Chapter 321 - The Wish (II) (1/2)

”Why do you say so, Lifera? You are the most trusted aid of my father and since when we are still kids, you also took care of us. Why would you say the seas will be in bad hands if you have this thing with you?” Sera frowned at Lifera's remark to himself.

”You already know that, Sera-sama. I have the tendency to be impulsive and you have witnessed earlier that I would sometimes exhibit villainous behavior. I would rather have to stay away from those things rather than have them near me.”

Ah, he might be talking about the time he wanted to stop Sera and Li from going. He was indeed exhibiting some wild tendencies and I thought I would have to fight a mini-boss fight with him but I was wrong.

”Anyways, this heart is said to hold some powers to protect the seas and to give a strong power to do something that I have no idea what it was. It was clear that it is related to the power of the Primordial Sea God but who knows. Also, according to the sources, it can at least grant one wish to anyone who wanted to use it. That might be the reason for some greedy-minded people to actually seek this thing out and steal it.”

”It can grant a wish? This is the first time I have heard of it,” Li scratches his head.

”If it can grant a wish, then, can this ”heart” revive everyone who died from the necrosis and the attacks of the necromancer who took over the kingdom?”

”As much as I want to say it can, it cannot. Despite being a wish granter, this is not an omnipotent wishing device. It can grant any physical wish or whatever wish but like most things, it can't grant something impossible like the end of the world and of course, reviving the dead,” Lifera immediately denied.

A wish granter...is this perhaps...?

”There are much more things I can say about it but since you just asked what this thing can do, I wouldn't say anything unnecessary anymore to expand the topic of it. But if you want to dive deeper, perhaps I can tell you more.”

”I guess that is enough. Thanks for the information. As much as I want to stay longer, we still have some things to do too. If not for the request of the siblings, we will not take this long either. By the way, what shall we do with this thing?” I still held out the heart of the sea god.

”You keep it. As the human saying goes, ”Finders keepers” right? I doubt Sera-sama and Li-sama would like them unless they also wanted a wish to be granted,” Lifera suggested.

”Lifera is right, we don't have anything that we can wish for. Since it can't revive the dead, we have less reason to keep it. You should keep it as a keepsake, Bladeheart. Perhaps you will have something that you can use of it,” Sera nodded in agreement.

I didn't think that this thing that I just randomly picked up back when we are swallowed by the Ice Devilfish would have something that would be very useful to us.

”So how can this thing grant wishes? How do you do that?” I asked.

”There isn't definitive proof but according to the records, you just need to hold the thing in your hands and say your wish out loud. I don't know if it was plausible but you just needed to try it out.”

After our discussions and paying respects to the deceased, we left the kingdom and we are escorted by Lifera. Sera and Li will still be staying for a little bit before they will leave. As for us, it would be the same thing, our task is to reclaim the Insect Kingdom from the grasp of Alexandria. Now that one of the demons is dead, it is clear that the remaining one will now begin to unleash into the offensive this time around.

Just like before, we ride on the boat that Lina made to use to descend to the portal to the Kingdom of the Deep Sea. According to Sera and Li, to return to the surface from the Maelstrom, we will be using the same boat but this time, we will be getting the power of the blessings of the Primordial Sea God to allow us to go back to the surface without trouble.

Before we left back to the surface, the siblings bid goodbye to us.
