Chapter 2: The Edict of the Sea Whale
Lycott likes to watch scenes of abuse, especially when good things are destroyed by him, there is always a feeling of extreme excitement, and the screams of the weak are enough to make him crazy to the climax.
The homeless people call him a sadist, a devil, an evil person, and even call him more terrible than a monster, but Licaut doesn't care about this, and even likes the name abuser very much, which is good for the ear!
So when someone disturbs him to enjoy the sadistic process, he gets angry! Whoever makes him angry is locked up in the basement of his magic castle and tortured day and night.
Looking at the guy in front of him, with a wide tail fin, three-dimensional facial features, and lilac eyes, you can see a touch of light green, very beautiful, his face is pale and looks a little sickly, the whip just now made a red blood mark on his shoulder, like the dazzling red on the white pages of a black magic book, handsome and charming, Licourt has never seen such a perfect 'thing', his eyes narrowed slightly, he seemed to see the other party screaming and wailing in the basement of his castle.
I couldn't catch off guard and hit a spirit, it's just-
So beautiful!
"Who are you and what is your name"
Richot straightened up his shirt and asked, with an indescribable femininity in his demeanor.
For some reason, Connors shuddered when he heard this, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
"Connors Seaweed, Your Highness Licot, I wonder what has offended Your Highness in my subjects? ”
"So you're Connors Seaweed, the chief of the Seaweed Mini, I'm annoyed?oh~ You mean that pretty little girl, I'm not angry, it's just that the way she shot the water polo just now is so beautiful, I can't help but want to praise, want to whip, isn't it, little girl. ”
Never hiding his interest, Licourt squinted at the little girl hiding in Maypott's arms, whose crying suddenly stopped, and instinctively shrank into her father's arms.
"Uncle Mepott, take Scaler back to heal. ”
Connors wagged his tail slightly, keeping it in Licourt's view
"What's the matter with the Seaweed Minor Department under Your Highness?"
"Znuva, you can explain. ”
Licauert stared at Connors without blinking, as if he was looking at something indescribably beautiful, which made Connors feel a chill in his back, and the eccentricity that Licauert liked to beat was 'famous'.
The pig-like mermaid squeezed and cursed from outside the crowd into the square.
"Old Guera, your dirty tail has touched my clothes, do you know how expensive it is, even if I sell you, it's not worth the line"
"Take your claws away, don't get in the way, can you afford to delay Your Highness?"
......
Because his figure was too fat and he had no strength to be pampered all year round, it took a long time to squeeze in, and he smiled flatteringly at Licourt before straightening his clothes, took out a delicate fish skin scroll from his pocket and slowly opened it, looked up at Connors and straightened his throat above his head:
"The output value of the small part of the seaweed has declined for three consecutive years, and the quality of the potions handed in is far less than that of other small potions, and it is no longer among the small potions after identification, and if the small potions of sufficient quantity and quality cannot be handed over after three months, the qualification of the small tribe will be cancelled, and as a punishment for the loss of a small potion by the sea whales, all the subjects of the tribe will be reduced to outcasts, and the chief will be punished with a hanging type, and the executor will be in the middle of the kelp - most of the sea whales."
"The chief of the seaweed department, this is the edict of most of the sea whales, you can accept it"
With a hint of taunting, Znu handed the fish skin scroll in his hand to Connors, the hanging type is to nail people to the wooden pillars, so that the blood attracts fish to eat, which is extremely cruel, but just now this guy seems to have been favored by the young master, and he may not have to be hanged but directly imprisoned in the basement of the castle.
Thinking about the scene in that room, Znu couldn't help but shudder, it was much more terrifying than the abyss.
Connors took the fishskin scroll and read the text quickly, word for word, there was a whale pattern in the lower right corner of the scroll, which was very beautiful after the blessing of magic and kept rolling, but now this suddenly undoubtedly his talisman, the whale's open mouth seemed to engulf him completely!
For a moment, Connors wanted to escape, he was about to be tortured to death as soon as he crossed over, don't bring such a playman, but he quickly vetoed it, how vast the territory of most of the whale is, how can he escape by himself.
That is to say, after three months, if there is no batch of mature potions that must be at least of the highest quality, he will be nailed to the stone pillar and bitten and eaten by a group of fish, which is comparable to Ling Chi!
Where can I get the potions, the surroundings have been searched for a long time ago, and it is impossible that there are wild potions, as for the magic seaweed that has problems now, the old chief has been looking for more than two years when he was still alive, and even the magicians have invited him, but until now, he has not even found out the reason, what to save and treat.
For a moment, Connors seemed to fall into a cave of ice, and fear enveloped him like night.
"You can't just give up, there are still three months, and there has never been a traverser who has just come and died. ”
Looking at Connors, who was still a little hopeful, Licourt smiled slightly, but he was tired of studying magic and came across such a beautiful thing.
"Luck."
......
Licourt went back with anticipation, but the seaweed tribe was dead, the tribe was about to be disbanded, and they had to return to their status as outcasts, hungry and fed, with no source of livelihood.
The source of it all points to one thing, the magic seaweed.
Decades ago, Connors's cheap father discovered a small potion growing on a piece of fertile soil during a fishing trip, and he was so excited that he refused to offer the potion to the middle of the kelp in exchange for a large amount of wealth, and instead scattered his wealth to collect the homeless, applied for the position of tribal chief from most of the sea whales, and established a small department of seaweed near the abyss.
But this place is close to the abyss, there are not many fish, and there are monsters infested, except for this small potion there is no other supporting industry at all, so the small tribe has never developed since its establishment, and there are only more than 500 people so far, not even half of the population of other small tribes. Originally, he could live a chic life with the little potion Connors, but since three years ago, the production of magic seaweed has become less and less, and the quality has become worse and worse, and the amount handed in has changed from the beginning of the surplus to making ends meet, and now it has been excluded from the list of small potions.
Although the potion was discovered by the chief and was managed by him, the ownership of all the potions under the territory of the Sea Whale Department is still the majority of the sea whales, and most of the sea whales mean that I don't care what the reason, if something goes wrong with the potions, the responsibility will be held to the chief, and the previous father simply died, leaving Connors with such a mess.
"Chief, are you alright?"
After handing over her daughter to his wife to heal, Maypot hurried back, shocked and deeply worried when she heard the news of the tribe's imminent dissolution from the merfolk around her.
"It's nothing, Uncle Maypott, you bring everyone here. ”
The impact of the edict was even more serious than Connors imagined, and now the people of this tribe are panicking, and in the memory of this small tribe that was sentenced to death collapsed in half a month at most, the trees fell and scattered, and the inhabitants of the territory fled with their own property, and perhaps they could buy an inferior person with a small amount of property, and even steal other people's property, and some homeless thieves and robbers would also take advantage of the situation and steal everything they could.
He had to find a way to stabilize people's hearts, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to struggle.
It's just a little bit of kung fu, and the people who can come from the whole tribe have come, most of them are in rags, and even some children are not clothed.
Five hundred people said not too much, but less was not too much, Connors was a little nervous to speak in front of so many people for the first time, but he still swam up hard, in order not to be eaten by the fish, he had to use all means to overcome all difficulties.
"Hello everyone, I'm your chief Connors Seaweed"
Saying something unnourishing, Connors's mood calmed down a little
"I think you already know that if our seaweed department can't come out with the corresponding potion after three months, it will be disbanded, and everyone will become displaced again. ”
After Connors said this, there was a low noise, the life span of the Hatamu people is more than one hundred and fifty years, and when the cheap dad took people in at the beginning, he only accepted young people, so except for the new generation, they have basically experienced the life of homeless people, and they have no source of income and can only live by fishing, and they are driven away by people from other tribes, even if they are beaten and killed, no one will care!
"I don't think you want to go back to those days. ”
That's what everyone is saying.
"But what can you do, Chief?"
A bold resident stood and shouted from below
"Nope"
It's only been a few days since Connors traveled to the present, and he hasn't even seen what the potions look like.
"But even if the tribe goes out of business, how many of you will be able to buy an inferior status? And as far as I know, the surrounding tribes are living a tight life and will not take in anyone else, your only place to go is the middle of the kelp, but you have also seen the appearance of the people in the middle of the kelp, it is right to be high, but they don't treat us as human beings at all, now, you still have the official inhabitants of the tribe, they can bully and beat your children at will, and rob your belongings, and you can only watch, and even hold the ...... in both hands"
"I'm sorry Uncle Maypott, I didn't mean to tear open your wounds, but I do need a convincing argument now. ”
Connors silently apologized in his heart, and shouted again at his maximum volume
"Once you become inferior, that is, slaves! What can you do but starve to death without a mouthful of food, your children, grandchildren, and generations will be slaves to be bullied! ”
"Of course, you will say that the homeless people can't even get food, they can only steal, rob, and fight until the end and then be killed by the tribe's guards, which is good, if they are captured alive, they will be hung on the pillar and let the fish bite to death, but please give me two months, as long as two months, if there is no chance, you can do what you want, there is still a month, I think it should be enough for you to arrange."
"Think about it, as long as it takes two months, if I fail, I will be sent to a stone pillar to be bitten to death and eaten, but your end will not be worse, but once it is over, you are the inhabitants of my territory, not outcasts, not slaves, and your descendants can stand upright instead of kneeling like sea dogs!"
Connors gasped slightly, his ex's health had always been bad, and he was injured and his body couldn't stand it for him to speak so loudly.
"Now, if you want to go, you can go now, if you stay, please help me for another two months, I, Connors Seaweed, the chief of the Seaweed Mini, I am very grateful to him."
Connors bent down sharply, lowered his head, and was so nervous in his heart that he didn't even dare to look at it, if the inhabitants of the territory were gone, he would really be finished, but that's all he could do now!
