"Sea fish! Sea fish meat!"
The lips turned up, and the sharp shark teeth exuded a cold and sinister look as the scales fluttered. The Polluter laughed grimly.
The sea water piled up into huge high-rise waves, and the night pearls in the deep sea emitted soft and dim halos. The alley was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the windows and doors of the surrounding buildings were tightly closed.
The sharp claws scratched frantically, tearing off pieces of scales.
Eventually the polluter was forcibly suppressed by the mermaid guards.
"I'm not wrong! How could I be wrong! God--ah!"
The polluter struggled violently, with veins bulging on his forehead. Before he could finish, Hagen, who arrived in a hurry, ordered his men to cover his mouth and send him to the water dungeon.
After the storm calmed down, Hagen's face was filled with fatigue and solemnity.
He sighed and bowed his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, but you should stay out of the streets. Yingzhou has been a little uneasy lately."
Hagen held an important position, coming and going in a hurry.
...
...
The fishy smell in the sea water faded. Lu Zhi pondered for a moment: "We must first find out how the polluter came, and what happened to God..."
The men followed her gaze—the altar.
As a respected high priest of Yingzhou, Eric must know the secret.
As a human messenger who can communicate with the gods, the high priest concealed the truth about the sea god from the entire mermaid tribe.
"The problem is," Hao Shuai said hesitantly, "He hasn't even revealed a single thing about his own people. Can the three of us pry him open?"
"They have an inexplicable urge for blue fish tails."
Yuan Shuo, who was standing behind Lu Zhi, took a few steps forward and spoke suddenly.
Lu Zhi's eyes lit up: "Could it be?"
Yuan Shuo raised his lips slightly, with a smile in his eyes: "Not bad."
Scratching his head, not understanding what they were saying in sign language, Hao Shuai waved his hands frantically: "So what should we do? How about we just rush in, and then..."
He chuckled, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Lu Zhi shook his head and turned to look where the Sea God was looking.
It is the oldest and most important building in Yingzhou. The long river of history has evolved and changed, and pens, ink and inkstones have recorded the vast events that have taken place. There are tens of thousands of books in the Mermaid Library, and there must be things they want to know.
"No," Yuan Shuo answered on behalf of Lu Zhi, "He will invite us back sooner or later."
In response to Yuan Shuo's confidence, Hao Shuai just twitched the corners of his lips.
......
The Mermaid Book Pavilion has the architectural style of a classical Chinese garden, with carved beams and painted buildings, which is extremely beautiful.
No one jumped out to stop them on the road. Hao Shuai's heart gradually settled down, and he chatted with Lu Zhi in a casual manner.
After crossing the high threshold, Yuan Shuo looked around the familiar yet unfamiliar library, and moved among the stacked bookcases with ease.
His abnormality did not attract the attention of the other two.
The three of them split up and quickly flipped through the thick book.
The library is cleaned regularly, and there is no dust on the bookshelves.
Turning over the yellowed pages, the originally complex and twisted heavenly book changed in Lu Zhi's eyes. She knew every word and read them without any effort.
"I found it! It turns out that you two, Sister Lu and Brother Yuan, have such identities! So suitable for showing off!"
Hao Shuai swung his fish tail noisily, envy and resentment in his eyes almost overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and he swung the ancient book in his hand while speaking.
Lu Zhi put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf intact, and swam to Hao Shuai with Yuan Shuo.
She lowered her eyes to look at the ancient book in his hand.
The cover of the ancient book is thick, wrapped with a thick layer of patched bandages, and it feels quite old.
The corners of the book are obviously folded, and the indentations and the plush edges show that it has been flipped many times.
Hao Shuai pointed and the two looked over.
"The blue-tailed mermaid is a test messenger left by the sea god in the world. After passing the test of the high priest, the test messenger will go to the oracle."
"Through communication with God, the moment the oracle came down, the king of Yingzhou was born!"
The communication with gods is called festival by the local mermaids.
No wonder the cub said that, Lu Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
Since there is more than one assessment courier, there must be other players with blue fish tails.
In a flash, Lu Zhi had an idea: "Could it be that the remaining ten players are already in Yingzhou?"
There is another possibility - the original twenty players were divided into two groups, one on the island and the other in Yingzhou.
Hao Shuai raised his eyebrows and continued to speculate: "Is there two opposing camps in this game? Choosing the right or wrong choice will cost a life."
Lu Zhi nodded: "The camp may be related to the god they mentioned."
Haiyingzhou is the name of an isolated island, and the sea area where the mermaids live is called Yingzhou. There must be some connection between the two.
"Do you still remember the look the polluter gave us?" Hao Shuai couldn't help but frown as he recalled the disgusting scene, "and what he said."
【Sea fish! Sea fish meat! 】
The scene of the hideous-looking polluter shouting wildly emerged in their minds, and a bold guess unfolded before their eyes.
"Could it be that the fish-headed people in Haiyingzhou are the polluters of Yingzhou?!"
If the fish-headed man is really a polluter, he would not be welcome on the island and would also be hated by everyone in Yingzhou. It's really miserable to think about it.
Hao Shuai smacked his lips, feeling that his guess was both absurd and inexplicably reasonable.
We cannot jump to conclusions right now.
If we are not careful, everyone's thinking will be limited and led astray, and it will be extremely difficult to get back on track.
I searched in the Mermaid Book Pavilion for a while.
In the corner, Lu Zhi looked up at the scroll hanging on the wall.
The man in the scroll seems to be a god from the previous Yingzhou. There is no need to exaggerate his appearance and temperament.
Stroking her chin with her long fingers, her dark green eyebrows slightly furrowed, the more Lu Zhi looked at the person in the painting, the more she felt that he looked very familiar, as if she had met him there before.
But how is this possible...
The previous king died inexplicably a hundred years ago.
In the following years, countless blue-tailed mermaids appeared in Yingzhou, but none of them received the oracle from the sea god.
A faint shadow shrouded the woman, and Lu Zhi took a half step back after reacting.
After seeing that the person coming was Yuan Shuo, she curled her lips in annoyance: "You walk without making any sound, are you a rat person?"
Her eyes fell on the man's handsome eyebrows, and an elusive light flashed through Lu Zhi's mind.
Before she could think carefully, Yuan Shuo said calmly: "You were too engrossed in watching. I have been standing behind you for a long time."
Hearing this, Lu Zhi choked.
She hurriedly left a few words and swam away.
Withdrawing his gaze from the pretty figure, Yuan Shuo raised his eyes with trembling long eyelashes, stared at the painting with his unfathomable black eyes, and his lips were pursed until they were straight.
It's just an identity... How can it be worth it...
After taking a deep look at the male mermaid in the painting, Yuan Shuo's fingertips moved slightly.
The water flow condensed into a small whirlwind is very destructive.
As he slowly raised his hand, a short call made him pause.
It was the little Shin God who was calling him.
Yuan Shuo's eyes, which were filled with black mist, suddenly lit up. He ignored the painting, turned around and swam down the stairs quickly.
After failing to find any other useful clues in the library, the three decided to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the door, Hagen, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed slightly and said, "The high priest wants to see you. Please come with me quickly."
When Hao Shuai heard this, he looked at Yuan Shuo with sharp eyes.
He followed Lu Zhi with a normal expression, no more than half a meter away from her, neither distant nor overly intimate.
It's a very comfortable position.
Hao Shuai sighed in his heart.
The purple light emanating from Yuan Shuo is different from that of other players. Perhaps he is the king that Yingzhou has been waiting for for many years!
