1091 He Will Show Lantisde The Right Way!
What is this? How could a normal human being display such a terrifying power? In this deep sea, is it possible that even I am not a match for him? Numerous questions flashed across Elizabeth’s mind, and they all were shocking to her.
Her understanding of a human being’s power maximum limit was totally subverted at this very moment.
Yabemiya finally managed to close her mouth. She gulped, and said, “If I didn’t remember wrongly, the thing that Gina said threatened Lantisde’s survival is that big shark with a hole in its head right down there, right?”
“Yes. It looks exactly like how Big Sister Gina had drawn.” Anna nodded before looking at Mag with adoration, and said, “Uncle Mag, you did it. You saved this town exactly like how Big Sister Gina drew.”
“I knew it. Father is the most formidable.” Amy grabbed Mag’s arm happily with a smug expression on her face. She looked out and suddenly froze. She pointed out there, and said, “Isn’t that Big Sister Gina? Is she here to welcome us?”
Mag looked over when he heard that. Gina was following behind an old merman who was wearing a black cape. They were swimming toward the submarine.
Gina and the old merman stopped about 100 meters away from the glowing object. They placed their hands over their chests and bowed respectfully before the old one said, “Esteemed Spirit, I am Dexter, the high priest of Lantisde, your most faithful believer. I thank you for the people of Lantisde.”
“It’s the high priest and Princess Gina!”
“Are they here to welcome the Holy Spirit!?”
“Then, we shall quickly do so too!”
The merfolk of Verell soon noticed the arrival of the high priest and Gina. They, too, rapidly bowed respectfully toward the submarine in the midst of their surprise.
Gina is the princess of the Merfolk. That old merman seems to have an even higher status than Gina. However, what is he talking about? I have no inkling at all, so what do I do now? Mag heard that merman, but he had only heard him. He didn’t understand him at all.
Mag scratched his head. The language barrier was a big headache. If things continued smoothly, he would most likely have to negotiate with this old merman about the setup of the fishery. The language barrier would be his greatest obstacle. After all, not every merfolk was as innocent as Gina.
“Unknown language detected. Collection of the language samples in progress…
“Sufficient samples collected. a.n.a.lysis in progress…
“a.n.a.lysis of the language samples collected complete. The language was successfully deciphered. Loading into the language vault. Do you need simultaneous interpretation?”
Right at this moment, the electronic voice spoke out again.
“Huh?”
Mag was stunned as he stared at the red “confirm” b.u.t.ton that was blinking in front of him. His eyes lit up instantly. He hadn’t expected this submarine to have the language learning and simultaneous interpretation function.
But, Mag quickly regained his wits. He unhappily said in his heart, “System, you could’ve already f*cking translated the Merfolk’s language a long time ago, right?”
He thought back on how he had to communicate with Gina daily using hand gestures for the past few weeks. He even had to guess for the simplest interactions, and it was a very difficult process. In the end, a simple simultaneous interpretation function of the system could have solved the problem.
Mag was dumbfounded.
“┓( ́∀` )┏” System. “The Host didn’t take the initiative to ask.”
“I…” Mag raised his eyebrows. In this case, he had indeed forgotten about the first rule that he could alway ask the System whenever he encountered a problem.
“Huh? What did it just say? Father, did you hide a little elf here?” Amy scanned around, trying to find where the voice came from.
“I heard something about simultaneous interpretation. But, what is that?” Yabemiya said with confusion.
Everyone looked toward Mag. This was made by Mag. The unbelievable speed and the ability to observe the underwater world safely had already awed them.
“It’s just a little invention. Now we can understand what the merfolk are saying.” Mag shrugged as he tapped on the “confirm” b.u.t.ton for simultaneous interpretation calmly.
“Esteemed Spirit, I am Dexter, the high priest of Lantisde, your most faithful believer…” The high priest’s voice appeared again, but this time, it was translated into the continent’s common tongue.
“Esteemed Spirit?” Mag c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. This high priest of Lantisde seemed to have mistaken something.
Gina had always called him the Chosen One. It seemed like the high priest had mistaken him for a G.o.d after witnessing his earlier actions.
“We can really understand them now. But Father, why is he calling us Esteemed Spirit? Are we really that formidable?” Amy looked at Mag strangely.
“That is a 10th-tier great magic caster,” Elizabeth said softly as she looked at the high priest. Then, she looked at those merfolk and the little town slightly farther away, a hint of ponder on her face.
She hadn’t expected there really was an unknown merfolk species under the sea, and there was even an unknown number of 10th-tier powerhouses among them.
If the merfolk could escape their shackles at the bottom of the sea, they definitely would have a great impact on the current order on the Norland Continent.
“This should be a person with a high status among the merfolk. He could have mistaken our ident.i.ty,” Mag said to the ladies. “Besides sending Gina home, the purpose of this trip is to set up a supply chain for the Nether Shark’s lips and fins. A dish that is going to debut in the restaurant will need to have these two ingredients. Therefore, I will need the merfolk’s help.”
“Then, why don’t we just ask Big Sister Gina? She will definitely help us because she is one of us,” Amy said smilingly.
“Yes. Gina is awfully nice. She will definitely provide the ingredients for the restaurant.” Miya nodded too.
“Gina is not able to decide about this.” Mag shook his head as he looked at the pious-looking high priest. ” He should be the one who can call the shots.”
“Then, what do we need to do now?” Elizabeth asked Mag.
The Nether Sharks were a very powerful existence to the merfolk. It wasn’t a reasonable request to ask them to risk their lives to catch the Nether Sharks for the restaurant. Hence, Gina indeed wasn’t in the position to decide.
The high priest was standing there respectfully with hooded eyes.
“High Priest—” Gina wanted to speak after waiting for a long time for the glowing object to reply.
The high priest raised his hand, and softly said, “Let’s wait quietly.”
Gina swallowed her words and lowered her head. She didn’t attempt to talk anymore.
“Since he is already mistaken, let’s bring this mistake up a notch.” A smile appeared on Mag’s lips. He turned the lights’ effects to the maximum, and tuned the voice changer to the Holy Man mode. He gestured the ladies to keep quiet as he tapped open the microphone of the simultaneous interpretation.
“Let’s skip the formalities. My Chosen One is already waiting for you on the surface of the sea. He will show Lantisde the right way!”
