The high priest lifted his head. His body trembled gently and tears glistened in his eyes.

A thousand years. Lantisde was forsaken by God for a thousand years. Finally, God favored Lantisde again!

The high priest prostrated on the ground, and respectfully said, “God, Lantisde will alway serve You and the man You chose. Please lift the thousand-year-old cursed barrier for us and remove those Nether Sharks that feed on the people of Lantisde.”

Gina and the warriors of Verell all began to prostrate themselves to show their utmost respect to that amazing holy vessel.

“The man I have chosen will help you. He is a good man.”

The solemn and dignified voice appeared again, and the light on that holy vessel began to shine brighter and brighter before it changed into a beam of light and disappeared.

“He is talking about Mr. Mag! He really is a good man. Even God thinks he is too,” Gina murmured softly.

“Has God left?”

The merfolk raised their heads and looked at the three Nether Sharks that were bound tightly and left behind. The holy vessel that carried God had disappeared.

The high priest stood up gradually and looked at the vague beam of light that disappeared completely before he retrieved his gaze. He said to the merfolk in front of the Verell Town, “God is still favoring us. Lantisde will be rid of the curse.”

“Yes!”

The merfolk let out a loud cheer.

Get rid of the curse and leave the bottom of the sea?! Elation appeared on Dewell’s face. He raised his head to look at that dark barrier. He would be able to see the outside world soon!

Then, his gaze landed on those three tightly bound Nether Sharks. After hesitating for a while, he gathered his courage and faced the high priest, who was healing the town’s mayor Katol with magic, and asked, “High Priest, may I kill one Nether Shark, please?”

The high priest looked at Dewell in surprise. “You are not afraid of it?”

“They killed my parents, but I am not afraid of them. I want to kill them to avenge my parents.” Dewell shook his head and grasped the spear in his hands tightly as he stared at the three Nether Sharks.

The high priest stared at Dewell for a moment before a smile appeared on his wrinkly face. He nodded and smiled. “God subdued those three Nether Sharks. I guess he would agree to let you handle one of them.”

“Thank you, High Priest!” Dewell was ecstatic.

“You should be thanking God.” The high priest kept the magic ball, and the wounds on Katol’s body were all healed.

“Thank you, Holy Spirit!” Dewell said respectfully as he swam toward a middle-sized Nether Shark with his spear.

A half-arm-long golden-red beam lit up on the spear. Dewell used all his strength and stabbed the spear into the vortex marking at the top of the Nether Shark’s head.

He had long heard that it was the Nether Shark’s only weakness.

“Ssss…”

The Nether Shark let out a shrill cry and started to struggle crazily, but it was tightly restrained by the silver fishnet.

It didn’t struggle for long before the cries stopped. The Nether Shark completely stopped moving.

Dewell withdrew his spear, and fresh blood squirted out from the Nether Shark’s vortex.

“Father! Mother! I will avenge you!” Dewell mumbled with tears rolling down his face.

The people of Verell had come out.

“Dewell!”

Kelly emerged from the crowd and hugged Dewell, tears flowing down her face too.

“You are the mayor of Verell, right? Pass down this order. All the merfolk in town will proceed to Ivo City,” the high priest instructed Katol.

“Yes,” Katol replied respectfully.

The high priest looked at Dewell and the dead Nether Shark with an appreciative smile. “That little chap has potential. If he is willing, have him join the garrison when he reaches Ivo City. Say it’s my instruction.”

Joy appeared on Katol’s face as he nodded. “I think that chap will be very willing.”

“Gina, let’s go,” the high priest said as a light golden spell formation started to appear at the bottom of his feet.

Gina stepped into the range of the spell formation, and the two of them disappeared in a burst of golden light.

“Gina, tell me in detail about the Chosen One and your experiences in the past few days. Lantisde’s future is held in his hands.”

“Mr. Mag, he is a good man…”

…

The submarine increased its speed instantly as it left the bottom of the sea. It only decreased its speed when it reached the depth of 5000 meters, and began to slowly rise to the surface.

“Father, did you tell them a lie earlier?” Amy blinked her eyes at Mag with a shocked expression. This was the first time she saw her father lie.

Everyone in the submarine was looking at Mag with a surprised expression. In their impression, Mag had alway been an honest and trustworthy person.

“That wasn’t lying. It’s to build a more stable and solid friendship for both parties.” Mag shook his head, and seriously said, “Am I not a good man?”

Everyone gave that a serious thought and felt relieved instantaneously. Of course Mr. Mag was a good man.

If they thought about it in that way, he indeed wasn’t lying.

“I knew Father wouldn’t lie.” A radiant smile appeared on Amy’s face again.

Mag felt a relief in his heart. As the living example for Amy, his honest persona couldn’t break down.

Moreover, he didn’t do anything evil. He only took advantage of the situation to make upcoming negotiation easier. He would still help Lantisde with all he could.

A big school of fish swam by the submarine. Ugly Duckling, which was already used to lying against the transparent window, began to swipe at those fishes that swam closeby. It looked rather anxious as it scratched the glass.

Amy came forward and smilingly asked, “Ugly Duckling, should I release you out there?”

Ugly Duckling nodded initially before quickly regaining its wits. It turned and peered at Amy with aggrievement. Are you the devil?

They were sightseeing the beautiful scenery of the underwater world through the transparent submarine, and Mag had caught a few fishes that looked nice or nice to eat with the capture device. He estimated the merfolk should be coming up soon, so he maneuvered the submarine back to the surface and returned to the wooden boat.

…

In the middle of the altar, the high priest solemnly said to all the merfolk standing in front of the altar, “Mr. Mag is the spokesperson of God and Lantisde’s savior too. We have to accord him our utmost respect and treatment.”

“Yes!” all the merfolk replied in unison with an equally serious expression.

The high priest had already shown them the scene where the Holy Spirit descended and subdued the three Nether Sharks effortlessly. There was only adoration in the merfolk’s hearts right now.

The king, too, stepped forward, and gravely said to everyone, “Lantisde’s future is in your hands now.”
