Chapter 252: The Bet

The Gold Coast, the southernmost point of the human world, has long been a paradise for traders and adventurers, and a mecca for gold rushing.

Normally the port city of 'Golden City' had high prices, but now that the war has brought down the streets, there are fewer people doing business - although the Golden City has installed troops, the merchants and poor people have been largely evacuated inland.

"Will that girl come?"

Finally found a place to sell flatbread, Xia Han bought breakfast for him and Helena, and the mermaid priest changed into a humanoid posture to accompany him, but did not arouse the guard of the patrol.

"I think so......"

Xia Han was eating dry cakes as he walked towards the blocked port, thinking to himself: "Actually, the most important thing is not whether she will come or not. ’

There were many obstacles and troops to be seen in the port, and there were no sounds of battle outside, so the summer cold came at the right time. It's not a big deal that he came to the port and was blocked, even if he doesn't reveal his identity, he can come up with a suitable token.

"Marquis Order, may I ask who you are ......?"

A young commander held the token given by Xia Han, and after checking that it was correct, his attitude immediately became cautious.

Many newborn nobles poured out in the Restoration War, and the surnames of these nobles that had not been embellished by time were not remembered by the officers now, so no one doubted that Xia Han used Zhu Han, who came to mind temporarily.

He only claimed to have come on a secret mission, and was soon granted free passage through the port.

At noon, the illustrated book reminded that the ten priests were about to arrive. Xia Han pulled Hailina and walked towards the ocean.

"You merfolk have ten priests. What is the last one called? ”

"Ah...... Why are you asking this...... Helena was a little uneasy, but she felt that the name didn't matter: "Her name is Shuiyu." ”

"Water Jade."

Xia Han stopped less than a foot in front of the rolling waves, and took another step to the boundless ocean: "It turns out that she lied to me at the beginning......"

The mermaid told her that her name was 'Water', but it was actually a surname - but the two met briefly, and they lied to each other, and they didn't have that close relationship.

[Sure enough, you have to do it......]

Xia Han shook his head, he stepped forward, Helena screamed, her body floated, and she was pulled by Xia Han to stand on the sea. Walk forward as if it were flat ground.

"How could it be ......?"

She turned back. looked at Xia Han in shock - this power is much stronger than when he captured her, is he really looking for someone?

Xia Han walked forward slowly, he stopped talking, but his momentum became stronger and stronger with his pace. Blue dots of light began to appear around him. The magic began to spread like snowflakes. Then it fell to the surface of the sea......

The sea seemed to be quiet. The waves disappeared, and everything under the sea was silent.

Helena was stunned for a moment, she noticed many familiar breaths at the bottom of the sea. That's the breath of compatriots, and there are a few that are particularly powerful.

The priests are here, how could they come-Xia Han's invitation with Helena as bait, these priests naturally won't miss it. They came here to recapture their sisters, and set up a net to wait for Xia Han and the two to appear.

But Xia Han's momentum became stronger and stronger, and the other priests buried at the bottom of the sea did not dare to do it. On the other hand, however, the tenth priest has not yet appeared, and it is not known whether he was discovered by the other priests or unwilling to appear.

[The plan can't catch up with the change, but it's just ......]

Xia Han stopped: "Come out, I have no intention of fighting, and I don't want to use it to solve problems." ”

He waited with Helena in his arms, unsure of the usefulness of this hostage, and the priests at the bottom of the sea seemed to start to make noise, and soon a song sounded, but it had no effect on Xia Han.

"Why aren't you influenced by our singing?"

After a long time, bubbles finally bubbled up on the surface of the sea, and countless fishmen occupied the front, while the four priests stared cautiously at Xia Han behind them.

Two priests have already left when they find something wrong, and two more have stopped starting out, but the four priests plus the one in Xia Han's hand have already occupied five-ninths, which is enough to represent the ruling body of the Sea Clan.

The possibility of catching them all was too small, and Xia Han didn't have the heart to do so, so he found a familiar face from the priest.

"I have not been influenced by your singing since I was a child." He smiled at the Ten Priests and said, "You are indeed here, let's stop the war......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Like Xia Han, the mermaid girl has grown up, and she has become a beautiful girl, but at this time she is tied up by her sisters.

The poor priest came running hopefully, only to fall into a trap, and the other priests found out that she was the one Xia Han was looking for and immediately tied her upβ€”for fear that another sister would fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Stop the war, I can't do ......"

However, the ten priests at this moment, surrounded by clansmen, couldn't cater to Xia Han's words.

"No, you can do it, you can do it together......"

Xia Han shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart-'It's more suitable than I imagined. ’

Tushu heard his heart, and sighed.

"The master has actually thought of this possibility a long time ago, and the news you released was deliberately shown to the other priests, just to solve the problem of the tide in one fell swoop."

It had already guessed what Xia Han was going to do, and it had already seen the scene where the priests had promised.

However, in fact, this was really just an accident, Xia Han didn't expect the Sea Clan priests to appear at first, he had another way to use the ten priests. Now that this method was no longer necessary, other priests appeared and gave him a better solution.

"This war is fruitless, and your sea gods are no longer standing by your side."

"I have an easier solution to this war with the fewest casualties, and I think it's a really great idea for you."

Xia Han looked at the other priests and saw the doubts on the faces of these women before he started again.

"Let's take a gamble, with war and the future as a bet."

He uttered astonishingly: "If you win, I will surrender to you on behalf of humanity and accept the fate of destruction; And if I win, you just have to stop the fighting, and you have nothing to lose. ”

The current situation is clear at a glance, and after Qinglong gave up, Haichao has no hope of victory. The war on land and sea would result in a defeat for both sides, but it would never be a victory for the tidesβ€”as the priests knew.

"Is that true?"

A priest walked out, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty the King of Men should not break his word......"

She actually knew Xia Han's identity!

[It seems that they came here by no chance......] Xia Han was suddenly in his heart, but he didn't forget to nod.

He looked at the Ten Priests: "The content of the bet is the same as before......" (To be continued......
