Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 164 Mermaid Kingdom

Cecilia was just stunned.

She still couldn't find out whether Gallup had any doubts or how much he doubted.

After hesitating for a moment, she still made her request, "I want to go to Clifton Harbor."

Gallup didn't ask any questions and agreed readily, "Sure, when are you going? Do you want me to call Valken back for you?"

Cecilia didn't test Gallup, but instead felt Gallup's test.

When Valken first arrived in the city of Aslade, Cecilia asked him privately if he would be willing to go back to Petra if he had the chance.

Valken's response at the time was, "I will return to Petra on my own strength."

Cecilia naturally respected Valken's choice.

She didn't ask Valken directly why he gave up Petra's good life, but it seemed that it was Gallup's slight knock that made him realize that his destiny could not be controlled by others.

"No need, he's doing pretty well in Aslaide City."

Gallup snorted, "You seem to care about him."

Cecilia smiled awkwardly, "After all, he's the knight who has taken care of me for three or four years, so I should pay more attention to him."

Gallup was noncommittal. "I went to Aslaide City with you before. Do you still remember Joyce?"

Cecilia nodded.

If Gallup remembered it, how could she, the person involved, not remember it?

"If that doesn't work, have him take a few people with you."

Cecilia had no choice but to accept the offer.

Gallup invited Cecilia to have dinner with him, and Cecilia agreed.

Cecilia always had to be extra careful when dealing with Gallup.

Especially after she began to wonder if Gallup was on to something.

There was no time to lose in setting off for Clifton Harbour.

During the meal, Cecilia did not say much, in accordance with the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Gallup, on the other hand, asked, "I heard that when you went to Aslaide City last time, you met Finnian from the church on the road?"

I didn’t see Gallup ask when I came back last time.

After complaining, I remembered that I didn’t stay in Petra for long the last time I came back, and I ran away.

Cecilia nodded, "We met by chance on the road. Finnian was ordered by the leader to go to Aslaide City to preach."

Gallup responded suddenly, "It's better to be cautious in such encounters."

Cecilia understood.

The church has been deeply rooted in Anatolia for many years. If people had not begun to resent the church's oppression in the past two years, Gallup would not have been able to take back most of the power from the church so easily.

It's not entirely incomprehensible that Gallup is wary of the church.

Cecilia also doubted whether Finnian's appearance was too deliberate.

First, he took over the Ruby Wizards Guild, and then he ran into me on the way to Aslaide City.

But then Cecilia changed her mind and realized that Finnian didn't know the relationship between her and Leslie Ann.

It's not a deliberate approach.

Later, when he left Aslade City, he didn't.

He stayed near the Wakadi Mountains and said he wanted to continue preaching, but I don't know if it was true or not.

This time when I traveled from the south to the city of Aslade, I completely forgot about Finnian.

"I heard that he only came back the day before yesterday. Did you meet him again when you were in the Wakadi Mountains?"

Cecilia shook her head when she heard this.

I probably understood what Gallup meant. "You mean you want him to go to Clifton Harbor with me?"

Gallup shook his head. "I'm worried about you going on a long journey, and if you bring someone who I don't know if he's a human or a ghost with you, you'd better not go."

Cecilia smiled.

"The church has never been directly controlled by the king, and I have no way to control the behavior of church members. If you 'accidentally' run into that guy on your way there, be careful."

Cecilia nodded.

When the meal was almost over, Gallup suddenly mentioned someone else, "Or let Mel go with you?"

Cecilia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Forget it. He avoids me as much as possible. Letting him be with me is just punishing him."

Gallup was just finishing his dinner. He put down his cutlery and wiped the grease off his mouth with a towel beside him. “I remember you liked him quite a lot before.”

Cecilia was not full, but she also put down her cutlery, "She is just young and naive."

Gallup nodded and stood up. "I won't take you there. Just be careful when you go back."

Cecilia stood up and saluted, "Goodbye, father."

After returning to Petra and solving the most fundamental problem, Gallup no longer placed ads in the newspaper looking for the princess.

People's attention has shifted from Gallup's search for his daughter to his new policies.

In just one week, new decrees were issued every day.

There are corresponding decrees for every region and every class of human beings.

The most noteworthy issue is the government's resettlement of refugees.

Gallup urged cities and towns to properly resettle the refugees.

If anyone is found violating the order, the consequences may be dismissal from office at the least or even death at the most.

Now the leaders at all levels are on high alert.

Cecilia, who had received the news, was almost arriving at Clifton Port by boat.

Just like last time, Cecilia took the water route this time.

After Valken was dismissed, Joyce took over Valken's job and served as the current leader of the Knights.

After some time working for Gallup, Joyce can now be said to have covered all aspects.

Even though Cecilia didn't have as much pressure as Gallup, Joyce still did what he could to the best of his ability.

Very thoughtful about many small things.

At first Cecilia didn't notice these details.

It was also by chance that Cecilia happened to discover Joyce's little plan.

Only then did I realize how much thought Joyce put into it.

After realizing this, Cecilia tactfully told Joyce that he didn't need to do so.

She knew Joyce understood, but Joyce still did it.

Cecilia didn't know what to say.

It was only later in the journey that I began to look forward to the little details that Joyce had arranged.

The last time I came to Clifton Harbor, I was here to investigate the prophecy that Leonard had mentioned.

This time we really just passed through Clifton Port.

Clifton Harbour is located at the estuary where the Moslaha River flows into the Rittad Sea.

The largest mermaid kingdom is located deep in the Rittad Sea.

If humans want to visit the mermaid kingdom, the first test is to reach a small island called Erquis in the Daritad Sea.

El Quezon Island is the legendary Mermaid Island.

It is said that when the weather is fine, many mermaids will swim up from the bottom of the sea and lie on the island of El Quesi to bask in the sun.

If you are lucky, you may meet a kind-hearted mermaid who will lead the human beings into the legendary mermaid kingdom.
