"Congratulations on returning the cow, in recognition of your good work and helping others. Hurry up (1113,8888) to receive your rewards! ”
The three of them arrived at the fishing village as instructed, and an old woman received them: "Children, you are finally here. Our villagers are living in dire straits. ”
Cheng Yun: "Old woman, is there anything you can do to help you?" ”
System: "Do you accept the old woman's request?" ”
"Yes/No", the three people click "Yes". The old woman spoke again:
"Good boy, our fishing village was a peaceful paradise. The fishery is abundant, and the folk customs are simple. The boy is strong, the daughter is soft, the old man is charitable, and the child is cute. We have been worshipping the merfolk for generations, and the mermaid king treats us very well. He taught us fishing techniques and made us self-sufficient. But he didn't want good people to live long, the mermaid king was killed by someone, and the mermaid queen was also heartbroken and committed suicide. At that time, the mermaid princess was not yet 13 years old, and we were grateful to the mermaid king for obeying her, and giving her the strong boys and children in the village as guards and playmates, and gradually only the old lady was left in the village! Can you help me find my boy and let him come back to see his wife?" ”
A lot of words can be summed up in one sentence: to help the old lady find her son. In order to go to the deep seabed, the old man also gave each of them a breathing bubble.
"Breath Bubble - A quest item that allows you to walk freely underwater after use. Expires after the task. ”
Three large bubbles wrapped around three people to the bottom of the sea.
The bottom of the sea was not large, and the three of them did not feel any danger underwater. There are no fish swimming in the water, and aquatic plants grow wildly, which causes some inconvenience to their movements. After a difficult march to one place, the view gradually broadened. Chengyun walked in front, stopped the footsteps of the two, and said, "There is someone in front." ”
Seeing this, Pique took out his weapon and went ahead to explore the way first. A while
Pique turned: "It's an NPC in front, maybe." ”
Xintong: "What do you mean maybe?" ”
Peake wanted to speak and stopped, Xintong looked at him, didn't plan to ask again, and the three of them quickly came to the NPC.
If that's an NPC, it's only half-cut off, with a stone hammer at her feet, and the chain of the stone hammer is tied around her wrist. Look at the half of the body, spread out in a pile of bones, it is also cruel in shape, and the half of the body is no longer covered by skin. But her face was intact, and her big beautiful eyes were hollow, looking at them.
Cheng Yun: "Can we help you?" ”
The NPC slowly stood up, the sound of chains piercing. I saw her say, "Oh, it turned out to be a mission, I thought it was my lunch." ”
System: "Do you want to accept the Mermaid Queen's request?" ”
"Yes/No", the three of them clicked "Yes" again, and the mermaid queen spoke.
Merfolk Queen: "My name is Nami, and I am the queen of the merfolk clan, and we have lived in these waters for generations, worshiped by fishermen. When I was 13 years old, my parents left me, my younger siblings were younger, and I became the queen of the merfolk. When I was alone and helpless, I suddenly received a letter from a fisherman. He made me believe that I was the best queen and gave my daughter Nami as a playmate. Nami and I quickly became best friends, sharing my clothes for her and her toys always playing with me. Her dad gave me a lot of encouragement and was my soul mentor. I'm grateful to them. ”
"We merfolk like to eat human flesh. Nami is in pain because she is human. She started cutting her own flesh for me to eat, and I ate it a few times, blaming myself for not being able to bear to hurt Nami again. Nami had no choice but to replace me as the queen of the merfolk for my sake. I cut off the tail of the fish and gave it to her, so that she could pretend to be me and rule the fishermen instead of me. ”
"The fishermen were convinced of Nami and sent a lot of strong men, and Nami liked them so much that I put up with them and didn't eat them yet. Nami is my best friend, she has fun with those men around me, and I feel her joy, but unfortunately those people are going to enter my belly and become my food. ”
Nami was sad because she found pleasure in them, which she said was different from what I felt with me. I'm not human, and I don't understand what it's like to go together. But she is my best friend, and I am happy that she can be happy. Later, I agreed to Nami's plan and asked the fishermen to bring in more men. I also peeled off my own scales and gave them to Nami to make clothes so that she could be more like me and the fishermen would be more trusting of her. The men ran out, the boys were delivered, and of course they all ended up being my food. These bones are theirs. Nami has fun playing, I have eaten happily. We are really the best girlfriends in the world. I'm happy. ”
"But slowly, fewer and fewer people were delivered, and I hadn't eaten for a long time, and I was hungry and had to swim out to the sea to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, I heard the words of the fishermen at the beach. They called me a cruel queen and said I had killed their children. They want to overthrow my rule, and I'm sad. ”
"I love my people, and Nami says they are not good people, and they can't satisfy the Queen's little special hobby. Nami also turned against me because of this. I just hope that my people can continue to support me, I can not eat human flesh, I just don't want to give up my girlfriends. ”
System: "Whether to accept the mermaid queen's request and win the support of the people." ”
Reward: "The bones of an old woman's son." ”
Yes/No.
The three of them exchanged glances, and if they did not accept the queen's request, they would not be able to complete the old woman's task, and it seemed that they could only accept it.
The three chose "yes".
Holding the bones of the old woman's son, the three of them returned to the fishing village, and the old woman knew the cause and effect of the incident, and was very angry: "My poor son, my mother thought you were just playful, and never came back to see the old lady, but I didn't expect that I was a white-haired person to send a black-haired person." ”
System: "Do you accept the old woman's assignment?" Kill the fake mermaid queen. Revenge for the old woman's son? ”
"Yes/No", the trio chose "yes".
The three of them left the old woman's place.
Peake: "It's strange, the one who ate the old woman's son is obviously the real mermaid queen, why did we go to kill the fake." Peake was strange and asked the two.
Of course, Xintong knew very well and replied to him.
Xintong: "The ignorance of the people, they believe that their leaders are deceived, they don't believe that they are looking at the wrong person, so the target of the fake mermaid queen has become the target of public criticism." ”
Cheng Yun: "It is the weakness of human nature to believe in oneself too much and make excuses for one's mistakes. ”
Xintong: "Bingo." ”
Chengyun looked at Xintong, she had too many places that he couldn't see clearly, confusing him.
Pique: "Then are we still killing the fake mermaid queen?" ”
Xintong felt that Pique was asking stupid questions, and she gradually lost her patience.
Xintong: "Kill, why don't you kill, the fake is also very hateful, and there is a reward for killing the fake, why not kill?" ”
Chengyun: "It's late today, go back and rest first." ”
The three of them went back, but they still returned to the Phoenix Restaurant, Xintong gave the alcohol to Pique, and the two returned to the upper room.
