"Money and goods. Kamiya, these are the four jars of miasma pills you want, as well as two doses of life-extending purple gold cream. ”

On Takamagahara, Kamiyagawa met with the medicine seller.

From him, I bought pills to ward off the poisonous miasma.

By the way, Kamiya also told the medicine seller about the matter of the sea country, hoping to hear what unique insights he has.

"The land of the sea where the gods dwell will go back to the tides of time...... It's really unheard of. Kamiya, the location you're setting foot in right now sounds dangerous. I'm more and more convinced that you can ascend to the position of co-leader of ghosts and gods. ”

"Would you like to visit together? For the sake of our friendship, I'll take you there without charging for admission. ”

"No, I don't have the ability to live and die like you do."

"You're a decent deity, aren't you?"

"To correct, I am a craftsman god, and I have always valued harmony."

"Yes, yes, then do you have any thoughts and opinions about the affairs of the Sea Country? If so, you will be sincerely thanked by me. ”

"Not the rest." The medicine seller shook his head, what kind of sea country, what kind of tide of time and the like, he really didn't have any idea, "However, can you expand on the power of the three goddesses of the sect statue you just talked about?" ”

"Sect image...... It feels quite mysterious at the moment. It seems that there will be a corresponding existence among the descendants of the three goddesses of the sea, which should be continued through reproduction. On the crab side, there is Crab Hime, and on the mermaid side, there is Isohime, hidden in their blood. Then, it seems that there is no descendant of Taki Tohime, one of the three goddesses, and his ancestral statue does not know if it still exists. ”

"No descendants, are you sure?"

"Uh...... Not sure, do you think of anything? ”

"There's a little bit of speculation. If the clan image is a latent power in the bloodline, and the heir of Taki Tohime's life has perished, then the last heir of this goddess dies without leaving any offspring, and the strange power in her body is likely to be separated. ”

"Precipitate?"

"Yes, that kind of power should not disappear in vain, it may be replaced by another form of existence. Of course, the premise of all this is that Taki Tohimhime really didn't leave any descendants. ”

"Do you mean that the power of the bloodline, which was originally invisible and intangible, will become something similar to substance after being separated from it?"

"Well, similar to footage. I've been in contact with youkai with bloodline inheritance before, but it's not as big as the name of the Sea Kingdom's gods. ”

"That's right...... Wait a minute, you've been in contact with monsters who can have children for a long time? ”

"Yes."

Kamiya was shocked: "But you never told me about it." ”

"Because you never asked me."

Kamiya: ......

All right.

It seems that every time I talk to the medicine seller, I talk about some serious things, and I don't talk about any gossip.

Putting this stubble aside for the time being, Kamiya brought the topic back to the topic:

"Let's talk about the statue of the sect. Assuming that the conjectures just now are true, then the precipitated sect image that exists in real objects ...... Does the person who got that thing or the strange talk have the right to compete for the lord of the sea country? ”

"Not necessarily, it's definitely not as orthodox as the crab and isohime you said. But this is just the conjecture of the two of us, and we don't know what the rules are in the land of the sea. ”

After chatting with the medicine seller for a while about the sea country, Kamiyagawa left after staying for a long time.

The situation in Haiguo is complicated, so it is better to listen to everyone's ideas and brainstorm more than to ponder alone.

……

The country of the sea, the island of the city.

Boom - Boom –

A silvery-white moon-like train came from the void.

The train stopped at the platform for a moment, then started again, and the rapid movement broke through the miasma in front of it.

Kamiyagawa stood on the platform with a text on his shoulder, his black hair and the array of haori on his body were blown up by the wind pressure of the Kiratsu train, and illuminated by the cold light of the train car, the haoori swept into elegant and gorgeous lines and outlines, forming a flowing shadow under the interweaving of light and darkness.

Before he came, he had already taken a miasma pill.

It works great.

Yesterday he landed on the island of Ichi, and he was breathing in the miasma, and he felt a slight burning sensation in his lungs.

Now that this feeling is gone, I can move freely without any burden in the temporary base of the second week.

"Although the miasma on this island is not fatal in the short term, there is certainly damage to the body. It's a red tide and a poisonous miasma, so it's no wonder that Isohime will be distorted and degenerate, living in such a harsh environment, even a mermaid can't be beautiful. ”

The time when Kamiya returned to Ichikushima was the evening on the Haiguo side.

However, because the island is covered by a thick noxious fog, there is no difference between day and night, and there is no light at all.

Desolate, dim, and dead.

"Little old man."

Kamiyagawa called the scout out out and motioned for him to lead the way to the mermaid princess.

In the more than ten hours that Kamiya was away, the mermaid's side was quite peaceful, so that the little old man who was watching didn't hit their little report.

"Aba, Aba."

Led by the scouts, Kamiya walks across the dark red beach.

In the murky sea ahead, two wet bald heads loomed.

It's the owner of two mermaids.

"It's the hateful god who claims to be from Takamagahara."

"Go, don't mess with him, the princess has commanded, we can't afford to provoke him, tell us to be respectful to him, lest he be angry."

“……”

The two mermaid owners obviously sensed the arrival of Kamiya, exchanged two words, and turned around and dived into the sea.

Kamiya didn't pay much attention to them and continued to walk forward.

After taking two more steps, he suddenly heard a strange voice.

At first it was an ethereal aria, then it was as soft as the murmur of distant stars, and there was no lyrics.

Like a pool of silver spring echoing, flowing and reverberating on the shore.

Every note of the chant seems to have a deep affection for the sea, and the miasma on the island is stirred by the song and thinned, and the moonlight that was originally isolated above is sprinkled into the island with the song.

By the moonlight, Kamiya saw a graceful figure sitting on a reef not far away, like the soft light of a light veil covering the figure, ethereal and holy.

"Is that Isohime? Is this the embodiment of the power of her ancestral image? ”

It's like a crab girl's light.

This kind of singing with strange power may be the external manifestation of the power of the sect statue in Isohime's bloodline.

You can clearly feel that the ocean is responding to her song, like the rhythm of a sleeping baby's breathing, softly, gently.

Unfortunately, this response did not last long.

The miasma of the island was rolling again, and the murky waters of the beach were restless, and the song that had just begun was obscured by the miasma, and covered by the loud sound of the waves, which soon became inaudible.

In the end, only a heavy sigh remained.

The figures on the reef were no longer crystal holy, but mixed with a thick fog, evenly smeared by the darkness, and became ugly and dim.

Kamiya approached the edge of the reef.

"It's a nice song."

Isohime, who was sitting on the reef, turned around and grinned wide, grinning horribly, revealing irregular fangs.

"You...... When did it come? ”

Her voice had become hoarse again, and it was completely polar from when she first sang.

"From the time you first started singing."

"I'm not doing anything bad for you. He was just praying to the sea, praying for the protection of his people and the freedom from the curse on his body. Perhaps thinking that Kamiyagawa would take the trouble to ask, Isohime simply answered on his own, so as not to be asked by him.

"I don't need to explain this, I don't have so many doubts, does the prayer work?"

"Nope." Isohime shook her head, "The ocean didn't respond to me. ”

"If you become the lord of the country and get the sea god's scepter, will things get better?"

"Perhaps."

Isohime wasn't sure about that either.

However, Kamiya has seen how intuitive and obvious the teardrop-shaped gem on the Seagod's Scepter is to the ability of Crab Hime.

If you can get the scepter, Isohime, who is also a sect statue, will definitely be reborn.

Maybe the time will really be able to solve the curse on her people.

There's hope anyway.

It's no wonder that last week, Isohime was forced to board the Zongxiang Shrine even if he died.

Thinking like this, Kamiyagawa took out a small clay pot from the [Mirage Cloth Bag] and threw it to Isohime.

The latter caught it with a webbed hand and shook it subconsciously, heavy.

"What is this?"

"The miasma pill is used to resist the harmful miasma on the island of the city. Although you have been plagued by this miasma for a long time, something is better than nothing. ”

Isohime, who was holding the clay pot, was stunned when she heard this.

She couldn't understand the man in front of her who claimed to be an oracle.

Is this a gesture of kindness to oneself and one's people?

He said that he was going to leave the sea country and go outside, in order to find this?

"Why did you give me this?"

"What's the reason for this, isn't it because you need it? Oh, so be it...... Because I am your master, it is my duty as a master to keep you from harm. ”

Isohime: ......

Sure enough, as soon as this man opened his mouth, he was still so annoying.

I want to smash this jar back into his face......

No, maybe this jar is not a medicine against miasma at all, but something else strange.

I feel like it's better not to eat.

"Anyway, I gave this thing to you, it's up to you to eat it or not."

Kamiyagawa seems to have seen through Isohime's thoughts at a glance and doesn't care at all.

The mermaid princess still didn't smash the clay pot back into Kamiya's face, she said awkwardly and quietly thanked her, raised her hand and summoned a crystal bubble to wrap around the miasma pill jar, and then jumped into the sea with the bubble in her hand.

Looking at it like this, I guess I'm going to store the potion.

While diving into the sea, Isohime also heard Kamiyagawa on the shore casually shouting, "Don't leave for too long, we'll leave for the ruins of Tagido Island in a while!" ”

……

Isohime seemed very cooperative about going to Tagido Island.

When Kamiya left yesterday, she was prepared, and discussed the information and intelligence of Tagido Island with her clan in detail.

The mouth resists, but the body is honest and obedient, and those who don't know really think that "the master's task cannot be violated".

But in fact, Isohime herself has the idea of exploring the ruins of Tagido Island.

I couldn't go before because I didn't have enough strength.

Now that Kamiyagawa has appeared, it is an opportunity for Isohime and her people.

Since you can't resist, you might as well make good use of it.

As for the mermaids, they naturally can't rest assured that the princess and Kamiya are going out alone, and they are still going to a forbidden place like Tagido Island.

But this time, Isohime didn't bring any of his subordinates and ordered all the clansmen to stay.

Different from the clan structure on the crab clan's side, although Crab Ji is a natural leader as a sect statue, there is also a respected crab shop supervisor above. On the mermaid side, the number itself is very small, and Isohime is a complete ruler.

Her commands were not to be disobeyed.

And Kamiyagawa doesn't care if there are other mermaids following this operation, it is enough to have a guide who knows the situation.

At most, only D-class minions probably won't be of much help.

Leaving Tagido Island, it is still a skeletal whale summoned by the sitting whale.

Kamiya, Isohime, and the Avatar are all on the back of a skeleton whale, which is large enough anyway.

The little whale didn't seem to be too afraid of the hateful mermaid princess, and sat alone on the whale's head and played the conch to control the direction, and the two sides were all safe.

"Speaking of which, it seems that the whale is only afraid of the very beautiful sister."

Kamiyagawa thought so.

Like the new member of the family, the demon concubine Wenche and the little whale are also avoided.

If you don't happen to bump into the demon concubine in the corridor alone, you can't wait to run away with two more legs.

"What beauty inspector ......"

A thousand mistakes are all the faults of Prajna.

If it weren't for the psychological shadow she left on the calf when he was very ignorant, would this child have formed the strange personality of being afraid of her beautiful sister now?

The wounds of childhood are estimated to take a lifetime to heal.

"But speaking of which, whales have always been close to the mountains. Is it because Hua Whale feels that Gao Shan is the woman with the lowest level of appearance in the family? Ah......h How presumptuous you are, little whale. ”

The scenery on the sea is the same, the sea is dark red everywhere, and the ruins of Tagido Island are far away, so it takes a long time to get there.

Kamiyagawa's mind was not so concentrated, thinking about something that he didn't have.

He didn't know how long his thoughts had wandered, but he suddenly sensed something, and the whale playing the conch in front of him slowed down for about five or six seconds, and stopped the sound of the snail horn.

"What's ......?"

It was as if a strange power was emerging from the sea.

His pupils contracted suddenly, and Kamiya quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the anomaly.

In the distance at 9 o'clock ahead, a huge whirlpool was rolled out of the dark red water, and the water splashed in all directions, and a huge wave was formed.

A huge shadow crushed out of the vortex without warning.

It was a large ship, rushing from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea, like a bewitching beast spreading its claws.

"What's that? A big house? ”

Kamiyagawa fixed his eyes.

The wooden hull is worn and covered in algae and shells, but the shape of the otaku ship is still distinct, and the bow to stern is protected by armor made of plates, covered with iron armor, and covered with holes for archery and guns.

Ataka is a large Japanese warship of the Warring States period.

At that time, the power of the boat was still mainly human oars, and large attaku boats even required 100 people to row. The ship can be equipped with cannons, and has extremely high attack and defense capabilities, which can be called a mobile castle on the sea.

The side of the Da'an Mansion was towering, the ruined hull was burning with a faint blue fire, and the sail canopy was whirring and swaying, intertwined with evil ghost fire and low mournful whistling, and suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.
