Should I raise you too?

After quickly finishing her lunch, she walked out of the restaurant, activated her "spiritual vision," and began her investigation, starting from the restaurant corridor.

After inspecting the living quarters, she went to the cargo hold and unexpectedly ran into the captain and lieutenant.

They nodded and greeted each other politely. Edward and Owen thought that Elsie was Simon's direct subordinate, while Elsie thought that the captain and the lieutenant were Simon's seduced followers.

By evening, both sides had completed their checks and found nothing unusual; the ship was perfectly safe.

Elsie returned to her room and opened the glass panel.

"Mission Complete"

Simon noticed your initiative and acknowledges your efforts.

"You have received a reward—Simon's gaze."

The moment Elsie saw the reward, her scalp tingled.

I don't want the gaze of an evil god or anything like that! Don't give it to me!

Is a return okay? No need for the reward; I actually prefer working for free!

The answer was, of course, no. Elsie was on the verge of tears, and timidly looked around, wondering if that being was still looking at her.

Damn glass shards! I listened to you, I was supposed to stay away from danger, but now I'm getting closer and closer to it!

I really didn't want to be a lackey of an evil god!

Ugh……

Elsie collapsed onto the bed.

……

As night fell, the Kingdom Star slowed down, and Captain Edward went to the bridge to calculate the exact position with a sextant before slowly sailing into the Misty Sea.

The Misty Sea is not a specific sea area, but refers to a sea area shrouded in extraordinary power. It would be more appropriate to call it the Misty Zone. The mist is not real fog, but a kind of barrier to perception.

Ordinary people who enter this sea area will lose most of their hearing and vision; in severe cases, their sense of touch, taste, and thinking will also be affected.

The southern continent is surrounded by a misty sea, with only three passages open to navigation on specific dates. The Kingdom Star is about to enter one of these passages.

If you go the wrong way and leave the safe passage, entering the depths of the foggy sea, there is almost no chance of survival.

Edward kept watching until dawn, and breathed a sigh of relief as the bow of the ship disappeared into the gray sea fog.

The Kingdom Star increased its speed slightly. It would take about four days to cross the Misty Sea, and then another four days to reach the first port on the Southern Continent.

Edward handed the bridge to the first mate and instructed, "Keep a close eye on the course. Also, have the sailors and stewards watch the cabins. Except for the three hours at noon, the decks must not be open, and no one is allowed on deck!"

The crew members were already familiar with the procedure, but Edward would always give them a careful reminder before each voyage.

……

Even without the waiters' intervention, the passengers had no desire to walk on the deck; the feeling of being enveloped in white mist made everyone uncomfortable.

Only at noon, during the half hour when the sun is at its strongest, will the white fog briefly dissipate, and figures will appear on the deck.

First-class passengers who couldn't go to the deck all gathered in the common lounge, which became noisy and stuffy.

Simon, Eve, and Maria were in the suite, and the value of the suite was fully revealed at this moment.

"So boring." Eve lay on the sofa, motionless, like a fish being baked in the sun.

The ladies' common room was also packed, and Eve didn't want to go, so she couldn't even play the last game of "Old Maid" cards.

"Get up, what kind of behavior is this!" Ms. Maria patted Eve's lower abdomen.

“Mr. Simon doesn’t mind.” Eve rolled over, straightened the hem of her maid outfit, and made herself more comfortable.

Boredom emboldened her, and she ignored Maria's warnings.

Maria squinted, grabbed Eve's ear, and pulled her up from the sofa.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I was wrong!" Eve covered her ears and hurriedly begged for mercy.

“I don’t care when you wear a dress,” Maria scolded Eve, “but when you wear a maid’s dress, you have to look like a maid!”

"I understand." The little maid stood behind Simon with her head down, looking aggrieved.

Simon turned his gaze away from where Eve had been lying, with a hint of regret.

When the little maid is lying down, she can see a beautiful sight that is usually hard to see. Her long, slender legs, which are usually hidden under her skirt, will reveal their alluring lines and colors to Mr. Simon.

Simon suspected that Maria made Eve get up not to protect the reputation of the maid outfit, but to stop him from peeping.

Fortunately, he took a perfect photo just as Eve turned over.

"Eve's Absolute Territory.jpg"

“Tsk.” Alexandra expressed her disdain succinctly.

At the same time, she deeply sympathized with the little maid's words, and she also felt somewhat bored.

“There’s a siren nearby,” she said in Simon’s mind.

As a spirit, she possesses exceptional investigative abilities in the Misty Sea.

Simon closed the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and patted Eve on the head: "Let's go, let's go see the sirens."

Chapter 113 I Won't Be a Lackey of an Evil God (Bonus Chapter)

Elsie noticed it as the sailors operated the davit to suspend the workboat beside the deck.

It is 1 p.m. and we are within the open deck area, but no one is on deck.

Aside from the extraordinary, no one can tolerate the erosion of the senses by the white mist. Standing in this white mist is like being in a dream between waking and waking.

Resisting this feeling is quite simple: find a superhuman and create a spiritual wall to isolate yourself from it.

For example, those two ladies over there must have taken such precautions.

From afar, Elsie saw Simon, Eve, and Maria board the workboat, and the sailors slowly lowered the davit ropes, placing the small boat on the water.

Is this an expedition into the depths of the mist? No wonder he's an evil god, he's truly insane.

Elsie didn't step forward. Although it seemed like a good opportunity to get closer to that being, she really didn't want to become a lackey of the evil god.

Once she left the Misty Sea and arrived at the Southern Continent, she immediately ran away.

That being seemed quite easygoing, not like an evil god who actively kidnaps and recruits followers. If she runs away decisively, she might actually be able to get rid of the evil god!

Elsie eagerly awaited the Kingdom Star's rapid progress.

……

The small boat touched the surface of the sea. Simon untied the ropes at the bow and stern, and the waves pushed the small boat, making it sway against the side of the boat.

The small boat is not large, only 4 meters long, smaller than a regular lifeboat, and has a narrower hull, making it easier to row.

Eve and Maria picked up the oars on either side and tried rowing. The small boat spun around in place and almost crashed into the hull of the Kingdom Star.

Simon smiled as he watched them frantically trying to do something.

"No need to paddle," he reassured the two ladies.

The "Coral Crown" appeared in his hand, and as spiritual energy flowed into it, Simon felt himself become one with the sea beneath his feet.

He can sense the animals underwater and the wind on the water.

The "Coral Crown" is an artifact from the realms of "Ocean" and "Storm," with a greater proportion of the former and a smaller proportion of the latter.

He urged the water flow, propelling the small boat forward.

Eve and Maria stared at the water in astonishment, wondering how the small boat could move on its own.

Maria carefully put her hand into the water and felt the force of the current. She looked at Simon and realized that this was the same magical power she had felt during the Night of the Living Dead.

Eve mimicked Maria's movements, tested the propulsion in the water, and exclaimed in surprise.

The siren was not far from the Kingdom Star. The small boat quickly approached its target. Eve and Maria looked up and heard a melodious song. The song was getting closer and closer to them, and it was sung in an unknown language.

Before long, two sea monsters with the upper bodies of women and the lower bodies of eagles flew out from the white mist.

They circled above the small boat, their songs never ceasing. This singing attracted even more sirens, and the songs transformed from duets into a grand chorus. Sirens circled in droves above the small boat.

Eve and Maria were initially a little flustered, especially after they saw what the siren looked like. Maria gripped the wooden paddle tightly, ready to fight.

The enchanting song, said to soothe their nerves, gradually calmed their tension. Eve sat down beside Simon, looking up curiously, her cheeks slightly flushed. The sirens were naked.

The sky calmed down, but something else happened beneath the sea: heads emerged from the water, startling Eve.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the human head was connected to the human body, and the human body was connected to the fish tail.

“Mermaids…” Maria recalled the legendary story.

The mermaids circled the small boat, humming songs along with the siren, creating a harmonious melody. The siren's voice was hoarse, while the mermaids' voices were clear, like the wind blowing across the water—the wind was howling, and the water was murmuring.

As the song played, the azure "coral crown" shone with a soft glow.

Eve and Maria were immersed in the symphony, while Simon leaned against the deck, enjoying it with Alysand.

This symphony has no time limit; it is an impromptu chant, not a specific ballad.

Eve took out a picnic basket, and the three of them enjoyed a simple lunch on the sea, accompanied by fantastical songs.

Maria finished the last bite of her sandwich, looked up at the sky where the sirens stood in orderly fashion, and then looked at the sea where the mermaids looked solemn.
