Chapter 1066 - It Is A Waste Of Talent If You Don"t Become A Mangaka

Mag looked at himself in the drawing, feeling a little confused.The distinct black-and-white uniform, his face with sharp features, that iconic moustache, and the restaurant behind him with the signboard “Mamy Restaurant” all highlighted his identity.

It was indeed he who appeared in the revelation picture that Gina drew.

What was going on now? Could the God that brought him here be the same as the god that this world believed in? Or was he targeted by some other gods again?

Mag couldn’t figure it out, either. This was way beyond the limit of his understanding.

He looked at the first picture again. There was a thick darkness above the altar that made people feel suppressed, and the merfolk’s facial expressions were full of expectation and hope as if they were praying for the appearance of God.

After the revelation appeared, the merfolk were looking at him in the scene with ecstasy, which was similar to Gina’s expression when she first saw him.

But, what did this have to do with him?

No matter how one looked at him, he looked like a chef and not a savior, right?

Mag looked at Gina. He wanted to know what happened next, or what the meaning behind this divine revelation was.

Gina raised her eyes to look at Mag, and then continued drawing.

The fourth picture quickly appeared underneath her pencil.

In the picture, Gina appeared. She was standing in a circular teleportation portal. The high priest in black and the middle-aged merman wearing a crown were standing next to the altar. Further away, crowds of merfolk were surrounding the teleportation portal. They were all gazing at Gina in the teleportation portal.

“Is Big Sister Gina the hope of her whole village?” Amy mumbled.

“It sure looks like it.” Mag wondered. After looking at those four pictures, he roughly knew why Gina had appeared here.

The merfolk were inspired by the revelation to search for the person in the scene, and he was the Chosen One that the merfolk were looking for.

Gina was chosen as the representative of the merfolk, and she took a ride on the ancient teleportation portal to get here. Very luckily, she had soon met him.

A mermaid who could not survive on land, Gina, the merfolk princess, came on land with a one-way ticket without any hesitation just because of a revelation that appeared suddenly.

What a stupid idolization.

Wasn’t it akin to playing her life?

“Why?” Mag asked. He still couldn’t understand why the merfolk did that.

It was quite nice to live under the sea, right? Why did they have to come up to the land?

Gina saw Mag’s doubts. She thought for a moment before drawing on the paper again.

It was a black screen that hung horizontally above and blocked all light. Merman after merman launched an attack against the black screen. Some fell down after they were injured, and others just died inside the black screen. However, not a single one of them could go through the black screen.

Even though it was just a stationary picture, everyone felt a little suppressed looking at it.

“What is that?” Mag asked Gina, speaking slower than usual.

Gina put down her pencil and shook her head with an equally perplexed expression, but she quickly took up the pencil again and continued drawing on the paper.

The altar activated, and she appeared in the middle of a desert. She was walking carefully on it, with a smile on her face and a gleam in her eyes. Everything she saw had never appeared underneath the black screen.

A change of scene, and she appeared in the middle of a barren canyon. That was the location of her second teleportation.

Even though her surroundings were barren and she had lost her source of water, her expression was still bright.

The scene changed again, and she appeared in the middle of the restaurant. Mag, who was emitting golden light all over, appeared again and saved her like a savior.

Maybe I have my own special golden light effects in her eyes? Mag raised his eyebrows and tried not to laugh.

A picture of Gina waking up followed after. She still had that blissful smile on her face, but she had a big bubble wrapped around her head which was filled with water. She obviously didn’t fit into this world.

The scene changed again. Mag, with his own special golden light effects, was holding a little wooden hammer in his hands. There was an egg that emitted golden light in front of him.

“It’s the Beggar’s chicken!” Amy was the first to recognize it.

“What does it have to do with Beggar’s chicken?” Yabemiya couldn’t understand.

“Gina, most likely, was able to breathe on land after she ate the Beggar’s chicken,” Mag said thoughtfully. He knew about that.

As expected, the next picture was Gina eating a piece of mud casing and the beggar’s chicken with her hands.

The water bubble burst, and Gina discovered that she had gained the ability to breathe on land. In the picture, she opened up her arms to hug this world with a pure smile on her face.

Everyone couldn’t help but smile with her too. They felt that they were healed by this story.

Gina’s pencil didn’t stop. The scene changed. Under that black screen, hundreds of merfolk were still gazing upward hopefully as if they were expecting something.

“Smack.”

Gina put down her pencil and looked at Mag. Her expression was just like those of the merfolk looking upward under the black screen. There was hope in her eyes too.

The restaurant was in complete silence.

Everybody’s gazes landed on Mag.

The silent pictures had depicted the struggles of the merfolk living under the black screen vividly, and all their hopes were directed onto Mag alone.

“Father, why don’t you make more beggar’s chicken for them? They look so pitiful,” Amy said adorably with pity.

Mag wasn’t in a hurry to make his position known. His gaze swept across the pictures on the table. Deducing from the pictures, the merfolk should be trapped at the dark bottom of the sea by some kind of seal or curse. Their location should be deep under a sea somewhere.

There weren’t any coordinates, nor any specific depth.

Although he already had a 7th-tier power, he didn’t have the ability to deep dive under the sea, nor could he breathe at the bottom of the sea. Moreover, it was impossible for him to make beggar’s chickens for them at the bottom of the sea.

Even though he did pity Gina, he really wasn’t a savior. He couldn’t make any promises so hastily.

“This place. Where?” Mag asked Gina, pointing at the first picture.

“Lan-tis-de,” Gina said haltingly.

“Lantisde.” Mag repeated after her. Although he didn’t know where this place was, this name might become an important point of breakthrough.

There was a knock at the door, and Miya went to answer it. She swiftly called out at the doorway, “Boss, he says he is here to pick you up.”

“Okay, I am coming,” Mag answered. It seemed like Miss Scheer’s people were here. He kept away Gina’s drawings and couldn’t help praising her. “Gina, it is a waste of talent if you don’t become a mangaka[1]. Your drawing style and storyboard are both at genius level.”

“Mangaka?” Gina repeated after Mag as she looked at him perplexedly.

[1] A person drawing manga, that is Japanese comics.
