So I'm a sheep.

The wizard didn't know how skilled the girl was at swordsmanship, but considering her age and birth, she couldn't possibly be very powerful.

'It's like having extra insurance, just in case I run into some random robber and get hacked to death.'

"Can my strength, speed, and dexterity be permanently enhanced?" Sasha asked solemnly.

"Not bad!"

"..."

She was already a top expert, and if what the wizard said was true, her strength was likely to undergo another qualitative change!

.........................................

"So what if I put the fish tank on my head? It's no big deal."

Sasha said with a smile, "I agree to your conditions. Let's set off now."

"Haha, you're really pragmatic. But I have three conditions in total, and I've only mentioned one so far."

The girl's eyelids twitched, but she nodded without saying anything.

She didn't care much about revitalizing the family, but she was determined to get that 'permanent blessing'!

Three conditions are fine, let's hear what he has to say first.

"If your family ever becomes powerful, I will need you to mobilize your family's resources to help me find a magical artifact to break the curse."

The wizard didn't want to remain a fish forever, but he couldn't break the queen's curse on his own; he needed the help of some powerful artifacts!

Of course, there are also wonders on the seabed, and perhaps even more wonders on the seabed than on land.

How...

There are too many terrifying creatures in the sea. The colorful-robed wizard, who only has three-tenths of his skills left, can barely protect himself, let alone compete with those powerful beings for rare treasures.

Let's say goodbye.

"no problem"

Sasha readily agreed to the wizard's second condition: once her family became powerful, she would mobilize her resources to help him find rare artifacts.

It's not like you have to lift a finger; it's just a matter of talking.

"Alright, then let's talk about the last condition."

"I'm going to cast a spell on you so that you'll never be able to reveal my weaknesses to anyone else."

"How about we sign a non-aggression pact afterward?"

The last condition has become two, but that's not the key point.

The key point is that after experiencing the curse cast on her by the lake spirit, Sasha is extremely disgusted by things like contracts and curses.

"let it go"

The girl refused without hesitation: "Wouldn't it be better if we were friends and helped each other?"

"I hate contracts, and I hate being cursed even more!"

.........................................

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Seeing Sasha turn to leave, the wizard quickly called out, "I'm doing this for the sake of our long-term cooperation. I have no intention of harming you, but I don't want you to end up harming me!"

Holding the fish tank to block the girl's path, the wizard said pitifully, "Are you angry? I didn't want to make you angry, but..."

"Although I haven't had contact with humans for over two hundred years, I always remember that humans are fickle creatures."

"We might have a pleasant working relationship at first, but what if you find me an eyesore decades from now?"

Tears streamed down the wizard's face. "It's understandable that you're angry, but I... I really can't trust you completely right now."

"..."

Sasha was silent for a while, then realized that the fishman's words made sense.

Even so, she could not possibly agree to be cursed.

"You're worried about how fickle humans are, so let's have a short-term collaboration."

The wizard was taken aback, then heard Sasha continue, "I don't need your help to revive my family, I only ask for a permanent blessing."

"In exchange, I will take you on a tour of the continent and promise to do my best to help you collect the rare items you need."

Volume 1: Chapter 657 Ankang

Sasha proposed a solution that she could accept, and after much deliberation, the wizard finally mustered the courage to agree.

“I also have some knowledge of curses, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to remove the curse from you.”

"I advise you not to get any funny ideas about me, or you'll regret it!"

After the agreement was reached, the wizard issued a final, forceful warning.

"Are you that insecure?"

The girl wasn't angry; instead, she looked at him with a hint of sympathy.

"Hmph, I'm considered mentally resilient. You, on the other hand, have spent over two hundred years alone at the bottom of the sea as a fish; you'd go mad long ago!"

Yes, it's been underwater for over two hundred years, no wonder it's acting a bit strange.

What should I call you?

"what?"

"From now on, we're comrades, but you've forgotten your own name. I can't just keep calling you 'Ugly Fish,' can I?"

"..."

The wizard pondered for a moment and said, "You can call me 'Ankang'."

"Okay, but why did you choose such a name?"

"Because I am an anglerfish."

........................................

With peace and health on her head, Sasha embarked on a new journey.

"Does the Kingdom of Carlos still exist?"

"Yes, His Majesty is now King Carlos VII."

"Humanity is still independent?"

"kindness"

Have the dwarves formed an alliance with humans?

"No, it looks like there's a war going on."

What are your thoughts on elves?

"I've never even seen an elf, so what opinion do I have?"

Ankang, who has been holding back for over two hundred years, is definitely a super chatterbox; once he opens his mouth, he can't stop talking.

They talked about everything from global affairs to what to eat for lunch; it was enough to make Sasha's head spin.

"You're so long-winded!"

"Please understand, it's like this at the beginning. Just let me have my fill of talking."

"By the way, are the kingdom and the dwarves fighting over the gold mountain?"

That's what my teacher said.

Ankang blew two bubbles and kept circling in the fish tank.

Those short, stocky guys are most interested in forging, so when did they become interested in gold?

It's likely that Sariel's teacher was just repeating hearsay that if humans and dwarves were to actually wage war over a mountain, or even just a few mountains, then those mountains would definitely be iron ore mountains!

Just as he was about to share his insightful opinion, Sasha suddenly slapped the soybean and stopped him.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"There's quite a commotion ahead, let's wait and see."

Before long, a procession of several hundred people appeared before the girl.

The group included men, women, and children; it seemed like a large-scale relocation, or perhaps a desperate escape.

"Girl, don't go any further, go back quickly!"

The middle-aged man at the front looked at Sasha's outfit with surprise, and then offered some advice.

"Uncle, what exactly happened?"

"The monsters of Danlu City have escaped, and even the Marquis is helpless. He sent someone to tell us to escape immediately!"

monster?

Sasha perked up, sensing an opportunity had arrived!

"Uncle, don't rush, explain it clearly."
