Chapter 1085 Father, I Want More!
A merfolk’s lifespan was about 300 years. Gina was already a rare genius among the merfolk, but even she had only just started her training at four years old.This disparity gave the king a chill in his heart.
He had once thought that after leading Lantisde out of the sea and back to the continent, he could establish Lantisde again on Norland Continent, and maybe even join in the fight for the territories.
But after Gina’s words, he gave that thought up completely.
Gina already met five 10th-tier powerhouses when she had only left for a few days. Furthermore, she could see two of them every day. Was the outside world already full of 10th-tier powerhouses?
The world out there was too scary. Lantisde might even have to thank the Cursed Barrier for enabling them to reign peacefully for 1000 years over this part of the world.
All the merfolk were having the same thoughts. Gina’s short explanation had already exposed the great disparity between Lantisde and the outside world. If they had to subject themselves to other species’ rule after leaving the sea, they might as well remain at the bottom of the sea. After all, it was only a simple death when facing off with the scary Nether Sharks.
Gina didn’t know what to do as she faced the crowd’s complete silence. The crowd who was so excited initially was now awestruck. She had no idea what she had said wrongly.
“Mr. Mag and the ladies are all very nice. The people who come to eat at the restaurant are nice too. Everyone is nice,” Gina explained. She could sense the crowd’s fear, but she didn’t know where this fear came from.
Gina’s consolation calmed the crowd down a little.
“Gina, how many of our people can attain the ability to breathe on land with these miracle drugs?” the high priest asked.
No matter how the outside world had evolved, Lantisde was facing an imminent attack from the Nether Sharks. These miracle drugs would at least let some of their people escape the Cursed Barrier and gain the ability to leave Lantisde.
If Ivo City really couldn’t survive the upcoming Nether Vortex Frenzy, then ensuring the continuity of Lantisde would be a very important issue.
“I attained the ability to breathe in air after eating a complete miracle drug set. There are 321 eggsh.e.l.ls here, so at least 321 of our people could attain the ability to breathe in air,” Gina said after giving it some thought.
“Good.” The high priest nodded thoughtfully.
“Gina, did the Chosen One tell us how to handle the Nether Vortex Frenzy?” the king asked after composing himself.
As a king, since he couldn’t lead Lantisde back to its golden age, then the most important issue now was to ensure Lantisde’s survival.
All the merfolk looked toward Gina.
Survival was everyone’s wish.
“Nether Shark! Mr. Mag said he has a solution that can help us chase away the Nether Sharks! He gave me a drawing to show to the high priest.” Gina’s eyes lit up and took out the drawing that Mag gave her earlier from her school swimsuit.
Hope arose in everyone’s eyes. If they could repel the Nether Sharks, at least they could survive.
However, the drawing was disintegrated by the terrible water pressure as soon as Gina took it out.
“This…” Gina looked at the disintegrated drawing in shock.
“It’s no more?”
Everyone was shocked as they glared at the slowly sinking powdered paper and blinked.
If the solution to save Lantisde had disappeared in such an absurd manner, it would be really difficult for them to accept, right?
“It’s okay. I have remembered the drawing, and I can draw it again,” Gina quickly said. She waved her hand; a cloud of white sand flew up from beside the altar, and landed flat on the altar under her instruction. Then, she crouched down and used her finger to draw in the sand.
Two drawings were completed very quickly, and they looked exactly the same as the one Mag gave her.
One of them was showing an object repelling the Nether Sharks with something wavy. The other was showing how a person crushed the Nether Shark’s whirlwind, and then subdued the Nether Shark.
“Did the Chosen One really give this to you?” The high priest couldn’t help but exclaim. Lantisde had been facing off the Nether Sharks for over 1,000 years, but they had never found the solution to crush the Nether Whirlwind. Yet, in these drawings, that person had crushed that vortex so easily. This was simply unbelievable.
The king and queen couldn’t hide their joy. If all these could come true, Lantisde’s impending danger could be resolved.
“Yes. Mr. Mag is up there right now. Father and the High Priest can follow me up to meet him. He is a very nice man and will definitely help us.” Gina nodded.
The high priest clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, “This is fantastic! G.o.d bless Lantisde. He sent the Chosen One here to save us!”
“My Lantisde will longer be under the threat of the Nether Sharks. It’s a great blessing!” the king also said agitatedly.
The merfolk also let out cheers of happiness. The huge burden weighing on all of their hearts was finally lifted.
The High Priest asked, “Gina, how do we take this miracle drug? I want to meet the esteemed Chosen One personally and thank him for bringing hope to Lantisde.”
…
The scrumptiousness blossomed naturally in the mouth after the sas.h.i.+mi was put in.
There wasn’t any fis.h.i.+ness, but instead it had a sweet taste.
The texture of the fish was tender and pleasantly chewy, and after combining with the tastes of soy sauce and wasabi, it got even tastier as it was chewed. The irresistible beautiful taste filled the entire mouth, and it was almost impossible to stop chewing.
The five tastes of fragrant, sweet, granulated, savory, and spicy were combined into one. The wonderful feeling made Mag c.o.c.k his eyebrows. The fresh taste of the sea didn’t need to go through any methods of cooking. It was already a beautiful delicacy on its own.
“Wow… This fish is meant to be made into sas.h.i.+mi.” After swallowing it in a gulp, Mag couldn’t help but sing its praises.
“Is it really so nice? I want to try it too!” Amy was the first to step up.
The others were still observing the situation.
Mag rolled up a piece of sas.h.i.+mi for Amy and fed it to her mouth.
Amy frowned initially as if she was choked by the taste of the wasabi.
However, after chewing another several times, her brows relaxed, and she began to enjoy the chewing. Even her body began to move along gently as she immersed herself into the delicacy.
“Gulp.”
Someone just swallowed her saliva secretly.
“Wow! This sas.h.i.+mi is so delicious! Father, I want more!” Amy swallowed the piece in her mouth before asking Mag for another piece immediately.
“Alright, I’ll get you another one.” Mag obliged. He wrapped another piece of sas.h.i.+mi with wasabi and gave it to Amy with a smile.
“Seems like it’s really delicious. I want to try it too.” Yabemiya swiftly joined the food testers’ camp. She copied the way Mag rolled up the wasabi in the sas.h.i.+mi, and dipped it in soy sauce before putting it into her mouth.
“Oh my heavens! How could a fish taste like this! It’s not fishy at all!” Miya was shocked as she felt the beautiful taste going on a rampage in her mouth.
