Chapter 40: Strange Gods Fight to Collect the Waves (Part II)

"Over time, every meter the shovel digs down, it costs two, three or even five times as much money as it used to. Soon, the treasures and money obtained from the sale of potions were consumed by me, and the family's own funds were becoming less and less, and the housekeeper reported to me that the family's financial resources could no longer sustain such a huge expenditure. But I've felt it, it's down there, I'm getting closer and closer to it, and now is not the time to give up. ”

When Yulia read this, everyone's brows furrowed, and they pricked up their ears to listen to the contents of the diary, and what was going on underneath to lure the ancestors of the Hamlet family into doing crazy things. Countless amounts of money, time, and even human lives have been invested for this unknown thing, which has made a historical family with a strong mark in the history of the empire so depressed now.

But the next step in the diary was skipping this crucial point and turning to another note, "So, I decided to make a pleasant deal with the fishmen who lived in the nearby seas. ”

"Fishmen?There are still fishmen living in the sea near the Raven Territory?Those monsters who eat raw meat all day long, don't know whether it's warm or cold, and drink blood?!" Audrey heard this, and involuntarily let out a voice, her tone getting higher and higher, full of suspicion.

"According to the records of the military department many years ago, their fleet did encounter fish-man attacks while cruising in the nearby waters, but the military department sent a combat fleet to carry out large-scale cleansing and extermination of the sea, and there has been no record of fish-man attacks on ships for decades. "Sister Yulia, a war nun, served in the military department before, and before returning to the Raven Domain, she had learned more about the information about the Raven Territory recorded in the Military Department through a special way, and at this time, she naturally told everything she knew.

"It seems that the ancestor's communication is very extensive, the bandit bandits, the experts and scholars of the Necromantic Herb School, and now the fish people, the life is really rich and colorful, and our descendants are beyond the reach of the dust. Dismas whistled again.

Yulia glanced at Dismas, didn't say anything, lowered her head and continued, "These fish people who live on the cold and dark bottom of the sea all year round have made their requests: they need some metal products, some totems of special materials, and a beautiful queen. As long as I can meet these requirements, they will reward me handsomely. ”

Speaking of this, Yulia paused, and everyone instantly understood the end of the story.

"Metalwork, totem cults, and other things are very easy to obtain, and there are countless pieces of tatters waiting to mold in the Imperial warehouse.

Find a batch and you can meet their requirements. I quickly found some statues, stones, and metal utensils, but the beautiful queen was a real headache. ”

"Finally, I thought of a suitable person, a beautiful face that could sing. On a blood-colored night, the moon seemed to be dyed with a blood mist, hazy and beautiful. After promising her love and status, I took her to the romantic bay, where we sang and danced and spent the evening with wine, fruit and barbecue. When she was drunk, I tied her to the totem and the statue and gently pushed her hand towards the sea...... The next day, an innumerable treasure of gold and silver appeared on the shore near the cliff. Unfortunately, it turned out that some of my first research materials were secretly put into her underwear as a souvenir and taken away, hoping that no one would ever know the secret. ”

"Damn, are we targeting that witch who is crazy about herbs and that innocent girl who is full of resentment? What the fuck!" Dishmas burst into a foul mouth, unable to suppress his anger at all.

"Whether it's the potion that might exist or the last piece of information in the record, we must find it. Only by figuring out the goals of the ancestors can we break the curse of the Raven Realm. ”

"What kind of curse, I think it is his own death, everything is done for his own ambition. ”

Quarrels are quarrels, and the exploration must continue, and the top priority is to find the kind of magic potion mentioned in the diary first, which can be used to remove the werewolf curse from Bigby's body, so that he can recover as soon as possible and expand the ranks of the town's professionals.

After some discussion, the adventure of the medicine garden was made by four people: the leper warrior, the robber, the saint of war, and the occultist. Since the occult scholar Shen also has the status of "Divine Grace", the attack power is not high, and the main skill is the ascetic grace that is attached and superimposed on the state of flesh bleeding, and it can't have much effect on spore plants such as plants and trees, so it was left for the first time.

However, the result of the exploration team's action was unexpected, because when the team returned, the number of people was not four, but five, one more!

The extra one was an expressionless woman, her turquoise hair was simply made of wooden branches into jewelry, her hair was tied, her body was a garment made of vine woven from grass and rattan fibers, a necklace hung around her neck, and balls the size of her fingers and belly were finely carved, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be the head of an animal, but I don't know why it shrunk so small. There were dozens of skins around his waist, each small but full, and the scent of herbs wafted in the air.

"Remember to call me when you leave~" After the woman said this, she walked towards a room, "Remember to bring in something to eat, I have forgotten the taste of a lot of food." With that, the door was shut.

"Who is she?" someone asked the explorers. Yulia, the saint of war, took a yellowish potion from her waist and handed it to Barristan, a veteran in the crowd, and pointed deeper into the hallway. Barristan suddenly became agitated and left with the potion.

Someone still wanted to ask something, Yulia shook her hand, "I'll talk about it later~ Dismas, you go get some food and send it to the room first, don't make that lady wait for a long time." Dismas didn't retort and turned away.

Deep in the hallway, a low roar was heard, with surprise in its voice. Then two figures appeared at the front of the hallway, Barristan with the head, and a middle-aged man in the background, dressed in sackcloth, barely wrapping his upper body and hips, his calves and feet were bare, and there were few hairs on his head, but there was a relaxed expression on his face.

"Welcome back, Bigby~" Baldwin, the leper warrior, was the first to stand up to greet him and explain the identity of the comer. Immediately, the atmosphere of the scene became warm. Everyone hugged Bigby into the room, and Wang Chengen and the four of them saw Bigby's humanoid form for the first time, and they had all watched from afar as a wolf's head tried his best to hide his figure in the deepest part of the shadows, hoping to avoid the eyes of others.

"Thank you~"

"No, you became like this for the sake of the town, and now it's okay, you're back up. ”

"We are a group and people will not forget you. ”

......

"So you came up with this plan?"

"Yes, when Shen said this, we didn't expect the lady to respond to us at all. We thought it would be another big war next. ”

"Shen, how did you come up with that?"

He Shen didn't say anything, just shook the thin-necked medicine bottle in his hand, and the blue medicine in it was only three-fifths.

"Shen used a blessing potion to restore her body, and what was she like before?"

"I don't think you want to know the truth, because you're going to have nightmares. ”

"But strictly speaking, she is no longer considered a human body, so the blessing potion will work on her. She combines her body with plants, which is how long she can live. ”

"And what does she eat in there?"

"Fruits, mushrooms and other things, these things are not lacking in the medicine garden, and all the animals used for the experiment have all died more than a hundred years ago, and she can only survive on the edible plants in the medicine garden, year after year. ”

"So she's obsessed with meat now?"

"I can say that I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I want to reminisce about it. ”

"It's very good, it can be said that we got the potions we need without blood, and the lady's superb dispensing skills can save us some curses and rules. ”

"Does she know what the Ancestors are doing?"

"She only knew that it was related to the Old Gods, and the passage under the manor connected the ruins of the ancient gods, where there was a powerful and mysterious power that mortals could hardly resist, and the test potion she made was to make humans better adapt to the remnants of the ruins of the old gods. ”

"It seems that the final key is to find the Fishman Queen~"

"That innocent poor woman doesn't know if it's still there, after so many years, will the fish-man live so long?"

"Madame tell her to take her along, and she will come forward to persuade the girl. ”

"I hope so~"

......

"Wow~Wow~" A fishtail swayed on the ground, every time it swayed, the sound of waves came from the blue fishtail scales, the white belly of the fish, the skin of the fish on it seemed a little loose, and the low-hanging chest seemed irrelevant at this moment. Red starfish, gray barnacles are scattered sporadically on blue scales and azure hair.

Beneath the hair was a desperate face, two triangular eyes, close and flat nostrils, and a large mouth full of sharp teeth. A ray pierced through its forehead, and a faintly glowing sac hung from it, and its ears were gone, except for a huge sac growing under its chin, more of a fish monster than a fish man.

When the beautiful girl recorded in the diary appeared in front of everyone, the scene fell silent. Only He Shen handed over the slender neck bottle in his hand, "Try this, maybe you can turn back into a human body." ”

The expressionless lady took the long bottle and handed it to the fish monster on the side.

Elixir with silver threads and silver stars poured on the loose skin, and countless tiny lightning bolts jumped, with a faint ionization sound. The scales gradually became smaller, turning into a pale blue pattern attached to the skin, the four fingers with webbed hands gradually regained their human form, the ray spines on the forehead slowly retracted, the light sac was like a pearl inlaid on it, and a flower-like face reappeared under the azure hair.

"It can only be like this~" A nice voice came out of the beautiful woman's face, "The curse I used to look like was because I was powerless to protect when a large number of fish-people of my own clan died, and now I have finally recovered." ”

"It seems that you, like me, have ceased to be a pure human being. The lady sighed.

"You are all descendants of the Hamlet family?" The lower body is still a fish tail, but the fish body that re-exudes a youthful atmosphere beats extremely hard.

Wang Chengen has always lived in the Ming Dynasty, where has he seen this kind of monster who still does not change his face without clothes, and he can't help but turn his body slightly to avoid a little embarrassment.

"No, only a few of us are descendants of the Hamlet family, the rest are professionals who have sacrificed and contributed to the town of Hamlet. Yulia, the Holy Maiden of War, was the first to speak, and it was obviously inappropriate to say at this time that everyone was actually an adventurer who came to the ruins of this dilapidated manor to pan for gold.

"What do you want to know? Is the town okay?" asked the blue-haired beauty.

"If we can, we'll go back to our room. In fact, our main purpose is to keep a diary left by our ancestors. ”

......

"So you want to find the secret he left behind, to break the curse of the Raven Collar?"

"Not bad~ Raven Collar and Hamlet Town belong to everyone who has dedicated to her, and should not belong to the private property of the Hamlet family. The townspeople deserve a better life. ”

"What you think is really ~ Forget it, since you want to know what your ancestors did, then take this thing. The blue-haired beauty pulled out a book carved from coral shells, "I'm going with you, I think this lady has the same idea." ”

The expressionless lady nodded.

Yulia took a deep breath, took the diary, slowly opened it, and read it in public.

"The origin of everything is due to the change of the stars, and when the stars representing the gods in the sky gradually coalesce into a strange pattern, Hamlet Manor seems to have become the core of the universe at this moment, surrounded by all the heavens and stars. A group of people dressed in strange costumes came to my estate at this time, claiming that a great sacrifice would be held here in anticipation of the blessings of the ancient gods. ”

"The mysterious unknown of the Old Gods, Eternal Life, awakened my rotten soul, and I decided to devote my life to uncovering this secret. ”

The moment the diary was opened, as the word in the diary was read by Yulia, the world couldn't help but change color, the thick night that could not be dissolved like ink enveloped the entire crow collar, some inexplicable stars appeared and shone on the dark sky, and the blood-colored moon dyed this sky with a strange color.

Somewhere in the manor, a white light rose into the sky, and the white pillar of light was like a torch, which was particularly distinct in this strange environment.

Is that where the secret discovered by the ancestors is?

All the professionals solemnly put on their weapons and trinkets at this moment, and the long procession disappeared into the pillar of light, including ladies with facial expressions and blue-haired beauties.
