Chapter 2235: I Will Work Hard In the Future!
Mag went over to the ice cream shop and told Gina privately about Lantisde’s current situation.
Upon hearing that Lantisde had successfully assimilated into the Underground City, Gina could not hide her joy. However, when she found out that she could no longer meet them, she could not hide the disappointment in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, Gina. This is only temporary. When Lantisde has gained a stable foothold in the Underground City, they will have more of a say and by then, you will probably be able to meet them again.” Mag patted her shoulder gently.
“Mm.” Gina nodded lightly and smiled again. “It’s alright. I chose to stay. I am reassured hearing that they are all fine.”
Mag could not help but pity Gina, seeing her smile, he said, “I’ll ask them again after some time and see if we can enter the Underground City through other means. If we can, I’ll bring you along.”
“Alright.” Although Gina did not think Mag could find a way to enter the Underground City, she still had inexplicable confidence in him.
“Oh, right, Boss, I would like to return to Lantisde for the next few days.” Gina took out the crystal ball that Dexter gave her. Within the crystal ball, there was a blue glow. “Something abnormal is going on with the Magical Pearl of the Sea. The High Priest once said that this might be related to the traces of the God of the Sea. I want to go back to take a look.”
Mag knew she was referring to the sea trench where Lantisde was at. He glanced at the crystal ball and said with a nod, “I’ll accompany you there in a couple of days’ time. I’ll be worried if you go alone.”
“Alright.” Gina nodded obediently. She felt all warm inside.
“However, what is this legend of the God of the Sea? Is he Lantisde’s god?” Mag asked curiously.
“Yes. After Lantisde sank into the sea, we prayed to the God of the Sea and formed a relationship with it so that it would protect Lantisde. In the past thousands of years, the God of the Sea…” Gina nodded and told Mag about the legend of the God of the Sea.
There wasn’t much difference between the gods that the various races believed in. The relationship between the God of the Sea and Lantisde was very obscure. One of the mediums was the Magical Pearl of the Sea. There would occasionally be abnormal phenomena happening and that would be seen as the will of the God of the Sea, which would be interpreted by the High Priest.
This made Mag doubt the existence of the God of the Sea.
The existence of the Underground City had already crushed all his thoughts and beliefs previously.
The so-called gods above the 10th-tier existed in the Underground City and they were called the Extraordinaires.
The Elder Things migrated to the Underground World precisely because they were unable to become gods on the Norland Continent. If what the various races believed in were gods, where were they?...
The Extraordinaires were just like any other person but the gods were just coming up with such obscure things?
That was very strange indeed.
The various races did not even have very specific documentation of these gods. Even Irina, a princess who had grown up in the core power of the Wind Forest, had not been in contact with any so-called god.
Therefore, Mag was rather interested in this so-called abnormal movement of the God of the Sea. He wanted to see if it was a natural phenomenon that was turned into a mythicized or if someone was doing something funny.
Of course, the most important reason he wanted to make a trip to the Boundless Sea Realm was that he wanted to have some seafood.
Moreover, it had been a very long time since the restaurant employees went out on a team outing. The ladies could bring along their beautiful swimsuits and take a dip in the sea and relax. Hehe… that’s a pretty good idea.
In the evening, Miya came to the restaurant early.
“Miya, why are you here so early today?” Mag saw that Miya seemed rather troubled, so he let her in first.
“Boss, I…” Miya walked in, stopped, and looked up at Mag. She pressed her lips together and said hesitantly, “I am a little worried for Elizabeth.”
“Don’t worry. Everyone said that she was fine and safe. She might even be back at Dragon Island already,” Mag said with a smile. He heard Irina say yesterday that Lance had returned to the Frost Dragon Island and had taken the Frost Throne back. Elizabeth returned with him.
However, they had yet to come for Miya. They might have other plans, so it was not appropriate for him to reveal too much.
“But…” Miya was still worried. She took out a delicate money pouch and asked Mag, “Do you know ways that I can contact her? Do you need money for that? I have a few months’ worth of salary here.”
Mag thought for a while and said, “I’ll ask around for you. I have a friend who happens to be in this field. I’ll let you know again in a couple of days.”
Miya’s eyes lit up and she said delightedly, “Alright! Thank you so much, Boss!”
“Here, this money is for you.” Miya put her money pouch in Mag’s hand.
“I don’t need money to ask my friend. Keep this money for yourself. It’s the hard-earned money you earned.” Mag smiled and pushed the money back to Miya.
Miya looked at Mag. She held the money pouch out for a while before taking it back. After that, she gave Mag a big hug. She let him go and took two steps back, saying seriously, “Boss, I will work hard in the future!”
“It’s fine now. If you work even harder, there would be nothing for others to do.” Mag stroked her head with a smile, thinking that Rankster and Elizabeth would probably come looking for her in a couple of days. He wondered if Miya would choose to return to the Frost Dragon tribe to be a princess or if she would stay here.
Although he did have some selfish thoughts, Mag would still respect Miya’s decision. This little girl had been through too much suffering. Her father was completely absent and her mother passed away early. She had been roaming the streets as a half-dragon.
Rankster really owed her too much and would probably want to make it up to her.
With his current power and status, it would not be difficult to provide her with a comfortable life.
Besides, with Elizabeth around, even if she was to return to Frost Dragon Island, she would not be lonely.
“I wonder if Big Sister Elizabeth found her father,” Miya mumbled softly, a little worried and a little expectant.
Mag nodded slightly and said, “Perhaps. She looked so hard she probably found him.”
“It would be great if she found him,” Miya said with a smile.
“How is the ice cream shop doing recently? Can you cope?” Mag changed the topic.
“It is rather busy. The children have not started school yet, so many parents bring their children to the ice cream shop to play. That way, they would not be lonely.” Miya nodded and said with a smile, “But Gina is probably the busiest. She’s the only one who could handle the naughtiest children and crybabies.”
Mag smiled upon hearing that. Gina’s talent in that was indeed admirable.
“Right, during the period when you were out, a missionary had been coming to Mamy Restaurant often to wait. He said he was looking for Little Amy but did not say what it was about. Sometimes, he would just sit at the door for the entire afternoon. However, he hasn’t been coming this week. I almost forgot about it,” Miya said suddenly.
