324 Unnoticed Variable (1/2)

Mercer and Merumi had just started to explore the ship when they saw Yale and Kaigur were walking together in the opposite direction.

”Oh, Mercer, I see that you had a good idea to help Merumi moving around the ship.”

Yale laughed when he saw the way Mercer was carrying Merumi like a princess.

”Treat her well, if you make her cry...”

Kaigur didn't like to see his sister being carried like a princess by Mercer, but since Mercer was Yale's disciple, he couldn't do anything about that. Thus, he decided to endure it as far as Mercer didn't make Merumi cry.

”Kaigur, Mercer will treat her very well, he is a very reliable kid. Mercer, until we return, you must take care of her.”

Mercer nodded to his master's words.

”Don't worry master. I will treat her very well. Now, we are exploring the ship.”

Yale smiled after hearing those words.

”Very well. After we return to the ship, you two can report to me any discovery you made.”

Yale knew very well every part of the ship, but Mercer didn't know that and was very happy seeing that his master was interested in his discoveries.

”You must play now that you have time. After your playtime ends, you will need to work hard.”

Mercer nodded again to Yale's words; he knew very well that he couldn't be playing all the time and that he also needed to work hard on training his water spells. Of course, since Yale was busy, Mercer knew that his lessons needed to wait.

”Brother, are you two already leaving? Weren't you going to plan the strategy?”

At that moment, Merumi spoke. She felt quite ashamed about her current position, but she couldn't believe that the strategy meeting ended so quickly.

”The strategy is already planned.”

Instead of Kaigur, the one who replied was Yale, but Merumi saw that her brother nodded at Yale's words, so she could only accept it even though she didn't understand the reasons.

When Yale and Kaigur left the ship, Mercer and Merumi just continued their expedition because they knew that going with them wasn't a good idea.

After all, Merumi believed that if it weren't because Yale needed someone to guide him, even Kaigur would have remained in the ship.

At that moment, Yale and Kaigur reappeared on the same place where they were talking before entering the Storage Space.

”Yale, it isn't that I have doubts about your plan, but you didn't tell us the whole plan. Are you sure that it would work?”

Initially, they were to plan some strategy together, but Yale suddenly made Kaigur end his explanation about the Mermaid Race headquarters, and then Yale started to transmit some orders individually.

Yale also forbade others to share their part of the plan, so besides Yale, no one knew the whole plan.

Kaigur's job was being Yale's guide, and he didn't receive any other order besides not telling others about the plan, but Kaigur believed that it was evident for everyone that he was only the guide.

”I am sure that the plan will work as long as everyone follows my instructions.”

Yale was confident in his plan, but that plan was quite special, so he didn't dare to disclose it to anyone.

”Using a normal plan, we may obtain the World Sea Pearl near the end of the quest time. I bet that it was the intention of my past life since that plan is the best option I almost all cases. Moreover, it matches with the time I have to fulfill the quest.”

Yale had already deduced how to execute that plan, that although was slow, it was stable, but he didn't plan to use it.
