The girl hesitated at the shore of the Black Lake, unsure whether to continue exploring this corrupted lake.

However, what the Hero was unaware of was that, during the brief and intense battle, a large amount of her and the Siren Princess’s Magic Power remained in the lake.

After the shackles of the Witch’s Ghost were gone, the surrounding rock layers would be corroded by the residual corrupt Magic Power, and the Underground Lake would gradually expand, eventually connecting with the nearby Underground River, bringing fresh water and other aquatic life forms.

When the corrupt Magic Power naturally purifies, the Magic Creatures living underground will be drawn by the pure Magic Power, creating new passages to reach here, while amphibious Magic Creatures will bring seeds of underwater plants along these paths to the lake.

This stagnant water will soon thrive with life, nurturing more beings.

Eventually, on those once-silent relics, new sirens inheriting their Magic Power will be born.

By then, this lake hidden deep underground will become the center of this region.

And the grown-up Little Mermaid may wonder why she despises those green-skinned surface dwellers from birth.

Even if she cannot understand, the Magic Creatures that received the lake’s blessing will surely extend a warm welcome to the nearby Goblins.

The successors inherit the legacy of their predecessors and continue to forge ahead.

Death is not the end; the cycle of life brings rebirth.

Such is the law of Nature.

[Special Map: Little Mermaid’s Underground Lake LV29]

Not now, but perhaps that’s how it may evolve in the future.

An underground area discovered unintentionally by an Adventurer who got lost in the jungle.

The cave walls are covered with glowing moss, and the lake is home to many bioluminescent aquatic plants, with splendid aquatic flowers blooming on the surface.

The crystal-clear lake water reflects phosphorescence, the fish swim as if soaring through light, and clusters of flowers bloom profusely on the water—a secret and exquisitely beautiful scene.

Although the lake is also inhabited by many Magic Creatures, they do not actively attack humankind and belong to the truce zone in the forest.

After evaluation, it was classified as an Intermediate danger zone. However, since it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the Underground Lake or collect materials there, it has somewhat become a sightseeing spot for Adventurers.

It is said that deep in the lake waters dwells the lovely Little Mermaid. Although no one has witnessed her shape, occasionally beautiful singing can be heard coming from the center of the lake.

If an Adventurer invites someone they fancy to confess at the lake shore, she will joyfully sing praises for you, and if the confession fails, she will also comfort your sorrow with a plaintive and gentle song.

Should conflicts arise on the lake shore, she will anxiously sing soft songs, trying to soothe the anger of both parties, and will direct the Magic Creatures to quell the fight.

Yet, for some reason, Goblins approaching are immediately driven away by the creatures living here, or even killed on the spot.

As rumors spread, visitors dreaming of becoming the Prince in fairy tales streamed ceaselessly.

Soon after, the Church took this area under its control. The specific reasons were not disclosed, although it remains open for visitation, multiple procedures and reservations are required.

Daydreaming Adventurer: "Little Mermaid, heh, Little Mermaid..."

It is said that said Adventurer was later anonymously beaten by Church personnel, and the reasons were not disclosed either.

→☆→☆→☆→✧←★←★←★←

As of now, not knowing how this lake water will change in the future, the Hero vigilantly watches over the still-lingering scent of decay of the Black Lake.

Even the Gleaming Scale Serpent staying by the lake for a while did not get used to it, but instead made uncomfortable hissing sounds.

If a normal young girl, no, rather, any person who lives a sanitary life could probably flee from the vast expanse of the Black Lake.

While fundamentally the stench is not from bacteria, garbage, or rotting organisms, it is merely a deposit of Magic Power contaminated by the Witch’s Ghost, which given time will naturally purify.

However, its noxiousness and irritation could be even more intense than mere filth.

Of course, the Hero is not unsanitary.

If possible, she too wouldn’t want to delve into this Black Lake.

But her vocal cords remain silent; having come all this way, is she supposed to return empty-handed?

The Hero’s rationality tells her that this resting place for the Witch’s Ghost, the burial ground of the Siren Princess, might conceal something precious.

And now, it is still a while before dawn, and her Magic Power is also in surplus.

Therefore, she reached the undeniable conclusion, and the young girl widened her blue eyes with a valiant expression, the snake-shaped hair ornament swaying slightly by her cheeks, as if in admiration of her courage.

’Alright, let’s go!’

She signaled to the lake waters to part, and also called upon the Gleaming Scale Serpent to step into the lake together.

Although she could no longer use the form of the Serpent Queen of the Woodlands to perform Water Element Manipulation, the Hero could still transform into the Bubble Princess.

The Witch’s Ghost has already been defeated by her, and it doesn’t seem like there would be any other Magic Creatures in this Underground Lake.

Under such circumstances, this Transformation with lower Magic Consumption is undoubtedly more suitable for searching.

[Hero’s exploration of the Black Lake (Bubble Princess Perception 51, Intelligence 60, and the assistance of Gleaming Scale Serpent d40)] D100+51+d60+d40=d100(63)+51+d60(39)+d40(33)=186

Note: Regardless of the discovery, the Hero would not desecrate the Siren Princess’s relics, thus cannot obtain the Siren Princess’s voice. Under 100 means no discoveries.
