Chapter 427

For the greater goal of an expedition to the New World, it was natural to sacrifice a cow.

‘Damn... Damn, damn! Damn Middle Earth! ‘They’re definitely trying to play with people like this!’

-all right. Even if I have to die, I will return the septic tank to normal.

Therefore, the following did not take that method.

‘I don’t play Middle Earth just for fun. I have a clear purpose: to earn money for surgery. But, no matter what! I don’t want to sell my conscience and get paid with a guilty conscience. I know clearly that this mermaid is an NPC and not a real human!’

Do you think I’m just pretending to be nice? Below, am I showing hypocrisy?

Maybe it is like that. Lee Ha couldn’t even understand his own mind properly.

The important thing is that once you know that this is the direction Middle Earth is leading, choosing that path is too one-dimensional.

It might not have been hypocrisy but simply a mistake.

Sibrim was shedding tears.

“Thank you. Thank you so much. As a water spirit and a member of the Undine clan, I will return this favor even if my body turns into foam and disappears.”

―If it becomes a bubble... it’s in trouble. If something goes wrong with Siburim, I’ll be in big trouble too. haha.

One of the conditions for quest failure is the death of the Sea God Guard Captain. Easing the awkward atmosphere, Lee Ha began to plan a plan to infiltrate the septic tank.

There was nothing to hesitate about as long as Sibreem decided to become the bait.

It was about five minutes later that a mermaid suddenly appeared in the vicinity of the Dragon Palace, amid the fishmen’s tight security.

“Hakit?”

“Ha, ha! Mermaid!? “How can a mermaid be here?”

“For some reason, you guys know what to do. Haap—!”

Sibrim started yelling and fighting the two fishmen who were standing guard.

The wave caused by the sudden movement was soon felt by all the fish people near the Dragon Palace.

“Haki Kiki!”

“Hakyu, Hakyu!”

Shwaaaaaaaaaa!

Only after confirming that the fishmen were swimming quickly, Sibrim lightly cut down the two fishmen he was facing and began to run away.

“You guys! “Shivrim, the captain of the Sea God’s guard, will personally deal with you!”

Hakyukyukyukyu─────!

The procession of fishmen following Sibrim continued.

When the first ten increased to twenty, forty, and eighty, Andersson, Leeha, and Blaugrun, who were hiding behind a rock, slowly moved to the entrance of the septic tank so as not to detect the waves.

‘A fish head is a fish head.’

Even the sentry guarding the entrance to the septic tank was chased away. Below, I was once again amazed at their amazing intelligence.

***

“Of course I should have gone... I’m sure you’ll be okay, Captain?”

-Don’t think like that, Mr. Anderson. Since we’ve already started, we need to focus on our work.

“Yeah, that’s right. yes. All right.”

Anderson was disappointed that he could not step forward to become the bait. It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand it, but in many ways it felt too late.

‘Andersong is faster than Sibrim. However, it is a bit difficult to prepare for physical conditions or emergencies.’

If it were Sibreim, he would take his time by disrupting and breaking through even a certain degree of siege.

But what about Anderson?

Since he cannot handle weapons properly, there is a possibility that he will not be able to escape even if a few fishmen form a siege.

‘No, because you won’t have any tactical understanding of the concept of siege or weaknesses before that... Sibreem said he would put you in the Sea God Guard, but that’s because he literally only showed the potential, so he still needs to grow....’ Anderson himself. As mentioned above, it was decided that this role of bait was too much for him, a ‘low-class’ water spirit.

“There it is!”

“Kkorok....”

The entrance to the septic tank was a gaping hole.

It looked small, but that was because the object of comparison was the ‘sea’; in reality, it was a hole as big as an average soccer stadium.

‘I can’t even tell how deep it is.’

Lee Ha shook his head vigorously and changed his mind. In times like these, you need to remain calm. You have to take your time.

‘Relax. Relax your back. I’m just going to clean the septic tank. A plumber, so to speak. Don’t be scared. After all, plumbers are the ones who protect the Earth. Just like brothers Rio and Lizzy, who have the surname Ma.’

Grumbling....

There was no difference between Ki-jeong and I-ra. But the effect was clear. The mindset that had been resisting expansion just now began to open up.

Ki-jeong’s theory that jokes are meant to relieve tension and therefore jokes should be made at the most important moments certainly worked for Lee Ha, at least at this moment.

‘Giggles, I thought you were Korean when I watched that cartoon movie. I heard there was a huge sense of betrayal. Just as I

was thinking about this, when I lost track of time and how long it had been since I entered the septic tank, I finally saw a faint light far away below.

-uh! uh! Mr. Anderson, is that light? I’m not seeing it wrong, am I?

“Ma, I think that’s right. The light – I think it’s right! “It must be a septic tank!”

I had been away from the light for so long that I didn’t even know if I was seeing properly.

Blaugrun made a quick keun, keun, keun sound.

“Boogurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh?!”

Are you happy too, Mr. Blaugrun? This is what I was trying to say below. But it was different. I didn’t know because I couldn’t see Anderson’s or Blaugrun’s faces yet.

Blaugrun’s cries in Leeha’s arms were getting faster and faster.

―Mr Anderson! Tom-

“Huh? What-what’s moving? But what...? I don’t know what it is. This is my first time seeing swimming waves – what is that? It feels like multiple waves like a squid’s legs, but it’s different from a kraken or a squid. It looks like there’s a huge tail between the squid’s legs...”

Before Leeha finished speaking, Anderson finished detecting.

Although he is of low rank, he is a mermaid and a water spirit. It has the ability to select the Kraken’s movements as waves.

I was able to easily classify the giant moray eels and the numerous fish and whales I had seen along the way. What if this is a wave that Andersson feels for the first time?

‘No way....’

[Quite! Kkkkkkkkk! Wow!]

I was anxious. The fact that the faint light that was seen in the distance seemed to be swaying and dancing made Lee Ha even more anxious.

Shuuu... The light was getting closer and closer to Leeha.

“Ah, even though I felt it for the first time – it feels like a familiar wave... Where have I felt this before?”

Shuuuuu... The light kept coming.

Lee Ha was able to change his anxiety into confidence based on Anderson’s self-talk and the approaching light.

But it was not an assurance of relief.

‘The sea god is a mermaid. Mermaids have huge tails. And what about the sea god? It is currently contaminated and has become a fishman.’

It’s familiar yet unfamiliar. Besides, what did Shivrim say?

Two things that prove the power of the sea god.

‘What did one of them say?’

And there is more. What the fishman who spewed out information said. Even the fish people said that they could not know the location of the sea god.

Leeha was able to think of those two things in an instant.

‘One of the powers of the Sea God, he shows his power with a self-luminous crown! Even its location is currently unknown! In that case, that’s—’

[Kyuuu! Kyuuuuuu!]

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Leeha shouted, spitting out air bubbles.

―It’s the sea god!!!!

“Uh, Sea God?! Wow, wow!”

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaahhh

Now it was clearly visible to the following eyes.

And we had to understand that Anderson could not detect the sea god’s waves.

Is it more than three times the size of Sibreem?

This was because tentacles stretched out in all directions from the waist of the sea god, which was ridiculously large to be considered a mermaid, like the hem of a skirt.

Anderson held Leeha and Blaugrun in his arms and began to swim, his tail falling off.
