Chapter 417: The High Priest of the Mermaid Tribe
As we all know, there are no telephones, telegraphs, or anything like that in this world.
The fastest way to transmit information is to use a teleportation array to directly teleport people over, either verbally or by letter. This is the quickest way to transmit messages.
In today's world, only the Dead Poets Society's Codex of the Dead and Amber's Magic Mirror can carry out real-time communication over ultra-long distances.
The Cyanobacteria Tribe was too small to set up an expensive teleportation array. Therefore, Nepres could only choose the most primitive way, swimming directly to the teleportation point.
After telling his people not to offend the two big figures in the world of the dead, Neprius got on his conch boat and let a dozen dolphins pull the conch cart forward.
These specially trained dolphins swam very fast, but it still took most of the day to bring Neprius to another large mermaid tribe.
It took Neprius several more hours to gain permission to use the teleportation array. When he left the teleportation array, his eyes were filled with gorgeous colors.
This is the most powerful Rainbow Tail Tribe, and the High Priest of Izoro is the leader of this tribe.
This tribe occupied an entire trench and decorated the surrounding area to be as dazzling as gems. The palace built of corals and shells sparkled in the dark blue light.
Neprius walked on a road paved with pearls, with seaweed swaying gently and schools of fish swimming among them. The interweaving of light and shadow made it look very dreamy.
Although the Blue Algae Tribe also has similar arrangements, the effect is far inferior to that of the Rainbow Tail Tribe.
Fortunately, there are not many rules among mermaids, and Neprius was soon summoned by the high priest Ariel.
The mermaid high priest was wearing gorgeous armor decorated with shells and corals. The trident in his hand was shining with colorful light, and even his face was covered with an exquisite red coral mask.
As everyone knows, this high priestess was actually the most powerful warrior in the Rainbow Tail tribe before she took over. Who would have thought that one day she would succeed the position of high priestess.
High Priest Ariel said in surprise: "Are you Neprius? I remember you. You were the second one to arrive at the tribal alliance meeting. Your tribe is at the outermost position, right? Are you in trouble and wanting help?"
Nepres wanted to say it was not a problem, but when he thought of the identity of the lich, he immediately changed his words and said, "The high priest is right. Our Blue Algae Tribe is in big trouble. The Lord of the Silent Night Sea came to my tribe with a lich and said he wanted to meet you."
"Lord of the Silent Night Sea? We mermaids have no grudge against them. Don't these undead spirits usually only fight with the shark-like merpeople? Why are they looking for me?" Ariel asked.
"He said he had important information to give to the goddess."
Nepres told the high priest exactly what Ambershu said, but Ariel said after hearing it, "Now is a critical period. I don't want to deal with those undead spirits. Although I haven't heard that the Lord of the Silent Night Sea has any intersection with those demonic rays, who knows what those undead spirits are thinking. I can't pray to the goddess just because of such vague information."
The gods are high and mighty, especially the racial god, who is the supreme "Father God" for the entire race. Every merman is extremely pious to Idrolo and dare not disturb this goddess at will.
The undead have nothing to do with mermaids, why did they suddenly come to our door?
In Ariel's opinion, the possibility that this was a conspiracy was very high.
Ariel said to Neprius, "Just tell them that I've been busy lately. If you want to meet me, you have to wait for a while. I'll contact the Silent Night Pirates again after I finish my recent important work."
Nepres was about to agree, but suddenly said, "High Priest, I didn't explain it clearly just now. I'm afraid this matter was not decided by the Lord of the Silent Night Sea. The one who really wants to communicate with the goddess is the lich, his name is Ultraman Tiga."
"Isn't it just a lich?" Ariel's eyes were full of confusion. Isn't it strange to have a lich in the Silent Night Pirates?
But soon, the trident in Ariel's hand shook, and she said in surprise: "Which lich are you talking about? Is it the lich that destroyed the dragons and the Githyanki?"
Nepres smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it is him. If it were not for this lich, I would not dare to disturb you at this time."
Ariel fell silent.
If it was just the Silent Night Pirates, Ariel could ask them to wait. Although the Silent Night Pirates were powerful, it was impossible for them to declare war on the mermaids just because of such a small matter.
But it won’t work if this lich is added.
The entire sea has heard of this lich's cruelty and greed. Even dragons were skinned and drained by him. Tens of thousands of Githyanki and Lion people have died at his hands. I heard that the reason was just that they didn't want to do business with him.
This is simply a tyrant among the undead. If I refuse to meet him, this lich is likely to launch an extermination attack on the mermaids directly, such as exiling all mermaids out of the world.
This is horrible, how could anyone in this world exile an entire kingdom?
Ariel didn't believe the rumor at first until the volcanic sea appeared in front of all the sea creatures.
Thinking of this horrible consequence, Ariel had to seriously consider meeting with Amber.
"This is a greedy, vicious, and vindictive undead. Why did he suddenly come to find our goddess?"
Ariel thought for a long time, but in the end she had no answer, so she could only say to Nepres: "I will go to the Blue Algae Tribe to meet the lich, you go back and get ready. Remember, be prepared for the worst."
Nepres nodded quickly and said very seriously: "I understand, High Priest, the warriors of the Blue Algae Tribe are not afraid of death."
Nepres hurried back to his tribe and met Ambershu who had been waiting for him for a whole day.
Only this time, in addition to the two undead ghosts, there was also an ugly human.
This man's face is covered with lightning-shaped scars, and he doesn't look like a good person, but he looks like a living person rather than a ghost.
Nepres first said to Amber, "The high priestess has agreed to meet with you two. Please wait for a while. She will come over after she finishes the work at hand."
Amber Xiu said strangely: "Why don't you invite us to her place?"
Neprius said quickly, "How can we let the guests tire themselves out? To show our sincerity, the high priest will come in person."
Amber laughed and did not expose Nepres's idea. These mermaids were probably frightened by him and did not dare to take him to the depths of the mermaid sea.
But it doesn't matter, Amber doesn't care about this detail.
The person he really wanted to communicate with was not the high priest, but the goddess Izoro. Although it was arrogant to say so, Amber Xiu really didn't need to deal with mortals now. Only the high gods were his focus.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing that Amberxiu did not get angry on the spot, Nepres breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Excuse me, who is this guest?"
Neprius was really afraid that Amber would say another outrageous name, and then Neprius would be so nervous that he would have difficulty breathing.
"This is Aiolos, my friend, and he also wants to see your high priest."
Fortunately, Amber Xiu just answered with a very ordinary name.
Neprius had never heard of the name Aiolos. Although someone who could be friends with this lich must be no ordinary person, he couldn't be scarier than this lich.
Nepres calmed down a little, and tried his best to use his hospitality skills to calm down the terrible guest Amberxiu, for fear that he would get impatient and turn hostile.
Amberxiu naturally wouldn't give Nepres any cold shoulder. Businessmen always greet others with a smile, even when stabbing someone in the back, they still have a smile on their face.
Even though Nepres's awkward chat was boring, Amberxiu could still chat with him for half a day without making the atmosphere awkward at all.
By the time Neprius was notified and Ariel arrived with her guards, the mermaid priest was surprised to find that four hours had passed.
He was so nervous when he greeted the lich, but he forgot the time while chatting. Nepres couldn't figure out when he completely let down his guard. This lich was more talkative and kinder than he had imagined. He was completely different from the image of a tyrant in the rumors.
Not only that, this lich was also very knowledgeable and his conversation skills were extremely high. During these few hours, Nepres felt as if he had taken a trip to the land. Just listening to Ambershu describe the beautiful scenery made him feel as if he were there.
The golden desert, the emerald jungle, and the mountains with constant thunderstorms... Before he knew it, Nepres was lost in these landscapes he had never seen before.
What a powerful lich, is it true that he is not under an illusion? Or maybe the rumors I heard before are wrong, this lich doesn't look that scary.
But no matter what Nepres thought, it would not be him who would have to face Ambersu next.
Tens of thousands of merman warriors marched in a mighty force, hovering above the coral reefs of the blue algae tribe, with the sea beasts they tamed pulling giant carved conchs.
Amber Xiu knew at first glance that this was not a nice-looking house, but a modified miniature magic tower.
There are fifteen conch magic towers like this one that are more than ten meters high. The huge magic power spreading out can be felt even by those who are not spellcasters.
Amber Xiu and Ai Ge looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that the mermaid was showing them her power.
But the two of them didn't take it seriously. They could really say that they had seen all kinds of big scenes. A few tens of thousands of mermaids couldn't shake them.
Amber said to Aiolos who was looking for Ariel: "Brother, I will let you see the Ariel High Priest later, but whether you recognize him or not, shut up and don't say a word, otherwise you are not my friend."
Aiolos said quickly: "I know. I swear to Talos, the Lord of Storms, if you don't let me speak, I will never say a word!"
Amber: ...
Are you really making a joke of Talos? Pretending to be a believer is fine, but are you not afraid of being struck by lightning if you swear by the gods?
