“Deep Sea World?” Chen Shen frowned and then immediately realized.
“Are you talking about the Deep Sea, where the disaster magnitude has been reduced? We’re not near the Deep Sea! We’re currently in the New World!
“You’ve come to the wrong place if you are from the Deep Sea!”
“The magnitude of the disaster? New World?”
The murloc priest was puzzled upon hearing Chen Shen’s explanation.
However, she was not slow to respond to him.
She jumped off her chair and dug around. Eventually, she unfolded a quaint map on the wooden desk.
“Have a look and show me where the New World is located.”
Chen Shen leaned over and glanced at the map but was stunned.
“Uhm,, you might have the wrong map. This map has…six continents on it.
“As far as I know, the wasteland only seems to have the Deep Sea and New World. Is the map one before the oceans had formed on the wasteland?”
“That’s impossible! My map can’t be wrong! It was revised seven years ago, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes!”
The murloc priest subconsciously denied the possibility and shook her head repeatedly.
She immediately pointed to a symbol on the upper right corner of the map and motioned Chen Shen to look at it so that she could prove herself.
“Let me see…”
Their poor communication made Chen Shen realize that they were most likely not referring to the same things anymore.
He leaned in to look at the map, proving the thoughts in his mind.
At the position that murloc priest had pointed out, remarks were written on it.
Deep Sea Calender, Year 9 of the Yuan Calendar, xx.xx.xx… Revised on… and so on.
It was clear now to Chen Shen that the Murloc Territory most likely had transmigrated from another dimension just like the other foreign races. However, they were unaware that they were no longer in their original world.
“I can guarantee that this is not the Deep Sea World you’re looking for right now. You guys, most likely… Let me put it this way.
“There are countless foreign races in the New World. You may have been transmigrated to this place by some god behind all of this.
“This is another world that we call the wasteland. There are periodical disasters that happen. For example, the most recent one was a heavy snowfall, and it’s only been four days since it ended…”
“…”
“In short, this is not the same Deep Sea World!”
After a series of explanations, Chen Shen even introduced the wasteland continents to prove what he had shared.
Sitting opposite him, the murloc priest had already zoned out, and her eyes stared blankly in front of her.
“You…are you okay?”
“If you cannot return to where you came from, I can call the shots and allow you to stay in our territory for now. Our shelter leader might be able to send you back when he returns.”
Chen Shen reached out and shook his head worriedly in front of the murloc priest.
He was not worried whether the murloc priest could not accept the reality or if he did not believe his words.
These murlocs were extremely ill-fated compared to the other foreign races. They were unknowingly transmigrated by some god and were utterly puzzled.
Chen Shen could understand their feelings after thinking about the problem from their point of view.
However, Chen Shen did not say anything further about themselves to not give them too much information about their territory. In the end, all he could do was try to comfort and appeal to her.
Unfortunately, the murloc priest sat on the wooden chair, unable to hear anything he said despite his attempt to comfort her.
Her eyes were blank, as if she had traveled through time and space, completely unable to return to reality.
She clenched her firsts and trembled as if using every ounce of strength she had in her.
Slowly, a pale blue teardrop formed at the corner of her eyes and rolled down her wrinkled face.
The murloc priest seemed to have recollected herself and quickly wiped away the tear.
“Yu Du! Bring out guests outside first. I need some time alone!”
The door immediately opened when her voice called out, and the assistant leader Yu Du walked inside.
He bowed, then turned to Chen Shen.
“Guest, please follow me.”
Chen Shen, who had a lot to say, could only get up and follow after Yu Du after receiving such an unexpected seeing off.
Buzz!
The door closed and began to make weird noises.
Chen Shen suddenly remembered that he wanted to say something and turned around right before the door closed.
Before he could utter a word, through the crack of the door, he was stunned to see the murloc priest jumping off her chair very energetically, dashing into her room.
The murloc priest moved nimbly, and there were no traces of the weakness of an elderly person!
At the same time, a faint voice rang in Chen Shen’s ears as the door closed.
“Lord of the Deep Sea, we shall return to you!”
‘What kind of strange prayer was that?’
…
