Chapter 298: Capital of the Sea

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Have you heard of Yousar, the city that was left by the ancient sea god, the legendary capital of the sea?” An old drunk man spoke, while sitting on a boat.

Rumors had it that, deep in the sea, there was a city that had been left behind by an ancient sea god. If was said that if anyone could find this city, he could inherit the legacy of the ancient sea god.

“So, what is this legacy?” a young sailor asked the old drunkard who was beside him.

On the deck of the boat, a large group of sailors were surrounding the old drunkard. Many of them were holding mops, brushes, barrels and hammers. As they were cleaning, they had overheard the old drunkard’s story.

The boat that they were in belonged to the Hailuga Kingdom, which was founded a year ago. At this time, though the war of maritime rights between three Kingdoms and the Mermaid Kingdom was not yet over, all of them had already been exhausted by the fighting, so the sea seemed to offer them a peaceful reprieve.

The old drunkard then continued his story with a mysterious voice. “Legend has it that whoever finds the city of Yousar will become the master of the sea!”

People heard this kind of story every day. Whether it be mermaids, elves, or humans, they were all searching for Yousar. Although they didn’t know where the rumor first came from, it seemed that everyone believed in the existence of this mysterious sea city.

But, this city was supposedly deep in the sea and was a forbidden place for human beings to enter. Also, it was impossible to dive deep into the sea to find this city.

However, the mermaids had a huge advantage in this respect, as their anatomy allowed them to explore many possible places where Yousar might exist. As such, way in the depths of the sea, you could often see cruising mermaids, who were possibly searching for Yousar!

In addition, Koutao sahagins were also searching secretly for the remains of the city of Yousar. Even Bobby, a sahagin alchemist who had never left the Swirl Continent, left Prenburg and quietly went to the deep sea to search.

Hailuga Kingdom also took part in this endeavor, and the alchemy sea monster Hellem, which was stationed in the harbor of Alast, also joined in the search.

Soon, humans, mermaids, and elves began to expand their maritime routes. They even went beyond the borders of the Alen Continent, the Yala Continent, and the Swirl Continent!

Thus, a new round of pioneering navigation began, not only to find the legendary city of Yousar, but also to discover new continents like Marina Bossay had done before. New adventurers who were respectful to Marina Bossay and Jonathan Brown aspired to usher in a new era.

Countless adventurers heard about the legends and stories of the sea, each yearning for the adventurous life at sea and hoping to get rich overnight.

Outside the Stormy Sea, just west of the Alen Continent and north of the Swirl Continent, was the Bazaar Sea. It was a previously unknown sea that had just been found.

As a half-naked fairy with a slender snake tail arrived here, her tail stirred up bubbles in the sea. While she swam, she stretched out her hands as if she was dancing to the rhythm of the sea waves.

She was Olicia, the Stormy Fairy. She was looking for her destination according to her memories.

A huge squid, which looked like a rolling mountain range, held a city on its head. The city had a blue protective thin film above it, which was shining like a jewel deep in the sea.

At this moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on Olicia’s gorgeous face, while light circles shone In her magnificent green eyes.

“I found it! Yousar, the capital of the sea god!” Olicia exclaimed.

Olicia was also a Child of the Sea, but she didn’t inherit the chaotic and disorderly features of Sakun like the other Children of the Sea. Instead, she was born with high intelligence, like the hawk banshees and the mermaids. In fact, her birth had a legendary connection.

Olicia was conceived by a human woman. Her mother was swept into the sea by the waves of a storm. After that, her mother was found on the coast of a small village in the Holima Kingdom on the Alen Continent. When she woke up, she found that she was pregnant!

When this human woman gave birth to Olicia, the whole village was shocked. No one thought that a human being’s baby could be a monster!

Olicia was abandoned and thrown into the sea. Then, she became a Child of the Sea. As such, she was at the top of the food chain, even in her infancy. The whole sea was her playground from day one!

Olicia dove towards the bottom of the sea, gradually coming closer to the edge of the trench. As she moved forward, the outline of the city of Yousar became more and more clear in her eyes. Finally, she saw the legendary city of the sea clearly!

The huge city was built on the fossilized head of a giant squid. In its heyday, the city had been carried by this monster to travel all over the world, inspecting everywhere in the sea, like a god inspecting his own lands!

There were many kinds of aquatic plants, coral, and undersea plants on the surface of the city. A large number of fish also shuttled outside it, but they could not swim across the film.

This was because the film isolated water and everything outside from the inside. However, everything inside of the city could still be seen through the film.

Yousar was a city full of exotic style. Although it had mostly been turned into ruins, its exquisite pillars that supported buildings, corridors, special fountain gardens, waterways, tall stairs and domes still looked amazing, especially in this deepest darkest world at the bottom of the sea.

When Olicia got closer, she noticed that the buildings in this city were much taller than average buildings. In fact, it looked like a city that was built for giants!

The central main temple especially looked like a giant temple of the gods. Each of its stone slabs was more than ten meters long and wide, and its stairs were so high, ordinary people were unable to climb them!

Olicia approached Yousar with excitement and carefully touched the film. Unexpectedly, it did not resist her. As such, she easily penetrated it and went inside the sea capital, which seemed to have not received visitors for the past thousand year at least!

Olicia raised her head and looked up. The film above her head looked like the sky, as it was emitting a pale blue light.

The moment Olicia entered, she seemed to hear a bell ringing. She also saw that, at the top of the central main temple, a brilliant blue light was shining. In a moment, countless rays of light shot out from the temple and illuminated the entire sea.

Dong!

The bell sound seemed to activate the entire city, and at the same time, the other three sea god candidates who were exploring other regions heard the bell as well!

Mermaid Gina was searching for Yousar in the Stormy Sea on her boat, the Queen. Also, a sahagin alchemist was steering a steam alchemy submarine in the darkness of the sea. The light of the submarine flowed with the continuous waves of the currents. Jonathan was standing on the head of Hellem. When he was crossing a misty area, he suddenly heard a roar from coming the boat, as if it had lost something important to its functioning.

Simultaneously, the three of them had raised their heads and looked in the direction of the distant Bazaar Sea.

“The capital of the sea! It’s open!” they all said at the same time.
