He stood up and walked into the darkness.
A black mist floated in the groove of the wall. This is a hidden room with no light around, only sporadic blue fireworks burning.
"You killed the Great Elder." There was a look of anger on his face, "He is from the same group as us."
That was a good partner. Now that he was killed by the demons, the Pope couldn't think of any other demons.
The black mist trembled, and the hoarse voice laughed twice, as if the rusty blade was rubbing against the wall, making the hair on the back stand on end, "I'm not that free."
Alarm bells rang in the pope's heart, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean, you are not the only devil in this world?"
For his question, Heiwu ignored it. He seemed to be talking to himself.
"Are you awake yet?"
The Sea of the Dead is hidden in the depths of the ocean.
And at the boundary leading to the Sea of the Dead, there lives another race.
This is one of the ancient and mysterious races in the world. They live in the deep sea, far away from the mainland. They often appear in the beautiful arias spoken by bards.
When she stepped into this underwater palace, Qiao Xiyin also thought so. Those bards were not exaggerating.
The sea water gradually moves towards the two weeks of sight, revealing a gorgeous and solemn palace. There is clearly no light on the seabed, but the palace is strangely filled with bright sunlight.
Twelve milky-white stone pillars carved with ancient patterns stand on both sides of the palace. Golden statues hold sharp tridents and stare ahead. Walking forward along the corridor, your steps float in the water. The untouchable road is paved with pearls and gems, reflecting the colorful light.
Mermaids are a race that appreciates beauty. Their harshness on beauty is second only to the elves, and they are always synonymous with beauty in the mouths of poets and writers.
Two silver forks fell from the sky, blocking the path of Qiao Xiyin and He Yunchao.
However, the mermaids wearing silver armor are all women.
Before Qiao Xiyin could speak, the two mermaids looked at each other first, then dropped their weapons, and one of them actually wiped his eyes.
"Oh my God, how can I have such perfect black hair?"
"Your deep eye sockets really fascinate me. Are you the pearl sent to us by the God of the Sea?"
The mermaid's voice is beautiful, and each person sings out the tone in one sentence. It is soft and numb, making people's hearts beat wildly.
Their gazes were sincere and fiery, never leaving He Yunchao's face for a moment.
Qiao Xiyin was already burning.
unacceptable
In front of her, they completely ignored her, and then began to praise Yun Chao in all kinds of ways.
He Yunchao was even more confused than she was.
The hot gazes of the two mermaids made him feel uncomfortable all over, and the sound made his skin crawl even more. He took a step back expressionlessly, held the little girl's hand to show comfort, and said softly, "Your Excellency, can you speak nicely?"
The mermaid was choked with sobs and leaned towards He Yunchao, "We haven't seen such a perfect face for a long time. Please come with me. We want to take you to see the Queen."
Qiao Xiyin couldn't calm down at all.
This is the hostility of women. Are they so enthusiastic about He Yunchao as if she doesn't exist
It was only because He Yunchao kept holding her hand that she suppressed the attack and followed him obediently, led by the mermaid, towards the depths of the palace.
The palace in front of me was hidden even deeper.
When you step into the door, the water waves float, and the appearance in front of you changes again. This is probably a secret door that only designated people can open. If you walk forward rashly, you will only touch the illusory waves.
Along the way, there were guards on both sides, as well as passing mermaids. Strangely, they all have one thing in common: they are all female.
There is no merman.
Also, the way they looked at He Yunchao was the same as that of the two mermaids.
This look was not of admiration, but of admiration that turned into reverence.
So what did He Yunchao do? During the war between humans and demons, the mermaids obviously belonged to the third world, but they were on the side of the light. Isn't He Yunchao's demonic characteristics obvious enough? Shouldn't the mermaid regard him as an enemy
The Mermaid Queen sat on the throne at the end of the palace.
She stood up, the pearls on her wrists colliding with each other, and there was unconcealed admiration in her eyes, "What a perfect face."
This is a very young queen, not much older than Qiao Xiyin. The mermaids favored by the Creator do not age, and their age can only be judged by the scales on their tails. It is obvious that the Queen's true age is much greater than her appearance.
She asked her subordinates to offer seats to Qiao Xiyin and He Yunchao.
"Friends who have come from afar, the mermaid clan has not had visitors for too long," the queen said in a good mood, "What can I do for you?"
Books say that mermaids appreciate beauty, and Qiao Xiyin probably felt that the mermaids who had always been arrogant were too polite to them.
"We want to enter the Sea of the Dead." He Yunchao came to answer. His tone was gentle, "I beg you to open the door to the Sea of the Dead."
The Mermaid Empire is the only way to the Sea of the Dead. After the war between humans and demons, they even blocked the main road leading to the Sea of the Dead, making it impossible for outsiders to enter and for the undead to escape.
"Yes," the queen said with a smile, looking very friendly, "but the door to the Sea of the Dead cannot be opened easily. You must pay a price. If you are willing to stay, I will let you pass."
There was undisguised enthusiasm in her eyes, and her voice was soft, as gentle as the waves, as if she wanted to drown people in the undulating waves.
The little girl next to me stood up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty the Queen, is this something done by a mermaid clan that prides itself on being a bright person? Why does it use such despicable means?"
He Yunchao's eyes were clear, and although he didn't speak, his expression was cold.
The queen covered her lips and smiled, "I'm sorry, the charming voice is the nature of the mermaid, and I accidentally failed to restrain it. I haven't seen such a pleasing man in a long time."
Qiao Xiyin looked at her. She was petite and cute, half inferior to the Queen in appearance, but her aura was no less impressive.
After playing dumb for so long, it’s time to talk about business.
"Why did the mermaid clan become like this?" She pointed out the key point of the problem, "There is no male left."
This seemed to reveal the Queen's scars.
She took a deep breath and maintained her graceful appearance, "It wasn't because of the war between humans and demons a hundred years ago that the mermaids did not take sides, but innocent people were involved in the war. The magicians invited by humans did not distinguish between friend and foe, and they fought off the undead. But they don’t know that the undead and the mermaids are only separated by a sea, which has caused the mermaid clan to be cursed.”
"It's been a hundred years. There has never been a male in the mermaid clan's newborns. Mermaids have difficulty reproducing and have a long lifespan. Every time a newborn is born, they receive the blessing of the entire clan. We have lost a large number of males in that war. No new babies were born, and over time, only women remained.”
"We have also tried to combine with humans from the outside world, but humans are too weak. We cannot deceive powerful mages, and ordinary humans who are weak cannot withstand our power. Among the newborns, there are males who cannot bear the curse at all and die early. She licked her lips, "Demon King, the mermaid's wizard had a prophecy long before you arrived. I know what you want to do. I am willing to cooperate with you, as long as the powerful demon next to you contributes to the mermaid." "
She had long understood Qiao Xiyin's intention, but she kept it secret.
Qiao Xiyin also smiled.
"So, Mr. Yu, I do want to lend him to you."
He Yunchao became silent.
This little girl
"But for personal reasons, it's not okay." She held He Yunchao's hand and clasped his fingers. "I don't agree with the behavior of taking someone's favor. I'm sorry, he can never give it to you."
She really has a "fight if the worst happens" attitude.
"I was claimed"
He Yunchao asked the system in his mind.
The system doesn't want to pay attention to him.
He chuckled, "The little girl is quite fierce like this."
system""
You may have forgotten the time when she was more fierce.
Oh, of course he doesn't remember.
"Oh," the Queen sighed, "this really makes my conscience uneasy."
The wizard predicted that the devil would bring good news to the mermaid. She thought that the devil general beside the devil was the good news. Unexpectedly, the Demon King refused to give in and stood firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Thank goodness she has such a good attitude.
So what's going on with this prophecy? The prophecies made by wizards for mermaids are never missed.
Qiao Xiyin raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we discuss it. I'll help you bring some people with strong magic powers."
Before he finished speaking, there was a voice from behind the door, "Your Majesty, wait a minute."
An old man appeared outside the palace, leaning on a cane. But the crutch was suspended in the sea water, still not touching the ground, and she swam over with a swaying fish tail.
Seeing her, the Queen was obviously stunned for a moment, and stood up to help her, "Master Wizard, why are you here?"
"The new demon king will bring good news to the mermaid clan," the wizard repeated the prophecy. "Your Highness the demon king, do you know that there is an eternal flower growing in the North Forest of the Western Empire of the human world?"
everlasting flower
Another eternal flower.
Qiao Xiyin nodded, "Of course."
The wizard held the Queen's hands and said excitedly, "The Immortal Flower is nourished by the blood of the demons. It absorbs the essence of light and darkness. It is a vital medicinal ingredient in breaking the curse. Your Majesty, if we can find the Immortal Flower, we, the mermaid clan, will be able to find it." There is help”
That's what the prophecy means
The queen's expression changed slightly.
Qiao Xiyin and He Yunchao looked at each other.
The mermaids are looking for the Flower of Immortality because they have been cursed by humans against demons. So, why would the Great Elder look for the Immortal Flower
In his room, there is also the Book of the Dead. The undead clan are followers of the demon clan.
He Yunchao stretched out his hand, and the small light yellow flower floated on his fingertips, "Is this it?"
