Chapter 213: Sea King Island
Just as Coco's sister and her ship were heading in the direction of Revaze Island, in the interior of the Hydra Islands, on Neptune Island in the center.
Although it is not uncommon for the center of the stormy inland sea to have cloudy skies due to stormy weather, the clouds in the sky are now more muddy and gray than ever, and there is even a kind of black smoke that is not dark clouds at all, but simply continuous clouds of black smoke.
However, for such a vision, the relatives of the Hydra royal family on Neptune Island and the ordinary Hydra people did not seem to make a fuss. Although the chaotic pollution plot of the Storm Inland Sea will eventually affect each of them, not everyone has the ability and qualifications to play a role that has a certain influence on the ending in this plot, so most of them are still ordinary NPCs without self at the moment.
There are very few people who can really be affected by the event and enter the plot mode to partially recover themselves, and there are very few people on Neptune Island, and this part of the people has no objection to this strange turbidity and depression in the sky, in fact, as long as you look closely, you can find that these NPCs that trigger the plot mode, almost all of them have some strange changes, and their expressions are chaotic and arrogant compared to those ordinary NPCs.
That's right, on Neptune Island at this moment, almost all NPCs in story mode have now been eroded by chaos, and many people have been transformed into chaos monsters.
From this point of view, Jeshia's speculation is not wrong at all, although because she has not yet been able to finally complete the erosion and control of the current Hydra King, the mastermind behind the chaos pollution incident in the storm inland sea, has not yet been able to fully gain full control of the subordinate forces of the royal family, but at least in the area of Neptune Island, during the time when Jeshia went out to investigate and was attacked and disappeared, with the help of Prince Yekal, who had long been eroded and degenerated, The masterminds behind the scenes have taken all the people who might be able to support Jahia into their control.
It was supposed to be the royal power station that the Hydra clan spent hundreds of years to build, but at this moment, Neptune Island is full of all kinds of oppressive chaos and madness, but as the prince of the Hydra clan, Yekal does not have the slightest sense of sadness about this status quo...... It is better to say that he has degenerated into a real demon at this moment, but he is very satisfied with the change from order to chaos on Neptune Island. If it weren't for the fact that Yekal was in a really bad mood at the moment, he might have enjoyed all the way to the crazy manifestations of the creatures and plants on the island and even some of the depraved people.
It's just that this ambush and capture of his sister Jeshia failed again, which made Yekal really full of frustration and annoyance, and returned to Neptune Island, Yekal did not go to the place where the royal court was, but came to the west cliff of Neptune Island alone.
This is a place that is usually inaccessible on Neptune Island, Yekal came to the edge of the sea cliff, and then jumped down, skillfully stepping on a few protrusions on the sea cliff face, and after moving in twos and threes, he stood on a small stone platform on the cliff that could accommodate about two or three people.
Raising his hand, the ice blade made of magic cut a wound on his finger, and Yekal used dark blood to draw a very ancient-looking magic circle on the cliff on the side of the small stone platform, and the next second, a whole stone wall on the cliff suddenly made a strange vibration sound, and then sank inward, and soon, a hidden cave appeared there.
Yekal walked into the cave without hesitation, and after confirming the sound of the stone wall returning to its original state again behind him, Yekal walked briskly towards the cave, and after walking for about ten minutes, he came to an empty underground cave.
The entire underground cavern, illuminated by a strange hedron that glowed with a pale blue glow all over the side walls, and after getting used to the dim lighting, Yekal walked towards the depths of the underground cavern, turned a corner, and saw a figure standing in the middle of the cavern, Yekal stopped, and got down on one knee respectfully.
"Master, I'm back."
The "master" in the trench coat turned around and raised his hand slightly to lift the brim of the gentleman's hat above his head, revealing the face below that at first glance looked like that of a shrewd and miserly human businessman.
That's right, the master called by the demon Yekal, and the mastermind behind the series of chaotic erosion events of the Storm Inland Sea, is actually an acquaintance of Rococo - the god's "Nopra Merchant" Conte who accompanied the plague mage Bekaz during the Great Incident in the Holy City.
Seeing that Yekal had been demonized, Conte did not show any surprised expression, but after confirming that Yekal was only a person who returned, Conte finally showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"Why, it looks like something is going on with the mission?"
Demon Yekal buried his head even lower.
"I'm so frightened, master, my subordinates are incompetent, and the mission you gave me has failed."
"Oh?"
Conte's tone was obviously raised, and Yekal, who heard this, couldn't help but tremble slightly. But fortunately, although Conte is indeed a little angry, more doubts prevail.
"Tell me more about what's going on, obviously before you left, I remember that I should have delivered you enough chaos power to transform into a demon in advance, right, what, after demonization, you are still not the opponent of that Jiexia?"
So, with a somewhat frightened tone, Yekal told Conte in detail everything that had happened when he went to ambush Jeshia.
“…… Hmph, interesting ......"
After hearing what Yekar had to say, Conte narrowed his eyes and smiled wickedly at the corners of his mouth.
"The possibility of the awakening of the Sea King, as well as the participation of those human adventurers from outside the human race, these are actually expected for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't have let you bring five mid-level demons with me, and at the same time, I also granted you the power of chaos that is enough for you to demonize in advance......"
Hearing Conte's words, the demon Yekal's eyes couldn't help but widen, and the awakening of the Sea King of Jeshia gave him a great shock, but now it seems that his even more terrifying master actually expected such a possibility early on.
“…… It's just that I didn't expect to underestimate these foreign adventurers...... No, judging from the information learned during this time, among the human adventurers who are constantly pouring into the inland sea, there has never been an existence that can possess this kind of strength. Owner of a Godhead Fragment in disguise? No, the strength is too low, it should be unlikely...... It seems that we may have been too unlucky, and maybe we happened to meet the individual at the top of those foreign adventurers. ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Conte's face changed from the original interest to a little cold.
"But...... This is a bit tricky now, originally the Hydra princess, there is only the possibility of destroying our final plan, but now, this princess has become the new Sea King Awakened, and there is a group of elites of foreign adventurers to assist her, if she is successfully connected with the Hydra Elder's Courtyard, and then wait for the reinforcements sent by the Elven Clan and the Goddess of Creation Sect, things will become troublesome...... Sure enough, although the timing is a bit early, the House of Elders must also take action......
Speaking to himself, Conte already had an idea, and with the smile on his face gone, Conte spoke to Yekal.
"I'm disappointed in you for this failure, but I've decided to give you a chance to make up for it."
Demon Yekal didn't look up, but his voice sounded much more relaxed than before.
"Yes, please command."
"The chess pieces that you were asked to bury before in the Elders' House can start moving, find out what has been going on there recently, and whether Jahia has arrived there, and report to me as soon as possible."
"I see."
With that, Yekal stood up respectfully, then turned and walked out of the cave.
When Yekal's movement had vanished from the cavern, Conte turned and faced the depths of the cavern, where a waterhole that looked different from the rest and glowed faintly.
At the moment when Conte came to the edge of the pool, suddenly the tranquil water surface suddenly rose, and a crystal water snake instantly emerged from the water, opened its mouth and bit at Conte fiercely.
However, Conte just snapped his fingers, and from the bottom of the clear pool, a large amount of filthy black substance suddenly appeared, and then from the water surface, a turbid gray-black mist emitted out, and quickly entangled towards the body of the water snake, and the original crystal water snake instantly infected into gray black, and then, the water snake suddenly dispersed by itself, and fell into a water block again. The filthy black matter in the water began to decompose and melt silently, and eventually, the waterhole returned to its original deathly calm.
Looking at the pool of calm that had returned, Conte laughed wickedly.
"It's really tenacious, Your Majesty the Great Sea Beast King, but is your resistance so weak now compared to the great battle when I first came here...... Haha, although it seems that you still want to hold on, I can already see the 'good' future of the great Sea Beast King, His Majesty Najlik the Abyssal Hydra, who has finally fallen into the Super Chaos Lord Fallen Abyss Hydra Najrik. ”
For a moment, the calm waterhole seemed to show anger, and once again there were signs of waves, but it seemed to be afraid of the muddy black mud that could be suppressed but still stirred at the bottom of the waterhole, and in the end, the waterhole maintained its original calm.
Seeing this, Conte only snorted lightly, but did not continue to taunt the abyssal hydra that had sealed itself here, and turned away from the waterhole, this time he came to a corner on the other side of the cave that looked darker than the others.
At first glance, it seems that the light does not shine here, but if you look closely, you will find that there is actually an old man wearing the royal costume of the hydra, but the old man's body is wrapped in layers of dense turbid gray mist, so at first glance, it will feel that the surroundings are unusually dim.
“…… However, since the plan has changed compared to before, it seems that the progress of the Abyss Hydra must be slowed down," said Conte, raising his hand and releasing a large amount of thick evil gray mist from his palm again at the old man who was wrapped in gray mist, "If you want to destroy Princess Hydra and the House of Elders in one fell swoop, the military strength under the command of the royal family is necessary, so Your Majesty the Hydra King, although it is earlier than expected, please join your son as soon as possible and contribute to the great 'freedom'." ”
