Sheyan merely smiled in response but maintained his silence. He didn't answer the question of this loyal and devoted elder of Melody's.
All of a sudden, a loud splash resounded from the surface of the water. Amidst the splashing of water, a massive dark blue tentacle stretched out. Instantly, two thicker black tentacles unrestrainedly coiled around it and forcefully pressed the tentacle back into the water.
Following that, an astonishing scene occurred. Paul the Leviathan displayed his incomparably terrifying strength. He actually used two tentacles to wrap around Ocean-freak Moria, who was even larger than him. Lifting her out of the water, he then flung her 20 plus metres away!
Ocean-freak Moria's tentacles frantically curled and fluttered in the air. Finally, the thick suction cups with a diameter of a meter started exerting force, firmly sticking to the stone wall by the lakeside. As the tentacles retracted and exerted force, cracks began to appear on the solid rock wall. Finally, she managed to stop herself from being flung away in an incomparably miserable manner!
At this moment, Ocean-freak Moria's two half metre wide eyes revealed a vigilant and nervous expression. She stared intently at this formidable opponent that had suddenly appeared! On the other hand, Brother Paul slapped the surface of the water with incomparable excitement. He raised his two thick tentacles and mimicked the action of a human bodybuilding champion. Firstly, he wanted to use facts to viciously slap the faces of those who spoke rudely. Secondly, he wanted to conquer the heart of the opposite sex before conquering her body.
"What a powerful magic undulation!" Annenia Cyathea suddenly exclaimed.
The treant warrior, Ferrell, strode forward and blocked the elves! His current treant form wasn't an original tree, hence, it wouldn't be a problem even if it was destroyed.
One could distinctly observe, at the tip of Ocean-freak Moria's five tentacles, five incomparably sharp icicles were congealing out of the water surface! Those icicles flickered with a sinister radiance, and one could feel the threat of death from them.
Reef couldn't help but whisper.
"Seems like the previous time we entered this world, that damned female octopus wasn't at her peak state. If not, the balrog could only flee for his life."
Sheyan heaved a sigh and replied.
"A female octopus in confinement naturally can't have the power of its peak. Eh? What is Paul doing? Is he going to take it head on? "
While the two of them were chatting, those five terrifyingly sharp icicles were already hurtling towards Paul. Unexpectedly, Paul didn't evade, but directly spat out a terrifying water pillar towards Ocean-freak Moria!
The icicle pierced Paul's body but couldn't hurt him at all. However, the icicle immediately turned into a light blue mist and condensed Paul into an ice sculpture in the air.
Instead, this ice sculpture lasted for less than two seconds, before Paul broke free from its bindings. Then, his two tentacles whipped down with earth-shattering momentum. Amidst the splashing water, he once again grabbed the powerless Ocean-freak Moria and violently tossed her away!
"Hmm, Mr. Paul seems to be able to defeat all of them with brute force. Besides, he is most likely immune to all water magic …"
"Perhaps such a crude and direct way of conquering might be able to win the heart of the opposite sex more easily?"
"It's hard to say if I can win her heart, but getting her body should be easy."
"Right, boss, there should be another male octopus – Ocean-freak Moria's husband right? If not, how did Ocean-freak Moria's eggs come about? "
"I've already investigated this issue. According to various documents, Ocean-freak Moria is the only monster in the vicinity of the Misty Mountains and Ndipaya Mines. Therefore, the only explanation is that this octopus has the same reproductive habits as a hen, and can lay eggs without a male. Of course, these eggs can't possibly hatch into the next generation. "
"… … …"
Everyone started a heated discussion. Ocean-freak Moria obviously wasn't one to concede defeat. Following that, she displayed a 'Grand Collection of Water Magic' to everyone present.
But unfortunately, almost all of the high-end water magic spells were completely ineffective. Apart from lowering the temperature by a few degrees, they didn't cause any trouble to Paul. The only water magic spell that was slightly effective was the tier 6 Summon Water Elementals. Three Water Elementals about five meters tall aggressively charged at Paul, but Paul simply waved his tentacle and they returned to dust …
When the unlucky Ocean-freak Moria was violently flung away for the nth time, it suddenly released a mournful and aggrieved wail. Then, it bluntly hugged its head with its two tentacles, before curling up on the nearby beach motionlessly. One look and one could tell it was a broken jar, ready to be killed or sliced …..
Brother Paul excitedly slapped the surface of the water with his tentacles, before excitedly dragging this big-eyed octopus lady to the bottom of the lake. Once again, the lake surface began to sway rhythmically....
Following that, although the octopuses were engaging in sexual intercourse, due to the strict crackdown, everyone could only use their imagination ….. oh, this really required a bit of imagination!
Roughly an hour later, Brother Paul swam towards them arrogantly while slapping the surface of the water. Ocean-freak Moria followed behind him like a docile little wife. Not knowing why, when Sheyan witnessed this scene, he suddenly thought of Pan Changjiang striding over with his chest puffed out. Behind him was a delicate and pitiful Fan Bingbing with tears in her eyes …..
After settling this matter, Sheyan's face glowed with radiance. It was as though a huge boulder on his back had been lifted. He walked up and swam into the water, warmly greeting Paul. He even gave Ocean-freak Moria a present – two plump bulls purchased from Rivendell. They were already cleaned, and most importantly, they were still raw.
On account of the satisfactory present and Brother Paul's face, Ocean-freak Moria's attitude towards Sheyan was evidently much better. Finally, when Sheyan swam away, he even shook the tip of Ocean-freak Moria's tentacles, as though it was a handshake.
Since they had a good start, Sheyan proceeded to call for Elder Annenia Cyathea and two other elves. The group then stealthily interacted with Ocean-freak Moria for a while. With the addition of the elves, the darlings of the natural world, the process of communication was evidently harmonious and smooth. Only, the rest of the group didn't know much about the content of the conversation.
Brother Paul would automatically return to the Pirates of the Caribbean world once the summoning array here expired. Hence, he had to make use of this time to nurture his relationship with Ocean-freak Moria. The two gigantic octopuses wriggled their tentacles and submerged back into the lake. Elder Annenia Cyathea and the other two elves strolled over, bowing slightly to Sheyan before leaving.
After settling everything, Sheyan continued contemplating by the lakeside. Suddenly, he inquired Elder Desirese Roots.
"If we want to establish a permanent summoning array, how much would it cost?"
Elder Desirese Roots was puzzled, and was slightly dissatisfied with Sheyan's mysteriousness. Still, he earnestly replied.
"That would depend on the summoning array's frequency of usage, and what creature would be summoned?"
Sheyan straightforwardly replied.
"The frequency …... should be set to one summoning every three hours. Each summoning can last for two and a half hours. The strength of the summoning will be based on the strength of your previous summoning of Mister Paul."
Elder Desirese Roots pondered a little before replying.
"If you insist on setting up a teleportation formation like this, I can provide you with a lot of materials. What I'm lacking right now is a stone giant's heart, half a pound of the evil bird witch's blood from the Black Forest, three white cow horns, and a ruby. With that, the summoning array can operate for ten years. Furthermore, you only need to replace the ruby. "
"Segimli, can I trouble you to help me record down the elder's words?" Sheyan courteously requested.
Segimli was currently wringing his dripping beard. He was stunned for a moment before replying.
"Why? Can you understand our dwarven language? "
"Because these items will be one of the conditions for my next trade with the Gimli tribe. Apart from that, I also hope to obtain high-grade magic equipment suitable for twilight elves, especially the Sunstriders. I can pay the raw materials and have a master craft them for me."
Sheyan earnestly replied.
"You will obtain these items, my friend! The Gimli clan will gladly oblige you. " An elite dwarven warrior excitedly exclaimed. Segimli was an old but vigorous fellow. His hair and beard were already white, yet the muscles on his arms were sturdy enough to rival a young man's thighs. "
Sheyan nodded in satisfaction and smiled.
"If our cooperation this time goes well, I will give the Gimli clan a pleasant surprise."
"Oh?" Segimli curiously asked. "What kind of surprise?"
Sheyan smiled without replying. He then turned to the elves and announced.
"It's time for us to set off. The twilight elves are anxiously awaiting our return."
The treant warrior, Ferrell, couldn't help but mutter.
"But Annenia Cyathea and our two companions have yet to return."
"They are safe. I was the one who allowed them to leave." Sheyan chuckled. "Don't worry. What they are doing is extremely important to us and the twilight elves."
*****
There were no more accidents on the way back.
The Half-Beastmen had obviously suffered a great loss, so they would not repeat the same mistake and send people to die in vain.
Three and a half days after leaving Rivendell, Sheyan and company once again returned to this beautiful elven city. However, before they could even take a sip of water, they received a grievous news!
