Chapter 249: The Dead
The solution proposed by the illustrated book sounds simple, but it is very difficult to do.
Xia Han's impression of the demon clan has never been very good, not to mention that the woman has already regarded him as a prey. Knowing that the other party was a huge threat, and completely giving up the idea of killing her, Xia Han was a little confused for a while.
He roasted rabbit meat over a bonfire, taking the opportunity to calculate the gains and losses in his heart, and the mermaid priest was temporarily put aside by him, but he didn't expect the other party to wake up after a while.
The moment Helena opened her eyes, she closed them again, but she didn't avoid Xia Han's attention.
"You're awake."
He spoke calmly, and his gaze followed.
"Ah...... Hmmm......"
The petite priestess watched her surroundings nervously, and she found that she was not injured, that there was some meat roasted on the campfire, and that there were no extra tools, and it seemed that the mage was not going to kill her yet.
Helena couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xia Han on the other side of the river certainly didn't know that the mermaid priest had such a deep misunderstanding, he divided the barbecue in half and handed it to Helena, and easily weakened the restraints on her body so that she could eat normally: "You should be able to eat this, right?" ”
"We'll eat meat...... But, what kind of meat is this......
Helena has never seen a rabbit, and the merfolk eat meat just like life on earth, and fish and shrimp are the main ingredients. But they don't usually use fire, and the cooked meat looks very unfamiliar, and Helena is afraid that it is the flesh and blood of her compatriots - the mage of ** will definitely do such a thing.
"Rabbit meat." ”
Xia Han replied simply, but didn't explain much.
The news given by the illustrated book just now made him worried, and naturally he couldn't show a cheerful expression. He had already begun to think about how to get this priest to help, and no matter what happened to the demon woman, Xia Han still decided to make Hai Chao his first job.
Aside from the fact that the war continues to cause greater casualties, the complexity of the job is no more difficult than fighting the demons. He is instructed to meet with the mermaid girl he once knew, stop the war, and break the seal.
Xia Han had learned enough experience in the past, and the Holy Beast informed others of the news of the Mermaid Queen, and now the supreme leader of the Sea Clan was the nine priests. And to get there, Xia Han has to make the 'Ten Sacrifices' the new queen - and make her like herself.
How to defeat the other priests to obtain the throne, how to make her like Xia Han, this is a very difficult challenge.
Xia Han didn't have the confidence or any plan to complete them in a short time, he couldn't think of an answer, he could only sigh, and decided to take one step at a time - meet first.
By the time he turned his attention to Helena again, she had already eaten the barbecue.
"I have no ill will towards you, I just want you to help me find a friend this time." Xia Han didn't want to continue to delay time, so he directly pulled out the topic: "She is a girl from your mermaid clan, if you help me find her, I will let you go." ”
The illustrated book had already told Xia Han the identity of the person he was looking for, but he was not stupid enough to reveal it. Helena didn't know who he was, so he could use a safer and safer way to call out the 'Ten Priests'.
There aren't many skills required.
"Looking for someone?" Helena's movements stopped, and she looked at Xia Han with big eyes: "You're just looking for someone?" ”
"Yes."
"You'll let me go if you find it?"
"Yes."
It was too simple—Helena was ecstatic, she hadn't thought of such a possible surname.
But she didn't feel strange after Xia Han brought it up, the girls of the mermaid clan are all beautiful girls, coupled with beautiful voices, they have never lacked men's affection. In fact, mermaids have always been based on their own looks and singing voices, and their history is based on these two things.
"Whoever you are looking for, I'll help you."
Helena immediately slapped the ** package ticket, and Xia Han's image in her heart instantly changed from "**mage" to "a stupid man who was confused by his compatriots".
"I'm looking for ......"
Xia Han was stunned, he had forgotten the appearance of the mermaid girl before, and after so long, he didn't know what he had become now.
But it was useless to know, and if he could, he wanted to avoid letting Helena discover the identity of the person he was looking for. In this way, it is better not to say the appearance, the song, and the word 'water'......
"I don't know her name."
His eyes flashed, and finally he shook his head: "She didn't tell me. ”
"Do you have any tips then?"
Helena was nervous.
Xia Han thought about it, how should he express it-"Well, my name is Zhu Han, and I met her many years ago, when I asked her to find her at the bottom of the sea to find her friend's body. ”
"If you tell me about it, just say I'm waiting for her on the Gold Coast, and she should know."
Xia Han played a side game, he told the 'Ten Priests' the word 'Han' back then, the name 'Zhu Han' met the conditions, and she was the only one who knew about finding the corpse.
Since the mermaid girl named 'Water' has become a priest, it should not be a secret that she once tried to sing with humans in the first place, but Xia Han didn't think she would tell everything.
Really...... Helena didn't notice.
"It's too simple, you take me to the beach and let me get the word out." She showed a relaxed expression: "But you have to talk!" ”
Using an ordinary mermaid in exchange for her own **-Helena naturally won't hesitate, her identity is too noble, how can those civilian girls compare. Of course, if she knew that Xia Han was looking for the Ten Priests, the situation would change again.
"I've always been a man of my word."
Xia Han smiled, things were going so smoothly, and it also dispelled a lot of his worries.
However, in another place he didn't know, Mona Lisa, the female lord of the demon race, was lying on the soft bed, worrying and pondering, thinking about how to deal with the 'hatching' of the illustrated book, she was just as wary of each other as the book, and would not do nothing.
After a long time, she stood up and looked into the distance, unusually cold.
"Only woke her up."
She chanted a spell into the distant sky, an astonishing act that no one understood - the Mermaid Queen, far away in the Sanctuary, opened her eyes.
In fact, just as Mona Lisa guessed, Suzaku and Xuanwu did not attract the attention of the mermaid queen, they appeared to be like this, but in fact they cast a net in the outside world. In today's Sanctuary, only the green dragon guards the beautiful mermaid queen and tries to wake her up.
And he also noticed the queen's awakening at the first time.
However, the next moment, the guardian of the sea constricted his pupils, and his face was full of incredulity.
"Lord Blue Dragon......"
It was the voice of the elf wife of antiquity who had died - (To be continued.) )
