Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 945: Peace Island
Chapter 945: Peace Island
Since we were traveling on the backs of wyverns, it wasn't as if we could just fly right into the territory of the Tide Empire.
The Tide Empire wasn't an empty vase, they would immediately find out if we entered their territory with wyverns. Once they found out, there was no doubt that there would be many consequences for us.
There was no doubt that they would be able to easily find out which country we came from.
The Tide Empire was one of the four empires of the human race, so their information network couldn't be looked down on.
They would certainly be able to find us and take revenge for flying our wyverns into their territory.
Though the territory of the kingdoms around the Tide Empire was a different story.
It was because the kingdoms that were around the Tide Empire were nothing more than cannon fodder in the first place. They were the first kingdoms that the Tide Empire had subdued as vassal kingdoms, but they hadn't taken these kingdoms into their fold for a reason.
The Tide Empire was completely surrounded by these vassal kingdoms for a reason.
It was because these vassal kingdoms were used as shields by the Tide Empire.
That was the only reason why they still existed.
Of course, since their only function was as a shield, they had been weakened by the Tide Empire to the point where they could barely function as a kingdom. They naturally didn't have the capability to track as when we arrived in their kingdom.
Using this kingdom, we were able to make it to the ocean and then it was a matter of flying to the island that was in the middle of the ocean that Ariel pointed out.
This island was far enough from the Tide Empire that they wouldn't send anyone to watch over it.
According to Ariel, other than the times that it was in use, it was mostly abandoned.
Only by being abandoned would it not attract any attention at all, so that others wouldn't notice it.
When we arrived in the vicinity of the island, we couldn't help being surprised by it. First, there was the surprise that came from the fact that there actually was an island.
It wasn't on the map, so of course we were skeptical of its existence.
Second, we were surprised by the appearance of the island.
The island didn't seem like an island that was used for peace talks, but rather it seemed like an island that was abandoned. This seemed like an island that didn't have any facilities that could be used by people.
It seemed like one of those natural islands that formed on the ocean that was completely untouched by people.
So much so that I couldn't help asking Ariel, "Are you sure that this is the place?"
Ariel didn't seem discouraged at all by my words, she didn't even bother to answer as if she didn't hear my words at all. Instead, she just looked at the island for a bit before suddenly reaching into her chest.
All of us were shocked to see her do this and we couldn't help covering our eyes, though it wasn't just me that peeked out from between my fingers to look at her. She was a beautiful red haired girl with a full figure, so it wasn't as if she wasn't attractive at all.
Ariel just ignored all of this as she seemed to dig around in her cleavage for a bit, but then she suddenly pulled something out.
It was a small clam shell that she pulled out.
It was the kind of shell that would normally be on the chest of a mermaid, but she was holding it in her hand like some kind of purse.
That was because this thing was a purse in a sense.
The moment that I saw this, I recognized what this thing was.
It was something that was unique to the mermaids, but it was also similar to something that the elves had.
This was simply the Storage Ring of the mermaids.
This thing was known as the Storage Shell and it had the same function as the Storage Rings of the elves. It created a space inside of the shell that could hold things just like the Storage Rings could.
After pulling out this Storage Shell, Ariel opened it up and dug around inside of the Storage Shell for a bit before pulling something out. It seemed like some kind of token, but looking closely, one could see that it was a sand dollar that had something carved on it.
At the same time, with my sensitivity to mana, I could tell that this wasn't a normal sand dollar.
It seemed that this was some kind of magic item with the mana that was released from this sand dollar.
Ariel pulled this sand dollar out of her Storage Shell and then raised it up in front of her before saying, "In the name of the mermaid princess, reveal yourself."
Right after she said this, it was as if there was some kind of mist that cleared up in front of us. That mist spread out in front of us and soon revealed the true form of the island.
This wasn't an abandoned island at all, but rather a well developed island with many different buildings placed together like some kind of town.
This seemed more like a place that would be used to negotiate between two countries.
It seemed that the creators of this place had put an illusion spell on this island that hid its true appearance. Only when those with the proper items willed it would that illusion array disappear and the true form of the island would show itself.
Once she had cleared out the mist, Ariel gave a satisfied nod before turning to me to say, "Welcome to Peace Island."
Peace Island.
Was it a name that really fit this island where two powerful nations discussed matters that
would decide the fate of smaller countries?
Well, it wasn't my place to comment on this.
