Chapter 23: The Man of the Island
Lindsay carefully observed Alasson in front of her.
The boat sitting under the other party's crotch is drawn; The canvas that has just been torn - it is also painted.
Arazon's technique is also used quite skillfully.
The ship he painted was an ordinary boat; However, the blue canvas that obscures the figure has the effect of essentia effect.
From afar, it is an extremely realistic canvas of seawater, which blends in with the sea.
Unless someone perceives it in advance, or crashes headlong, it is really difficult to detect the existence of Alazon above a vast ocean.
"It turned out to be a five-stage painter."
Lindsey muttered quietly.
He had received information about the artist from Valawala.
Singers or actors don't care.
Painters alone, when they become ascended in the fifth stage, they can turn their works into physical objects, but on a smaller scale, they cannot exist for a long time after they are separated from the awakened.
Once you advance to the sixth stage, the scale of creation will be greatly increased.
In the seventh stage, the works created by the painters will be enhanced to the level of permanent materialization.
Alazon in front of him can draw these things and escape from Mermaid Island.
The true skill of the other party has been proven.
ββ¦β¦β
On the sea, the two men in control of the boat looked at each other, and they both got a new understanding of their roommate.
I even thought of it with pity.
- You're pretty fast!
Alazon rowed to Lindsay.
He looked at the storm not far away, but the focus of his eyes finally fell on the mermaid girl.
"Lindsay, you conquered this mermaid of the Red Sea, so let her escape with you?"
"It's okay if you understand that." Lindsay did not explain too much on this issue, but directly told the painter the result behind him, "Alason, our current trouble lies in the storm behind. β
"I just went in and checked, and this thing was created to prevent anyone from leaving the area."
ββ¦β¦β
Alathon frowned.
Not far away, the storm was still howling and churning on the sea.
With his insight as an artist.
Such a magnificent scene, the awakened of the sixth stage, I am afraid that it can only be barely drawn.
Consider the duration of this storm again.
Needless to say β it's definitely the work of Stage 7 artists!
Alason's heart sank, and he asked the mermaid girl:
"That's why someone is helping you thrive?"
"If you're not mistaken, he's on the island right now?"
The mermaid girl was initially interested in Alason.
But after seeing the other party's mutilated arm, her attention completely returned to Lindsay:
"Honey, I only listen to what you say!"
Lindsey immediately corrected:
"Call me Lindsay, tell me more about it."
The mermaid girl almost cried, but she was bewitched by the twin snake coins, and now she could only obey orders.
"There are people who are really helping us find a partner. And this storm was also created by that adult. β
Lindsey asked:
"Do you know his identity?"
The mermaid girl shook her head:
"I don't know, he's usually on the island."
Lindsey remembered what she had seen:
"There seem to be a lot of humans living on this island, right?"
The mermaid girl shyly lowered her head and began to drill into Lindsay's arms:
"A lot of people actually like to get along with us, so they settled here."
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay was a little speechless for a moment.
He dragged the mermaid out and continued to ask:
"It's not all like that."
The mermaid girl replied affirmatively:
"That's right, the Lord has his own companions and apprentices. And on the 15th and 30th of every month, other friends from the ocean will also visit him. When those people come, there are always big and big boats! β
The mermaid girl was not very good at describing the grandeur of the ship, so she could only spread her arms and draw as large a circle in front of her as she could.
In this passage, Lindsay guessed a possibility:
"Listen to what you mean, this storm creator seems to have been here for a long time?"
The mermaid girl nodded immediately:
"It's been like this for as long as I can remember."
Alasson interjected next to him:
"Did he charge you anything for helping you like this?"
Humans with crippled bodies are completely out of the category of mermaid girls' mate selection.
When she saw Alasson asking, she twisted her head directly, and kindly pasted it back to Lindsay:
"Hey, hey, who knows?"
Lindsay had no choice but to speak:
"Please, tell us."
Only then did the mermaid girl become honest:
"Nope."
"That adult will help us set off a storm in January ~ March every year. And he also spreads water mist on the island, which makes everyone feel very good every day. β
"He is a good person who only does good deeds and does not ask for anything in return!"
ββ¦β¦β
This 'good' thing is really 'good' enough!
Is it good to support the breeding of a few species?
Lindsay suppressed her desire to complain and continued to ask:
"You rob travelers like this, what will you do if the City of Thousand Sails comes to ask for someone?"
The mermaid girl replied:
"It's okay. The City of a Thousand Sails is coming to ask for someone, as long as we cooperate well, we will not be harmed. β
"And many of the money that sisters earn from singing and modeling, we give it to our partners. Everyone was very happy when they parted! β
Speaking of this, the mermaid girl's eyes lit up.
She rubbed on Lindsay with great intimacy:
"Dear ~~ Lindsay!"
"Your wife, I'm so beautiful! When I was a model in the City of a Thousand Sails, a lot of people paid me quite well. β
"When we finish our honeymoon on the island, all my wealth will be given to you! Isn't it good? β
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay subtly sensed the malice from the Golden Rule.
He was sure that if he nodded now, he would reap an unimaginable fortune.
Lindsay sighed, ignoring the temptation of riches:
"The Lord Who created the storm, will he help you solve the problem when the City of Thousand Sails comes forward?"
The mermaid girl shook her head:
"I haven't seen him come into contact with the messengers of the City of a Thousand Sails."
ββ¦β¦β
After asking about the situation on the island.
Under the reluctant gaze of the mermaid girl, Lindsay forcibly ordered her to jump off the boat, and instructed the other party not to reveal the news of herself and Alason.
Against the heartbroken gaze of the sea.
Lindsay and Arazon rendezvous and sail back in the direction of the island.
On the way, we did not forget to exchange views with each other:
"Now it seems that these mermaids should be the guise for that guy to keep the outside out, he must have some shady deeds on the island."
"But it has nothing to do with us." Lindsay shook her head, "What we should be thinking about now is how to escape from this place. Unless you're like those island guys and are willing to give these merfolk babies. β
Think of what might happen in the future.
Alasson put his hand on his face and put on a sighing vicissitudes of life:
"Forget about that kind of thing."
"By the way, didn't that mermaid lady just say? Two days a month, ships come in, so that's supposed to be our chance to escape? β
Lindsey shook her head in the negative:
"Dealing with this kind of unsavory guy - it's not a good ride."
Alasson asked tentatively:
"And what do you meanβto open the passage in the storm when the ship comes in?"
Lindsay still shook her head.
He explained to Alason, his tone low but firm:
"This storm can distinguish between friend and foe, and it is impossible to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away."
"If we want to get out, we can only break in!"
