On such a major day as the 666 Poseidon Festival, Poseidon Square, which is lively on weekdays, is even more crowded. Acquaintances chatted and enjoyed the joyful festive atmosphere, while passers-by who had never known each other were infected by the festive atmosphere and occasionally exchanged a few words.

"Did you hear that? After the Battle of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Spear of the Winged King Raphael was obtained by the High Priestess of the Giants, and is now on display in the Temple of the Giants in the Snow City. An octopus man whispered to the crab man on the side.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? The crab man looked surprised: "I don't leave the house on weekdays, I really don't know, but in the past two days, the Sea Emperor has personally met the Marquis." ā€

A fishman behind the crab man cut down: "Who doesn't know this news in Acewell?" I've got some big news coming out lately. ā€

"Don't sell it!" The octopus man stretched out a tentacle and slapped the fishman's head.

The fish-man glanced at the octopus with a little dissatisfaction, and said, "More than a month ago, the Shadow Church group of lunatics reportedly appeared in Lyle City, and they fought with the people of the Dark Hand!" ā€

"Is there such a thing?" The crab man asked in surprise.

The octopus man had a "I already knew" expression: "It is said that it is because the Calamity Demon Dragon was born again." ā€

Seeing that someone had heard the news about him, the fishman couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and his eyes rolled: "Have you heard the news of the Blood Demon Knights?" ā€

"The Knights of the Blood Demon have also appeared?" Octopus Man was really surprised this time.

Seeing that the two of them were staring at him, the fishman felt a little proud in his heart: "It was also more than a month ago, the Blood Demon Knights appeared only two or three hundred kilometers away from Lyle City, and there was a small deserted village there, and most of its leaders were present. ā€

"What are they going to do in that kind of place?"

"It seems like I'm looking for something, and guess what?"

The octopus and the crab man looked at each other.

The fishman smiled: "It is said that instead of finding what they were looking for, the leader of the Thief Saint Group and the four commander-level thieves were injured and left there in disgrace. ā€

The octopus man gasped: "What force, so ruthless!" ā€

The fish-man shrugged: "How do I know this?" It's probably some kind of hidden powerhouse..."

He Lilan and He Ling'er were wearing civilian clothes at the moment, following behind Barr and Sean, who were also dressed in ordinary clothes. Not far away, the guards hidden in the crowd followed closely.

"Brother, look over there, mermaid, mermaid!" He Ling'er shouted excitedly.

"That's the mermaid clan (mermaids and mermaids are two different subspecies of the sea clan), besides, Ling'er, you can shout lightly, they don't like others to call them mermaids, because there is probably a mermaid young master in front of you..." He Lilan looked at her sister's eyes shining, and couldn't help but feel a little big.

The mermaid beautiful boy in the distance was attracted by He Ling'er's voice and glanced over here, but he didn't get angry, but smiled at He Ling'er gently.

"Brother, why is that octopus man's tentacles so long?" He Ling'er asked again.

He Lilan patted his forehead: "How many times have you said it, their name is Octopus Man, and the tentacle length shows that he is a kind elder." ā€

"Brother, then why is that lobster man's beard so long?" He Ling'er jumped and ran from He Lilan's right to the left.

"Oh my God, my dear sister, can't you just stop for a moment? Remember, use 'bit' for measure words, not 'only', otherwise it will seem rude. That, ahh ā€

"Brother, look at that big stone carving, it has to be ten meters high! Placed in the middle of the square, such a large thing looks like a road block. ā€

"Please, that's the god of the sea... We're going to be thrown out of the square if you say that..."

Marquis Barr listened to the hilarious question and answer between He Lilan and He Ling'er with a smile on his face, he was not young, but he had no wife, let alone children. At this moment, looking at the interesting story between He Lilan and He Ling'er, Marquis Barr's heart was surging and at the same time, he couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart: "He Tianchou, He Tianchou, even if I, Baal, fight for my life, I will protect your sons and daughters, and thrive along the path they should have!" ā€

Just as the Marquis of Barr was thinking about it, a loud magic salute rang out over Poseidon Square with the cheers of the crowd. As the cannon salute sounded, the priests of the Poseidah Lot Temple, dressed in gorgeous blue robes, led by a mermaid bishop dressed in a white veil, stepped out of the Tanah Lot Temple in a neat formation. Everywhere they went, the crowd consciously gave way to a way.

The ultimate goal of the priests was the stone sculpture of the god of the sea in the center of the square. Directly in front of the stone carving, there is a small high platform, which is where the priests stand. There is also a platform on the high platform that can accommodate only one person in size, several meters high, according to the custom in the past, it is a private standing station for Bishop Poseidon.

The priests lined up and walked up to the high platform, and the mermaid Clan Seagod Bishop just flicked his tail and jumped lightly onto the platform several meters high. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds and the stone carvings of the sea god, the mermaid bishop in a thin veil looks particularly holy.

The sweet female voice of the mermaid bishop spread throughout Poseidon Square: "The light of the Father is sprinkled on the earth, and the protection of the Poseidon is with us. Dear compatriots of the Sea Tribe, foreign tourists, the annual 666 Poseidon Festival is here again, let us give our enthusiasm to the great Father and the god of the sea who has sheltered us for thousands of years! ā€

The already noisy crowd was completely boiling! For a while, whistles, cheers, as well as the singing of the Sea Clan boy and the screams of the Sea Clan girl, resounded through the Poseidon Square.

After the crowd was restless for a few tens of seconds, the mermaid bishop stretched out her slender jade hand and made a downward motion. With the bishop's action, the audience slowly fell silent.

He Ling'er stuck out her tongue at He Lilan: "This mermaid sister is really a deterrent, she can be suppressed by one of her gestures if she makes such a fuss." ā€

He Lilan knocked He Ling'er's head: "Don't interrupt." ā€

Just when He Lilan and He Ling'er were fighting, the mermaid bishop continued: "Since it is celebrating the Poseidon Festival, then the most important thing is, of course, the sacrifice, and then ask our priest to offer our most gorgeous sacrifice to Lord Poseidon: a Heavenly Rank Demon Beast Demon Core!" ā€

The atmosphere of the crowd reached its peak in an instant! The Heaven-level Demon Core is not a cabbage, and the more high-level the Demon Core is, the rarer it is, which is a well-known thing. This heaven-level magic core alone is worth about a billion copper coins! Based on the fact that there are two million people in the entire Blue Eye, the average tax that each person needs to pay for this sacrifice is a full 5 gold coins!

In just a few seconds, He Ling'er only felt that her eardrum was about to be shattered by these fanatical Sea Clan people. She covered her ears and sighed in her heart: "It's good that our human race doesn't have such a large-scale fire god sacrifice, otherwise my ears are really not protected." ā€

Just as He Ling'er was muttering secretly, the Fishman Bishop had already turned around and raised the Heavenly Rank Demon Core that shimmered with blue brilliance above his head. Under the gaze of thousands of onlookers, the demon core slowly rose from her hand, and as it rose, it continued to release blue mist. With the release of the blue mist, the air became noticeably damp, and the pure water element made almost all the Sea Clan people in the square show a pious and intoxicated look.

The demon core rose higher and higher, reaching the waist of the Poseidon stone carving, then the chest, and the head. As it rises, the size of the core gradually decreases as the blue mist is released. When the core rose above the Poseidon statue, it finally disappeared completely.

"Lord Poseidon, accept the sacrifice of your faithful followers!" The voice of the Fish-Man Bishop was full of piety. Under the backdrop of the white veil, the mermaid bishop at this moment is full of brilliance, and he is afraid that compared with the holy women's group of the church, it is not much inferior.

As these words fell, the mist on the field seemed to produce spiritual intelligence, and they slowly condensed around the stone sculpture of the sea god, slowly... poured it into the mouth of the stone carving.

"Brother, what's going on?" He Ling'er's little face was full of questions.

He Lilan was not omniscient either, he couldn't help but look at Marquis Barr, who smiled at him: "The Seagod Stone Statue is originally an altar, and Lord Seagod can absorb sacrifices through the altar, and occasionally provide appropriate benefits to the sacrificers. The magic power of the Heavenly Rank Demon Core was of course absorbed by Lord Seagod. ā€

The mermaid bishop looked up at the stone statue of the god of the sea, and raised his hands above his head: "Please send down the oracle of Lord Seagod!" ā€

"What is this doing?" He Ling'er kept asking questions like a curious baby.

Marquis Barr patiently explained: "This is just a basic process of sacrifice, the sea god oracle has not been lowered in our entire sea tribe for hundreds of years, usually at this time, the bishop will wait for a while, and then say something decent. In fact, even without an oracle, the sea god still protects us at all times. ā€

Sure enough, a minute passed, and there was still no movement from the Poseidon statue. As the Marquis of Barr said, the mermaid bishop put down her hands, turned her head to the thousands of people in the square and said: "The sea tribe is prosperous, I think the sea god is very pleased with this, and today's sacrifice is here..." Many of the Sea Tribes in the audience pointed at her, as if they had seen some wonder.

"No, it's not looking at me, it's—" Bishop the Mermaid slowly turned her head, and the scene of her eyes almost popping out appeared, and a light blue light shot out of the eyes of the Poseidon Stone Sculpture, shooting straight into the crowd.

"It's the choice of oracles! The Son of the Sea has appeared! The sight in front of him made the Fishman Bishop almost fall off the platform in excitement.

The blue light attracted the attention of everyone present, and the crowd unconsciously forgot about the past in the place where the light shone. To everyone's amazement, the lens of blue light was actually a human being!

The blue light on the body gives people a very gentle feeling, but He Lilan, who is under the gaze of everyone, is in a confused mood at the moment: "Damn, why does this light shine on me?" What's going on? ā€
