93: Unfortunate news, the dragon
Arthur couldn't quite understand the mysterious creature that was women, so he could only temporarily set the two aside and shifted his gaze to Poussin, the castle's butler.
Arthur's trip to the seaside today was purely to catch seafood, satisfy his cravings, and enjoy the scenery.
So he directly handed the space ring containing a ton of seafood to Poussin:
"This is the seafood I caught in the sea. Take it and make a grand meal later."
Then he glanced at Dolia and added:
"Prepare some regular food as well."
Dolia was a Merfolk after all, and probably ate too much seafood, so Arthur planned to prepare some human food for her to try something new.
"Yes, Lord Arthur!"
For a small matter like preparing food, Poussin quickly gave an affirmative response.
Soon, it was dinner time.
Arthur looked at the nearly one-meter-long lobster in front of him and nodded with satisfaction!
Animals in the magical world are truly enormous!
He then took a bite, and the taste was absolutely superb; it was truly worth the trip!
On the other side, Dolia scoffed at the lobster Arthur enjoyed.
Her eyes, however, gleamed as she looked at the unique beef and cakes of the human world, then began to feast heartily.
All in all, everyone was very satisfied with this meal!
Later that night, Arthur and Karona were alone in the bedroom. Taking this opportunity, Arthur also told Karona Dolia's true identity.
Upon hearing this, Karona's beautiful eyes, like purple gems, immediately widened.
If what Arthur said was true, then she had been calling Princess Dolia 'little sister' all afternoon!
For Karona, who used to be a maid, this was quite a thrill!
After the shock, Karona looked at Arthur with an inquiring gaze:
"Arthur, since Dolia is a princess, how should I interact with her from now on?"
Arthur reassured her:
"Her identity is hidden, so just interact with her as you did today!
Besides, I saved her today. She's someone who knows how to repay kindness and won't mind these things!"
After Arthur's reassurance, Karona immediately relaxed!
...Two more days passed, but the person sent to pick up Dolia still hadn't arrived.
Arthur didn't know the exact situation, so he could only comfort Dolia, saying that they were probably delayed on the way for some reason.
Dolia initially thought the same, but by the third day, there was still no sign of the person sent to meet her.
Even when Dolia tried to contact the person through a sound-transmitting conch, there was no response.
Because of this, Dolia gradually became uneasy. Just as she was about to ask her mother about the situation,
the sound-transmitting conch in her hand vibrated first.
Dolia's sound-transmitting conch was not a one-to-one device like human magic communicators.
A sound-transmitting conch had one mother conch and several child conches, and they could all communicate with each other.
It was better than human magic communicators.
However, human magic communicators could be mass-produced, so overall, magic communicators held greater significance.
When the sound-transmitting conch vibrated, Dolia immediately thought it was the person sent to pick her up calling to confirm her location.
But upon answering, it was her mother, the Merfolk Queen's voice!
Although the Queen's voice was pleasant, it wasn't the voice Dolia most wanted to hear at that moment.
And what the Queen said next made Dolia fall into a daze:
"Dolia, I underestimated the Naga Clan. The reason they suddenly showed expansionist ambitions is because their clan welcomed an adult Legendary Dragon two months ago.
That Dragon is a Water Attribute Giant Dragon. It likes the ocean and directly made the Naga Clan its dependents."
Dragons on the Continent of Gods, regardless of whether they are chromatic or metallic dragons, are all attribute dragons, distinguished directly by various attributes, such as Water Attribute Giant Dragon or Fire Attribute Dragon.
Their personality, whether good or evil, is entirely up to the individual.
The inherent power and love for treasure of Dragons mean that the vast majority of them are 'evil dragons' as defined by humans.
However, due to the extreme power of Dragons, and how they are among the most powerful of the Legendary after Breakthrough, even if most are evil dragons, very few can successfully crusade against them.
For example, the two Legendary individuals of the Kate Kingdom and the Orc Royal Court combined usually cannot defeat a Legendary Dragon!
And now, a Legendary Dragon has appeared next to the Kate Kingdom. This is not only a disaster for the Merfolk Clan but also for the Kate Kingdom!
Arthur was right beside Dolia at this moment and slightly frowned upon hearing this news.
Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise, if they heard that a Dragon had appeared next to the Kate Kingdom, they would surely be terrified!
Compared to the relatively calm Arthur, Dolia's cute little face immediately turned sorrowful upon hearing that there was a Water Attribute Giant Dragon among the Naga Clan.
She asked worriedly:
"Mother, what will you do then? The Naga Clan already has one Legendary, and with the Dragon, just you and Old Ancestor, two Legendary individuals, won't be able to deal with them!"
The Merfolk Clan lives in deeper parts of the sea, so their strength is also stronger, possessing two Legendary individuals.
This was also why the Merfolk Queen was not at all afraid of the Naga Clan before, but now the situation has changed!
The Merfolk Queen quickly responded to Dolia's concern:
"Our Merfolk Clan has a way to deal with the Naga Clan's Legendary and the Dragon.
We have already sought help from the Giant Whale Clan, with whom we have been allies for generations. Out of consideration for our past friendship, they sent a Legendary to assist, and now the situation is temporarily stabilized!"
Giant Whales are Demonic Beasts even larger than Dragons, easily reaching a hundred meters after adulthood, and their combat power is equally extraordinary.
Even if they are not as good as Dragons, they are still much stronger than ordinary people.
So with their help, plus the Merfolk Clan's two Legendary individuals, they can barely withstand the Naga Clan's offensive.
"That's good!"
Upon hearing this, Dolia immediately patted her small chest in relief.
Arthur, hearing the Merfolk Queen's words, felt as if Legendary individuals were worthless, popping up in groups.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to marvel at the strength of the Sea Race or lament the weakness of the Kate Kingdom!
After explaining the situation, the Merfolk Queen's tone suddenly sank:
"My main purpose for this call is to inform you of some unfortunate news.
Ellie, who was sent to pick you up, has sacrificed herself. I just received the news that she was discovered by the Naga when she was secretly passing through their waters.
The Naga ambushed Ellie, and she couldn't escape!"
Upon hearing this, Dolia's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
