Dong, dong, dong.
"Woo, woo, woo."
Not long after Meg and the rest arrived on the wooden ship, and before they could start the second round of the feast, a series of orderly drumming and conch sounds could be heard. The seawater in front of the wooden ship parted, and the high priest in black mage robes stood in the middle with Gina. 300 merpeople powerhouses slowly rose from the water.
"They're here!" Meg's eyes lit up. He bought the simultaneous translation system for the Lantisde language with the System for 250 copper coins. From now on, he could communicate with the merpeople without any obstacles.
However, what the hell was this extravagance?
Meg looked at the merpeople who were lined up neatly and holding all kinds of strange-looking musical instruments in their hands. Did Gina give all the mud casings to the merpeople's honor guard?
"Wow, it's so majestic!" Amy opened her eyes wide as she looked at the merpeople who were playing attentively.
Everyone on the wooden ship was shocked when they saw this scene.
"What a powerful lineup!" Elizabeth's cold eyes revealed a hint of surprise. This was not an ordinary honor guard. Other than the high priest, there were 10 10th-tier magic casters in the team, and the rest were mostly 8th-tier and 9th-tier powerhouses.
Such strength had even surpassed the goblins and dwarves.
Meg actually also sensed the strength of these merpeople. Other than being shocked, he also had some new ideas in his mind.
A force that had not shown itself for thousands of years, a powerful race that no one knew about. If he could make use of them … they might become a super powerful trump card for him.
"Mr. Meg." Gina smiled at Meg, and then whispered to the high priest beside her, "High Priest, that is Mr. Meg. That cute little girl is his daughter, Amy. The other beautiful ladies are the waitresses in the restaurant."
"The Chosen One." The high priest looked at Meg first. He had seen this human in the Revelation half a month ago. Now that he saw him in person, he seemed to be just an ordinary human. He did not sense any magical aura from him, but he had a very unique temperament that made him impossible to ignore.
Then, his gaze fell on Amy, and his pupils shrank as a look of amazement appeared in his eyes.
A four-year-old sixth-tier half-elf magus!
There was actually such a genius in this world.
Then, his gaze swept across the people on the ship. An eighth-tier frost dragon, a seventh-tier spatial magician …
Just as Gina had said, the strength of the waiters in this restaurant was enough to make people take notice of them.
This made him think even more highly of Mag. He was indeed the chosen one of God's chosen ones.
The high priest bowed slightly, and gratefully said to Meg, "Greetings, Mr. Meg. I am the high priest of Lantisde, Dexter. Thank you for saving Gina and coming all the way here to give us the miracle medicine."
Gina glanced at Meg and said softly, "High Priest, Mr. Meg doesn't understand our language. Do you need me to …"
"You don't have to be so polite, High Priest. Perhaps this is all fate. Miss Gina has also helped my restaurant a lot," Meg said in fluent Lantisdean language with a smile.
Looking at Gina, whose mouth was slightly agape with a look of disbelief, Meg explained, "I can understand Lantisdean language now."
"This must be an ability bestowed by God." The high priest's eyes lit up. Lantisde had been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years. They didn't know the language of the outside world, and the people of the outside world naturally didn't know Lantisdean language, either.
This made him even more certain that Meg, who was God's spokesperson, had received an unbelievable ability from God. His expression became even more respectful.
Gina obviously thought so too. She looked at Meg with stars in her eyes. He was indeed Mr. Meg. He was indeed very impressive.
Meg looked at the high priest's expression, and had a general idea of how to proceed with the negotiation. The bluff that he took advantage of earlier had received a very good response.
"Eh, Father can speak the mermaid language too?" Amy looked at Meg curiously. Everyone on the ship was also surprised. It was already surprising enough that Meg's little invention could convert the merfolk's language into the continent's common language. Now, he could even speak the merfolk's language. Could this be a new invention of his?
"High Priest, let them stop the music first." Meg looked at the high priest with a smile. Although the merfolk's music was sonorous and very refreshing, such sonorous music didn't seem very suitable for a negotiation.
"Stop." The high priest raised his hand, and the music stopped immediately.
The merfolk put down the drum and conch in their hands, and looked at Meg with gratitude.
After all, they were one of the few powerhouses among the merfolk. Their abilities were all above the 8th-tier. It was a little embarrassing for them to play the drums and gongs here.
After the music stopped, Meg looked at the high priest, and went straight to the point. "Regarding Lantisde's predicament, Gina had already told me before I came, and I also received some special revelations from that person. I can help Lantisde solve the problem of the cursed barrier and the Nether Sharks. However, in return, I also need some help and some promises from Lantisde."
The high priest's eyes lit up. It must be a revelation from God. He was full of confidence that Meg could solve Lantisde's survival predicament. As long as Lantisde could survive, any condition could be negotiated.
"Mr. Meg, what do you need Lantisde to do? What kind of promises do you need us to make? Please tell us. We will try our best to cooperate," the high priest said.
"First condition: Lantisde has to promise not to invade the continent and participate in the fight for territory within 100 years.
"Second condition: After Lantisde escapes, you have to help me do three things unconditionally. The details are still undecided, but I can guarantee that Lantisde will not pay an unacceptable price.
"Third condition: I need Lantisde's help to build a deep-sea Nether Shark fishery and provide a fixed amount of Nether Shark's lips and fins for my restaurant. I will discuss the construction and daily operation of the fishery with you in detail later."
Meg looked at the high priest, and smilingly said, "My conditions are as stated above. I hope the high priest can consider it carefully."
The high priest was deep in thought after hearing that. The other merfolk powerhouses were also deep in thought.
Meg stood at the side with a calm expression, waiting for their decision.
The high priest communicated with the few of them briefly through voice transmission. After a moment of silence, he looked at Meg, and solemnly said, "If Mr. Meg can guarantee that Lantisde will never be harassed by the Nether Sharks, and that every citizen can pass through the cursed barrier freely, I can promise the three conditions you mentioned on behalf of Lantisde."
