Chapter 126 Sirens
When the thief looked at it, he was shocked.
Sheng Yawei became interested, so he also lifted a piece of rubble.
At this look, Sheng Yawei couldn't help but show a thoughtful look - I saw the two old men in the room crying silently, a humanoid on the upper body, a beast-shaped monster on the lower body rolling in the wooden basin, Sheng Yawei could occasionally catch a glimpse of Lu's hideous face, she said it, opened her mouth wide, but she couldn't make any sound.
Sometimes the face is too painful, and the old man will come forward tremblingly and comfort: "Child, if you endure it any longer, it will be over......"
"They don't be like this in every house, are they?" asked the thief.
Sheng Yawei is not particularly surprised, the curse, it's all the same, anyway, the cursed person will not go anywhere normally, what makes her think deeply is the origin of its lower body beast form.
Yan Yan was the most calm, and only said one sentence: "It's ugly." And he returned the rubble to its place.
Sheng Yawei said to the thief: "Let's take a look at each house, and we'll know." ”
"Good. The thief dared to look around, and said, "Anyway, this is really a curse, not a magic circle - there have been no guards for so long." Gain knowledge!"
In the middle of the night, the three of them visited every house. As long as it is a young man or woman, it is a similar situation, some have sea snakes on their lower bodies, some are octopuses, some are sea anemones, and even some are mussel-shaped below the head, and so on.
"It's really an eye-opener, there are all kinds of shapes!" Although the thief said and smiled, there was a lot of pity on his face.
Along the way, many of their doubts have been answered.
Like what. Why is there a hundred or so less breathing in the whole village at night, after those young people are immersed in the water, the breathing sound is much shallower, and the thieves are far away before, so they naturally think that they have disappeared.
For example, why are all the old people going out, why don't they let them enter the door three times, in that case, can young people go out, can strangers enter the door?
For example, what Sheng Yawei ignored on the first day he came. It was clear to her now that she had felt that the water elemental was active on her first day. There was also a smell of the sea, but she subconsciously thought that it was close to the sea, so she didn't care. Don't you know, this place is seventy or eighty miles away from the sea, to say the least. There were no young people who went to the sea to fish. Where does the smell of the sea come from?
Sheng Yawei still found out. The lower bodies of those aliens are basically based on marine species, if the curse is really a crying mother. Most of the crying girls are sea tribes.
Sea Clan, Wind Clan, Water Clan, Rhythm of Crying, Curse, Strength, Strange Personality......
The originally vague image in Sheng Yawei's mind suddenly became clear - it was actually a siren! The body of the crying mother was actually a siren!
It's no wonder that Sheng Yawei didn't think of it before, the sirens were originally a legendary species, even rarer than mermaids. On the continent of Mistri, you can occasionally hear about the appearance of mermaids, but no one has seen a living siren for nearly 100,000 years! It is even speculated in many classics that the sirens may have become extinct. Of course, now Sheng Yawei knew that the sirens were not extinct, and the three of them had seen them - although not the prototype.
What is a siren? They are monsters with human faces and bird bodies, and they are most famous for luring sailors to lose their minds with their singing voices, causing their ships to run aground and sink, so they are also called krakens. Mistrile's first siren, also known as the concubine of the god of the sea, is said to have caused the ship to run aground because it offended the majesty of the god of the sea by passing over the sea god's palace. It is said that the sirens are very favored by the sea gods, and they belong to the sea tribe divine beasts, and they reach the 9th rank like top divine beasts such as the golden dragon as soon as they become adults.
Of course, the crying lady must have been in her infancy when she met Julia, otherwise even if Julia had the bonuses of various human props, she would not be able to do the 9th or even 8th order crying girl. It's just that later, the crying mother was stimulated, or encountered something wrong, and entered the growth period and even adulthood, so Julia was unlucky!
Sheng Yawei had a guess, so he thought about how to verify it.
"Thief Guts, I'll discuss something with you!" Sheng Yawei's eyes flashed with ill intentions, but she had always covered it up and didn't let the thief see it.
The thief asked, "What's the matter?"
"The next time you see the crying lady, can you say that you can help me ask the crying mother a question? By the way, you can't say that I asked you to ask. Sheng Yawei said.
"What's the question? Why can't you say you asked?" said the thief.
"You promise me first, and I'll tell you something. Sheng Yawei emphasized, "As for why I can't tell her, it's because I don't like to deal with monsters, haven't you seen that I haven't opened my mouth when I met the crying lady twice?" I just don't want her to notice me." ”
Although the thief was suspicious, he was really curious about Sheng Yawei's question, so he nodded: "Okay." ”
"Ask her if she's ever heard of the Kraken surname. "Sheng Yawei has seen in an ancient book that Kraken is the surname of the first siren before marrying the god of the sea, and it is likely to be the surname of all purebred sirens, if the crying mother is a siren, she will definitely have a reaction to this question, but what the reaction is, Sheng Yawei cannot guarantee it.
As for whether it will trap the thief's guts, Sheng Yawei spreads his hands, he can't cheat the words, right?
"Is there anything special about the Kraken surname? I don't think I've heard of it. The thief dared to ask.
"There's a lot of stuff you haven't heard of. As for whether it's special or not, you'll know when the time comes. Sheng Yawei didn't want to say more, lest the thief dare to guess something, so he changed the topic: "These young people are miserable, I don't know how many years they have been cursed and tortured, let's quickly find the hiding place of Meghan's mother and daughter, so as to clear the suspicion of these people and let them escape." ”
"You said if we told the people of Nile Village, would they help find it?" suggested the thief.
"Probably not. Julia has been missing for three thousand years, they don't know how many generations they have inherited, there must have been many people who have been here, and the curse has not been resolved, they may have lost hope!"
The thief was just talking, in fact, he also felt that it was impossible, because just now in the house, those old people looked at their children with a sense of resignation.
"Forget it, let's find out for ourselves first!"
The trio began a carpet search of the entire Nile village.
For half a month, the three of them found a lot of suspicious objects, but after some trouble, none of them were their target.
From the shrines in every house, to the sculptures in the square, from the plaques in the council hall to the expensive decorations placed in the house, and even the stone chairs and stone benches on the side of the road, as long as it is something that is old, Sheng Yawei and the three of them will not let it go, and they have explored it all. (To be continued......)
