Above the Seven Towers

"Different? Huh ... I don't think there is much difference between humans and Hai people." Huang Zheng said while walking, "You see, except for your mermaids, most other Hai people have a human form, not at all. Creatures like fish and shrimp are better said to be humans with some more characteristics of marine life. Even if you are a mermaid, the upper body is almost the same as humans.

I myself have a point of view. The relationship between your sea clan and humans is much closer than any other sea creatures. Like elves, dwarves, and orcs, they are all humanoids. I think maybe at some time in the ancient times, there was an evolutionary disagreement between humans and the Hai family, which led us to this difference, but these days with the Hai family, I found that the essence of everyone is still the same. "

"What is the essence?"

"Probably emotion. Love, hate, fear, sympathy, gratitude."

"So what?" Mencius puzzled.

"That means we can understand each other. Right? You can't communicate these with an animal, such as a fish. But our humanoid races can understand each other's feelings." Huang Zheng shrugged, "If so, why are we Can't they live on the same island? "

Mencius was speechless and the other party's words made sense. What he could think of was nothing more than some rules of the Hai clan. But these ancient rules are hard to refute the truth of this strong human being.

The two men walked up the hillside for less than ten minutes, and came to a large wooden house. Mencius looked in from the window. There seemed to be many people in it.

Huang Zheng pushed the door in and Mencius saw his daughter at first glance.

"Trina!" He gave her a careful look, without being hurt.

"Father." Trina nodded to her father without saying much. At this time, beside her, there were several human men and women. Mencius glanced away and found that everyone except the middle-aged man put a lot of pressure on him.

Huang Zheng introduced Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, Mao Kai and Jerez to him. Except for Jerez's presence as a consultant, everyone else was a senior member of the China Tower Committee. Mencius was surprised by the large number of opposing magicians, wondering if her daughter would easily lose.

"I didn't expect the strength of China Tower to be so powerful." Mencius said.

Trina said: "The masters of the Tower of China are far more than that. There are also several masters and many seniors who have not appeared here."

After the people were seated, Mencius asked, "My Excellency Xiao Chen, I have heard the information you want. In addition, I have prepared a considerable amount of gold. Give it to you, will I be able to take me away?" What about the daughter and her men? "

auzw.com Xiao Chen said: "Of course, I speak and count, but Huang Zheng should have told you that some sea warriors have been hired by us, maybe some sea warriors would like to Healing here, they have never been our captives, if they are not willing to go with you, it is their own choice. "

"Okay." Mencius nodded in agreement, he didn't have time to take care of that much.

"Now, please tell me something about the ghost ship." Xiao Chen said.

"The ghost ship is a terrible legend that has been handed down by the Hai people for thousands of years, but for the Hai people of most eras, it is still a relatively distant thing, because the ghost ship does not appear every year, maybe every ten years. It will take years or even decades to hear stories about it killing pirates and turning them into ghosts. "Mencius said.

"But ... the situation has changed in the last four or five years," Mencius said. "In the past few years, there will be ghost ships attacking pirates every year. From these two years, not only pirates, but our sea people. Warships will also be attacked. This year alone, three such incidents have occurred, and one of our family ’s ships has also been attacked. At first, everyone felt that the illusory thing suddenly became a serious problem. "

"Do you know who is the owner of the ghost ship?" Luo Ling asked.

"We guessed that it should be a necromancer, I don't know the specific name, but someone fled back after seeing her. It is said to be a human woman. The magic is very powerful. There were other great families on the ship that had lost the magician before, but they still failed. It's in her hands. So, everyone calls her Queen of Undead. "Mencius said.

"So, now that the ghost ship has become a big problem that threatens the Hai people?"

Mencius nodded: "That's no longer a ghost ship, but a ghost fleet. The ships that were captured by the ghost queen before became members of that fleet, and the dead sea clan also became The warrior on the ghost ship. In the past, the ghost ship was operated by one ship, but now it has become a dozen ships to act together. Even the entire fleet of small tribes have been wiped out by them. It is now located in the southern part of the Pearl Islands Those tribes are very worried, maybe one day their fleet will become the prey of ghost ships. "

Xiao Chen suddenly said: "Have you described the ghost ship in your past records? I mean, what kind of ship is that?"

"It is said that what the ghost ship eats will become what it is. Its appearance is not static. Every time there are witness records, the appearance of the ship is not the same." Mencius said.

"Interestingly, I'm guessing that the original ghost ship owner would only come to rob a new ship as his car when the old ship is about to hold it? Because some of the looted ships are older, maybe There have been problems in the past few years. Some are relatively new and can last for decades. The so-called ghost ship attack on pirates is just that the queen of ghosts is looking for a place to live for herself. "Xiao Chen asked.

"This ... we never thought about it like this." Mencius thought about it, "but what you said is also very likely, because the time the boat can be used is right. However, we still don't know Why now the ghost queen has changed her habit and will continue to expand her fleet and plunder everywhere. Is she going to fight with our sea clan? "

"Maybe ... it's the relationship between the **** of nature and soon waking up?" Luo Ling guessed. "Adriana feels that she must do something. Although she can do very limited things, she is still not ready to sit still. The ghost fleet is the weapon she prepared. "

"Who is Adriana? How can it be related to the God of Nature?" Mencius asked.

"We guess she is the ghost queen." Xiao Chen explained, "her other identity is a saint in the Seven Towers era."
