Chapter 429: The White Star Clan
Chapter 429: The White Star Clan
Leaving the Mermaid Island.
Embarking on the Journey of Love once more.
The task requirements in the Journey of Love were simple, just two lines of text.
There was no need to elaborate on the first part.
After all, they had already set sail with their ship from the City of a Thousand Sails.
The only possible hindrance to completing the task was the latter part.
"Embarking on the Journey of Love again..."
Lindsey pondered as Anthony continued to express his gratitude to Wah Wah Wah.
For the entire crew, the time Wah Wah Wah had fought for was undoubtedly crucial to their successful escape.
Everyone was aware of the girl's kindness towards them.
At that moment, Lindsey interjected, "Anthony, are you planning to find your lover?"
Anthony scratched his head awkwardly, "Well, I was thinking of finding Nana as soon as I get off the ship."
"But this city is so vast, completely different from the small island I lived on. I don't even know where to start searching."
Wah Wah Wah placed her hand on her chest and said enthusiastically, "Let me take you there!"
"A district in the City of a Thousand Sails is equivalent to a megacity in other worlds. It's not easy for newcomers to quickly find a gateway."
Anthony shook his head hurriedly, "How can I trouble you with my personal matters? I'm sorry, I don't want to inconvenience you any further!"
Wah Wah Wah smiled and replied, "How can it be a bother?"
"The Red Sea Leviathan you summoned was our greatest helper in escaping Mermaid Island."
"Now that you're in trouble, it's only right that we lend a hand!"
Hearing this, Lindsey, who was still observing the task bar, chimed in, "Anthony, don't be shy at a time like this."
"We're friends who escaped from Mermaid Island together. Helping each other within our means, there's no need to refuse."
Anthony's eyes showed a hint of emotion, and he nodded vigorously, "Alright, I understand."
"Thank you, I..."
Anthony choked up a little.
He had originally come to the City of a Thousand Sails under immense pressure, facing disdain and rejection from his lover's family.
Now, encountering such warm-hearted friends, he couldn't help but be moved.
Wah Wah Wah smiled and said, "Just accept the help! Now... well, if you want to see your beloved, it's best to get a good night's rest and dress up before setting off tomorrow."
Anthony naturally couldn't refuse, "Then, see you tomorrow morning!"
They agreed to set off together the next morning.
Lindsey and Wah Wah Wah entered the estate and were assigned a room by the staff.
They stepped into a well-equipped suite.
Wah Wah Wah rushed to the balcony, opened the window, and looked outside, complaining, "The space here is quite spacious."
"But the only downside is that we can't get any real sunlight."
"Lindsey, I also have a studio here. I'll take you there another day."
Lindsey asked, "If you have a house, why don't you live there?"
Wah Wah Wah turned to Lindsey, twisting her body, "Well, it's my studio, and it might feel a bit cramped for two people."
"And..." The girl continued, her voice lowering, "And I don't want you to have a bad impression of my room."
Lindsey waved his hand dismissively, "There's no need for that."
"I'm only passing through the City of a Thousand Sails using the teleportation array. I won't be staying for long."
Wah Wah Wah recalled their first conversation on Catal Island, "Lindsey, I remember you were heading to the City of Law?"
"You're not going there to save a world engulfed in war, are you?"
Lindsey shook his head, "My hometown is there, but my family and home are currently unaccounted for."
"Whether it's revenge or self-salvation—returning home to confirm the truth with my own eyes is my top priority."
Hearing Lindsey's explanation, Wah Wah Wah's expression became a bit somber.
The girl walked back to the bed and jumped onto it, spreading her body out, "Home..."
"If I must say, my hometown is Black Tide Island."
"That place has already been completely torn apart by the Art Association. Perhaps, among the sunken paints, you can find a hint of your hometown's colors?"
"..."
Lindsey was speechless for a moment.
Most people have homesickness, but according to Wah Wah Wah, her hometown was a base for fallen artists who created forgeries.
"Lindsey, let's play some music!"
At that moment, Wah Wah Wah jumped up from the bed, enthusiastically inviting Lindsey:
"I don't need to rest anymore!"
"If you don't satisfy me today, you won't get a good night's rest!"
"..."
The next morning.
After a whole night of merrymaking, Lindsey and Wah Wah Wah finished their breakfast and headed out on time.
Anthony was already waiting for them at the entrance of the estate.
The three of them walked together, stepping out of the painted space and returning to the sunny streets of the Purple Zone.
"The weather in Thousand Sails City is mostly sunny throughout the year."
"The place we're going isn't close, so it's best to bring enough water. If you're afraid of the sun, you should also buy a sunshade umbrella—oh, I heard that craftsmen have developed a sunscreen ointment. If you're interested, you can try it out..."
On the way, Wah Wah Wah meticulously introduced the life in Thousand Sails City.
After walking for a while, she didn't forget to explain the district divisions:
"The Purple Zone where we live is in the due west direction, and it's home to artists who excel in creation. As for the Kuwait Family, they are a clan that evaluates art, and they live in the Green Zone in the southeast."
The three of them moved counterclockwise through the city.
From the due west to the southwest, they reached the Blue Zone, where performers gathered, and various theaters and concert halls were common.
As they traversed through the city, they saw vast areas with grand theaters and magnificent venues.
Houses for living were mostly attached to these buildings.
On the streets, apart from necessary living facilities, there were almost no independent residential areas.
However, as they moved further east into the Green Zone, where art connoisseurs and other personnel gathered, the cityscape gradually shifted away from the luxury of the Blue and Purple Zones.
The buildings in the Green Zone were quite normal, or rather, they clearly had professional designers making plans.
Markets, residential areas, and water and land parks were all neatly arranged.
Inside the homes, one could occasionally see private docks and sunshade umbrellas on the terraces, giving a sense of peaceful living.
"The housing prices here are quite expensive, you know!"
Wah Wah Wah introduced to the two behind her:
"Art connoisseurs, relatives of diplomatic personnel, historically significant families, and wealthy immigrants to Thousand Sails City all like to settle in the Green Zone."
"The Kuwait Family is also quite well-known here."
Saying this, Wah Wah Wah led Anthony to their destination.
A family with a Seventh Stage strongman naturally had no shortage of wealth.
An estate as luxurious as a resort, which could only be placed in a painted space, occupied a piece of land in the city.
Passersby and sailors passing by often cast respectful glances.
"..."
"Th...Then, I'll go in!"
Seeing the estate before him, Anthony swallowed hard, mustered his courage, and knocked on the door.
The Kuwait Family did not turn him away.
After Anthony went in, Lindsey and Wah Wah Wah waited at the entrance.
In his free time, Lindsey observed the surroundings.
He noticed a special detail on the Kuwait Family's doorplate.
While the doorplates in the Green Zone varied in design, they all maintained a green color as the main tone.
However, the doorplate of the Kuwait Family had something more.
Besides the aesthetically pleasing wave and sea monster design, it also featured a striking white seven-pointed star.
"Oh?"
Wah Wah Wah noticed Lindsey's gaze.
The girl patted Lindsey's shoulder and immediately explained the key point on the doorplate:
"Lindsey, this is called the White Star Emblem."
"Families that have produced an Eighth Stage Awakener, either now or in the past, can engrave a white seven-pointed star next to their family crest."
"In Thousand Sails City, the White Star Clan is a highly honored title!"
