Chapter 3960: Changes and Challenges (Part 1)

"I hope you like this place." Lith said to his guests. "I asked Grandma to follow the blueprints of our dream house."

"It’s very cozy." Orion appreciated both the craftsmanship and the lived-in ambiance of the tower’s new form. "When are you going to build this for real?"

"When things quiet down for more than five minutes." Kamila sighed. "There’s no point in having a dream house if you have to spend most of your time in a safe location to protect the lives of your friends and family.

"Without Salaark’s help, we wouldn’t have enough space for everyone, and even if we did, at that point we might as well stay in the Mansion."

"I’m sorry for bothering you for so long." Jirni gave Kamila a deep bow. "We moved into your home months ago, and we’ll probably still be here for Lith’s birthday in a couple of months."

"You don’t need to apologize, Jirni." Kamila forced her friend to stand straight. "That came out wrong. I wasn’t blaming anyone. I was just trying to explain why Lith and I have never moved from Lutia.

"Even if the threat of the Gernoff was resolved, we couldn’t build our dream house anyway. Setting arrays powerful enough to stop Meln and his Upyrs would cost too much and take too long.

"What I’m trying to say is that this is supposed to be our dream house, not a fortress."

"I like it!" Garrik ran along the wide corridors of the tower as he explored the place. "There are so many doors and even Fluffy has his own room."

"I appreciate the thought, but I doubt I’ll spend a minute in it." The Byk sighed.

With his training routine, the children’s games, and Garrik’s habit of sleeping hugged to his fur, Fluffy was rarely alone.

"You don’t have to thank me. Thank Grandma." Lith said.

"Thanks, Grandma." Fluffy wasn’t afraid to face the Guardian’s fury.

Not with Garrik sitting on his back.

"You are welcome." She snarled. ’Before you step outside, I must warn you of the danger that awaits you.’

The use of the mind link and the Overlord’s somber tone made everyone swallow hard.

’How can someone threaten us while we are under your roof, Mother?’ Raaz asked. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

’It’s not a physical threat, child.’ She explained. ’I would never allow you to be in harm’s way. The danger I’m talking about is for your senses and the good relationship with your hosts. Let me show you.’

Salaark projected the current appearance of the merfolk village in their minds to let the shock wash over their faces before they saw the real deal in front of the welcome committee.

Everyone grimaced, their faces twisted in disbelief and disgust. Even the children found nothing of their liking, no matter how hard they looked. Had the merfolk witnessed the Verhens’ reaction, they would have been offended, and the visit would have started on the wrong foot.

"I’ll go out first." Lith said. "Remember, no comments, okay?"

"Kay." Valeron and Elysia nodded.

"And I’ll accompany you." Kamila said. "You guys wait a few seconds before coming outside. Let the merfolk focus on us."

’The only silver lining is that at least everyone is fully dressed.’ Kamila said via the mind link.
