Chapter 110: The Siren Clan
"Well, I didn't expect you to have a deep knowledge of oil painting," Zeta picked up a grape from the fruit bowl and threw it into her mouth, "You can't see anything on the misty sea, where do you see the seaside huts and rows of coconut trees?"
"It's been a long time since I've been to the beach," Kasa said, depicting the fence on the paper in great detail, "It's been ten years since I last saw the sea." ”
"What's so strange about this thing, if you like to wait until you are old enough to come here to retire, and look at the blue sea all day long and admire those bikini girls on the beach, I guess your body will be unbearable," Zeta's small eyes under the mask rolled slightly, "If you buddy has enough money at that time, I can sponsor you a little." ”
"An iron rooster that doesn't pull out a hair, and he doesn't even bother to pay for dinner. Kasa was always unsmiling, as if he had forgotten how to smile.
After patiently depicting the sunset in the center of the paper, Kasa touched the rabbit's fluffy little head, and then put down the brush.
"If one day you leave the organization, I will have no doubt that you have gone to sell paintings for a living. ”
"Don't you want to know why I asked you out today?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. ”
"When is the time to act, you know, there's a limit to my patience. Kasa looked indifferently at the corner of the painting, the home that was once so familiar.
"Why? Can't wait to get back to the branch?" Zeta smiled slightly, "I've already asked the boss for instructions, you are not allowed to go anywhere until the mission is completed, if you have any needs, we will try to accommodate you." ”
"Zeta, don't digress, you know what I'm trying to say!"
"Well, save your sister, isn't that what you've been thinking about these days? Rest assured, I've entrusted someone to take care of her in prison, and no one dares to hurt her before I act. ”
"What about the warden named Cook, wouldn't he dare?" asked Kasa rhetorically.
"That guy is just an appetizer," Zeta fiddled with the delicate little pastry, never taking a bite to eat, "If he dares to hurt your sister, then I don't mind doing it in advance, even if it is against the orders of the organization, only me and you, I will screw his head off, but not now, the giant net has been cast, and I haven't seen the big fish swim over, how can I close the net in advance, what do you say?"
Kasa looked into Zeta's eyes, as if he saw a black sun devouring the light, and his pupils were extremely deep, not like the pupils of a normal person.
"You don't want to do it during the 'Lantern Festival', do you?" "Unless the decision-making level of the organization is a bunch of fools, it will not be picked on such a well-defended day, the elite troops of the Crusaders are under martial law throughout the city, and assassinating a state official on the day of the queen's death is tantamount to declaring war on the authority of the empire!"
"Hehe, don't guess, just be patient," Zeta smiled noncommittally, "All I can tell you is that the day of action is coming." ”
The time came to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the huge brass bell in the King's Park of Xinlan City, the Male Soul Bell, was rang by the imperial ceremonial soldiers who had been waiting here, and the mighty bell passed through the fog that was getting thicker and thicker and thicker, and the whole twelve thick bells were to announce the majesty of the royal capital of the Joses Empire to the foreign dignitaries who had already arrived, and it was also used to pay tribute to the warriors who sacrificed their lives for this land.
Only a few people noticed that at the moment when the "Soul Bell" was ringed, a huge roar pierced through the clouds and cracked stones came from the direction of the blue sea, just like the throne of the gods of the god king Zeus crumbling in the clouds, and the low roar spread across the vast sea, and the only remaining aftermath and the bell of the "Soul Bell" were intertwined.
In the middle of the royal soothsayer's courtyard in the depths of the imperial palace, the witch Glomar, who was praying for the blessing of the "Wanbang Lantern Festival" in the white castle, suddenly fell to the ground, looking at the crystal ball on the table with a frightened face, and the crystal ball surface was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
In the dormitory of the D department teaching area of the Imperial Military Academy, Snow's little face was flushed at the moment, and through the light of the moon, a layer of fine beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead, as if he was in a nightmare, Snow was in pain.
Not only did Xinlan City receive the sensation from the depths of the blue sea, but even the hundreds of millions of sea creatures in the depths of the ocean were frightened by this roar and shrunk into the underwater caverns or giant corals, and the sharks that rounded up the seals and the whales that devoured sardines all stopped their movements and surrendered in the direction from which the roar came, as if to welcome their awakened king.
"The blue sea is the direction of the 'Dark Cloud Road', is there something going on there?"
Professor Russell, who was staying up all night studying the dinosaur vocal cavity, put down the velociraptor sound tube in his hand, he pushed the glasses hanging on his nose, and looked out the window with a gloomy face.
A few late ferries slowly sailed towards the crossing, many of the crew members already asleep, unaware of a thrilling war hundreds of nautical miles away.
Piloting a miniature version of the steamboat, Douglas had been alone in the "dark clouds" for half a day, but he did not seem to have an easy time along the way.
It's like coming to the endless hell of Senro, where lightning spears fall endlessly from the clouds, dragons stir up winds in the dark clouds, terrifying whirlpools appear in the channel from time to time, and monstrous waves make terrifying shattering sounds in the flickering streams of light, as if countless monsters from the Cthulhu mythos are sneaking in the dark seas.
Thanks to Douglas's abilities, the steamboat barely maintained its original shape, but it was Douglass in the wheelhouse who knew the condition of the hull best.
The glass around the wheelhouse has been cracked by the stormy waves, and the various instruments on the operating station have been damaged and stopped, only the driving system is barely holding on, but if this situation continues, it will not be long before it will strike halfway, and the steamboat that has lost its power system will be doomed by the waves and lost to the bottom of the sea.
With a bang, Douglas opened a bottle of champagne, which he had found in the steamboat's refrigerator.
"This captain is quite attentive, he is afraid that I will die at the bottom of the sea, and he has even prepared the practice wine in advance. ”
Douglas laughed at himself as he took two sips of the brown bottle, the white foam running down Douglas's chin and into the collar of his shirt in the swaying dim light.
"Man, hold on, I'm a landlubber, and if you take a break, we'll both be done." ”
God showed his mercy to the blue sea as if he had heard Douglas's prayer, and as soon as Douglas's words fell, the rolling "dark clouds" suddenly calmed down a lot, the huge waves descended into shallow waves, the wind turned into a breeze, and even the raging lightning died down slightly.
"Huh?" Douglas sighed softly, and instead of rejoicing at the slight improvement in the harsh environment, his face became solemn.
Turning off the engine of the steamboat, Douglas put the bottle on the side of the console and looked at the endless darkness ahead, as if waiting for something, he ignored the danger of the fragile steamboat being crushed, and directly wrapped the hull with his own strong momentum.
In the next second, there was a loud "boom", the entire sea level was trembling and disoriented, and a sound wave that was enough to sweep everything was wrapped in surging energy, like a beam of air cannon that instantly pierced the center of the earth, and the surging sound wave directly shattered the cloud curtain in the "Dark Cloud Yongdao", tearing it in half, and the sea level was split out of a "deep sea rift," which spread to dozens of nautical miles before reducing its destructive energy.
Unfortunately, the channel of Douglas driving the steam boat was next to the launch trajectory of the "sonic cannon", and almost in an instant, white waves surged into the sky dozens of meters high, and all the glass on the hull was smashed into slag, the electric lights were shattered, the wine bottle was rolled, and the sound wave directly tore Douglas's shirt, revealing his rocky chest.
Despite the precautions in place, the steamboat was still ravaged, the steel frame of the entire hull was badly deformed, the engine was damaged, and only a high beam in the bow was left on leisurely, floating up and down into the undercurrent and the deep night sky.
The buzzing of his ears did not dissipate for a long time, and Douglas had a pipe in his mouth, which he still held despite the fact that the fire had been extinguished by the sea.
The sea in the distance is like a mountain range undulating in the huge waves, and in the flashing points of light, you can see a vigorous figure tossing and turning, and from time to time there are mermaid-like creatures on the side of the island, which make people's scalps tingle, and there are slight explosions from top to bottom on the high part of the island, and the flames rise to the sky.
"Is this the 'Island of the Sky'? What the hell is going on?"
As the ears regained their hearing, there was a screeching sound from time to time on the side of the steamboat, which had almost turned into a lump of scrap metal.
Flying out of the front window of the steamboat, Douglas stood firmly on the twisted bow of the ship, lifting the drooping high beams to shine on the sides of the hull.
With dark green scales, strong limbs, open dorsal fins, fish-like tails, and a terrifying head, Douglas was almost covered with these mermaid-like creatures beneath the surface of the sea, and under the shroud of the starry sky, they swooped in the direction of the "Sky Island".
"Siren?!" Douglas said in a deep voice.
He had long heard of this kind of ferocious deep-sea race, and there was a complete kraken skeleton in the specimen exhibition room of the Imperial Military Academy, and this group of creatures was undoubtedly the legendary "kraken clan" in terms of appearance and description in the records.
Another loud roar came, and not only did the "Dark Cloud Yongdao" once again turn into a dangerous forbidden land, but even the entire "Sky Island" trembled slightly.
"Even the ocean is shaking, what kind of huge creature can make such a loud roar?!"
The horror in his heart silenced Douglas.
