The song seems to come from the depths of the sea, the beat coincides with the sound of the ebb and flow of the tide, it is moving, like the murmuring of flowing water, it is sing, it has a unique charm, and it is poignant, like the sound of dew dropping bamboo leaves, intriguing.

The song was soft and tactful, like a lullaby from the mouth of a mother, and the seven giant octopuses suddenly relaxed their bodies after listening to it, and fell limply on the shore, bathed in the starlight carefree.
The song was beautiful and pleasant, as if telling a story, and when the twelve fishmen heard the song, they couldn't help but close their eyes full of fierce light, and put away their cold and shining tridents, and they followed the song, slowly shaking their heads, and their faces were indescribably appropriate.
The voice of the person who sang it, Kaede was familiar, it was Daphne, but what he was not familiar with was the lyrics, which were not in the language of the Magic Empire, and sounded more like Elfish language.
Did Daphne speak Elfish? How could she speak Elfish?
Kaedehara thought he was going to die, but when the beautiful song sounded, the fish people stopped moving, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the giant octopus and the fish people were already immersed in the song.
Could it be that the legend is true?
Watching the fish people indulge in the song, Kaede recalls the story told by a bard who traveled to Si'an City when he was a child.
Legend has it that 5,000 years ago, a princess was born in the sea tribe in the depths of the sea, known as the Siren Princess. The Siren Princess is a fish on the lower body and a human on the upper body, and she is very beautiful and good at singing.
Her singing voice is extremely beautiful, and every song she sings, without exaggeration, is a natural sound. In the sea, no matter what the animal, there is no one who does not like the Siren Princess, and there is no one who does not revel in her song.
At that time, the sea tribe was not hostile to the human race, and if you were lucky, you could also see the Siren princess singing at sea from afar, and her song would attract all kinds of animals such as dolphins, crabs, sharks, and shrimp.
About 3,000 years later, that is, 2,000 years ago, among the human race, a man named Odin came to the sea, Odin was not only handsome and tall, but also very good at music, brought a lot of music to share with the Siren Princess, chanted, and actively discussed music with the Siren Princess. Soon after, Odin and Princess Siren both fall in love.
Odin and the princess of the sea clan are talented and beautiful, and the animals in the sea are sincerely happy and blessed to see them together.
After some time, escorted by the fishmen, the princess left the sea and followed Odin to the land for the wedding.
However, in the fish-man procession that escorted the princess of the Sea Clan to the wedding, only one fish-man finally returned to the sea alive. The fish-man was seriously injured and dying, and if the dolphin hadn't carried him to treatment in time, it is estimated that he would have died long ago.
After the seriously injured fish-man woke up from his slumber, he said something that made all the Sea Clan angry, it turned out that Odin was a complete liar, he took the Sea Princess to the land not to marry the Sea Clan Princess, but to sacrifice the sword with the life of the Sea Clan Princess, Odin had been going to the sea to find the Sea Princess from the beginning!
After learning the truth, the fish people who escorted the sea princess angrily picked up the trident in their hands and cut the humans into pieces, vowing to rescue the sea princess, but it was too late, the sea princess had already fallen into the blazing sword furnace.
At the end of the story, Odin successfully forged a sword that infused the life of the Siren Princess, and only one of the fishmen who escorted the Sea Princess to the wedding was saved, and all the other fishmen were killed by humans.
Since then, the Sea Clan and the Terran have been incompatible! That's why when the Fish-Men saw humans, their eyes were filled with extreme hatred in addition to anger!
"Why is Odin so bad! forge a sword with the life of a sea princess!"
After hearing this story, the young Kaede was furious, but the bard said that Odin was forced to do all this. It is said that two thousand years ago, a great demon came to the magic continent called the Demon Hunter.
Legend has it that this demon hunter came from the underworld, his real body was dead, and his soul was supposed to enter the underworld, but he was not willing to die like that, and in front of the hell gate, he wounded the hellhound guarding the hell gate, and escaped from the underworld to the magic continent.
The Demon Hunter is very cunning, and when he first escaped from the underworld, he was vulnerable, stealthily killing people and collecting people's souls, and he strengthened himself by devouring the souls of others. By the time the people on the Magic Continent discovered this demon hunter, it was too late.
The Demon Hunter does not belong to this world, he is not afraid of magic, any magician, even if he is as powerful as the Holy Magister, has no way to take him, and meeting him will only become a delicacy in his mouth.
Since the spiritual power of the mage is stronger than that of ordinary people, that is to say, the soul is stronger than the average person, they are often the first choice of prey for demon hunters, and demon hunters need to strengthen themselves by devouring powerful souls, and the more powerful the mage, the more his favorite.
At that time, no one in the entire Magic Continent could stop the demon hunters, and wherever the demon hunters went, they would mourn everywhere.
Just when the entire Magic Continent was about to be destroyed by the Demon Hunters, the Light Saint Magister at that time used the forbidden spell [Prophecy], and he used all his life to predict a certain moment in the future again and again.
In many prophecies, the future that the Light Holy Magister saw was plunged into darkness, and the demon hunters killed everyone on the magic continent and destroyed the entire magic continent.
But as the life of the Light Holy Magister was about to end, in his last prophecy, he saw a completely different picture from his previous predictions, he saw a man with a sword and pierce the head of the Demon Hunter on top of the ruins!
That man was Odin, and the sword in his hand was not an ordinary sword, but it could actually emit a singing voice inside it! In a hurry, the Light Saint Magister who performed the [Prophecy Technique] also saw the soul sealed in the sword, and that soul was the princess of the Sea Clan!
So, Odin, who was just an ordinary warrior at the time, accepted his mission with the hope of all mankind! Due to the urgency of time, he studied music hard during the day and practiced swordsmanship diligently at night.
When the time came, he went to the sea with some song sheets to find the princess of the Sea Clan. After the Sea Clan princess spent some time with him and fell in love with him, he proposed to the Sea Clan princess, and then took the Sea Clan princess to land, saying that he wanted to marry her. As for the story after that, everyone must know it.
Odin successfully forged a sword with the life of the Sea Clan princess, and that sword is called the Holy Sword! Odin led a large army to fight the Demon Hunter, and finally pierced the Demon Hunter's head with a sword on the ruins! Since the Demon Hunter is not a creature of this world, Odin cannot kill him completely, but can only suppress him with the Holy Sword!
After subduing the Demon Hunters underground, Odin became a hero of the Terrans, revered as the God Emperor of Odin, the first king of the Magic Empire.
In order to prevent the Demon Hunter from escaping, the Odin God Emperor built the royal palace on top of the Demon Hunter's head, and watched the Demon Hunter day and night until his death.
This story may explain why warriors are kings and warriors rule the Magic Empire since magic is respected in the Magic Continent. Magic is indeed powerful, but it is not omnipotent, and the demon hunters who escaped from the underworld to the magical continent are a typical example!
During the reign of Emperor Odin, the Magic Church was established, and the supreme leader of the Magic Church was the dean, which was served by the Holy Magisters, and the Holy Magisters had a vote to make decisions on major matters. Emperor Odin specifically stipulates that he, including each future king, is also one of the deans of the Magic Church, and has one vote to speak, and has one veto power!
At that time, Emperor Odin was the savior of the entire human race, and his prestige was extremely high, and no one would oppose his words, so this rule was successfully settled, and it has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, and it has been passed down to this day.
