The Bored Immortal

Chapter 408 A Determined Seraphina

"W-What?!! Is that myth really true?" One of the women in the hall excitedly shouted her question.

"Oh my god. I can deal with my enemies by just using my voice, and they wouldn't even realize it until it's too late, haha."

"Pfft. Who said you would even get it in the first place? You surely won't be able to afford such an 'item. I will be the one ripping her throat out any time soon, hehe.'"

"Wait, wait. If the special thing about her is only the crystal, why not just cut it out and offer it here instead of letting the buyer deal with such cumbersome things?" One of them asked since he was terrified of the idea of having to deal with the Siren Queen in case he buys her.

Narin gave an apologetic smile as she said, "I am sorry. It is not that the union is trying to make things difficult for our general patrons, but it is impossible to gain the power of her voice if we extracted the crystal beforehand. You have to assimilate the crystal within a minute of it leaving her body. Otherwise, it would become useless. So that also means she absolutely cannot die until it is done. Otherwise, would she have stayed alive after everything she had done? Absolutely not."

"Control any living being? What is she talking about?" Viktor asked Seraphina in a confused tone. He knew that sirens could use their voices to charm people and sabotage their minds, but he didn't understand how someone of another race gained the same ability.

He knew that if Sirens had the ability to walk on ground, they would be ten times more dangerous. Of course, they can transform their lower half into human legs, but they sacrifice the ability to use their powers in doing so.

So he could only imagine the damage if one of these deranged demons suddenly gained the power of a siren's voice.

Seraphina had a sympathetic expression looking at the siren queen lying in such a pitiful state and hearing how she was going to be sold off only to have her throat ripped out soon.

However, she heard Viktor's question and answered, "I…I am not fully sure, but the crystal she is talking about is her vital Odic source in crystallized form. Other sirens also have it, but it wouldn't be in a pure and powerful condensed form like the one she must have. How horrible…she doesn't deserve to have her fate turn out like this."

Viktor sighed as he said, "I know it's bad, but…this is how it is. I don't think anybody can save her. Not even her own people since they can't walk on land."

If this siren queen was someone who would slaughter people for no reason, Viktor wouldn't have felt any pity for her. But Seraphina was telling him that the people of this town had the wrong idea about sirens and that she could feel it, making Viktor feel a bit confused, not knowing what to think.

Most of the people in this town consider the sirens and their queen to be flesh-eating monsters who would have invaded their town to even devour babies and children if not for their inability to walk.

"If nobody can save her, then I will," Seraphina said as she firmly pressed her lips together, unable to keep watching such a sight.

Viktor didn't know if this was Seraphina trying to be herself or because the sirens belonged to the spirit family just like her, which might have made her feel even more emotional.

But he had no choice but to hold her wrist and say, "Sera, what the hell are you talking about? Did you forget why and where we are? Forget about saving her, your realm and your daughters are in danger. Don't you want to save them first?"

Viktor had no idea how Seraphina was planning to save the siren queen. Of course, if Seraphina uses all her efforts, she could probably save the Siren Queen but not without causing a huge ruckus here, and that would surely end up jeopardizing their plans to get back the Fruit of Youth. Viktor really couldn't understand her thought process and felt that her kindness was clouding her mind.

Seraphina looked at Viktor and nodded with a soft smile, "I know. But don't worry, I will try to do both…without having to use my powers."

Viktor raised his brows, feeling that she was onto something and asked, "What do you mean? If you don't use powers then…"

"We use this," Seraphina slowly took out a shiny blue stone, though Viktor had no idea what kind of stone it was even if it seemed special. He could feel a profound energy of odic force emanating from that small stone, making him feel that he had never felt such a large amount of odic energy emanating from such a small object.

Even if Viktor was an amateur in these things, he could tell that this was quite a treasure and didn't have to ask where Seraphina got it from.

But he understood what she was hinting at and asked, "So you want us to buy her? That is how you plan to save her? But what about after that? What are we going to do with her? If we let her off too early, people will learn that we just let loose the most wanted person in town, and then they will come after us."

Seraphina nodded with a complicated expression as she said, "I know. That is why I want to ask if we can both look after her till we leave this place? We can let her go the moment we leave this realm. I am sorry I am asking you this. I just don't know any other way."

Viktor patted her hand as he said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. Since you badly want to help her, we can do it. Simply looking after her won't be an issue to our plan."

"Thank you…really…" Seraphina said with a soft smile, feeling grateful that he agreed for her sake.

"700,000 Greater Odic Coins? Is that the final bid? Nobody else wants to contest, hm?" Narin asked as she scanned the hall with her eyes.

"I will be the one buying her."

Narin raised her brows when she saw an unexpected person raise his hand.
