Lola was already being pressured by these Sea Creatures and she knows that her city wouldn't last for long if the enemies decided to just send out their forces to invade them all at once.
In the end, she thought of communicating with the Sea King and reaching an agreement with it just like what the members of the Star Garden Peak have done.
Perhaps they can tell me to invade a different plot of land instead of starting on their city. She can even offer her help to conquer some other land if necessary just to make them stop.
However, she had to visit the Underwater City of this race in order to do that. The problem is that they have no way of breathing underwater just like what the members of the Star Garden Peak did.
They don't even have a Magic Artifact that could help them move in the water.
Of course, they have the Water Treading Steps but this technique only allows them to move on the surface of the water… They also have a few magicians who had mastered the Water Element but they were still unable to dive deep under the water and stay there for a long period of time.
Luckily, she was recently contacted by the eldest disciple of the Tower Lord and was informed about the vessel they have created that can be used to fly in the sky and dive underwater.
Using this ship, they would be able to find a way to contact the Sea King as long as they can protect it from the sea creatures.
"Yulia, have you contacted Vincent's Celestials? I only need the help of those with Celestial Armor since they're the only ones who can protect the ship." Lola said to the veiled Yulia after finding her near the construction site.
"Yes… They will be sending Celestial Tara and Number 778 for this task." Yulia replied as she looked at Lola was dressed like a soldier instead of a magician. She doesn't seem to be fond of the Magician Robes.
"Hmm? 778? A new Numbered Celestial?" Lola asked in surprise.
"That's right… It seems that Vincent managed to find a few other Celestials before he isolated himself in his residence."
"That sounds great!"
Lola was contented with this since she can only mobilize two unnumbered Celestials with Celestial Armor.
It's really a good thing to have reliable fellow disciples that she could always depend on.
"Regarding the other thing we've talked about… Do you have someone in mind we can send to join the team?" Lola asked referring to the team that will be sent to the Peak.
They were troubled about the fact that they don't know anything about the Star Garden Peak's real plan.
In the end, Lola thought of sending a few people to confront the Star Garden Peak directly. They would send a group of reliable Magicians who will be bringing the recorded testimony of the Sea Race as a piece of evidence.
They must be strong magicians who are capable of protecting themselves since that place is unknown to them. They preferred those with incredible movement skills that can help them escape in case those people decided to stop them from leaving. This is not an easy decision since they might be sending their people to death but they have to confront the Star Garden Peak sooner or later.
Furthermore, Lola has recently purchased a specialized flying vessel and she thought of using this aircraft to send people to that mysterious organization.
It was such a perfect time.
This flying vessel is like a small flying fortress that cost over ten million Mana Crystals and Lola believed that it would be difficult for the Star Garden Peak to stop it if they don't have anti-aircraft artilleries.
It can carry a total of 18 people and she only has ten people that she could recommend so she asked Vincent or Yulia's help regarding this. In exchange, she offered them limited access to two of her Dungeons that are providing her endless resources like…
"I already have a few people in mind… However, I still have to speak with them. If possible, I even want to wait for Vincent's opinion. If I'm not mistaken, he's really interested in this organization and he might even join the team himself."
"What? Isn't that dangerous? We can't send him there as well. We don't even know if that cult sees humans as its enemies." Lola said as she shook her head to reject this idea.
Vincent is just too important for Vera City. If the Star Garden Peak turned out to be their true enemy, it would be very dangerous for them once Vincent got captured.
That could be the territory of the enemy after all. Even if he brings all the contracted Celestials with him, the Peak would obviously have them as well.
"Don't worry too much about Vincent. He has many tricks with him. Furthermore, I believe that once he finishes this isolation, his eyesight would've returned already. I'm sure we will be seeing a completely different Vincent at that time."
Yulia said with a hint of excitement.
Lola thought for a moment and realized that Yulia's words makes sense indeed. She already heard the backstory of Vincent's blindness so she knows that it was related to the goddess or deity of his city.
Getting his eyes back may really get him stronger.
"Ugh… Alright… Let's just wait for Vincent… When is he going to end his seclusion anyway? I heard that your supplies are also running out."
"Maybe in just a few more days. In any case, we should still have enough supplies until he comes out..."
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~
As Yulia finished speaking, they heard the bells being sounded by the soldiers from the watchtower. This means that their city is under attack by the Sea Race again!
Yulia and Lola looked at each other with helpless smiles on their faces before they separated to get into their station.
"I hope that today's battle can end as quickly as possible…" Yulia muttered as she saw Severin hurrying over.
