The hot topics in the kingdom are like the waters of the tide, which begin today and set tomorrow.

The matter of Randall and Barbara, after a trial that ended without a problem, slowly faded out of people's vision after a month of precipitation.

The most talked about topic on the streets and alleys has changed to the sea of Twilight City, and new immigrants have appeared.

Another group of undersea creatures, who have abandoned their homes in the deep sea, have come to the dragon god and begged for refuge.

Todd, who took the form of a dragon, perched on the hills of Waiheke Island, looking at a group of strange creatures lying in the sea near the coast.

Shark-shaped head, thick limbs, sharp shark spines, wide flippers.

Half shark, half human.

Todd was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You said you also received the revelation of the ancient gods of the sea?"

The shark-man at the head raised his head and said in a half-baked lingua franca: "Black plague, devour, home gone, food gone, the old god said, to the east, dragon." ”

Although there were staccato words and some words were mispronounced, Todd understood what the Shark Man leader meant.

"What's your name, and where is your home?"

The shark man at the head tilted his head and thought for a while, and said with difficulty: "I, Yege, Home, Six Corals, Ring Mother......"

Todd was a little confused: "What is that place?"

"I'll tell you!"

Standing in the middle of the sea, Rita, a mermaid who couldn't stand it, turned the fork in her hand and looked at the shark man with a disgusted expression: "These guys live on the bottom of the sea four hundred kilometers west of the coast, near the six trenches and the ring volcano, and their place of residence is not far from us. ”

Todd looked at the merfolk, "You know each other?"

Rita pouted, "I'd rather I'd never seen these rude, ugly stupid fish." ”

Jeger got up from the water, opened his huge mouth full of fangs, and roared, "Mermaid, thief, liar, untrustworthy!"

I speak these words very fluently, and I guess I don't miss them.

With such an exclamation, Todd asked, "There is a grudge between your two races?"

Ignoring Yeger's anger, Rita shook her head, "Hatred doesn't count, but the merfolk and shark people's fishing grounds are next to each other, and there have been fights for hundreds of years because of food and territory. ”

Jeger gritted his teeth and said, "Old God, forbidden, war, we, forbearance." ”

Todd kind of understood what was going on.

It's not surprising that the sea races that Leviathan created at the bottom of the sea, although they made him a god, often fought for their survival.

However, in just a few months, the black substance that can turn living things into necromancy began to spread again, and it has spread hundreds of kilometers into the deep sea, and things are going in the worst direction.

Rita looked at the group of sharks and asked curiously, "Why are you the only ones?"

Jeger said in a deep voice: "The plague, the bottom of the sea, they, failed to escape. ”

Rita's eyes widened, the movement of her hands stopped, and her face showed sadness and pain: "There are quite a few good people among them. ”

Todd held the dragon's head in front of Jegg and Rita and said, "I need an introduction to the ocean floor in the recent past, and tell me everything you know, especially the black plague that has swept everything. ”

Jeger leaned down, not daring to look directly at the dragon, and whispered in a hopeful tone, "We, bless, you, help!"

Todd flapped his dragon's wings and set off waves on the shore: "I promise to give you protection, you and your people can live in the sea west of Waiheke Island." ”

Compared with the frightened Yage, Rita, who was already familiar with Todd's character, opened her mouth and complained: "Supreme Dragon God, do we really want to be neighbors with this group of stupid fish?"

Todd glanced at Rita: "Live, fish, trade, enter the city...... Give the power to the merfolk, and I will give it to the shark people. I don't care what kind of grievances you have before, in the waters of Dusk City, I don't want to see any kind of fight and fight for any reason!"

Jeger patted his chest and said loudly, "We, swear, obey, dragon, order!"

Rita sighed helplessly and glanced at Yegg with disgust on her face.

Leaving behind this group of not very harmonious neighbors, Todd rose into the sky and flew in the direction of the palace.

Todd, who fell to the ground and slowly turned into a human form, took the robe handed by Evie, and walked to the king's audience room with a solemn face.

Evie, who had never seen Todd so serious, opened her mouth and asked, "Did something happen?"

Todd asked as he walked, "Is there any response from the team sent by the Knights of the North Island to reconnoiter in the Western Seas?"

Evie was a little surprised by Todd's question, but immediately replied: "Last week, I sent three more fleets to their mission location, but so far, there is no news. ”

Evie looked at Todd and asked, "Can't you reach them in the soul space?"

Todd said with a worried face: "If the people of the North Island Knights are still alive, I should be able to contact them, but if they are dead, they who have completed the soul link, their souls should return to Heaven." ”

"But now it's the case that I can't get in touch with them, and their souls haven't returned to Heaven. ”

"Could it be that their souls have been cut off by something?" Evie guessed, "like the forbidden ores used by the Elders?"

"If it's just the forbidden ore, then maybe there's room for things to turn around, but I'm afraid it's worse. ”

"Worse?"

"The Tyrant on the west coast of the empire has leaked, and the consequences may be more serious than we thought, sea life is turning into necrons in large numbers, and if this happens on land, imagine what a huge chaos it will be. ”

Evie suddenly remembered something: "The person who went on a mission this time is the deputy head of the North Island Knights...... Little Jerry, he is loyal but upright, and I am worried that he will not know how to retreat when he encounters a situation. ”

The gloom on Todd's face intensified.

In his mind, the child who had been by his side since the convent and did everything he could to contribute to the conviction.

In Todd's impression, little Jerry is shy, timid, and even a little wooden, but when it comes to friends, he will become the bravest warrior and face any threat and challenge head-on.

Todd walked to the door of the audience room, turned to Evie and said, "Send the Valkyrie Griffin squad to the last place where the North Island Knights fleet will appear." ”

The latter nodded, glanced at Todd, and asked softly, "If, I mean, something happens to Jerry's fleet, what should the Valkyries do?"

Todd's hand stopped in mid-air, and the whole person was still for a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and finally, he opened his mouth and whispered, "Retrieving the sample of the Necromantic Tyrant is the highest priority." ”
