Chapter 256: Coral Craftsman of Neruilin Sea
While the night was still going on, Kaharun urged Vifia to rest, and he and Arnold openly asked her to take over the only bed.
As he ran to the stone table and wrote a letter to Isidore, he asked Vifiya, who was already lying down, "What are your plans next?"
Arnold placed a chair against the wall and pulled another one over to use as a footrest. After completing the simple resting place, he also looked at Vifia.
Kaharun's question is indeed a good question for Vifia now.
She turned her body to look at him. The most important thing was to contact her lost friends and deliver Lady Selula's Elf Stone to the Elf King. She had already done it...
Seeing her understanding, Kaharun suggested, "Would you like to join us? Our destination is the Simparai ruins. Tomorrow we'll be heading to the mermaid territory. You'll definitely be attending the Holy Meeting, right?"
Vifiya looked away. Kaharun was right. Given the importance of the Simpalai Holy Order to the alien races of the Western Continent, she would definitely go and take a look.
Especially... after she saw so many things in the remains of the Old Dust Monument.
She hid the deep thought in her eyes.
Isidore was cursed and would be afraid from time to time. Osha still needed to solve the problem of magic stagnation with the elves, so she definitely couldn't be left alone in the Elf King's Court.
Even though she was more inclined to follow Kaharun and the others' route, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that she needed to go back to Osa and the others.
As they were thinking, a magical fluctuation appeared beside Kaharun, and the attention of several people was drawn to him.
He took the letter from the magic circle, quickly read it, and looked up. "Isidore said if you have other plans, don't worry about them. They've already found a solution."
After hearing this, Vifiya thought for a moment. Isidore could say that, which meant he must have discussed it with Osa and had his own considerations. Although she still felt uneasy, she nodded and signaled Kaharun her decision.
The remaining night passed by in a flash as Vifiya closed her eyes.
The early morning light streamed into the room, and Vifiya and Arnold got up one after another. Kaharun had slept very late last night, and was still fighting for sleep.
She expertly found some simple clothes in the suitcase that Isidore had brought her yesterday.
She grabbed her hair and was about to tie it up casually when Arnold found a wooden comb from somewhere and skillfully combed her hair.
He was already very experienced in hair care. After all, he was the one who took care of his sister's hair before. Later, when he became Vifiya's knight, when she did not have a personal maid, it was natural for him to take over the job of hair care.
In front of her was the water mirror that Kaharun had created for her with magic while she was half asleep. Looking at the two ponytails that Arnold had tied for her in the mirror, Vifia suspected that he was still asleep and couldn't help but remind her, "So cute."
Arnold came back to his senses: "Sorry." This was a hairstyle that Bailey would like, and he subconsciously followed the feel of it.
To facilitate movement, he tied her hair into a light hairstyle and put on a black velvet pearl headband.
After helping her clean up, Arnold went downstairs to find something to eat. Usually when they stayed in a hotel, they and the two dwarves ate separately.
Not long after he left the house, there was a knock on the door.
As the only sober person in the room, Vifiya naturally walked over to open the door.
The two dwarves looked up through the open door and saw a strange girl with golden hair.
Brinja was stunned for a moment. She took a step back and said, "Sorry, I knocked on the wrong door."
Sarek pulled her over and said, "We didn't go the wrong way."
Hearing the noise outside the door, Kaharun yawned and walked over sleepily: "Good morning, two masters."
Vifiya only felt something running in quickly from the side, followed by a crisp sound as if her head was slammed hard.
A few birds whose faces could not be seen clearly flew across the blue sky. There was a faint smell of salt in the air, and the sound of waves came from not far away.
The three men and two dwarves walked along the roadside. Arnold took the bamboo basket from Kaharun and put it on his back. Kaharun was about to cry, but he couldn't. He put his hand on his head and cast a healing spell on himself. "Are we the kind of people who would easily lie to a girl? Master, you didn't even ask me first."
Knowing she had wronged him, Brinja waved her hands and apologized without hesitation: "I'm sorry, wasn't I just anxious?"
The Western Continent is extremely open about relationships between opposite sexes. Even the elves, who are known for their elegance, can hold a wedding that night as long as they are attracted to each other and both parties agree. Orcs don't even need to hold a wedding.
Brinka, who has been interested in humans since childhood, considers herself a conservative dwarf and an outsider among the alien race. She agrees more with the human view of marriage, even though the difference between the two is not very big. However, the emphasis humans place on rituals always makes her feel that humans are more cautious in this regard.
However, these were the records she read on the ancient stone tablets, and she had no idea how human concepts had changed today.
But she was really scared in the morning. She thought she had made a mistake one day, but fortunately the two humans did not disappoint her.
Receiving Kaharun's resentful gaze, Vifiya couldn't help but speak: "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't introduce myself first. We are really friends."
"Master, did you hear that? We are good friends! Good friends!" Kaharun wanted to shout to the whole world about the innocence between them. Bringa's misunderstanding was simply too terrible. Who could bear that kind of relationship between him and his good friend being misunderstood?
He was so frightened that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"Yes, yes, good friend, good friend." Bringa said with an apologetic look on her face.
After a misunderstanding, the two dwarves readily agreed to Vifia's request to go with them.
Bringa turned around and asked about whether Vifiya was getting used to life in the Western Continent. Even Sarek showed a kind look on his face.
The blacksmith's unusual friendliness left Kaharun and the other man confused. They were already surprised that he agreed to let Vifiya go with him without any objection.
Kaharun asked honestly, and received the blacksmith's indifferent answer: "Hair."
He looked carefully at his own hair color and Arnold's hair color, one was jujube brown and the other was gray, and then looked at the girl who was invited by the dwarves to walk in front.
The morning light sprinkled on the earth, and Vifia's golden hair was particularly eye-catching, and seemed to be stained with a halo under the glow. In the field of vision, the exquisite metal rings on the dwarves' carefully woven beards were also flashing.
They seemed to understand something.
Before Kaharun could cry out that this was discrimination, Sarek's steady voice rang out: "We're here."
The waves whispered in their ears, and several people stopped and looked up.
The rising sun cast golden fragments on the sea level, but strangely, the blue and gold were clearly separated. The translucent and boundless blue swayed in the breeze, bringing up pieces of foamy gauze at the tail of the waves.
The salty and humid sea breeze blew through Arnold's hair, and his brown eyes were calm.
I really want to go and see the sea of mermaids.
The wishes in my mother's diary flashed through my mind unconsciously.
"From now on, we have entered the Nerelin Sea, the territory of the mermaids." Sarek, taking a rare step forward to explain due to Vifiya's joining, "We need to collect the marrow of the sea-stained flowers to carve the eyes of the colossal statue of the goddess of the Simparai Holy Order."
"Let's go find the coral craftsman Perlin Coralis first." Bringa said, pulling out a starfish from somewhere and hammering it hard.
After a moment, several heads popped out from the sea: "Are you the two great craftsmen?"
Brynja approached with a group of people: "It's us."
Three pairs of eyes scanned the humans following the dwarf, only to find that there was one more person as rumored. They said nothing and gradually approached the shore.
The leading mermaid threw a ball of light at them, and Kaharun caught it and recognized it as a ball of magic.
The mermaid continued, "The thing just now is a ball of magic power containing the magic of entering the sea. It is enough to sustain the breathing of non-merfolk in the deep sea. Human magicians can give it to their companions."
Their meaning was very clear. They would be responsible for the two great craftsmen's entry into the sea, and as for the several humans, they would handle it themselves.
Kaharun checked the magic in the magic ball. The runes were intact and there was no problem.
He nodded to the merpeople.
The mermaids' behavior may seem rude, but in the eyes of the magician, it is the most polite thing to do.
After all, there is no better etiquette than voluntarily handing over the principles of magic runes to them, even if this is a magic that most magicians in the Western Continent know.
The water on the seabed rippled, and five sea bubbles followed the mermaids to stop at a row of conch houses.
The leading merman turned around and said, "Everyone, we're here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Vifia saw Brynja and Sarek quickly take out the white shell pendant and hang it around their necks, and another sea bubble seamlessly connected to the sea bubble made for them by the leading mermaid.
Noticing her curiosity, Brynja chuckled and said, "This is a magical artifact for entering the sea that Perlin gave us."
"Then why not use it in the beginning?" asked Kaharun. After all, in his opinion, this was a bit redundant.
The leader mermaid, who hadn't left yet, answered him, "It's a sign of respect for the master craftsman."
"Blinga, you are here!" A soft voice came.
Brynja's eyes lit up, and she waved to the mermaid swimming over: "Perlin! I'm here!"
A beautiful red-tailed mermaid landed lightly in front of the dwarves. The leading mermaid and the other two mermaids greeted her and left.
"You're here earlier than planned," Perlin said.
"It's because I've just accepted a good and obedient apprentice." The stonemason said as he introduced the three humans behind him to her.
The mermaid glanced at the three humans with a soothing look. "I've heard it all. Graymane City is forcibly destroying the White Realm's human magicians and human knights from outside."
Her gaze fell on the blonde girl. "And the human girl who saved the next Fairy Prophet in the White Realm."
Vifia suspected that her collaboration with the elves and fairies had been on the agenda before she met the Elf King. Since the Coral Craftsman had heard of her, it meant that word of her escape from the White Realm had already spread. However, the Coral Craftsman only mentioned her rescue of Lunala. Either the Elf Prophet was more important in the Western Continent than she had imagined, or the Coral Craftsman had a hidden agenda...
"How come we don't know?" Bringa turned her head to look at Vifiya, then looked back at Perlin in confusion.
"You didn't know." Sarek couldn't help but interrupt, "When I told you last night, you were busy drinking."
Isidore had already written a letter to Arnold and the others about what the red-tailed mermaid said after he found Vifiya.
Vifia also briefly mentioned their meeting with the Elf King last night.
Without further ado, Perlin spoke bluntly, "Now that you're all here, let's go collect the sea-stained flower marrow."
