241 The Journey of the Legendary Adventurer (1/2)
In the darkness of the night, a giant shadow passed under the surface of the ocean, coming close to the south of the Tuten Dynasty. The shadow caused the calm ocean to become choppy.
As the waves struck the shore and the harbor, many ships that were docked in the harbor started tossing and bobbing. The crashing of the waves made the whole ocean sound very unsettling. As a giant shadow passed under the ship, the ocean water under the ships became very dirty.
Seagulls that were resting on the shore or nesting on the walls flew away in large groups, screaming as they went. It was as if they felt some sort of ominous danger.
The old keeper in the lighthouse also sensed some sort menacing movement. He was looking out at the sea, but he couldn't see anything in the dark.
There is no wind? That is so weird!
Under the cover of the night, a shadow slowly rode the waves. A naked woman then stepped onto the beach of Tephis. Her giant fishtail had turned into a pair of pretty, long legs.
Her name was Salita, and she was among the group who was ordered to search for the next queen of the Mermaid Kingdom by the prophecy. They had traversed through the endless ocean and finally reached the Alen Continent. They had finally made it to the world of the orcs and the humans from the legends!
Salita had spent several years on the Alen Continent by that time. The first place she arrived was a kingdom called Hollyma.
It was there that she had learned the human language and began to understand how humans lived. Their advanced civilization had far exceeded her expectations. Of course, in the process, Salita also suffered a great deal due to her ignorance.
Some evil humans had bad intentions for Salita. As she obviously wouldn't tolerate that, she doled out devastating punishments to them.
However, during that time, she had indeed gathered some powerful knowledge about the humans. She now knew that there were terrifying beings called priests and wizards.
These kinds of people were powerful and sinister. She didn't actually meet one herself, but just by hearing their reputations, she already knew that they were not good people.
It had been a bumpy journey thus far, but Salita had never forgotten her mission. She had finally found the Tuten Dynasty!
However, finding her little girl in this huge country would be difficult, as all Salita knew was her age, her name, and that she had blue hair. Salita searched along the coastal cities in hopes of finding a princess. Finally, in the southern Tuten Dynasty, in a city called Tephis, she sensed one of her kind by following her bloodline.
She was also one that didn't know how to cover up the scent of her power! This got Salita very excited.
”It that you Princess?” she murmured with a hopeful heart.
--------------------
Gina was now a thirteen-year-old young girl. Her eye-catching blue hair had now been dyed red, just like Marina's. This way, no one would question whether the two of them were sisters or not.
Compared to Marina's being a careless problematic girl, Gina was more kind and easy going. However, she was just like Marina in most every other way.
She was brave and adventurous. But, as she looked very innocent, many people often mistook her as being a shy girl, and that was very wrong!
At this moment, Gina had run back to Marina's quarters in a panic. She closed the door and jumped into the bath. She then shut the blinds and refused to come out.
”What happened?” Marina was confused.
Gina opened the blinds just a bit and poked her little head out of the slit. She said nervously, ”I met someone strange outside today!”
Marina asked, ”What strange person?”
