649. Murals

Death?

Missing?

Or was it because of something that the merfolk locked up?

Or something else?

If the Son of the Twin Beads died, how did it die? Where are the two shark beads after death? What effect did its death have on the merfolk?

If the Son of the Twin Beads is missing, when did it disappear? And why did they disappear? Have the merfolk looked for it for so many years? Did you get any clues?

If......

There are too many possibilities, and there are too many questions, Su Yu can't list them at all!

She sighed, then continued to look at the walls around her, trying to find some other clues that could be used to reason about the matter.

It's a pity that she didn't find any other clues related to the text around her...... However, although there were no text clues, she saw several murals.

There are a total of five scenes in the mural.

The first scene is in a place resembling an altar, with a smaller merfolk standing in the center of the altar, surrounded by a circle of merfolk.

Because the mural was similar to a stick figure, it only drew the simple outlines of these mermaids, and did not draw the expressions on their faces in detail, so Su Yu didn't know what their attitude was towards the mermaid in the middle.

The protagonist of the second scene is obviously the surrounded mermaid, but it seems to have grown up a little now, in this scene, it is the only mermaid, there are no other creatures around, there are only countless books and texts.

If the first scene is the juvenile stage of the mermaid, then the second scene is that it grows up and begins to learn knowledge.

And the third scene is similar to the previous one, except that it has changed from learning literary knowledge to learning combat knowledge.

There are many hideous-looking unknown creatures in this scene, all of which are lying on the ground, and the only creature standing is the special mermaid.

In the fourth scene, it is split into two screens, with countless mermaids kneeling down below, and a throne at the top, where a mermaid sits on the throne and is bowed down by the other merfolk of the entire mermaid clan.

Originally, there was nothing special about this scene, and the content could also be connected to the previous three scenes, if the whole story was connected to the matter of the son of Shuangzhu, then the plot should be like this:

The son of Shuangzhu has attracted the attention of many mermaids since he was born, because of its special physique, it needs to learn various things since it was a child, and it needs to become an excellent, both civil and military mermaid.

After it had learned all the content, it ascended to the throne of the merfolk and became the mermaid king......

It all makes sense, but the biggest problem with this fourth scene is that Su Yu sees two thrones, one is empty and the other is a mermaid seated.

Su Yu didn't know if the mermaid sitting on the throne was the son of Shuangzhu, and she couldn't understand why there were two thrones.

It can only be said that one of the thrones must be the mermaid king's, so whose other throne is it?

If you have to imagine a possibility, then Su Yu thinks that this extra position should be for the companion of the mermaid king.

The 'Mermaid King' is just an identity, not a gender, and like the elves, the Mermaid King can be either a female or a male, so the gender of the partner is not determined.

But that's not the point, the focus is on these two thrones.

If this guess is correct, why is there still one less mermaid when two thrones have already been arranged?

And this missing mermaid is the mermaid king, or its companion?

Su Yu couldn't figure it out, so she could only focus on the last scene.

To her surprise, the image given by this fifth scene did not seem to be related to the previous four scenes.

But what is certain is that the protagonist of this picture is definitely the son of Shuangzhu, because Su Yu can clearly see that the mermaid's chest in this picture has been cut open, and the outline of the two circles inside is very obvious.

The last mural seems to only depict the son of the murdered Shuangzhu, but upon closer inspection, Su Yu saw a 'hidden' mermaid in the corner of the picture.

It is said to be hidden, but in fact, this mermaid is only painted very small, and the location is also very remote.

The imagery gives people the impression that this son of Shuangzhu was killed by an unknown person, but another mermaid knew about it, but this mermaid was watching from a distance, and did not come forward, and I don't know whether he dared or didn't want to, or whether it was one of the murderers.

If the son of Shuangzhu is the mermaid king, then the people who are most likely to harm the mermaid king should be the people around the mermaid king...... Thinking of that empty throne, Su Yu had a bold idea.

The son of Shuangzhu becomes the king of mermaids, but is killed by his partner!

At first glance, this should be the final answer, but if you push it back, Su Yu feels that something is wrong.

If this mermaid king's mate really killed the mermaid king, then why could it sit on the throne and enjoy the mermaid clan's prostration?

Isn't there a second mermaid in this world who knows the truth?

This possibility is obviously not very high, after all, the mermaid king has an accident, and it is also such an important son of Shuangzhu, its accident will definitely arouse the attention of the entire mermaid clan, and the partner, as the best candidate to start, will definitely become the focus of the investigation.

And even if there is really no second mermaid who knows that the mermaid king was killed because of his partner, then this partner will not be able to sit in the position of the mermaid king, for the sake of stability within the clan, the elders will definitely jointly elect the next mermaid king, so as to stabilize the hearts of the mermaid clan.

In that case, why did the mermaid king's partner want to harm the mermaid king?

It killed the Mermaid King, except for pushing itself to the forefront, it did not do any good, unless the next Mermaid King also had something to do with it, or it was bought by the next Mermaid King.

But this possibility is also unlikely, after all, as mentioned before, the existence of a mermaid king who is not only the king of mermaids, but also the son of Shuangzhu, will definitely attract the attention of the mermaid clan.

Even if someone really killed the mermaid king for the throne, then it would definitely not be able to escape suspicion, unless it was not for the throne at all, but only wanted to mess up the merfolk and make the merfolk leaderless.

The more Su Yu's mind thought about it, the more confused it became, and her thoughts were interrupted here, and the feeling of being forced to stop thinking without a train of thought was very uncomfortable.

"My lord, someone found something over there, saying he wanted you to come and have a look." Toya's voice rang in his ears.

Su Yu came back to her senses, she was about to answer, but after seeing Duoya, her eyes lit up, and then she spoke......
