Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 801: Meeting with Sirens

Sam and Varien are making small talk. They are not talking about anything serious though. The professor understood the cue and left the room.

After that with a mere gesture, the subordinates standing behind the envoy also left the room.

Varien looked at the trio.

"No problem, let them stay here."

"Sure. I would like to talk about the weapons you designed? May I know if you designed them on specific instructions or did you do it on your own?"

"You are pretty straightforward. But don’t worry. Those weapons are not made for you and no one ordered me to do it. I made them for hunting the emerald tortoise. They found a use for it because of the sea folks that suddenly became impatient and started the war."

"That is good. The only thing we are worried about is that they can be used for more than just sea folks."

"I am sure. They could be."

"Sam, I would be straightforward and honest. Because of these weapons, there is a probability that there could be a war sparked between elves and sirens. You might have already known, the elves are extremely prideful and they don’t take anyone as equals that easily. And I guess you can understand why they even gave sirens that chance."

"Of course, but what can I do? I don’t have that much political influence, even if the war started. I am just an inventor."

"I know that too. And that is the area of expertise we are here for. Not the political influence. Since you are the one who made it, we would like to ask you to make something for defending against these things. We would be extremely grateful for that."

Sam was surprised. He didn’t expect something like this. When he learned that the meeting is about the creation of these things, he surely expected some reaction from the sirens. Like anger, discontent and hostility.

But this is something completely unexpected. They didn’t show any anger, they are showing willingness to cooperate instead.

This is new for him.

"What kind of defense, do you want? If it is a defensive system for a large place or something like that, I have very few limited things to do."

"No, not something like that. We would like you to make something that is good for individual defense. Something particularly good against the harpoons."

"Is selling weapons a viable option between us? What if there are any problems with the government?"

"Don’t worry, I will manage all of that. All I ask, is that you pay a visit to our place and make something for us to defend ourselves. I have a convincible story made up just for this. If you can just sell us these things, we would be happy, if you can make it possible so that we can make them directly, then that would be even ideal."

"But why do I have to pay you a visit?"

"Because that is the only way, I can make the story convincing. In fact, there is indeed a problem there and we would like your assistance in that also. As for me betraying you, you don’t have to worry about that."

With that, he took out a blood red scroll from his storage. The very familiar scroll that was given to him by the professor to make him believe that he would stay away from Raunak.

Sam was indeed convinced. Actually, since he got the dimensional drifter, he is not exactly worried about getting stuck. As long as they couldn’t detect the divine dimension, he would be able to escape. And for all the days he spent here and no one saw it, which means there is no one here who can detect it. It is safe for him at the moment.

But after seeing the scroll, he was even more convinced. He is really tempted to go to the sea. After all, no matter what world it is, the sea is the largest treasure trove and also the largest home for the danger.

The greatest of the treasures might as well be in the lowest depths of the sea accompanied by the craziest of the dangers.

How can he not be interested in visiting such a place? Particularly when a whole civilization and a race is living there for centuries. He still couldn’t forget the experience in the Merman planet in Naga Loka.

But he didn’t agree immediately.

"I will give you an answer by tomorrow. Can you tell me where you live? I can visit you directly."

"Sure, thanks for the consideration."

Sam left with the trio and on their way, he spoke to them.

"Do you guys want to come along? Or do you have something else in mind?"

"Nope, we are going to the Planet 2. We heard that the sea folks are going all out. We don’t want to miss out on the fun."

"Really? Then try to collect some bodies of the sea folks will you?"

"Sure."

"When are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow, afternoon. We are signing up for the special recruitment as temporary soldiers."

"Sure, don’t forget to be careful. Particularly you Philip, you have greatest disadvantage inside the water."

"Yeah, sure. Don’t start nagging me."

They went back with some small talk and funny banter.

As soon as they left, the subordinates went inside and the one particular subordinate was in hurry to speak, but before he could speak, Varien raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

"Can’t even hide your killing intent? What kind of soldier can you become? If you can’t even do that, go back to your prodigal life and live the rest of it while bragging about your ancestors and noble blood. The army has no place for you."

The young man held his face with his palm and looked at Varien with anger and resentment.

"Are we taking him with us?" The young man still asked the question he wanted to ask. Not minding the face numbing slap he suffered.

"Yes, if he agrees."

"I don’t him to come with us."

"And why do you think that matters?"

"Because, he is my enemy."

"So, he is the one put you in your place this morning. I heard of that matter. You not only stole his masseuse, your human companion even yapped his mouth at her. How did you expect it to go? Good thing he didn’t kill you."

"Him, killing me? In his dreams. I am telling you now. If he comes with us, no matter what happens to him is not my responsibility."

"Yes, it wouldn’t be yours. Go do what you want to do. I dare you to do it."

With that the argument was over.

Sam came back to his residence, informed Raunak and made arrangements for his friends that are going the next day.

The next morning, he sent off the trio and went to meet the Siren’s in their residence.

He agreed to go and they decided to start their journey the next day.

He spent the rest of the day just with his research.

The next day, the Sirens and Sam started their journey from the city.

They went to another seashore city and entered the sea.

Sam is wearing his breathing device and started swimming with the sirens. They are exactly like the mermen in the water. Their legs changed. Except for their auras and their skin tones, they are almost same.

The only drawback in the journey is Sam has to swim for half a day, before they reached the deeper waters where they got a ride.

They are sitting on the back of a large shark. This shark is out of proportion and is almost same size as a miniature whale.

After travelling for a day, they finally arrived at the place and when Sam saw the city, he couldn’t help but feel nostalgic and a smile appeared on his face.

The structure and layout of the city is almost same as the merman city. Most of them are made from the large shell-fish beasts’ leftovers.

The people are also the same. Except there are fishmen here. Only the sirens.

"Your city is beautiful."

"Thanks you."

"So, you created the city near the undersea volcano?"

"How do you know?"

"Just a guess actually. The light coming into the city is getting the energy from heat and where can you get heat under water."

"You seem to have good understanding of energy flow and energy natures."

"Of course, that’s one of my strong suits, so tell your subordinate to control that energy. He is clearly trying so hard to hold back. With that he wouldn’t even be able to sneak up on a fish. Much less me."

Varien looked at the same subordinate who he slapped yesterday and glared before they went to see the city.

"So, when are you going to see that problem of yours?"

"You don’t want to rest first?"

"First work, then enjoyment. That’s how I operate."

"Great then, Please follow me."
