Chapter 2303: Going Under the Sea

The Hope School’s opening ceremony ended in a happy ambiance.

Looking at the energetic children made people feel great.

Mag watched the homeroom teachers bring the children away with a smile. He turned his gaze and saw a familiar figure in the audience: Byron Field.

This tall and lean old gentleman was looking at the stage with a gratified and proud smile.

Mag had already received his timetable. He didn’t have any classes for the whole week. He would receive a list of names of the children who registered for his course on the following Monday. His first batch of students would register themselves voluntarily and he had a choice to choose them too.

The teachers left and Mag met Byron on his way to the audience seating area.

“Mr. Mag, long time no see.” The old man came up to shake Mag’s hand before teasing him, “Oh no. I should call you Teacher Mag now, am I right?”

“Oh please, don’t.” Mag waved his hands smilingly. “Did you come here specially for the Hope School’s opening ceremony?”

“Yes. I naturally have to come to see such a great event for myself.” Byron nodded. He looked at the children’s backs and said with gratification, “They are the future pillars of Chaos City. Chaos City has a Chaos School and now, it has another Hope School. Chaos City’s future is promising.”

“Pillars sounds rather heavy. I just hope that these children could have an easier future,” Mag said smilingly.

Byron looked at Mag quietly for a while before suddenly saying with a chuckle, “Luna is right. You’re an interesting man.”

“Did Teacher Luna praise my talents?”

“Luna has praised your talents more than once, and you deserve great credit for the establishment of Hope School.” Byron looked at Mag with appreciation.

“This is all Luna and the teachers’ hard work. I only did a tiny bit within my ability.” Mag quickly waved his hands. Looking at Luna, who was walking over, Mag smilingly said, “Principal Luna should be very busy today, so I won’t disturb your short meeting. Would you like to come to the restaurant for a drink today?”

Byron’s eyes glowed as he nodded. “Of course.”

Mag nodded and greeted Luna with a smile before leaving with Gina.

“Grandfather, what brought you here?” Luna strode over and said to Byron with surprise.

“My granddaughter has become a principal. How can I not come to see such a moment for myself,” Byron smilingly said.

Luna looked around warily.

Byron seemed to know what she was thinking and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I came alone. I didn’t let your father follow me.”

Luna heaved a breath of relief as she said to Byron, “Did you arrive yesterday or this morning?”

“I arrived this morning. I almost didn’t make it.”

“The weather is so cold. It must feel horrible to wake up so early.”

“This is nothing. Compared to what my granddaughter is going through, I’m having a good time.” Byron waved his hand smilingly. “I was chatting with Mr. Mag earlier. He’s still as humble and polite as ever.”

“Mr. Mag is a good man.” Luna praised Mag again.

“Yes. He even invited me for a drink tonight.” Byron nodded and continued on speaking, “Are you busy now?”

“No. The homeroom teachers have brought the children back to the classrooms for their first lessons now that the opening ceremony has ended.”

“Bring me for a tour in your school, then,” Byron said laughingly.

“Sure. Let me bring you around.” Luna nodded smilingly.

Sitting on the purple-striped griffin’s back, Mag asked, “Gina, is that Magical Pearl of the Sea still having unusual movements?”

“Yes, and it’s getting more obvious.” Gina took out the Magical Pearl of the Sea. There was a blue light blinking within that crystal ball and it was moving slowly as though it was alive.

“Did your race record anything about such movements?” Mag looked at the crystal ball with a frown. He was perplexed.

“No.” Gina shook her head. “But the High Priest once said that the Magical Pearl of the Sea was discovered in the traces of the God of the Sea and is connected to the God of the Sea. If there are unusual movements with the Magical Pearl, it must have something to do with the God of Sea.”

Mag lamented for a moment before saying, “But all of Lantisde has fallen into the Underground City. Hence, do the traces of the God of the Sea still exist?”

“The traces of the God of the Sea aren’t in Lantisde.”

“Hm?”

“The traces of the God of the Sea were discovered by the Lantisdean forebears by accident. They were located in a separated region from Lantisde, which was also the only connected space when Lantisde was sealed. It has an entrance within Lantisde’s territory.” Gina explained.

Mag nodded thoughtfully. This was different from what he had imagined. “What is in there?”

“There are many spatial interstices in the traces of the God of Sea. It’s very dangerous, so other than the High Priests, Priestesses, and a few powerhouses in the race, ordinary people are not allowed to go into it.” Gina shook her head. “I have never been into the traces either, but the High Priest had once told me that the legacy of the God of the Sea might be in there. We might be able to establish a real connection with the God of the Sea.”

Mag nodded. He didn’t quite believe in such whimsical things.

However, according to Gina’s descriptions, the traces of the God of the Sea might be a small space and one that was extremely unstable.

The spatial interstice was lethal to a normal person, but he should be able to protect Gina when they were investigating the traces.

Ah Zi flew at top speed and in less than two hours, the Boundless Sea Realm appeared in their sight again.

“Wait for me here, Ah Zi. We’ll be back soon.” Mag patted Ah Zi and took out the submarine. He dived towards the Lantisde’s old location with Gina.

Although Mag learned how to swim, this trench was tens of thousands of meters deep. Only an idiot would dive personally.

Although the submarine was descending rapidly and the surroundings got increasingly dark, they could still see the marine animals being spooked by the submarine and escaping occasionally.

Gina became quiet once they went into the sea.

This was Gina’s first time back since Lantisde sank.

Mag could empathize with her feelings of homesickness. After all, the old Lantisde had disappeared completely and they didn’t know what the hole that Underground City mended looked like. However, it was no longer Gina’s home.

Soon after, the submarine reached the bottom of the sea.

It was a bare sea bottom. Underground City gave it a layer of disguise, making this region look no different from the other regions at the sea floor.

However, it was also because of this that the traces of Lantisde’s existence had been completely wiped out.

Gina left the submarine and looked around. She pursed her lips together in an attempt to restrain her emotions.

Mag watched her from the submarine quietly. She could only digest this kind of emotion by herself. Any words of consolation would only be pale and weak.
