Heath said, “Yes.”

Orinoco was silent for a moment.

Heath raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong? I’m trading according to the principle of equivalent exchange. Is there anything wrong with that?”

He had not heard that trading with Nami was forbidden. Otherwise, he would not have rashly asked for Nami’s blessing.

Orinoco frowned. “It’s nothing…”

“It’s just that… Although the principle of equivalent exchange is what we Wizards rely on for a living, sometimes it’s not necessary to abide by this principle… While pursuing benefits, it’s best to…”

After thinking for a while, Orinoco shook his head and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Let’s just trade.”

“Everyone has their own fate. Since this little Mermaid has repeatedly asked to leave the sea, it might not be a bad thing for her to go to land.”

…

In the next few days, Heath stayed in Deep Sea Kiss to cultivate.

In order to let Heath obtain good results to a greater extent, Deep Sea Kiss had invested a lot of resources. Basically, whether it was materials or potions, he was all given the greatest degree of support.

With these resources and the extraction system, Heath’s strength could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. Basically, he could have a very obvious improvement every day.

In this process, time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. At the same time, the Deep Sea Feast had finally begun.

The Golden Islands, the Door to the Deep Sea.

The Door to the Deep Sea was a spatial crack located in the northwest of the Golden Islands. Through this spatial crack, one could access one of the largest secret realms in the Golden Islands, the Mysterious Sea.

It was said to be a mysterious land left behind during the Age of the Gods. There were all kinds of precious materials growing in it, and the most famous one was undoubtedly the Golden Island’s specialty, the Heart of the Sea.

Unlike the other open secret realms in the Golden Islands, which could be accessed at any time, the Mysterious Sea was a closed secret realm. It was only opened to the outside once every thirty years, and due to the influence of some special power… All powers above Rank 1 Wizard level would be blocked outside, and only those below the rank of a beginner Wizard could enter.

At this moment, it was the largest gathering of Wizards in the Golden Islands once every 30 years, the Deep Sea Feast.

Ships from various Wizard organizations from the Golden Islands had gathered here. Everyone spread out in a circle around a small sea area in the middle, which was probably a circle… It was faintly emitting a faint luster.

The Wizards who were familiar with the Golden Islands all knew what that place was. That was the area where the Door to the Deep Sea was located.

On the deck of the Wizard ship of the Deep Sea Kiss, Wizard Orinoco was explaining the relevant matters to the Wizards who were about to participate in the Deep Sea Feast.

“…After entering, don’t be in a hurry to find the Heart of the Sea. The first thing is to find a safe place and ensure your own safety…”

“…Look at the map more often and keep an eye out for changes in the sea. Any dangerous situation in the Mysterious Sea can happen…”

“…You must be careful when picking. Sneak attacks, robberies, ambushes, these are everywhere…”

“…If you can’t hold on any longer, use the magic scroll as soon as possible. It’s man-made. As long as you do your best, it’s enough. Do you all remember?”

The participating Wizards on the deck said one after another:

“Yes, Teacher.”

“I’ll remember, Professor Orinoco.”

“Of course.”

Including Heath, there were more than ten Wizards sent by Deep Sea Kiss to participate in the Deep Sea Feast this time. Including Heath, there were as many as five official-level Wizards.

The Wizard organizations on the Golden Islands were generally stronger than those on the West Coast. For example, Deep Sea Kiss was only a middle-level Wizard organization on the Golden Islands. It was not even a ruler. However, there were already more than 20 Wizards that they could take out. Even when compared to Shadow Tower at its peak, they were on par. They were even slightly stronger in terms of high-end combat strength.

For example, in a banquet, they could easily drag five or six Wizards to participate. If it was any other Wizard organization, it would be unimaginable.

“Professor Orinoco, if we encounter other Wizard organizations’ Apprentices while we are picking the Heart of the Sea, should we kill them?” At this time, a young fat man suddenly asked. The emblem on the cloak showed that he was an official Wizard on the same level as Heath and the others.

Orinoco nodded. “Do your best to defeat the opponent, or force them to use scrolls to leave the Deep Sea Feast.”

Because of the limited number of Heart of the Sea, the Deep Sea Feast was also a competition. Each organization would send a fixed number of Wizards to enter. Whether or not they could get the Heart of the Sea depended on their strength.

In order to ensure the safety of the participating Wizards, before entering the Mysterious Sea area, the Wizards would take a teleportation scroll with them. Once they encountered a situation that they could not contend against, they could leave through the scroll.

Of course, this kind of protection was not perfect. The dangers in the Mysterious Sea were countless. Basically, there would be people who lost their lives at every Deep Sea Feast. Sometimes it was the Apprentices, and sometimes it was the Wizards.

“It’s starting!”

“The gate, the gate is coming!”

“What a big gate!”

“Is that the legendary Door to the Deep Sea?”

At this moment, there was an intense commotion in the crowd. Everyone’s attention was focused on the glowing sea.

The sea suddenly boiled like boiling water. Accompanied by the boiling seawater, an exceptionally majestic door slowly rose from the bottom of the sea.

It was a hollow door made of two stone pillars and a crossbeam. Its appearance was similar to an ordinary stone door, but it was too huge. It seemed to be more than a hundred meters tall, it stood on the ground like a small mountain.

There was no door plate in the middle of the stone door. Instead, there was a layer of transparent film that filled the entire space. It was as if there was a layer of cling film on the stone door. Through the cling film, one could vaguely see the blurry world behind.

Heath looked curiously at the stone door, the Door to the Deep Sea.

It was said that this was a product left behind since the Age of the Gods. It was built by the Sea God, the Siren. There was a part of the Siren’s divine power attached to it, and that divine power still existed even today.

“These should be the space runes of the ancient times… Is this the space transfer spell that they formed…”

The stone pillars of the stone door were covered with strange runes, like twisted tadpoles. They were the rule-type runes that Heath had seen before.

In the Wizard Library of Deep Sea Kiss, Heath had successfully found knowledge about the rule-type runes. These obscure runes were no longer the arcane books of the past in his eyes, and through the description of these runes… He had a rough understanding of their function. It was a space transfer spell.

‘It would be great if I could get the core structure of this spell… The space transfer spell in the ancient times was much more powerful than the one now…’ Heath thought greedily.

Crash!

At this moment, the stone door had completely risen to the surface of the sea, and at the same time, the ships docked on the surface of the sea were all boiling.

“It’s coming up, the stone gate is coming up!”

“The Deep Sea Feast! The Deep Sea Feast!”

Amidst the cheers of the people, the largest Wizard organization in the Golden Islands, the ruler of the Golden Islands, a Wizard from Sea Crown, slowly rose into the air.

After a long opening speech, the Wizard announced loudly, “I declare that this year’s Deep Sea Feast has officially begun!”
