Leeanne stood up and spotted a mermaid just a short distance from the rat.

The mermaid was breathtaking, provably in her thirties, with slender, upturned eyes, far skin, and stunning Satures

Her long, pale blue hair and matching tail flowed freely, a golden crown resting on her head and a gold serace fing around her neck.

She was seated atop a massive pearl, draped in a sheer golden cape. Half of the cape was gathered on the part while the other half trailed into the water, shimmering with golden light.

She also held a golden staff in her hand.

Dazzling golden light flooded everything

Leeanne pulled up her profile: [Mermaid Queen, Rosalind Aquilar: Level?]

Mermaid Queen? Leeanne wondered. Could she be the mother of the prince and the little mermaid?

Leeanne hurried over, closing the distance.

The stunning mermaid kept a soft smile on her lips, looking regal and radiant. She practically glowed with beauty and majesty.

Rosalind said, “Hey there, sweet adventurer, would you help me out?”

Leeanne replied, “Sure!”

Of course it’s a quest. What’s the harm? she thought. Maybe she’s searching for her kids. If that’s the case Elvis and Mila to her

Leeanne was lost in thought, sitting on the beanbag chair, staring off into space.

Snowy, Fluffy, and Little Blue, on the other hand, were full of energy. They’d fallen in love with the surfboards and were taking turns trying them out.

Leeanne was getting sleepy when suddenly, the sea demon vine waved its tendrils and called out, “Master, look! A mermaid. a beautiful mermaid, and an even bigger, gorgeous mermaid!”

Leeanne stood up and spotted a mermaid just a short distance from the raft.

The mermaid was breathtaking, probably in her thirties, with slender, upturned eyes, fair skin, and stunning features.

Her long, pale blue hair and matching tail flowed freely, a golden crown resting on her head and a gold necklace glinting

around her neck.

This quest is amazing. If I fail, there’s no penalty, and if I succeed, I get the Mermaid Crown.

Mermaids are insanely powerful. Even half their abilities would make me a total legend in this game. This is basically free

Hold on, what even is an evil mermaid? Just how strong are these evil mermaids? I don’t know anything about them.

She quickly asked, “How can I identify, track down, and defeat an evil mermaid? What makes them different from the others?”

Rosalind smiled. “I’ve got a guidebook here that covers everything you need to know. So, adventurer, are you ready to acce the quest?”

Leeanne hesitated for a moment. This was the first quest she ever felt unsure about.

After thinking it over, Leeanne asked, “Your Grace, there’s this ghost that shows up late at night and kills people. Is it somehow connected to the evil mermaids?”

Rosalind smiled. “I’ve got a guidebook here that covers everything you need to know. So, adventurer, are you ready to acce the quest?”

Chapter 274

Inside the guidebook, Leeanne came across a pale blue mermaid scale and a tiny seashell.

The scale was a soft blue, roughly half the size of her palm, and the seashell was just a tiny one.

She checked out the descriptions for both items.

[Mermaid Queen’s Scale: A scale shed by the Mermaid Queen. It can block one fatal blow.]

RIV

[Mermaid Palace Teleport Seashell: Crush this seashell to teleport straight to the Mermaid Palace. It’s best to slay an evil mermaid and bring the corpse along. Otherwise, the palace guards will throw you out.]

Leeanne finally got it. Rosalind wanted her to take out the evil mermaids, but in case she couldn’t handle it, she gave her a scale that could save her from a deadly hit.

Plus, she handed over a teleport seashell so Leeanne could jump straight to the Mermaid Palace. Talk about being thorough

‘But if Rosalind is so strong, why doesn’t she just deal with the evil mermaids herself? Is she just letting us players have a chance on purpose?‘ Leeanne wondered.

Leeanne flipped through the guidebook a few more times, then something clicked. She quickly opened up the chat channel

The chat was blowing up. Looks like a bunch of people got the quest, not just her.

[I just met the Mermaid Queen! Her aura was insane, I totally froze up.]

were just five or six active quest–takers talking about it in the channel.

hey received exactly the same items as Leeanne, and even Rosalind said exactly the same thing to each of them.

Plus, they all received the quest simultaneously.

Players thought it was pretty weird. After chatting, they realized all the quest–takers were heavy hitters, the kind everyone

knew in the zone.

So, everyone fed out the Mermaid Queen only gave the quest to the strongest players.
