Queen Heidi held Sea Song’s hand and brought a dozen clan members with her, followed by Chamo and the ten person team. They entered the teleportation circle together.
A dazzling light lit up and they felt dizzy. Then their bodies became lighter.
Queen Heidi opened her eyes again with a bit of vigilance. Then she saw a scene completely different from the dark seabed.
This was also a body of water.
The water was clear and transparent, with small fish swimming in it. The sunlight shone through the water, creating sparkling waves. There was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Queen Heidi couldn’t help being stunned, but her clan members’ reactions were much stronger than hers.
“Oh my god, there is sunshine!”
“The water here is so clear. It seems to be fresh water.”
“Your Majesty, can we go up and take a look? I haven’t been in the sun for a long time!”
A dozen merfolk were swimming happily in the water.
In the dark underwater world, it was impossible to see clearly. Now in the waters where sunlight could penetrate, the beauty of the sea elves was presented to the players in a shocking way.
They were simply the darlings of the Creator! How could there be such beautiful creatures in the world?
[F*k, this modeling is amazing!]
[I have to kneel down to the modeler. No matter which NPC you pull out, they are so perfect that no faults can be found with them!]
[Ahhh, when will the sea elf land be opened? I want to go and play with a mermaid sister.]
As the closest witnesses, the ten person team, including Qing Yan, couldn’t help being attracted by the scene of the mermaids playing.
The lifeless feeling that had lingered around them was swept away. However, they were still pale and thin so people couldn’t help feeling pity for them.
Queen Heidi deeply suppressed the fluctuating emotions in her heart and turned to look at Chamo.
Chamo was also a bit surprised.
The teleportation circle he used wasn’t in the water when he went to the territory of the sea elves… but he soon figured it out.
This was probably because His Majesty Roland was worried they wouldn’t be able to adapt after coming to land all of a sudden from the bottom of the sea. He gave them some time to transition and catch their breath.
He looked at Queen Heidi and nodded to her. “Go up. There will be no danger.”
The players nearby heard him talking and also wanted to speak, but they instead gulped down a few sips of water and quickly closed their mouths.
Chamo glanced at them and chuckled.
He had the special blessing of the Tree of Life and was able to breathe and speak underwater for a short time.
Previously when he visited the territory of the sea elves, he had received the blessing of the Tree of Life at Heidi’s request. He didn’t expect the Tree of Life to take the initiative to help him this time.
After getting Queen Heidi’s approval, the sea elves cheered, shook their tails and swam quickly to the surface of the water.
They couldn’t remember how long it had been since they swam so freely in the water. What fascinated them most was undoubtedly the sunlight shining down on the water.
It was so bright and holy that they were completely unable to resist it!
Finally, the first mermaid rushed out of the water.
She swam so quickly and hard that she jumped high into the air. Then she fell from the sky and created a huge splash of water.
Then she quickly emerged from the water and hugged her sisters.
“Wow, it is really land!”
“I got some sunlight! Wu wu wu, I almost forgot the last time I was in the sun!”
The sea elves hugged each other and discussed it happily.
Their queen soon swam up with her son but she wasn’t overwhelmed by joy. Instead, she carefully observed the surrounding environment.
It was an inland lake.
It was surrounded by lush trees and she could see the tops of some buildings from a distance.
The space on the shore distorted. Chamo walked out of the space crack, shook off the water on his body and said to them, “I’ll go get you some clothes. Please wait a while.”
The sea elves looked at each other.
They hadn’t been to land for many years. They knew what clothes were but they hadn’t used them in a long time.
The players swam ashore slowly. Once they heard that Chamo was going to get clothes for the sea elves, they immediately volunteered and attentively bought dozens of exquisite clothing from the system mall.
There were very few male sea elves left and they were left in the tribe by Queen Heidi to guard the Tree of Life. The ones who came out with her were all female sea elves.
There might be some obscene comments in the barrage, but the quality of the players in the ten person team was very high and they weren’t moved at all. The only earth elementalist even built a place for the sea elves to change their clothes.
In fact, it was useless even if they had dirty ideas because the discordant scenes would be covered by the holy light.
The players in the ten person team, except Qing Yan, surrounded the mermaid sisters. They were very attentive and tried hard to improve their favorability.
The sea elves were quite friendly to them, because they were grateful to the players for venturing all the way to their land and rescuing them.
By the time Chamo came back, he found that all the sea elves, including Queen Heidi, had come ashore and put on the exquisite clothing provided by the braves.
Seeing them all dressed up beautifully and looking at the linen clothing he brought with him, Chamo decisively put the things into his space. Then he led them to the palace to meet His Majesty.
This was the back mountain of the Elementalist Academy. It was the lake where Xu Sili tested the underwater breathing potion.
After he moved the teleportation circle here, he returned to the palace with Si Sheng.
It wasn’t that he was putting on a deliberate show but—
Aunt Val and the others were finally back!
After an interstellar journey of two months, the Starry Sky returned with a full load and received two orders.
Both orders came from the Sigta Empire.
One was an order to purchase food and the other was a lease of five modified small civilian spaceships.
This would be the first step for the Roland Empire to successfully move toward the stars!
The moment Xu Sili received the news of their return, he rushed back to the palace to welcome them.
This time, he didn’t keep a low profile but had the Starry Sky directly send the people to the palace.
It was time for the people of Roland to understand the empire’s technological strength. Val was also interested in cultivating local scientific and technological talents and was already looking for candidates to develop education.
Roland’s current technological level was far behind other interstellar countries and it was almost impossible to catch up. However, the journey of a thousand miles began with a single step.
They couldn’t give up on education.
They weren’t required to make any contribution in science and technology, but at least, they should master the interstellar common language and understand some basic interstellar common sense.
In the past, people didn’t have the conditions to study and lived under the shadow of interstellar beasts every day, making survival a problem.
Now interstellar beasts could no longer threaten the major cities of the Roland Empire. People had basically achieved food and clothing. All industries were developing rapidly and education must also keep up.
The sea elves followed Chamo to the palace.
Since the sea elves came to submit to the empire, Chamo couldn’t directly take them into the palace. He could only take them to the palace gate first.
Chamo had tried to keep a low profile, but the appearance of more than a dozen stunning beauties in gorgeous clothes was still a bit too shocking, not to mention the players who came to join in the fun.
The scene was even bigger than that of the forest elves.
After all, the forest elves had been living in hiding among humans for many years. Their behavior had assimilated to those of humans but when faced with onlookers, they were more afraid and nervous.
The sea elves had lived in the sea for many years and were full of curiosity about the human world. Their own strength allowed them to remain calm when facing onlookers.
It was because in their opinion, none of these humans could fight! The average strength of two or three stars was far behind them.
Queen Heidi felt it too.
The human race in this empire generally wasn’t strong. They were actually weaker now that their strength had declined.
This gave her some confidence.
If her judgment was correct, if something happened then she could at least lead her people to escape unscathed. However, she didn’t know how to operate the teleportation circle…
Just as Queen Heidi was thinking about a way out for her clan, she heard exclamations from the crowd. Even the clan members around her became restless.
“Your Majesty, look at what is in the sky!”
Beside her, Cessia held her hand, pointed to the sky in the distance and spoke with a bit of fear.
Queen Heidi looked in the direction of her finger and saw a huge monster appear in the distant sky. It was much larger than the largest sea monster she had ever seen. It slowly flew toward her from the sky.
What was this…
A flying sea beast?
She subconsciously opened a protective shield to protect her clan members and Chamo.
Chamo couldn’t help smiling when he saw this. “Don’t be afraid. This is a human spaceship.”
Spaceship?
Queen Heidi was immersed in her memories. It seemed that more than a hundred years ago, she heard that humans brought back many magical things from outer space, one of which was spaceships.
It was then that she realized there was another world outside of Escher Star…
“Chamo, what do you think of the strength of the Roland Empire?” Queen Heidi took a deep breath and asked.
Chamo, who knew her well, changed his expression slightly and whispered, “Unfathomable!”
“Since you have agreed to surrender, it is best not to do anything that would anger His Majesty Roland.”
“Due to Sea Song, Roland is very friendly to the sea elves. Please cherish this friendship.”
Queen Heidi was a bit surprised by his comment. She looked down at the child that followed closely behind her and nodded slightly. “I understand.”
Finally, the palace gate guards let them pass.
Queen Heidi looked back at the huge aircraft for the first time. Then she silently withdrew her gaze, turned around and led her clan members into the Roland Palace.
