Chapter 847 - Experimenting on the Floating Island
847 Experimenting on the Floating Island
My date with Shelia is over. I think we defeated too many monsters our date. I hope we didn’t disturb the ecosystem at all with how many tribes were killed by just us two.
And now that the date is over, I told everyone about what I found. The floating island in Monsters World.
“So, that is the island that you told us about. Is there anything special about it?” Lynn asked me.
I brought the kings here to see the floating island. There might be a way for us to utilize that thing since we can move it manually. Though it needs some effort and stamina, it’s possible.
“It floats in the sky. That’s what’s special about it,” I said.
“Is there anything else in that island or is it totally empty?” Lynn asked again.
“It’s empty. Other than some grass and some other plantations growing there. And those are just common plantation that can even be found on Earth as well,” I said.
“Then it’s useless, right? It just floats around in the sky!” Lynn complained.
“That’s not the case though. We can utilize it in various way,” I said.
.....
And not just that, the floating island didn’t float around in the sky. It stays in one spot and never move unless we move it manually. With our own strength.
I tried to pull the island higher in the sky where the wind was so strong. It was before I brought everyone here after my date with Shelia is over. And the result was that even with how powerful the wind was, the island didn’t move at all.
Though we haven’t tested it with magic yet. So maybe a master level wind mage can push the island away.
I told them all about what I knew about that island after experimenting it for a bit.
“Really? You’re right. We can utilize it well. Though we need more experiment,” Albert said.
“For now, we will need to test that island first. Also, for that one island, I suggest that we put it above the Monsters Village. As a landmark so that the cult will come and the monsters can kill them. I think the monsters will be happy. What do you think?”
This time, I asked the representatives of the monsters I brought here. Though Shelia has been here from the start. But the representative for the werewolves is Red. The smartest werewolf in the tribe.
Other than Red, Graham is here as the representative of the angels, Tia for the elves, Tiger for the weretigers, that Centaur who got contracted with the Summoner, and Arin from the vampires. Even if the vampires don’t live in that village.
Though we have made a settlement for them to stay if they want to stay there. Because I know that even the vampires love to compete.
And all the monsters are fine with the floating island to be above the Monsters Village. Now that they can expect more enemies coming their way. Why do they have to be so happy about it?
“We elves can use our magic to create fences from vines. It might not be strong, but if we place it properly, we can face the enemies easier. As for water, we don’t have to worry about getting it poisoned. The lake in the village has the water purified already with the plants we grow. Unless the poison is too strong. But if the poison is too strong, then we can see if the plants are affected. So there’s no need to worry about other ways of attack as they can only fight us directly,” Tia said.
So we decided that whatever the result of the experiment will be, this floating island will be placed above Monsters Village.
“But it’s also useful for other things. For now, let’s experiment with it. Those of you who are not interested, I will bring you home,” I said.
Several kings returned home, but Albert and some others stayed behind. As for the mages, they will stay here. Seems like they also know what good things can this island be used for.
First experiment is to see if a wind mage can use their wind to move the island. So we had Shirley, Wendy, Kron, Angela, and even Veronica who rarely go out to push the island with their magic.
First, it was Kron alone. But the island didn’t move. Then Shirley, Wendy, Angela, and Veronica tried it together. Pushing the island to one direction. But they all failed. 𝘧𝘳𝑒ℯ𝔀𝘦𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝗹. co𝐦
“So even wind magic won’t push that island away. Angela, don’t use offensive magic yet,” I said to Angela who wanted to attack the island without instruction.
So to move it, we need to push it with our strength. And so, we asked Kron alone to move the island.
He’s a master level mage, so he’s strong. But he needed a lot of his strength to push the island just a bit. I think just me alone moving it will be more efficient.
As for expert level mage, we had Angela and Veronica tried it by pulling the Blobbyropes I attached before. Just the two of them combined resulted in just a slight move. So a master level mage alone is better than two expert level mages moving them.
We had other expert level mages, but only those two can fly tried. Though maybe if we attach Blobbyropes on pegasus, we can have sky horse carriage.
“And then I will wear a white beard and go Yo-Ho-Ho through the night,” Victoria added.
That’s one of the most famous fictional character in her world that I keep hearing about from her. The one that only appear once a year. A scary old man who knows all little children’s secrets.
Anyway, we’re done experimenting on how we can move the island. Next is if we can add more area on the island.
“Angela, bring a lot of soil from the ground. As much as you can, then fly to that island to add it. Put it on the edge of the island and see if the new soil can make the island bigger or not,” Albert said.
Angela then fly while carrying a huge ball of soil. She split it in two and I who was there use my hand to try and fix the soil to the island. And I fail. The soil fall to the ground.
“Let me try,” Angela said.
Then she used magic to mix the soil she brought and the ground on the island. The result was positive. So we returned back to where Albert was.
“We can add more area on the island with the help of an earth mage. Though I don’t know if there’s a limit to it or not,” I said.
“That’s amazing! Do you know what I’m thinking?” Albert asked.
“That we can have earth mage attack from the sky. They can stay in that island and use their magic by using the ground of the floating island. Though we need to learn more about it,” I said.
Utilizing this floating island, we can have earth mages fight in the sky. That will be helpful.
Earth mage is the one with an obvious weakness compared to other. Because they can’t produce soil by themselves. They need to use the soil from the ground, rocks, or probably other type of minerals.
Fire, ice, wind, and even lightning mages, can produce fire, ice, wind, or lightning. But only earth mage have to be somewhere in the presence of the earth to use magic.
“No matter what, if we find another floating island, we will go and get it already. Then we won’t have to worry about attack from the sky,” I said.
“Alright. Then, next experiment. Shirley, use Wind Slash on that island. Just on the edge and not the center,” Albert said.
The result was amazing. Even with a Wind Slash from a master level mage, only a bit of the soil got chipped off. Which means that this floating island will be a good defense against wind mages. And if we have earth mages on this floating island, they can attack or defend easily.
“Well, I think that’s all the experiment we need. The result was great. Is there anything else?” Albert asked.
“Yeah. My portal. I’d like to see if I can open a portal big enough for this island. I have opened a big portal before, but not this big. So I want to see if I can transport this island or other floating islands with portal,” I said.
If we can do that, then we can have bases in the sky for defense. And they can be used as watchtower as well.
Then I brought everyone to the the floating island as I stood at the edge and opening a portal. Sonia was there above Monsters Village with a Blobby. That’s where I will open the portal.
Concentrate. It’s just opening a portal. Bigger than usual.
And I did it. I think I wasted a lot of mana doing it. And I can’t open it longer than thirty seconds.
“Well, that works. Let’s go back then. I’ll get the werewolves and weretigers help me tomorrow to take this island to their village,” I said.
If I do more, then I won’t have enough mana to return everyone. So I will move it tomorrow.
And with that my next action is decided. During the exploration for my next contracted monster, I will try to find more floating island like this.
A portal big enough for this one floating island can open for just thirty seconds. I hope the other islands won’t be as big.
Though we can just make it smaller. Then we will ask Angela and the others to make the island bigger. Problem solved.
