After her attempts to probe failed, Maggie finally realized how accurate the description of Spur in the original comic was—he was indeed an incredibly straight guy.
If it weren't for his brother, Spur would never have been able to become a god on his own.
Maggie was very, certainly, and definitely certain of her idea.
I also deeply understand the importance of having a good older brother, who can not only help me succeed, but also pave the way for my future.
Since Sper and Sper arrived, the atmosphere in the group has become increasingly strange. Fortunately, at Maggie's insistence, the travel time has been reduced by at least half.
They reached the coast shortly afterward.
As soon as Maggie arrived, she couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and dashed to the spot just a step away from the sea.
Maggie gazed at the endless deep sea, her eyes flashing with amazement. She loved seeing scenery she had never seen before, and even though she was seeing the ocean she had longed for in this way, Maggie was still very happy.
The sky and the distant coastline merged into one, and it was midday. The sea shimmered, almost dazzling from a distance.
Only at moments like these does Maggie feel a long-lost sense of familiarity.
She couldn't see any medieval classical architecture, only a sea similar to those on Earth, which gave her the illusion of returning to the past.
On the other side, Xiu and the twins also got off the carriage. Xiu looked at Maggie's back and suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, seemingly unintentionally speaking to the person next to him.
"Thank you for following us all this way. It's a pity that the Fire Spirit Clan is not suited to water, so it seems we won't be able to stay with her any longer."
Xiu's tone was full of regret, but if Maggie heard this, she would definitely hear the schadenfreude in it.
Xiu Bo has read extensively, and in terms of knowledge reserves, he is definitely the most powerful among all human beings. He has even seen relevant information about the Fire Spirit Clan, which has been extinct.
One of these is that the Fire Spirits dislike deep water; in other words, water is the Fire Spirits' nemesis, as it carries the risk of their hearts being cooled.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, it was not the older brother, Spier, who spoke first, but the younger brother, Spier.
"My brother and I both have water-repelling gems, so you don't need to worry about them."
This is Spur's secret. He didn't tell his brother or anyone else. Although the Fire Spirits are naturally afraid of water, he has a natural curiosity about the seabed and isn't afraid at all.
So he secretly found a water-repelling gem, a magic gem close to level seven, but it only had the effect of allowing him to breathe underwater. If Spald knew that he had spent a lot of money to buy such a useless thing, he would definitely beat him up.
So Spohr didn't say anything until he heard that Maggie was going to the seabed. He finally couldn't hold back and secretly followed her.
As a result, he was caught by his own brother, and because they were too far from the temple to go back, Spor thought about it for a moment and then allowed Spor to continue following them.
They hadn't originally intended for Maggie to discover their presence, but Spur was too careless and Maggie still noticed something was amiss.
As for why there are two, it's because of habit.
Between Geminis, whether it's the younger or older brother, they subconsciously buy two of everything, just in case, and this time it just so happened.
Upon hearing this, Xiu's smile froze for a moment before he regained his calm and composed demeanor.
"Really? That's wonderful."
Spier didn't speak, but raised an eyebrow. He only realized that Spier possessed the water-repelling gem the moment he caught him, which is why he allowed Spier to continue following Maggie.
After all, if his younger brother's curiosity is not satisfied, he might do something even more dangerous in the future.
He habitually allowed him to do it, as long as he was still by his brother's side, his safety could at least be guaranteed.
He never expected that this water-repelling gem could also be used to slap the mermaid in the face.
While the younger brother couldn't sense it, Spitbolt could clearly feel the malice the mermaid harbored towards them.
Clearly, teaming up with him isn't a good choice; we might encounter some danger later, but...
Spitbolt enjoys challenges like this.
In a sense, although the older brother is smart and the younger brother is too straightforward, they both have common characteristics: they like excitement, adventure, and things that can make their adrenaline surge.
The older brother was just better at disguising himself.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly indulged Sperr in causing all sorts of trouble, claiming it was to satisfy his brother's curiosity.
Finally, the confrontation between the two was interrupted by Maggie's shouts from afar.
Why aren't you coming over? Aren't you going into the water?
Maggie was also puzzled. She had been admiring the scenery for a long time when she turned around and saw the three of them standing there motionless, chatting about something. She waited for a long time but they didn't come down.
Fortunately, they finally moved after hearing the sound and walked towards her.
She had a vague feeling that Xiu seemed to be in a bad mood.
Maggie muttered to herself, but didn't say it aloud. After all, Xiu had often been unhappy along the way, and she had gotten used to it.
Before long, four figures fell into the sea.
The coastline returned to calm, without causing a ripple. Every day, many people attempt to go to the seabed, but the largest number are usually water mages.
Water-based mages naturally possess the ability to control and resist water, making them even more suitable for venturing into the ocean depths.
However, for deeper areas, some methods are still needed.
Maggie didn't feel any discomfort the moment she jumped into the water. She could breathe as easily as if she were on land. If it weren't for the feeling of being enveloped by seawater and the buoyancy, she would have thought she had jumped into a fake body of water.
In the blink of an eye, Maggie's entire attention was drawn to Xiu beside her.
His enormous tail swayed gently in the water. Compared to when he was first seen on land, his tail tip dangling awkwardly in the lake, his tail was now so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
The fish's tail, tinged with a hint of light blue, appears almost pure white in the seawater. The luster reflected from its scales is like a work of art created by God, making one want to collect it.
Compared to Xiu's fishtail, Maggie even thought his face wasn't that good-looking.
"Do you... know the way back to your tribe?"
Maggie wanted to try communicating in the water, but to her surprise, Maggie was able to make a sound as soon as she opened her mouth, which made her pause for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Xiu seemed somewhat surprised as well, and couldn't understand why a human could speak as soon as they entered the water. After all, ordinary humans either need training or other means to make sounds underwater.
"Know."
He looked Maggie up and down before replying with two words indifferently.
