Chapter 244: Deep Sea rmaid
Her fair skin, deep blue long hair, and two ears resembling fish fins, along with a blue fish tail so beautiful that Janna's breath hitched for a mont—
In that instant, the identity of the creature sealed within the crystal orb beca clear beyond doubt.
"A Deep Sea rmaid!"
【Deep Sea rmaid: A transcendent creature residing in the Second-Tier Witch congregation site, Atlantis. They are natural water-elent spellcasters and darlings of the ocean. From birth, they possess the ability to command the sea, and as they age, their power gradually breaks through to the level of a full-fledged witch.—】
As she gazed at the obviously underage Deep Sea rmaid before her, the descriptions of this race continuously surfaced in Janna’s mind.
Like the elves, Deep Sea rmaids were also long-lived beings, with lifespans reaching around eight hundred years from the mont of birth.
Moreover, for the Deep Sea rmaid race, the first three hundred years were considered the "juvenile period," during which their strength generally remained at the level of witch apprentices.
Once they reached full maturity, their deepening understanding of the Ocean Law would cause their power to gradually ascend to the level of a full witch.
Not only that, Deep Sea rmaids were a species that naturally possessed the trait of Mind Allure from birth.
In addition to their exceptional appearance, their artistically beautiful tails and their ethereal voices—akin to heavenly music—were reasons they were favored by the Law of Beauty.
"La la—la la la—"
The singing once again rang in her ears. Looking at the doll-like delicate face, Janna couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.
Unlike Janna’s own godlike, divinely sculpted features, the Deep Sea rmaid before her was not necessarily more beautiful than Anna-Moonshadow, Freya, or Hill, the actresses Janna usually encountered at the Nightingale Opera House.
However, with that srizing, art-like fish tail enhancing her allure, the overall aura of the Deep Sea rmaid gained an indescribable magnificence and beauty. Even Janna often found herself entranced when her eyes fell upon the fish tail of the Deep Sea rmaid.
"So this is what it feels like to be captivated by Mind Allure..."
Because her own face was her own, Janna never experienced the sa overwhelming infatuation others did upon seeing her.
But this ti, as soone who also possessed Mind Allure, Janna could finally understand the emotions others felt.
Beyond awe, it was a heartfelt affection, and a deep-seated, stirring desire—that was the most direct manifestation of Mind Allure.
Just like now, Janna had a sudden impulse to make the Deep Sea rmaid’s tail her own.
"It seems the tail is the embodint of the Deep Sea rmaid’s interpretation of the Law of Beauty."
Moreover, from the resonant sensation she received from the Beauty Law Fragnt, it appeared that this Deep Sea rmaid’s grasp of the Law Fragnt was aligned with the aspect of Beauty in Appearance.
"La la——la la la—"
The ethereal chant flowed into Janna’s ears once more.
Although the Deep Sea rmaid in front of her hadn't moved, the chanting continued uninterrupted.
"This must be a self-protective bodily instinct."
After completing her preliminary observation of the Deep Sea rmaid sealed within the crystal orb, Janna’s spiritual consciousness withdrew from the orb.
"Senior Richard, are you aware that murdering a rmaid is a Great Sin throughout the witch congregation areas—especially in Atlantis?"
Taking a sip of iced coffee through a straw, Janna pushed the crystal orb back toward Richard-Eva and spoke in a calm tone that betrayed no emotion.
"Of course I know."
Hearing Janna's misunderstanding, Richard-Eva cast a soundproof barrier and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"This rmaid fell out of a spatial rift a few days ago while I was in Closed Cultivation in the family’s secret realm. When I found her, she was already in this half-dead state."
"Is that so?"
Seeing Richard-Eva’s sincere expression, Janna, despite their decent personal rapport, wouldn’t recklessly agree to any request without fully understanding the situation.
"If you don’t believe , I can sign a confidentiality contract with you later—of course, only if you’re willing."
Hearing his willingness to sign a contract, Janna nodded slightly.
"Alright. But before I accept this task, you need to clearly explain the background of this matter to and include the reward in the contract."
"Naturally, that’s no problem."
Seeing Richard-Eva agree so readily, Janna felt a bit more at ease, though also slightly suspicious.
By all logic, with Richard-Eva’s backing from the Eva family, he shouldn’t lack thods for purifying pollution. Yet his insistence on secrecy implied he didn’t want the family to know about this matter.
"Let put it this way. My goal this ti is quite simple—to rescue this rmaid in exchange for a reward of top-grade Blood Essence from Atlantis."
At that, Janna nodded in understanding.
Blood Essence was a material specifically used for purifying the bloodline of magical beasts or Bloodline-side apprentices—a very common material.
However, top-grade Blood Essence was extraordinarily rare. Outside of vampire castles in the Shadow Realm, only places ruled by transcendent beings like Dragon Fortress, Atlantis Crystal Palace, or the Forest of Elves might produce it.
Even then, it was virtually never seen on the market.
Because of this, many Bloodline-side apprentices who followed the Warlock path would settle for purchasing similarly effective Bloodline Potions from witch sects or other Second-Tier Witch congregation sites—often at a steep price.
Due to the rare supply and exorbitant costs, even soone like Richard-Eva, a family scion, would need to undergo layers of approval just to apply for a purchase.
His last request for Blood Essence had already been rejected by the Eva family, citing that the resources needed to be concentrated on other core mbers.
For this reason, upon stumbling across the Deep Sea rmaid, Richard-Eva chose to keep it secret from the family.
Otherwise, the Eva family might once again confiscate the rmaid under the sa pretext and fob Richard-Eva off with so other random resource.
"Senior Richard, before I agree to help, I must warn you—her soul has been sealed..."
