Chapter 968: Showing the product



Once the Merman Empire group was on land, we started our welcoming ceremony.

This was something that we had been planning for a while since we wanted it to be perfect and it had taken quite a bit of time, but...

It didn't seem like they were interested at all.

"Let's not bother with this. We already know each other, so there's no need for us to get to know each other again with this kind of ceremony." The Merman Queen didn't hold back at all as she said this.

The look in her eyes were a bit scary as she said this, almost as if there was something else that she wanted to do.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since she was saying all this, it wasn't as if we could just continue the welcoming ceremony since it was for them. If they didn't want to do it, then we had no choice but to head back to the capital.

As we were heading to the wyverns, the Merman King came over and said, "Sorry about that." I was surprised to hear him apologizing, but he quickly explained why she was in such a rush. It turned out that the Merman Queen had bragged about the lube to her friends and they had all wanted some for themselves.

One thing that I was surprised by was that the Merman Queen was quite the caring person as she didn't hoard the lube that I gave her. It turned out that she gave some to the people that she was close to that wanted the lube.

It seemed that the royal family of the Merman Empire were quite caring towards the people that were close to them.

Completely different from the royal families of the human countries.

This wasn't a bad thing since it meant that it should be easier to work with them than to work with the other human countries, but at the same time... It meant that there was a risk of falling for traps since they were trusting.

Still, if it was that bad, they wouldn't have been able to build up the Merman Empire to where it was now.

The two of them looked at the wyverns for a bit before the Merman King turned to me with a smile to say, "It's not that there's a problem, it's just that we never thought that we would have the chance to ride on wyverns like this."

The Merman Queen added, "That's right. We'll be going from the deep sea to the open skies, it really is exciting."

The way that she said this reminded me of a certain someone else.

It seemed that they really were Ariel's parents as they even acted the same when seeing the wyverns.

After getting them all on the wyverns, we headed off to the capital.

There were screams that came from the back of the wyverns, but they weren't screams of fear. Rather, there were excited screams of joy that came from the back of these wyverns as they enjoyed the feeling of flying through the sky.

The Merman King and Queen acted the same way as Ariel did when she rode on the back of the wyverns for the first time. They were walking around on the back of the wyverns, putting the riders that controlled the wyverns in a hard position as they had to make sure that they didn't fall.

These were royal guests, so we had to treat them as best as we could.

That meant letting them do what they wanted.

In the end, there were no accidents as we arrived in the capital, but it looked like the hearts of the wyvern riders were about to jump out of their chests. It really looked like they were all about to have heart attacks with how afraid they had been on the way back.

Once we landed, the Merman Queen immediately came to me and said, "Where is it?"

I didn't even need to ask to know what she was referring to. There was only one thing that could make her act this way in the first place.

So with a shake of the head and a bitter smile, I led the way to the warehouse that I had used to store the lube that was produced.
