If there is any possibility that he is infected with the energy of this self-proclaimed being, it is only for one reason, and that is the camouflage magic that the gray-robed mage casts on him. But even if he guessed this, Lothar didn't intend to tell it, although it seemed that this fate was here to help him at the moment, but whether it was the image of the other party or his own admission that it was the source of the spread of the sea curse of the sea god's rope, the count could not afford to trust it. In such a situation, he would never reveal his friends and the object of his allegiance to the other party. But on the other hand, if the destiny is really what He said he was, why would He ask himself such a question?

"Why are you asking me this question, do you think I'll know the answer? Since you can get my vision, you might as well dig through my memories yourself, and save us the time we have to waste here. This is a temptation, Lothar pretends to be looking at the memory because it doesn't matter, desperate to know how much control the other party really has over her. If he could read his memories and even his thoughts at will, the things that the Count should have considered would change. The answer to the destination was somewhat unexpected.

"Reading memories and thoughts is disrespectful to living beings. I am the destiny of the weary creatures, and I will not interfere with their will until they do not wish to rest. So you don't have to answer my questions, that's not your responsibility. After saying this, the Deep Water Being continued, "Let's go back to the question at the beginning, there are only two options in front of you right now. One, submit to death, then I will fulfill my duty to receive you into the eternal resting place. As for your flesh, it will return to nature for fish and shrimp to devour, and for the sea to rot. Two, accept my help and be my eyes above the deep waters. I can't restore your body directly, but I can keep you and your companions safe as soon as possible, and then you have a good chance of saving your life. But I must remind you that if you choose the second path, then you will have to pay some price. ”

"At what cost?" asked Lothar. He had heard a little bit of information from Cheese about dealing with these beings, and knew that if he chose to accept help here, he might pay more afterwards. But to be sure, how many people can choose to die knowing that they have a way to be saved? Even if there is a price to be saved, we always believe that as long as people are alive, there is a way to escape or pay off these debts. This is undoubtedly a kind of arrogance, but without this arrogance, I am afraid that living things will not be able to reproduce.

"The price is simple, you can't leave the sea for three years. I know you're human, a race that has your feet on the soil, so I'm not going to let you spend all three years at sea. But you can't go too far from the sea, and your range of action on land can only go where the sea breeze can still blow, and where the seagulls can still fly. If you continue to turn away from the sea, all the water in your body will stay where it is. The voice of Homecoming is still warm and calm, like an old man telling a story by his pillow.

Lothar stared at the darkness beneath him, a price he didn't think was unacceptable. Although the definition of the sea breeze and the seagull is vague, it nevertheless gives the Count the freedom to live on land. According to the fate theory, even if he takes a boat back to the lion to find a coastal village to live in for three years. But is it really that simple?" "Three years from now? I've heard that if the devil saves a life in his dealings, he has to give at least half of his time to serve the devil. I don't think you're the devil, but I don't think you're that kind. ”

"Goodness is relative, and if there is no evil in this world, there will be no goodness. So you don't have to be so wary of me, because what I'm asking for doesn't conflict with you, I just want to see. You know, it's been a long time, and since I realized my existence, all I've witnessed and accepted has been exhausting returnees. This makes me wonder why the creatures of this world are still so desperate if life is really so exhausting. But under the deep waters, I can't see the sun, and your world is too far away from me. I admit that I just had reservations about what you said. Three years is not a definite deadline, as long as you still have my mark on you, then when you are close to the sea, I will be there for you, and I know that you do not belong to the ocean, and you do not have the smell of seawater. So I only need three years for you to live, and when you die, your consciousness will flow down to my arms, and then I will ask you to tell me more things. Do you feel better in that way?"

"Sell my soul to you?" Lothar hesitated for a moment when she heard that she would sink into the realm of destiny once she accepted the offer. However, he soon realized that even if he refused the other party's request and chose to die here and now, his soul would still fall to the bottom of the dark ocean without seeing the light.

"No, I don't need you to sell your soul, and I'm not bidding with the time to live. After all, human beings, what you call years, months, and days are nothing more than units of measurement that you have set based on external references. If there is no sun, no day or night, and your body does not need a heartbeat and a pulse, then time will lose its meaning in your consciousness. That's what it looks like to me, and I'm not going to use meaningless things as a price tag. I don't like trading, and measuring the value of things is not my forte. ”

"And what is your strength?" the Count asked. It took a moment for the voice of the destination to drift up, "Accept." ”

Lothar munched on the meaning of these two words in silence, then turned her head to look at the webworm that was trying to get closer to her body, and a smile appeared on her face, "Okay." I promise you, whoever you are, I agree with your proposal. But I beg you, if you want to save my life, please save her too. ”

"Of course, I will. I am looking forward to witnessing the birth of a new life. So I'm going to let them live. The destination replied.

Wait!New life?they???? But before Lothar could once again verify the existence in the deep water, the wheel of time began to turn again. And his consciousness was recaptured by his body, and before he fell into a coma again, he only felt a surge of power from under him. And for the webworm, who didn't know what happened in the moment, she only saw a current rising from the bottom of the sea, pushing Lothar towards the sea!

"Poof!" a muffled crash sounded from behind the mercenary, who turned her head to see the Fool's justice stuck in the mermaid's neck, nearly chopping off the mermaid's head. With the roar of the lion, the mermaid who was still swimming freely in the water just now suddenly lost its momentum and fell lifeless like a stone. At the same time, the currents that held up Lothar also began to push the back of the net worm, and at the moment when the mermaid and the mercenary staggered one by one, the net worm grabbed the handle of the battle axe, pulled out the fool's justice and led it to the surface of the sea.
