Chapter 36 Potions
After passing the Sphinx's question, what appeared in front of them was a very gorgeously decorated bungalow. The railings outside the yard were even decorated with different patterns, making it a modern residence.
"Is this right here?"
Seeing this place that was obviously incompatible with the painting style of the dream world, Karl asked Xiang Iida with some doubts, how could a sea witch actually live in such a place?
This is not the same as the witch's cabin in fairy tales.
As a result, the mermaid princess nodded and answered as usual:
"If I remember correctly, it's right here."
"The sea witch's residence often changes shape, but its location remains the same."
As she spoke, Iida also looked around at the trees in the surrounding environment, seeming to compare them with the places in her memory.
After confirming the location again, the mermaid princess continued:
"I've seen the locust tree over there before, so I can't mistake it."
Seeing Iida's certainty, Karl chose to believe the mermaid princess, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door in the railing.
"Is anyone here?"
Not long after knocking on the door, the originally locked door automatically unlocked without anyone's control, opening it to both sides as if inviting Karl and the others.
Faced with this situation, Karl looked at Iida and continued to ask:
"Have you been like this before?"
"Yes, please don't worry too much."
Giving Karl a "don't worry" look, Iida took the lead and walked into this building that had a strange atmosphere. It was obvious that she couldn't wait any longer.
"Since you take the initiative to open the door, it means that the sea witch agrees to our visit, so you can go in with confidence."
"All right……"
Looking at Iida, who looked convinced that there was no danger here, with a hint of expectation for her sisters in her eyes.
Karl had no choice but to shrug and follow into the villa.
Entering through the gate, passing through a medium-sized garden, the group of them entered the front hall generously from the front of the bungalow.
At this moment, tables and chairs have been prepared in the room, and the slightly steaming black tea also shows that the host means to entertain them.
The only living thing in front of everyone was a charming woman wearing a silk nightgown on the couch in the center of the room. At this moment, the woman seemed to be still in her sleep and did not open her eyes due to the arrival of everyone.
"Isn't this the sea witch you were talking about?"
Looking at this charming woman with a beautiful face and a curvy figure, Karl looked at Iida with some uncertainty.
Could it be that this is the so-called sea witch?
As a witch, it’s too out of place!
It would be acceptable if Karl, an old woman guarding the crucible and wearing a wizard's hat, appeared, but what if the beautiful witch in front of her got a woman?
In the end, the answer to Karl was still the confirmation reply from Iaidana.
The mermaid princess nodded slightly, then walked up to the sea witch and gave the sleeping woman a gentle push.
"Ms. Sea Witch, please wake up."
"I am Iida from the mermaid clan."
Just like that, the sleeping woman lying on the recliner slowly opened her eyes, and there was a trace of surprise in her eyes after seeing Iida.
"Iida?"
"Why did you come to my place?"
"Could it be that you have already..."
Without waiting for the sea witch to finish speaking, the mermaid princess directly interrupted her question.
"I came here from my home. I already know everything that happened. Now I am here just to find my missing sisters. You should know something, right?"
Yi Aida briefly explained the reason why she came here, and then Iida stared into the sea witch's eyes, waiting for the reply she was about to say.
"It's really different."
Looking at the serious-looking mermaid princess, the sea witch, like Karl, confirmed something in Iida's eyes. Then she stretched lazily and leaned back from the lounge chair.
"It is true that nothing happened to your sisters. When the disaster happened, they were sent to me by your mother for refuge."
After speaking, the woman clapped her hands gently, and another door in the room immediately opened.
Immediately afterwards, five hairless bald girls rushed in and surrounded Iida who had not yet reacted.
"Sister, it's great that you're okay!"
"Iada, my Iida!"
"You don't know that many terrible things happened at home after you left!"
"..."
Intense greetings immediately sounded in the room, and Iida looked at the group of girls who suddenly came in with a look of surprise. At this time, the happy mood of the mermaid princess was self-evident.
The five bald girls who suddenly appeared were indeed her missing sisters!
"I really thought I was going to lose you too!"
"That's great, that's great!"
The excited Iida kept repeating this sentence, and then she hugged her sisters and experienced the only warmth of the mermaid family at this moment.
After they greeted each other for a while and their emotions calmed down a little, Karl interrupted their reminiscence.
"Girls, although I understand your mood, it's best to take a rest now."
As he spoke, Karl turned his attention to the sea witch who had been lying aside without speaking. This guy had not moved since the mermaid sisters gathered just now. Instead, he looked at Karl and the others thoughtfully, and at Naia.
He is very careful and is obviously a very capable guy.
"We are here to help Iida find her sisters. Another thing is to learn the details of what happened that day. If you know anything about the sea witch, please be sure to tell me."
Hearing Karl's question, the sea witch raised her eyebrows and then said:
"Of course it's okay to tell you, but what price will you pay for this answer?"
"That depends on what you need." Carl replied.
"Oh."
Smiling softly, the woman slowly stood up, walked to the table, poured herself a cup of black tea and took a sip.
"I can make a potion that allows you to see the scene that day, but after watching it, you must leave my island before the sun sets, otherwise when night falls, you will turn into a pillar of salt on the earth.
.”
"Karl, promise her."
Without waiting for Karl to answer, Naia beside him directly helped him make a decision.
"We don't need to stay here for too long. We will leave when we want to know."
Looking at Naia who answered proactively, the sea witch smiled and nodded.
"As expected of a god, then I will go and prepare."
