Chapter 175
Looking at Leon’s calm and indifferent face, Rasmodius chuckled and asked, “Any other questions?”
“No.” Leon had already lost interest in anything involving the mermaid lady. After learning that being with her would eventually turn him into a fish, his resolve had already turned to steel.
“Then treat this experience as a journey to broaden your horizons.” Rasmodius said no more and simply followed the guiding Mermaid, watching the vast royal palace complex grow ever larger as they waited to arrive at their destination.
Even if Leon no longer had the desire to interact more deeply with the Mermaid lady, he was still quite curious about merfolk culture and architecture. This mysterious civilization beneath the waves reminded him of the stories of Atlantis he had heard as a child.
If that legend were real, perhaps it would look like this.
“Guardian, we’ve arrived at the palace. From here on, I can’t guide you further.” The guiding Mermaid stopped swimming before the towering, splendid castle complex and spoke apologetically to Rasmodius.
“I can take it from here. Return to your post.” Rasmodius nodded, then led Leon forward without restraint toward the grand castle gates.
“When we meet the Mermaid Queen later… we don’t have to kneel, right?” Leon asked, remembering the title and the lecture Rasmodius had once given him on merfolk slavery.
If Rasmodius said kneeling was required, Leon would immediately refuse to meet her. Aside from Heaven, Earth, and his parents and teachers, his knees wouldn’t bend for anyone.
