The door opened and closed, and Hagen's back disappeared from sight.
They turned around and looked at it carefully.
The interior of the room was elegantly and simply decorated. The curtains embroidered with gardenias were loosely held up by a golden string, and a figure was lying on the bed in front.
"Are you the unknown mermaids that appeared out of nowhere?"
The bony fingers gently lifted the veil that covered the figure, and a handsome man swam out from behind.
The close-fitting black iron armor outlines his powerful muscles, his abdominal muscles are clearly defined, and his light blue fish tail sways gently.
Klein narrowed his eyes and scanned the three people's tails, his gaze pausing for a second between Yuan Shuo and Lu Zhi.
"Come forward."
Klein opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a magnetic and cold voice behind him.
He nodded slightly and stepped aside, leaving enough space for them to pass.
...
...
This made it clear to them that the person on the bed was most likely the high priest.
"The high priest."
The ethereal voices of the three people floated in the sea and were washed away by the current.
Only when I got closer did I see clearly what the high priest they were talking about looked like.
Her long snow-white hair was casually draped behind her, with a few strands of hair playfully running off the bed and floating in the sea water.
Eric's eye color is also white. He seems to be suffering from albinism. From head to tail, it is all plain white, just like his personality, cold and abstinent.
The huge fish tail swayed upward, and Lu Zhi caught a glimpse of a different color emerging from under his clothes.
She lowered her eyelids and her eyes moved slightly.
Eric sat upright on the bed, his emotionless eyes gently sweeping over them, his fingers drawing circles in front of his eyes.
The invisible water flow swirled around the three people under his deliberate guidance.
It was like eating a mint candy or smelling the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Lu Zhi and the other two felt that their mental fatigue was swept away and their souls became much more relaxed.
"Let them out."
No signs of contamination were found, and they were not the group of people who disguised themselves for the sneak attack.
Eric waved his hand, and Klein, who was standing beside him, nodded and led the three people away.
"Excuse me, what happened?"
Klein's expression was really too solemn, so Hao Shuai, who was pushed out to lead the charge, asked in a low voice.
Since the high priest had investigated him, Klein did not hide it.
Of course, he couldn't hide anything. After all, everyone knew about it. Even if he didn't say it, others would tell them.
Klein sighed, "A polluter has appeared in Yingzhou. We haven't elected a destined king for a long time..."
He turned his head away, hesitant to speak, his slightly twinkling eyes clearly not telling them everything.
After leaving the Star Altar, Klein will send you here.
The appearance of these three people caused quite a stir in Yingzhou.
Wandering aimlessly in the streets of the city, Yuan Shuo was suddenly grabbed by the corner of his clothes by a pair of chubby, white hands.
He lowered his eyes expressionlessly and looked over.
The mermaid seemed very nervous, but also very excited. His fish tail kept swaying. "Brother, are you here to participate in the festival?"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the man's flowing azure fishtail, and stars twinkled in his big eyes.
Noticing that Yuan Shuo, who was walking at the end of the team, had not caught up, Hao Shuai and Lu Zhi turned back.
"Festival?"
Hearing the cub's words, Lu Zhi asked in confusion, "What is the meaning of the festival? My two elder brothers and I came from another sea area."
The little cub raised its chin proudly, not thinking there was anything wrong with Lu Zhi's wording, and wiggled its tail proudly and longingly.
The milky voice was filled with a hint of joy: "The festival will choose the king of Yingzhou!"
This hope did not last long. He lowered his head in disappointment, and his energetic fish tail also drooped. "It has been many years since a miracle has come. We all suspect that the Lord of the Sea does not want us anymore..."
Unable to bear to see the floppy cub sad, Hao Shuai looked into his tearful eyes and comforted him softly: "The Sea God will not abandon his people and believers. He will definitely hear your prayers."
After sending the cub away, the three of them unknowingly returned to the central square.
Sitting on a soft seaweed bench in the square, Lu Zhi looked up and stared at the weeping stone statue of Poseidon.
The longer you stare at it, the more obvious the illusion becomes - the statue of Poseidon seems to be alive.
His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and his misty blue eyes, filled with compassion and love, stared at them for a long time, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips rose imperceptibly.
"Lu Zhi...it's all confusing...please be sure..."
The ancient voice seemed to reach her ears from the bottom of her heart. The statue in front of Lu Zhi gradually blurred, and the thick fog made it impossible for her to see what was happening in the water.
The wildly surging sea water swept across Yingzhou, and in the fog, two huge figures were entangled and fighting.
Before Lu Zhi could rush forward, her eyes suddenly blurred and a large hand with distinct joints was shaking up and down.
Under the thin skin, the blue veins were clearly visible, and the thin and powerful wrist bones flashed by, replaced by his eyes.
There was obvious worry in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Zhi, are you okay?"
The woman's voice gradually became weaker during the conversation. When Hao Shuai and Yuan Shuo turned their heads to look, her pupils lost focus and she slowly stood up and walked towards the statue of Poseidon.
She looked like she was bewitched by something. In desperation, Yuan Shuo restrained Lu Zhi and forced her to wake up.
"What did you just do?"
Hao Shuai came close to her, looked into her eyes and asked her.
Lu Zhi retracted his gaze from the statue: "I seemed to see the statue come alive, and then--"
She briefly explained what happened next, keeping it short and to the point, and the two men nodded thoughtfully.
The three of them planned to inquire about clues about the copy in Yingzhou.
Being able to get here means that Yingzhou is also an important clue in the copy, and they would not think that it is unimportant.
The city where mermaids live is piled with pearls and other treasures, which can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
After visiting more than a dozen companies, the information and clues we obtained were very different.
The simple thing is that the king of Yingzhou has not been born for many years, and the sea god no longer responds to their requests and prayers. They are the people abandoned by God.
As for the polluter that the mermaids mentioned—they had seen it.
…
Just after coming out of the alley, Hao Shuai looked like an eggplant hit by frost, his whole body was listless and he couldn't muster any energy: "It's the same few questions over and over again, and when you ask too many questions you start to be wary of us, is this crappy game going to let people survive or not?!"
The fluffy curly hair fluttered even more gracefully in the water, and a flash of light flashed across the corners of the angry eyes, which was caught by Lu Zhi and Yuan Shuo.
The two were about to say something when something strange happened without warning!
A black shadow flashed out from the shadows and rushed straight towards the silver-tailed mermaid who had his back to him!
The intense danger was like a cancer attached to the bone, and the alarm radar in Hao Shuai's mind kept beeping.
He dodged the sharp fingers that were cutting towards his heart at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and the attacks from Lu Zhi and Yuan Shuo beside him fell immediately.
The beautiful fish tail burst out with tremendous force at this moment, stirring up the sea water to flow back while slapping the sneak attacking black shadow hard.
“Hiss—Ah!”
Like the piercing and sharp cry of a bird of prey in the mountains, the black shadow was blown away dozens of meters, and the pain and wailing passed through the eardrums fiercely.
The patrolling guards who were alarmed rushed over and fought with the black shadow who had climbed up again.
The distance between them also allowed Lu Zhi and the others to see clearly what kind of creature was the one that launched the sneak attack.
The scales all over his body were a deep blood red, red to the point of being black. The scales that normally spread to his hips continued to climb up, covering half of his face and his naked upper body.
The black water floating out from under the fish scales was diluted by the surging water flow. The polluter's eyes were bloodshot and he looked at the mermaid with greed.
