Ringer's brow was still tightly knit as he emerged from Sain's room, and it wasn't until Andiel's distinctively cold voice came from behind him that he was pulled back to reality.

"What a coincidence, Your Excellency the Tongue Demon, I met you here again."

It's broken, and I forgot to guard against this one by thinking about what happened just now.

Ringer turned his head and saw a smiling Andile.

"Your Excellency the Tongue Demon seems to be in trouble?" Andil stared at Ringer's face.

In fact, he had been there for a while, and even turned several corners behind Ringer, and every time before, he would be spotted by Ringer as soon as he appeared, so he felt strange.

"If you really have any trouble, you might as well say it, maybe I can help you in the following." Andil was concerned, as if he were a sincere friend.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I've been studying alchemy lately, and I've been thinking about runes and recipes just now, and now I'm going to the treasure house to pick up materials." Ringer immediately rejected the other party's kindness, because the help of the person in front of him must not be free.

"Treasure trove?" A hint of strangeness flashed in Andiel's eyes, "Could it be that Lord Sain has given you permission to enter the treasure house?" ”

"Yes."

"It seems that Lord Sain really trusts you," Andiel's expression returned to normal, at least on the surface, "I'll go with you, I remember the distribution of the items in the treasure house clearly, tell me what you want, and I'll help you find it." ”

"Lord Steward is busy, why am you embarrassed to waste your time, I know the location of the treasure house, I can go by myself."

"Hehe, even if I'm standing here talking to you, my work is going on all the time, so it's okay, I won't make a mistake, just let me take you to the treasure trove."

Speaking of which, it would be rude to refrain any longer, and although Ringer was wary of Andiel, he didn't want to offend him, so he had to agree.

Andil smiled and patted Ringer on the shoulder, leading him on his way to the treasury, chatting with him on the way.

Fortunately, Ringer was already on guard, most of the time he only listened to him, rarely spoke, and could answer with a nod or shake his head, never spoke, so he was not fooled.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the door of the treasure house.

This is a black two-leaf door, with demons painted on the left and right side doors, left and right women, lifelike, and undressed, under the reflection of the green torches on the door, two handsome faces full of evil spirit.

On the left side of the door, there was a gold-encrusted treasure chest, which was said to be lying there because when Ringer saw it, he knew it was a living thing.

That's what a treasure mimic is called, right?

Judging by its faint aura and ornate decorations, this should be an elite Extreme Mimic.

As soon as Ringer approached, the treasure chest in front of the door opened automatically, revealing a mouth full of dense fangs, and a large blue-gray tongue more than a meter long and a pair of long, blue-gray arms protruded from it.

The thirteen fingers of those hands were covered with rings encrusted with various colored gemstones, and nine gold bracelets were also bound around the two arms, which were almost embedded in the flesh and merged with the arms.

The Mimic stood up, more precisely, pulled itself out of the floor.

The part that looks like a treasure chest is just its head, and its real body can merge with the ground.

It has a pair of long, muscular legs and a slender body, and when fully standing, it is more than three meters tall.

But as soon as it stood up, it bent down, rubbed its hands, drooled from the tip of its tongue, and opened and closed a terrifying mouth, making a flattering sound.

"Little Na Greedy Demon, guarding the entrance of the treasure house here, what are the instructions of the two adults?"

Andil of course recognized it, the chief steward of the Demon King City, the head of the Intelligence Department, the core of the normal operation of the Demon King City, and there was no one in the Demon King City who did not recognize him.

Although the other is a face, he also exudes the coercion of a superior demon, and he walks side by side with Lord Andiel, and his identity is definitely not simple.

Ringer was about to take out the Jufu Demon Badge that Syin gave him, when he heard Andil say lightly, "Open the door." "It seems that he doesn't bother to say a word more.

The self-proclaimed Greedy Mimic didn't dare to say a word, and immediately opened the door of the treasure house, and a bright golden light immediately shot out from the door, illuminating the dark corridor and enveloping Ringer and Andiel.

"Two adults, please."

When the door closed, the hallway darkened again, leaving only the cold glow of green torches.

Na Greed's slender body burrowed into the floor again, leaving only a treasure chest head on the ground, the mouth of the treasure chest opened and closed, and muttered: "When can I be transferred from here, I thought it would be a good thing to be promoted, but now I can only stay in this boring place, ah, I really want to go back to the underground labyrinth, wait for the beautiful female adventurer to open me, and then ...... Uh-uh! ”

The large blue-gray tongue secreted a shiny mucus that trickled to the ground, especially clear in the silent corridor.

……

The eastern coastline of the Galama Empire has been told about beautiful mermaids since ancient times, and every once in a while, fishermen claim to have caught real mermaids from the sea.

Legend has it that the first lizardman ancestor to catch a mermaid from the sea fell in love with the mermaid he caught and married her.

However, the love between the lizard and the fish is fruitless, and the lizard ancestor who married the mermaid is said to have died less than a year after marriage, and it is said that the soul was sucked dry by the mermaid.

Therefore, latecomers often do not believe in love, but sacrifice them as sacrifices to the gods, or sell them as ornamental fish to inland nobles at sky-high prices, and some even regard them as top ingredients.

However, most aristocrats and top chefs often find that the so-called mermaids are either the tricks of illusionists or "artificial mermaids", and they are not real mermaids at all.

By the time they found out the truth and wanted to settle accounts with the seller, the other party had already disappeared without a trace.

So when they hear about the mermaids caught somewhere, the tavern drinkers only regard it as boring old news and don't really believe it.

The nobles became more and more cautious after being fooled more often, but the situation of being deceived still happened from time to time.

This has led to the questioning of the authenticity of the existence of mermaids, after all, most people have never seen real mermaids.

Do mermaids really exist?

While Ringer was searching for alchemy materials in the Demon King's Treasury, several sailors were facing such a problem.

It was a two-masted fishing boat floating on the sea, and several sailors were on the deck, looking at the strange creatures in the nets, and the same question arose in their hearts -

Is this a mermaid?

I saw a black creature lying in the fishing net, half human, half fish, with a human upper body and a fish on the lower body.

In terms of body structure alone, it is the same as the rumored mermaid, the only difference from the rumors is that she is black.

Black skin, black scales, the whole body is black, and the scales and skin stained with seawater reflect the sunlight, black and attractive.
