Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master
113 Useless Item?
Alex hurriedly closed his mouth to stop more water from going inside his mouth.
Immediately, Alex breathed a sigh of relief.
Kris from behind saw all that and felt a little funny.
As for the mermen, they looked at each other before one of them left their post while the other was left to watch over Alex and Kris.
The mermen that was left behind opened his mouth and said, "Wait for a while, my colleague already went to get an item that can help you speak while under the water."
Hearing that, Alex was relieved and nodded.
Obediently waiting, soon the other mermen came back holding two green leaf like things and handed it to Alex and Kris.
"Here, chew this first then you can speak after that."
Alex looked at the leaf that was handed over and used [Inspect] just to be safe.
[Speech Seaweed]
[Rating: Common]
[Effect: If chewed, it coats your whole mouth with plant oil making it waterproof.]
[Details: A type of seaweed that can be found commonly near the shore. Commonly used by humans to let them talk while underwater, hence, its name.]
…
After seeing that there's nothing wrong with it, Alex unhesitatingly put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.
Seeing Alex putting the leaf in his mouth, Kris also did the same.
A few seconds later, Alex opened his mouth again and impressively, the water won't go in his mouth no matter what he does.
Alex smiled, he turned his eyes at the two mermen guarding the city gate and said, "Thank you for that speech seaweed. Now, I can finally speak."
"It's not a problem. Once again, please state your purpose for coming here to the city of Atlantis." Said one of the mermen.
Clearing his throat, Alex said, "Ehem, we came here because of the quest of my friend here."
Showing Kris to them, Alex continued, "There is an item that she needs to get that can only be found here."
"Hmm, if possible, please tell us more about this item that she needs so we can help you in your search."
Scratching his head, Alex was a bit hesitant to tell them the item's name.
[Heart of Nature].
Just from the name of it, Alex guessed that this should be a pretty important item.
Telling the mermen that they want to take an important item from their city will probably cause them to be hunted down.
But after taking a peek at their face, Alex knows that they won't let them in unless they tell the name of the item.
Sighing, Alex resolved himself, 'I'll just tell them honestly. If it really comes to the point that they hunt us down, then I'll just have to take care of it with my fist!'
With that in mind, Alex showed a gentle smile and said, "We're looking for an item called [Heart of Nature], do you know anything about it?"
Hearing Alex's words, the face of the mermen changed and they looked at each other before turning eyes back to Alex with a confused look.
"[Heart of Nature]? Why do you need such a thing?" One of them asked.
At this time, Alex was already preparing for a fight.
However, after seeing their confused faces, he immediately extinguished his fighting intent and looked at them with the same confused look.
So, three confused faces looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Alex turned his eyes to Kris who's been silent this whole time and said,
"Kris, I told them that you need the [Heart of Nature] since they were asking but, for some reason they are asking why you need such a thing."
"What the hell is that [Heart of Nature] thing?"
With an equally confused face, Kris said, "Huh? I don't know either. The elves just told me to get it and the locations of the items."
Hearing that, Alex felt speechless for a second before sighing.
Then he looked back at the mermen and asked, "Actually, we don't know what [Heart of Nature] truly is. All we know is that my friend here needs it."
"If you don't mind, can you tell me about it."
"Sure!"
The mermen agreed and started talking about what the [Heart of Nature] is.
From the mermen's words, [Heart of Nature] is basically a useless item.
[Heart of Nature] is a type of crystal that can be mined at a cave that's under Atlantis.
It is pretty rare and only 10 pieces can be mined every year.
However, even though it's a really rare item and has such a grand name, it's actually something that no one really wants.
That is because [Heart of Nature] doesn't really do anything.
Literally nothing, like a stone in the road.
No matter what the mermaids try to do, they can't find any use for it.
It also looks ugly and so, no one even wants to use it as a decoration or accessory.
Because of all those reasons, [Heart of Nature] has long since been deemed as useless by the mermaids.
After hearing all that, Alex told Kris what he learned from the mermen since she can't understand them without the pendant.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Kris' face after hearing Alex's words.
"Hmm, is that so? Well, it doesn't matter. All I have to do is bring it to the elves and I can proceed with the class change."
"As for whether it's a useless item or not, that's got nothing to me."
Alex nodded, agreeing with her words.
Next, Alex decided to ask the mermen if they could bring them two pieces of [Heart of Nature].
"Uhm, excuse me, if you don't mind, can I ask you to give me two pieces of [Heart of Nature]?"
To his request, the mermen willingly agreed.
"Sure, it's not a big deal anyway."
"Really?! Thank you very much!"
Soon, Alex received two red crystals that's the size of his fist from the mermen.
"Here, this is the [Heart of Nature], it's now yours."
