Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the island of Meria, thanks to the subsidence of the volcano and the reconciliation of the fish-people, the merfolk are gradually returning. On the one hand, they want to put the city in order after the rebellion, and on the other hand, they continue to search for the missing merfolk.
Due to the unregulated rebellion of the Fishmen, the city of MerΓa was severely destroyed, and was full of burning, looting, and devastated bricks and tiles.
However, in this city that has been ravaged to the point of almost complete body, there is still one house that is unharmed, and that is the mansion of the leader of the mermaid mages, the tiger.
This lavish mansion looks so out of place in the ruins that it is often noticeable.
However, the owner of the house did not care about this, and only silently entered the intact room, and then slammed the door shut.
The empty house was dark, gloomy and terrifying.
At some point, the number of people living in the house gradually decreased, and after this disaster, only this owner remained.
But the master was enjoying the feeling, and he walked to the bookshelf in his room, skillfully pulled out a few thick books, and then turned and walked to the portrait on the wall.
This is a portrait of the owner of the house, and the majesty and grace of the portrait can be seen in the artist's superb painting skills. However, the owner of the house did not appreciate this, and with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he pressed his hand to the painting.
When the square of the nose is removed, the portrait is like a puzzle, divided into many small pieces and moved freely.
The master was still very skilled in reassembling the drawing, and finally put the square on the nose back again.
The rearranged portrait looks like a distorted deformity, yet it expresses an eerie harmony that produces another expressive effect, as if the subject of the portrait had undergone terrible torture in hell to make such a distorted face appear.
At this moment, the sound of a heavy boulder moving was heard behind the portrait.
When the sound stops completely, the tiger gently pushes, and the portrait should be pushed away. A passage in the wall is revealed.
The tiger quickly entered the passage, then closed the portrait with his hand, and the room returned to its previous gloom and darkness.
"Who is it? is it the Puppet King!?" said a voice of surprise and anticipation from the dimly lit basement. The voice is also very old.
"Puppet King, he's already gone. The tiger replied with some annoyance.
There was a faint candlelight in the basement, dim and gloomy, which made people very uncomfortable.
There are three people inside, one is the tiger who has just entered the room, one is Lin Yan who is dressed in black, and the other is the mermaid witch Xi Shabei who covers her neck.
On Xi Shabei's neck and clothes. There are horrible blood stains, as if an artery has just been cut by something, so it can have such an amazing plasma effect.
However, the situation was even worse, and Sisabe, knowing that the puppet king had not come, sighed in great disappointment and sat down on the ground. But at this time, she still did not dare to leave her neck.
"Damn Asar, I really don't know how she found me!" "Xi Shabei kept saying as if venting her anger, "What's even more odious is that I was accidentally hit by her with a 'guillotine blade'!
"Bastard! That old witch didn't really want to kill me at all. She just wants me to be tortured forever!" Thisabelle's voice grew louder and louder, and finally turned into vulgar swearing. She scolded so much as if there was Asarist standing in the air.
"Enough!" Tiger interrupted Xi Shabei's scolding, "We're not here to listen to you!"
Hear the tiger's reprimand. Xi Shabei stopped cursing abruptly, as if she was afraid of the middle-aged mermaid.
"I think the reason why you gathered us is because the puppet king has something to convey?" Lin Yan, who had been silent, asked at this time.
"Yes. Wait, this dress is so hot, I'm going to take it off. The tiger pointed impatiently to his chest. Said.
"Hmm. β
"Woo ......" only to see the tiger let out a very painful moan, and the whole body kept struggling, as if the soul was being held by countless shackles with barbs, and every time it moved, a large piece of flesh would be torn out.
At the same time, black water droplets seem to be constantly emerging from the tiger's back, and the water droplets are becoming more and more, gradually turning into "small streams" that continue to flow down from its body.
In the end, the "black water" was completely drained, and only a skin was left in the tiger's body, and it fell to the ground on its stomach.
And the pool of black water gradually turned into a human form, turning into a middle-aged man in black who looked gloomy.
This person is Lin Yan's master, but Lin Yan doesn't have any gratitude for him, if you have to say a little gratitude, it is "thank the master for not killing".
Lin Yan didn't know the master's real name, and she didn't even know her origin, only that the puppet king called him "Lan", and he was an extremely mysterious and powerful ninja.
Moreover, Lin Yan is sure that this master must be a complete madman.
"The puppet king asked me to tell you to go to the northern kingdom and make the next step. The middle-aged ninja moved his muscles and said to Lin Yan, "All the qiΔ here is no longer useful, destroyed." β
"Destroy!? Don't be kidding, although the mermaid intends to use wealth to eliminate the hatred of the mermaids, as long as it is handled properly, we can still basically control the ...... of those mermaids" Lin Yan couldn't help but be anxious when she saw her painstaking efforts ruined.
This time, she planned to dispose of the fishmen who had prestige in the organization, such as the monkfishman couple, in order to be able to completely control the organization. After all, mastering such a large number of fishmen will greatly increase your own strength.
However, before Lin Yan's defense was finished, she was stabbed in the neck by the middle-aged ninja's short knife. Fortunately, the other party's subordinates showed mercy, and it was only the tip of the knife that entered, and it was not deeply life-threatening, but it was enough to make Lin Yan tremble and stop talking.
"There are so many loopholes in your plan this time, what qualifications do you have to speak?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yan dissatisfiedly, and the knife was slightly forced.
"I, I don't know why the 'Tears of the Sea' suddenly disappeared. Lin Yan felt pain, and the first thought in her heart was "I can't die"! This is the belief that she has always supported since she came into contact with this world.
Therefore, Lin Yan's knees weakened and knelt directly at Lan's feet.
"Don't kill me, I can't do exactly what I planned. However, in the end, the plan worked, didn't it? Without 'Tears of the Sea', we also managed to control Karubia, and Jane's heart was not temporarily settled. Lin Yan begged for mercy while excusing herself.
"Yes. Arashi put away his weapon and looked into the depths of the basement, the darkness made him feel safe, "I didn't think the puppet king would be so reckless, without the tears of the sea to quell the fire elemental. He actually ...... Does he really want to ruin the world?"
"Forget it, you can go wherever you go. Lan turned to Lin Yan and said, "Remember, you're not the only one, if you're still so ignorant of the rules, then I'll have to treat you like everyone else." β
"Thank you. Seeing that the other party had no killing intent, Lin Yan hurriedly stood up and respectfully stepped aside.
"Actually, I am also very sad to give up the fish-man. But have you ever thought about the consequences of disobeying the puppet king's orders?" Arashi asked calmly.
"Yes, yes. Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a chill.
Lin Yan felt very uneasy from the moment she heard that the puppet king had asked her to go to the northern kingdom to operate. Because the layout of the northern country is already very mature. Even if you don't go, it won't have much impact. However, the puppet king named him to go to the north, and he intended to ...... Make yourself bond with Jacqueline!?
Thinking of this, Lin Yan felt even more frightened. She didn't want to bond with Jacqueline, and it turned out that Jane was the best example.
However, Lin Yan did not have the confidence and courage to resist the puppet king, because she knew it. "She's not the only one", the puppet king wants to execute her, it's a no-brainer.
Now Lin Yan felt that she was being forced into an alley with a cliff at the end of the beast, and there was only one way to die in the end, but if she didn't move forward, she would die faster.
"There really is no choice...... Lin Yan couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart, this is her favorite thing to say to the person being calculated, and she didn't expect to say it to herself.
"Alright, you guys leave first, and I'll evacuate Leyfsea after I've taken care of a few things. Lan could see Lin Yan's psychology, but he didn't say anything, just explained it coldly.
"Yes. β
At this moment, Xi Shabei suddenly stood up and said to Lin Yan: "Wait, I'm going to the north too, I'm on the way with you, I need someone to protect me." β
"Is there anything wrong with you going to the northern country? With your strength, as long as you don't mess around, you can go anywhere, so why let someone weaker than you protect you?" Lan said with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm going to see my mentor, Ice Witch, Lord Konovin, I've been struck by that old monster of Asara with a 'guillotine blade', and if I don't hold my hand down on my neck, my head will fall off and I'll die immediately. Xi Shabei replied hatefully, "I can't fight now, I need someone to protect me." Damn it...... When I unravel this curse, this revenge, I must return a tooth for a tooth!"
"But Lin Yan can only give you a ride, she won't go to the dwarf's territory, she still has something to do. β
"It's all right! It's still safer in the dwarven territory than here. β
"Then go quickly, don't waste any more time. β
When Lan emphasized the order for the second time, a silky strange and eerie murderous aura emanated from him, which made the other two shiver.
Lin Yan and Xi Shabei knew that they had been delayed for too long, and they had reached the limit of Lan's patience. The two of them could only salute in a hurry, and then quickly leave the chamber.
All of them were calm, and only Arashi silently watched the darkness.
Then, the middle-aged ninja snapped his fingers, and the faint candle was extinguished. Suddenly, however, the entire chamber was bright.
Lighting stones, the top of the secret room is inlaid with countless lighting stones, because of the magic power supply of magic crystals, all of them are lit up at once.
Hidden in the depths of the secret room is a large wardrobe, more than twenty meters long, which occupies almost half of the basement.
There was a terrifying frenzy in Arashi's already calm eyes, and he leaned over to pick up the human skin he had just taken off, walked to the closet, and then gently pulled it with his hand, and the door of the closet folded open to both sides.
In the wardrobe are transparent crystal coffins. These crystal coffins are less than a meter wide, yet they are tall and occupy the longitudinal space of the entire wardrobe.
The crystal coffins are so neatly arranged in the wardrobe that it will indeed shock those who meet it for the first time.
But what is even more shocking is that these crystal coffins are filled with an unknown transparent liquid, and the liquid contains a body that has been stripped of skin, revealing red muscles and white tendons.
Even more frightening was the fact that the bodies were still alive, struggling painfully in the fluid, but unable to exert themselves and unable to get out.
"It's really hard to be a good actor, in order to ensure their acting skills, the owners of the 'clothes' must be well maintained and carefully observe their behavior. Lan looked at the bodies, smiled appreciatively, and walked to a crystal coffin with her "clothes".
The one in the crystal coffin was looking at the vicious ninja with angry eyes.
"Thank you for the clothes. Arashi carefully placed the human skin on the hanging in front of the crystal coffin, and said politely to the owner of the "clothes".
These people were all captured alive by Arashi, skinned with extreme cruelty, and then kept alive by mermaids in crystal coffins!
In addition to tigers, there are many mermaids who have been treated like this, including mermaids who used to bully monkfish people and couples.
Having lost their skin, these merfolk could not survive except to be kept in this way, and they were now left to live in agony for their lives, which had no future.
"Thank you so much, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish so much without your clothes. Lan Nayan's expression gradually lost control, and then he laughed wildly, "The mermaid values the most and thinks that the most noble reputation is so happy to be played with by me like this!"
So many skins are enough for Arashi to do a lot of hurtful things. It can be said that in this mermaid rebellion, Lan's disguise played the most crucial role.
"But I'm sorry. When he had laughed enough, Lan turned back to his calm face, which was completely different from the two of them just now, "I'm leaving, and I have to destroy the evidence, so ......"
With that, Arashi jumped backwards several meters away, and just as he landed and stood firm, the entire wardrobe exploded, and crystal shards, unknown liquids, and imprisoned bodies all fell to the ground.
As soon as the unknown liquid came into contact with the air, it was quickly evaporated, and without the protection of the liquid, those bodies were exposed to the dry air, and they felt unbearable pain all over their bodies for a while, and they could only struggle desperately, wailing indiscriminately, and the pain was incomparable.
However, Arashi ignored the "waste", and he walked straight out of the secret room, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
Shortly after Arashi left, the only surviving building in the Merfolk Mutiny collapsed......
"I can't imagine that things could go so smoothly without 'Tears of the Sea'...... Sure enough, destiny is on my side!" Arashi's figure loomed in the air, and as he was speeding away from Meria Island, he pondered, "But where did the 'Tears of the Sea' fall?"
...
......
"Granny Azar, I'm sorry that we lost your 'Tears of the Sea' because of us," Jacqueline said apologetically to the guardian of the "Fertility Altar" as Asara left the ship.
The girl is still feeling guilty about it.
"Hehehe, you don't have to apologize at all. Asara turned his head slightly, a sly glint in his eyes, and then the mermaid wizard quickly stepped off the ship.
The Glory Sky Rider's ship finally took to the skies of the kingdom of Buffy, returning to Genaha.
