From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 537 - 345: Resurgence

Hearing the reconciliation request made by Sea Demon High Priestess Sona, Lu Heng was slightly surprised.

She had only one request, which was for the Black Iron Dwarves to stop dumping the Gros Embers.

It seemed that the Sea Demon Clan wasn't as difficult to communicate with as they appeared on the surface.

Since the Sea Demon Clan is one of the more fierce intelligent species, they left an impression on Superpower Users of being hard to interact with.

In these two days of contact with High Priestess Sona, Lu Heng found her easier to communicate with than expected.

Perhaps she was special and not as barbaric as other sea demons.

In fact.

As long as the Sea Demon Clan can see the situation clearly, they should understand that reconciliation with the Black Iron Dwarves and jointly finding a way to resolve the crisis is the most beneficial choice for the development of the race.

Letting emotions dictate decisions is not what a qualified ruler should do.

In order to clarify the Sea Demon Clan's demands, Lu Heng asked again: "Is there only one request? Anything else?"

High Priestess Sona thought for a moment and replied, "We have no territorial conflict with the Black Iron Dwarves, so there's no need for a dispute. As long as the Black Iron Dwarves stop dumping volcanic ash into the sea, everything else can be negotiated."

She didn't close the conversation, after all, it was just a proposal, and the Black Iron Dwarves might not agree.

Lu Heng thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I will take the Sea Demon Clan's request to the Dwarf King of the Copper Furnace Kingdom. However, I have a request..."

High Priestess Sona narrowed her eyes slightly, directly looking at Lu Heng's eyes, and asked calmly, "What request?"

"I hope you can let me take Captain Friggs to the Copper Furnace Kingdom. I am here to help mediate the conflict between the two races, and if I can bring Friggs back, it would greatly aid the negotiations. If Friggs dies, it will only exacerbate the conflict between the two races." Lu Heng intended to save that Black Iron Dwarf captain once.

High Priestess Sona fell into contemplation and did not immediately agree.

She understood what Lu Heng meant and knew that letting Friggs go back could ease relations with the Black Iron Dwarves.

However, it was not easy for the Sea Demon Clan to capture a Black Iron Dwarf captain, and letting him go would certainly lead to many voices of opposition among the sea demons in the clan.

Lu Heng saw through her thoughts and continued to say: "Killing Friggs will only vent anger for the Sea Demon Clan but won't help solve the problem in a positive way.

"After all, Friggs is just a captain of the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom and can't decide the fate of the two races.

"The High Priestess should understand why the Summoner appeared here. One of my tasks is to eliminate the Abyss Pollution Source.

"This means there is an Abyss Pollution Source about to erupt in this world, which is the event that will affect the fate of the Sea Demon Clan.

"If you give Friggs to me to take away, I will go to the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom to mediate the relationship between the two races as much as possible.

"Then you can focus all your time on finding the Abyss Pollution Source.

"This is the way to solve the problem, not just relying on emotions to make decisions, I think the High Priestess should be able to understand this reasoning."

High Priestess Sona sighed and nodded in acknowledgment: "I have to say, you always manage to convince me, even if I am very reluctant, but for the sake of the race's future, this is indeed the best choice.

"You can take Friggs away, I will figure out how to handle the opposing voices in the Sea Demon Clan.

"I hope you can accomplish what you promised, I won't easily trust a Summoner, especially not a species I have met for the first time.

"You are an exception, maybe because your goal happens to align with mine, so I hope you can succeed."

"I will do my best." Lu Heng didn't brag, whether he can reconcile the two races is still unknown.

Currently, he is unaware of the situation in the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom and will only know if this matter can be successful by going there himself.

...

The next day.

In the Sea Demon Clan's sea prison, Friggs woke up and began to bang the iron door with chains and curse the sea demons again.

He had been locked up for two days, with his feet soaking in seawater for so long that they began to itch and swell.

Although it's not yet unbearable, it still made him very irritable.

After cursing for a while, a group of sea demon warriors came in, opened the iron door, and dragged him out of the sea prison.

"What are you doing? Are you going to kill me? Let me tell you legless creatures, even if you chop off my head, I won't fear you!"

This group of sea demon warriors ignored Friggs' shouting and dragged him to the sea prison's gate, grabbed a handful of Fish Gills Grass, pried open his mouth, and stuffed it in.

Then, dragging him, they plunged through the water curtain and swam towards the sea surface.

After entering the seawater, Friggs finally stopped making noise because if he opened his mouth, he would choke and be unable to speak, so he had to keep it shut.

The sea demon warriors dragged Friggs all the way to the sea surface, onto a reef.

The reef was more than ten meters wide, with waves crashing against it, creating bursts of spray.

The thirteen people led by Lu Heng were already waiting on the reef; Xu Jitong, Cai Jinhong, and the others had arrived last night to regroup, so now all thirteen were gathered.

In this summon, the thirteen people were divided into three groups and teleported to different locations.

A little analysis will reveal the teleportation pattern.

Among them, Liu Haiyang and six others, who are the strongest Ocean System Warriors in the current human world, were teleported closest to the rampaging sea beasts, having to fight them as soon as they appeared to assist the Sea Demon Clan.

Lu Heng's team of four had strong combat power, but lacked Ocean System Skills, so they couldn't utilize their full strength in the water, and were therefore teleported into the Fry, allowing them to breathe air at the start at least.
