Chapter 180: Chapter 171: The Fury of the Sea (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Taking advantage of the thick fog and night, Lette left the fishing port gathering area. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to unfreeze the Wind Bell.

He also felt closely that there was indeed some kind of mysterious power on the Wind Bell that couldn’t be classified.

Although it was very small, it indeed existed.

When the two of them returned to the reliable grocery store, Lilith was already digesting the essence of desecration. Emily, however, was rather bored and went to chat with the Little Mermaid.

Lette didn’t want to disturb Lilith, so he took Unica to the warehouse.

"Oh! You finally returned."

Emily got up to greet them: "How was it, did you find anything?"

"We listened to the sleep talk confession of an old man, but we managed to discover some clues."

Lette pulled up a chair to sit down and briefly recounted the matters of the small fishing village. Unica stood beside him, adding some details.

"I know that village!"

Suddenly, the Little Mermaid jumped back into the bathtub in the big wardrobe from the pond, splashing her tail.

"It’s a blessed village."

"Hegro Fishing Village, so famous? Even your Sea Clan knows about it?"

"That little village is called Hegro, huh."

The Little Mermaid lightly tapped her red lips with her finger: "I only remember, when I was young, my father emperor told me that there was a small fishing village on the other side of the mountains and the sea, where the people are kind and pure.

The sea was moved by their gem-like clear and shining souls, granting them abundance and peace."

Unica hurriedly asked: "Are you sure it wasn’t the Sea God, but the sea?"

The Little Mermaid tilted her head: "The Sea God and the sea are certainly different.

It’s like the sun and the Sun God, the sky and the Heavenly God. The sea is the sea, the Sea God is the Sea God.

Miss Unica is the Chief Detective, do you think the Police Department and the Police Chief are the same thing?"

"Ah... this..."

"Then, who is more powerful, the Police Chief or the Police Department?"

"This... this can’t be compared, right?"

The Little Mermaid spread her hands: "Exactly, the Sea God and the sea are actually in this kind of relationship.

From childhood, my father emperor educated me to always maintain reverence for the sea. Don’t think you are great just because you are from the Sea Emperor Clan and have the bloodline of the Sea God.

What is truly remarkable is the sea itself."

This saying left Emily and Unica very conflicted. In their understanding, the Sea Emperor Clan is the ruler of the sea. The Sea God is an exalted deity.

But Lette probably understood what the Little Mermaid meant.

"In summary, the sea valued this village’s noble souls and granted them abundance and peace.

And the people in the village maintained this blessing by staying pure.

As a result, the City Lord of Harbor City used various means to pollute their souls, desecrating their purity.

Which led to the sea no longer bestowing blessings, but even cursing them."

Lette knitted his brows into a furrow: "Why does it sound like some apple-stealing story?"

The Little Mermaid lay seriously in the bathtub and said.

"If they really angered the sea, it’s very likely that even the Sea God cannot forgive them. They have to do certain things to seek the sea’s forgiveness."

Unica was very anxious: "What specific things are you referring to?"

"...I don’t know either."

"You’re from the Sea Emperor Clan, and you don’t know?"

The Little Mermaid shook her head helplessly: "Because! The will of the sea is very vague... If it were the Sea God, at least we could ask."

Lette held back the agitated Unica: "We all understand your urgency. But this kind of thing, urgency won’t help.

Forget the sea, every time the Police Chief gets mad at you, do you completely understand why?"

Unica paused, then recalled her various experiences as a new officer, before weakly shaking her head.

"I couldn’t figure out... some I didn’t understand at the time, but I later knew why. Some, I still haven’t figured out..."

Lette clapped his hands: "Exactly, you might not completely understand why your commanding officer or family are angry with you.

Understanding why the sea would be angry is even more difficult, right?

So, you can’t be hasty."

"But I feel like someone is really in a hurry."

Emily suddenly spoke up: "That serial killer, very likely born in the fishing village. Now, he might be trying to use such means to calm the sea’s anger."

"Would such methods even appease anger?"

Emily spread her hands: "He might not know, but maybe he wants to try? When people don’t know what to do, they might make random moves.

If someone incites him, like a certain Liar Demon."

Lette shook his head: "Speculating won’t help us discover anything. Since this matter is related to the City Lord, we should head straight for him, interrogate the City Lord.

See if he went to the fishing village intentionally or unintentionally.

By then, everything will naturally become clear."

Unica shook her head: "I, I still feel we should go see the crime scene! Which is the submerged Hegro Fishing Village.

According to proper investigation procedures, we should inspect the site first before questioning the witnesses!"

Lette pursed his lips: "I hate procedures."

Emily sighed: "The main issue is we’re short-handed now. The Liar Demon is lurking outside, and besides Lette, only Lilith can move.

However, Lilith is currently unavailable.

As for me, while the fog isn’t dense during the day, I can manage. But with the thick fog at night, without Lette, I wouldn’t dare act rashly."

Lette suddenly smiled: "Don’t worry, by tomorrow, the situation will turn around."

"Tomorrow? Why?"

"Tomorrow, Alice is coming."

Lette slowly clenched his fist: "With Alice joining us, the Liar Demon’s home advantage will be ours!

Her arrival will sound the horn for our counterattack."

Unica looked at Emily: "Um, is Alice the other witch sister you mentioned?"

"Yes! The Dream Witch!"

"Wow, that sounds really powerful. When will I be able to influence the battlefield like her?"

"Sigh... Indeed."

Emily and Unica both felt dejected.

Among the witches they knew, the Blood Witch Scarlett had become the ruler of the Dark Race, with formidable strength.

The Light Witch Joanna, not to mention, had already become a god.

The Dream Witch Alice’s abilities within the Dream Realm were such that even Lette wanted to rely on her.

Even the suspected Witch Gretel, was a mermaid princess over four hundred years old, with formidable power.

As for themselves...

Emily managed a bit better, but Unica was extremely disheartened.

"Some things shouldn’t be rushed, you need to take one step at a time."

Lette pointed at Emily: "She used to be just a regular mage, now no one below the Holy Rank can defeat her, and those above the Holy Rank she can at least match.

If she advances to the Holy Rank and completes her Holy Artifact,

Generally speaking, I could also let her act on her own.

This all happened in about two months’ time.

From a layman’s perspective, it’s already as fast as riding a rocket.

Of course, she’s still a bit slower compared to me."

Emily curiously nudged Lette’s back: "So, how long did it take you to reach the Holy Rank from the beginning?"

"Have you ever heard of ’Morning quest for knowledge, evening is enough to die’?"

"No, what does it mean?"

"It means, if you start learning in the morning, by evening I can beat you."

Emily was skeptical: "Really?"

"I’ve always been quick at learning."

"That’s not the point!"

Unica sighed with slight frustration: "I’m starting to doubt whether I’m really a witch. It feels like I don’t possess any extraordinary talent you’ve mentioned.

Even though I might be good at alchemy, compared to you, it hardly counts as talent."

Lette and Emily exchanged glances, at a loss on how to comfort Unica.

Indeed, among the known witches, apart from Unica, the others all possessed exceptional talents.

Emily, although she initially seemed ordinary, it was mostly due to her teacher Moslian’s poor guidance.

Considering how she quickly progressed from Super Sensory, to Super Body, and even in the Dream Realm achieved Sixth Realm of Super Fusion surpassing Lette,

Her talent indeed placed her in the same league as Joanna and others.

Consequently, Unica’s performance seemed somewhat unsatisfactory.

Moreover, her current situation was complex, with half of her witch powers being in the Little Mermaid Princess.

What was really going on needed further investigation.

"Do you want to learn alchemy?"

The Little Mermaid suddenly spoke: "I can teach you."

"Eh? Really? Princess, you know alchemy?"

"Just call me Gretel; this isn’t the Sea Palace."

The Little Mermaid proudly hugged her shoulders and said: "Among my brothers and sisters, I’m the most talented. Magic, alchemy, Sea Fighting Skills, Tide Summoning Prayer!

I’m number one in all these!"

Lette was puzzled: "Can Sea Clan Alchemy be taught to humans?"

"Of course, as long as you’re willing to learn, the Sea Clan wouldn’t mind. However, Sea Clan Alchemy is related to the Innate Bloodline.

To humans, probably regular alchemy might be easier to use since it doesn’t have the Bloodline Power threshold.

But for just getting started and building a foundation, it’s not a problem at all."

Emily raised her hand: "Excuse me, what makes Sea Clan Alchemy different?"

"The principle is the same, but Sea Clan Alchemy uses seawater as the ingredient."

"All seawater!"

Emily got a bit restless: "I’ve seen... some using alchemy. The alchemy materials were vast in variety.

Minerals, plants, animal hair, extracts, and many things of unclear significance.

And you guys just use seawater!"

"Yes! That’s why it’s difficult."

The Little Mermaid spread her hands: "But think, if you master Sea Clan Alchemy. Then the entire sea becomes your material repository!

The power compared to Ocean Magic, Sea Fighting Energy, and Tide Summoning Prayer, all would be stronger!

Calling yourself the master of the sea wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

This is why our Sea Emperor Clan prioritizes Sea Clan Alchemy.

Also, the reason our Sea Emperor Clan, though the smallest in number, holds the highest authority.

Is largely because our talent in Sea Clan Alchemy enables us to reach heights other Sea Clans cannot."

Lette pondered: "Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the Sea Clan’s strict hierarchy...

Since Gretel is willing to teach you. Unica, you should start learning.

Although the difficulty is high, if you successfully initiate, transitioning to regular alchemy will be easier.

It’s like, starting with strong alcohol at a drinking party, then switching to weaker drinks won’t feel as strong anymore."

"What a strange analogy!"

"It’s just a little life tip."

Lette suddenly pointed at Emily: "You! Come audit the class as well!"

"Eh? I don’t want to learn alchemy."

"Alchemy, magic, arcane, witchcraft, they’re fundamentally connected. You’ve been stuck before the Holy Rank for quite some time, perhaps it’s beneficial to supplement from other aspects.

You might just have an epiphany suddenly!"

Lette stretched lazily: "I’m going to nap, so tomorrow I’ll be full of energy for Alice’s arrival."

"Ah! So sneaky! I want to be refreshed to meet Alice too!"
