East China Sea, Zizhu Island.

Aretha and Arthur sat around the bamboo hut without saying a word, and Shino and Nolando, who were seriously injured next to them, were still recovering from their injuries.

The giant Ryan dragged Ignaz with his own life, Hygiel exploded his poisonous clone to block the pursuers, and used the darkness set up by Chiro to confuse the circle, and they escaped from the island of Fury Waves.

Hairgil was separated from them when he came out of Fury Waves, and he didn't explain to anyone else whether he would go back to the Seacliff Dragon's Lair or go somewhere else.

With a long sigh, Nolando opened his eyes, "We owe a great debt to the giants!"

"Father, Arthur and I will definitely repay this favor of the giant clan. Are you alright?"

"Thanks to Arthur's elven essence, except for the dark wounds in the meridians, it will take some time to recuperate, and the rest is no longer in the way. ”

Aretha glanced at her father, but she looked like she was speechless.

Nolando guessed her daughter's thoughts, "You must already know something about it if you can find it, so if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

"Am I really a member of the Sea Demon Clan?" Aretha finally asked the question that had been weighing on her mind.

Nolando nodded lightly, "Strictly speaking, we all have the blood of the Sea Demon Clan. ”

Although she had already guessed the result, Aretha still couldn't accept it in her heart, "Why? How can we be Sea Clansmen?"

Nolando was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "Although it is unacceptable, we are indeed the descendants of the Sea Clan, not only us, but the Norman King Frans and many nobles in the kingdom and their descendants are all descendants of the Sea Clan. ”

Aretha looked at her father eagerly, waiting for him to continue.

"This matter is too long ago, when the intelligent races on the continent joined forces to set up a seal, sealing the entire Azure Crystal Palace, and all the Sea Clan people were trapped at the bottom of the dark sea and could not leave. The Sea Clan was naturally unwilling to be sealed, and in the endless years, generations of Sea Clan people tried all kinds of methods to break the seal. There is no absolutely perfect seal in this world, not to mention that the power of the seal is gradually weakening after tens of thousands of years. About two thousand years ago, the Sea Clan finally made a breakthrough, and although there was no way to break the seal, the concentration of strength was able to force a small hole in the seal in a very short time, enough for several Sea Clan people to escape from the seal. ”

So the Sea Clan made a plan, every once in a while, let a few people out, and send them to the mainland to find a way to completely break the seal from the outside world. However, the Sea Tribesmen sent out in the first few hundred years all failed, because their appearance and physical characteristics were too different from the intelligent races on the continent, and once exposed, they would be regarded as aliens and attracted the siege of the powerhouses of all races on the continent. The Sea Clan later changed its strategy, no longer risking direct appearance on the mainland, but capturing Terran fishermen living by the sea, and some of the offspring born after combining them have a chance that they will not have the characteristics of the Sea Clan. Later, the Sea Clan gradually discovered a rule, among the six major tribes of the Sea Clan, the Sea King Clan and the Sea Demon Ji Clan are the least different from the human race in terms of appearance and physical characteristics, and the probability of giving birth to offspring without the characteristics of the Sea Clan is also the largest. Therefore, most of the blood of the Sea Clan in the Norman Kingdom now comes from these two tribes, especially the Sea King Clan, and Frans is the blood of the Sea King Clan. ”

"Are there different tribes of the Sea Clan?" Arthur suddenly interjected.

Nolando smiled, "Of course, haven't you noticed that many Sea Clan warriors have very different appearances? The Sea Clan now has six major tribes, namely the Sea King Clan, the Sea Demon Queen, the Sea Shark, the Sea Siren, the Sea Armor, and the Sea Beast Clan. Although the six tribes in the sea also have their own interests and secret struggles, they are not like the human race and the orcs, and the tribes are constantly fighting, and several major tribes are under the leadership of the sea king. ”

"Since we're the blood of the Sea Demon Queen, why did they arrest us?" Aretha asked.

Nolando sighed again, "This question has a much longer history. You should have heard the story of the battle between the ancient gods and demons, where the seven wise clans led by the Protoss joined forces to seal the demons. But don't you have any questions? Why are all the races against the demons, and why are there no races that are on the side of the demons?"

"Why?" said Arthur and Joan almost at the same time. Without a Nolando reminder, they really didn't realize the problem before.

"Legend has it that the Sea Clan is the dependent race of the Demon Race, and the Seven Clans joined forces to seal the Azure Crystal Palace before the sealing action against the Demon Clan, and then they did it against the Demon Clan. The demons lost reinforcements and were finally defeated in the face of the siege of the Seven Clans. Therefore, the mission of the Sea Clan is not only to break the seal of the Azure Crystal Palace, but also to destroy the seal of the continent guarded by the stars and moons, and release the demon clan that was sealed tens of thousands of years ago. ”

Everyone present took a deep breath of cold air, they didn't expect that the real purpose of the Sea Clan's invasion of the continent was actually for the Demon Clan!

Nolando continued, "As for the Sea Clan, it is because we are traitors in the eyes of the Sea Clan. The descendants of the Sea Clan have multiplied in the Norman Kingdom from generation to generation, although we still have the blood of the Sea Clan, but we are in love with the peaceful life on the land of human beings, and we are unwilling to fight to free the demons, and the return of the demons will inevitably mean endless cruel wars. Some of the Terran descendants of the Sea Clan wanted to break free from the Sea Clan's control, some failed and were killed or imprisoned, while others succeeded, such as my father. I didn't tell you this history because I didn't want you to carry any burden and let you live like a normal person, the only thing I didn't expect was that someone broke the seal of the Sea Clan, and the Sea Clan's army attacked the mainland. ”

The secret history of the Sea Clan told by Nolando was so shocking that everyone fell silent for a while.

Aretha gently shook her father's hand, "What are you going to do next?"

"Now that we have identified ourselves as Terrans, we naturally have to side with Terrans in this war, and then I have to find a way to find the people who are guarded by the stars and moons. ”

"What are you looking for them? Now it's only the Terrans who are being attacked, and they won't care. If they wanted to intervene in this war, they would have done so long ago. "Through Salene Arthur, she now knows too well how the Star Moon Guardian works.

"No, it's a different story now. The reason why they arrested me has something to do with one of their secrets. ”

"A secret?" everyone's eyes were on Nolando.

"Only 600,000 Sea Clan troops have landed, and the remaining large number of Sea Clan troops are trying to open the heart of the ocean. ”

"What is Heart of the Ocean?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.

Aretha volunteered to explain to her father: "Legend has it that in the center of the ocean there is an undersea volcano called 'Shalt', which is called the heart of the ocean. ”

"Why did the Sea Clan go to the Heart of the Ocean?" Arthur was still puzzled.

"Because the Sea Clan intends to open a passage through the Demon Sealed Land there!" Nolando gave a shocking answer.
