Chapter 488: rmaid Territory
The journey to the Lorelei Clan's territory in the northern region of the white coral reef was calm or relatively quiet.
Oceanid stroked his ear, which felt quite sore. So ti ago, he really did not expect that one of his saviors gave him a gift in the form of a painful ear-twisting, right in front of everyone's gaze.
Even Rhea and Nell also felt dissatisfied. They also ignored him. The reason? All of that just because he decided everything himself without asking for advice or opinion from the other Goddesses.
Just for the sake of his own good, he simply apologized without hesitation.
anwhile, the rmaids looked at each other as if they had a similar sense of shock. They never thought in their wildest imagination that the Sea God would bow before the golden-eyed girl.
"Psst, father, is that golden-eyed and golden-haired human girl a God too? The Sea God instantly beca docile in front of her." Dorienne whispered near her father's ear.
"Most likely. But, I can't say that for sure. Let's see what happens next. For now, we will only entertain the Sea God's group respectfully." Osharus replied with another whisper.
"But, we were already planning to camp on the white coral reef." Dorienne made a small protest.
"We can postpone that for another ti. The opportunity to host Sea God and his group might not happen again next ti." Osharus then pushed his daughter's face away from him. It would be rude if they continued exchanging words in secret whispers.
"..." Dorienne only heaved a subtle sigh. If things turned out like this, like it or not, their plans could only be postponed as the only option.
It was an underwater settlent the size of a village. In the depths of the sea, between eight hundred ters to one kiloter, dozens of rmaids and other aquatic creatures were busy with their activities.
Most of the original inhabitants of the Lorelei Clan's territory were Spirit-level beings or above.
"Woah... Is that an underwater settlent? It looks more like a village. I think, it's a bit like a huge palace, Osharus." Sylvia squinted her eyes to look at a village-like settlent in front of her.
"Please have so courtesy by using honorifics on , little girl. After all, I am an elder." Osharus sighed for the umpteenth ti. This red-eyed girl seed to have no respect for an elder like her.
"You are indeed an elder, but you are not stronger than . So, accept your fate because I always keep my manners polite." Sylvia quipped subtly with a slight arrogant smirk.
"Hmph! What can a little girl like you do? That is nonsense. My eyes and sonar tell that you are not stronger than an ordinary little girl." Osharus snorted with slight irritation. Of all the Sea God's group, only this unruly girl seed relaxed and had no respect for him.
"Sir Osharus, if you don't mind, can you tolerate Sylvi? What she said is true. She is only hiding her Saint-level strength and is actually stronger than you." Elysia tried to reconcile the tension between the stubborn devil girl and the disgruntled rmaid.
"Right, right! If you really want to earn my respect, then you need to impress ." Sylvia smiled while nodding in satisfaction. She was glad when Elysia was around because she would often be defended.
Osharus went silent, but he stared at the purplish-blue-eyed girl with a hint of doubt on his face.
"Please don't doubt what Elysia said. She is my savior. If she wants to, you can be defeated in less than three seconds by her. Don't apply common sense and norms to my group. All you need to do is be polite to everyone and you will be okay." Oceanid opened his mouth to clarify and suggest for the common good. He offended the master, so he needed to curry favor to the disciple.
Hearing that, Osharus just scratched his head. Common sense and norms scread ridiculous to confront this group.
An ordinary little girl, but stronger than him? Then, an Apprentice-level little girl, but the Sea God said this girl could defeat him in less than three seconds?
Osharus just put his hand on his forehead as if he had a sudden headache. He might need to prepare himself if those little beasts were actually the disguised divine beasts.
Even so, he put everything aside when his territory's gate was in sight. "We have arrived at the Lorelei Clan's territory. Allow to co out to order them to open the gate."
"Sure, you can get out by crossing this barrier. We'll follow you from behind and out of invisibility once you've entered your residence." Nell gave her approval while pointing her palm toward the gate.
"All right." Osharus nodded in understanding even though he didn't quite understand why it was the little fairy, not the Sea God, who gave the confirmation.
He then just jumped out to get back into the water. He looked back, but there was nothing but water and fish.
"Invisibility, huh... Has magic gotten that great out there?" Osharus muttered under his breath and approached the gate. "Open the gate!"
"Huh? Lord Osharu? You've returned? Didn't you just leave with Young Master Clyde and Young Lady Dorienne?" A guard rmaid peeked over the top of the gate and wondered in surprise.
"Don't ask too many questions. There's sothing I need to do. We're all back because we have a group of distinguished guests coming to visit." Osharus thumped his trident to the ground then folded his arms.
"Well then." The guard decided not to ask much and just opened the gate as requested.
When Osharus passed through the gate, the guard felt a little confused because he didn't see Clyde and Dorienne anywhere. Nevertheless, he just shrugged his shoulders and closed the gate again.
"Uhm, why did you create such a high gate like that to protect your village territory? Underwater creatures can swim through that gate from above easily, right?" Yuuki felt a little confused as she stared at the white coral gate.
"Mm, even if that's true, that gate is the sole entry for anyone who wants to enter the Lorelei Clan's territory. If you looked closely, there was a hemispherical barrier that enveloped this place. Please be careful, you can get hurt if you touch our onsite security system." Clyde gave a loud explanation as if he was feeling proud.
"Ooo, I see. No wonder. Hm? Oh, there was one innocent fish that accidentally hit sothing and it went limp. It seems, the fish was electrocuted by sothing?" Yuuki felt enlightened to see the fish fall to the ground helplessly.
"Ah, yes, if you get such short close contact, an electric shock will be received by the intruder." Clyde replied with a nod of confirmation.
"Ah, we've arrived. My father has already entered. Allow us to host you to a dinner. If possible, can we get out of invisibility and go inside? Please let our clan mbers know that distinguished guests have co to visit. ." Dorienne put her hand on her upper chest and conveyed her request.
"Very well, that's what we're going to do. You can co out and be our escorts then." Nell just waved her hand, and her entire group was instantly no longer under cover of invisibility.
A few rmaids who happened to pass by felt quite astonished to see a group of unknown creatures suddenly appear out of nowhere right in front of their lord's mansion.
However, they were a little relieved that their young master and young lady were also there. It seems those unknown creatures were a group of guests?
"Please co in." Dorienne invited with a friendly smile. She then jumped off the carpet with her brother.
"Oh! You have arrived, dear guests. Welco to my humble abode. I, Osharus Lorelei, allow us to entertain you with great respect, and a feast." Osharus had been waiting near the entrance that had purposely remained open.
He spread his arms wide with an equally broad smile to greet the distinguished guests. His voice was even loud enough for anyone within a hundred ters to hear.
"You speak too loudly. My ears still hurt a little. Please pay attention to your voice." Oceanid voiced his complaint and stepped out of Nell's barrier. He wanted so water's comfort because his ears still hurt.
Nell still didn't understand, no matter how many tis she tried to think about it. Oceanid was an embodint of water, a divine water spirit. However, could Elena inflict continuous pain on that Sea God with just magic? Could it be a divine ear twist?
Even so, no one could answer her, and she couldn't ask Elena either. Therefore, Nell just put that aside and patted her magic carpet to enter the luxurious mansion.
Ella and Evelyn looked at each other, then they looked at Elysia. They found it strange to visit the residence of a respected person using the dium of transportation. If in the nobility rules, it was clearly too rude.
As if knowing her friends' worries, Elysia responded with a reassuring smile. "It's okay. We're not on land, and we'd be in trouble to be underwater without oxygen. Plus, we're only equipped with lungs to breathe, unlike those rmaids. Just enjoy the ride~"
The word 'we're not on land' made Ella and Evelyn heave a sigh of relief. They only set aside their nobility norms on this occasion because they were not on land but one kiloter under the sea.
The three rmaids guided Sea God and Nell's entire group into a colorful hall.
Corals, anemones, and various kinds of underwater ornantal vegetation adorn the hall. It was a unique sight in itself.
