Siren Judge Jiezena

The Magic Airship entered Sun Island Bay but did not land at the North Coast dock.

It continued flying south in the Wind Stream Layer for a while, then flew directly out of Sun Island Bay and into a more expansive sea area before slowly landing on the Wind Stream Layer surface.

This area no longer belongs to the waters of Sun Island Bay. Lying on the side of the Magic Airship, you can clearly see the long coastline stretching as far as the eye can see. The Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range to the north are like a high wall reaching into the clouds, dividing the Pattington Plane into two worlds.

You can't see the mainland across the sea. Looking out, apart from some isolated islands in the sea, the area south of Sun Island Bay is all blue.

"I never imagined the sea here would be so vast!"

Miss Tiffany took a deep breath and said to Moira, who had just come out of the Ship Building's lounge.

"I'm going to find Jiezena in the sea later. You stay on the boat and wait for me. There might be sea monsters around here. The safest thing to do is to let the Magic Airship float in the air until I come out of the sea, and then you can land and pick me up."

"Okay, okay. You're so nagging. Be careful too. I'll wait for you to come back!" Moira was still a little sleepy.

Miss Tiffany braced herself on the gunwale with one hand, swept her legs over the gunwale, and gracefully leaped into the deep blue sea, head first and foot last.

Moira rushed to the side of the boat and saw Miss Tiffany make a small splash on the surface of the sea. The light reflected from the scales on her tricolor fish tail was particularly dazzling in the sea.

The seawater was crystal clear. Miss Tiffany continued to dive, her figure slowly disappearing into the deep blue sea...

The Half-Elf captain immediately activated the Floating Device to the fullest extent, allowing the Magic Airship to quickly rise into the sky. He didn't want the Magic Airship to be dragged to the bottom of the sea by the Deep Sea Magic Beast that emerged from the abyss.

This isn't Sun Island Bay; the chances of encountering Deep Sea Magic Beast here are actually quite high.

Miss Tiffany transforms into a mermaid, constantly diving down, and the magnificent Coral Reef in the sea bring the entire underwater world to life and make it three-dimensional.

Intense sunlight shone from the surface of the sea into the ocean.

As the waves ripple, beams of dazzling light appear on the coral reefs.

A group of Sun Island fishmen were searching the seabed for a type of shellfish that could contain pearls, Miss Tiffany quickly followed them.

These Sun Island fishmen swim in the sea like four-legged frogs, constantly using their webbed Flippers to propel themselves through the water. With each movement, their bodies leap forward a bit.

Of course, they don't swim very fast in the sea, and in fact, they can't run very fast on the beach either...

The Sun Island Fishmen are low-intelligence subhumans; an adult Sun Island Fishman has the intelligence of a seven-year-old child.

The Sun Island fish-men have large eyeballs on the sides of their heads, giving them a very wide field of vision. Their blind spot is only about 30 degrees behind them.

Miss Tiffany swam quickly toward them. She had just dived into the sea from the surface, and the light on the surface of the sea fluctuated noticeably, so the Sun Island fishmen spotted Miss Tiffany almost immediately.

They were so frightened on the seabed that they scattered and fled in all directions. Because they couldn't swim fast, the Sun Island fish people were used to hiding in the crevices of the Coral Reef.

Miss Tiffany didn't even need to use magic to trap them. She leisurely swam to the edge of the Coral Reef reef, gripped the somewhat sharp Coral Reef edge with both hands, and casually peeked inside to discover the hiding place of the Sun Island fishmen.

She reached out and grabbed the foot of a Sun Island fishman, pulling it directly out of a crevice in the Coral Reef.

"These Sun Island fish-men understand Naga Language," Miss Tiffany asked, pursing her lips.

"Are you servants of the Siren of Jiezena?"

The Sun Island fish-man was trembling with fear, but after hearing Miss Tiffany's question, he nodded repeatedly.

Miss Tiffany never expected to be so lucky; she found the Sun Island fish-men who followed the siren Jiezena as soon as she dived into the sea.

"Do you know where Jiezena is?" Miss Tiffany asked again.

The fishman nodded repeatedly.

Miss Tiffany released her hand, stroked its large head covered in silvery-white scales, and said, "Then take me to her. I'm actually an old friend of hers..."

Jiezena was taking a nap in the palace formed by the Coral Reef. The palace in the sea didn't need a roof, but it did need a certain degree of privacy.

The palace that Jiezena chose for herself was located in a huge Coral Reef reef. The layers of Coral Reef provided her with ample cover. Only at noon would a beam of light shine in. She lay on a stone slab several meters long, her mottled snake tail drooping over the edge of the slab.

Jiezena possesses an incomparably slender waist. Her injuries from a while ago have just healed. The Deep Sea Magic Beast that signed a master-servant contract with her has drifted into the Great Sea Abyss and will need to be cared for for at least a few months before it can return to live in the shallow sea area.

This Coral Reef area is very beautiful, but other predatory marine animals occasionally appear in the vicinity, and some of them pose a great threat to her.

Sometimes, Jiezena even wondered if she should take back Sun Island Bay, because that area of water was truly safe.

She was lying on the stone bed enjoying the soft sunlight when she heard the loud cries of several Sun Island fishmen coming from not far away.

Normally, these Sun Island fishmen dare not enter her resting area unless they bring guests...

Suddenly, Jiezena was half-asleep, woke up and sat up to see several Sun Island fishmen bringing Miss Tiffany over.

"I know... nothing good is ever going to come by you, but I just can't refuse."

The siren Jiezena twisted her shoulders, got up from the stone bed, stretched her body in the sea, and spoke to Miss Tiffany in a languid manner.

"Yes! Do you know how far I flew here?"

Miss Tiffany swam over, circled around Jiezena, and then said, "Not bad, your body has completely recovered."

"Speak, what do you need me for? I'll definitely help you if I can..."

The siren Jiezena said quite decisively.

Miss Tiffany then immediately explained her purpose...

After hearing this, the siren Jiezena stared at Miss Tiffany in disbelief. She asked uncertainly, "You mean you're going to take me to the inland plateau just to find out who's lying?"

Miss Tiffany nodded.

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

"Okay, if you're sure you want to do this, I'll go with you..."

The siren Jiezena replied.

The world beyond the ocean was naturally incredibly mysterious to the siren Jiezena.

This time, Miss Tiffany invited her to visit the Plateau City, Jiezena was filled with anticipation.

But at the same time, she was filled with trepidation. After all, as a siren, once she left the sea, she would completely lose her last line of protection.

Torn between conflicting emotions and the promise she made, she reluctantly agreed to the trip to the plateau.

^...

The Silvermoon Elf Merchants heard Mulin tell him to wait in the Plateau City for ten days.

Ten days later, the City Hall will officially announce the verdict against the Half-Elf collector.

At first, the merchant didn't think it was a big deal. He thought that as long as he waited ten more days, all the troubles would be completely resolved, and then it would be time for him to leave the Plateau City.

He couldn't buy any Magic Herbs here, so if he left, he didn't plan to come back...

The day before yesterday, his Half-Elf follower, who had always been by his side, was invited to the military camp by several Dark Moon Elf Warrior for a chat. When he returned from the camp, he seemed preoccupied and absent-minded.

Although the Half-Elf follower swore he hadn't said anything he shouldn't have, the Silvermoon Elf Merchants still felt a chill run down his spine.

He thought about it all night...

In the end, he decided to secretly leave the Plateau City on the morning of the fifth day after the Half-Elf gatherer was imprisoned.

As he lay in bed, he thought to himself, with so many elves coming and going at the city gates every day, who would notice him?

So, just as dawn broke, he got out of bed, changed into a striped robe favored by merchants, and draped a traveler's cloak over it before heading towards the city gate with his Half-Elf.

The Silvermoon Elf Merchants even had a backup plan; he had his Half-Elf follower leave the city separately from him.

There were about a dozen elves waiting at the city gate.

Besides a group of Half-Elf Warrior on military duty, there was also a group of Half-Elf gatherers about to embark on a long journey. While they waited at the city gate, they were discussing the Magic Herbs that were abundant in the Nikoba Mountain Range. In addition, there were several Elf Merchants leading their horses and waiting in a corner.

Silvermoon Elf Merchants huddled around the other Elf Merchants, anxiously waiting for the city gate guards to open the gates.

Soon, the thick city gate was pushed open by the gate guards.

The Silvermoon Elf Merchants mingled among the crowd.

The first to leave the Plateau City were the Half-Elf Warrior riding warhorses, followed by the gatherers and merchants who swarmed in...

Just as the Silvermoon Elf Merchants was about to walk out of the city gate, someone patted him hard on the shoulder. The Silvermoon Elf Merchants turned his head and glanced at him.

A Dark Moon Elf Warrior, dressed in standard military uniform, stood ramrod straight behind him and said:

"You cannot leave the Plateau City for the time being."

The Silvermoon Elf Merchants's expression changed. He whispered to the Dark Moon Elf Warrior, "You have no right to restrict the freedom of a Silver Moon Elf. I am a Silver Moon Elf!"

The Dark Moon Elf Warrior remained unmoved. He said sternly to the Silvermoon Elf Merchants, "You are currently involved in a case, and you cannot leave Plateau City until this case is resolved!"

How much longer do I have to wait?

The Silvermoon Elf Merchants's expression turned somewhat unnatural, and he questioned the Dark Moon Elf Warrior in a sharp voice.

Before the Dark Moon Elf Warrior could answer, a Magic Airship slowly descended from the clouds and flew towards the Air Port Dock by the City Wall. On the Magic Airship, elves waved vigorously towards the ground.

At this moment, Vice Commander Tennyson walked over from outside the crowd with several Dark Moon Elf Warrior, and said to the Silvermoon Elf Merchants with a cold face, "You don't need to wait anymore, Boss Roy is preparing to hold a public trial for this case!"
