The next day.
Soren prepared to leave the camp and head to the Northern Region to invite Gloria to come.
The Northern Witch was their only high-level spellcaster with whom they had a good relationship, and there were some vague feelings that Soren had for her, feelings that no one could pinpoint when they emerged. Perhaps it was during their encounter with the God of the Hunt’s believers or maybe it developed over time. But one thing is certain: Gloria, the Northern Witch, held a high place in Soren’s heart, as she was one of the few people he would think about.
Strictly speaking, Soren was a very indifferent person!
To have someone like him think about you means a lot.
Vivian seemed a bit reluctant about Soren’s temporary departure, but she was still a child at heart, and once she discovered her new toy, she immediately became happy again. She had received a new gift, a very cute cat girl who was only seven years old this year, two years younger than Vivian, but appeared to be about the same size due to her race. This small cat girl was Vivian’s maid, and although she was still clumsy and couldn’t do anything yet, the little girl believed she could train her to become a first-class maid.
It’s strange.
This cat girl, who had shown aggression towards anyone else, including Soren, became unusually docile and obedient when encountering Vivian, almost like a domesticated kitten. Perhaps it was because they were about the same age and looked similar, or maybe it was due to Vivian’s incredible charm. In any case, this cat girl became very obedient after meeting her, posing as requested and playing whatever role Vivian wanted. The little girl took out all her exquisite dresses that she had collected but never worn, changing the cat girl into one after another, even giving her a bath and dressing her up like a doll.
With this cat girl around, Vivian would surely be very happy during this time!
However, Soren felt a bit frustrated because he had originally thought that once Vivian had tamed this wild cat girl, he could see how she differed from ordinary people.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the little cat girl saw him approaching, she immediately showed her teeth and acted as if she wanted to pounce.
As expected!
The treatment between people is different. Those with high charm get to enjoy much more.
No wonder so many lazy people chose Sorcerer as their core profession back then!
………………
Vivian had a playmate.
Although it was not a normal human, but a small beastman, Soren was glad about it because the little girl was sometimes quite lonely.
In the past, Soren rarely had time to accompany her due to his struggle for survival, and even during their escape, he did not have much time to spend with her.
Now with countless matters and the impending Saint’s Cataclysm, it could be said that Soren found it even harder to casually rest and accompany her. So having a cat girl of about the same age by her side should make the little girl much happier.
Yes.
Vivian was much happier.
Because she had a companion. Although it was a cat girl, the little girl named her ‘Lulu’ since the cat girl could not talk yet. Besides some strange, incomprehensible sounds, she could only meow and shout ‘LU~LU~’, so her name became 【Lulu】. Lulu was a very playful, obedient, and well-behaved cat girl who was also very cute. After being cleaned, she looked stunning, almost like a delicate doll, making one unable to resist hugging and playing with her.
However, there was also a hint of worry in Vivian’s heart.
Because she was a little afraid that Lulu would be spoiled by Lilian! Recently, Lilian had shown a significant interest in this cat girl!
She hoped Lilian wouldn’t go overboard.

Soren set off.
However, he did not bring too many people, only preparing a warship and secretly controlling a ghost ship.
The round trip to the Northern Region would probably take nearly a month because he also had to stop by Taro Port and Shipwreck Bay to handle some matters. Unlike other pirate kings, Soren had a strong grip on the waters and had much higher demands on his subordinates. This trip to the Northern Region to invite Gloria also required him to arrange some necessary matters because, after all, no matter how strong his subordinates were, they were still much less effective than Soren’s own arrangements. Otherwise, the Red-Haired Pirate Woman, Adele Isabella, wouldn’t still be missing.
It seemed she had failed.
Convincing a pirate to collaborate with a proud wizard by offering a pile of stones was indeed very difficult, and if luck was bad, even the meeting would be hard to arrange.
Sailing was a very boring task.
The first day passed blandly as Soren and his crew returned along the original route.
This situation continued until the third day when he finally saw something interesting amidst the shouts of his pirate subordinates.
A fish surge.
Or more professionally, a fishing run!
Many types of fish in this area had migration habits, and what appeared before them were some spring migratory fish. Soren didn’t recognize most of them, but he did spot a fish about two meters long that resembled ribbonfish, shimmering with silver scales, swimming in noticeable groups in the seawater. There were also some creatures that looked like shrimp but were somewhat different from the giant lobsters he had seen last time. Who knows what rich resources lay in this ocean that had not been developed by humans.
“Look over there!”
The lookout on the warship suddenly shouted, and everyone turned to look in the direction he was pointing.
Sharks.
Soren saw quite a number of sharks.
The fishing run was a harvest season for the indigenous people, and it was also a harvest season for other creatures in the Overseas Islands. However, the shark people appearing in the distance did not seem to be catching fish; they looked more like they were driving the fish schools in a certain direction. There were quite a few shark people, and Soren could see at least hundreds of them, among which there were thirty to fifty large trained sharks. These shark people were active within the range of the fishing run, occasionally emitting strange calls or blowing some special conch.
They quickly noticed Soren and the others.
However, after one shark man riding a great white shark came closer to observe, he avoided Soren’s warship and continued to busy himself, and both sides passed without incident.
Soren silently watched all of this.
His expression fell into contemplation, seemingly recalling something.
