Chapter 30: A Thousand Miles to Find a Girl

The land of the merfolk of the deep sea

The mermaid king stands in a daze under a fresco.

The mural depicts a very beautiful woman, whose head is rising from the trees, between the gaps in the verdant trees, revealing her skin as white as snow, her long black hair scattered on the surface of the lake, and a pair of clear eyes, without a trace of dust, but her eyes contain pity and love.

I saw her sitting comfortably by the lake, bright and holy, her demeanor was incomprehensible, her white clothes reflected in the water, and the falling flowers fell on her head one by one, on her clothes, and on her shadows.

Behind her was a small mermaid, as if she had just been born.

The woman looked at the mermaid lazily, a motherly smile on her lips.

Looking at the mural in a daze for a long time, the mermaid king's expression was also very complicated, from the previous remembrance, to the later sadness, and then to joy, and the most reluctant, longing and helplessness.

His hand appeared on top of the mural in the air, not daring to touch it, but caressing it vaguely, as if he was afraid that he would desecrate the woman on the mural.

The mural is none other than the goddess of life who created them, and she is their creator god.

Hundreds of years ago, the goddess fell into a deep sleep, and the messenger of the goddess brought the goddess's scepter, and wanted to choose the master for the goddess's scepter for the time being, and when the goddess made the scepter again, the scepter would regain its glory.

The first guardian of the Goddess's Scepter was his wife, who had lived in her body for hundreds of years, but the radiance they had been expecting had not materialized.

Until the birth of the daughter, this spiritual scepter actually chose the newborn daughter as its second host.

As his daughter grows up, the scepter has been in peace, and the king is anxious but there is nothing he can do, maybe the goddess will not wake up until a long, long time later!

Unexpectedly, everything has changed since Scepter chose Graniwin as his master.

No one thought that the youngest daughter, who had always been the most well-behaved, would run away from home, and everything quietly changed with Graniwin's runaway.

After her daughter ran away, she sent a lot of people to look for her, but her daughter seemed to have disappeared and was never heard from.

It's been three years, when I have given up a little, one day, the mural suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the deep sea clearly.

The wife told herself that she felt the breath of the goddess's scepter.

I am happy to hear such news, since my daughter became the second owner of the goddess's scepter, my wife has cut off contact with the scepter, and now the connection is back, and the strange appearance of the mural, it must be that the goddess is coming back!

Seven days ago, his wife left the deep sea and went alone to find his daughter, and he wanted to go with him, but he knew that he was more needed here.

The strangeness of the seabed will inevitably attract the treasure hunt of those who are interested, and when the dragon is leaderless, the mermaid kingdom will be hit.

It's been seven days! I wonder if the wife of Lu Dao will be able to bring back their daughter safely.

Seven days later, Jessica put one hand on her chest and looked worriedly at the lake of thorns, surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

Just yesterday, she felt the aura of fear coming from the goddess's scepter.

When the Goddess Scepter is activated, it will change its mood according to the mood of its owner.

Before, it had always been easy, so Jessica wasn't worried about her daughter's situation, she just wanted to find her as soon as possible.

But just last night, that deep fear gave Jessica an ominous premonition that something must have happened to her daughter.

She rushed to the thorn lake early this morning, she could clearly feel that her daughter was at the bottom of the lake, and she wanted to go into the water to find her, but was blocked by a group of vicious soldiers.

Feeling the deepening fear in her heart, Jessica knew that her daughter must have encountered some danger, and looking at the hundreds of soldiers, Jessica exhaled deeply, ready to break through.

As a mermaid, it is rare to encounter danger in the sea, so many mermaids are not very strong, but Jessica is different.

He is their queen, she has been cultivating hard to protect their people, and now she is already a seventh-order water system archmage, so she will only be relieved that she will come out alone to find her daughter and husband.

As long as she doesn't face too strong an opponent, Jessica is confident that she will be able to bring her daughter back safely.

Reciting a complex spell in her mouth, Jessica was eager to save the girl, and at the beginning, she used a seventh-level water system group attack magic to summon wind and rain.

As the incantation was uttered, the water in the Lake of Thorns turned into a long dragon and soared into the sky.

The dragon rolled high, the wind was fierce in the sky, and it was pouring rain.

As the rain fell, the soldiers felt as if their movements had slowed down, and this feeling made the soldiers all clench their swords vigilantly and look around vigilantly.

"It's her! It's the woman in the morning! ”

With a soldier's exclamation, all eyes converged on Jessica's body.

At this time, Jessica was hiding behind a big tree, trying to jump directly into the water while the soldiers were panicking, and when the time came, even if the soldiers wanted to chase them, they would not be able to catch up.

The kind-hearted Jessica had a good idea, and the magic she had unleashed earlier was not an attack skill. It's just that it's slowing down, she doesn't want to hurt anyone, she just wants to go in and find her daughter.

However, her kindness was still let down, and a soldier discovered her, and all the soldiers' eyes were focused on her.

Looking at the soldiers who were obviously much slower, but still viciously holding their weapons and gradually approaching her, a trace of hesitation flashed on Jessica's face.

The heavy rain in the sky continued, and as Jessica's mouth moved slightly, the soldiers who had been fierce-looking suddenly put down their weapons and looked at Jessica with a calm face.

Mermaid Song: Legend has it that merfolk have a natural singing voice, often singing to tempt passing sailors and cause the ship to run aground and sink, and the crew becomes the mermaid's belly. Legend has it that the mermaid's voice can go directly from her heart to your heart, and can directly control your consciousness.

But those are just legends, the real mermaid song is a natural sound that can soothe the human soul, she can remove the negative influence in the soul, let people return to their true self, return to the peace of mind.

For most soldiers, the endless killing and fighting had long since made them lose themselves, and it was the mermaid song that temporarily washed away the sins in their hearts, so it was able to calm them.

Seeing that her singing voice played a role, Jessica also breathed a sigh of relief, although the other party was numerous, but as a seventh-order water system archmage, it was still easy for him to defeat a group of ordinary soldiers. It's just that she doesn't want to increase the senseless killing, and if she can solve the battle without blood, that's what she wants to see the most.

When Jessica saw that the soldiers were unwarn, Jessica smiled and wagged her fishtail as she prepared to enter the Lake of Thorns.

Just as she turned around, there was a sudden angry shout behind her, and then a sharp sound of breaking wind came from her ears.

Jessica subconsciously chanted a spell, and the temperature around the mermaid queen plummeted instantly, and the air began to condense, and in an instant, several ice shields appeared in the void, and then quickly rotated around Jessica.

Unfortunately, there was so little time left for Jessica to cast a spell, and that time was simply not enough for her to complete a full spell.

The Ice Shield had only just begun to condense, and it was simply not enough to withstand powerful attacks.

So a few ice shields had just begun to take shape, and they were broken by those few sword qis, and then they were castrated towards Jessica.

As a mage, reaction speed has never been her strong point, and she didn't react at all, she was hit by the sword qi, the scales flew sideways where she was injured, blood overflowed, and two terrifying wounds appeared on her legs and back, and for a while, the skin and flesh rolled up, and Jessica's whole person fell down.

The timing of these sword qi sneak attacks can be said to be quite accurate, just when Jessica thought that the song was working and was not vigilant.

Seeing Jessica fall, the sneak attacker stepped out of the soldiers' formation.

The armor on this sneak attacker is obviously different from other soldiers, the coat of arms on the armor and the exquisite workmanship vaguely show people that this warrior is not simple, he is tall, but quite thin, with a cold aristocratic temperament, in fact, the expression of his face is gloomy, it is difficult to have a good impression of him.

The first time he saw Jessica, this sneak attacker knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the seventh-level magistor, but as a strong man, there was still no problem in resisting Jessica's singing voice, so he chose to forbear, hid among the soldiers, and waited until the best time to choose a sneak attack, and when he saw that his blow was successful, he walked out with a smile.

The intense pain in her body made Jessica almost faint, but thinking that her daughter's life and death were still uncertain, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

Although she was a seventh-level magus, she was seriously injured, and even if she stood up now, she was no match for the swordsman who attacked her.

So watching that despicable swordsman slowly walk towards her, she chose to treat others the way she did.

The corners of Jessica's mouth trembled slightly, silently reciting an obscure incantation, her body trembled violently because of the pain, and this kind of performance seemed to the sneak attack swordsman Jessica was already at the end of the road, if Jessica intended to sneak attack, she would definitely be motionless to numb herself.

Maybe God was also going to help Jessica, so her sneak attack worked anyway.

Seeing the swordsman getting closer and closer, Jessica's magic was gradually completed, and just as the swordsman was about to bend down and prepare to flip Jessica, the magic in her hand had already formed and shot towards the other party.

Tide Arrow, the Merfolk condensed with the power of water into an elemental arrow capable of breaking the protection of any armor and hitting opponents directly.

At the moment when Jessica completed the spell, the swordsman suddenly felt the threat, and subconsciously blocked his chest with the big sword in his hand.

But to his horror, the blue arrow seemed to ignore matter, directly piercing the greatsword in his hand, and then piercing his chest, and then he could feel the irritable water elemental constantly destroying his body structure, and then he lost his vitality and fell to the ground.

Seeing the swordsman fall, Jessica did not let her guard down, the arrow condensed by the tide under the severe injury had consumed all her mental power, and she did not have any magic power to control those ordinary soldiers.

And those soldiers also slowly woke up after the swordsman's death, and surrounded them with angry faces.

Jessica smiled bitterly, was she really unable to save her daughter?

There was a tremor in the earth, and Jessica, who was lying on the ground, felt it even more obviously.

The soldiers also turned their heads, and a group of heavily armored soldiers in the distance hurried towards them with neat steps, and the armor on their bodies was completely different from that of the palace guards.

There were more enemies, and Jessica's heart sank, and just as she was desperate, a mutation occurred, and the heavily armored soldiers turned around the palace guards.

Although the guards looked puzzled and angry, they did not dare to resist when they looked at the murderous soldiers.

A moment after the situation was brought under control, a soldier who looked like a general walked over quickly, and when he saw Jessica's seriously injured appearance, he asked anxiously:

"Are you a friend of Granivan? Where is she, I'm going to save her! ”

Jessica looked at him, anxiety and worry written on his face, and out of merfolk instinct, she felt his sincerity and kindness.

Whether or not he really went to save Granivan, he could only pin his hopes on him. Thinking of this, Jessica hesitated for a moment, and finally took off a piece of jade pendant that was still stained with blood on her body and handed it to the general.

"I'm Jessica, Graniwin's mother, and I can sense her underwater, and with this jade pendant, it can take you and your soldiers underwater."

Jessica looked at the general's resolute face, hesitated, and finally asked:

"You're going to save Granivan, right..."
