Chapter 593: Daughter of the Sea

Seeing the huge body of the unlucky deep-sea octopus completely turned into ashes in the flames, Rod put away the long sword in his hand and let go of the mermaid warrior who had been taken by him before. And that mermaid warrior seemed to be stupid by the combat power shown by Rod and Qilian just now, and just floated in the air in a daze. It wasn't until a moment later that she took a few steps back as if she had just woken up from a dream, looked at Rhodes hesitantly, and then saluted him respectfully.

"Thank you very much for your help, that, may I ask you guys ............"

As he spoke, the mermaid warrior looked at Rhodes and Qilian in disbelief, and it was no wonder that two beings in the water elemental world suddenly appeared that were not water elemental, but they were so powerful, which really surprised them. Fortunately, since Rod rescued them just now, these mermaids will not have any hostility towards Rod and the others, but confusion and uneasiness are indispensable after all. In the face of the mermaid warrior's inquiry, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and then spoke.

"I am the Void Dragon, this is my subordinate, we have come to the Water Elemental Realm this time, we have a very important matter to discuss with the Water Elemental Lord, if you can, please pass it on on your behalf."

"Your Majesty the Void Dragon?!"

Hearing Rod's self-introduction, the mermaid warrior's face suddenly changed greatly, and she hurriedly and solemnly saluted Rod again, and then said honestly and fearfully.

"I'm so sorry, and I beg your pardon for being rude, Your Majesty the Void Dragon. I didn't expect you to come to the Water Elemental Realm............ Please wait a moment. ”

Perhaps sensing that he couldn't say anything warm and welcoming, the mermaid warrior who looked a little green turned his head as soon as he said this, and ran to the other merfolk warriors. Then she said something to someone who looked like the leader of these mermaid warriors, and when she spoke, the other merfolk warriors also turned their heads in surprise and looked over at Rod, as if they were very surprised by Rod's arrival. But it's no wonder. Although theoretically the entire Dragon Soul Continent is governed by the Creation Dragon, there is very little interaction between a plane like the Four Elements and the main plane, and it is not usually seen that there will be a Creation Dragon to the Elemental Plane, and now that the Void Dragon will actually come here, it is no wonder that those mermaid warriors are very surprised.

After a few moments, the woman who looked like the mermaid leader "swam" to Rod's side. Then he solemnly bowed to Rod.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Void Dragon, thank you for your help. Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to repel the invaders so quickly........."

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing, and since you see it, it doesn't matter if you help out."

Hearing the merfolk warrior's words, Rhodes waved his hand indifferently and replied. And hearing Rod's answer, the mermaid warrior also knew that the other party obviously didn't intend to waste too much time here. So he didn't say much, but quickly made an inviting gesture.

"Your Lord's palace is here. Please come with me........."

"Uh-huh........."

Rhodes didn't care about the mermaid warrior's slightly cold response, most of the creatures in the water elemental world are gentle as water, and rarely have that particularly enthusiastic feeling. Therefore, he didn't expect to be able to get any welcome service here in the Water Elemental Realm. It was good to be able to do it like this, so he didn't pick a bone in the egg, but nodded, and then Rod seemed to remember something again, and spoke.

"That's right. I have three companions over there, so let's wait for them to come and go together. ”

For Rod's words. The merfolk warrior didn't mean to object. And Rod didn't say anything, and quickly made a gesture to Qilian, motioning for her to call the remaining three people over. Qilian also went to the rear quickly, and it didn't take long for someone to come over, but it was just ...............

"Where's the light snow?"

Looking at the figures of Anne and Suzu, Rod frowned. And to hear Rod's words. Anne spread her hands helplessly, and then made a depressed movement.

"Anne doesn't know, Captain. Just now, the little one was here with Anne to watch you fight, but when you were done, she suddenly ran away as if she was being chased by something. Anne wanted to find her, but she didn't know where she had gone. ”

Said here. Anne also looked quite depressed, and she felt speechless when she remembered the scene just now. Originally, watching Rhodes kill in all directions, Anne was still very excited, and planned to pull the bell and cheer with the little mermaid. As a result, Le Xue ran away before she could catch her, and disappeared after Anne reacted.

What's going on?

Hearing Anne's answer, Rhodes didn't say much on the surface, but deep down he was secretly puzzled. Tantxue is also very obedient and sensible on weekdays, and his performance in combat has always been very good, but after coming to the water element world this time, he has become very strange, always looking like a thief and seems to be afraid of being discovered, and now he actually ran away again. Rod could guess that she probably didn't want to meet with these merfolk warriors, but Rod couldn't figure out why Tarsueki did this. After all, she is also a mermaid, and naturally she was born and raised in the water elemental plane. In fact, Agawei could also be responsible for bringing them to the Water Elemental Realm, but firstly, Agapy's strength was not very strong, and secondly, Rhodes also planned to let the little guy go back to his hometown to visit relatives, so he finally chose the little mermaid.

It's just the performance of the little guy...............

"Forget it, let's go."

As his own card, Rhodes can of course sense the whereabouts of the little mermaid. After questioning Anne, he immediately found the whereabouts of the little mermaid with a little care. But what made Rod cry and laugh was that the little guy was actually hiding in the snow field not far behind them at the moment, digging a hole and burying himself in it -- the conscience of heaven and earth, Rod knew for the first time that mermaids could actually make holes?!

"Forget it, let's go, she'll follow herself."

Although as a host. Rhodes can easily perform a card reset summon, but at the moment, since the little guy doesn't plan to show up, Rhodes doesn't force her. He also knew that Light Snow must have something going on in the water elemental plane, otherwise it wouldn't be this secretive appearance. But it doesn't seem to be a life-threatening thing, so Rod will let the little guy play by himself.

"Did something go wrong? Your Majesty the Void Dragon? How can we help? ”

"Nothing."

Hearing the mermaid warrior's inquiry, Rod also came back to his senses.

"Nothing serious. It's just a little trouble, let's go. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although he was a little puzzled by Rod's words, the water elemental creatures were rarely nosy, so seeing that Rhodes didn't plan to say it, the mermaid warrior naturally didn't ask much, but nodded, and then took Rhodes and the others towards the center of the Ice Throne. It's just that Rhodes soon discovers that these mermaid warriors seem to be the same as light snow. They were very wary of Anne looking around, but they weren't too wary of Suzu -- could it be because they felt the smell of carnivores in Anne?

Under the leadership of the mermaid warriors, Rhodes and his party were also much more relaxed, after all, this was the palace of the water elemental lord, and the defense was also very tight. Not to mention that Rhodes and the others are all non-water elemental creatures, and they are also quite eye-catching along the way, and from time to time there are high-level guards of the Ice Throne who come out to investigate, but because of the presence of mermaid warriors. Rhodes and the others were not hindered too much, but entered the heart of the Ice Throne unimpeded.

But what surprised Rod was. The little mermaid who had been hanging far behind him actually entered the throne palace all the way. This made Rhodes quite surprised, originally he thought that the little mermaid would follow him like this, and there were so many guards on the Ice Throne, I was afraid that it would not be long before the little guy would be discovered. Rhodes was even ready to come forward and explain it himself. But what Rod didn't expect was that although the little guy followed him from afar, she actually escaped the interrogation of all the other guards. Not to mention these merfolk warriors who protect themselves, even the elite guards who guard the Ice Throne didn't notice her existence!

This little guy is really not familiar with the Ice Throne.

Thinking of the fact that Light Snow was able to take them all the way to the edge of the Ice Throne undetected, Rhodes became more and more curious about Light Snow's identity. Originally, he thought that Light Snow was just an ordinary existence in the merfolk group, but now it seems that this is not the case. Otherwise, how could she be so familiar with the Ice Throne? According to her way. I'm afraid that even without the help of these mermaid warriors, Rhodes and his party can quietly and silently run directly through the heavily guarded defense line of the Ice Throne and directly in front of the Ice Elemental Lord.

But it's a pity that they didn't come to the Water Elemental Realm to be thieves this time.........

"This is it, Your Majesty the Void Dragon."

Just when Rod was thinking nonsense, he had already come to the gate of the hall of the Ice Throne, and looking at the door in front of him that was completely formed by the condensation of the ice, Rod also immediately gathered his thoughts. After all, the most important thing now is the matter in front of you, as for the little caution of light snow, let's talk about it later.

“―――――”

The icy door slowly opened, and then, an icy chill emerged from it, but it was of little use to Rhodes and the others. On the contrary, Qilian snorted very unhappily, it is no wonder, how can she say that she is also a fire element lord, and this is the core area of the water element world, water and fire are incompatible, as a fire element lord, coming here is indeed not very suitable for Qilian.

Facing the icy wind, Rhodes led the others into the heart of the Ice Throne. The first thing that catches your eye is the huge throne in front of the center, which is made up of a large block of hard ice that is four or five meters high, carved into the shape of a throne. The ground was covered with cold, smooth ice crystals, while on both sides of the main hall, you could see the near-transparent walls and the sea outside. The entire Ice Throne looks like a large aquarium, making you feel like you're in an underwater world for a moment. As far as the eye can see, you can see seaweed floating in the sea outside and a variety of fish enjoying themselves in it, and it is particularly charming with its sparkling light.

"Wow ..............."

Seeing this scene, Anne couldn't help but exclaim, and Suzu also widened her eyes at the moment. Curiously looking at everything around him. After all, for them, the scene in front of them is a little too dreamy and incredible.

And at this moment, a cold, soft and flat voice sounded.

"Welcome to the Ice Throne, Your Majesty the Creation Dragon."

A common trait of water elemental beings is that their speech is always smooth, flat, quiet and soft. There are almost no emotional ups and downs. The same is true of this voice at this moment, although it does not contain intense emotions such as enthusiasm at all, but it makes Rod and the others feel as comfortable as a spring breeze, and even the discomfort caused by the cold wind just now disappeared in an instant. And with this voice, a slender figure appeared in front of them.

It was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties, her skin was as white and delicate as snow, and her long silky hair was completely condensed from cold ice, pure and flawless reflecting the soft brilliance. The blue eyes are as striking as the deep sea. The Water Elemental Lord stood up in a robe that looked like a translucent one, and looked at Rhodes and the others who had already entered the Ice Throne in front of him. And facing the woman in front of him. Rod also stretched out his hand and saluted. He knew very well that the woman in front of him was the Water Elemental Lord, the Ice Queen Audrey.

"Hello, I should say first meeting, Queen Audrey."

"We are indeed meeting for the first time, Your Majesty the Void Dragon. I've heard Agapì report what happened, and I didn't expect you to come to the Ice Throne in person. Seemingly. The Book of Elements thing really makes you really interested. ”

"Yes, I'm here for the Book of Elements."

Seeing that Audrey didn't plan to invite herself and others to sit down for a banquet first, drink a glass of wine and have some dessert, and then watch the singing and dancing, she went straight to the point. Rod was also relieved. Although the time flow of the elemental plane is different from that of the main plane, it is a little bit of time saving. And Rhodes didn't expect any trouble, such as if the news of the theft of the Book of Elements suddenly came during their feast - this possibility is very small, but for the player, isn't it rare for the player to do a task and achieve the final result? For example, saving people to the end, NPC is killed by the boss, and you can kill what the other party gets, but because of the cutscene, you have to watch the other party throw them into the river, and then go down depressed to look for it.........

Now I saw Audrey go straight to the point. Then Rhodes doesn't have to maintain social pretense anymore.

"The existence of the Book of Elements is very necessary for us, and I heard that the Book of Elements is on the water elemental plane, which is why I came here."

"You're right, the Book of Elements is indeed here."

Hear Rod's answer. Audrey smiled, then spoke.

"Before this, a group of elves from the main plane escaped to the water elemental realm by opening the elemental gates to avoid the scourge of war. And in order to repay our protection, they handed over the Book of Elements to us for safekeeping, but because the power of the Book of Elements is too strong and uncontrollable, in the end, after our Elemental Lords have discussed, they decided to seal the Book of Elements under the Ice Throne to prevent its uncontrolled tyrannical power from causing any damage to the Elemental Plane. But before I do that, I have one more thing..............."

Audrey blinked as she said this, and then she raised her head, and her gaze passed over to Rhodes and the others, and looked behind them.

"My child, aren't you going to come out yet? How long do you want to hide? ”

“…………………”

As the Ice Queen spoke, the little mermaid slowly emerged from the shadows outside the gate, and she hesitated into the hall of the Ice Throne with her hands staggered. Then a fierce man jumped up behind Rhodes, as if intending to use him as a shield. It's like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand, as if it's safe if you can't see it............ However, under the gaze of the Ice Queen, in the end, the little mermaid slowly poked her head out from behind Rhodes and whispered hello to Audrey.

"Hello......... Mother's ..............."

“…………………”

Hearing Light Snow's words, Rod's expression moved slightly, but he was not so surprised. From the very beginning of the little mermaid's performance, he knew that this little guy's identity in the water elemental plane was definitely not ordinary, and now he just confirmed his thoughts. On the contrary, Anne exclaimed in surprise when she heard the news.

"Alas, alas? Tamyuki, are you this sister's daughter? ”

“………… That's right, light snow is my child. ”

In response to Anne's inquiry, Audrey answered first. And Light Xue didn't say anything, just nodded. Seeing Light Snow like this, Audrey seemed a little disappointed, but in the end she didn't say anything, just sighed softly, and then came to Rhodes and made an inviting gesture to him.

"The Book of Elements is here, please follow me, Your Majesty the Void Dragon." (To be continued......)
