36. The Underwater City (Part I)
Wang Qinian spread his wings, flew straight to that side, and when he reached the sea, he circled and lowered his altitude. The singing became clearer and clearer, Wang Qinian's precautions could not tempt him, and the mermaid did not notice it.
The water surface was rolling, and Wang Qinian temporarily stabilized himself in the air, only a few dozen cubits away from the mermaid, spreading his wings and circling quietly under the night breeze.
The waves are getting higher and higher, the mermaid's singing has stopped, and a person rises in the water, Wang Qinian can see clearly, this is a six-armed snake man, in the "Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures", this creature is called Naga, the upper body is similar to a human, but the lower body is a snake tail, born to manipulate water, and even can attack with the help of water vapor, divided into two-armed snake people, four-armed snake people and six-armed snake people, as the strength rises, the arms also increase.
As soon as he appeared, the mermaid stopped singing: "Why are you here?"
"Yaxi, don't worry, Aunt Donna is fine, I'm worried about you. The six-armed snake man said, with a hint of voice in his voice.
Yasi looked at the sea: "I'm still worried, Bunier has returned, brought a ghost ship, he found the ghost ship, according to our ancient legends, disaster is coming, death will hang over this sea." ”
The six-armed snake man smiled slightly, stretched out his tongue and licked it, although in the dark night, Wang Qinian clearly saw that his tongue was like the tongue of a snake: "Legend also says that there will be another force of death to fight against him." ”
"Where is the other force? Bunier has come this time with hatred, and under the waves, there will be another wave of blood, and the east side of the island has been occupied by Bunir. ”
Wang Qinian heard this. Flying a little lower again, the six-armed snake man suddenly raised his head, his eyes were faintly shining, and he was very clear in the dark night, and he saw the giant eagle that Wang Qinian had turned into, and the water vapor in the air fluctuated, and Wang Qinian felt that the blood in his body was violently running away in an instant, as if it was about to explode.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but control the water vapor. What's even more terrifying. can actually control the water in the body of the creature, and Wang Qinian's body flashes slightly, separating his control zhì.
But this move exposed Wang Qinian's identity. The six-armed snake man made a loud noise. Shouted: "What people." Dare to sneak into a goshawk, the goshawk will not appear at all at night?"
Wang Qinian saw that he was seen through, and he no longer hid himself. With a shake of the body, the human form was restored, and it fell from the air, and a wave appeared beside the mermaid, which was woven into a coat in the blink of an eye, covering the body, and the fish's tail also turned into legs and stood up.
"Are you a druid?" the six-armed snake man asked vigilantly, secretly getting ready, and under the water, another evil eye flew out, staring at Wang Qinian. If you don't agree, you will shoot at each other.
"No, I know some druid skills, I'm a magician. Wang Qinian said that in order to dispel the other party's vigilance, he then reported his name.
The six-armed snake man also gave his name, Livai, and Yassi asked, "Mr. Wang, are you from the two boats on the other side of the island?"
"Yes, I am from the ship, and I have come to investigate one thing, and my ship is docked on the island. It was an occasional passing by here, but a crew member died for no reason, there was a remnant of the breath of a necromantic creature on his body, I don't know who did it, and when I returned to the ship, I found that the ship was trapped, and the bottom of the sea was densely packed with stone pillars and the like, and it was impossible to leave this island, because I didn't know the situation here, so I turned into a goshawk, checked on the island, and happened to see you here, so I flew over, not intentionally eavesdropping on the conversation between the two. Wang Qinian said, but there was something hidden in his words, either unintentionally listening to their conversation, but consciously eavesdropping.
"So, Mr. Wang, what kind of magic are you practicing, and why is there a breath of death in your body?" Yassi asked, and when she asked, Livai was startled, and in the blink of an eye, he remembered that legend, should it be on him?
Because Wang Qinian listened to their conversation and understood what was going on, he replied, "I am a necromancer, so I am more sensitive to the breath of necromancy. ”
Yasi and Livi looked at each other, and Yasi said, "We will not be interested in you, you are on land, we are in the sea, there is too little interaction between each other, do not interfere with each other, your people died, not surprisingly, it should be the work of the people of Bunir, I invite you on behalf of the Sea Clan, to visit our city." ”
Although he didn't say it directly, Wang Qinian knew what they meant, so he nodded in agreement: "It's an honor!" But he hesitated a little, looked at the sea, and estimated that he was going to enter the water, Wang Qinian was a lich, and there was nothing great about entering the water, he just held his breath, but his combat effectiveness under the water was sharply reduced, and he was not very suitable for living at the bottom of the sea.
Wang Qinian's hesitation attracted the attention of the two, and Yaqian said: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, you are not used to water, my clan has a way." "The light on his body flashed, adding a thin layer of shield to Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian analyzed this layer of protective film for the first time, it was amazing, it could blur the limitations of gas and liquid, and it was like being on land in the water, Wang Qinian established the prototype of this spell in his brain in a few breaths, and made some changes, so that the light film could better adapt to himself.
With a plop, Yaqian jumped into the sea, and Livai gradually sank, Wang Qinian did not hesitate, jumped into the sea, and before entering the water, he sent a psychic communication to Demps, telling him that he didn't have to worry, although the time was short for a moment, but the amount of information was large, not in words, but in the mind, if it was expanded in words, it might take more than an hour to speak, and then followed them to swim to the deep sea.
"Mr. Wang, our city is a city formed by many races, some races may be hostile to humans, and even some individuals are hostile to humans, you don't have to worry, you are our honored guest, they will not harm you. ”
"I'm curious, what races are there at the bottom of the sea?"
"There are merfolk tribes, there are Naga tribes, that is, snake people clan, there are dwarf tribes, including sea dwarfs and sea goblins, there are fish people clans, there are sea people who look very similar to you humans, but they have gills behind their ears, and a small number of aquatic giants, etc., everyone can live together peacefully. ”
The sea is getting deeper and deeper, going down the island, in fact, the Tierra del Fuego Islands are made by the sunset ocean submarine ridge exposed to the water, and the underwater is the real ridge, forming many mountain ranges, Wang Qinian followed the two downward, they did not use the clear light to separate the sea water, the deeper and deeper, Wang Qinian did not feel pressure.
The water is getting brighter and brighter, the depth of the water has exceeded six hundred cubits, there are dots of light, some are moving, Wang Qinian has already opened the faint horizon, it is some luminous creatures, there are shrimp, there are jellyfish, and there are even many unknown creatures Wang Qinian, if it weren't for the two of them in front, Wang Qinian might have to collect these specimens.
There are also algae similar to plants, which also emit a faint brilliance, some Wang Qinian is estimated to be not plants, there are several cold-water corals, there is a cold light over there, the further down, the sun can't shine in the deep sea, more and more light, and even form like the stars in the sky, beautiful and abnormal.
Wang Qinian was a little intoxicated, and unconsciously praised: "It's so beautiful!"
"It's very beautiful, I sometimes float on the surface of the sea at night, looking at the stars in the sky, and wondering if the stars are the same as it, floating in the night sky, but unfortunately, the shadow of death hangs over this sea. If Bunier is allowed to take power, the bottom of the sea will be plunged into darkness, and his army of ghosts will swallow up every light, and at that time, this beauty will not be seen. Yassi sighed.
Wang Qinian smiled slightly, and did not answer, Buniel's ghost ship Wang Qinian had been taught, as for what power it was, Wang Qinian didn't see it, but Wang Qinian was not stupid, and he didn't say anything about the grievances between himself and the ghost ship, although Yaqian listened to his words, but they didn't pay a certain price, Wang Qinian wouldn't make a move, he didn't care about the life or death of the undersea city, Bunier seemed to be a member of the sea clan, although he came back with the ghost ship, as long as he was not a demon, he definitely wanted to rule the city, and if he wanted to rule the city, he wouldn't kill everyone, and besides, Wang Qinian didn't know what kind of person Bunier was, and the situation was unknown, no self-interest, specifically for the benefit of others, Wang Qinian can't do it.
Seeing that Wang Qinian didn't speak, Yaqian said again: "Mr. Wang, you are a magician, you must be interested in some magic materials, if you can help us, we will pay a huge amount of magic wealth, we have a profession at the bottom of the sea, mainly the sea people, of course, other races also have them, called dismantlers, they can decompose materials, almost to the point that the materials are not wasted at all." ”
"I'm interested in magic materials, if I can get a batch, it would be great, if I can reach an agreement with you and exchange ideas, it would be even better. Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"I can promise magic materials, but if I want to do business with you, that's not up to me, it needs to be approved by the Race Council, and if you can help us defeat Bunir, I can help you submit a proposal to the Council. ”
From her speech, Wang Qinian knew that this mermaid had a very high status in their city, and said with a smile: "I accept this mentions, but I have a question, Bunier with a ghost ship, it stands to reason that it only belongs to necromancy, and none of the people in your city are his opponents?"
"This..."Yasi seemed to have something unspeakable, hesitated for a while, then looked at Levi again, and said: "To tell you the truth, the necromantic power is not a big deal, we can fight him, but he has the seed of death in his hands, specifically restraining us Aqua, this is a special force, all of us are helpless, but humans are not within the scope of his restraint." ”
Wang Qinian understood, they were not afraid that Wang Qinian had the seed of death, and the ghost ship had not used the seed of death on Wang Qinian, indicating that the seed of death had great shortcomings, and it might even be only possible for Liwai to use it.
Wang Qinian didn't know that he had guessed correctly, Yaqian was not afraid that Wang Qinian had the seed of death at all. (To be continued......)
