Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2386
2386 New Thearch’s Scale!
Left without a choice, all Smooth Flow could do was pass on the message according to Extreme Ocean’s wishes.
Smooth Flow only let out a breath of relief when he emerged from the palace of the final royal attendant, Frozen Ocean.
Smooth Flow decided to have a good talk with Extreme Ocean in his capacity as his oldest servant.
Extreme Ocean had a one-track mind. He did not think much, nor did he act much.
If Smooth Flow was not Extreme Ocean’s servant, he would have described Extreme Ocean as a brainless body with a good source totem!
When Smooth Flow returned to the palace and was about to report to Extreme Ocean, he saw that Extreme Ocean had truly taken out the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves.
Smooth Flow bowed to Extreme Ocean and walked over to him before he said, “Lord, I have sent out the message just like you asked. All the other three royal attendants are suspicious but are willing to participate in the banquet!”
As he watched Extreme Ocean swirl the cup that contained the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, Smooth Flow said, “Lord, can you really bear to use it?”
Extreme Ocean turned and looked at the worried Smooth Flow before he gently patted Smooth Flow’s shoulder.
“Smooth Flow, you have been with me for almost 5,000 years. You have done your job well all this time. Come, let’s share a cup! The Wine of Exquisite Water Waves was always meant to be served to guests. The three of them won’t leave until they have finished all of it!”
Extreme Ocean turned the jade teapot and poured out a shining substance resembling amazonite into two cups.
Extreme Ocean knew that Smooth Flow wanted to ask him for the reason.
If this was any other matter, regardless of how big of a secret it was, Extreme Ocean would not have kept it from Smooth Flow.
However, this matter concerned Lin Yuan and a faction from another world. The fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be.
Their companionship of over thousands of years was not worth more than personal profits.
When Extreme Ocean tipped his head back and drank the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, he immediately felt his body being cleansed.
If Lin Yuan saw the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves that Extreme Ocean regarded as a precious treasure, he would be shaking his head in disappointment.
To Lin Yuan, the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves was nothing more than a bottle of concentrated water elements. When judged based on the purity of elemental pearls, the purity of the water elements in the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves was only around 93%. At such a level, there would even be pearl radiance.
When Smooth Flow did not pick up the cup containing the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, Extreme Ocean personally placed the cup in Smooth Flow’s hands and said seriously, “Smooth Flow, do you believe that there are other worlds besides this one?”
Extreme Ocean clearly remembered asking Smooth Flow this question about 2,000 years ago.
At that time, Smooth Flow had answered no. Frankly, Extreme Ocean’s answer was the same at the time.
He had asked Smooth Flow this question then because Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers had suddenly posed this question during a meeting. It had taken Extreme Ocean by great surprise.
But he was asking the same question now with a completely different mindset because he already knew what the right answer was.
Previously, Extreme Ocean wondered why the two rulers would try something so dangerously deadly, like fusing themselves when they were already so strong.
But now, he had the answer.
The two rulers had indeed been much stronger than the four royal attendants.
The two rulers had recognized greater heights that had still been hidden from the four of them at the time. Thus, they did not stop trying to increase their power.
Smooth Flow gave the same answer as he did last time. “Lord, you are already at the top of this world. How could a world exist that even you cannot see?”
The edges of Extreme Ocean’s lips curled. “Smooth Flow, do you think you’ll eventually be able to see a world beyond this one? Hurry and drink up the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves. Once you’ve drunk the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, you should be able to reach pinnacle Turning Wheel Realm! Soon, you’ll be able to experience what it’s like to be part of the Samsara Realm!
“There is the Deep Chasm Sea Eye in Mermaid Forbidden Sea. It plays a big part in enabling Mermaid Forbidden Sea to produce as many Samsara Realm Dictators as they do. If the Deep Chasm Sea Eye was in the Grace Sacred Hall’s territory, the two rulers’ fusion might not have failed!”
Smooth Flow had personally participated in the two rulers’ assassination and had even contributed many useful ideas to Extreme Ocean that benefited him significantly.
This was why his position with Extreme Ocean was so secure.
Smooth Flow believed that the two rulers had died because of the four royal attendants. Otherwise, even if something had gone wrong with their fusion and producing their offspring, the two rulers should have recovered after thousands of years of recuperation.
Extreme Ocean’s mentioning of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye caused Smooth Flow to recall a legend about the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.
“Lord, it’s said that mermaids are lifeforms that come from the Deep Chasm Sea Eye! I don’t know if this is true. Is there really the mermaid’s long-lost treasure, the New Thearch’s Scale, really in the Deep Chasm Sea Eye?”
Extreme Ocean had heard even more legends about Mermaid Forbidden Sea than Smooth Flow had.
Firstly, it was difficult to tell which legend about Mermaid Forbidden Sea was true.
Besides mermaids, other lifeforms were not allowed to reach the deepest regions of Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
Moreover, Extreme Ocean had always been very suspicious about mermaids.
It was clear that their bloodline distinction strongly ruled all of them.
It was even said that the more elite mermaids even saw the inferior mermaids as worthless.
However, elite mermaids were always willing to protect inferior mermaids.
Grace Sacred Hall often had the chance to catch small mermaid teams.
Grace Sacred Hall always wanted to try catching the small mermaid teams and forcing them to become spies.
However, the idea had not come to fruition even after thousands of years had passed.
Even the mermaids with the most inferior bloodlines were extremely stubborn.
Extreme Ocean was arrogant but would never dare to flippantly bring up something that he was unsure of.
“The legend about the New Thearch’s Scale has always existed in Mermaid Forbidden Sea. It was said that gaining the New Thearch’s Scale from the Deep Chasm Sea Eye would allow one’s blood to reach thearch-class.
“However, there are no mermaids in the Mermaid Forbidden Sea with the thearch-class bloodline. If there were, there wouldn’t be a place for Grace Sacred Hall in this world! So, there can’t be any mermaid emperors who have already obtained the New Thearch’s Scale! If this legend is true, it hasn’t been verified yet!”
The image of Lin Yuan’s figure suddenly appeared in Extreme Ocean’s mind.
If Lin Yuan stepped in and used the Samsara Realm Dictators to defeat the mermaids from Mermaid Forbidden Sea, he could personally enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye and verify the legend!
