Chapter Seventy-Four: The Spirit of the Siren
Half a month ago, the Snow Eagle Kingdom
Outside the road leading to the Heavenly Canyon in the northwest of Wangcheng, a team of mercenaries was marching. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The horses in the team are not horses, but snowboars, which are unique to the Winter Mountains. The prototype of this riding beast is a boar, and the lazy production team just casually changed the white color on the prototype of the boar, and then enlarged the fangs three times, and didn't care about the imbalance of body size, and the snow boar was born.
This is a team of twelve mercenaries, but obviously the rank is obvious, only two people really ride on the snow pigs, the rest of the mercenaries can only walk, and the extra three snow pigs are covered with all kinds of baggage.
In the marching procession, there were no two pairs of eyes staring at them in the dense forest.
"Uncle El, are you really sure these guys are bastards from the Castle of the Two Lions?" It was a crisp girl's voice that spoke, and although she covered her face with a piece of linen, it was only Anna who could say it at this time.
The loyal servant Al on one side met up with Anna a day earlier and informed her of Lilith's death, so that Anna would no longer have to worry about the affairs of the eldest lady. But Anna refuses the loyal servant's request to find the knight named Ray.
After the death of the eldest lady, Al had no idea what he could do. He had been Lilith's servant of Daddy Wanderer from the beginning, and there was nowhere to go after his master's death. Seeing Anna's resolute expression, as if seeing the eldest lady resurrected, he decided to follow Anna with a twitch of his head.
At this time, the two of them didn't know that there had been a rebellion in the Frost Wolf Country, and they were about to go to the Frost Wolf Country, but they happened to find this strange team of mercenaries on the way.
Speaking of mercenaries, a few words often flash in people's minds: drunkard, sloppy, open-minded for money, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, selfish...
In short, it is reasonable to throw all derogatory words on mercenaries, and it cannot be said that all mercenaries can be generalized by these derogatory terms, let alone mercenaries.
It's just that in the background setting, most of the mercenaries fall within the derogatory range. However, the team of mercenaries that appeared in front of Anna and Al definitely did not belong to the derogatory category, let alone a few praising mercenaries.
Because it is so neat, whether it is from the way of marching or the posture of hurrying, it should not be what a lazy mercenary group should have, but more like a group of soldiers.
But from any point of view, Anna felt that there was something wrong with this mercenary team, because the loyal servant Al knew one of the mercenaries riding on the Snow Boar, a cavalry squad leader in the Double Lion Castle.
Speaking of a thousand words and ten thousand, Anna, who has a deep hatred for the Double Lion Castle, naturally cannot not keep an eye on this team of Double Lion Castle soldiers disguised as mercenaries.
Disguised as a mercenary team to operate in the territory of the Snow Eagle Kingdom, such behavior is extremely suspicious. After all, the relationship between the Twin Lions Castle and the neighboring countries has always been good, and being able to do such an act only means that this team must be hiding secrets that cannot be known by the countries of the mainland.
Anna and Al followed the disguised team for two days, and found that the team was not heading in the direction of the Twin Lions, but instead bypassed the Snow Eagle King City and headed southwest.
After two days of watching, Anna found that there were always two soldiers standing by a snowpig with black curly hair on his head, whether they were camping or resting.
The snow pig did not have a lot of materials tied to it like the other snow pigs, it only had a wooden box the size of a half-human strapped to its body.
In the spirit of hurting others and not benefiting herself, Anna, who holds a grudge, decides to steal the contents of the black curly snow pig's back.
It was a starry night, and the weather made the soldiers who had been eating and sleeping in the open for days very tired, and even the two seemingly boss-looking guys riding on the snow boars had set up camp in advance.
It was probably because the journey was too peaceful, and not even a single thief was seen, and compared to the vigilance when they first met, the guards' vigilance was now too lax.
I saw a black shadow quietly touch the vicinity of the mercenary team by taking advantage of the shadow left by the bright moon in the sky when it was obscured by the clouds.
The twelve mercenaries were unaware of the arrival of the black shadow, and as usual, they left two to guard the black curly-haired snow boar, and the rest began to camp and rest.
At this moment, there was a sound of 'knock knock knock' from the dense forest on the side of the road, as if something was knocking on the trunk of a tree, although the sound was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by the mercenary group camped at the edge of the forest.
According to the custom, although they are all wearing leather armor, as the boss of the mercenary, they must wear something different. I saw that the bewitching slut who had a completely different painting style from others said in a deep voice: "Fili, Qiao, and Senri, you three go to the woods to have a look." ”
Suddenly, three mercenaries walked out of the mercenary team and cautiously walked into the woods with their weapons.
Although El makes a noise in the woods to attract enemies, El himself is a scumbag, and it is impossible to bring down the enemy.
Although it only attracted three enemies, it also made the defense in the camp much more relaxed, and these guys didn't seem to think that there would be people in the barren mountains and wilderness to rob the mercenary group that was known for its bitterness, not to mention that they were not a mercenary group in the first place.
Just as Anna was about to throw a stone and lure away one of the mercenaries in charge of the guard, a voice rang in her ears: "Don't lose it! You'll be discovered! ”
Anna was startled, and immediately retreated into the grass where she was hiding, and looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.
"No need to look for it, I'm still trapped in the box."
Anna was stunned for a moment, and looked at the box that was tied to the black curly snow pig.
As if knowing the conjecture in her heart, the voice whispered in her ear again: "Yes, I am on that pig." If you want to get me, I might be able to help you! ”
Anne was stunned again, believing that the voice came from the box, but she didn't expect that the contents of the box would want to steal it, what kind of development is this?
But this time, the voice in the box couldn't guess the conjecture in Anna's heart, and said to herself: "I will confuse the two guards with the Kraken whisper in a while, and you take the opportunity to take me out of the box, and the box greatly suppresses my ability." ”
Before Anna could speak, she heard a murmuring sound lingering through the camp. The remaining mercenaries in the camp suddenly looked confused, as if they were confused, and they staggered and couldn't stand firmly.
Slowly, everyone sat down and fell into a deep sleep. I can't help but let Anna complain that she knew it was so easy, so she didn't let Hal make a noise in the woods to attract enemies.
There was no room for too many moments, and seeing the snoring throughout the mercenary camp, Anna cautiously stepped out of the shaded grass and walked towards the box.
Stepping over the sleeping guards on the ground, Anna untied the rest of the box, and when she opened it, she felt a damp breath in her face.
"Hurry me out, my power is not enough, the magic can't last long, and they are about to wake up!" The voice rang in Anna's ears again.
Anna didn't expect the box to be... I could only grit my teeth and take off the green cloak behind my back, wrap it around the little man in the box, pick him up and disappear into the dense forest.
Ten minutes later, the three mercenaries emerged from the woods after searching to no avail, and returned to the camp to find corpses lying on the ground, snoring.
Their faces changed dramatically, and they immediately woke up the captain who was sleeping by the campfire, and soon after, the captain's angry cry was heard in the camp.
...
Anna rushed to the agreed place with El with the little thing in her arms, and the loyal servant Al was ready to take the place of Miss Anna, because it was a soldier of the Castle of the Two Lions. Although he tried to delay for a long time, he never thought that Miss Anna could steal anything from those soldiers.
It turns out that this kind of thing is something that everyone is happy to see.
Al watched in amazement as Miss Anna emerged from the dense woods with a green object in her arms.
Just as she was about to speak, Anna directly pulled the horse that Al had prepared, got on the horse quickly, and urged Al who was standing on the side with a blank face to run away. Because not long after leaving the camp, she heard the loud voice of the mercenary captain.
...
Running all the way, just when Anna thought she had escaped the pursuit of the Double Lion Castle, the voice of the little thing in her arms came to her ears again: "Don't stop, they have something in their hands that can find my traces, find a place with a lot of water to hide, so that they can confuse their sight!" ”
Anna was taken aback, and although she knew that she should not casually listen to something she didn't know from at this time, she still couldn't help but head towards the southwest, because there was a waterhole nearby.
...
It was a damp cavern, and Anna and El had taken refuge in it with the guidance of the little thing in their arms.
The dampness of the cavern was heavy, and the moisture from the small thing in her arms made Anna feel like she was soaked in water. In such an environment, the two could not and did not dare to light the torches, but fortunately, they could barely see through the reflection of light from the water surface.
Al walked over and asked in a low voice, "Miss Anna, what did you steal from those people, why did you flee in such a panic, this place is half a day's away from the woods just now, they probably won't look for it." ”
"You didn't hear him?" Anna was a little surprised, after all, she walked in hiding and hiding, and the little thing in her arms didn't talk less, but Al didn't seem to hear it.
Al asked with a puzzled expression, "What did you hear?" ”
The little thing wrapped in the green cloak in Anna's arms uncovered the cloak wrapped around her at this time, "They will still chase after them, as long as they don't return to the sea, or destroy the search totem in their hands, they will definitely chase after them." ”
Al was dumbfounded and looked at the little thing in Miss Anna's arms, this... This is...!
At this moment, the sound of human voices faintly came from outside the cave. There was silence in the cave for an instant, and only a voice outside was faintly heard: "Did you find it?" ”
"My lord, no trace was found."
"Huh? The totem shows that the last place where the Kraken's Spirit appeared was here. ”
"My lord, is this thing accurate?"
"Hmph, this is what the lord of the castle paid a lot of money to get from the warlocks in the underground caves. Easy to use is easy to use, but unfortunately it can only be used once a day, and the exact location cannot be displayed. ”
"My lord, there are traces of horses leaving in the woods over there!"
"Good! Let's go, don't let him go! ”
...
After waiting for a long time, until there was no sound outside, the cave breathed a sigh of relief.
"What the hell is this... What's going on? Al couldn't help but ask.
"Let me explain." The little thing in Anna's arms sighed and said:
"Legend has it that the tears of the Siren can see through a person's soul, and the tears of the King of the Sirens possess the power to confuse people's hearts. But this is just a legend, and even more terrifying legends abound, such as that after devouring the eyes of the King of the Siren, he can command the Siren.
It's ridiculous, after devouring the eyes of the alien leader, you can command the alien race, what kind of nonsense is this, and the king of the Kraken clan died in the invasion of the sea clan hundreds of years ago.
The Kraken clan has long since lost its king, the Sea of Witches in the east, the Deep Blue Sea in the west, the Sea of Winter in the north, and the Endless Sea in the south. The Kraken tribes of the four seas have been divided for many years, and they have been subjugated to the overlords of each sea.
However, it was not so long ago. On the continent of Anubis, a rumor suddenly appeared that near the island of Shagan in the deep blue sea, the Siren King's legacy was discovered.
The future King of the Sirens has short algae green hair, which is his most obvious feature.
A little Kraken obtains the inheritance of the King of the Kraken and becomes the Spirit of the Kraken. The Siren clan of the four seas will travel to the vicinity of Shagan Island to meet the inheritor of the Siren King, and the Kraken clan will be unified again.
The funny thing is that among the countless kings of the human race, large and small, some people actually remembered that ridiculous legend, in vain to capture the king of the Kraken and rule the Kraken clan with his eyes.
The greedy Terrans stared at the mighty of the ocean without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and the oath of betrayal was fulfilled on this day.
The magic ship Undead, who had signed a contract with the goddess of the sea, Clipsoe, betrayed his oath to the goddess of the sea, abandoned the trust of the ocean people in the undead, and took the search totem provided by the greedy Terrans, and captured the rumored future king of the Siren, the Siren Spirit, on that day.
After several rounds, the Siren Spirit was transported into the River Harbor and delivered to a fortress called the Fort, where the future Siren Spirit was locked in the Forbidden Demon Box and reduced to a pathetic cargo. ”
Anna looked at the little thing in her arms in surprise and said, "Could it be... You are the future Lord of the Siren!? ”
The little thing angrily lifted the green cloak covering itself and yelled angrily, "Shit! Those idiots catch people just by the color of their hair, the Kraken is a fish-headed human body, but I am a human-headed fish-body, my soul is faint! I'm a mermaid! Merman! ”
Anna: "......"
Al: "......"
