Chapter 475: Ocean Messenger: Anna
Deep Sea Mermaid: An extraordinary creature living in the Second-level Wizard Gathering Place, Atlantis. She is a natural water-element spellcaster and a favored child of the ocean. From birth, she possesses the ability to command the ocean, and as she grows older, her strength will break through to the level of a Formal Wizard.
Like the widely known elves, Deep Sea Mermaids are also long-lived species. Their lifespan, calculated from birth, is approximately eight hundred years.
Moreover, for the Deep Sea Mermaid race, the first three hundred years can almost be considered their 'infancy,' and their strength is only comparable to a Third-level Wizard Apprentice.
Only after Deep Sea Mermaids officially mature, as their understanding of Ocean Law deepens, will their strength gradually climb to the level of a Formal Wizard, becoming extremely powerful.
Not only that, Deep Sea Mermaids are a species born with the Extraordinary Charm attribute and are also a race favored by the Law of Beauty.
Just like the Deep Sea Mermaid in front of Jia Na, although her appearance was slightly inferior to hers, with the addition of her captivating, art-like fish tail, the overall temperament of the Deep Sea Mermaid gained an indescribable sense of splendor and mystery—
As one of the top-tier extraordinary creatures in the Primary Material World, the moment Jia Na saw the Deep Sea Mermaid, detailed information about her race immediately appeared in her mind.
At the same time, the familiar voice and recognizable appearance of the other party also stirred Jia Na's memories.
“Isn’t she the Deep Sea Mermaid who claimed to be the Ocean Messenger?”
With a slight movement of her eyes, looking at the Deep Sea Mermaid's enigmatic smile, for a moment, Jia Na actually felt a bit awkward.
After all, she was the one who had 'seen through' the other party completely, inside and out, in order to simulate the Deep Sea Mermaid's transformation. “So it was you, Ocean Messenger.”
Regarding the other party's immediate claim of 'looking for her,' Jia Na was surprised, but she didn't find it particularly unreasonable.
Objectively speaking, had it not been for Jia Na's Purification treatment, given the severity of the Deep Sea Mermaid's contamination at the time, she wouldn't have lasted much longer.
Moreover, Jia Na also discovered that although the Deep Sea Mermaid's soul was in a self-sealed state at the time, her consciousness had been awake at some point.
Even if it was just one sentence, Jia Na still remembered very clearly that the other party had called herself the “Ocean Messenger.”
“I am Jia Na-Roland, a Wizard Apprentice from the Dordogne-White Tower. It's a pleasure to see you again.” “You are so beautiful.”
Just as Jia Na was about to give a brief self-introduction, a sudden compliment from the other party directly interrupted her words.
“Thank you for your compliment, you are also very beautiful.”
Jia Na, who could feel the goodwill in the Deep Sea Mermaid's heart, also returned a sincere compliment.
At the same time, the exceptionally powerful aura emanating from the other party also made Jia Na not dare to show any slack in her attitude—
From her appearance, the Deep Sea Mermaid summoned by Jia Na was still in her juvenile state, and her strength should theoretically be at the Wizard Apprentice level.
However, the powerful water element magic fluctuations around the Deep Sea Mermaid, as well as the rule that Prayer Summoning only summons beings with a higher Life level than the ritual initiator, all proved that the other party's strength must at least be at the Formal Wizard level.
“My name is Anna-Russell, from the deep sea area of Atlantis. You can just call me Anna from now on.”
Anna-Russell?
Upon hearing this surname for the first time, Jia Na immediately thought of the Lord of the Ocean, Temiselu-Russell, who currently controls the Law of Calamity and Ocean Law in Atlantis and possesses the S-grade talent, Will of the Storm.
“What exactly is the identity of this Ocean Messenger?”
Although Jia Na was secretly speculating in her heart, her expression did not reveal anything.
“Since I awakened, I have actually been looking for you. It's just that the Wizard Apprentice who sent me back to Atlantis was too secretive in his actions and didn't leave me any clues—”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na realized that the Wizard Apprentice Anna-Russell was referring to was actually Richard-Eva.
When Richard-Eva was responsible for sending Anna-Russell, whose soul was in a sealed state, back to Atlantis, he had told Jia Na that:
His operation was completely confidential, and no third person would know about it except for him and Jia Na.
Jia Na also knew that Richard-Eva's purpose in doing this was to hide it from the Eva Family and avoid the consequence of 'resource submission.'
But what she didn't expect was that Richard-Eva's actions were far more secretive than Jia Na had imagined, not only hiding it from the Eva Family but also from the mermaids of Atlantis.
“Then how did he get the blood essence rewarded by Atlantis at that time? Did someone else claim it on his behalf?”
Jia Na, who had this question in her mind, quickly suppressed the thought and stopped thinking about it.
“Fortunately, today I heard your summons from the deep sea. Out of curiosity, I came through the Gate of the Spirit Realm—But I didn't expect it to be you.”
Listening to the mermaid Anna's seemingly genuine surprise, Jia Na also found it incredibly unbelievable.
She never imagined that the first Prayer Summoning to respond to her would not be the several Formal Wizards she currently knew, nor the high-dimensional beings from other Planes in the Spirit Realm, but a Deep Sea Mermaid with whom she had only met once, and who had never even seen her true face.
“I am also deeply honored by your response—Ah, what are you doing?”
Just as Jia Na was still exchanging pleasantries with the other party, the mermaid Anna, who was originally floating in the air, suddenly flew to Jia Na's side and grabbed her hand.
“The smell of this sea area of yours is too unpleasant. I'll take you to Atlantis to see; the ocean there is much more magnificent than yours?…”
Seeing the mermaid Anna's stance of wanting to take her away without a word, even Jia Na, who possessed the Muscle Control talent, couldn't quite maintain her expression at this moment.
“?”
Just as the mermaid Anna was about to cast a teleportation spell to take Jia Na back to Atlantis, she suddenly discovered that the person in front of her was not in a physical state.
“I am currently in a spiritual state, so you cannot take me.”
Seeing the mermaid Anna finally let go, Jia Na's expression returned to its original composure.—
