Everything Went Smoothly
Meanwhile, on the exploration force's side, the hot-air balloon's follow-up fuel had been delivered. Once refueled, the hot-air balloon soon took off again.
The operators had long since become thoroughly familiar with this work. With the power of True Words reinforcing them, there naturally weren't any mishaps.
The hot-air balloon flew fairly steadily to Dashan on the opposite shore. An observer leaned out of the bamboo basket and activated Eye of Insight, beginning to observe the conditions below and in the surrounding area.
"We haven't found any large forces. There are signs of primitive tribes living near the foot of the mountain."
At this point, the observer's voice paused.
"We've discovered primitive tribes along the coastal region."
Maintaining Eye of Insight, the observer continuously described everything he saw. At the same time, another observer in the bamboo basket took on the responsibility of recording, quickly writing down everything they discovered.
To cast True Words with relative ease, one's Mental attribute had to reach at least three stars.
But setting aside races as exceptionally talented as the Elf race, this wasn't a simple matter for ordinary humans.
Under these circumstances, if quality couldn't make the grade, they could only make up for it with quantity.
The simplest method was to arrange for two observers who possessed Eye of Insight, allowing them to alternate between observing and recording.
Trees blocked their view in the forests. Even flying through the air with Eye of Insight active, they couldn't see clearly, so the observers' primary observation area remained the coastal region. After sweeping through it once and dispelling True Words, they turned back toward the hot-air-balloon operator.
"Can we fly over this mountain and take a look at the other side?"
Hearing this, the operator, who had already checked the fuel,
