Chapter 153: The Key to Xuanhei
It was a black key carved with ancient and intricate patterns.
From the moment it appeared, Chu Ran's eyes were firmly fixed on it.
"What is this?" After a long time, Chu Ran's gaze moved away from the black key and looked at Elder Hai.
Elder Hai looked at his face and said, "The key, you've always wanted it. โ
Chu Ran moved when he heard this, he got up and jumped off the soft couch, and between the actions, the black chains on his feet made a sonorous and crisp sound. He walked over, stretched out his hand to take the key from Elder Hai's hand, looked up at him suspiciously, and said, "Cangli is willing to let me go?"
Elder Hai looked at him with a "you think too much" gaze, and said in a light tone: "You can try, once you step on land, the endless sea will follow your footsteps, one after another. โ
"Oh?" Chu Ran looked at him defiantly. Fingers played with the black key, and said, "Then what do I want it for? It's just a little cage to a bigger one." โ
Elder Hai's gaze looked at him, and he said meaningfully, "The sea water can cover the earth, but it can't pour into the Yellow Spring. Even if the great sacrifice is powerful, it will not be able to compete with the king of the underworld. โ
Hearing this, Chu Ran raised his head suddenly, his eyes staring sharply at Elder Hai's face, "What do you mean by this?"
Elder Hai didn't answer his words, but just smiled faintly and said, "Next, let's talk about business. โ
"I thought just now, ours is. Chu Ran said, he took a few steps back. Sit back down on the couch.
He put the key in his hand, turned around boringly, and said with a casual look: "It seems that your business is a little different from mine, I don't know, what do you mean?"
Elder Hai's face remained unchanged, and his tone was light, "About your right to inherit the throne. โ
"......" Chu Ran.
With a click, the key in Chu Ran's hand fell on the couch, and he raised his head and looked at Elder Hai with a bewildered expression.
He was frightened!
Succession to the throne, what the hell is that?
He's actually a prince?
Half-ringing, Chu Ran raised his head and looked at Elder Hai with a deep expression, "You mean, there is a kingdom waiting for me to inherit now?"
Elder Hai also had a divine expression on his face. The vicissitudes of his tone said: "Once Sakura"
"......" Chu Ran.
Good bye!
We don't make an appointment!
Looking at Chu Ran's undisguised expression of disgust, Elder Hai's eyebrows jumped, and he said, "In the Endless Sea Area, there have been many kings, but after the battle of the last era, in the end, only the kings of the four clans were left to rule the sea area. The East China Sea Green Dragon Clan, the West Sea Golden Dragon Clan, the South China Sea Red Dragon Clan, and the North Sea Silver Dragon Clan. โ
At this point, Elder Hai paused, and he looked at Chu Ran in deep thought with a satisfied expression
Halfway through, Chu Ran raised his head, looked at him, and said, "What do you mean...... I am the dragon son and dragon grandson of the four dragon royal clans who are scattered outside?"
"......" Elder Hai.
For a moment, the expression on Elder Hai's face froze, and his face was as ugly as a pig's liver.
"You...... You...... You ......" He pointed at Chu Ran with trembling fingers, so angry that he couldn't say a word. In the end, he angrily threw down a sentence, "Shaft!" "You have lived for so many years, can't you even tell if you are a human or a dragon!?" Elder Hai angrily accused him.
Being pointed at his nose and scolded, Chu Ran had an indifferent expression on his face, he sat on the soft couch, folded his โกโก, and said, "It's not yours, my succession to the throne ......"
"Mine is the inheritance to the throne of your merman clan!" Elder Hai roared loudly, his chest rising and falling violently, and he was almost angry with Chu Ran.
simply didn't give him a chance to speak, in fact, he didn't dare, Elder Hai was afraid that if Chu Ran said one more word, he would have a cerebral hemorrhage and die. "The merman clan was also the overlord of the sea, but later the disaster*, the merman royal family suffered the disaster of extermination......"
At this point, Elder Hai's face was complicated, and after a pause, he continued, "Except for the High Priest, none of the Imperial Shark clan survived. โ
"Oh. Chu Ran replied casually with a casual expression.
"......" Elder Hai.
Oh...... It's not one!?
Oh your sister!
Elder Hai was surprisingly furious. It's so tiring to talk to this guy!
He glared at Chu Ran and said, "You don't have anything to want?"
"What do you want?" Chu Ran raised his head, looked at Elder Hai, and said, "It's really miserable?
"......" Elder Hai.
Where did the Huang Shark clan offend you, you have to curse people like this!
I remembered the words of the high priest who was the only one to him before his retreat. Elder Hai couldn't help but sigh, he looked at Chu Ran, and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, but ...... Be nice to Cangli, what he did for you......"
"What did he do for me?" Chu Ran interrupted him, staring at him, a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth. He lifted his feet locked in the black chains, "Imprison me here like a prisoner?" or bite my throat and suck my blood against my will?"
Hearing this, the muscles on Elder Hai's face twitched a few times, and for the first time, his old and wise eyes showed an indefensible look. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Although you can't go back to land, you are free. โ
"The key is already in your hand, and the chain is ready to be opened. Elder Hai said, "Prepare, tomorrow you will leave for the Sea God Academy." โ
Chu Ran heard this. Looking up, he looked at him and asked, "Poseidon Academy?"
Elder Hai explained, "The Sea God Academy is a Sea Clan Academy jointly established by the Four Seas Dragon Clan after the Battle of the Last Era. Only recruit the descendants of the Sea King blood as disciples, although you are not from the Four Seas Dragon Clan, but the merman was also once a tyrant in the sea, and the bloodline is noble enough to go to a mere Sea God Academy. โ
"......" Chu Ran.
Although he was very happy to be able to leave this hellish place and go to that sea god academy, but ......
"Let me remind you. Chu Ran looked at Elder Hai speechlessly and said, "Don't be the Sea King bloodline, I don't even have the Sea Clan bloodline."
Elder Hai had a surprised expression on his face when he heard this, "How could it be?"
"......" Chu Ran.
Do you really not know or are you pretending to be stupid?
In the end, Chu Ran could only say weakly: "I am a human, I am really a human!"
Do you want a human race to go to the Shanghai Clan Academy, do you want me to go to Dakai to eat the ring? Raw dragon slices, stir-fried dragon liver, spicy dragon tendons, vinegared dragon backbone......
It's full of seafood!
With a snort, Chu Ran reached out and wiped his saliva, oops, a little hungry.
I don't know why, Chu Ran's heart suddenly swelled with a strong desire to go to the seafood ...... Ah no, it's the impulse to go to school at Poseidon Academy.
He stood up openly, took a few steps forward, took Elder Hai's hand, and said with sincerity on his face, "Please let me go to serve seafood...... Seminary!Please!" Elder Hai was taken aback by Chu Ran's sudden enthusiasm, his old face did not collapse, revealing a subtle expression, and he looked him up and down and said, "I always feel that you are smiling with bad intentions. โ
Hearing this, Chu Ran quickly pulled the corners of his mouth, then quickly restrained his smile, and said seriously: "How come! I am such a kind person." โ
"......" Elder Hai.
Hehe...... Elder Hai looked at the brazen young man in front of him speechlessly. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his heart became more and more firm in the idea that the Terran was a strange creature! I really don't know why the High Priest likes a Terran.
Anyway, Elder Hai thought, in short, as long as the goal is achieved.
He raised his head, looked at Chu Ran, and said, "You prepare, we will set off tomorrow." โ
When Chu Ran heard this, he said curiously: "Do I have anything to prepare?"
"......" Elder Hai.
I'm just a routine polite remark, in fact, you don't have to be so serious!
It's true!
The corners of Elder Hai's mouth twitched a few words. He looked at Chu Ran and said, "Then you have a good rest and leave early tomorrow." โ
Anyway, he didn't give Chu Ran a chance to speak, and hurriedly said, "I still have something to do, I'll go first." โ
Anyway, he quickly turned around and left.
This posture is quite a bit of a deserted escape, Chu Ran saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said in his heart, am I so terrible?
He reached out and touched his face, muttering, "I won't eat people." โ
After Elder Hai walked out of the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, it was really terrifying! Just a few more words with the young man, the aura on the priest's body became so terrifying.
While wiping his sweat, he thought, "Isn't the priest in retreat?" Why did he suddenly appear again? Sure enough, he still can't rest assured! Elder Hai said in his heart. Those dragon heirs of the Sea God Academy are not fuel-efficient lamps.
The dragon clan is born aggressive, and they are constantly fighting with each other, not to mention Chu Ran, a foreign race.
Thinking of that group of fierce and aggressive dragon clans, who were strange and strange, Elder Hai silently gave Chu Ran a wax, young man, I hope you can hold on! Be strong.
Thinking of this, Elder Hai couldn't help but wonder, why did the priest send this young man to the Sea God Academy knowing what kind of virtue those dragons were, didn't he worry about his accident?
Inside the Crystal Palace
Chu Ran happily took the key and opened the chain on his ankle, and with a click, the chain that had locked him for half a month was finally undone!
Lao Tzu is free!
Chu Ran smiled with a happy face, his eyebrows and eyebrows were full of joy, and his heart almost jumped on the spot.
Cangli, who had been standing outside the bead curtain, silently looked at the smile on his face, stopped for a long time, and finally turned to leave.
I did it right!
When leaving, Cangli said to himself, as long as he is happy, everything is worth it. He reached out and covered his eyes and walked away in the darkness.
After a long time, when he lowered his hand, his scarlet eyes were revealed.
In ancient legends, the existence of the Kraken is a symbol of evil in the world.
In the Wild Age, the Kraken was known as the Evil Demon.
Second, Chu Ran was wearing an ink-colored dark coat, with a circle of red patterns embroidered on his sleeves, a dark red belt around his waist, and a pair of light boots on his feet. The bet is Zhong Lingyuxiu, and the aura of the earth gathers together.
He stood outside the gates of the Crystal Palace, Elder Hai standing beside him.
Chu Ran raised his eyebrows, looked at Elder Hai, and said, "What about Cangli?"
"I'm leaving. He's not coming to see me off?"
When Elder Hai heard this, he said curiously, "Do you still remember him? I thought you wished you couldn't see him." โ
If it were possible, I would have liked. Chu Ran thought to himself, don't I think it's strange! Since yesterday, this thing has been very strange. Cangli is a dead pervert, he is willing to let him go! Even if he is not allowed to go ashore to land, that is strange, right?
"It's just that I haven't seen him for a while, so I'm just asking. Chu Ran wrote in an understated tone, as if he really didn't care about Cangli's movements.
"He wants to see you, and naturally he will come to see you. Elder Hai looked at him meaningfully and said.
When Chu Ran heard this, he immediately stopped asking.
Elder Hai took out an inky scale. I saw that the scales were dark green like jade, sharp as a blade, and flashed with a cold and hard light. At first glance, he knew that it was not an ordinary product, "This is what the priest asked me to give you." Elder Hai said.
Chu Ran looked at it and didn't reach out to pick it up, he asked, "What is this?"
"Scales. Elder Hai said.
"Who's?" Chu Ran asked.
Elder Hai didn't answer his question, just looked at him with deep meaning.
In an instant, Chu Ran's eyes shrank suddenly, and he remembered the beautiful, elegant and dangerous dark green fishtail he had ever seen, it was ...... Fishtails.
Chu Ran didn't move for a while, just stared at the dark green scales in Elder Hai's hand with a pair of eyes, why...... Why do you want to give me this?, he said to himself. But I couldn't ask.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Elder Hai said, "Scales are very precious things for mermaids, and they will only be given to one person in their lifetime. โ
He looked at the scales in his hand that looked like a high-end product with complicated eyes, as if he was playing a dog's blood, sighed deeply, and then sighed, "Actually, Lord Priest is really a good person." โ
"......" Chu Ran.
Hearing this, is it okay to play in minutes!?
Originally, there were still some complicated and tangled emotions, and there were no thoughts in an instant, okay?
"I don't need to. Chu Ran frowned and refused, "Please give it back to Cangli, I have thanked him for his kindness." โ
"It's better not to. Elder Hai said, he looked at him meaningfully and said, "You're going to need it." โ
"After all, you need a Sea Clan identity. Elder Hai said, "Take it, you are a fake Sea Clan, even if it is the Dragon King himself, you will not be able to see through it." โ
"......" Chu Ran.
Your goodness makes sense. Seeing that he didn't stretch out his hand, Elder Hai smiled knowingly and said, "In the eyes of the dragon clan, the human race is a delicacy. โ
"......" Chu Ran.
That sounds so scary, right!?
"According to the memories passed down by the ancestors of the dragon clan, the taste of human flesh is delicious, and it is a rare delicacy in the world. I heard that many dragons want to try the taste of human flesh. Elder Zhuhai smiled and continued, "The dragon clan is not the only one who has such an idea, if it weren't for the old age, I would really want to try it. โ
"......" Chu Ran.
it!
When Chu Ran heard this, he instantly saw that Elder Hai's gaze was different, and his face was full of vigilance. I misread you with an expression, I didn't expect you to be such a person!
to his condemning gaze. Elder Hai looked calm, and he said, "Why don't you Terrans eat the flesh of my Sea Clan? Thousands of years ago, the human race was just a piece of meat in the mouths of dragons and alien beasts, and now your human race preys on demon beasts and sea beasts, which is not just a verification of this truth. โ
"......" Chu Ran.
It makes sense, I can't argue with it.
In the end, Chu Ran only had one word, "Serve!"
A dress with a capital letter!
He was in a complicated mood, and with an indescribable expression on his face, he took over the scale in Elder Hai's hand.
Until now, he is still confused. Haven't reacted yet. He casually said to Elder Hai, "Thank you Cangli for me." โ
As soon as these words came out, Elder Hai's face suddenly changed, and he said in his heart, Oops!
Hiding in the dark and peeping, his eyes never left Chu Ran's body from beginning to end, and when he heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly.
He suddenly appeared, walked out of the shadows, looked at Chu Ran with complicated eyes, his voice was hoarse, and he still said in a low and elegant voice like a cello, "Why don't you say it to me personally?"
"......" is stupid and talks about Chu Ran.
He's almost crazy! Who the can tell him, why is Cangli's snake spirit disease here! Chu Ran looked at Cangli who suddenly appeared in front of him with a confused expression, and his mind was full of "! Why is he here?"
Elder Hai on the side turned his head silently. With an expression that couldn't bear to look at directly, the old face twitched a few times, and his heart was frantically brushing, "I know! I know!!"
High priest, if you are really reluctant and want to see you off, then come in the open. Elder Hai complained silently in his heart, even if he was suspicious and sent it secretly, then please hide it!
In the end, Elder Hai sighed with admiration on his face, he deserved to be a high priest, very human!
Cangli was born with an aura of isolation, an aura that isolated himself from others, and as soon as he appeared, he ignored the surprise, worship, awe, and other gazes that shot at him from all directions, and only stared at Chu Ran in front of him with a pair of eyes focused on it, with a complex face on his face.
Seeing Chu Ran all over his body, his eyes widened as he looked at the merman who was looking at him affectionately, and scolded you in his heart! Don't think that if you pretend to be affectionate, I will forget your virtue of trying to kill me before!
"You...... Why are you here?" I haven't seen him for a while, and the mermaid Rao's face has added a bit of melancholy temperament, which makes his already pale and gloomy appearance more and more charming, especially the dark blue eyes like jewels, when you see it staring at you, you will always be shaken.
The Kraken is a very tempting race.
"I wanted to see you, so I came. Cangli's tone was low and magnetic, and the handsome face looked melancholy, and a shallow line wrinkled in the center of his eyebrows. The beauty is sorrowful, but everyone who sees it feels pity.
It's a pity that Chu Ran is not included in this.
Chu Ran was not bewitched by his extremely bewitching handsomeness that was not like his mortal appearance, no one knew better than him what a terrible beast was wrapped under that beautiful skin, he looked at Cangli calmly and almost ruthlessly, and said, "That's over, I should go." โ
Hearing this, the expression on Cangli's face became even more melancholy. His dark blue eyes shimmered with a melancholy sheen, staring deeply at him, as if silently accusing him of cruelty.
Chu Ran received his signal, but he was still unmoved.
Let you bite me! Let you pinch me! Make you want to kill me!
The implication is that it's time to send that son on the road.
When Cangli heard this, he didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little more melancholy, and he looked at Chu Ran deeply, his pale and handsome face...... The expression is really heartbreaking to watch.
However, it didn't work.
Chu Ran said that Lao Tzu is not so superficial to look at his face.
He doesn't just look at his face, right?
The light is just a good face. I can't impress him!
At the very least, you have to have a good character.
When it came to his good character, Chu Ran couldn't help but be a little distracted, he thought of the cold mountain peak of Shangqing Sect that was frozen and snowy all year round, and thought of the people on it. His titular master, Qi Xiuning...... That's the best guy he's ever met.
Shangqing Sect
Qi Xiuning, who was called by Chu Ran with a good personality, was sitting on the trial platform with a cold face at this time, and it was the annual inner disciple trial meeting.
"The sword moves are gorgeous, the momentum is insufficient, and it is not qualified!"
"Your sword has no soul, that's not your sword, who are you imitating?"
"There is more momentum, not enough agility, and the sword is alive. โ
โ......โ
Qi Xiuning's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion. Dressed in a snow-white sword robe, he sat in the position of the chief examiner, and the words that didn't come out were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly piercing the hearts of these young disciples.
I saw the inner disciples wearing navy blue sword robes, with pale faces, and their steps were vain as they stepped down from the trial ring, looking like they had been hit hard. The expression is in a trance, and the soul is not giving up.
How could this be! This year's trial examiner turned out to be the Ice Spirit Sword Monarch! These young inner disciples on the trial platform had expressions of wanting to cry. The Ice Spirit Sword Monarch is notoriously cold and strict and unkind, and it seems that this year's trial assessment ...... I have to come back next year, these disciples thought bitterly.
"You are really ruthless...... Shang Ning Daojun, who was sitting beside him, simply shook his head and said, "Look at these disciples, they are all about to be bullied and cry by you." โ
When Qi Xiuning heard this, his face was unmoved, but he rarely walked a little away.
He thought of his apprentice who had been away from home for many days, and he wondered what was going on outside. Count the days, and when he comes back, just in time for the next round of kendo trials. I don't know if he will be like these disciples when the time comes...... I want to cry. As soon as this idea came out, Qi Xiuning immediately denied it, his Qi Xiuning's apprentice was naturally the best, just a sword trial. However, an inexplicable emotion flashed in Qi Xiuning's eyes, thinking about the appearance of the young man who had always been calm and clear crying at him......
Qi Xiuning's heart trembled violently, his hand shook, and he knocked over the inkstone on the table.
Shang Ning Daojun on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly looked back at him. "What's wrong?"
Qi Xiuning lowered his eyes, hid his emotions, and said in a cold voice: "It's okay." โ
The emotions in his heart were strange and inexplicable, a little excited, and difficult to restrain ...... He couldn't tell what these strange feelings were. But he knows . . . When he remembered Chu Ran's defenseless trust, he cried at him, begging for his comfort...... Not just a time of comfort, but a clear and strong desire and expectation in his heart.
He was looking forward to such a scene.
Qi Xiuning couldn't help but fall into deep thought, these ...... What does that mean?
Chu Ran, a young man who is far away in the deep sea and returns to the ruins. Naturally, I don't know these troubles that belong to adults.
Now he is rejoicing that he can leave the cage of Guiru and the pervert named Cangli. There is no boundary in the sea, and it is obvious that it is not possible to pass by swimming. The major cities in the sea area have connected magic circles, and the status of the ruins is transcendent, and there are very few magic circles that can be connected to it, only a few. Hailan City, where the Poseidon Academy is located, is one of them.
Chu Ran stepped into the magic circle, and the sea clan guards guarding the magic circle activated the magic circle.
In an instant, a dazzling light surged in the magic circle, enveloping Chu Ran in Zheng
