Chapter 356: Fish – 1

Brant frowned as creases formed between his eyebrows.

“Did you already tame a water beast? Or was it present from before but didn’t reveal it?” he asked.

“No… I am guessing Professor Katherine must already know that I am able to use Lily’s affinities… same for her,” Leo responded.

Brant was completely dumbfounded.

“So quickly!?” he exclaimed. “Like you both really reached that level of soulmate bond this early and young!? It took Katherine and me 150 years! More than a century for that!”

This time, it was Leo who was taken aback. Was it really such shocking news that a century-old, senile, experienced man lost his composure?

Brant realised his mistake.

“Sorry, I lost my composure,” he apologised and facepalmed, steadying his breath.

He slowly looked up, as if he had a question for his god.

Katherine must be laughing her ass off back in her room, he thought. Katherine clearly played with him, since she could have said that Leo and Lily had achieved this insane feat last night.

After shaking his head, he spoke again.

“Congratulations…” he muttered in a low voice. He still couldn’t comprehend the fact that such love could still exist.

Am I loving my babygirl so little? A fleeting thought arrived, which went away as quickly as it came.

No, these two are special, he concluded at last.

“Anyway, it’s good that you are able to share your elements. But you will still need some source of water supply in your territory, right?” Brant said, swiftly proposing a new idea.

Leo thought for a while.

“Yes… We cannot always rely on people to replenish our water supply. But how will we get a source? You already know we cannot dig, since instead of water, we will get Howl’s blood.”

Brant raised his brow.

“Howl? The name seems oddly specific. Back to the main point—yes, we will not dig a hole. That’s for backwards-minded people who still believe only digging holes is the best way when we have so many beasts around us.”

Leo frowned.

“Again, beast? You already know I have limited slots in which I can tame beasts, and I am not the type of guy to kill my tamed beasts for new ones.”

Brant waved dismissively.

“Not all beasts need to be tamed. I am sure you already have an example in your territory,” Brant said.

It clicked for Leo.

“Bigfoot!”

Brant raised his brow again.

“You indeed are unique with names, but that’s right. A domesticated beast,” Brant said with a small smile. “Now you really think fish would need to be tamed to keep in check—uh…” He recalled something and corrected himself. “Well, many cannot even be tamed, but I am not talking about those. You understand, right? Passive fish that just know how to swim and eat?”

Leo nodded.

“But how will they act as a source of water?”

“Well, the ones that I have in mind are magical beasts that continuously condense water around them passively. So, you just need to construct streamlines that can hold flowing water—which I suppose will be quite easy with your earth manipulation—and throw the fishes in them. Depending on the numbers, within hours, the whole base of the lines will be covered in water, and in just a day or two, you will have a continuous supply of water.”

Then he recalled something.

“Well, since you will be taking them away from their natural habitat, I suggest you throw the leftovers of beast material eaten by your beasts in the stream. And don’t worry about it getting dirty, since those fish would completely digest them, not even generating waste. And if you even want to be free from all those hassles, just bring some phytoplankton from the lake and plant them in a specific area of the stream… a pool sort of area.”

Brant looked toward the plateau region.

“Build it at the top, and I forgot to mention—they can swim upstream, so no need to keep them trapped there.”

Leo nodded.

“Those are some interesting fish… but where will we find them?”

“Where means what? I will take you there. And I suppose you might have already seen Samtal Lake on your way to Barfila Mountain, we just need to travel 800 Kilometres ahead to reach Gehra Lake”

Leo’s eyes widened.

“We will go there?”

Brant nodded.

“Afraid to swim?” he asked cheekily.

“No… But I have never seen any beasts of the waters.”

Even in his previous life, the largest animal was a water animal. But if beasts here on land itself spanned kilometres, which he had personally seen, he could only imagine what a beast in the category of a blue whale would look like.

“How long are we going to stay there?” Leo asked.

“Depends on finding the targeted fish. I have a rough idea as to where they will be. We might return soon,” Brant said with a shrug.

“You won’t take me sightseeing?” Leo asked, with the same cheekiness.

“Ohh, sure, sure. Just so you know, the last time I visited Gehra Lake was a decade ago, and at that time, the largest beast—more like the largest beast I could approach—was a Peak 6-star Gloomwhale Devourer. Nothing large, just a 10-kilometre-wide beast that rests 10 kilometres beneath the surface water of the 4356-kilometre-wide lake, to be specific,” Brant replied with the same smile, without any stir in his emotions.

Leo’s jaws were left wide open.

That’s fucking as deep as the Mariana Trench! And just as wide beast?! That too under a fucking water body that’s termed ’lake’!

“Cough, may I know the exact depth of this Gehra Lake?”

“Yeah, sure. Nothing much, just 14 kilometres deep at the deepest part.”

Leo wasn’t even surprised anymore, so he asked something that might surprise him.

“Uh… so what’s the deepest part in the whole world?”

Brant thought for a while, stroking his beard.

“Well, we have only explored like 50% of the total landmass that we have discovered, and as for the ocean—that our Emperor found—because apparently what we thought were oceans were actually seas… small seas. So, back to your question, I would say the deepest path that has been discovered is around 160 to 170 kilometres.”

With all the buildup Brant had provided, even that number didn’t shock Leo.

Just how big is this fucking world!!!

He didn’t even know how many times had he been surprised by just the descripting on the world where he magically appeared.
