Chapter 452: Transformed into Fish
Sander stared blankly at the small fish that kept flopping around in the water ball.
Well, after looking at it for a while, it seems quite cute.
Thor also came over, looked down at the unusually active little fish, and smiled: "She still remembers you and is very excited to see her brother."
Sander's throat moved, and he suddenly turned around and walked into the bedroom holding the water ball.
Saul heard a clanging noise in the bedroom, and then Sander came running out again, holding a water ball in one hand and dragging his heavy, huge suitcase with the other.
He almost pulled the heavy box up into the air, and when it hit the ground heavily, the bottom wheel broke and flew out, rolling to an unknown corner.
Sander didn't care about the damage to the box, he just put the box down and opened the lock with trembling hands.
The lid of the box opened, revealing a girl with messy hair inside.
Xander lowered his other hand, bringing the water ball closer to the girl's body.
"Come back, Midor."
But the human-faced fish did not react at all. It just continued to swim happily in the water ball, occasionally popping its head out.
"Come back, Midor, this is your body." Sander was a little anxious.
"You may have misunderstood." Thor said, "Miduoer is dead, and the soul of the dead cannot return to the body. She can survive in this strange form now entirely because of some special power. But this power has been cut off, and the remaining energy can only keep her going for a short while."
Sander looked up blankly, his lips trembling as he said, "But you see, Miduo's body is still intact. Legend has it that after the soul is found, can't it return to her original body?"
"You also know that's a legend." Agu couldn't help but interrupt, "For ordinary people, the souls of the living and the dead are different. The moment she died, her soul was already damaged and deteriorated. Even if you force her to resurrect, she may not be the same person when she comes back. You might as well cherish the last time."
Agu looked at the strange-looking human-faced fish with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Thor looked down and noticed something. He squatted down and reached out to touch Midor's original body. "There is a kind of magic power in Midor's body that supports her from being corrupted. But now this power is beginning to weaken."
His eyes shifted to the golden hairpin in Midor's hair, "Is its energy running out?"
Just as Thor finished speaking, Sander and Agu's eyes shifted to the hairpin on the girl's head. Suddenly, the golden hairpin turned into a stream of light and injected into the center of the mermaid's eyebrows.
The body of the girl who had lost her golden hairpin turned into dark, dry bones in an instant.
"Miduoer!!!"
Xander couldn't help but yell as he watched his sister's body disappear.
Over the years, his sister's body, which had not decayed at all, had been his spiritual support. Now it had suddenly turned into bones, which dealt a heavy blow to Sander.
However, the next second, the fish in Sander's hand jumped hard and completely broke away from the water ball. It twisted its body in mid-air and swept its tail, hitting Sander's nose.
Sander was stunned for a moment, and the sadness that was about to burst out was suddenly awkwardly frozen in the middle.
Saul smiled and said, "She's telling you that she's here, not there."
"Then...then..." Sander hesitated for a long time, then suddenly his shoulders slumped and his brows relaxed, "That's good too."
Then he raised his head and looked at Thor with a serious expression, "Should I buy a fish tank or something? What does Midor eat? Can she eat cake or fruit?"
Thor's expression also turned serious.
Miduoer, who originally possessed the fish, did not need to eat.
Eating fish cannot provide energy to Midor who is in the residual soul state.
She wouldn't survive long at all.
Even if we maintain the minimum consumption, it can only last seven or eight days at most.
But when the golden hairpin entered the fish's body, the unstable soul inside the human-faced fish seemed to become much more solid.
"The witchcraft structure inside this golden hairpin seems to be more complicated than I expected."
However, the witchcraft on the hairpin has now taken effect on the fish, and it seems to be a witchcraft prop that stabilizes the soul and body.
The power of this witchcraft item is not great, and it can only lock onto a residual soul like Midor.
It cannot restrain stronger spirits.
With the help of the hairpin witchcraft props, Midor's spirit can survive through some simple ways of replenishing energy.
It's just that these energies basically come from wizards' materials, which means they are expensive.
Judging from Sander's clothes and residence, he didn't have much savings.
Seeing that Thor remained silent, Sander also became nervous.
He seemed to have thought of the answer, and his face turned pale again.
He opened his mouth but didn't dare to express his guess.
Thor finally decided to let Sander make his own decision.
After all, it was Sander who wanted to raise Midor.
"Midor's current state is unusual. According to the speed at which her energy dissipates, she can last about half a year with the golden hairpin. But after that, she will completely dissipate."
Seeing that Sander's body began to shake, Thor continued, "Unless you can replenish her energy regularly. But no matter what kind of energy material it is, it is very expensive. You have to be mentally prepared, otherwise you may end up losing both your money and your life."
Thor took out a pen and paper and wrote down a material and a rough price on it. Then he put two fingers together, pinched it between his thumb and index finger joints, and handed it to Sander.
Xander looked down at his sister who was playing carefree in the small water ball, but gritted his teeth and reached out his hand.
Just as Xander was about to touch the white paper, Thor suddenly turned his wrist and dodged the other's hand.
Xander looked at Thor, confused.
"What is the secret about Blue Water Bay mentioned in your letter? I want to see if it is worth what is written on this piece of paper."
The knowledge of wizards is naturally valuable.
Sander pursed his dry lips and said, "I have been making money by managing the documents and archives for the mayor of Blue Water City. Although they are just some unimportant records, I will also look through them when I am sorting them out..."
"I found a record of the entry and exit of the City Lord's Mansion," Sander subconsciously lowered his voice, "I found that a wizard lived in the City Lord's Mansion before Blue Water City moved, and after other wizards left Blue Water City one after another, he still stayed here."
These clues didn't sound like they could explain anything, but Thor thought of the broken wine glass he had just obtained and hadn't found its original owner yet, so he quickly asked, "When did Blue Water City move?"
"About twenty years ago."
"But I remember you said you came here by boat more than ten years ago."
"Yes. At that time, in order to prevent the townspeople from being killed by the soul tide, Bluewater City had to move to a farther barren area next door. Although Bluewater City moved away, the dock remained for a while. It was not until nearly 10 years later that it was gradually abandoned because there were almost no cargo ships entering the port."
"So, is there anything else suspicious about that wizard?"
"There is one thing that is particularly suspicious. I checked the temporary outing plans of the City Lord's Mansion and found that every time the wizard left Blue Water City, a soul tide would occur shortly thereafter. And he would wait until the tide was over before returning."
Ahhhh!!! I finished writing it last night but didn’t post it!!!
I'm so sleepy!!! My perfect attendance!!! (End of this chapter)
