The old man had tears in his eyes as he replied, "That's right. The merfolk caused the flood. Merfolk are brutal in nature, and they wanted to take over this place.
The old man sighed as he spoke as if he was reliving those old memories again. He fell silent for a while, then he said, "If I knew about the secret of the merfolk back then, I think the people of Gelsa wouldn't have died. Jenny wouldn't need to die either. It's a shame that it's all too late now. Jenny won't come back to life again, and I'll never leave Gelsa."
Wilbur could understand the old man. The flood was a traumatic moment in his heart, after all. Regardless of who caused it, the people of Gelsa were dead and injured in the end. The whole town was submerged. It was a deep trauma that the old man could not let go of even after decades had passed.
"I once swore that no one would know my name again, so I didn't tell you when you asked my name. In fact, the merfolk had been living under Gelsa Lake after Gelsa was submerged. It's as you expected. Gelsa has been enveloped by a mysterious power. The grass and trees are very sturdy. You've been living here for more than a month with me, drinking soup made from the fish here. As a result, your body has also grown stronger."
Wilbur nodded and said, "Indeed. At first, I thought you were fooling me, but my body has changed a lot since then. My strength has doubled. This is something I wouldn't dare to imagine in the past."
"There are a lot of things beyond your imagination in this world. According to what I know, Gelsa isn't the only place enveloped by a mysterious power, but of course, let's just talk about Gelsa for now."
Wilbur got the reminder from the old man, so he continued to ask, "I know of your story now, sir, but does it have anything to do with the eighth dragon cauldron?"
