition, Shirou also experienced a fierce battle with monsters on the ship.

The incident began when an octopus monster became entangled on the deck of a ship. No one on board could handle it, and at the critical moment, Shirou had to step in and kill the octopus monster with a single sword strike.

This also revealed Shirou's strength as the Sword of Light and the Sword Saint.

"I never expected you to become a sword saint at such a young age. You are truly remarkable."

Giles praised Shirou with words that were hard to believe were genuine.

Shirou did not respond to this, but silently experienced the feeling of actual combat.

Through the battle, he realized more and more that he needed to go to the Holy Land of Swords as soon as possible to cultivate a higher level of Sword God Style, as his current swordsmanship had reached a clear bottleneck.

After resolving the monster problem, Shirou returned and met Alice again.

The latter was so seasick that he was almost delirious, and even vomited until there was nothing left in his stomach but gastric juices.

"It hurts so much... Brother, where are you..."

Alice, unconscious, searched for Shirou's embrace.

"Alice..."

Shirou rarely saw a girl so vulnerable. He inexplicably recalled Miyu when they first met. Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, he immediately hugged Alice and noticed tears streaming down her face.

"Will I... die...?"

"Of course not, I will definitely protect you."

Shirou tried to comfort Alice with words.

Although he himself felt that Alice was making a mountain out of a molehill, that a person wouldn't die from seasickness, it was clear that Alice had lost her willpower to an unbearable degree.

However, words clearly offer no comfort.

Left with no other choice, Shirou simply took out Avalon and activated the healing magic barrier within it.

Although this will further deplete the magic power of the magic stones inside the degraded version of Avalon, and may cause the protective barrier of the scabbard to fail at crucial moments in the future, it is definitely worth it if it can make Alice feel better right now.

"Huh...huh..."

As expected, Alice's condition improved somewhat after Shirou unsheathed his sword.

She then looked uneasy and muttered, "This thing must be very precious, is it okay to use it to treat seasickness like this?"

Once Alice regained some of her thinking ability, she immediately realized how wasteful Shirou's actions were.

Shirou responded nonchalantly, "If a tool cannot protect the people I want to protect, it is meaningless, no matter how precious it is. On the contrary, as long as it can be used to help important people, it has value."

"An important person..."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Alice's face suddenly turned bright red.

Her ears even turned red.

"Alice, what's wrong?"

Shirou thought Alice was feeling unwell again and quickly asked her with concern.

"No, don't look at me!!"

Alice forcibly drove Shirou away.

With the help of Avalon's barrier, Alice did indeed feel much better.

Shirou was relieved and simply left the cabin and went outside.

For some reason, when he left, a clear look of disappointment appeared on Alice's face. Thanks to his clairvoyance, Shirou was able to perceive these small details more clearly.

He couldn't understand it, but he didn't pay much attention to it and left quietly.

……

After sailing for several days, the ship finally arrived at the continent of Milis.

As soon as she stepped off the boat, Alice immediately perked up and shouted, "It's finally over! I never want to take a boat again!"

"No, we have to take another trip when traveling from the continent of Milis to the central continent."

Shirou poured a bucket of cold water on the spot.

A clear look of sadness appeared on Alice's face.

Incidentally, in the past few days, Alice has used up almost all of the magic stones inside Avalon in order to cure her seasickness.

Shirou couldn't even activate the Avalon Barrier in a short period of time.

After that, we'll probably need to replenish our magic stones on the continent of Milis.

Thinking of this, Shirou became hopeful about the towns on the continent of Milis. After all, this was human territory, and if he could find a branch of the Asura Kingdom's bank, Shirou could directly retrieve his large fortune.

That way, not only can Avalon be replenished with magic stones, but the nearly broken Golden Sword of Victory can also be repaired, and even weapons can be forged for Rijrud.

"let's go."

Shirou walked toward the town with a rare sense of anticipation.
