Kamiya motioned for the dog gods to restrain their breath slightly.

After the Shikikami did so, Isohime's scattered gaze finally had a vivid light focused on him.

"You're getting in my way!"

She grinned wide open at the bloody basin, revealing jagged, irregular, sharp fangs, and two antler-like horns on her head glowing with wicked water.

"Hey, you seem to be a lot tougher than a small can." Kamiya ignored Isohime's threat, "Yes, I got in your way, but at the same time saved you. Take the hammer of the crab queen, and in the red tide that comes later, you probably won't survive. From this point of view, your life should be mine. Now that I have captured you, I should be your master, and it is best to speak to me properly. ”

The mermaids are not as talkative as the crab people, and Kamiyagawa simply changed the friendly way of communication between the ichimu and the natives of the sea country, and his attitude has become a lot stronger.

He'd figured it out just now.

There are still many things that have not been clarified in the sea country, and some of those unsolved matters may be related to the "tide of going back in time".

If he wants to attack this special map of the Sea Kingdom, he has to figure out the truth behind it.

Talk, deterrence are all ways to get what you want, as long as it is effective, you can get what you want and the information you want.

"Huh."

The eyes of the dog god on the side surged with a fierce light, and the fangs were exposed, and he looked like he would be devoured alive at any time.

The dog is too good at using his appearance to build momentum for Kamiya, and it's not the first time it's done this kind of thing.

Perhaps also affected by Kamiya's words, or perhaps once again intimidated by the dog god, Isohime's thin shoulders trembled slightly.

The merfolk on the shore who had not slept to death could hear the conversation clearly, the princess was being humiliated by the frivolous man, and they were all extremely angry, but under the absolute difference in strength, they could not do anything.

Isohime raised her terrifying head, as if she couldn't accept Kamiyagawa's words: "Kill me." ”

"Huh."

"Kill me!"

"Don't be in such a hurry, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be a prisoner. I am an oracle from High Heavengahara, who has come to save the Sea Kingdom. You merfolk are facing a great crisis, aren't you? The red tide is coming, and the lord of the sea country is about to be born. As for you, Isohime, it seems that you really want to become the lord of the Sea Country, even if it costs your life. Now that I'm here, I can get you whatever you want. ”

With experience in the week, Kamiya can easily understand the needs of the mermaids.

Judging from the experience of the last time, Isohime would be forced to ascend to the Soka Taisha even if she died.

The big cake drawn by Kamiyagawa must be something she can't refuse.

Moreover, it shouldn't be a problem to say that you're from High Heaven Hara. The Red Tide should have started because of the Yellow Springs, and the mermaids obviously paid a terrible price because of the Red Tide, so they should not belong to the Yellow Springs.

Sure enough, hearing Kamiyagawa's words, Isohime was stunned for a while.

"You're from Takamagahara?"

"That's right."

"To save our merfolk?"

"To be precise, save the Sea Nation, including you merfolk."

Isohime seemed to have finally figured it out, lowered her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was your prisoner, but I let my people go." ”

"You seem to have made a mistake, you are my captive is the current fact, whether you agree with it or not, you can't trade this with me."

"You ......"

"Still, I appreciate your courage. So I won't do anything to your people, don't worry. ”

Kamiyagawa didn't push Isohime too hard either.

Although it is a fact that she was physically captured, it is also a good thing that she can initially identify with her "captive" status psychologically.

Although she knew that the clown mermaid would definitely not be convinced by this, she would subconsciously substitute for this somewhat humiliating identity.

The identity and status of who is up and down is established, so it is enough, and then there is a way to hold her.

This may be similar to the first step in domestication.

Isohime is the "clan image" of the mermaid clan and the leader, and there is no difference between pinching her and pinching the entire mermaid clan.

"Okay, in that case, take me to your Shicun Island."

The name of the mermaid stronghold of Ichikushima was heard by Kamiyagawa before on the crab clan.

When Isohime heard this, she began to hesitate again.

Bringing such a huge threat back to the tribe is like self-destruction.

"You have to understand that you don't have the right to refuse in the face of my request. If you take me to Ichicun Island, nothing bad will happen, but if I go by myself, it should be an unacceptable disaster for you mermaids. In addition, the Red Tide is coming, and as the savior of the Sea Nation, I have a lot to do, and I want to know all the information you merfolk have about the Red Tide. ”

Kamiyagawa is right.

Isohime has also seen that this foreign powerhouse seems to know everything about the situation in the sea country.

Is he really here to save the Sea Country?

Think about what he did just now, saving the stupid crab on the crab clan's side, and saving himself......

Not to mention the real solution to the crisis of the red tide, if this person is really willing to help the mermaid, then fifteen days later, it may not be so difficult to ascend to the position of the lord of the country, right?

……

Isohime agrees to take Kamiyagawa to Ichikushima.

The Rock Girl and the Rock Fish Owner of the Mermaid Clan also reawakened under the control of the little tapir.

They looked at Kamiyagawa with a resentful look, but they still had no choice but to dive into the sea to make a way.

Kamiyagawa called out the whale again and summoned a skeletal whale as a tool to travel at sea.

According to previous experience, the red tide should fall on the night of the moon, and it is safe to move around the sea for the time being.

In addition, Kamiya did not release Isohime into the sea, but ordered her to stay by his side.

The mermaid leader, who had already given up some of the struggles, did not resist, but just did so.

"Let's talk about the Red Tide, you merfolk are more deeply affected by the Red Tide, you should know something that even I don't know. I think this part of the information should have nothing to hide from you, and even if it is revealed, it will not be harmful to you and your people. ”

On the way, Kamiyagawa has been talking to Isohime.

Now it's another topic.

The latter was silent for a while, as a "captive", she didn't know how to face the arrogant man in front of her.

The mermaid princess had no experience in this area, and anyway, she felt that even if she stayed by his side, there would be a strange sense of humiliation.

But what this annoying man said was right, even if all the information about the red tide was said, it would not have any real impact on the mermaid clan. Conversely, if the man really came to solve the red tide, the more he knew, the more likely it was that the crisis would be dealt with.

Thinking about it this way, Isohime can accept Kamiyagawa's unpleasant attitude a little.

She opened her mouth a little awkwardly, and her voice was still hoarse, as if a mouthful of thick phlegm was stuck in her throat:

"The Red Tide originated two hundred years ago, when my mother disappeared. At that time, I had just been born, and all the relevant things were heard from my people. After the mother's disappearance, the sea turned dark red and became strangely restless, as if something was brewing, but no one knew what kind of disaster would happen at first. ”

It sounds like Isohime is the daughter of the previous lord of the sea country.

That's the princess of the sea.

The forces on both sides of the Sea Kingdom are all descendants of the three goddesses of the sect, and Kamiyagawa is no longer surprised by this kind of thing, and he will no longer subconsciously sigh such as "It turns out that you still have a mother".

"Do you have any clues as to why your mother is missing?"

The previous queen of the sea country has mysteriously disappeared, and Kamiyagawa thinks this matter is quite suspicious.

It may be a breakthrough in the next investigation.

"We don't know why, but it seems that my mother went to Tagido Island before she disappeared."

Tagido Island, at first glance, is named after the smallest goddess of the clan, Tagido Himemei.

It's the same as Otsu Island of the crab clan and the Ichicun Island of the mermaid clan.

Kamiya asked, "Does Tagido Island still exist?" ”

"It's been sunk for a long time, but there are still ruins in the sea. Two hundred years ago, when the Crab Clan and the Merfolk were still working together, the two sides jointly sent elites to the ruins of Dogido Island, which were buried in the deep sea. Most of them didn't return, and the few survivors were too delirious to explain what was going on there, and those who came back soon later died. ”

The elders of the clan said that the operation had caused both the Crab Clan and the Merfolk to lose their most elite combat power, and neither side would be able to explore it again. From that time on, for some reason, the crab people completely abandoned the merfolk and completely hid in Otsushima. ”

"Our people didn't think about hiding and giving up at that time, and they tried to use the power of the clan to find their mother, and tried to understand the unknown situation of the changes in Tagido Island and the sea."

"As a result, the red tide came out of nowhere and destroyed our homes. The people who dwell in the water are affected by the waves, bear a curse, and degenerate into krakens......"

Isohime gave some information she knew.

When she was talking, she didn't have too many emotions attached to it, just flat and straightforward, maybe she didn't want to show any real emotions in front of Kamiyagawa.

The merfolk's past experience may be much more tragic than what she recounted.

"So, haven't the merfolk tried to explore Tagido Island again for two hundred years?" Kamiya thought for a while and asked.

"Yes, but nothing came of it, and the people couldn't even get close to it. In fact, when we were strong, we didn't achieve any results in exploring together with the crab clan, let alone now...... I think you can see that we're weak......"

"Well, if Tagido Island really has something to do with Red Tide and your mother's affairs, then I'll go check it out." Kamiya's tone was calm, as if he took it for granted, and the sound of a calm wave swept through the sound of his words.

At the time of the week, Kamiya put "supporting the new lord" on the throne before "solving the red tide crisis".

There's nothing wrong with the order in which things are handled.

Get the simple, seemingly time-critical tasks done first, and then focus on the big ones.

But now in the second week, his mentality has changed.

Because of the strange "backtracking tide", his intuition told him that dealing with the matter of the red tide might be more urgent than supporting the new lord to ascend to the throne.

This time I chose to get close to the mermaid force, and I originally came for the red tide.

Isohime was stunned at first when she heard Kamiya's tone that carried the safety of the sea country lightly on her body, and her cloudy eyes were filled with a little inexplicable wave:

"You...... Will it really help us deal with the red tide? ”

"Or else? What am I telling you so much about? Makes you happy? ”

“……”

Isohime stopped talking, but in order not to show obvious wavering, she chose to turn her head to the magnificent sea.

On the sea, the moon hangs lonely, mysterious and quiet.

The whale slowly moved forward on the dark red sea, leaving behind a ripple of shimmering silver light and ethereal blue dots, and the air was faintly salty and moist.

In the distance, the boundary between the sea and the sky seems to disappear, different colors, but they are all one.

After a moment's pause, Isohime heard the annoying man who claimed to be her master speak, "The sea in the sea country is beautiful, if it weren't for the red." ”

"Hmmm......"

"By the way, Isohime, have you ever considered leaving the Sea Country? It seems that you merfolk are in a much worse situation than the crab people, and they can still support it a little longer, but you ...... Leaving seems like a better option. ”

"We can't go."

"Why?"

"As I said, my people are under a curse. We are trapped by the red tide, bound to our degenerate and filthy hometown. Leaving the confines of Ichicun Island, as long as a day or so passes, my people will become ...... Foam. ”

This time, Isohime didn't hold back her emotions, and her tone and eyes became sad.

Kamiyagawa understood.

He was still puzzled before, because the crab owner still has the ability of the crab lady, how much can he resist the invasion of the red tide, and the mermaid clan wants to live, so he can choose to solve the conflict between the two sides and move to Otsu Island to live with the crab clan.

No matter how big the contradiction is, it is not as big as their own life, right?

Now, according to Isohime, they can't move.

Between conversations, time flies quickly.

The journey to the sea took about two hours, and Kamiya River saw the outline of an island in the distance on the back of the wrecked whale.

It was an isolated island in the depths of the ocean, shrouded in fog and darkness.

Shrouded in a dense miasma, the visibility around the island is very low. The sea breeze was much more intense in the area, and the sound of the mist was carried from afar, resembling a roar of resentment and a creepy roar.

Ichikojima arrived.
