Chapter 386: 386.Wanna… F… Trade?
Did Magnus know how to play the Banjo? Absolutely not, but that didn’t stop him from trying to play it and also sing at the same time. Peter just silently tried to hold his laughter while massaging Chad.
?Oh, people from the underworld,
I wanna meet you and talk to you.
Introduce you to this furry kitty curled.?
?I think the meeting has been due,
as I am Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon,
Awesome and best king and wizard,
much better than all those previous turds?
?So come on out and talk to me,
We can eat a pizza, the taste is my guarantee.
Don’t worry, the foolish stupid Ragnar ain’t here,
So you won’t get his stupidity in there.?
?Wanna be my friend? It’s a limited offer,
So bros, quickly come out of the water.?
*WOOSH*
“REEEEEEEE…”
“Fuck! They came out… and look angry?” Magnus was shocked by the sight of an 8-foot tall merperson coming out, he looked strong, muscular and had a trident in one hand. He also had some ornaments but overall looked ugly and scary.
Peter, scared, hid behind the tree, “Magnus, I don’t think they liked your songs.”
“WHAT?! But I tried my best, I’m sure the lyrics were decent.” Magnus said and walked to the merfolk.
“Hello there, I am Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon, how do you do?” He forwarded his hand to shake.
*REEEE…*
Well, that was their language, but thankfully, Magnus could understand him just fine, “Yes, I am Merlin’s descendant. I wanted to talk to you all. I heard what happened to you people back in the days. The history of merpeople’s relations with the wizarding British government is somewhat rocky. I know, Chief Elfrida Clagg refused to accept merpeople as beings under her definition of the term as those who could “speak the human tongue”.
“She thought Mermish to be inadequate as it could not be understood above water. Her decision upset both the merpeople and your allies, the centaurs. If I could bring back that bitch’s soul, I would torment her or gift her to you.
“But, the world has changed, I have taken over, the dream of Merlin is my dream, which is peace and prosperity for all sentient species. Besides, I am best friends with the Centaurs and Goblins.”
“REEEEE…”
Magnus was taken aback, “You want me to come with you? Hmm, fine, let’s go. Oye, Peter, you also come, see how interesting and dangerous my life is before you think I am the luckiest guy.”
Chad wanted to run away as going underwater was just like inviting anxiety and heart attack, but he was caught by Magnus. After that, he followed the Merperson, who used his trident to create a bubble around Magnus and Peter’s bodies.
Slowly, they descended inside the lake and reached the floor. After that, they had to walk/swim a little to reach where their colony lived. And once he arrived there he was shocked, the first thing he saw was a big gate, one that took a lot of work and carving to make, though it has a lot of moss on it now. But this showed that these were sophisticated beings, not just some dumb creatures.
Peter, too, was shocked, while Chad was playing with his bubble, enjoying floating around. Then soon they entered the colony, which could be called a city. There were elaborate multistory buildings with architecture he had never seen before. There were a lot of pathways made between the buildings, some in the air, giving a jaw-dropping view of the dark ravines under.
There were thousands of normal fishes, but also merpeople floating around, a lot of them got interested in him and came to see, they were ugly to be honest, as written in the books, only the merpeople who live in warm waters are pretty looking, those who live in cold water, like in this case, tend to be ugly.
~Woah, the females have their tiddies out for all to see, I thought they would have seashells.~ Magnus was shocked to see this. But again, this was just a lake so they probably lacked the seashells.
“I’ve been trying to talk to you people for so long, what finally made you talk?” He inquired.
The merperson who led them replied with an annoyed face, “Your singing and music were hitting our ears. You’ve been doing it for the past 3 years every few weeks, please, just stop. Look at Chunky there, poor kid can’t sleep for 3 days after your torture.”
“Pfft…” Peter burst into laughter after hearing this.
“Hey, I’m not that bad, Emma says she likes to hear me sing.” Magnus protested, it was a matter of his honour after all.
The merperson looked at him deadpan, “What is your relation with her?”
“She’s my super hot lover, a really good girl. Why?” He replied.
The merperson shrugged, “You’re smart enough to know what’s wrong with her praising you and why it does not count. Anyway, I am Chibuez, I will take you to meet our king.”
“WAIT! YOU’RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE!” Magnus just noticed.
“Of course I did, you think we don’t know your language after inhibiting this lake for thousands of years? The strong ones among us know your language but just choose not to use it.” Chibuez explained.
“What do you all eat?” He inquired. After all, managing food in such a small lake must be hard.
“Humans,” was all Chibuez answered with.
This scared Peter, while Chad didn’t care as cats were not named.
“And cats,” Chibuez added.
“MEOWWW!” Chad quickly swam into Magnus’ arms for safety.
…
Soon, they arrived in front of a large building, it wasn’t anything special, they were led inside where a big empty seat was placed. “Where is the king?” Magnus asked.
But, Chibuez suddenly went forward and sat down on the throne, “Pleasure to meet you, King Magnus, I am King Chibuez of the Merpeople of Great Lake.”
(?_?)(•? _ ?•)
Peter looked at Magnus while Magnus was taken aback, “Umm, the king came to meet me? Why would you come to the surface yourself?”
“To show that I mean respect. And I am not really a big king, our population is just 2500, can’t really be called King at this, tribe chief is more like it.” Chibuez replied, seeming pretty chill, but his face was always destroying that frankness as he looked too scary.
“So tell me, why did you want to meet me?” Chibuez questioned.
Magnus didn’t really have an aim, he was just messing around, trying to see if he could talk to them, but surely, this was more than he was expecting, “Umm… not really much. Just wanted to talk to you all.”
“So you didn’t come here to trade with us or sign any sort of treaty?” King Chibuez inquired.
“Nope, nothing like that. Though I would like to learn to make music.” Magnus honestly replied.
“Hahahaha… you sure are very honest, King Magnus. You see that crystal behind you, if that had lightened up, I would have tried to kill you. That Crystal was gifted to my ancestors by Merlin so we could understand the intentions of humans if we had to ever talk to them.
“Why do you think we Merpeople rejected the offer of the Ministry to classify us as “being”. They were secretly attempting to classify us the same as Hags and Vampires.” King Chibuez revealed.
Magnus felt a drop of sweat on his forehead, he had no idea that they were ready to attack him, of course, he knew he wouldn’t die and instead end up killing their entire population, but that was not what he wanted, being labelled a genocidal maniac was the last thing he needed.
In response, Magnus decided to treat them as he would any other nation, “Well, now that we have initiated a contact, wanna trade?”
