Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 25: The Sealed Siren Prince
"Little Magician...... Little Magician......"
Delcora snapped his eyes open.
There was a gray fog in front of him, and he stretched out his hand, but he couldn't see his fingers. I have become a chaotic place.
"Little Magician...... Little Magician......"
A vague voice echoed in his ears, ethereal, near and far.
β...... Subconscious world?" Delcora was stunned, "Who invaded my mental space?"
This is the deep subconscious world that every magician will come into contact with, and it is the basis for magicians to be able to release their mental power to communicate elements. This "world" is not a real space, but a virtual small world formed based on its own subconscious and spiritual powers, which is something that the brain creates itself to help magicians understand the illusory thing of "spiritual power", similar to a self-protection mechanism. Every magician comes into contact with this while meditating, and it stands to reason that every magician's mental space is different.
Since the release of spiritual power is the foundation, the release of spiritual power can naturally also invade the spiritual world of others. But this operation is still more complicated, it requires enough strength to suppress or the opponent's complete defense, and even if it succeeds, it doesn't really mean much, and it is impossible to kill the opponent by invading the spiritual world as written in some legendary novels. I heard that there are scholars in Randmond who are researching to connect the outgoing spiritual powers of many people together and build an external large-scale virtual world for play or training.
In the subconscious state, the mind is more divergent than usual.
"Who? is it a high-level demonic beast from the Sunset Mountains?" Delkora looked around, but didn't find anything outside of the fog, "What's the matter? you want to tell me or warn me about something, are you asking me to leave the Sunset Mountains? We're going to leave soon." β
"Don't go...... Help me ......" The voice paused for a moment, and the voice suddenly became much clearer, "I am sealed in the crater of the Sunset Mountains......
"No, I don't. Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Del Cora refused without hesitation, "I've seen a lot of this kind of routine, the protagonist team must be some kind of world-destroying demon released, and then the continent falls into war, and the protagonists have to spend a whole book of time crusading against it and solving the mistakes they made - if that's the case, my dad will definitely beat me." β
β...... What are you going to say?" the voice didn't understand, and was stunned for a moment.
"I say, I suspect you're lying into tricking me into opening the seal for you and unleashing a particularly evil guy," Delcora yawned (yawning because he has no physical presence in the spirit world), "I look like I'm sleeping, don't I? β
"I am not an evil person...... I will not bring war to you...... I've been sealed here for a thousand years...... I don't want to stay any longer...... My name is Moccarus, Mocarus Achias, and I was the prince of the Siren...... I'm not a bad person......"
Del Kora's refusal seemed to make the voice agitated, and he studied, incoherently poured out a lot of information, desperate to prove that he wasn't going to be the bad guy Del Corra thought. He spoke of many unfamiliar names of people and places, seemed to mention a battle or dispute, and some names and titles that might have belonged to heroes - but Del Cora didn't listen.
All his attention, from the very beginning, was drawn to a familiar word.
"Wait a minute, you wait a minute!" Del Cora stopped the voice's meaningless narration, "you say...... Kraken? You say you're the Kraken Prince?"
β...... I am the Siren Prince, my full name is Mocarus Achias, and the elves call me the Tide Caller...... So save me! I've been trapped in this crater for too long, and you're the only one passing by! I can feel, I can feel the power of the seal weakening, and if you do what I say, you'll be able to break it......!"
"Wait, wait, don't talk yet, let me calm down!" Delcora exclaimed excitedly, even overshadowing the mysterious voice that called itself Mocarus, "Happiness came so suddenly, I suspect I'm dreaming nowβhey, Mocaros, you're really a Siren!"
"Really, a real Kraken! I'm sealed in an active volcano, there is no water element here, my body is drying up, I don't know how long I can last, please do what I say......"
β...... Really, I thought it was just a small episode, but I didn't expect it to really start an epic mission. Are we really destined to deal with these troubles?" Delcora sighed, "Okay, I get itβI'm assuming you're telling the truth." Tell me, how can I help you unseal the magic array?"
"I'll draw you a map, you see, here, you ...... like this"
ββββββ
Del Cora opened his eyes.
It was still night, and it was dark in the tent. He blinked, got up and lifted the tent, a bonfire was lit outside, and Assas kept vigil alone. He was surrounded by several orbs of holy light, reading a thick book by the light.
"It's not time for a shift change yet," Assas glanced at him, "what's wrong?"
"It's okay, like a lot of legendary novels, I've got an epic mission. He sighed, "Satya, Satya, are you awake?"
"Thanks to some unlucky guy, I've been awake for a long time. A dark shadow flashed, and Satya's heavily armed figure appeared beside Del Kora, "I feel the abnormal mental power fluctuations in your body. I thought you were going to advance. β
"It's more important than that. Del Cora cleared her throat, "My mental space has been invaded. β
Assas looked up. Satya had a look on her face.
"Who is the other party?Is there any powerful magical beast in the Sunset Mountains?" Assas closed the book, finally earnest, "What do you mean by the epic quest you just said?"
"It's not Warcraft, it's something more unexpected. Del Cora paused, "he said he was a kraken. β
"Siren?" said Satya and Assas, stunned.
"Yes, as you think, we will solve the problems that should be solved by us. "A guy who calls himself Mocarus Achias, Prince of the Siren, has invaded my spiritual world, saying that he has been sealed in a mountain pass in the Sunset Mountains and wants me to break the seal - he sounds a little nervous, he must have been sealed for a long time, and he is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. β
"Aichias?, this surname must have appeared during the Elven Civil War. Assas took out a thick general history of the Race Federation from his spatial ring, and found what he needed without much effort: "Achias is a relatively powerful tribe of Krakens, belonging to a branch of the Tide Callers, and was specifically responsible for communicating with the Race Federation when the Thorn Elves were in power. This tribe supported the Thorn Elves in the Elven Civil War, and later the Thorn Elves perished, and the leader of the House of Aichias died on the battlefield. And then there is no information about them. β
"He calls himself the Prince of the Sirens and not the King of the Sirens," Delkora thought for a moment, "At least during the Elven Civil War, the Siren's society would still be a mixture of chieftains and tribal confederations, and each tribe would only have one Siren King, but there could be many. Moccarros ...... Moccarros ...... Is it mentioned in the book?"
"Not at all. Assas shook his head, "There are very few records of the Kraken in the history books of the Racial Federation that are in use now, and the Kraken should have been relatively powerful at that time, and there were several Holy Orders that appeared on the battlefield, but they didn't even record their names. β
"The Racial Federation has never wanted to mention this history, after all, they are the first initiators of the war if they really need to be studied in detail. Del Cora smiled, "But it deserves to be sealed here, and to be sealed here for so long without falling, this Mr. Mocarus should be very strong...... Is it a holy order?"
"Impossible...... Isn't the Holy Order a kitten or a puppy, can you meet one so casually?" Satya was the first to express her suspicions, "and I still have doubts about his identity. I don't think we should unblock him lightly. β
"It's not easy to unblock...... I have a few ideas that you can analyze. Del Colamo rubbed his chin, "First of all, this Mr. Mocaros's body should indeed be sealed, and only spiritual power can leak out, right?"
"Hmm. The two agreed.
"Secondly, if he was sealed in the Sunset Mountains, as he said, I analyzed the way he broke the seal he gave me, it should be true. I don't need to say more about the harsh environment inside the crater, and there is a volcanic eruption here for a long time, in this environment, even the Holy Order will not be better, his current physical condition must be very bad, agree?"
"If he really is a Kraken, the effect is even more severe for him," Assas nodded, "Agreed. β
"Again, we really unearthed the skeleton of the Kraken here," Delkora pointed to the fish-man undead, "it never appeared out of thin air, the guy sealed in the crater must have something to do with it - since that guy calls himself a Kraken, whether it is really the Kraken Prince, or someone who has taken the identity of the Kraken Prince, he is not too far from the era of this undead, after all, no creature with a normal IQ will associate the Sunset Mountains with the Kraken." This skeleton has been buried for more than a thousand years, and no matter how the mysterious creature survives a thousand years, it will only be in a state of extreme weakness now. Even if he was really a saint rank, how much strength could he exert?"
"So, can you give it a try?" Assas looked up at him earnestly.
"You can give it a try. β
Del Cola smiled confidently.
