"Scared silly?" After landing, Asta couldn't help but laugh when he saw Noelle still staring at him blankly.
"You're the one who's silly!" Noelle quickly jumped out of Asta's arms.
"Ahhh, my princess carry!" Finral was in tears. Another one of his dreams had been realized by Asta. He also really wanted to hold a Princess!
"How unexpected. There's actually ground here!" Vanessa laughed after landing.
"Hooray, we've arrived safely!" Magna's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.
"Damn it, the magical interference here is too strong. I still can't contact Marie!" After landing, Gauche's primary concern was still his younger sister.
"Hahaha, Magna really was scared. Look at me, I don't have such sentiments at all!" Luck seized the opportunity and began to mock him.
"You're talking nonsense! I'm a dignified man, I fear nothing!" Magna immediately started jumping in anger.
"Alright, everyone, keep moving forward!" Yami took a deep drag on his cigarette and said.
"Yes, Captain!" The group obediently followed Yami forward.
Soon, everyone saw a glittering area.
"That must be the Underwater Temple!" Charmy pointed excitedly.
"Should be it!" Yami said.
"Let's go!" Charmy excitedly enlarged her sheep cloud, which carried everyone toward the entrance like a giant white cloud.
"Something seems a bit off. Isn't this a Strong Magic Zone? How come there's no danger at all?" Luck said regretfully.
"Isn't that better!" Magna couldn't help but curse.
"As one of the dangerous zones, our progress has indeed been too smooth," Vanessa said.
"Asta, do you see any danger?" Noelle asked, seeing that Asta was still using his Sharingan.
"No, it's very calm." Asta shook his head.
Soon, everyone reached the vicinity of the Underwater Temple, and residents even began to appear around them!
Chapter 196: Hospitable?!
"Are these the people living under the sea? They don't seem any different from us people on the surface!" Everyone couldn't help but comment.
While Asta's group discovered the underwater residents, the people of the Underwater Temple also discovered Asta and the others. They gathered around, their curiosity no less than that of Asta's group.
"It's people from the outside!"
"How rare. It's been a long time since any outsiders have come in!~"
"They all look so young, and they look very kind too!"
"Look, they're even wearing Magic Knight Squad capes!" The residents of the Underwater Temple discussed amongst themselves.
"Captain, they actually know about the Magic Knight Squad?" Finral was shocked.
"Isn't that obvious? It's not like they're completely cut off from communication!" Yami rolled his eyes.
"Will these residents attack us?" Luck was eager to try.
"Hey, little one, tell us some interesting things about the outside world!" A female resident boldly walked up to Charmy.
"You're so small, what kind of missions have you completed?" a male resident asked curiously.
"I've completed many missions. Instead, tell me what kind of delicacies you have under the sea!" Charmy asked back.
"Haha, so cute. We have plenty of delicacies under the sea too!" the male resident laughed.
"It seems like everyone is non-aggressive!" Noelle blinked her eyes.
"So where is the danger?" Asta frowned. Although everything looked peaceful now, they still couldn't let their guard down.
"Reality often differs greatly from imagination. Perhaps all the dangers of the Underwater Temple were on the outside!" Yami blew out a puff of smoke.
"Anyway, let's find the Magic Stone first!" Vanessa reminded.
"That's true!" Yami finally remembered the mission, then said with a cold face, "If you don't want to die, then get your leader out here immediately!"
"(?｀?Д?′)!!"
"Captain Yami, can't you be a bit more gentle!" Everyone was shocked.
"I get it. You must be looking for the High Priest!" A resident of the Underwater Temple was very quick on the uptake.
"Then where is the High Priest?" Yami asked.
"The High Priest is always in the temple. Just head up!" an underwater resident said, also sounding fierce.
"Tch!" Yami curled his lip and led the team up the stairs toward the top.
Along the way, the underwater residents enthusiastically surrounded Asta and the others. Some bold ones even stepped forward to interact, which made Finral incredibly happy.
"There are so many underwater beauties here, and they all seem so innocent. Does this mean I can finally find a girlfriend?" Finral was beyond excited, but as he spoke, the topic of these girls somehow shifted to Asta.
