When the little rmaid saw soone approaching, her face was full of despair and panic.
She frantically scratched at the nearby walls, trying to move her body, but found nothing but putrid mud.
In the end, she slumped there, as if resigned to her fate.
"Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid... Ah! Lilith, give that shell dal."
Lilith quickly tore open a space rift and took out a scallop the size of a fist. Lette took it and opened it, revealing a dal made from a Seven Colored Fluorescent Shell.
It was a gift from the Sea Clan to Lette, a token of their most honored guest.
It’s said that only three popes with outstanding rits had been awarded this throughout history.
Of course, the Sea Clan gave this to Lette mainly hoping that when he arrived on their territory, he would show this item.
They really didn’t want anyone in their clan foolishly offending this fierce star.
When the little rmaid saw this dal, her eyes instantly lit up with vitality. She wanted to beg Lette for help, but unfortunately, she was already exhausted and could only look over with tears in her eyes.
Lette didn’t know who this little rmaid was, why she was here, or if it was related to the strange phenona in the city.
But he decided to save her first.
After all, the best way to unravel the mystery is to ask the person involved directly.
Lette reached out with a chant of the Holy Light’s praise and divine blessing, followed by several Holy Healing Techniques.
In the blink of an eye, the little rmaid’s life signs stabilized.
Lette imdiately brought Lilith to her side, did a quick check, and then began summoning the Holy Truth Magic Ring.
Lette first cast several purification Divine Curses and expelled all the toxins and pain from the little rmaid’s body.
Then, with a few praises of life, he restored her vitality.
But for so unknown reason, the little rmaid’s recovery was very limited.
If it were a human, even with one foot in the Nether Sea, they should be lively by now.
But this little rmaid still looked on the brink of death.
"It seems there are indeed differences between humans and alien races, I was a bit presumptuous."
"Water..."
The little rmaid suddenly spoke, her voice a bit hoarse: "Give , clean water."
"Oh~ alright!"
Lette imdiately redirected the magic ring’s power and used Holy Light Power to perform Water Magic. A large amount of clean water poured down, continuously washing over the little rmaid’s body.
Then, sothing incredible happened.
The remaining injuries on the little rmaid’s body began to repair rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, she was healthy again.
The scales on her tail and so areas of her upper body reflected a seven-colored light, looking quite noble.
Most importantly, her originally emaciated body swelled up as if soaked with water, becoming full and plump.
A mont ago she was a little girl, but after the baptism of clear water, she had beco a graceful young lady.
Her skin was delicate and white, her eyes deep blue. Her hair, once covered in mud, now glowed like vivid red coral.
"This, just washing with water caused such a change? It’s like a new beginning!"
"Lette, perhaps you’ve found a treasure. This little rmaid... should be a royal with the Sea God’s bloodline among the Sea Clan."
"So this is the Sea Emperor Clan? With Divine bloodline, truly extraordinary."
When Lette and his group left the Holy City, they accompanied the Sea Clan’s envoy to the coastal regions.
Along the way, bored, Lette liked to chat with people from the Sea Clan, learning quite a bit about them.
The Sea Clan is a group with a very distinct bloodline hierarchy.
They are mainly divided into two major categories: the rmaid Clan and other sea clans.
The rmaid Clan, as the rulers of the ocean, hold absolute dominance within the Sea Clan.
And within the rmaid Clan, a small part have inherited the Sea God’s blood, making them even more powerful and fearso, and even more honorable.
They are often referred to as the royal family of the Sea Clan, while other ordinary rmaids belong to the imperial family.
Besides the rmaid Clan, there are so powerful marine tribes, also blessed by the ocean.
However, this blessing is regional.
For example, the sturdy shells of the Spirit Turtle clan, the sharp teeth of the Sea Shark clan, the giant pincers of the Battle Crab clan.
Because these Sea Clans do not fully receive the blessings, they cannot compare to the rmaid Clan.
But at least they are stronger than the average Sea Clan and their special blessings often allow them to undertake specific jobs.
These Sea Clans, in the ocean, hold a status second only to the noble rmaid.
These Sea Clans once sought to call themselves the Sea Spirit Clan, aning the spirits of the ocean, but were rejected by the rmaid Clan.
After all, only the rmaid Clan can truly be considered the Sea Elves.
Thus, these Sea Clans are sotis called the Haichen Clan, and those who haven’t received the ocean’s favor are just ordinary Sea Clans, also called the Sea People.
Sea Emperor, Sea King, Haichen, Sea People, the hierarchy is strict and severe.
Their bloodline caste system always reminded Lette of a peculiar group back ho.
"Good... kind-hearted person, honorable guest, Gladys Joan Alcroos, offers you my sincerest gratitude!"
"Hello, my na is Lette."
"Lette!?"
The little rmaid, just recovered, turned pale: "You... you can use Holy Light, and also own the Sea Clan’s top-grade Seven Colored Shell dal!
Could you be that legendary... that Lord Holy Sin?!"
Lette’s mouth twitched: "Am I so famous even among the Sea Clan?"
"...Rosadina and I are good friends."
"Who’s Rosadina..."
Lilith whispered into Lette’s ear: "Three years ago, on the last Holy Presence Day, the Elf Clan princess you frightened to tears."
"Ah... I rember now."
Lette clicked his tongue: "But let’s be honest, it was because she accidentally tripped and fell backward.
The pain and sha made her cry accidentally.
It wasn’t because I scared her, thank you."
"She stepped back because the blood of those you killed rushed to her feet. In a panic, she tripped, and due to pain and fear, she burst into tears.
Thank you!"
Lette scratched his head: "Even so, she stopped quickly."
"That’s because soone glared at her while holding a bloodied Sin Light Greatsword, scaring her speechless.
Thank you!
It’s said that poor little princess had nightmares every night after returning to the Elf Kingdom! And you are the root of those nightmares.
I say, do you have a knack for becoming a princess’ nightmare?"
"Am I so runaway evil dragon? I’m a prince, alright? Where’s my white horse? Bring my white horse!"
"Pfft~"
Gladys covered her mouth, smiling: "It seems Lord Holy Sin is not as... terrifying as Rosadina described."
"The little princess probably didn’t use the word terrifying... never mind, I won’t stoop to her level."
Lette turned to Gladys: "Then, little princess in front of , what happened? This is not a place the Sea Emperor Clan should co to, right?"
Gladys’s eyes reddened, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I... I was captured and brought here. They... they are simply not human!
Lord Holy Sin, I hope you can send back to the Sea Clan. After the deed is done, the Sea Emperor Clan will highly reward you!"
"The Holy Light Church and the Sea Clan’s imperial family have always been on good terms... I say, let’s get out of here first before we talk."
Gladys nodded repeatedly, couldn’t agree more.
"Can you... swim back?"
Gladys looked at the sewage and mud with a troubled face. Seeing this, Lette made a stroke of his hand, and the surrounding water vapor turned into a water bubble enclosing the little rmaid princess.
"Thank you very much, Lord Holy Sin."
"Just call Lette, and this is Lilith. If you really want to thank , I have quite a few questions for you later; answering them honestly will be gratitude enough."
Lette manipulated the water bubble toward the passageway they had co from. He stopped just before leaving, marking the spot where he had found the little rmaid, erased the traces of their activities, and then turned to leave.
Once back in the courtyard, Lette brought the rmaid to his warehouse.
He found sothing that looked like a wardrobe but was actually a bathtub, placed Gladys inside, and poured in a large amount of clean water, adding quite a bit of sea salt as well.
Subrged in water once more, the little rmaid felt extrely comfortable, and looked noticeably better.
"Thank you so much, Lord... Lette."
"Are you feeling better?"
"Much better. If you can send back to the ocean, I will fully recover quickly."
"The bloodline of the Sea God, truly formidable."
Lette marveled as he watched Gladys swim in the wardrobe, surprised at her transformation. Initially, she seed like a doll torn and scavenged by stray cats and dogs, then thrown into a stinking ditch.
Now, she had regained a semblance of the Sea Elf’s vivacity and beauty.
"So, Miss Gladys, how were you captured?"
The little rmaid lay on the edge of the bathtub, shaking her head in bewildernt: "I, I don’t know... I have a very vague mory of that period.
I only know that when I woke up, I was trapped inside a giant glass jar.
Inside was a foul-slling alchemy potion, and around it, alchemists in magic robes were walking back and forth.
I didn’t know what they were doing."
Lilith stepped closer: "Strange, logically speaking, you should be regarded as an extrely valuable experint by these alchemists.
No matter what they wanted to research, a rmaid princess from the Sea Emperor Clan should have been carefully preserved.
Why did you end up in the sewers with such severe injuries?
By the looks of you, you must have been in the sewers for quite so ti."
Gladys nodded repeatedly: "Yes, at first, even though I was imprisoned, my treatnt wasn’t too bad. They never did anything to harm .
But about a month ago, the place where those alchemists were was attacked by a mysterious person.
The alchemists’ research data was stolen, and everyone was slaughtered.
All the facilities were destroyed, and I was seriously injured in the explosion, struggling with all my might to escape into the sewers.
Initially, I was trapped in a place of total darkness, unable to move.
I was probably going to die there.
But about a day ago, though I’m uncertain of the exact ti.
Suddenly, a large amount of clean water gushed through the sewers, flushing out of that place.
I regained so strength and managed to escape a short distance, which is how I ended up in the place you found .
I sang desperately, hoping soone would find .
Perseverance paid off, and finally, you arrived.
If you hadn’t co, I might not have lasted.
Lord Lette, and Miss Lilith, you two are my saviors!
Oh, and there’s the kind person who used Water Magic. I could distinctly feel that the rushing water contained rich magic power!
Alas, I don’t know if I’ll be able to find her."
Lette and Lilith exchanged a glance: "Such a coincidence?"
