The solemn voice traveled clearly into the ears of every merman.
The high priest raised his head. His body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were sparkling.
It had been a thousand years. Lantisde had been abandoned by God for a thousand years. Finally, God had blessed Lantisde again!
The high priest prostrated himself on the ground, and respectfully said, "God, Lantisde will serve you and the person you choose forever. Please remove this cursed barrier for a thousand years for us, and get rid of the Nether Sharks that feed on the people of Lantisde!"
Gina and the merfolk warriors of Verell also prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing their utmost respect to that holy artifact.
"The person I choose will help you. He is a good man."
The solemn voice sounded again. The light on the artifact became even more dazzling, and then it disappeared without a trace in a flash of light.
"He is talking about Mr. Meg! He is really a good man. So God thinks the same way too, "Gina murmured to herself.
"Has God left?"
The merfolk raised their heads and looked at the remaining three Nether Sharks that were tightly bound. The artifact that carried God had disappeared.
The high priest slowly straightened his body, and looked up at the faintly visible light that had completely disappeared. He then retracted his gaze, and said to the merfolk in front of Verell Town, "God is still watching over us. Lantisde will be able to break free from the curse very soon."
"That's great!"
The merfolk cheered.
"Break free from the curse and leave the bottom of the sea?!" Dewell also had a surprised expression on his face. He looked up at the dark barrier. He would be able to see the outside world very soon!
Then, his gaze landed on the three Nether Sharks that were tightly bound. He hesitated for a while, but still mustered his courage and went forward. He looked at the high priest who was performing the healing spell on Mayor Katol, and respectfully asked, "High Priest, may I request to kill one of the Nether Sharks?"
The high priest looked at Dewell in surprise. "Aren't you afraid of it?"
"They killed my parents, but I am not afraid of them. I want to kill them to avenge my parents." Dewell shook his head, and gripped the spear in his hand tightly as he stared at the three Nether Sharks.
The high priest stared at Deur for a long time, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face. He nodded slightly, and said, "God has subdued those three Nether Sharks. I think he will agree to let you handle one of them."
"Thank you, High Priest!" Dewell was overjoyed.
"You should be thanking God." The high priest took back the magic ball. Katol's injuries had already healed.
"Thank you, Lord God!" Dewell said respectfully as he swam toward a medium-sized Nether Shark with his spear.
A golden-red spear gleam that was half an arm's length lit up on the spear. Dewell used all his strength to stab the spear into the vortex pattern above the Nether Shark's head.
He had long heard that this was the Nether Shark's only weakness.
"Hiss …"
The Nether Shark let out a shrill cry and struggled frantically. However, it was entangled by the silver fishing net and could not move an inch.
The struggle did not last long. When the cries stopped, the Nether Shark stopped moving completely.
Dewell pulled out his spear, and fresh blood spurted out from the Nether Shark's vortex.
"Father! Mother! I have avenged all of you! "Dewell murmured with tears streaming down his face.
The residents of the town had all come out at some point.
"Dewell!"
Carly rushed out from the crowd and hugged Dewell. Tears were streaming down her face as well.
"You must be the mayor of Verell. Pass down the order for all the merfolk in the town to march toward Ivo City," the high priest said to Katol.
"Yes," Katol replied respectfully.
The high priest glanced at Dewell and the Nether Shark that had stopped moving. A smile of admiration appeared at the corner of his mouth. "That little fellow is a good seedling. If he is willing, let him join the garrison directly after going to Ivo City. Just say that I asked him to go."
Katol's face lit up. He nodded, and said, "I think that little fellow will be very willing."
"Gina, let's go," the high priest said, and a faint golden array formation started to appear under his feet.
Gina stepped into the range of the array formation. A golden light flashed, and the two of them disappeared.
"Gina, tell me in detail about that Chosen One. The future of Lantisde is in his hands."
"Mr. Meg, he is a good person …"
…
The submarine accelerated instantly, and left the bottom of the sea. It only started to slow down when it reached a depth of about 5,000 meters, and slowly rose to the surface.
"Father, did you lie to them just now?" Amy blinked and looked at Meg with a shocked expression. It was her first time seeing her father lie.
Everyone in the submarine looked at Meg with a surprised expression. In their impression, Meg had always been an honest and steady person.
"This is not a lie. It is just to build a stable and strong friendship between both parties." Meg shook his head, and seriously said, "Am I not a good person?"
Everyone thought about it, and suddenly understood. Of course, Mr. Meg was a good person.
Thinking about it this way, he was indeed not lying.
"I knew Father would not lie." A bright smile appeared on Amy's face.
Meg heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. As a role model for Amy to learn from, this honest persona could not be broken.
Moreover, he did not do anything outrageous. He just took the opportunity to make the following negotiations easier. He would also do his best to help Lantisde.
A large school of fish swam past the submarine. Ugly Duckling, who was already used to it, lay in front of the transparent window and stretched out its claws, trying to catch those fish that were approaching. Its claws scratched the glass anxiously.
"Ugly Duckling, do you want me to let you out?" Amy asked with a smile as she went up to it.
Ugly Duckling nodded first, but quickly reacted. It turned to look at Amy with a bitter expression. Are you the devil?
Meg looked at the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the sea through the transparent submarine. He used the fishing equipment to catch a few more fish that looked delicious or pretty. He estimated that the merfolk should be coming up soon, so he steered the submarine to the surface and returned to the wooden boat.
…
"Mr. Meg is God's spokesperson, and also Lantisde's savior. We have to give him the highest respect and treatment.
In the center of the altar, the high priest looked at the merfolk standing in front of the altar with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
The merfolk replied in unison. Their expressions were not ambiguous at all.
Previously, the high priest had already shown everyone the scene of God descending and easily subduing the three Nether Sharks. Now, there was only worship in the merfolk's hearts.
The king also went up, and solemnly said to everyone, "The future of Lantisde is entrusted to all of you."
