Mermaid Lord

"Dear mother, I think this is the last time you will see my letter. Just last night, our beloved mermaid lord uttered an angry roar. Today, I will sacrifice to the mermaid lord as a sacred sacrifice." My lord, please don't be sad, this is the glory of our Gadi family, please be proud of me.

Your dear son Salth Eddie

July 370th, 24th year of Zhenghe Calendar"

I conjured up a miniature firebird, stuffed the letter into its mouth, and watched it fly out of the narrow, dark vent.The vent is the only way to connect to the outside world. The smart Nords designed it to be the size of a fist. If it weren't for the air purifier installed here, I would be driven crazy by the smell of decay, blood and large doses of disinfectants.

This is a completely enclosed room—no, maybe it's more appropriate to call it a beautiful "cell". There are enough furniture for living, tables, chairs, beds, and even clothes hangers, but except for the occasional air vents. There was no light to be seen, not even a single candle for lighting.This is like a cold black iron box, dull and suffocating are its adjectives, and death is the destination of the people in this room.

"Hey Sals, you wrote to your mother again. Let me see what you wrote, 'This is the last time you see my letter'... Oh poor boy, you know she never gets it. "

I shot a flame at the person in front of me, but the person avoided it easily.The flame hit the wall made of steel, but unfortunately, it did not cause any damage to the wall, and it was extinguished without even splashing sparks.

"March, if you read my mind again, I will make you a perfect mummy."

"Hey buddy, it's just a joke, you know, it's so boring to be locked up here." My "cellmate" - March shrugged exaggeratedly, and although he had a smile on his face, he mentioned "here" At the time, his smile was visibly stiff, and his eyes were filled with despair.He stepped on the knocked-down stool, sat down with his legs apart, and said with a dry smile, "It's really sad. The supernatural powers bestowed on us by the ancestors of the Gadi clan are actually despised by you, the same clan."

I squinted at this tall and burly man. If the development of the brain is inversely proportional to the body, then I can guarantee that March must be mentally handicapped: "Please change your words, we are the Gosai tribe. 'Gadi' is just an invader Insulting words imposed on our race."

"Oh Sals, you hypocrite!" March yelled, slapping his forehead. "You just used the slur of 'Gadiz' in your letter!"

I lowered my head and folded the letter paper neatly in half, evened out the folds, and then drew a horizontal line on the wall with a quill. I counted the number of horizontal lines on the wall, and there were already thirty, which meant that we had already stayed in this unpopular place. 30 days, a whole month.

Loneliness, pain, is my mood now. "That's just a lie." I stroked the round body pendant with a crack on my neck, which was left to me by my mother. It was like the sea, with a beautiful blue color. Rely on it to suppress painful thoughts.

"Gadi" is the weakest worm on our island, and even the ants can discriminate against it with pride.But my mother kept making me use this creature-named slur, bowing to the empire-building invaders.I don't understand this very much, but I will not rebel against my mother for it.

"Wake up, buddy, since the Nords invaded our island of Cizea, established the Ida Empire, and enslaved us Gadi... Oh, I mean our great Gosai, the symbol of power 'Gosai' has been A name that has become taboo, rewritten by them, forgotten by our people. Look at us now..."

Ma Qi raised his finger full of battle scars, pointed at this airtight "prison", and shook his head with a sigh. This cell was stained with the blood of our people. They once fought for freedom in this room. Resist—Of course, they failed, the laser gun pierced through their bodies, and the body parts were thrown to feed the merman.

March rested his hands on his forehead, which made me unable to see his expression clearly, but his voice sounded so sad that I even heard a choke: "We don't even have the right to freedom and equality, we just Slaves are just to fill the sacrifices of the mermaid race, you can't expect such a race that has no human rights and is gradually declining to remember its former glory and dignity."

"However," I retorted coldly, "our race can be weak and extinct, but it must never be forgotten by our own people."

Ma Qi touched the slave brand on his hand and sighed: "Maybe you are right, but there is nothing we can do."

I fell silent with him.

The Gosai tribe became the masters of the island of Cizea because of their innate abilities. However, 300 years ago, after our ancestors accepted the homeless Nords, the control of the island of Cizea was brutally taken away.The Nords mastered technology with money and brains, and established the Ada Empire. Afterwards, they abandoned their conscience, used the high technology that we could not compete with to enslave us, branded us with shame, and sacrificed us to the mermaid race.

It seemed unbelievable that the mighty Nords would bow their noble heads to the mermaid, but the facts proved that when this brutal half-human creature was angry, the tsunami it set off could engulf the entire Caizea Island.

Our three races are like a pyramid. The Gosai race is at the bottom of the pyramid, while the Mermaid race is at the top of the pyramid. We can only look up to them.

My clansmen and I are the sacrificial offerings of "Luck".We ate the most delicious meals in our lives in this "cell", but it was like a rich dinner before the prisoners went to the execution ground, wonderful and desperate.

I tried to burn the heavy steel door with high flames, but the automatic sprinkler system put out my fire.

The sad thing is that the people of the tribe have suffered from the Nord ideology, and they think that my actions are a shame to our race, because being a sacrifice is a great sacrifice, and it is the glory of the whole tribe. Anyone who tries to resist is a traitor.

Fortunately, because of my previous atrocities, I was placed alone in another "cell" with March, who mainly asked to live with me.

I feel sad for the ignorance of my people, but I firmly believe that freedom will not come too late. I clenched my fists and tried to make my excited voice sound calmer: "Even if the fire of the race is about to go out, I will fight to the end for a glimmer of light. "

March's eyes widened: "My God, Sals, you're crazy, don't you think... oh my god, someone is coming!" Just as I was born to manipulate flames, March also has powerful abilities : A spiritual force that can perceive the psychological state of surrounding creatures.

His face was very ugly: "God, the empire has sent their most proud sharp-armored soldiers to escort us!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud mechanical sound, and the cold steel door slowly opened to both sides. The light that pierced my eyes forced me to squint my eyes.

I vaguely saw several sharp-armored sharp soldiers walking in. The sound of their hard armor rubbing against the steel plate sounded disgusting, like sharpening a sharp knife.

My wrists felt a chill, and the automatic mechanical locks bound my wrists, restricting the freedom of my hands, and the laser hole in front of me pointed coldly at my heart.

The sharp armored soldier raised his chin coldly, and ordered us in a contemptuous tone: "Go!"

Look at their arrogant attitude, it's completely different from when they sent us in.I remember at that time, they also told us in beautiful language: "Please forgive our rudeness, all this is for you."

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard, for you?These are all excuses for cowards to protect themselves, but the people of the tribe believe this hypocritical lie.I think the clansmen should really keep their eyes open to see how ugly they are now when they tear off their disguise and reveal their faces!

I felt a fire burning in my chest, and my fingertips trembled uncontrollably. I couldn't wait to let them taste the feeling of being burned to death.

However, a voice in my head stopped me: Sals, have you forgotten what your mother told you?Before you ensure your safety, don't try to resist the sharp armored soldiers. They wear the highest-tech armor in the entire empire and use the most advanced cold and heat weapons. They are a combination of strength and technology, and they are the strongest mechanized humanoid weapons in the empire.

Yes, mother, you are right, I will obey your orders, and I will never do anything until I am safe.

I let go of my clenched fists, trying to relax my expression, and the sharp armored soldiers covered my eyes with blindfolds.

The darkness enveloped me, I twisted my shoulders vigorously, pushed away the hand on my shoulders, and followed the direction of the sound.

I heard chaotic footsteps nearby, which seemed to be my companions. They seemed to be highly enthusiastic about sacrifices, and their footsteps sounded so brisk and excited.

I feel very cold, maybe I can't save them, but I will do my best to save this race.

I took a deep breath, let go of my ears as much as possible, "touched" the road leading to death with my senses, and wrote down the direction.

...23 steps, turn right, there is wind...350 steps, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, I hear the sound of water...430 seven steps, go up the transport ladder...[-] seven steps, I feel a faint light, and heard the sound of the engine running.

If I'm not mistaken, we have already arrived near the tarmac, and we are about to be escorted to the transport ship, sent to the open sea airspace, and dropped into the sea to feed the merman.

【God, my dear friend, even though I'm sorry for reading your mind again, I have to stop you, do you know what you're doing?You are trying to resist, trying to escape from the eyes of sharp armored soldiers.You know that this is completely impossible, as long as you make large movements, the electric current released from the mechanical lock will paralyze your actions. 】

March's voice came into my mind through mental power, I froze for a moment and responded to him.

[I know it's risky, but I have to do it.The ignorant clansmen need to be liberated, and only those who walk out of here alive are qualified to tell them the truth. 】

【Everything you do will be in vain, they will not believe you - you are doing well in the "prison" and look so happy. 】

[Trust me, I will find a way.It's time, March, it's a pleasure to get along with you...]

【etc!Salz, tell me, what are you going to do?Maybe it's crazy, but I'm convinced by you.You are a man of thought and action, what you lack is not strength, but an assistant. 】

I was silent for a while and decided to believe him.

【Okay, I will tell you the plan without reservation, I hope you are worthy of my trust. 】

[Of course, my dear friend. 】

When the plan was finished, the sound of the engine sounded at close range, and the huge roar shook my head a little.

I was being pushed up the boarding steps, when I tripped myself on purpose and fell...

One, two, three, four, five.

Five seconds later, the electric current flowed through my body, I trembled, my body twitched instinctively, my knee lost strength and fell forward in an instant.

Madge was right, the electrical current from the mechanical lock does paralyze me, and I'm damned struggling to move a finger right now.

This means that I will have to cut off the power to the mechanical lock within five seconds, otherwise my plan will fail.

"Damn it, can't you walk!"

An angry shout came from behind me, and then my completely paralyzed body was lifted up, and a minute later, I was thrown onto the cold steel floor.The blindfold was roughly torn off, and when I adjusted to the light, I saw myself lying in the huge ship cabin, and the clansmen were looking at me worriedly.

Fortunately, our people have not lost their conscience due to ideological aggression, they are still so friendly and kind.

"Go away!"

I was hit by a brute force on my abdomen, and my body followed the force irresistibly, and hit the ship wall.The dropship just lifted off, and the buzzing and pain pounded my body, and it sucked.

"Hey, he can't move anymore, why are you kicking him! Please apologize for your brutality!"

This voice is March.I opened my eyes with difficulty, and saw him arguing loudly with the sharp armored soldiers who kicked me.

The scene is a bit chaotic.

I know that sharp-armored soldiers cannot use thermal weapons on the transport ship lifted off, otherwise the lethality will cause the transport ship to fall into the sea.And Ma Qi also cleverly kept small movements, and on the premise of not touching the mechanical lock, scolded the violent sharp-armored soldiers.

All attention was drawn to me, no one noticed me, and I moved quite freely.

I moved my fingers, and my consciousness was gradually returning.

I gave March a wink and began our escape plan.
