101: The Strange Mermaid Kingdom

Because after Victor's initial joy, he suddenly realized that since Arthur could now summon Legendary Experts, his own strength as a Sky Knight would no longer be sufficient to guard Arthur day and night!

For those summoned like Victor, Arthur was everything, and being able to silently guard Arthur's side was a great honor.

Now that he was about to lose this honor, Victor naturally felt down.

Indeed, with Arthur summoning Legendary Experts, using stronger guardians was a foregone conclusion.

So, Victor's sorrow could only be borne by him alone.

...After the two entered the hut, Victor bid farewell again. Merfolk Queen Dorina and the others knew Victor's determination to leave and did not try to persuade him to stay, only instructing him to be careful.

After Victor left, Arthur was the only human remaining in the hut.

Merfolk Queen Dorina considered that both she and the other Merfolk Legendary Expert were from the previous generation, and prolonged interaction with Arthur might be awkward, so she left the space to Dolia and Arthur.

Moreover, Merfolk Queen Dorina had just acquired five forbidden curse scroll, and she was already eager to plan a counterattack!

After that, she wouldn't have time to accompany Arthur.

When only Arthur and Dolia were left in the hut, with Dolia's personality, how could she sit still?

She immediately wanted to fulfill her previous agreement with Arthur: to take Arthur to explore the entire Merfolk Royal City.

It was Arthur's first time visiting a Sea Race city, and he was also willing to tour and learn about it. Thus, with a few guards following far behind them, the two went to explore the city.

On the way from the Royal Palace to the city, Arthur remembered that Dolia's previous space teleportation scroll had been used, so he took out another teleportation scroll and gave it to Dolia.

Perhaps due to their increasingly close relationship, Dolia did not refuse this time.

After all, a younger sister naturally accepts a gift from her older brother with ease!

Not refusing didn't mean not being grateful. Dolia had just been saved by a space teleportation scroll not long ago.

Therefore, Dolia was very happy and grateful to receive such a precious item again.

In her excitement, she immediately grabbed Arthur's hand and wouldn't let go, like a real younger sister, leading Arthur around the Merfolk Royal City.

Speaking of which, the Merfolk Royal City is a rather peculiar city.

Due to the Merfolk's amphibious nature, half of the city is submerged in water, and the other half is separated by a magic array, resembling land.

Dolia had actually visited the Royal City countless times, but perhaps because Arthur was by her side, she was exceptionally excited today, constantly saying:

"This is beautiful, this is interesting..."

Arthur looked at the lively Dolia beside him, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

During their stroll, Arthur discovered that the Merfolk Clan's goods were indeed very different from those in human kingdoms.

There were various inexpensive ornaments made from shells!

And various high-end ornaments made from pearls and gems!

Among them, there were many pearls the size of a child's fist. While astonished, Arthur thought of Karona and Olivia and bought two.

Additionally, there were various weapons and armors with styles vastly different from those in the kingdom, which greatly broadened Arthur's horizons!

The Merfolk Clan's Royal City was even larger than Arthur's Initial City, with one city wall alone being ten kilometers long.

Arthur and Dolia explored for three days and only managed to see a rough outline!

During the three days Arthur and Dolia were sightseeing, Merfolk Queen Dorina was contemplating how to use the five forbidden curse scroll to secure victory in the war.

She ultimately decided to launch a surprise attack on the Naga Royal City.

Only a surprise attack could maximize the power of the five forbidden curse scroll.

Otherwise, if the Water Attribute Giant Dragon and the Naga Clan's Legendary Expert reacted, they might be able to avoid a lot of damage.

Conversely, if it were a surprise attack on the Naga Royal City, the five forbidden curse scroll could completely cover the entire city.

As long as the Dragon and that Legendary Expert were in the city, they wouldn't be able to escape the damage.

This would maximize the effect of the forbidden curse scroll.

Thus, to launch a surprise attack on the Naga Royal City, not many people were needed; in fact, the fewer the better, to achieve the element of surprise.

So, in Merfolk Queen Dorina's plan, it would be enough for just her and another Legendary Expert from her clan to go.

However, just in case.

After learning that Arthur had given Dolia another space teleportation scroll, Merfolk Queen Dorina speculated that Arthur probably had many such scrolls.

So, on the third day of Arthur's stay in the Merfolk Royal City, when he returned to his room after sightseeing with Dolia, she came to his room to find him.

Arthur had played until it was completely dark before returning to his room.

Merfolk Queen Dorina coming to find him at this time startled Arthur, as it was just a man and a woman alone.

But before Arthur could think too much, Merfolk Queen Dorina stated her purpose for coming: she wanted to buy space teleportation scrolls from Arthur.

Hearing this, Arthur felt a bit awkward about his own wild thoughts and quickly cleared his mind.

He began to consider Merfolk Queen Dorina's request. Arthur would naturally earn money that was offered to him, so he nodded in agreement:

"Aunt Dorina, I do have extra space teleportation scrolls. How many would you like to buy?"

Merfolk Queen Dorina knew how precious space teleportation scrolls were, so she didn't dare to ask for too many at first, tentatively saying:

"How about three?"

Arthur was taken aback by this number because he thought it was too few. Even at the highest price for a space teleportation scroll, five million gold coins each, three would only be fifteen million gold coins.

Of course, it was also because Merfolk Queen Dorina and Arthur had a good relationship; otherwise, Arthur wouldn't dare to sell so many to just anyone.

After all, such rare items could potentially harm himself.

For example, if a space teleportation scroll fell into the hands of his enemies, it would be difficult for Arthur to seek revenge then.

So Arthur wouldn't sell just anything; it depended on the person.

Someone like Merfolk Queen Dorina, who was both wealthy and trustworthy, was a rare find!

Thus, Arthur was naturally unwilling to only earn fifteen million gold coins!

On the other side, Merfolk Queen Dorina saw Arthur pause at the number she stated and thought she had asked for too many!

After all, in her impression, space teleportation scrolls were extremely precious items, so she quickly added:

"If three is too many, one is fine too!"

Hearing this, Arthur knew Merfolk Queen Dorina had misunderstood and couldn't help but smile:

"Aunt Dorina, I paused not because you asked for too many, but because you asked for too few!

How can three be enough? I think ten would be better; ten should be enough for you to use for a while!"

"Ten!"

Arthur's nouveau riche demeanor startled Merfolk Queen Dorina.

Then Merfolk Queen Dorina began to ponder what ten space teleportation scrolls meant in her mind: it meant ten opportunities to escape from powerful enemies!

Conversely, it could also be said to be ten opportunities to catch up to a fleeing enemy!
