Probably because he has been eating "takeout" since he came to this world, Huaxi didn't expect the teacher to have this craft.

After being slightly stunned, he immediately ran back to wash his hands excitedly, and then ran into the kitchen to help cook.

Lin Tuo's original intention was just to prepare the food for tomorrow's sacrifice, but thinking that he had come, he bought more and came back.

"It's also good to have some home-cooked meals once in a while."

After working for more than an hour, a seafood meal was baked, one large and one small, and the two of them carried the table and ate it in the small courtyard, which was also interesting.

Of course, Lin Tuo's skills are not as good as those of the outside cooks, but for some reason, Huaxi is very happy to eat, and after eating, he also undertakes the work of washing the dishes.

Lin Tuo didn't stop him, he agreed with a smile, and then put the ingredients he had reserved in the refrigerator from the kitchen.

After doing this, he slowly returned to his study and continued reading the magic book.

……

……

There was no word that night.

The next day, the sandbox time was about 10 a.m.

Lin Tuo's figure landed from the sky again and came to the island.

He thought that he had come early, but he didn't realize that those sea tribes were already waiting.

"Your Excellency the Human Wizard, you're here!"

On the island, when Peya saw Lin Tuo's figure coming, she immediately jumped up from the stone and said in surprise.

Behind her, there was the same team from yesterday.

"When we came, we didn't see you, and we thought ...... I thought it was ......"

"Thought I was leaving?" Lin Tuo put on his cloak and said with a smile.

"......" Peia blushed.

Lin Tuo smiled: "Okay, let you wait for a long time, let's go, by the way, you can take these books with you as sacrifices." It's my gift. ”

"Huh?" A group of krakens were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly thanked them, and Peya was obviously more reserved as the captain.

Ordering his subordinates to carry it, he wagged his tail and pointed to a platform made of water elements on the sea, and said, "Please, this is the ship we have prepared." ”

Lin Tuo was curious, he thought that he would have to fly all the way by switching bodies, but he didn't expect that there would be such an experience.

The entire platform resembles a flattened blister, rippling in the sunlight.

When he stepped on it, two sea tribes immediately pushed behind him, and the rest of the sea tribes scattered around to escort him, and Peiya sank half of his body underwater.

As he walked, he chattered endlessly to Lin Tuo about the details of the "begging sacrifice".

“…… The begging sacrifice began at noon and was held by the queen herself, and last night the whole tribe was busy all night preparing sacrifices and building altars......"

"From here, at our speed, well, according to human timing, in about half an hour, we can reach ......."

"Boom la la ......"

The sea breeze was light, Lin Tuo was shrouded in a black cloak, his hat hung softly behind his head, listening to Peya's muttering introduction, smiling, and becoming more and more curious about today's ceremony.

……

……

About an hour later.

When the group entered a certain calm sea, Lin Tuo was surprised to see a magnificent altar floating on the sea.

Yes, floating altars!

It is actually made of cold ice, presenting a regular circle, which is imprinted with patterns that conform to the aesthetics of the sea tribe, and there are ice sculptures, some of which are shaped like animals, and some of which are similar to flowers and plants.

Floating calmly on the surface of the sea, through the surface of the sea, you can faintly see ropes that bind and fasten them to the nearby reef to prevent drifting.

Dense sea tribes, swimming among them.

Above the ice floe altar, there are about a thousand sea tribes dressed up in costumes, placing one strange item after another in the center of the altar.

From a distance, it is noisy and lively.

"Here it is, that's the altar we built overnight." Peya proudly straightened the two shells on her chest and said.

"It's ...... Pretty. On the sea, Lin Tuo looked at the hustle and bustle in front of him and couldn't help but admire.

On the way, he learned that the Sea Clan, which has the ability of the water element, can easily make ice cubes, but he didn't expect it to be so fine.

In the admiration, the group kept approaching, which also attracted the attention of countless krakens on the altar.

"Wow! It's Pea, they! ”

"The one who wears the clothes, the human she mentioned?"

"Can he really talk to us?"

One by one, the sea tribes talked curiously, and they didn't turn their backs.

"Dear human wizard, I am the Siren, Queen of the Sea Clan, and welcome to you."

Just as Lin Tuo stepped onto the ice floe altar, he heard a calm and soft voice, and the sea tribe dispersed one after another, and a sea tribe wearing a strange and gorgeous fabric swam over with a smile.

She was bigger and more beautiful than the rest of the Sea Clan, with a crown woven over her head, and at this moment, she was looking at it with a pair of curious and gentle eyes.

"It's also my pleasure." Lin Tuo smiled.

Hearing that he could actually talk to herself, the Siren Queen's eyes were noticeably brighter, and she smiled: "It seems that Peya really didn't lie to me, you really understand our language." ”

Lin Tuo smiled and didn't explain.

The Siren Queen seemed to know a certain amount of human etiquette, so she didn't ask, just pulled Lin Tuo to talk casually.

The latter didn't care, anyway, this group of sea tribes didn't know much about the North and South Continents, no matter what he said, he was right.

Combined with what he had seen and heard when he was searching for books in the Northern Continent before, plus some imagination, Lin Tuo introduced the customs of the Lower Continent vividly.

Soon, when the sun rose to the center of the sky, the entire huge altar suddenly fell into silence.

"Pea, you take the guest over there." The Siren Queen looked up at the sky, instructed Peya, and immediately smiled apologetically at Lin Tuo, "The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin." ”

"Please." Lin Tuo smiled, and then followed Peiya to the edge of the altar, where a large number of sea tribes also gathered, some of them were on the ice, and some of them were diving to the bottom of the sea.

Not all sea tribes can participate in the begging festival, especially Peya's outgoing squad, which mainly maintains law and order and sits in the audience.

"Here we go!"

With a whisper from someone who didn't know, Lin Tuo heard a strange sound of music.

That's the music of the Sea Clan.

From inside the altar came the music, played by the musicians who circled in a circle.

As creatures of the sea, their musical instruments are so varied, and as the music flutters, dancers dressed up on the altar dance at the same time.

And spread out his voice and sang in a strange tone.

The melody is melodious, like the waves of the sea.

"Is this their art?" In the audience, Lin Tuo closed his eyes slightly, listening to the music that echoed in his ears, and in the center of the altar, the Siren Queen and several sea clan leaders also danced with a unique flavor.

In the sound of the music, colorful bubbles rose and floated into the sky.

For a while, Lin Tuo was a little distracted.

It's truly a beautiful sight.

At the same time, the Peya and other sea clans beside him also clenched their hands together at about the same time, put them in front of their chests, closed their eyes, and raised their heads slightly, as if sensing something.

After a few minutes or so, the sound of the music faded until it faded away.

The dancing sea tribes also stopped dancing.

In the audience, countless sea tribes opened their eyes and looked at the empty sky, slowly, showing disappointment.

"What's wrong?" Lin Tuo looked at Peiya beside him a little strangely, and immediately, he saw that the squad leader's ears were lowered, and he barely pulled out a smile, "It seems that the eyes of the gods have left." ”

“…… You mean, the sacrifice has been completed? Lin Tuo's expression became very exciting.

"Yes," the Siren Queen in the center of the altar smiled bitterly in the silence and slowly swam over, her face full of loss, "I thought it would be a little different this time, but unfortunately, the gods still didn't respond to us." ”

"......" Lin Tuo opened his mouth, a little unsure of what to say, he thought that this was the opening dance of the sacrifice, where did he think that this was gone......

Compared with the long and complicated sacrificial rituals of human beings, these sea tribes ...... Really...... Short.

It's so short that Lin Tuo hasn't reacted yet, and he should be fed.

What's next?

Just leave?

Aren't the ingredients prepared for free?

Lin Tuo was silent, thought for a while, and said to the Siren Queen, "Perhaps, it's just because there are some small problems with your sacrificial methods. ”

"Oh?" The siren was stunned, a little puzzled.

Lin Tuo organized the language in his heart and said slowly:

"In our human kingdom, there are legends similar to yours, as well as related rituals.

As it happens, during an expedition not long ago, I stumbled upon an ancient book that contained a spell...... If it is true that His gaze has not yet departed, perhaps, you can try. ”

Incantations?

Hearing this, the Queen of the Sea Clan was stunned for a moment, and immediately became serious.

After all, in their legends, the gods have spoken to humans many times, and the recent manifestations, too, seem to be related to the human continent.

In particular, the wizard in front of him was able to come to the depths of this stormy sea alone, presumably, even in the human kingdom, he was an extremely powerful figure.

The Queen of the Sea Clan naturally didn't dare to ignore it, but she ...... Incantations...... Can it really be?

"Of course, I'm not sure if it's real or not......"

"What is it?" The Sea Clan Queen finally asked.

Hearing this, Lin Tuo showed a faint, slightly mischievous smile, walked a few steps closer, approached the siren, and recited the "incantation".

"That's it." He said.

The Siren Queen stared at him stunned, her eyes full of confusion.

That's it?

A very strange "spell" without any magic fluctuations?

As the strongest of the clan, the Siren Queen has a keen intuition for magic and the realm of the otherworld, which is also a talent of the Sea Clan, which can even help her to predict danger to a great extent.

But no matter how much she chewed, she couldn't perceive any power in this spell.

"Want to try it?" Lin Tuo asked with a smile.

“…… Good. ”

After hesitating for a while, probably because of the kindness of the guests, the Siren Queen finally nodded reluctantly, and then, under the puzzled eyes of countless Sea Clans, returned to the center of the altar and talked to the rest of the people.

About a minute later.

The sound of music as quiet as the waves of the sea resurfaced, and in an instant, Lin Tuo only heard the Siren Queen and the sacrificial sea tribe in the center of the altar raise their necks at the same time, but did not sing.

Instead, he shouted out the "mantra" pronounced in Chinese with a solemn, neat, loud, and round-hearted face:

"Me!"

"Hungry!"

"Ahh

With the blessing of magic power, these three words quickly spread far away, spreading, and spreading to the dense sea tribesmen around the altar.

Then, under their bewildered gaze, they continued to swing away.

……

Meanwhile.

Leaving the mountain martial arts hall, in the study.

Lin Tuo's body suddenly woke up, and he quickly pinched the one with his hand and placed it on the table, the soft, slippery squid tentacles.

Yes, this is the ingredient he is ready to "give".

A small piece of squid tentacles cut out last night.

"If you're hungry, you have to scream." With a narrow smile on his face, with the induction between him and the clone, Lin Tuo's hand slowly fell into the sand table.

The ocean is rapidly amplifying.

……

Sandbox No. 2.

Storm Sea, on a certain sea.

When the Siren Queen led the "ministers" of the Sea Clan around her to shout the incantation in unison, for some reason, she felt an inexplicable burst of shame.

However, before she could think about it, she felt that the bright sky suddenly darkened.

"Look!"

"Look!"

"What's that?!"

In the midst of an exclamation, the Siren Queen raised her snow-white neck, her hair fluttering in the sea breeze, and her eyes, which were larger than humans, reflected a huge tentacle that fell from the sky with suckers.

“…… Incantations...... Got into effect?! ”
