Chapter 879: Do you want to be human?
Seeing that I wasn’t saying anything, Angela suddenly grabbed me and seemed like she was about to shake me until I gave her the answer that she wanted.
But before she could…
I suddenly raised my hand and put a finger to her lip before saying, “Shh, let me focus. This is important.”
Angela was caught off guard the moment that she saw this.
If it was anyone else, she definitely wouldn’t have allowed them to do something like this to her.
This was the privilege that I received as her husband.
So seeing that I was this serious, she let go of me and moved behind me while looking at me with a face like she was waiting to see what I was doing.
But I didn’t notice any of that as I was still looking forward to the river in front of us. After another long silence, I suddenly pointed in a certain direction and said, “Over there!” It wasn’t just the shadows that were surprised by this sudden outburst from me, my wives who had been standing behind me were also surprised. They all looked at each other as if they were trying to figure out what I was doing.
Seeing that the shadows didn’t do anything, I pointed in the same direction, but I turned back to look at them to say, “What are you doing? Full speed in that direction!”
When they heard this, the shadows had no choice but to follow my orders.
Though they did look at my wives with worried looks because of the way that I acted.
It was as if they were worried that there was a screw loose with my brain.
Angela stepped forward again when she saw the way that the shadows looked at her to ask, “What did you find?”
I shook my head and just said, “You’ll see soon enough.”
She knitted her brows, but I didn’t say anything else, so she had no choice but to back down again.
Though it was clear by the look on her face that she wasn’t happy with this response.
Still, I was focused on the river in front of us.
From time to time, I suddenly changed the direction that I pointed in while giving the order, “Turn in that direction!”
The shadows all had worried looks on their faces, but they still followed my direction. However, the more that I turned, the more worried that they looked.
After all, it didn’t seem like there was any reasoning behind the directions that I gave. With how sudden I changed the directions, it was almost as if there was no thinking behind this at all.
It was as if I was just going on instinct alone.
That was why they were all worried.
Though it wasn’t wrong to say that I was relying on instinct alone.
It was based on the current of the river.
No one was really paying attention to the current of the river since they were still a bit dazed because of the beautiful song that was in the air. They could tell that we were getting closer to the source of the song as it was getting louder, but it didn’t seem like anything serious was about to happen.
But they were wrong.
The current was leading in a certain direction and I knew that this current was leading to our goal, the monster that dwelled in this river.
As for how I knew…once again, it was game knowledge to the rescue.
After guiding the ship for a while, I suddenly raised my hand and said, “Slow down!”
The shadows were once again confused, but they didn’t hesitate to follow this order since it was certainly safer to slow down than to speed along this river.
Seeing that I called for us to slow down, Angela suddenly came forward again to question me, “What are you…”
I raised my hand again to stop her before bringing my hands to my ears to listen carefully. Seeing this, she didn’t finish what she was saying and just silently stood behind me, though it was clear by the look on her face that she seemed to be fed up with all of this.
I had been so focused that I had even closed my eyes as I listened carefully to the song around
us.
Then all of a sudden, I opened my eyes and pointed in a direction to say, “Over there!”
Everyone looked in the direction that I pointed in, but they all had disappointed looks as they only saw some rocks that were sticking out of the river. They didn’t know what to expect from me when I had acted all mysterious like this, but they were certainly disappointed seeing just these rocks.
I shook my head and gave a sigh when I saw the looks on their faces before saying, “Not the rocks, it’s behind the rocks.”
There were looks of doubt that were on everyone’s faces, but I just ignored them as I said, “Pull us over to the rocks.”
The shadows looked nervous hearing this since they thought that I might be risking everyone’s lives with this order, but I just calmly said, “You don’t have to bring us all the way over, just bring us close enough that my voice will reach.”
All of them looked at me with doubtful looks, but narrowing my eyes to look back at them did
the trick.
I was the king after all, so I had a certain amount of prestige.
Though because of this, Cecilia and Veronica moved forward just in case.
It seemed like they were prepared to tackle me and take me down if it turned out to be
nothing.
They really thought that I was crazy, but I didn’t have time to deal with them right now.
When we came over to the rocks, I suddenly raised my voice to say, “I know that this is our first time meeting, but there’s something that I must ask you. Do you want to become
human?”
The moment that my voice fell, the singing stopped.
