Chapter 960: Floco Suffers
"This place is quite far from both Iskeper and State Continent, and is not on the sailing routes of ships or airships from the two continents."
"And this place is relatively less polluted."
"Then can we just settle down here?"
Dozens of mermaids were chattering, and everyone's face was full of hope for the future.
Coral looked at the people in front of her with a smile, feeling very relieved. Five years ago, who would have thought that the mermaids could live so freely?
"Coral, Hailan, come here for a moment."
At this time, the voice of Floco, who had been away for a few days, sounded in the ears of the two mermaid leaders.
Coral and Hailan looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.
"Lord Floco, you're back?" Coral's tail has almost healed, but the injury she suffered has consumed her talent, and now she is no different from an ordinary mermaid.
But now she is equivalent to the think tank of the mermaid tribe. When Floco is not around, even Hai Lan will obey her unconditionally.
"Lord Floco, are there any wizards out there chasing us now?" Hai Lan asked. If there were, he would definitely be willing to fight alongside Floco.
"The Court of Arbitration does not have the energy to hunt you down for now," Floco said, "but we must also restrain your people and keep them from going out. The black tide has just passed, and it is time to reproduce. There are only a few dozen mermaids now, which is too few."
Coral and Hailan both blushed slightly, but they also understood that this was not the time to be shy when the survival of the tribe was at stake.
"Next, I will go to various places to look for lone mermen. As long as we can increase the number to more than 300, we will be able to survive."
Hailan and Coral both agreed solemnly.
"You guys go back first. I'll call you if I need anything."
Hailan was actually a little reluctant to let Floco go, because he was too powerful, many times more powerful than Mr. Blackfish. Now Mr. Blackfish has sacrificed himself for the freedom of the mermaids, but fortunately, Mr. Floco appeared at the last moment and saved them from the evil wizard.
It's just that Mr. Floco is very cold and appears less often than Mr. Blackfish. This means that Hai Lan, who admires the strong very much, never has the opportunity to spend more time with him.
This time, Hailan finally couldn't help but invite Floco to go to the bottom of the sea to see the new home they had decorated themselves, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Lord Floco looking at her coldly.
His heart trembled, and then he was pulled to the bottom of the sea by the coral.
But Hai Lan didn't know that Floco's glare at him was not out of impatience.
But...
"Floco, I thought you died at the hands of Sir Cat, but I didn't expect you to escape back to the wizarding world."
Floco just felt a powerful and hidden mental force approaching. He swallowed what he was about to say and ordered Hailan and Coral to leave.
Anyway, two weak mermaids shouldn't attract each other's attention.
But he didn't expect that he actually knew the person who came.
"Douglas? You're back too?" Floco asked in surprise, "Didn't you say there's nothing you want here anymore?"
"Haha, there was no such thing before, but there is one now, isn't it?" Douglas floated in the sky, looking down at Floco standing on the sea, "You don't know?"
"Know what?" Floco asked coldly.
"It seems that you were so busy raising fish that you never paid much attention to this world. Do you still not know that the source of pollution in the abyss is actually the corpse of a sixth-level wizard?"
Floco widened the water elf's blue eyes, "Level 6...corpse?"
"Yeah, you never expected that. An existence that has the power to destroy a world will eventually die. So, as long as you haven't reached the seventh level, the essence of life is the same. It's just a cycle of life and death."
Floco was silent. He was also a fifth-level person who had been to the outside world and had seen the market. He knew how terrifying a sixth-level corpse was.
But if Douglas did not lie to him, and the source of pollution in the abyss was indeed a sixth-level corpse, then his previous interpretation of the black tide was probably wrong.
Some things may be completely different from what the wizarding world knows!
"You?" At the same time, Floco suddenly understood the reason why Douglas came back. "You don't want to use that sixth-level corpse to advance to the sixth level, do you?"
Douglas was once a famous fifth-level wizard in the wizarding world. In order to be promoted to the sixth level, he committed countless murders.
But even if there were multiple powerful wizard organizations hunting him down at the same time, they still couldn't do anything to him.
But even with such a powerful fifth level, he still hasn't found a suitable way to advance to the sixth level.
Now facing a sixth-level corpse, it would be strange if Douglas was not tempted.
"Think carefully. The underlying logic of destruction cannot be achieved by simply devouring it."
Douglas's mouth curled up slightly, "You don't have to worry about that. You should do something more important."
Floco's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately half-sank into the sea. "What do you mean?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"For example, providing a tiny bit of help for the great cause of advancement to the sixth level? For example, your life?"
Douglas finished speaking, raised his hand and stirred it violently in the air. The end of his hand disappeared, and the air around him was stirred up like oil paint.
Floco turned and fled into the sea as soon as Douglas finished his first "for example".
The water spirit's blue body quickly turned transparent and merged into the sea. But even though he had already escaped a thousand meters in advance, he was still sucked into a whirlpool.
The sea around him seemed to have turned into a canvas covered with thick oil paint, and he and the sea were being muddied by an invisible hand.
Floco opened his mouth in pain, but couldn't utter a word.
The hand had already turned his waist and tail into a paste. Floco immediately mobilized the surrounding seawater to replenish his blue body. At the same time, he endured the pain and turned himself into an almost invisible stream of water.
Floco has not yet recovered his fifth-order strength, and is no match for Douglas, who is at the peak of the fifth order. There is only a slight chance of escape in the deep sea.
However, he still underestimated Douglas.
He was a powerful fifth-level wizard who had traveled in the starry sky for a hundred years, not an unlucky guy like him who was sealed and imprisoned at the bottom of the sea by Lord Cat as soon as he got out.
As soon as Floco's body turned into transparent water, he felt that the world around him seemed to have turned into a colorful, overly jumping oil painting, and then he himself merged into the painting. With the waving of the brush, his original shape and color gradually changed, and he gradually lost himself.
"save……"
Floco's voice also turned into a vague dot on the canvas.
Douglas had a blank expression on his face high in the sky. In his opinion, defeating Floco was a matter of course. Now he just needed to extract Floco's soul and then give some to Ophelia. Then the latter would be able to obtain a way to connect the two soul fragments.
I thought Ophelia could only gain enlightenment through herself, but I didn't expect to find a fifth-level wizard in this closed wizard world. I have to say that Ophelia's luck is pretty good.
However, just as Douglas was about to completely extract Floco's soul body, a thin white thread suddenly appeared on the surface of Floco's spiritual body and wrapped around it more than ten times, with the ends of the thread extending to the invisible distance.
Douglas's movements just stopped there.
After a moment, he chuckled, then actually let go of his hand and released Floco's soul.
"Well, Ophelia, it seems your luck is not so good. This Floco has been bound by Thor."
