The Kraken's explanation silenced the listener. Hela suddenly realized something after a few seconds and said, "I remembered. The reason why Heartless Bay is called Heartless Bay is because the first sailors who pioneered here found a lot of corpses with their hearts cut out on the sea! And in the early history of exploration, it was also clearly recorded that the Kraken had the habit of killing people and digging out hearts, but it was only later that such things gradually became less and less after humans gained a foothold in Heartless Bay, and finally it was regarded as a strange talk made by sailors in the early years. ”

"Compared to the Kraken, humans are very forgetful creatures. It only takes a generation or two for the catastrophe that struck a hundred years ago to become obscure, and without any incitement, someone will jump out and question it, and finally become an unknowable legend of truth or falsehood. This is also the strategy of the hot waves, all along, they have regarded the humans in Heartless Bay as livestock, and when they need sacrifices, they will catch a few sacrifices to the tide lady, and when they don't need it, they will put on a kind appearance and say anything to live together. Fioni whispered, a hint of loss in his tone.

"So why are they going to kill all the domesticated animals in one fell swoop this time? I mean, even if the Burning Waves Kraken didn't treat humans and other Krakens as free creatures, they wouldn't have to wipe us all out, it's not a normal farmer's doing. Lothar's brow tightened, revealing a puzzled expression. He could feel that Fioni had done his best to restrain himself when describing the Burning Waves Siren, but he could still smell hatred in his seemingly objective words.

"I have no way of knowing. The shapeshifter shook his head, "All I know is that the Fierce Waves are fully mobilized now, and the slaughter of the Shark Tooth has clearly excited the goddess they worship, urging his followers to offer more sacrifices. Or, what we are experiencing now is just a war waged by the tidal priests in the name of faith, who have taken advantage of the anomalies of the Misty Seas to weaken the power of humanity in an attempt to take control of the seas into their hands. Maybe they really want to turn humans into domestic animals this time. ”

The ambiguous answer was that this time not only did Lothar wonder about Fioni's statement, but the witches had already sensed something from the Kraken's words. Kiri stood up and walked around Fioni a few times, her gaze visibly resting on the wound on the latter's chest, "Looks like you almost became a sacrifice?"

The shapeshifter's face was visibly distorted, and the cheeks on his shoulders were forcefully opened and closed, probably in the same way as the human's gasping in, "Yes." I had tried to figure out why they had started this war. Also trying to get them to abandon this pointless battle. But they can't listen to me anymore. ”

"Really?" Kiri raised an eyebrow, she didn't think that Fioni's state was simply because of the madness of the former people, and there was something deeper and more intimate that plagued the Kraken, "I'm curious how you managed to escape from that stone if they really planned to sacrifice you." Especially if the priest has already stabbed your chest with a knife. The witch said, placing her fingers on the shapeshifter's wound, her index and middle fingers gently moving through the notch in the scales.

Naturally, Fioni was displeased by this gesture, and he reached out to grab the witch's wrist, but the latter took it back before him, with a playful smile on his face. "The person who stabbed you didn't want you to die. He, no, she was too slow, hesitant and confused, and a little struggling. But her stab is so accurate that it's not misaligned, and if she can't see through your anatomy, she's done it many times. Combined with what you just said, you should have a good relationship with a priestess of the Burning Waves. ”

The shapeshifter tried to say something, but opened his mouth but didn't make a sound. At this time, another kraken, who had been silent for a long time, Jaquia spoke in place of Fioni to answer the witch's words, and the huntress's words made the rest of the team fall silent again, "It's not an ordinary priestess, the wounds on his body were left by the chief priest of the waves." The high priest, to be precise, was newly inaugurated. By the way, if he hadn't broken away from the hot waves, that position would have been his. ”

"Wait a minute, my mind is a little messy. I can understand that Fioni has such a position in the Lietao clan, but if the wounds on his body were really left by the chief priest of the other party, how did he escape?If I understand correctly, the chief priest of Lietao should be the same existence as the king of the human race, the great witch of the witch, if he is targeted by such a guy, how did he escape?" Lothar reached out and pressed it on his forehead, his eyes opening and closing one by one, looking quite confused.

"It's simple. As she walked up to the Count, it was hard to imagine that she could make such a complex facial expression while biting the conch in her mouth, "Even the chief priest doesn't have someone to follow her every move. After all, priests are just people who serve the gods, and when they do things that have nothing to do with or even contradict the gods, they themselves keep them secrets from others. And I suppose the relationship between the chief priest and our shapeshifters is definitely not that simple, is it?"

Fioni's head bowed. He hides his face in the shadows from others. The rest of the team looked at each other, and it had to be said that while Qili's thoughts and actions were contrary to common sense most of the time, there were some issues that the crazy witch had a surprisingly sensitive personality. She loves to uncover the secrets that have been hidden, so she won't let go of the opportunity at the first opportunity, and Kiri once again stands in front of the shapeshifter, bending down to look at his face from below.

"She's close to you, isn't she, no, I should say, you grew up together, right? What do you think of her, family, friends, sisters or, lovers..."

"Stop, we already know what we need to know. The Count opened his mouth to try to stop the witch's actions.

Unexpectedly, Kiri quickly turned her head to look at Lothar and said, "Yes? Do we already know enough? Then tell me, how do you know that their relationship will not affect our mission? How do you know that the statement he just made is not emotional? How do you know that he will not betray us for the sake of that female Siren?"

"A wound in his chest..."

"What does that mean? no matter how deep the wound is, it is meaningless as long as it is not fatal or crippling!" said the witch, bubbles rising at the corners of her mouth, and she pressed her face close to Lothar to increase the sense of oppression, "who can prove that the wound was not a disguise they made to deceive sympathy? Even if it wasn't, the relationship between the two men was enough to be the biggest variable in our operation. The guides we rely on the most have a close relationship with the targets of our assassinations! What could be worse than this? Especially you stupid males, you..."

"Things between me and her won't be in the way. Otherwise, the Great Witch wouldn't have allowed me to be your guide. Even if you don't believe me, you shouldn't believe your great witch, do you?" said Fioni, puffing up his chest and speaking to the witch. There was sadness in his pupilless eyes.

"I agree with the Kraken. Peg chimed in, "I think the Great Witch let him take us on this mission after she found out about it." In fact, Peg's words have another meaning in addition to agreeing with Fioni on the surface, that is, if the shapeshifters really become an obstacle to the mission, the Great Witch still believes that with the ability of this team, it can still complete the mission. After all, why not jump over more big obstacles while facing a smaller obstacle?
