Chapter 551: Mermaids on Waiheke Island
With a stomach full of questions, Todd flew back to Twilight City from the Land of Shadows.
For him, there was good news and bad news for the trip.
The good news is that Leviathan and Skaha's quest to build the kingdom of heaven is going well, and although there are some problems, there are solutions to them. At this rate, it won't take more than a year for the Shadow Nation to be built into a heavenly land for souls.
But the bad news is, who is responsible for the tyrant pollution that appears on the seabed?
The answer to this question, Leviathan and Skaha knew it, but because they had an agreement with Jingsu, they kept their mouths shut and refused to reveal anything.
Below the Supuha Mountains......
Todd, who was flying in the air, thought about it carefully, and there was only one result that could be guessed.
The tyrant solution that transforms sea creatures into necromancy is supposed to have come from the resurrection experiments of the sage Sutherland.
But the Presbyterians, why should they drain tyrants into the ocean?
Todd couldn't figure it out about that.
Flying over Twilight, Todd swooped down through the clouds towards the city.
The bustling scene in the port of twilight caught his attention.
Hundreds of ships of all kinds set off from the harbor and sailed to the vicinity of Waiheke Island, which is more than ten kilometers away.
Todd uses Hawkeye's ability to look down into the past.
Some of these ships were cargo ships laden with supplies, but many more were passenger ships with passengers......
"What's going on?"
Confused, Todd lowered his altitude again and slowly landed towards Waiheke Island.
The dragon's body, which was the size of a small mountain, covered the entire sky, and the people sitting on the boat followed the shadows to look at the sky, and the appearance of the Holy King made them shout.
In the midst of the kneeling believers, Todd's feet landed on the shores of Waiheke Island, and he finally understood what was happening as he looked at everything in front of him.
As a Saint King, he had only been away for ten days, and Dusk West City had already preliminarily completed the construction of the Waiheke Island Trading Post.
A hand-dug half-moon-shaped harbor with wooden rails for ships on the shore, warehouses for supplies around it, and what appears to be a camp in the middle of the island.
In this bay, there are hundreds of mermaids, who are thinly dressed and have beautiful appearances, which attract a large number of people from the city of Dusk to stop and watch.
Todd moved his feet, slowly approaching the shore of the harbor.
The sheer size of the body, combined with its formidable appearance, makes the merfolk let out one scream after another.
"Sisters, don't panic! this is the holy dragon in the mouth of the old gods!" Rita, the leader of the merfolk, swam to Todd's side tremblingly, "All-powerful patron god, by your grace, we weak and helpless creatures have food and shelter......"
Todd lowered his dragon head, looked at the half-human creature that was no longer than one of his own dragon claws, and asked funny, "Your body is shaking?"
"Although I have seen you in the Divine Domain......" Rita looked at the dragon in front of her that was blocking the sun, and said with difficulty, "But I never thought that your true body would be like this...... Spectacular ......"
Todd raised his dragon's head slightly, his eyes half-narrowed, a sign of his pleasure in dragon form.
But Rita, who was not familiar with Todd's conduct, thought that she had said the wrong thing and inadvertently offended the Holy Dragon, so she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and did not dare to speak again.
"Ahem, ahem!"
A familiar voice made Todd bow his head.
Evie, a Valkyrie dressed in military uniform, rolled her eyes as she walked towards the dragon.
"Oh, you're there too. ”
Evie said helplessly: "What do you mean that you are also ...... I suggest you get back to your human form first, you're just too conspicuous right now. ”
Todd looked down, and the citizens, troops, and merfolk at his feet were lying on their stomachs or huddled up, and everyone stayed in place in awe, not to mention action, and no one even dared to talk in a whisper.
That's not the way to go.
Todd nodded at Evie and slowly retreated towards the forest.
Ten minutes later, Todd walked up to Evie's side in a set of clothes that obviously didn't fit, and said with some embarrassment: "There are no clothes for me here." ”
Evie looked Todd up and down and asked with a smile, "Then how did you get this dress?"
"There is a row of drying racks at the back of the camp......"
As he said this, Todd spotted Rita, the mermaid looking at him with round eyes in the water.
The other party stretched out his white lotus-like arms and pointed at Todd, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Evie shrugged, pointed to the end of the boardwalk not far away, and said to Todd, "This is not the place to talk, go there, at least it will be quieter." ”
Guarded by a group of Valkyries, Todd felt the coolness of his crotch while holding his slightly loose robe in his hands.
Walking onto the boardwalk, Todd sat down on a chair sent by the Valkyrie, looked at Rita swimming slowly in the water, and smiled and motioned for her to come closer.
Rita swam to the side of the boardwalk, supported the plank with both hands, and jumped onto the wooden platform with all her might.
With long beeswax-colored hair like a waterfall, which can cover the plump upper body, Rita is delicate and fair-skinned, and her body is full of two completely different temperaments such as the innocence of a girl and the perseverance of a leader.
"Are you really a holy dragon?"
Rita's question made Todd laugh.
"What's wrong? My human form doesn't meet your expectations?"
Rita sat on the wooden platform, shook the fishtail that was as bright as a rainbow, and subconsciously said, "You look ...... now?" More accommodating ......"
Todd nodded lightly and turned to Rita and asked, "Are you the head of the clan?"
"My mother is, she took her people to find out the traces of the black demon......" Rita's voice slowly lowered as she said this, "But, she never came back......"
Todd sighed and changed the subject: "You've always lived at the bottom of the sea, haven't you ever wanted to come into contact with life on land before, such as trading, or asking for help?"
"Krakosh, the ancient god of the sea, has repeatedly warned us that the creatures of the land are greedy and brutal, and that they are a group of destroyers who have lost their minds, and that the best way to get along with them is to avoid them. ”
Hearing Rita's words, Todd frowned.
These words do sound a lot like Leviathan's style.
Todd asked again, "Haven't you ever met a terrestrial creature in all these years?"
Holding her chin in her palm, Rita recalled, "Since I was born, I have the impression that my people have indeed encountered ships and caravans at sea on several occasions. However, we follow the teachings of the old gods and try not to come into contact with them. ”
Rita suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I heard the elders of the clan mention that there was once a sister who witnessed a shipwreck in a storm and rescued a sailor from the wreck and dragged him to shore. Later, she seemed to fall in love with the sailor. ”
Todd recalled that the story sounded like a beautiful fairy tale, and he asked with interest, "What happened next?"
"This sister has violated the teachings of the old gods, has been in contact with the outside world without permission, and intends to escape from the ocean......" Rita seemed to say a very normal trifle: "The people executed her and threw her body into the bottomless trench. ”
"Forehead ......"
The unexpected ending made Todd a little stunned.
