Chapter 902: Chapter 917, Chaos
Translator: 549690339
After the short-tentacle wand was saved by the snake, he had been recuperating in a manor in Port Wright.
The most serious injury on his body was the damage to some of his internal organs in his abdomen. This meant that he had to lie in bed for almost a month before he could barely recover.
What gave the short-tentacle wand the most headache was his weak body. He could not withstand the teleportation of space magic, so he had to rest in this city for an entire month.
Fortunately, Hymina seemed to be a lady in the city. The short-tentacle wand was very honored to stay in a noble manor.
“Is this the life of a noble?”
The short-tentacle wand sat on a big bed that could accommodate at least four people. He looked out of the window at the blue sky. Beside the bed were all kinds of desserts that could be reached with one’s hand.
Although the snake’s healer told the short-tentacle wand not to eat too many sweet things, he still did not let go of the desserts. He directly sat on the side of the bed and stuffed everything that could be eaten into his mouth.
If it were Nolan, he would not have been able to afford these desserts. Now, he could eat a little for free. Anyway, these nobles did not feel sorry for him.
When he was halfway through eating the short-tentacle wand, he noticed that black smoke was rising from the blue sky outside the window.
Black smoke? What’s burning?
The short-tentacle wand swallowed the cake in its mouth, then clutched its stomach and reluctantly walked to the side of the window. Then… he saw a terrifying scene.
“Get out of our land, you alien!”
The shouts pierced into the ears of the short-tentacle wand. The short-tentacle wand leaned against the windowsill and found that the garden below had been set ablaze.
A group of people raised a strange flag and rushed into the manor.
This… This Is… a riot?
The short-tentacle wand watched the guards and civilians fighting in the manor below. It was already in a state of shock.
Although there were many guards in the manor, there were thousands of civilians participating in the riot below. With this number, they entered the manor in a crushing manner, they began to burn the manor’s buildings with flame magic and adjusted alchemy flasks.
This is not good..
He glanced at the snacks in his hand and quickly put him back on the table by the bedside.
The short-tentacle wand felt that he was also a member of the civilian class. Perhaps he should join the lineup to burn the manor?
Just as the short-tentacle wand was indulging in his wild thoughts, the door to his room was suddenly pushed open.
“I was actually caught…”just as the short-tentacle wand was about to turn around and join the civilian revolution, he realized that the person who pushed the door open was hymina.
“Can You Walk Now?”Hymina asked.
“I should be fine.”
The short-tentacle wand rubbed the wound on his abdomen. He could no longer feel any pain, but his body was slightly weak.
But the snake pharmacist had told him not to do any strenuous activities, or he would only die.
Walking should not be considered strenuous activities.
“Then let’s get out of here.”Hymina waved at the short-tentacle wand. The short-tentacle wand did not think too much and followed Hymina to the corridor.
An old butler of the manor was pushing Hymina’s wheelchair. When the old Butler saw the short-tentacle wand, he wanted to say something, but the situation was too urgent, so he did not have time to say anything.
The short-tentacle wand followed Hymina all the way to the kitchen behind the manor.
Along the way, the short-tentacle wand heard all kinds of shouts from the crowd. These sounds were mixed with the sound of objects being smashed, and the situation sounded very chaotic.
There was a secret door behind the kitchen. After the short-tentacle wand entered the secret door, it was found that this was the passage leading to the underground.
The short-tentacle wand walked along the passage for a distance before the chaotic sounds behind him gradually faded away.
“What… What Happened?”
The short-tentacle wand was injured. Halfway through the underground passage, the wound on his abdomen began to hurt again.
This forced him to slow down, and in the end, he could only sit on the wet ground.
“Koba, stop,”Hymina said to the old Butler who was pushing her wheelchair behind her.
The Old Butler pushed Hymina’s wheelchair to the front of the short-tentacle wand again.
“The wound on your body has opened?”Hymina asked with concern.
“I don’t know… but what happened to those people?”
The short-tentacle wand sat on the ground and waited for a while before it managed to catch its breath.
“Actually, this is because…”
“Young lady, I think it’s inappropriate to tell him the truth,”the old Butler finally opened his mouth to remind Hymina.
“It’s okay, Kebo. He saved my life. He’s a trustworthy friend,”hymina said to the short-tentacle wand after reconsidering her words. “Actually, I can’t be considered a human.”
“What do you mean you can’t be considered a human?”
The short-tentacle wand looked hymina up and down. No matter how one looked at her, she looked like a normal human. However, Hymina pulled open her sleeve, at this moment, the short-tentacle wand finally saw the tiny scales wrapped around her arm.
“I’m a descendant of the sea race, a race that lives in the sea,”Hymina said.
“Human… Mermaid?”
No matter what, the short-tentacle wand was still an apprentice who had entered the sage Mage Tower. He still knew some of the legends about non-human races in the world. Of course, the legends about mermaids were the most prevalent by the sea.
“Many people would think so, but in fact, our legs can’t turn into fish tails.”Hymina showed a helpless smile. “Our older ancestors could do it, but now we only have the ability to communicate with sea creatures and grow scales in some parts of our bodies. We can also breathe underwater.”
“Other than these, you’re no different from humans?”
The short-tentacle wand thought that it had met the legendary merman, but it seemed that the legends were completely different from reality.
“The sea is heartless to humans, but to us, it’s home.”The Old Butler seemed to be dissatisfied with the short-tentacle WAND’s words.
“But I still don’t understand why those people burned down the manor. What do they want to Do?”
The short-tentacle wand ignored the old Butler’s words. He just wanted to figure out why he was sitting on the damp underground passage from the soft bed.
“We are the ancestors of the country near the sea.”Hymina told the short-tentacle wand about the history of the country near the sea. “Our ancestors came to this land from beimonte and established the original country near the sea on the land. At the same time, they accepted humans from all over the world. This country gradually became prosperous with the passage of time.”
“But those humans don’t know how to repay a debt of gratitude.”The old Butler seemed to be holding back his anger. “Instead, they treat this place as their own land and treat us as aliens.”
“I don’t know much about the history of the past, but Miss Hymina, wouldn’t it be bad if you were caught by those people?”
The short-tentacle wand realized that this was not just a riot between the commoners and the nobles, but also a purge of the seafolk by the humans.
“So where are we going next?”
“We could have returned to our hometown, beimonte, but now Beimonte is occupied by a group of Evil Elves.”As Hymina said this, a loud noise came from the end of the underground passage.
The group of commoners who had invaded the manor had already arrived near the kitchen.
“We can’t stay here any longer. Please stand up and leave,”Hymina said.
