Chapter 1165: Drunken Pearl (4)



With the way that she reacted, I knew that she was interested in the thing that I pulled out. That was because this was also part of my knowledge from the game.

The things that sold best after gaining access to the sea witches' settlement were the things that came from the human world.

These were items that the sea witches couldn't obtain that easily since they were trapped under the water. However, the sea witches had to do many experiments to strengthen their magic and that required a lot of materials.

Especially materials from land and the human world like the one that I was currently holding.

That was why they had secret dealings with humans and that was why there was this password in the first place. This was one of the ways to gain access to the sea witches' settlement and the easiest way to make a connection with the sea witches, which was why I chose to use this method.

After a moment of silence, I said, "There's more where this came from, as long as you can keep up your end."

Puffer slowly turned from the herb that I was holding in my hand to look into my eyes.

She looked at me for a bit before saying, "Alright, I'll go and find the former crown prince for you, but..." After a pause, she added, "I need some time before I can find him. It's not as if he's that easy of a person to find in the first place since the one that he's married to is also one of the Five Great Witches of the Sea."

I was surprised to hear this since this was something that I didn't know.

From what I knew from the game, none of the Five Great Witches of the Sea were married or even had partners.

That was because in the game, they were all targets that could be wooed.

So there was no way that a target that could be wooed would have a partner.

Or at least not for the Five Great Witches of the Sea.

There wasn't even a mention of a previous partner for any of them...

"Which one is it?" I couldn't help asking Puffer.

Puffer was a bit confused at first, but then she said, "The Great Witch of the North, Sahi."

That surprised look soon became a strange look as she looked at me as if she didn't seem to understand the words that came out of my mouth. But there was no way for her to deny what I was saying since I looked back at her with a calm look.

Eventually, Ariel asked, "How do my parents not know about this place?"

A faint smile appeared on my lips before I said, "It's not that they don't know about this place, it's just that they don't do anything to this place."

Ariel was even more surprised when she heard this before she slowly knitted her brows.

After a while, she asked, "Why would they ignore this place?"

"Well, it's simply because this is a place where the Merman Empire and the sea witches can contact each other if there is a need for it. That's why they leave this place be since it has its uses." I slowly explained as I looked around the room.

Ariel didn't say anything for a while as the look on her face made it seem like she was thinking about something.

After a while, she finally asked, "But what about the Great Witch of the Sea that's here?"

The smile that had been on my face turned strange when I heard this.

Unlike before, I didn't answer right away.

The look on my face was as if I was trying to think about what to say.

Eventually, I said, "It's simply because they don't know what she's here."

Then as if I felt I should add something else, I said, "It's not as if she's here all the time, so that's why they don't know about her."

Ariel didn't seem like she was happy with this answer, but she eventually gave a nod to show that she understood.

The look on her face was as if she was a child that was learning that the world wasn't what it

seemed.

There was nothing that I could say in response to this.
