Chapter 747 Cap 745: Mermaids!?

Pov High Priest Alfred:

I see the Vampire leaving with his group and I turn to Alvin, one of Cyrion's Servants, he was looking at me.

"I'll keep my end of the deal, don't worry." (I)

"I know you will do your part, but there are troublesome people in your temple." (Alvin)

"If I order them they will obey, our Priests strongly respect hierarchy and rules." (I)

"For someone who talks so much about rules and laws, the people of your temple spend a lot of time and effort manipulating these things to conform to what they believe." (Alvin)

"It's not your duty to judge what we do." (I)

"Then stop making trouble so often with other religions." (Alvin)

"They're young, let them make mistakes as they wish, a lot of what happens in this place is left out because it's a training place." (I)

The truth is that there are criminals in all religions, some religions are even completely full of criminals like religions that worship Evil Gods or Demon Gods.

The young people we send to this island are just the most talented and with the greatest potential, but this makes many of them arrogant, and often don't realize the mistakes they make.

In the case of this Vampire and those around him, there are many mysteries involved, clearly, there are more people or organizations behind him, I could take them all to trial, but without evidence, it would be worthless.

Besides, I can't act here, my role is to guide and watch over our young talents, and missing the opportunity to come to such a perfect training place would be a huge blow to our future.

"(I'll just send what I have to the Main Temple, if an opportunity arises we'll have to capture them in the future, but until then we should investigate their pasts and pay attention to them from now on.)" (I)

Pov Zenos:

"Are you sure you're all right, master?" (Hela)

"I'm very angry, but I'm fine." (I)

"From the beginning, there was nothing we could do." (Vanessa)

"That man looked strong, my instincts were screaming for us to leave." (Jade)

"Unfortunately, I felt inadequate to protect you, great Dragon." (Barok)

"I only dared to go there knowing that someone like that High Priest would be there because the rules of this island protect us." (I)

"But you got what you needed right?" (Freya)

"Yes, they won't attack us anymore, which is good since we would lose." (I)

"Speak for yourself, besides that idiot Priest I can fight them all." (Layla)

"It can't be, they have a much larger number of people above the Lower Catastrophe Grade." (Sakura)

"There were already 7 in the group that attacked us inside the Dungeon, but just going in and out of the Temple of Law I felt dozens." (Ragnar)

"I've killed dozens of Lesser Catastrophe Grade monsters." (Layla)

"No, you've killed dozens of Lesser Catastrophe Grade monsters, monsters that act aggressively and out of instinct." (I)

"These people have been properly trained, are intelligent, and know how to work in groups." (I)

"But Ragnar's group was able to kill several of them in the Dungeon, right?" (Layla)

"That was different, we attacked them all at once, it was a quick attack that didn't give them time to react, if they had taken the initiative it wouldn't have been so easy, besides that Irius and Lilith were injured." (Athena)

"Fish!?" (Hinata)

"What is it, Hinata?" (I)

While we were talking on the way back, Hinata who was floating a little higher comes to me pointing in one direction, when I approach the place that was the port, I see several people being brought by clouds created by Turtle Men.

These people who were brought in or who are still being brought in had fishlike appearances.

There were beautiful women in leather clothes with scales and underparts of fish or other sea creatures, I saw a big Mermaid among them that had a tail more like a shark from the waist down, this Mermaid caught my attention because it was wearing a piece of armor and was missing his arm from the elbow.

When I noticed her other injuries on the rest of her body I started to pay more attention to the others, there were more types of Mermaids with lower body parts of fish, octopus, and even shrimp.

Most of the others were unharmed, but they looked very thin and with haggard faces.

I watched as more people were brought in on the Turtle Men's clouds, in addition to them there were also flying carpets, flying boats, and big monster birds bringing these people that were not limited to Sirens.

There were also people with humanoid bodies but with fish scales, some had fish scales all over their bodies while others had fish scales only on some parts of their bodies like arms, legs, and back.

? These people also looked like they had fish gills, but they also had noses, it made me wonder for a few seconds how their bodies work, and why it felt like they had two different respiratory systems, but I soon let that go.

I noticed that more Mermaids and these fish people are injured, few of them had weapons and armor, and these even more injured, as we arrived more and more of these people I noticed what they were, refugees.

I realized this because this scene reminded me of a refugee movie I saw in my previous life, while thinking about this revelation I realized that Vanessa was among those people as well as many other Priests of various Religions using spells or healing abilities on these injured people.

Upon seeing this I also noticed that Freya was there, as well as Sakura, Athena, and Jade who cannot heal wounds but can treat poisons which seems to be of great help to some of the most injured people.

I also went there to heal, my skills were not good for healing, but I learned a lot of spells for that from Irina, among these spells a powerful water element magic that creates a fragile barrier, but that increases the natural healing ability of all people inside, I used all my mana to strengthen this spell as much as I can in a large area.

After creating the barrier I drank a potion of MP and went to try to treat the less injured, I realized that the most due were being well taken care of by experts, so I focused on those who were being neglected momentarily because they were in better condition.
