Chapter 718: The Legend of the Bitter Pool
Although the merman's tears are a bit eyebrow-raising, they are still cloudy and foggy, and Guo Quan and Prince Chun can't understand the truth.
Because Guo Quan was still shouldering the mission of King Darjia, he took leave of absence from Prince Chun and sent someone to deliver his credentials to the king of Botuo. After that, he went to the royal palace as a prince of the Pennsylvania tribe.
For various considerations, Prince Chun ordered a pair of elite soldiers to follow Guo Quan to the palace, while he continued to stay in the inn and ponder the puzzle.
After dark, Wan Guan and the others hurriedly returned to their residences, panting and said, "Lord Wang, what a hellish square, it's still there, it's really there!"
Moreover, that square is not called Juri Square now, if it weren't for an old man, we would still be black-eyed!
The Juri Square is in the south of the city, and it has been abandoned. I heard that it was haunted!
Although it is haunted, I don't know why it has become a holy place for tourism and adventure. ”
"Ah...... This, this, people here really like this kind of thing......" Prince Chun couldn't help but sigh, and then asked, "How do you say that?" ”
"It is said that there was no water in that place, Juri Square, right? It's where the sun is very big.
However, one day, suddenly, someone heard a muffled sound, and then, the pond that had been dry for an unknown number of years suddenly became flooded!
The water was like boiling water, steaming hot and smelling of sulfur!
Then there began to be various legends, the most reliable of which is that once there lived a fish-man in that place......"
"Fish-people?"
"Well, it's like a human and a fish......"
"It's a merman!?" When Prince Chun heard this, he immediately remembered the story that Guo Quan had said before about the merman's tears.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's a merman! Anyway, it probably means that this merman saved a woman who came to seek death, and fell in love with this woman from then on.
However, this woman did not love the merman, and the reason why she came to think about it was because her husband was looking for flowers and willows outside, and ignored her.
Actually, if you don't like this merman originally, it's good to leave. But in order to take revenge on her husband, this woman pretended to accept the merman.
After that, the woman's husband became jealous and promised the woman that he would never come out again, but that the woman must kill the mermaid to prove her innocence.
The woman was overjoyed when she saw that her husband was willing to change his mind, so she made a basket of poisonous snacks for the merman.
The merman did not doubt that he had him, but he thought that the woman had made it specifically with him, and he ate it with joy.
After being poisoned, the merman died in agony, and his tears covered the entire pond.
At the last moment before he died, he made a curse: if a couple eats mermaid beads together, if they are sincere, they will be able to grow old, and if they are false, they will die on the spot.
Many couples ran to find mermaid tears, and it is said that many people died during that time.
Later, the king, fearing for the safety of the people, brought in a sorcerer. The sorcerer said that this mermaid was born in the water, and it is the most yin thing, so it is necessary to use yang.
So, the king filled in the previous pond and made a giant sun square to suppress the evil spirits.
But then there was another incident, and everyone said that the merman was too angry, and he was suppressed for so long, so it finally broke out.
Some people also say that it is because the wizard who suppressed him at the beginning has passed away, and as time goes by, the power of the seal disappears, and the resentful spirit of the merman comes out again!
The king went to another wizard for help, and the wizard said that since the merman was even more angry because he was suppressed by the Giant Sun Square, he should simply change the name of this Giant Sun Square!
Therefore, that Juri Square is now called the Resentment Pond. ”
