Chapter 229: A Great Disaster Strikes
When a large number of dead blue spirit flowers followed the current to envelop the magnificent underwater structure of the Burning Sea Siren, Peg and Hela, who came with the current, also discovered two companions who were unusually abrupt in the chaos. It's no wonder that being able to stay quiet in the midst of a strange chaos is another anomaly in itself, and the tricks that Kiri uses to keep out the Kraken are far less effective than those used by witches familiar with her spell-casting habits. So when the two witches landed on the platform and walked up to Lothar's side, no one was surprised.
"You did this?" Hela asked Kirly, referencing, of course, the crazed priests and the Kraken soldiers affected by the chaos. It's just that the Grave Girl wasn't very sure when she asked this question, and although Kiri had always had the ability to bewitch people, her magic shouldn't have such a terrible effect. Even if there were, the magic that erupted from the use of this magic should be as bright as a beacon at night, and there was no reason why she, as a spellcaster, should not be unaware.
"Of course not, I wouldn't use this boring way to create chaos. Besides, even I can't break the bond between the priests and the gods they worship. Qili shrugged her shoulders casually, and her tone of voice returned to that playful and frivolous tone. She looked with interest at the scorching sea sirens around her who were killing each other, and did not feel any discomfort from witnessing such a tragedy. This nature is referred to by some as cold-blooded or cruel, but it is a necessary quality for spellcasters who often have to confront things that are beyond common sense.
Peg did not participate in the conversation between Hela and Kiri, and with what she knew about Kiri, although the latter would not lie about the current situation, she would definitely omit information that she thought was unimportant, intentionally or unintentionally, and if she only relied on Kiri's words to restore what happened, the conclusion would be very different from the truth. Moreover, now is not the time to discuss what exactly happened here, the focus is now on what happens to the team that has been ordered to assassinate the Kraken and cause chaos for the enemy, after losing their goal. Of course, losing their target doesn't mean they've killed the High Priest, it's just that in the current situation, the life or death of the person sitting on the Red Coral Throne is no longer the key to the mission.
Therefore, Peg desperately wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and besides, she clearly saw the body that had lost her life not far away, belonging to Jaquia. Whatever the reason, seeing the corpse of a companion is unpleasant. "Our mission is accomplished, and now it's time to get home. ”
"I don't care, but what about our guide, don't tell me he's also a cult of Lady Tide, and now he's just like these guys roaring and screaming everywhere for sacrifices. This is Kiri's style, she rarely shows any verbal favoritism to a person because she knows him, which makes her always seem contemptuous of everyone. But Hela and Peg both know that while Kiri despises the others, she despises herself as well.
Although Kirly's words were unpleasant, what she mentioned caught Lothar's attention, and it was only then that he realized that Fioni, who was supposed to lead the other two witches behind the Siren, had not come with Peg and the others, and that the shapeshifters had not been seen around. This caused the Count to look at Peg with puzzled eyes.
The Rapunzel stretched out her finger helplessly, pointing to the third order of the supreme pyramid among the Burning Waves tribe, and it could be noticed that even though the scene was out of order now, the ninety-nine steps were still solemn, and none of the mad Sirens would take the initiative to break the last hope of their faith. Although, they had vaguely guessed that the supreme path to heaven was likely to have lost its original role and meaning. "He's up there. I'm sure he's not a follower of Lady Waves, but it's not just belief in a god that drives people crazy in this world. You don't need me to say this, you should know about it, right?"
Lothar nodded, he had already sensed something wrong with the time Fioni had talked about the matter between him and the High Priest of Lietao. And on the way back to Isita, the priestess muttered something about Fioni herself. This is enough to realize that no matter what most of the people of the Burning Tao Clan think of the shapeshifters, there is still a very complicated connection between Fioni and the High Priest in private feelings. The story reminded Lothar of a love story he had once read.
"I'll go up and take a look, he's no longer from Lietao anyway. The Count said to the witches, trying to leave with Fioni. Or at least, let this old friend leave with a useless person, they can no longer get close to the land, no more near the witches, no more near the humans, and the sea after being away from this body of water is still wide enough for them to find a place to live.
"Whatever you want. Qili waved her hand indifferently, "I don't care about the matter between the two fish, they only give birth to more fish at most." But I'd like to remind you that you'd better seize the time, this place will soon be destroyed. Well, I'm not talking about this destruction, I'm talking about the destruction that is complete, absolute, and overpowering all voices. ”
The witch cocked up her finger as she spoke, and as the others followed hers, they saw that under the sunset of the sea where the fog had cleared, the bottom of the two great ships was slowly approaching, and they were almost above the pyramid, to be exact. "I know that the Great Witch is prepared for this war, and she wants to exterminate these fishmen. And whatever the way she went extinct, now is the perfect opportunity. So if you want to see the mercenary and the child in her womb again, you've got to hurry. ”
"Of course, as long as these krakens can't see me, I'll be able to solve this matter soon. Lothar replied with a frown.
"That's a bit difficult, because they're crazy, but most of them aren't blind. A smile tugged at the corners of Kiri's mouth, meaning that if the Count insisted on warning Fioni, he would not be able to get her help.
Lothar didn't understand why the other party was embarrassing him at this time. This made him wonder if what Kiri had said when the huntress was dead was the truth, or if it was just an excuse for not saving his companion and even enjoying it. But these things were to be discussed later, and there was not much time for the Count to take his battle axe and swim towards the ninety-nine steps.
