CH.436 Reuniting the Clan
We ended up spending the night on Jala’s island instead of in the water, mostly because it just is more comfortable to Alice and I. Also, Lady Janina returned to the coast.
Sure we could have slept under water, and I could have used my new race while doing so, but … it is still a bit awkward.
Cailie actually noticed my Swift Swimming skill before I even told her about my new race. She was able to spot my improved swimming skill, thus realizing that I likely gained a new skill. At first she assud I installed a card for it, but I told her what actually happened.
She was naturally happy to hear that I was accepted as a mber of the clan, but she was ecstatic when I showed her my r-folk form. And I swear it looked like she wanted to lick my tail or sothing. Her eyes turned into literal hearts, and that is just a bit alarming.
It ca up later in the evening that Cailie confronting her sister, well her past as a whole, was actually sothing both Alice and Lua wanted her to do. They called it Cailie’s ‘last test’ before she was officially part of my harem, so now that that is over … well, you can imagine what we did that night.
And r-folk are interesting in that regard. Because they have this scale covering their privates that they kind of … slide out of the way before fun ti. Yes, I have one too if I’m a r-folk, and I have to say, it is an interesting experience.
The next day we returned to the sea. And this ti, I was flexing my new r-folk race. Alice was also in her rmaid style swimsuit, so we all looked like we fitted in.
Took a bit to get used to breathing with gills, as it is kind of its own style of breathing, but I did have a great instructor, so I didn’t end up drowning.
My r-folk form looked … well, the top half looked like I always do. My tail on the other hand was mostly dark gray, with so white stars in it. It was kind of plain, but I liked it.
At first, the locals assud that I was wearing a swimsuit similar to the one Alice has, but I then explained my skill and they seed quite impressed. The few children even asked what other races I have, so I quickly ran through the races from them.
They really liked my dragon race, or to be more accurate, my dragon form, looking up at as if I was a great guardian. Probably because I was half dragon, and to them, dragons are guardians. And yes, my dragon race and dragon form are two different things. When I’m Dragon Hearted, I look basically just like a human, except that I have a dragon scale on my skin, over where my heart is. My dragon form on the other hand is when I use the Draconic Body skill.
When then took a few mbers of the clan, Cailie picked them, and headed for where the banished mbers of the Nixie clan had situated. And since I told Jala we’d be doing this today, he sent one of the adolescent dragons under him to deliver the ssage to the other adolescent dragon who guarded them, just so we wouldn’t get into a fight.
I enjoyed the swim over, really got more used to swimming as a r-folk.
{Oh. It is you. I was inford of you coming. This way.} The adolescent dragon was the first to see us and after checking us over, he led us to where the banished clan mbers were.
The buildings on this side of the island were a lot worse compared to the main ‘city’. I call it a city, but it is more like a town. It is just that the architecture and all of that makes think of a city instead.
But yeah, this side is more like the slums. Buildings that aren’t built very well, which look like a powerful wave could knock them over. I was going to say powerful wind, but there isn’t a lot of wind under water.
And looking at the people here, it beca obvious why everything was so haphazard. This half of the clan were clearly the weaker and lower leveled clan mbers, which ans they likely don’t have the skills needed to build high quality housing.
Now you might be asking, how do I know these people are lower level? Well, it is actually pretty simple. With Mana Vision.
With it, I can get an approximate estimation of how much mana people have in their bodies, which generally gives an estimation on how strong they are. … at least when it cos to magic. Sure soone can have amazing physical skills and Mana Vision wouldn’t let catch onto that, but if that is the case, they generally look big and buff because their strength is all physical and not magically boosted.
But yeah. They just don’t have the skills to make good buildings with magic, so they just have so basic structures made from whatever plant matter they could get their hands on.
I do wonder why the dragons didn’t help them more, but maybe it is sothing akin to the dragons deciding that if they can’t survive this, then they don’t deserve to live.
I asked the adolescent dragon about it, and at first he didn’t feel like answering, but after I showed him one of Lady Janina’s scales, he quickly began to talk.
It was actually because the dragons don’t know how to build buildings. They live in caves and caverns for a reason. So earth dragons do apparently build their own houses, but even that is rare.
The dragons did help the r-folk in so of the material gathering, getting stuff from the island and waterproofing it with magic. But just having materials doesn’t make one a builder, so things are how they are.
But that will no longer be a problem, as we are bringing everyone back. Cailie spoke them all into it, telling them that her sister was no longer in charge, and would never again be in charge. There were so that hesitated, but they were willing to go check it out.
The trip back was originally going to just be a swim, but a few of the r-folk were a bit too weak for that so I improvised.
And by improvised, I ant that I summoned a giant whale to give us a ride. Orca ga-Fortress of Darkness to be specific.

And, because Cailie brought the banished half of the clan back to rejoin the regular half, her first System mission was completed. And thus, she got her reward for it.

Purifying Winds is a skill the System cooked up by mixing my Sprite Purifying Mirror and Wind Magic. It is effectively a way to clear away miasma with Wind Magic, but as a unique skill.
… And I won’t say it, but I feel like this is the System using us as test subjects again. They realized they can steal my card tech and mix it with what they already have, but it has to be tested.
So just give Cailie both a System Support, so they can stalk her, and the new skill and see what happens.
But I’m not complaining. Most of the ti, miasma is purified by Holy Magic, so having more ways of doing so is definitely good.
And in theory, Purifying Winds can purify sprites where Holy Magic can’t. At least as far as I know. There might be so high level Holy Magic spell which can, but Albus, our priest, doesn’t know of one.
But now Cailie has an option for it that isn’t my card. Which fits her very well. She is a spirit, so purifying spirits should feel natural for her.
