Sniff sniff.

"This smell!!?"

"Herbert's scent, my scent, and... someone else's scent!"

Somewhat familiar, seems to have a hint of water.

Is it that mermaid he talked about?

"Wait, is this smell... brought from another cage by him? No, that's not right!"

At this moment, Valentina's eyes sparkled with wisdom, her long-unused brain began to work rapidly.

"She's come here!"

"But why is she able to leave her cage?"

Valentina squinted her eyes, pondering what it meant.

She thought about it, was about to give up when an idea appeared in her mind.

"She... she also has the eligibility to go out with Herbert?"

In the past, she never felt that way.

As if the thought just emerged, the corresponding answer began to gradually reveal itself.

Miss Hungry Dragon blinked, recalling the scenes during the legacy, she muttered, "Is this the wisdom dragon's legacy that old thing talked about?"

During the acceptance of the legacy, she held no hope for this ability, but now it seems... it might be more useful than the old dragon promised!

The brain, it's useful!

In other words, have I finally become smart?

Valentina was about to be excited when a thought suddenly emerged, making her freeze.

"What? It's not that I've become smart? It's just... using my original ability?"

"Huh?"

Even with Valentina's previous intelligence, she could understand what this thought meant.

"What do you mean! Are you saying it was my problem before!!?"

My brain isn't dull; it's my problem for not using it?

Valentina was furious.

Especially when she thought of the definite answer, she became even angrier.

"Hmph!"

"No way! That wasn't my problem!"

Miss Hungry Dragon angrily shook her head, then chose to directly ignore the voice in her head.

How could it be my problem?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Wait, that means even without this ability, I can come up with the correct answer."

To prove herself, she blocked out the answer by her ear, turned, and stared at a spot not far away.

There, only half a meter away from the edge of the bed where she just woke up.

"The scent is strongest here! Both of their scents are mixed together!"

"Hmm? What did they do?"

Valentina thought it over, looked at the ground, and tilted her head, confused.

What did they do here?

Fought?

Perspired?

"Scents, two people, sweat..."

At the tenth second, Valentina seemed to think of a possibility.

At the twentieth second, she seemed to see a scene from the past.

After thirty seconds... Valentina gave up thinking and comfortably lay back in bed.

"Forget it, why think, just wait until they come back and ask directly."

End of thinking.jpg

She tried, she worked hard, she failed.

If I can't think of it, I can't think of it!

As for the wisdom dragon's legacy, it's quite useful, but she still needs to adapt for a while.

"Speaking of which, where did those two go?"

"Back to the Royal City again? Or went to chop wood? Or went somewhere else?"

"Herbert, when will you be back... Hmm?"

Thinking about it, Valentina sniffed carefully again, blinked somewhat puzzled.

"Eh?"

"Why is there a sea smell?"

"Did they go to the seaside?"

.

The next day.

Herbert sat on the beach, quietly watching the red sun slowly rise from the sea horizon, and nodded distractedly.

"Giant dragons, slightly higher body temperature, strong physical strength, exaggerated endurance, but explosive state cannot be sustained."

"Strong curiosity in various exercises, and prefer to take the dominant position."

"But lack of dexterity, like using brute force... improved techniques after multiple guidances."

"Very obedient, never doubts any request, believes anything said, exceptionally cooperative."

Thinking for a while, his mind wandered back, reminiscing about last night's experience.

"Sea sirens, low body temperature, warm, average physical strength but unexpectedly good endurance, very resilient, no explosive power, are passive receivers."

"Practical thinkers, lots of ideas, and willing to put them into practice, finger dexterity maxed, well-suited for playing instruments, technical master."

"Equally obedient but understands the true meaning behind each request, I suspect she may know more than me."

"Hmm, a hidden old pro!"

"Moreover, exercising in the water is indeed easier than on land... the assistance of waves saves a lot of trouble."

Herbert watched the rising sun, contemplating the philosophy he felt in the rhythmic waves.

Using force against force, leveraging small efforts for great impacts.

Soft overcoming hard can also show amazing sustained effects.

"This is—— the Second Law of Sunrise!"

He slowly stood up, stretched lazily.

Herbert looked at the rolling waves and smiled.

"I'm leaving, come find me after you're done."

Responding to him was a series of bubbles.

Glug-glug——

Miss Mermaid is currently in the sea assessing the conditions for building a port—— but that's just an excuse.

Fremay, although very daring while on the surface, daring enough to do some astonishing acts.

But she is somewhat different from Valentina, who is very willing to follow her heart and actively pursue her aim.

After waking up, she returns to normal, becomes quite shy, and after using the exploration excuse, she hides in the sea.

Herbert sees through it without pointing it out, feeling relieved inside.

It seems in the short term he doesn't need to worry about being forced into crazy activities.

Some things, whether done actively or passively, give quite different feelings... hmm.

"Well, although I like both anyway."

Whether active or passive, I like them just the same.

Herbert bid farewell to Fremay, walking back to Elda Territory with light steps.

He looked at the still-comatose Steven and chuckled playfully, "Since you're awake, why don't you open your eyes."

"Or, I could let you sleep a bit longer."

Swish.

Hearing this, the poor middle-aged man, who hadn't moved at all, suddenly jolted up from the floor.

"No, no, no!"

"Angel, sir! Please, please don't let me sleep again!"

Steven painfully held his head, crying miserably, "I truly didn't see anything!"

"Really!!!"

Just spare me, please!
