Chapter 396

"Further ahead lies the waters of Atlantis, the territory of the Sea Dragon race. We cannot proceed any further."

"Hey, why? We're already at the door, why don't we just go in?" Rebecca asked.

Losweiser withdrew her hand, looked down at the little girl, and patiently explained.

"We flew here without communicating with the Sea Dragon King beforehand, which is fundamentally not allowed and would even be considered a hostile act. If we continue to advance rashly, they will not hesitate to attack us."

This time, Losweiser made an exception to save Tiger.

She had told Leon before that Dragon Kings shouldn't move around freely, as it could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

But now that lives are at stake, she has no time to worry about those things.

Flying here was the best that Losweiser could do.

If this continues, they'll probably be attacked by harpoons that fly out of the sea before they even see Claudia.

"What do we do now? We—"

"Cough! Cough cough—"

Tiger suddenly coughed violently, blood still seeping from his chest.

"Master!"

Leon ran over and knelt down beside Tiger.

"Have we... have we arrived...?" Tiger asked weakly.

"We're already on the outskirts of the Sea Dragon race, Master."

"Really... then... there should still be time to see her..."

Upon hearing this, Leon asked anxiously, "See her? Who? Master, tell me her name, I'll go find her for you!"

Tiger slowly closed his eyes; he no longer had the strength to stay awake.

"Master? Master! Master!"

Rebecca quickly came up to check on the situation. "The healing magic can only last for another hour at most. We must find someone who can save Dad within an hour."

Leon bit his lower lip, and after a brief moment of thought, he got up and walked to Losweiser's side.

"We can't fly any further, right?"

"Um, I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for, thank you, Losweiser, for bringing us here."

Losweiser glanced at the boundless sea in the distance. "What do you plan to do? Without the guidance of the Sea Dragon race, we won't be able to find the Sea Dragon Sanctuary at all."

What are your plans?

To be honest, Leon didn't know either.

He had rarely felt so lost; he had only come here because of his master's words, "Go to the Sea Dragon race."

What happens after we get here?

What should we do next?

All I can do is gaze at the boundless sea, listen to my master's increasingly weak breathing, and quietly wait for the ending I least want to see to happen.

This must not be allowed.

Leon ran to the shore and shouted at the top of his lungs towards the sea.

"Claudia! Claudia, can you hear me! Please, save my master!!"

That's a primitive method that only an idiot would come up with.

Leon knew this, but how could he be willing to sit idly by and wait for his death?

"Claudia!"

The shouts were drowned out by the vast sea, disappearing without a trace with the sea breeze.

Rebecca blinked her big eyes blankly. Although she didn't know who this Claudia the captain was calling out was, but...

"Claudia! Please, save my father! Please!"

"Claudia!"

"..."

The two idiots just stood there on the shore, shouting at each other.

He didn't stop even when his voice was hoarse.

Finally, they stopped after Rebecca could no longer make a sound.

However, the sea remained calm, without even a ripple.

A sense of despair quietly took hold of Leon's heart.

He gazed at the sea, a profound sense of powerlessness washing over him.

Leon opened his mouth and continued shouting in a hoarse voice.

"Claudia ...Claudia—cough cough—"

Thump—

Leon knelt helplessly on the shore, supporting himself with his hands, his anxious heart burning like fire.

"Why did this happen... why did this happen..."

"Team leader..."

He can defeat God of Death countless times, but God of Death only needs to defeat him once.

In my despair, the sea breeze blew by, and in that breeze, a familiar voice rang out.

"Running to someone's doorstep and shouting, that's really impolite."

Following the sound, I saw a beautiful woman standing gracefully on the rocks, her arms crossed over her chest. A gentle breeze caressed her long, calming sea-blue hair.

104 Master's Wife

Rebecca became wary as the beautiful blue-haired woman appeared silently before her.

She took a closer look and noticed that the beautiful woman also had a long tail like her sister-in-law's, but unlike Losweiser, the other woman's tail was sea blue.

So, this is the Claudia that the captain kept shouting at the sea...?

Upon seeing Claudia's appearance, Leon didn't mince words at all.

"Claudia, please save my master."

The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Tiger lying on the ground. Then, her expression paused, and her eyes became slightly complicated.

From her displeasure at hearing the name 'Master' to her astonishment and surprise upon actually seeing Tiger, these complex emotions flashed across Claudia's face in a short span of time.

Leon noticed these subtle facial expressions, which suggested that his master did indeed have some connection with the Sea Dragon race.

"Why should I save a human being?"

She neither agreed nor refused, but instead questioned Leon about his human identity.

"My master kept saying he wanted to come to the Sea Dragon race before he fell into a coma. I think... there should be a way to save him here."

"That's not the answer I want to hear, Leon."

Claudia said slowly, "Or, let me put it another way: you, and the little girl beside you, are both human, right?"

Leon pursed his lips and lowered his voice.

He looked at his master; now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide it any longer.

Yes, we are all human beings.

"So, the hero of the Dragon race, the Silver Dragon Prince Leon Casmod, was actually a human."

Leon's gaze darted away slightly, but in the end he met Claudia's gaze directly, meeting her long, phoenix-shaped eyes.

"You're right, Claudia. I'll explain everything to you, but please save my master first; he doesn't have much time left."

"Hmph, brat, at least you're honest."

Claudia gave a meaningful hum, then jumped off the rocks and walked over.

Rebecca's eyes were fixed on the beautiful young woman. She quietly leaned close to Leon's ear and whispered, "..."

"Is she the Claudia we were calling out earlier?"

"Um."

Wow, with such a huge sea, she could still hear us calling her?

"Don't be naive, human girl."

Claudia stood beside Losweiser. "It was Losweiser who released magical fluctuations that only the Dragon King could sense, which is how I knew you were here. Otherwise, even if you shouted until you were hoarse, I wouldn't have heard you."

"Dragon King... but isn't Poseidon the Dragon King of the Sea Dragon race?"

"Nonsense, my father isn't home, otherwise you'd be greeted by the Sea Dragon race's Guard corps right now."

Rebecca swallowed hard and lowered her voice, "This aunt seems to have a bit of a temper."

Leon also squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "If you know she has a bad temper, then don't call her 'Auntie'."

"Okay, I understand!"

Compared to Leon and Rebecca, Losweiser was much more composed.

Because she knew very well that the moment Claudia sensed the magical fluctuations in the newcomer, she knew who it was.

So if Claudia had no intention of helping in the first place, she could have simply stayed out of the way and not come out no matter how much the scoundrel and the little girl called her.

Now that she has shown up, it means that Tiger still has hope.

Claudia crouched down to check on Tiger's condition.

"His heart is severely damaged, and other internal organs are also damaged to varying degrees. Who attacked him?" Claudia asked gravely.

"A special new squad cultivated by the Empire, the Knife Trio, who possess the power of the Primal Power."

"Ah... I've heard that. That trio has been quite active on the front lines lately, and many tribes have suffered heavy losses."

Leon stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is my master?"

Claudia replied bluntly, "Not good."

After saying that, she stood up. "I'm going to take him back for a thorough examination to see if there's any way to save his life."

Upon hearing this, Leon's eyes lit up, unable to hide his joy and excitement. "You promised to save my master?!"

"Don't be too happy yet, Leon. With his injuries like this, all I can say is... I will do my best."

Claudia walked to the shore. "Alright, follow my guidance and head to the underwater Atlantis Palace, everyone."

As soon as she finished speaking, a surge of magical energy erupted from Claudia and spread outwards.

The next moment, a giant blue dragon shot straight into the sky from the light.

However, the dragon's appearance is quite different from that of traditional Dragon Race such as Losweiser and Ischa.

Claudia's dragon form is more like the "Flood Dragon" in mythology, with a slender body and agile movements.

"Wow... I've never seen a dragon like this before."

"It's so beautiful," Rebecca exclaimed.

"Cough cough."

"Of course, my sister-in-law's dragon form is also beautiful, everyone is beautiful!"

Young people learn things so quickly. Thirty seconds ago they were calling someone "auntie," and thirty seconds later they're treating everyone equally.

Claudia hovered above the island, and in an instant, a giant magical bubble formed beneath everyone's feet.

The bubble carried several people, following Claudia as she plunged into the sea.

As they descended deeper, the ever-changing and colorful underwater world gradually unfolded before their eyes.
