Chapter 531

The Giant Kelp Sprite, which gurgled, became the fourth sprite under Liszt's command. Its arrival represented the vast Giant Kelp Magic Potion behind it.

"Three Giant Kelp sprites and one Giant Kelp Sprite can cultivate at least 1,100 acres of Magic Giant Kelp," Liszt thought happily, looking at the Giant Kelp Sprite hanging on his arm, swaying with the waves.

The Giant Kelp Sprite's temper was clearly not so gentle.

It did not treat Acheronides with the same goodwill as it did Nami. When Acheronides tried to touch it, it twisted away and turned its head, baring its teeth at her: "Gurgling!"

It was warning Acheronides not to touch it.

"Little one, this is the mermaid, understand? When I'm not in the sea, you'll follow her, got it?"

"Gurgling!"

"Stop gurgling, she also has the jade powder you like to eat," Liszt gave Acheronides a look, signaling her to take out some jade powder.

Sure enough.

Food wins loyalty.

When Acheronides took out the jade powder, the Giant Kelp Sprite didn't hesitate for more than three seconds before rushing over to eat the jade powder Acheronides fed it. By then, when Acheronides reached out to touch it again, it no longer reacted, just like when Liszt had lured it before.

It simply couldn't resist the temptation of jade powder.

"Fortunately, once a spirit contract is made, unless actively dissolved, no one else can contract it again. Otherwise, it wouldn't take three days before someone else could lure it away," Liszt no longer paid attention to the Giant Kelp Sprite, which was eating jade powder and exuding a satisfied vibe, but instead focused his attention.

Activating the smoke mission.

"Complete the mission and receive a Giant Kelp Sprite as a reward."

Then a new mission arrived: "Mission: The Giant Kelp Forest is still not fully explored. In fact, you have only uncovered a corner of the forest and have not explored its core secrets. Acheronides is a good helper, why not let her help you dive deeper to find more secrets. Reward: One low-level dragon-type sea monster."

"Huh?"

"What's going on here?"

"Low-level dragon-type sea monster?"

"What's going on here? It feels like ever since I got the smoke mission and the fate power from the Smoke Dragon, I seem to have been tied to dragons and dragon-related creatures?"

Liszt has encountered flying dragons, including the Light Dragon of the Maple Duchy, with Parris being the black dragon spirit of the Light Dragon; the Sapphire Dragon, the guardian dragon of his country, which he saw once on Iron Hoof Island; the Smoke Dragon, which he hasn't met, but the smoke mission is always present.

The Invisible Dragon has been seen twice, delivering four space gems, an old friend of his.

Lastly, there's the Fire Dragon that died on Black Horse Island, and the Fire Drake Leo, born from the remains of the Fire Dragon, who keeps yelling "oh ho," "oh ho," craving potions.

Sub-dragons, only encountered one, the situation is slightly unclear. Marquis Merlin gave him a phoenix feather, which was swallowed by the Fire Drake before it could even warm up. Later, Liszt wrote to Marquis Merlin to inquire about the phoenix feather, only to learn that this phoenix feather was the only one captured in the Longtaro family's expansion order.

Dragon beasts, Loki is a dragon beast.

Dragon-type beasts, including the Half-slope Ox, Estuary Pig, and Black Blood horse.

Now, there's going to be another low-level dragon-type sea monster. Sea monsters are a type of magical beast, so this counts as a dragon beast.

"A dragon beast in the sea, I wonder what species it is, a fish or a whale, or a crab, lobster, shell, starfish?" Regardless, the exploration of the Giant Kelp Forest is still incomplete, and even the range of the Magic Giant Kelp has not been clearly determined.

In this underwater forest, there are still sprites.

And even more shocking secrets!

But there was no time left to search further today; the sun had already set on the sea unnoticed. Liszt prepared to take the Giant Kelp Sprite back, but the Giant Kelp Sprite was unwilling to leave the sea. If it were just a spirit bug, it could be taken away without a second thought.

But it was a spirit bug with independent thoughts, and could no longer be treated as just a farming tool.

"Then you can stay with Acheronides for the night," Liszt said, not forcing the Giant Kelp Sprite to leave the sea. However, he had already planned that when building a new castle in the future, he would definitely construct a sea bug room in the canal connecting the castle to the sea, providing shelter for the spirit bugs in the sea.

Before they parted ways.

Acheronides, who was holding the Giant Kelp Sprite, suddenly asked, "Brother, what will you name this Giant Kelp Sprite?"

"A name..."

Liszt thought for a moment and then decided, "Let's call it Fizz. The name means 'Tide Spirit,' because it's a sea spirit born with the tides."

"Fizz," Acheronides made no comment on the name.

She was more interested in something else Liszt had said: "Brother, if Fizz and the others are spirits of the sea, then what am I? You said I was the spirit of the sea." When she asked this, Acheronides felt a little lost.

Perhaps the title of the sea's spirit was originally hers alone.

Liszt smiled and gently stroked Acheronides' azure hair. "Acheronides, you're a mermaid, and mermaids are the spirits of the sea. Fizz and the others are farming spirits; they just live in the sea and aren't directly connected to it."

"Mm, hehe."

...

After saying goodbye to Liszt.

Acheronides took Fizz and continued swimming through the Giant Kelp Forest. As a mermaid, the sea was her domain. She planned to keep searching, hoping to find more spirit bugs and lighten Liszt's workload.

Just then.

A large, colorful fish swam past the Giant Kelp Forest, and Acheronides' eyes lit up. "It's that big dolphin!" She had first found the Giant Kelp Forest while chasing this dolphin-like sea monster, but it had gotten away, and she hadn't been able to catch it.

Now she decided to follow it again, determined to catch the sea monster this time.

Using the Giant Kelp for cover, Acheronides' large white shell trailed the sea monster silently from a distance. The sea monster, relaxed and unaware of her presence, swam leisurely, occasionally chasing nearby fish. It treated the Giant Kelp Forest like a playground, completely carefree.

It had no idea danger was closing in.

However.

Just as Acheronides was about to strike and kill the sea monster, she suddenly paused, hiding behind some Giant Kelp, and quietly watched. From her vantage point, the dolphin-like sea monster seemed to be trying to attack a Giant Kelp.

But before it could get close, a faint yellow magic aura flashed over its body, and tiny Giant Kelp sprouted on its skin, tangling it up.

The sea monster had to rush to a nearby rock to scrape the Giant Kelp off. Then, reluctantly, it circled around, trying to attack again, but the yellow magic aura kept stopping it. Finally, covered in Giant Kelp, it swam deeper into the Giant Kelp Forest, defeated.

"It's a Giant Kelp Sprite, a Giant Kelp Sprite!" Acheronides was very surprised. She had just contracted a Giant Kelp Sprite with Liszt an hour ago.

She didn't expect to encounter another one.

The clever Acheronides immediately thought of what Liszt had said, that the area of the Magic Giant Kelp was vast and not fully explored. So finding another Giant Kelp Sprite wasn't strange. She firmly remembered the location of this Giant Kelp Sprite's bug grass, and then chased after the colorful sea monster.

Unfortunately.

The figure of the sea monster had already disappeared.
