Chapter 34: The Intruder
At this time, the sky was already bright, and after the head of the cabbage slowed down the speed of the boat, the five of them couldn't sleep, they all surrounded the mermaid, waiting for her to speak, but the truth seemed to be as Ma Chen said, this mermaid was the same as the mute, she had never spoken, even if Chongyi shouted and drew her sword and pointed at her, she never opened her mouth, so that the five people really had no choice, so they could only place the mermaid to live in the bucket on the lower level first.
"Didn't you say that the mermaid is the next generation of witches, why can't a generation of witches even speak, so that she can really communicate with her people after becoming a witch, and she doesn't seem to have opened her mind, how did she get selected to be a witch?"
The four of them looked at Ma Chen, who was asleep, and they were convinced, but they didn't pay attention to Ma Chen, and they just looked at it and returned to the topic.
"There are five guardians of the Sea King, except for the Lonely King we met not long ago, the other four kings are ranked by strength, the first king is in the original pirate sea area, his country is composed of pirates, and his strength is also the strongest, because the legend says that he has walked through every sea area, and before he became a guardian, he already had the strength to defeat the sea demon, it is said that the sea demon is also one of the best monsters in the sea area, and other monsters can hardly match it. The second king lives in the ghost domain of the northern polar region, because the number of shipwrecks there is more than the current devil hotbed, and the ghosts there are already as many as hell, colder than the coldest polar ice realm, and although the second king lives by the sea, his fire magic is comparable to that of the Dead Flame Demon, and the terrifying thing is that he will explode when he is angry. The third king lives in the Arms Corner, which is in the northernmost part of the continent, and the second king is the opposite, that place is a field of fire, there is more magma than water, and the people who live there have a cold constitution, and their king has a stronger ability, some people use the words not afraid of him to be angry, but afraid of him to be depressed, it seems that even magma can be frozen. The fourth king, the weakest but the most mysterious, has hardly heard of him doing anything great, nor has he heard of any physique, nor has he ever had a legend about his kingdom, but the abilities of the other four kings are already terrifying. Legend has it that the shrine maiden assisted these five kings. He Lei said and pouted the heavy wing on the other side.
"Everyone knows the legend of the five kings, but this witch auxiliary king is a bit far, who doesn't know how evil the mermaid is, how can it assist humans?" said Heavy Wing through gritted teeth.
"Big brother, we're talking about the last era, when the Sea King was still there, who dared to mess around at sea, almost nothing, now it's mainly controlled by Medusa, and if you live under someone else's roof, you have to do whatever others ask. He Lei looked at Chongyi and asked.
“...... Okay, even if they weren't bad before, even if they are helpless now, but a mute, a king who can only doze off, a fool, what can they do?"
"That idiot, oh no, ahem, ahem...... Ahem, where has our captain gone?" Heavy Wing coughed a few times, but was choked on one breath, and the two of them watched Heavy Wing cough for a long time before recovering.
"Uh, what's wrong, what's wrong, are you going to fire, are the pirates coming, does coughing mean fire?" Ma Chen, who was sleeping next to the bed, woke up suddenly, turned his head to look around and asked.
"Who can tell him that I was just uncomfortable. After Chongyi said this, Ma Chen didn't seem to hear it, and fell asleep on the bed again.
And at the entrance of the lower staircase, Caitou is standing there hesitating whether to go down, although this mermaid can't speak, but the things she brought to herself are too huge, and she didn't see the ending last night, but Caitou has a hunch that if he sees the ending, then there may be an ending that he can't bear, but if he doesn't see the ending, he will have a knot in his heart, so it's better to see it.
After thinking for a while, Caitou walked down the stairs and pushed open the door, it was very dark here, Caitou lit the lamp, looked back at the huge bucket that was placed, the mermaid seemed to be playing in the water, as soon as he heard someone coming in, he immediately got into the water, only the part above the nose was on the water, Caitou knew that she was a little scared, and did not deliberately approach her, but stood next to the lamp, pointed to herself and said to her: "I, not a bad person, I saved you, now I just came to see you." ”
I don't know if the mermaid understood what he said, the entire upper body came out of the water, originally Caitou thought he would see something, but he didn't expect this mermaid to be wearing the clothes he put on her last night, which made Caitou very relieved and happy, which means that Caitou will have more opportunities to contact this mermaid, but then Caitou is a little disappointed that the mermaid still can't understand what Caitou is saying, just tilting his head slightly to look at him.
Silent for a while, Caitou really couldn't help it, she couldn't speak, she was like a fool with her like this, but she didn't dare to approach her casually, in case she got angry, she went straight back into the water, Caitou didn't have anything she could do, the mermaid might be able to talk in the water, but humans were 100% not, although standing here and shouting at the bucket a little louder, maybe she could hear it, but he didn't want those people to know that he came to find this mermaid alone, and now Chongyi was still very disgusted with this mermaid, and the other three also had a half-believing attitude, so he could only be quiet now to figure this matter out。
"Hey, hello. Cai Tou said as if he was greeting an old friend, and after saying that, he wanted to slap himself, but the mermaid couldn't understand what he was saying, a human, a creature that counts as a human but is not a human, how can he communicate like this.
But what Caitou didn't expect was that the mermaid actually smiled at him, although the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but this has made Caitou very happy, at least he didn't come down to find her in vain, this happy Caitou raised his palm to say hello, but he didn't expect to be happy and sad, and the lamp hanging him on the wall overturned, and unfortunate things happened one after another, the lamp hit the sack on the ground, and the fire instantly became hot. The vegetable head who had just finished saying hello felt a wave of heat, and he glanced back and immediately turned his head.
"What!" Caitou whispered a sentence and turned around and blew hard towards the fire, after blowing a few mouthfuls, he found that the fire was not only not small but more vigorous, but also burned to his clothes, Caitou saw that his body was on fire, while stepping on the flames on the ground, while fighting the fire on his body hard, but the flames jumped up suddenly, at this moment, boom, water fell from the top of the head of the head, and the flames on the ground were instantly extinguished, leaving only the sound of ticking.
"Wait, I'll light the light. The head reached out to the mermaid and made a motionless motion, and although he couldn't see it in the dark, he felt that the mermaid was ready to spray water again.
Lighting the lamp, Caitou looked back at the mermaid, the mermaid saw that Caitou was wet, and actually covered his mouth and smiled, although the light here was very poor, but Caitou was still moved by the beauty of the mermaid, but after a while, he suddenly heard footsteps, someone came down, Caitou didn't want them to know about it, once they knew, they would definitely stare at the mermaid to prevent her from doing something they thought was evil.
The head of the cabbage shushed at the mermaid, took the lamp hanging from the wall, and ducked behind the barrel before blowing out the flames as the door opened. Footsteps sounded slowly, and the man walked in at a very slow pace, and after a few moments of silence, he heard an unfamiliar voice.
"Prophet Mowan, it's really easy for me to find, I've searched the whole devil's hotbed, but you are comfortable here with humans, I envy you, when our mermaid forbidden area was chaotic to find you, you actually enjoyed it here, hahahaha. The strange hoarse voice laughed, but after laughing for a while, he coughed violently, and he coughed for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to find you, we searched the whole sea area, you know, the previous generation of shrine maidens will not come out to help in person until the crisis, so we have to rely on ourselves to find it, we have broken into a lot of places, but the whole army was wiped out and did not find you, I hate you very much, but I now have a little to thank you for allowing me to meet a noble man, so that I can walk on land like a human, without being hindered by the sun and air, you may be happy to see my appearance, but hahahahaha, I must tell you that I am here to kill you nowThe man finished his sentence and the sound of his sword being drawn.
The head of the cabbage couldn't bear it anymore at this time, although he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he couldn't let the mermaid named Mo Wan die like this, he stood up and whistled, and threw the oil lamp out of his hand, the man reacted quickly and immediately sent the oil lamp flying.
"Which bastard did it, come out and let me see you, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. The man roared angrily, and a flame appeared in his palm.
"I see you!" the man suddenly roared, and the flames were thrown towards the head of the cabbage, who flipped forward and threw away the fireball, picked up a small wooden barrel on the ground, stepped over to the man in two steps, and smashed the barrel in his hand into the man's head, but the man seemed to know that the head of the vegetable was coming, and raised his arm to block it, but the barrel was still smashed to the ground.
Caitou couldn't see it, thinking that he had succeeded, but he suddenly took a hit on his face, which made him fly to the door and smashed on the stairs, the man saw Caitou smashed there half-dead, he raised his hand, and a fireball appeared in his palm, and the man looked at the fireball, and under the firelight, Caitou saw that the person's face was covered with scales.
"Die!" The man threw out the fireball, and the head of the dish was so frightened that he reached out to cover his face, he didn't dare to imagine the feeling after a while, with a sound of explosion, the head of the dish felt that both sides were instantly hot, but the heat also disappeared instantly, and the imaginary feeling did not appear. Caitou slowly opened his eyes, only to see a tall figure crouching in front of him with a shield.
