Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Belonging to the Sea-dwelling Species, the city was submerged under the sea.

For ordinary Sea-dwelling Species, coming and going was quite simple, but for regular people living on land, entering and exiting there wasn’t an easy task.

While browsing Shell Sea Yacht, Yang Yu occasionally saw some square-shaped pools.

These pools were connected to the vast sea and served as entrances to Reflection City.

Early in the morning, Sea-dwelling Species continuously crawled out from the pools to do business at the port.

The pool where Yang Yu and Lang Yi agreed to meet was quite far from the city center, and hardly any Sea-dwelling Species were seen crawling out of it.

With his foot rhythmically tapping on the wooden floor, bubbles gurgled from the pool’s surface as Lang Yi, like a Water Otter, half-emerged from the pool,

”Very punctual.

Last night, we just arrived here.

With much persuasion, I managed to have our leader detour around Shell Sea Yacht and temporarily stay in Reflection City.

Right now, that guy hasn’t woken up yet, and I’ve asked Jiao Xi to keep an eye on her.

To avoid any unexpected incidents, we must hurry up and finish our business.

Use this thing and come down with me!”

Lang Yi threw with effort, tossing a bottle, about the size of an oral liquid, to Yang Yu.

”Grip it tightly, infuse it with Magic Power, or casually use a skill to make this thing create a Floating Bubble, allowing you to move freely in the water.”

Yang Yu glanced at the bottle briefly, then, as Lang Yi requested, tightly gripped the bottle the size of an oral liquid, and unleashed [Shadow Power].

Instantly, a blue Light Shield burst out from the bottle, enveloping Yang Yu.

”This bubble will follow you, just keep moving.

Underwater, you can control the bubble’s movement with your own mind.

A word of caution, don’t expect this bubble to protect you.

For regular people, this bubble is quite sturdy, but to adventurers of A-level, it’s too fragile.

I also considered the possibility of underwater attacks.

Follow me.

Later, I’ll introduce you to some useful tools and items to ensure you’re not always in a Passive state during underwater battles.”

”Thank you for the trouble.”

Responding simply, Yang Yu followed the stairs into the pool.

The water rose along the edge of the bubble, immersing the bubble in which Yang Yu resided.

Yang Yu tried manipulating the Floating Bubble multiple times and quickly became familiar with the method of control, slowly descending with Lang Yi.

At first, the seawater was murky, making it difficult to see ahead, only faintly perceiving something glowing underwater.

As Lang Yi descended step by step, Yang Yu could clearly see those lights were orderly placed Magic Lamps, illuminating a path through the murky seawater.

Looking around the opaque seawater, Yang Yu could see faint lights emanating from other places as well; all those with lamps were roads leading to Reflection City.

As he swam along, the light suddenly stopped, and Yang Yu seemed to see a massive bubble within the somewhat murky seawater, containing a grayish city.

Lang Yi did not pause but continued to lead Yang Yu forward, and the murky seawater gradually became clear.

Streaks of black shadows were cast down from above the sea, occasional splashes were heard from overhead, as Yang Yu looked up, he saw busy Water-dwelling Species sailors at work.

The black shadows came from ships resting on the sea surface; unknowingly, Yang Yu and his companions had reached the dock, occasionally seeing anchors rising and falling.

Lang Yi warned: ”Be careful. This is the ship berthing area, quite dangerous; ordinary people generally don’t come through here.

Originally, we could have continued descending from where the lights disappeared to reach the normal residential area of Reflection City, and then proceeding through the residential area would lead us to our destination.

The shape of Reflection City resembles an irregular tilted ring, with one half in Shell Sea Yacht and the other in the pure sea.

The space in between is the dangerous berthing area.

The place we’re headed is in a slightly deeper sea area.

Moving along the ’ring’ takes too much time, so I brought you for a shortcut.”

As Lang Yi spoke, he continued leading Yang Yu forward until a vast array of coral reefs appeared before them, with sunlight filtering through the seawater, shining on the corals, where various cute creatures frolicked and played.

Suddenly, a city encased in a bubble appeared in the center of the coral reef, like a huge pipe running through it.

The inhabitants under Reflection City in Shell Sea Yacht are impoverished civilians.

Whereas, those near the sea in Reflection City are mostly wealthy, monopolizing some key resources and services, possessing technology comparable to Land Species.

Near the bubble, several mermaid-like Sea-dwelling Species quickly swam towards Yang Yu and his companions.

Lang Yi swam over to communicate briefly, spending some money to grease the wheels, and the guards of Reflection City then actively led Yang Yu and his companions into Reflection City.

Lang Yi went straight through the bubble, while under the guidance of the guards, Yang Yu’s small bubble connected with the large bubble of Reflection City.

The roads of Reflection City were constructed from large white stone slabs, with beautiful, ocean-themed buildings blossoming everywhere. Various Sea-dwelling Species gathered in this underwater city, with bustling streets rivaling any country on land.

After spending some more money, the city entry permit was processed, and Lang Yi led Yang Yu down the main road of Reflection City:

”Stay close.

I’ll first show you how to use the navigation service, and then take you to find the person we’re looking for.

Contacting her took quite a bit of effort.

To wait for you, she even postponed some work.

Therefore, the cost of hiring her might be higher than you anticipated.

But don’t worry about her overcharging you just because you’re outsiders; she’s a trustworthy person.”

”I’ve gained some understanding of navigation services from the giant dragon.

Show me how they provide the service, and then directly take me to the person.

Or, introduce me to some tools that land animals like me can use effectively in the sea, first!”

Lang Yi nodded, ”Alright, let’s take a look.”

Browsing the streets of Reflection City, Yang Yu couldn’t help but exclaim:

”Honestly, I didn’t expect the city to be like this.

I thought the city would be filled with water everywhere.”

Lang Yi briefly explained one reason the city wasn’t completely flooded:

”Many Sea-dwelling Species still prefer cooked food, and cooking in the ocean is quite troublesome.

Instead of developing Special underwater cooking Magic, it’s better to construct a long-lasting city with bubbles.

There are various other reasons, which I won’t elaborate on here.

The accumulation of all these complex factors has created the current Reflection City.

Every place isn’t perfect, but neither is any place too bad.”
