Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2838

Chapter 2838 Welcome Committee (Part 2)

Neither of them liked being on the receiving end of an insult.

"That's a good one." Lith laughed at the joke as well, making everyone agree and glare at him. "Can I help you guys with something or is this just a friendly visit?"

"I hope this answers your question." Rem snapped her fingers and the various units of merfolk produced splashes of water that reached high above the Wayfinder, splitting sunlight into many rainbows on its passage.

Others conjured waves tall enough to reach the soldiers and pass them baskets filled with seafood and colorful garlands made from unknown algae.

"Don't worry we have already removed the poison." A female merfolk said with a warm smile only after a soldier had already worn the garland, creeping him out.

The poor man was torn between the instinct to throw it away and the desire to not disrespect his hosts.

His expression was so awkward that the merfolk burst into a gurgle of laughter.

"I'd say we're even now." Lith said. "Jokes aside, to what do we owe the pleasure of his welcome?"

"Not them. You." Rem pointed at him. "I require permission to come aboard."

"Permission granted." Orion said with a commanding voice, trying to regain some face.

A magical wave lifted the female merfolk on top of the Wayfinder. Lith offered her hand but Rem ignored it, giving him a deep bow before getting down on one knee.

"It's an honor to have you all back. I've brought enough of my people to safely escort you to shore. We have already secured the way and the perimeter of a great landing site. It has plenty of fresh water and trees.

"Your people can get fruit, meat, or fish based on what they like. You won't find all those things in a single place for kilometers."

"Thank you very much." Lith returned the bow and then offered Remhis hands to help her to stand up. "By the way, what do you mean, having us all back? I'm the only one here. Phloria…"

An awkward silence ensued as the Wayfinder approached a sandy shore. As Rem had promised, there was plenty of space for the Train, even after splitting it into singular wagons.

A wide river came from the mainland and flowed into the sea, its course surrounded by thick tall trees just a few dozen of metres from the shoreline.

"She gloriously fell in battle while fighting for her people. I know." Rem completed the phrase for him. "And you must be Lord Orion. We are very sorry for your loss. My people owe your daughter a huge debt of gratitude that neither death nor time can erase.

"If there's anything we can do for you, you just have to ask."

"Did you know my Little Flower?" Due to the circumstances of Phloria's death while enslaved by the Unwavering Loyalty array, her name was still muttered with shame and disgust in the Royal Court.

Everything she had done as an officer of the Kingdom, every one of the feats she had performed since she had enrolled in the White Griffon academy had been eclipsed by a single word: traitor.
