"I honestly don't know what's happening . How about this? I will be going to report it to the Ancient Domains of Mystery . For the meantime, you lead your group back to the Magus Academia . On my behalf, please tell Schoolmaster Yin not to allow students to accept any mission related to Echurid until everything is settled . "

"But what about my pet? She got injured! How can we cure her????:

Long Yue shouted in disbelief . He thought that he could get some help from the guardian but it seemed that he was too naive to even think of it .

"Ahh????? My apologies . But regarding that, I guess you will have to ask your schoolmaster . I'm not a sorceress, I don't know magic and I also don't have any magic powers .

I'm just a normal merfolk . My specie's talent lies in singing and beguiling others through our voices . Do you want me to sing for you instead???"

It's not that Arva didn't want to help them . The problem was that she does not have the means to do so . She was chosen to be the guardian of the entrance of Echurid for only one reason .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

She was a mermaid, and she was good at swimming . Since the entrance to the land of Echurid lies underwater, there is no other race more suitable for the job than a merfolk .

"Forget about it . Just bring us out of here . "

Fan Lei waved his hands when he saw that Arva was sporting a troubled face, looking like her dilemma was if she should sing for the group or not .

Since everyone in the group could no longer cast a single spell due to mana depletion, Arva handed each of them something that seemed like a pearl . It has a color of amethyst and it was relatively smaller in size, looking only as big as a fingernail .

"That is a mermaid's tear . It can help you breathe underwater for a limited period of time . As long as you swallow one it should last you enough to reach the underwater mirror gate . "

The group did not hesitate to swallow the pearl-like object . As soon as they put the mermaid's tears inside their mouths, the pearl-like object immediately melted, causing a salty taste to overwhelm their taste buds .

"Come on, lets go . "

As soon as she saw that the group swallowed their mermaid's tears, Arva beckoned on them . After that, they dove into the water once again .

After another couple of minutes or so, the group arrived at the place where they first met Arva . It was the edge of the Luminous Mountain Valley .

Right on the other end of this valley, they have to look for the port leading to their school and enter from there .

With their prior experience and knowledge about the terrain of Luminous Mountain Valley, the group finds venturing into the place relatively easier that their first time there .  

They did not meet any mishaps and they managed to arrive at their destination much faster than expected .

When they arrived at the place the teleportation site from the school originally led them to, Chan Gu then whipped out a palm-sized object .

It looked like something that has a whirlpool of water inside it and its color is blue-green .

"What is that???"

Mu Lingxi asked in curiosity .

"This is the Nexus Portal, it will help us to locate the port leading to the Magus Academia . Since we have been teleported here, then the port should be somewhere near . "

Chan Gu answered as he bit his finger . Blood trickled down from the bitten skin, dropping and mixing with the water inside the Portal Nexus .

"It's great that Chan Gu and Yun Xue insisted on buying this Portal Nexus despite its sky-high price . They even ended up splitting the payment just to buy it . "

Back when they were looking for useful artifacts to buy from Majika, the moment Long Fuzi saw this Nexus Portal, he already wanted to buy it . But Chan Gu and Yun Xue insisted that they should be the ones to pay because they want to contribute something .

Most of the expenses for the artifacts needed in the mission were taken care of by the two Long siblings .

But since they were doing the mission as a group, Chan Gu and And Yu Xue felt that they need to contribute something at least . Thus they insisted on paying for that Nexus Portal .

Most of the artifacts were bought by the Long brothers . Yet in the end, they failed to use a single artifact that they bought . It was this Portal Nexus instead that proves to be useful in the last part of the mission .

After Chan Gu's blood fell into the whirlpool of water inside the Nexus Portal, he flipped it clockwise and when the water inside turned tranquil again, an image of a place showed up in it .

"The port should be in this place, let's look for it . "
