Chapter 463: A Reluctant Invitation
"Can you finally get out?"
The little girl was lying on Bright's clouds excitedly, her immature little face full of anticipation.
After staying in the belly of a fish for two hundred years, no matter who you are, you will yearn for the outside world, not to mention that she is just a lively and active little girl.
Is it really possible to go out?
Mr. Ashiye was far less cheerful than his daughter, and he was always worried.
Animals are capable of phantom beasts, and they know that they are not easy to mess with at this glance.
Now that they were able to withdraw pure gold, they didn't know what would happen next.
Bright understood what he was thinking.
After all, the effect of pure gold is really a bit against the sky.
What if it really might have some unknown flaw? The mere fact that a person can live for 200 years without aging at all is enough to make the whole sea go crazy.
And the importance of this Mr. Miskina Ashiyeh, who is probably the only one in the whole world capable of extracting pure gold, is of course unquestionable.
But he didn't say anything, no matter what he said at this time, it would only aggravate the man's fear, so let's go out first.
Bright sped up, and soon the three of them were back in the first stomach of the lanternfish.
It was at this time that Bright released several bubbles that were placed on Tezzolo and the father and daughter.
"Huh? Bubbles?"
The little girl shook her hand in surprise, and then she noticed that the bubble would wrap around her tightly no matter what she did, "It's so funny!"
"Is this the bubble of the Chambord Islands?"
As an old father, Mr. Ashiye was indeed well-informed, and he said with some surprise, "This is also the ability of the Phantom Beast Species? But why add bubbles?"
"Because—"
The corners of Bright's mouth hooked, and he sped up, rushing directly into the lanternfish's esophagus, all the way up to his mouth.
"Open your mouth!" Bright shouted.
So, outside, the huge lanternfish immediately opened its mouth, and the sea water surged towards his stomach again.
The massive amount of seawater under the weight of the deep sea is a devastating shock.
However, it is not much of a threat to the few people who are wrapped in bubbles, and the only trouble may be that the vortex of chaos may scatter the crowd.
However, this is not a big problem when Bright uses a powerful flame cloud to envelop several people and link with each other.
In this way, Bright and the three of them swam out of the mouth of the lanternfish and came to the deep sea again.
"Huh!!"
Olga couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, is it in the sea??"
Mr. Ashiye couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, "I am—that's it—"
No wonder you need bubbles!
Bright turned around, and the lanternfish had closed its mouth.
"That's all you take?"
A rumbling sound rang in Bright's ears.
"That's enough."
Bright wrapped the pure gold with clouds, so that its brilliant light could not be unleashed, "And aren't they your treasures?"
"You are worthy of being the king's guide, and you have a forgiving heart."
The lanternfish's voice was smiling, "Then, I'll take my leave and say hello to the king on my behalf."
"Of course."
Bright watched him turn away and disappear into the depths.
"Hey, hey, hey! Bright!!"
The little girl tried to call Bright's name, and when Bright turned her head, she saw a pair of sparkling eyes, "Were you, just talking to Lantern-sama?"
Mr. Ashiyeh was also shocked.
People communicate with sea kings or something-
"It's just a trivial ability."
Bright said lightly.
That's not trivial at all.
Mr. Ashiyeh was slandered.
"But Mr. Bright, where the hell are we now?"
Ashiye looked around, the dark depths of the sea making him feel hairy.
This Mr. Bright frightened him even more.
He was able to communicate with Lantern-sama, and even Lantern-sama was called by him.
It looks like a fish-man, but are the fish-people so powerful now?
"Look back."
Tezzolo said with a smile.
So the father and daughter looked back.
They saw an island looming in the far distance, in the light that shone from the sky.
Mr. Ashiyeh's eyes widened, "Do you mean—"
"Welcome to Fish-Man Island."
Bright led them to Fish-Man Island, "Mr. Ashiye, Olga."
"Fish-Man Island?"
The little girl immediately became elated, "Is that the island where the bastard dad once talked about, that mermaid and fish-man live?"
"That's it, yes."
Bright laughed, "This is the home of our mermaids and merfolk."
"Formally introducing,"
Tezzolo said with a smile, "This guy's name is Bright, the uncrowned king of Fish-Man Island, the man known as the Emperor of the Deep Sea."
Bright rolled his eyes.
I feel like goosebumps are going to rise.
"It feels amazing!"
The little girl was very enthusiastic, and said excitedly, "Is Brett the boss of Fish-Man Island?"
"Almost." Tezzolo thought for a moment, then replied.
Although Brett has always respected Ryugu Castle, whether it is at sea or on Fish-Man Island, everyone thinks that Brett is the leader of Fish-Man Island.
"That's amazing!!"
Olga cheered.
The ruler of Fish-Man Island?
Mr. Ashiye sighed in his heart, it seems that he has really met a terrible guy.
"Mr. Ashiyeh, may I ask a question?"
At this time, Bright suddenly spoke.
"Of course!"
Ashiye immediately regained his spirits.
Such a deep sea, you must not anger the man in front of you.
"When did you get swallowed in your stomach by the lanternfish?" Bright asked, "If someone in modern times had withdrawn pure gold and attracted pirates to rob it, the story would have spread long ago."
Tezzolo also cast his gaze with interest.
Since pure gold can make people immortal, how long have the two people who have been bathing in the pure gold light in the belly of the lantern fish live?
"Uh-"
Ashiye hesitated for a moment, and then he said honestly, "I don't know exactly how long it was, I just remember when we were swallowed up, yes,"
"1322 year of the sea calendar."
"Two hundred years ago?"
This time, even Tezzolo exclaimed.
"Two hundred years?"
Olga exclaimed synchronously, "Has it been that long? Isn't that two hundred and six years old?"
"It's a few years away, but it's great enough."
Tezzolo was heartily amazed.
On the surface, she is a little girl, but in fact she is enough to be his ancestors?
"That's right."
Bright calculated in his heart, isn't it exactly two hundred years since he met the little brother of the straw hat in the plot?
"Well, then, I have one more reluctant request,"
"Mr. Ashiye, can you tell me about the technique of extracting pure gold?"
Cut to the chase!
