Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 107: Precious Treasure

"By the way, Ais. Are you here just to play with water? At night like this? All alone?" Sylvia asked after making sure her father wasn't angry.

"Not really. I'm also waiting for my companion who is playing in the water. She is diving in the lake right now, maybe catching fish? That's if there is one." Elysia shook her head slightly.

'Vannessa, isn't it about time you finished playing with water? Why are you diving for so long? We have two uninvited guests here.'

'Yes, master. I'll be right back. I saw an object sparkling at the bottom of the lake, but it turned out to be over 200 meters deep. Based on your permission, can I go straight to the bottom of the lake and collect it?' Vanessa immediately replied to ask permission to stay away from the safe zone under her master's supervision.

'It's okay, but do it quickly. If you don't surface for more than ten minutes, I'll dive in and find you.' Elysia gave her permission easily.

'Yes, thank you, master. I'll go to the surface first to take a breath.' Vanessa immediately swam to return to the surface then looked at her master, and indeed, there were two strangers.

"That's my companion. She is playing in the water." Elysia pointed at the white tiger that had just surfaced.

"Woah! Pet? Spirit Beast? Are you a Beast Tamer, Ais?" Sylvia turned her head in the direction Elysia was pointing and exclaimed somewhat exaggeratedly.

What really surprised her was not because of the winged white tiger, but because the Beast at Spirit level was the companion of a human girl at the Apprentice level! How did it happen!?

"Well, you can say that. Contracted beast, that's the term used and appropriate. Hmm... Since you called me Ais casually, how should I call you? Aivlys feels hard to pronounce."

"Call me, Lys. That's easy on the tongue, right?" Sylvia clapped her hands and gave a little weight to her new nickname.

Vanessa saw them chatting well, and nothing bad happened to her master. Then, She took a breath and then immediately dived to get to what he had seen at the bottom of the lake, maybe something that sparkled was a treasure?

A very valuable treasure that was worth a fortune to buy a lifetime supply of food!? Whatever the cost, she should try to retrieve it before any other lucky creature would take it.

By giving the treasure to her master, it was guaranteed she would always eat good food. The guarantee that was so tempting to her, her stomach to be precise. Vanessa swam to the bottom of the lake with enthusiasm and passion.

"Yes, that's easy. Then, Lys. Now, you have arrived at this huge lake. Do you also want to play in the lake like my companion?" Elysia nodded and moved on to their troubles here.

"It's unfortunate, Ais. I can't swim yet. It's rare for me to meet deep water. I've only seen the real sea once, but just watch it and don't go there." Sylvia sighed as she didn't have that much experience.

"Hmm... The seas in the world are not that vast and numerous, no more than a quarter of this world. You're lucky enough to say that. You want to become an adventurer, right? You can go to the Northern Region or Eastern Region to see the vast sea." Elysia made suggestions based on her knowledge of the map.

But at the same time, she was looking at Sylvia's father with a look of both astonishment and pity. They had lived that long, and Sylvia was over five centuries old, but her father never took her out to sea? What did they do by living so many years in this vast world with so many places to explore? Not to mention the sea to the south and west of the Devil Continent. He didn't lock up his daughter in a safe and closed room, right? Elysia was starting to wonder in her mind for a moment.

"Really!? Hum, looks like we need to go there, father... Looks like we can't..." Sylvia was excited but immediately lethargic because her father didn't seem to like it. He frowned as he folded his arms.

'What? What father is he? He was so stubborn, rude, arrogant, and stingy. His daughter is 556 years old, and she rarely sees deep water, only saw the sea once? Where have they lived? In the cave? He never took her on any excursions? Hmph! Pathetic.' Elena immediately commented, feeling dissatisfied and annoyed.

'Umm... It's not good to badmouth someone like that behind his back.'

'I never badmouth someone behind their back. I always do it in front of that someone. Whether that someone can hear it or not, it's none of my business, hehe... I hate people like this Devil Emperor, and that Serena girl too.' Elena immediately reversed the saying from Elysia.

She was honest and straightforward, if she liked something, she would say like, and hate would say hate, really a simple girl.

'Well, that's just a saying. I don't think you're wrong, Sister Elena.' Elysia could only relent even if it was true what Elena said about the Demon Emperor's personality.

'That's my Lil Ely. I am proud of you.' Elena smiled so happily.

Elysia didn't continue that anymore. She looked back at Sylvia. "Hum, if he doesn't let you, I'll punish him. Your father is so aggressive and strong, he's enough to crush everything that he excuses himself to ban you from the place you want to go."

"Is that so? Really?" Sylvia felt a little hesitant when she saw her father, who was still frowning. Neither of them knew Dylan was guessing Elysia's identity right now instead of frowning because of his daughter.

"Your dad will be there with you, right? Then what's wrong with that? Oh, take it easy. He's just in a bad mood after the incident just now. Don't think too much about it. He'll be happy to take you on outings to your heart's content."

Elysia's persuasion managed to make Sylvia lift her mood. She was sure it was true. Her father was just contemplating something... He had promised her before they left their castle and arrived here.

But after that, the topic that came to her mind was this human girl called Ais. Ais defeated her father in a unique and complicated way. Ais was still at the Apprentice level, right? What did she do to achieve that?

Her father was the Devil Emperor above all... But he lost to this young human girl who seemed still so weak and no more than seventeen years old, maybe only sixteen. Wasn't she too overpowered? Sylvia felt a little suspicious about that, but thanks to Ais, she was finally able to watch her father suffer a defeat.

The two of them sat by the lake, splashing around with their pretty legs and chatting for a while. Then, a man guarded them not far away. He just looked with some suspicion at the human girl who was talking with his daughter.

Shortly after, the ten minutes Elysia gave to Vanessa had passed, but the white tiger had not yet surfaced. She was still beyond 200 meters underwater.

'Vanessa, are you there? Are you all right? Answer me, or I'll dive.' Elysia was getting worried.

'I'm fine, master. I'll come to the surface soon. The lake is very deep and a bit dark. I managed to retrieve the shiny object. I'll ask for my reward later hehe... Food...' Vanessa immediately answered her worried master then fantasized about a lifetime supply of food, which had become a complete guarantee in her mind.

'Food? That shiny thing is food? Hm... This lake was created because of the crater from a powerful explosion, then filled with water. So why are there fish? Shiny fish?' Elena muttered in confusion, and Elysia couldn't answer. They could only wait for Vanessa to surface.

A moment later, a white tiger immediately surfaced and swam towards her master with her wings' help to make it much faster.

'Ow... Look at your body getting soaked and cold. Don't you feel the cold of diving that far? Here let me help dry and warm your body.' Elysia immediately went up to greet Vanessa.

She dried Vanessa's body with her magic from the combination of air and heat like a hairdryer and heating device.

'Thank you, master. Look at this, this is the treasure at the bottom of the lake that I found. Shiny and precious, perhaps of very high value.' Vanessa shook her body out of habit even though it was dry and warm again. Then she turned to her master, the treasure in question was between her fangs.

'What is this? A gold emblem? There's a symbol engraved here. But what does it symbolize?' Elysia reached up and took the emblem and examined it.

"So beautiful and fancy. Upon closer inspection, you are so charming. A winged tiger, right? Nee~ Ais, what's her name? Eh, she should be able to speak because she is a Spirit Beast. Um? What are you examining, Ais?" Sylvia immediately approached to observe the 5 meters long large white tiger, then looked curiously at the emblem on Elysia's hand.
