Chapter 829: Mermaid Acts Recklessly

Da Chun Ai Lian immediately went to the lighthouse, where a mermaid's indistinct voice came from inside: "Understood, I'll go to Bronze City to rescue people first, then to Black Iron City."

Da Chun was dumbfounded! Did that mean she was going to Bronze City to rescue Sariel? No, why? What right did she have to?! Her going to Bronze City for no reason was already tantamount to overstepping her authority, wasn't it? Not to mention ruining the other party's plans—wasn't this deliberately giving them leverage?
But perhaps this is just how NPCs operate? Even if they're trying to take advantage of players, they can't just leave without giving anything in return. Sariel is the one who openly supports her the most, making her the guardian of two cities; she'll naturally have to repay him, right? Saving people is the bare minimum, isn't it?

Even though that's what he thought, Da Chun was still conflicted and upset. He didn't know whether he had cheated on Shi Lao or Shi Lao had cheated on him—the more he thought about it, the more indignant Da Chun became, and the more he wanted to dump Sheila to make up for it.

Ellen exclaimed in surprise, "My divine mirror is connected to Biliana! Darling, let's go to the mansion and learn a foreign language!"

Da Chun could only calm himself down and say, "Alright..."

Upon arriving at the mansion, the mirror displayed only sound, not images.

Eileen said, "Because it's too far away, and we're doing everything we can to ensure clear sound transmission, we're filtering out the images."

Biliana said, "You've gotten stronger again, my dear, you're so biased!"

The sound was indeed clear!

Da Chunhan said, "That's why I'm starting to learn bat language now."

Biliana laughed, "Alright, we've made contact with the Crystal Bat. It's daytime now, and it doesn't have much to do except sleep, so there's plenty of time to teach it..."

Da Chun decided to give a heads-up first, just in case something unexpected happened and communication was interrupted: "Also, the Mermaid Guardian will be staying in Black Iron City for a while soon. Try to contact someone reliable you can to protect her."

Biliana exclaimed in surprise: "Is something terrible about to happen?"

"Correct."

Biliana laughed and said, "I'm finding life too boring, I'm really looking forward to it."

No! I don't expect that!

Just then, a squeaking sound came from the mirror.

Biliana said, "This is the voice from the crystal bat, meaning Master Dachun. Let's begin learning."

Da Chun is sweating bullets. How am I supposed to learn this? Squeak, squeak, squeak? I guess I'll just have to rely on my wits and grit my teeth for now.

"Please have it demonstrate this hundreds of times!"

On the tenth demonstration, the inevitable finally arrived—system notification: Your extraordinary wisdom has successfully integrated your Archdruid Elder class skill "Master Craftsman's Spirit Perception," your Scavenger class skill "Leviathan's Power," and Basic Dragon Language, gaining insights into "Advanced Bat Language." Your Scholar class experience has been increased.

Bat-like advanced language?

Da Chun's heart skipped a beat. He had considered the Scavenger factor for the Wise Druid, but he hadn't expected that Basic Dragon Language was also related to Bat Language? Because Dragon Shout has an ultrasonic shock effect, the two are connected in this respect?

Speaking of which, I learned Dragon Language a thousand years ago. My alt account sent Xiao Nan to Black Dragon City to find the lizardman mentor Isaac, while I, with a little flower in my hair, sat in on the sidelines and audited the lessons. The order in which Isaac taught was simple and clear, something like "fangs," "claws," "wind," "fire," "thunder," "lightning," "gold," "silver," "copper," "iron," "gods," "demons," "lizards"... In short, it was about understanding oneself first, then understanding nature, and then understanding friend and foe.

So, since there are already existing learning experiences available, you shouldn't try to learn randomly.

Da Chun asked, "How do you say 'tooth'?"

Divine Mirror: "Squeak—" —System Notification: You have gained insights into "Advanced Bat Language." Your Scholar Profession experience has increased. Your Basic Dragon Language experience has increased.

Da Chun was astonished; he had actually managed to teach them the basics of dragon language!

I remember Isaac saying that, due to limitations such as racial pronunciation, most people could only learn basic dragon language.

However, my main account is different. As soon as my main account came out, it was blessed by the old whale and became powerful enough to use ultrasonic waves. My main account is no longer an ordinary race!
Holy crap, if I can learn dragon language, I absolutely have to study it diligently. According to Isaac, dragon magic is incredibly advanced once you learn it! And once my bat language has a hint of dragon language in it, what's there to be afraid of withstanding from those bats?

Da Chun got excited: "What did Claw say?"

……

The sewers of Bronze City.

Sariel was incredibly agitated. He wanted to find the little animal, but it kept flashing and was quite difficult to spot.

Left with no other option, they resorted to an offline wargaming system to deduce the optimal deployment plan for the All-Seeing Eye. As long as uninterrupted monitoring could be maintained, Sariel would have a way to capture them.

Just then, the butler urgently interrupted the live stream: "The mermaid has come to Bronze City despite the Silver Church's warnings!"

Sariel was both surprised and delighted: "My darling has come to save me?!"

Michael was shocked: "What's going on? This shouldn't be happening!"

Sariel snapped back to reality and panicked: "That's right! How could my darling come? This is going to cause trouble!"

As expected, the voice of the Bronze Guardian rang out over the city: "Lady Helen of the Silver Throne, your unauthorized arrival constitutes an overreach of your authority."

The mermaid, wrapped in a ball of water, went straight to the nearest sewer, lifted the cover, and laughed, "I'm here to find a missing BY citizen. It's my duty, not overstepping my authority, is it?"

As they spoke, a massive flood suddenly gathered in the sewer. Wherever the flood passed, the sewer covers on the street were shaken into the air by the powerful and surging water pressure, and pedestrians and vehicles along the road were drenched and caused a great uproar.

The Bronze Guardian said angrily, "Your Excellency Helen of the Silver Throne, you overstepped your authority first, and now you're disrupting traffic in Bronze City and interfering with the operation of the sewers. I'm going to report your reckless behavior to the Imperial Church Headquarters!"

The mermaid laughed dismissively, "I was clearly cleaning your sewers, you should be thanking me..."

Sariel was frantic! First an oak guardian reported it, then a bronze guardian reported it; the Emperor had no choice but to take action.

Before he could think any further, Sariel felt the surrounding space trembling violently and heard the roar of a flood.

Such an intricate maze is about to be breached so simply and brutally! My little darling, you're amazing!
The next moment, with a loud bang, the floodwaters pushed the wind pressure towards him, and Sariel used the wind to push open a nearby cover and see the light of day again!
Sariel immediately transformed into an angel and flew to the vicinity of the teleportation plaza where the mermaid was located: "My... God Throne, I'm here!"

The mermaid immediately turned and left: "I'm going to play in Black Iron City."

Sariel was stunned, but didn't have time to ask any more questions. After all, what they feared most right now was that the Bronze City would suddenly close its teleportation array, making it impossible to leave.

Fortunately, Bronze City wasn't so impulsive and didn't shut down the teleportation array over such a trivial matter as cleaning the road. Mermaid and Sariel were successfully teleported to Iron City.
