Chapter 158: Blue Fin Kingdom (1/2)

Author: M_W Cancer

Their only hope right now was indeed to go to the Blue Fin Kingdom.

If they can really find a flaw in the Magical seal that Lu Ming had casted, then going to the Blue Fin Kingdom would be the only way for them to escape this place alive.

The Blue Fin Kingdom is one of the homes of the Mermaid race, specifically mermaids with blue color fins. They are one of the Foreign races that Humans used to only write in books about back on Earth, calling them all sorts of different names such as Siren, Sea Maiden, and Water Nymph. However, in the Celestial World, they go by their entire race name, Merlfolks, the name for all the sea-dwelling Foreign races all throughout the entire Celestial World. Simply put, the Mermaid race is just a part of the big Foreign race called Merlfolks.

In the history book of the Silver Kingdom, the Blue Fin Kingdom was once their invaders.

The Blue Fin Kingdom had attacked the Silver Kingdom back in the days due to the sole reason that they assumed the Fourth Prince had kidnapped one of their princesses, although not and instead was the vice versa, because the mermaid princess, Elaine, was actually the one who kidnapped Fourth Prince Ethan, and had then chosen the Eastern Coast of Silver Kingdom as her hideout, hence causing the war to erupt in the Eastern Coast territory of Silver Kingdom.

After finding out the truth, the Blue Fin Kingdom felt ashamed of their action as they then gave the Silver Kingdom a huge compensation. They gave them the rights to rule the Shark Cemetery, which henceforth became a part of the Silver Kingdom. That was just one of the compensation, though.

Ever since then, the Blue Fin Kingdom and the Silver Kingdom became allies. They were not just allies because of the marriage between Princess Elaine and Fourth Prince Ethan, but also because the King of Blue Fin Kingdom became brothers with the King of Silver Kingdom after the fight, which afterwards started the really close alliance between the two kingdoms.

So, if they choose to go to the Blue Fin Kingdom, the latter would definitely not hesitate to send reinforcements to help. Adding to the fact, too, that the one endangered here is an important part of the Silver Kingdom force, Silver Mage Academy. They of course can't just allow that since that will also affect the total strength of their entire alliance, so the help was definitely a sure given.

Although it would definitely cost something in return since no one would just voluntarily give someone a free gift for nothing, though that is still just a small price to pay compared to all of the Silver Mage Academy's 1st-year students' life. After all, the moment all the 1st year students died, that would then become one of the focal points that will discourage the potential students next year to enroll in the Silver Mage Academy, which would then affect many more things. Adding more to the plate too, that the Noble Households of the dead 1st year students would definitely give the Silver Mage Academy a hard time, which might also affect the prestige of the Silver royal family.

”You are so smart teacher, Homer!” Axel quickly hugged teacher, Homer.

”Nah, it's not actually my idea... Teacher Lee had just transmitted a message to me a few seconds ago, saying that Lu Ming needed to undergo a ceremony with the Leviathan in order for him to finally make the Leviathan his Beast Companion, and that ceremony requires a day's worth of time, or maybe even more considering the fact that the teachers can interrupt the ceremony every now and then. So, he told me to go to the Blue Fin Kingdom, since it's a lot nearer than the Silver Kingdom, and ask them for assistance!” Teacher Homer didn't hesitate to explain.

”I don't have any reason to disagree, but how about those other students waiting in the dock?” Ehtelyn interrupted.

”Teacher Lee already sent out teacher Smith, teacher Candice, and teacher Daisy to hide those students somewhere in the Floating Mountain. I don't know where though, but all we can do right now is hope that they will never be found out until the reinforcement arrives.” Teacher Homer replied.

”Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!” Axel quickly said.

.....

After a few hours of walking, Leo, teacher Homer, and Axel, and the others finally arrived in the base of the Class 1E- during the trial competition, specifically located in the northwest edge of Floating Mountain. It was the part of the Floating Mountain with the longest stretch. This stretch would actually reduce the 50 kilometers distance by 5 kilometers, which is still a huge help nonetheless.

”How do we make this boat? Do you have any ideas, teacher Homer?” Leo curiously asked.

”Let's gather the materials needed for this boat and the trip. I will make the boat, while you guys would decide amongst yourselves who will cut some trees, gather some sizeable amount of stones and other kinds of ores if you find any, and look for enough food for the trip!”

Hearing teacher Homer's words, Leo nodded his head as he said, ”Axel, Aiden, and Matthew will be in charge of cutting down some trees. Me, Murgan, and David would be in charge of collecting the stones, and ores if we can indeed find any. And the rest of the girls will collect the food. Any questions?”

”None!” Axel's group agreed.

”Same goes for the two of us!” Murgan and David agreed.

”Giving the hard job to the boys sounds fair to me!” Ehtelyn also agreed.
