Chapter 314
(314) Unwanted gem
Translator: Tseirp
And so, with seven carrots as the final price, Centaur would probably meet up with Jofre and Elize safely .
I carried the defeated dragon to My World . After all, I couldn’t carry it out of the cave .
“Master . I don’t see any dragon treasure . ”
“You’re right . But I can imagine where the treasures are hidden . ”
I said and looked up at the frozen underground lake .
That’s right, the underground lake — the bottom of Lake Landau .
I felt that the treasure would be there .
“I’ll dive into the lake once we exit . ”
“No, there is no need for that . We have somebody who is great with salvaging so we can just leave it to them . ”
True to their words, Haru and Carol led the way back and we returned to the surface without a hitch .
I had Haru and Carol carry the dragon horns and run to the village .
That should ease the fear that the villagers had .
While we went on to treasure hunting .
There were a large number of Sugyu in the shallows of Lake Landau but the center portion was deeper so there wasn’t a single Sugyu there . We rode on a boat that Pionia made in My World and moved to the center of the lake .
Like before, I used Hawk’s Eye and searched the Lake depths — and found a hole to the side .
“Now it is Sheena No . 3’s turn to shine desu!”
“Yeah, salvaging is your forte! I leave it to you, Sheena No . 3! Find those treasures . ”
“Leave it to me desu! I will become the pirate king desu!”
She said incomprehensible things as usual .
This was a lake, not a sea .
Well, it’s good that she’s fired up .
Sheena No . 3 jumped into the lake with a rope tied around her .
Then — I felt the signal and pulled her back in .
“I caught it desu! Master, there is plenty of sh.e.l.lfish here desu!”
Sheena No . 3 proudly showed me a ton of rock oyster-like sh.e.l.lfishes .
” … Aren’t you supposed to be looking for treasure?”
“Treasure … . ? Ah, I only heard half of the first letter . ”
“Half of the first letter certainly meant sh.e.l.lfish but that can’t be understood without writing it out . At least listen to the words . ”
I definitely can’t have such a conversation with Haru or Carol .
I unconsciously felt some slight joy in wordplay using j.a.panese like that .
For now, I’ll try farming those oysters in My World .
Since they are freshwater oysters, should I raise them in the spring?
“Now, look for treasures . ”
“Understood desu!”
Sheena No . 3 dived into the lake .
Then, this time it took her 5 minutes before I received the signal .
I pulled the rope .
And hoisted her up .
“I caught it desu! Master, what is this desu?”
Sheena No . 3 said as she showed me — a right hand!?
Are there pieces of corpses in the lake!?
“Eh? That’s mechanical — isn’t that just your hand?”
“Yes, I picked it up . ”
“Why is it your hand that you pick up! Here, I’ll fix it back so stay still . ”
I fit Sheena No . 3’s right hand back . I made sure it fit properly .
“Are you all right? I’ll dive if you aren’t feeling well . ”
“Leave it to me desu! Impossible is not in Sheena No . 3’s dictionary!”
“It seems that your dictionary is missing quite some words . ”
I’ll leave it to her since she asked me to .
Sheena No . 3 dived down once again .
Then, after five minutes pa.s.sed .
“I caught it desu!”
“Hey, can’t you come up without saying that every single time?”
“Master, what about this desu!”
“That’s — a turtle! We’re not looking for turtles! You better cut it —”
“An Adamantium Turtle desu!”
“Out — Adamantium Turtle!?”
I used Metal Appraisal to look at the black turtle’s sh.e.l.l .
【Adamantium】
… Yup that sh.e.l.l was unmistakably made of adamantium .
I wonder if Orichalc.u.m would appear as well …
Either way, I acquired one of my goals .
“All right, let’s go back!”
Just as I was saying that .
I noticed a green gem lodged within a crack on the adamantium sh.e.l.l .
I appraised that gem using Gem Appraisal .
Job s.n.a.t.c.hing Gem
By saying the target’s name, you will steal the target’s job and make it your own .
You will be able to use the skills of the job you stole .
The gem will break once the person you stole from dies .
… That was it .
Haa, it would have been good if we didn’t find it .
After that, Sheena No . 3 dived down into the lake a couple more times to investigate .
In the end, she found bags stuffed with gold and gems but did not find another Job s.n.a.t.c.hing Gem .
If only I had multiple Job s.n.a.t.c.hing Gems, I would be able to quit Jobless whenever I wanted to .
“Fufufu, Sheena No . 3 played a big role desu!”
Sheena No . 3 pushed out her chest in pride . Although it was doubtful if she knew what I was feeling .
