Chapter 309 - Kingdom Of The Deep Sea (I) (2/2)

”We might have nothing materialistic to give you all but I can give you one thing that you guys might be interested. Since you lot seems to be adventurers, this thing might be more of a blessing and useful to you all.”

She then held her left palm out and a small Ice looking artifact appeared out of thin air.

I squinted my eyes and inspected the thing on her hands.

[Blessing of the Primordial Sea God]

Effect: When applied to a person who doesn't have this blessing, the person will gain the ability to breathe underwater and gain the ability to borrow a partial power of the sea. An additional bonus is that whenever near the water or using an ability that has something to do with either an Ice or Water element will increase its effects in the process.

...

Are my eyes deceiving me? Isn't this the ability of the item that was in possession of the Sea God and was stolen by Serbal in Sandurk?! How is it possible they can create a Blessing this good? Not only do we benefit if we are near a body of water or uses water magic, even breathing underwater is a big blessing already!

”Is the reward unsatisfactory?”

I shook my head.

”This is already too much. I thought you would give us some sort of item or anything but to give up a big power-up, that is on another level of compensation and reward.”

”Ha, you flatter us, but to us, this is nothing and I can even say that this is pretty cheap coming from us giving you guys these but we are planning to give more once we reach the Kingdom of the Deep Sea,” Sera smiled.

”Are you sure about this Sis? We never usually give this blessing to someone outside our race. We might get in trouble in the process.”

”Li, I know you are afraid we break rules but that doesn't mean that rules still exist today. We can't be sure how long has it been since we ”disappeared” in this world and how long has it been since we get to interact with this world. We can't be sure about our situations. Breaking a few taboos from time to time is not something you need to be afraid of doing. No one is harmed and if it is taboo, how come there are others who are willingly going to abuse it? Now stop being stiff.”

”I see, so you are all willing to break a few taboos to fulfill the contract. Well then, since you guys are willing to do much, then in the name of our group, we will accept. I don't know how long we will be on this but I look forward to working with the two of you.”

A prompt appeared before me and to my surprise, the quest is labeled as ”Side Story Quest.”

[The Kingdom of the Deep Sea]

Type: Side story Quest

Objective: Find a clue on the two merfolks' circumstances and learn the truth.(Objective will be completed once someone received it or learned it.)

Info: In the unknown timeline where two people are stuck in the past, it is your job to let them cope with the current timeline and learn what they needed to do in the present timeline they are now in.”

With that, everything is now settled and wrapped up.. Now we are ready to go and the Kingdom of the Deep Sea and do the quest.
