Mermaid Lord
Chapter 43: Meeting Again
Fate played a trick on me, and I escaped from the disgusting place of the research institute, and fell into the hands of the mermaid again.
Yes, I was placed under house arrest again, and the place of house arrest was Shi's home, and Shi was arranged in a better place for healing.
Fortunately, my treatment as a prisoner is not bad. Medicines, drinking water, and food are all available. Except that there is no TV or books to entertain me, my current state is similar to being in a hospital.
To be honest, I can refute what Adrian said to me in the end with reasonable and well-founded statements. For example, when I got the memory, Abbott had already died in an accident, or for example, I just saw someone else by accident. I don't know Abbott at all, etc., but in the end I chose to remain silent.
I was well aware of my role in the affair—a somewhat sympathetic but apathetic bystander to Abbott's plight.Although I did have the idea to save Abbot, I didn't have the practical power to put it into action. If I cut off the power system at that time, or prevented them from performing the operation in the past, there was a slight chance to save Abbot. Bot comes to the rescue.
But in fact, I did nothing to maximize my interests. I just watched Abbot die.
I didn't know Abbott at the time, so it was understandable that I didn't rescue him, but when I thought about it carefully, if the person lying on the operating table at that time was a human being, would I still refuse to save him?
The answer is obviously no.
I just resisted the mermaid race psychologically and classified this race as an enemy, but I never thought that Abbott at that time should be the enemy of the enemy, that is, a friend.
In short, Adrian is right. In a way, I am also a murderer.
Therefore, on the premise that I have many ways to escape, I chose to stay, not because I was willing to accept their questioning and investigation, but because of a heavy sense of guilt. Of course, there is another reason——
I looked at the bullet wounds on my left leg and right shoulder and frowned.
It's very strange. After I used the ability just now, the two wounds opened. The pain is like a spreading virus, infinitely spreading to the surrounding uninjured areas. What's even more strange is that the pain is accompanied by numbness. As long as the pain erodes All parts lost consciousness.
There were several wounds on my body that were deeper than this, but they were all gradually healed under the action of Shi's saliva, but it happened that these two bullet wounds tended to worsen.
What is going on?
Before I could find the answer, Shi appeared.
With the guard's permission, he swam in.Even though the candlelight was dim, I could still catch his red eyes, obviously crying a lot before coming.
"Oh little guy, what's the matter with you?" I stretched out my right hand that was still conscious to him, and pulled him to sit beside me. Please forgive my poor physical condition, otherwise I would definitely give him a warm hug.
"Wow, wow." Shi lay on my chest aggrievedly, hugging me, tears fell down uncontrollably, I could feel him crying that he couldn't protect me.
"It's okay little guy, I'm fine, look, here's medicine and plenty of food... Oh, don't be like this," he cried louder, I didn't know what to do, "I'm really fine, It's not your fault, you protected me just now, didn't you? Speaking of which, are you healthy? "
"Muda." Shi shook his head, as if to reassure me, he even patted his chest to prove how strong he is.
I couldn't help laughing, he always gave me happiness.
"Moda?" Shi suddenly grabbed a strand of my hair, tilted his head curiously, and stared at it.
I turned my head and saw that the color of this strand of hair was not the same as my current brown hair, only a little bit of brown remained at the end of the hair, and most of the rest was wine red.
Oh, it wasn't him pointing it out that I almost forgot my original hair color.
Yes, my hair is a natural burgundy, but the color is too conspicuous to be recognized, I dyed it brown after joining the "Falcon", but after being caught by the Nords, I There is no chance to re-dye, and now as the hair grows, the original hair color is naturally exposed.
I explained the hair color to Shi, and he clapped his hands happily after hearing this, hugged me and rubbed my ears with his ear fins, expressing that he liked the hair color very much.
I hugged this sticky little guy weakly, and smiled again. For the first time, I felt that wine red was such a beautiful color.
In the past, I always thought that my hair color was a burden, but now I have changed my opinion. This color is liked and deeply loved by people, which shows that it is needed by others, like a passionate and hot flame, even if it is so red Dazzling and red, they also have their existence value, and some people go through fire and water for them.
Shi stuffed two things into my arms, one was a white sea lion doll, and the other was a big milk bottle.
White sea lion doll?
I was very surprised, could this be the doll I gave Shi when I said goodbye to him?
Seeing Shi Xin nod his head happily, I felt as if something was choking my throat, and I didn't know how to express my feelings in words.This is the birthday gift I bought for Shi Shi when he was born in the market for a month. That day he was so happy that he screamed and hugged the doll tightly, even when he was eating, even when I wanted to hug him. He won't give it for a while.
I still remember Shi’s smile at that time, just like when I got the mermaid doll from my mother, but unfortunately, the mermaid doll was lost when my father and I were wandering away from home, so when I saw that Shi still kept it When it comes to this doll, the mood is quite complicated.
I failed to protect the good stuff, so Shi did it for me. Look, the doll is old, but the color is still very dark. Although the thread is still missing in some places, the cotton is exposed, but it is stitched crookedly from the part that fell off. Judging by the thread, Shi likes it very much and takes good care of it.
"Thank you little guy for protecting your birthday present."
Shi happily accepted my touch, put the doll into my arms, and babbled and gestured. It took me a while to understand. He said that he hoped the doll could accompany me and relieve my loneliness of being under house arrest.
I don't know how to express my inner emotion. I know how important this doll is to him. Maybe when he was thrown away by me and drifted in the sea, it was because of the company of this doll that he survived. I, but gave up the doll that he refused to let go before, how many people can have this kind of affection
I smiled and returned the doll to him: "This is something very important to you, you must protect it, understand? No one can give it to you, including me."
"Moda?" He asked me puzzled.
"You let me treat the doll as if it were me, and treat it well, do you hear me clearly?" Just take it as fulfilling my wish of not being able to protect the mermaid doll.
Shi obediently patted the doll's head, hugged it tightly with a smirk, then pointed to the baby bottle, asking me to drink the water in it.
I looked at the bottle strangely: "Bottle?"
Shi nodded excitedly, and lifted the bottle so that the nipple was closer to my mouth.
"Wait," I stopped him, "Why are you giving me a bottle? I'm an adult, not a baby."
"Yeah!" Shi blinked, took the bottle, pulled out the cap, and started sucking on the nipple. Under my dumbfounded expression, he took a few sips and handed it to me, with a look of excitement teaching me how to drink. Looks like using a baby bottle.
I thought of an incredible possibility: "You drink from a bottle all the time?"
"Wada!" Shi patted the bottle and flicked his tail excitedly.
I couldn't help but rub my forehead: "Didn't anyone tell you that baby bottles are for babies? You've grown up and don't need this stuff anymore."
"Hahaha, it's not that no one told him, but that he refused to use water glasses and other drinking tools." An old voice cut in, it was Thomason.
After passing the inspection of the guards, he swam in with the medicine box, and Shi helped him to my side as before.
There was a smile in Thomason's eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of sympathy in his eyes: "We once asked him to change the drinking utensils, but he said that his mother used a milk bottle to feed him water, and the milk bottle had the smell of his mother, so he insisted. Use a bottle."
I really have a headache about this little guy's education. I put down the bottle and tried to explain to him in words that the little guy can understand. Who knows, he stared round as if he had a premonition of what I was going to do, and puffed his cheeks angrily. He didn't let go of the bottle, no matter how many reasons I said, he still insisted on his own way.
"It seems that he has become stubborn and doesn't even listen to his mother." Thomason laughed jokingly.
"Forget it, let's educate him when he grows up, by the way, Thomason," I lifted the quilt to reveal the wound on my left leg, "Please help me to see what is going on with the wound..."
I gasped, and within a few minutes of not paying attention, pus began to form in the wound, and a disgusting yellow viscous liquid flowed down the side of my leg.
"What's going on?" Thomason's face suddenly became very serious, and he immediately took out a clean cotton swab to help me deal with the pus, then applied alcohol to disinfect it, and prescribed good medicine, "If I remember correctly, the little guy has used saliva to help me treat the pus. You have treated the wound."
"It may be that the ability was used just now, which caused the wound to open."
"This is impossible," Thomason denied, "The highly effective healing power of mermaid saliva can allow you to heal your wounds in a short period of time. Besides, you have been in a coma for three days, and these three days are enough for your wounds to heal. The degree of cracking. Wait, let me check it, and by the way, please comfort the little guy, he looks like he is about to cry."
With Shi's support, I sat up and tried to help him wipe away the tears he shed because he was worried about me, and asked, "Does he always cry so much?"
"Oh, of course not," Thomason said. "To be honest, I hardly saw him cry before you came here. When he was bullied by a big mermaid, he was injured all over his body and never shed a single tear. I also cried when I scolded you, but after you came, you became sentimental. But this is a good thing, it shows that he regards you as a real relative. "
I touched Shi's head, yes, he regards me as a relative, and I also regard him as a relative, we are interdependent.
"Your wound is not normal, I always feel like it's..."
Thomason's words were interrupted. With a sharp scream, a mermaid hurried in, and the anxious face was clearly reflected by the candlelight.
He grabbed Thomason's arm anxiously, was about to take Thomason away, said something hastily, and looked at me several times.
Thomason frowned, looked back at me, and explained: "The brother in the clan was attacked by the red scale mermaid again while patrolling. He asked me to heal the injured brother as soon as possible, and said he would take you with him .”
I frowned, what are you taking me, a patient, to do at this time?
There is always a sense of foreboding.
"Your family is not peaceful recently, what happened?" Before heading to the palace, I asked Thomason.
Thomason's face suddenly became very serious. He glanced at Shi and replied: "In fact, after we were invaded by the Nords a few months ago, the tribe suffered heavy casualties, which led to a decline in the economy and a lag in production. This gave other races the opportunity to plunder our food and bully our people. In order to protect the people, the leader went out to negotiate with the leaders of other races some time ago, but according to the leader, the result of the negotiation was not ideal. The other races claimed that we Hand over food to them on time every month, otherwise they will lead the clansmen to invade our territory."
I was a little shocked by this. I didn't expect that not only human beings have racial discrimination and wars, but even mermaids are no exception.
This world where the weak and the strong prey on the strong is really terrible. Companions of the same species kill each other. Each race not only faces the provocation of its peers, but also faces the threat of the enemy.
"The deep-sea mermaid is the weakest race. It is inferior to the red-scaled mermaid in terms of speed, and it cannot be compared with the vile mermaid in terms of attack power. Therefore, we have no advantage in snatching food. Although Adrian is quite Excellent leader, but the innate weakness of the deep-sea mermaid is destined to lead us to reverse the trend of being bullied. You see, even the Nords bully us... If it is not because we mermaids have an advantage over humans in terms of strength, I will I can't imagine what the consequences of the war of aggression will be on that day." Thomason covered his face, as if suppressing painful emotions, and his voice became extremely old, "How we hope that one day we can usher in peace, without race Discrimination and war, not only with other races, but also with human beings."
"Please forgive me for asking, if you want to get along with human beings," I hesitated, and decided to express my thoughts, "Why do you still participate in the sacrificial activities? Your behavior is harming human beings."
"Sacrifice?" Thomason looked confused, "Forgive me, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Isn't it?" I asked back, "Every once in a while, the mermaid lord will ask humans to give him sacrifices as food, and then he will call all races of mermaids to Cizea Island to snatch the human sacrifices, And the first race to give the sacrifice to the mermaid lord will receive supreme glory."
Thomason froze for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh my god, who told you this? Please be sure to teach the person who told you a lesson. This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Look at us, we treat you This human being is not hostile, and even welcomes you in a friendly way, I think the sacrificial activities you mentioned are just us..."
"Thomasson, here you come!"
Just when I was about to hear the truth, Adrian's eager voice came, and at the same time he came over to help Thomason go in. Judging from his hasty attitude, we could tell that the matter was serious.
Shi once told me that the last time the Nords invaded, the few and experienced healers in the family were killed, and only Thomason was left, so Thomason was the only hope for the family.
I didn't continue to ask questions, and followed Adrian's footsteps into the palace.
Unexpectedly, since I stepped into the palace, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became dignified. The mermaids who were busy swimming just now turned their heads tacitly and looked at me with strange eyes as if they had a heart.
"Moda!" Shi seemed to sense their unkind eyes, and stood in front of me, staring at the mermaids warily.
This strange phenomenon, we didn't understand what was going on until Adrian told us something.
"This is from the Red Scale Mermaid who attacked us," Adrian threw a piece of paper in front of me, his face tensed, "They said that the lord is looking for this person, as long as we get this person Hand them over, and they will stop all attacks, otherwise they will forcibly break into our habitat island and snatch people away. Sarsvan hopes to be dazed, plundering, plundering, eating and drinking."
I frowned, and a person's head was drawn on the paper. Unfortunately, this person was me.
The mermaid lord is looking for me, even using force, why?
"If I say, I don't know your lord at all, or even met him once, will you believe me?"
"You know your words are not convincing at all!" Adrian pointed at me with his scepter, "When exchanging humans, we all saw that the lord was chasing and killing a human, and if I'm not mistaken, that human is you. If you don’t know each other, why did the lord chase you down!”
I looked straight into his angry eyes and said, "I, like you, don't understand this question. Forget it, I know you don't trust me, so are you going to hand me over?"
"This involves the safety of the clansmen, and of course I will hand you over according to common sense, but," Adrian said, "you are the benefactor of our clansman, and I will not make any decisions without the consent of the clansmen."
"You surprised me," I was a little surprised, I thought he would hand me over without hesitation, "Although I don't agree with some of your practices, in a way, I have to admit that you are a A good leader who thinks of his people."
"Should I be happy for your approval?" Adrian didn't show any joy. "In fact, I really want to hand you over immediately to ensure the safety of the people. We don't have enough combat power to deal with other race."
"Then what if I say, I agree with you handing me over?"
"Are you serious?" Adrian looked surprised, "Need I remind you, is your opponent a mermaid lord?"
"Of course I'm serious." I hugged Shi who was so excited to stop me, comforted him softly, and continued, "I know I'm taking a risk, but this is the best result for both parties, isn't it? "
"What are you planning?"
"This is my personal problem. I don't need to tell you. Of course, you can regard my voluntary behavior as a sense of guilt for Abbott."
"I don't think you will have that kind of guilt, your eyes are full of deception from beginning to end." Adrian said displeased.
"Whatever you think of me, I just ask you if you want to hand me over."
Adrian sneered: "Of course, you are willing, and I have no reason to refuse."
"Then we have reached a consensus to exchange me for the peace of your people, but please allow me to say one more thing, this means that your people owe me another favor."
Adrian's face didn't change at all, obviously he accepted this statement naturally: "I don't deny it. Then the cooperation is established."
"No da!" At this moment, Shi broke free from my embrace, waved his hands excitedly and shook his head to stop me.
"Shi, be obedient, this is a beneficial result for both parties." I touched his head, trying to comfort him with words he could accept, "I'm not going to die, I have my own plan, you stay here and wait How am I? I promise I'll be back safe and sound."
"No ta no da!" Shi seemed even more excited, his tear-filled eyes were full of determination, and he held my arm tightly with astonishing strength.
"Shi, listen, I'm only telling you this matter, I hope you can understand me." I leaned into Shi's ear and whispered, "You know, I'm looking for my mother's whereabouts, and the mermaid lord is very worried. It is possible to know where my mother is."
I was stunned.
Yes, this discovery was quite a shock, and even I was horrified when I thought about the possibility.
Remember when I saw the appearance of Artelius and the mermaid lord, did I have a sense of familiarity?Ben once told me that after rebirth, Artelius still retains the physical signs of the original Artelius in some aspects, such as appearance.
In fact, after comparison, it was found that the similarity rate between the mermaid lord and Arteius reached 80%. Except for the eyes and nose, the mermaid lord is almost a replica of Arteius.Since I only saw the mermaid lord and Arteius once, I didn't immediately remember the similarities between the two. I didn't remember until I saw the mermaid lord again through the memory of the test subject through the connection test.
So I made a bold guess, could the mermaid lord be the reborn Artelius, my mother was by his side, and he chased and killed me when we first met because he recognized me Relationship with mother?Of course, this is just a hypothesis, there is no real evidence, and it cannot accurately explain why the mermaid lord who recognized me chased me down.
But no matter what, it gave me a glimmer of hope to find my mother, and I couldn't let go of this great opportunity.
Shi obviously didn't agree with my opinion, he hugged my waist tightly and cried loudly, he didn't agree with me to take risks, and even asked to beg with me, after I explained and refused many times, he cried even louder.
His crying was like a loudspeaker, spreading around. I suddenly felt a dull pain in my head, which was so painful that it was about to burst. I have tasted this kind of feeling before and know that it is the sound wave released.It was terrible, not only me, but other mermaids were also affected by the sound waves, and their expressions were extremely painful.
"Shi, please stop," I hugged Shi tightly, "you will hurt us."
Shi stopped crying and looked at us with teary eyes, sobbing and grabbing my clothes, he still refused to let go.
"Shi, I think you understand the feeling of losing your mother better than I do." I said with a straight face, "And it's about the safety of your race, you can't be so selfish."
Shi's expression looked very hurt, he seemed to be holding back some emotion, bit his lips tightly, hugged me, and left suddenly.
Looking at his back, I felt very uncomfortable. After all, I promised not to abandon him, but now I want to leave him to take risks.However, this is the best result.
"Adrien, I have two conditions." I said without giving Adrian a chance to speak, "First, after I leave, send someone to watch Shi and prohibit him from leaving here." I know Shi's behavior How strong is the motivation? When he transforms into a mermaid, I dare say that no one here can stop him, but he must not be allowed to come to me.
After Adrian agreed, I looked at the tattered underwear I was wearing a few days ago and said, "Second, please prepare a set of suitable clothing and self-defense weapons for me."
Base layer, cropped jacket, slacks, mid-calf boots, all dressed up.The three silver needles are hidden in the hair, the mini knife is hidden in the inner pocket of the jacket, the wound is wrapped with a bandage, and the equipment is complete.
OK, let's go.
I sat on the bamboo raft and was led by Adrian and his men to the transfer point with the red scale mermaid.
Before departure, Thomason handed me something with a serious expression on his face: "Son, please forgive me for not being able to help you. Regarding your wound, I guess it may be infected with an infectious virus, but due to too much time In a hurry, I can’t make a conclusion easily. So please put away this tube of stimulant. When you are in an emergency, inject it into your skin. It can restore your physical strength in a short period of time, and the pain and numbness will disappear , but after the effect of the medicine wears off, it will have serious side effects on the body, so I will only give you one tube, and I hope you don’t use it as a last resort.”
After thanking him, I took the life-saving straw and put it in my pocket for safekeeping.
When we arrived at the handover location, Adrian negotiated with the representative of the Red Scale Mermaid, and finally reached a condition that I would be exchanged in exchange for the Red Scale Mermaid’s written promise not to harass the Deep Sea Mermaid. After that, I was forced to lock the Raised his hands, and the Red Scale Mermaid came to their territory.
I was brought to a rather huge sea building. Compared to the palace of the deep-sea mermaid, this building seemed to be showing off its value. The night pearl on the top of the object is the size of a head.
The building is open, with several male mermaid sculptures with their hands on the ceiling as doorposts. On the slide leading to the building, there is also a statue of Sea God carved. The difference is that this Sea God looks more majestic and fierce.
This is the palace of the mermaid lord Mystique.
Regarding the mermaid lord Mystik, when people mention him, they will always say one word: mysterious.
Yes, just like his synonym, his name is also named after "mystery".
No one knows who his parents are and where he was born. He suddenly broke into people's attention. After the shortest and cruelest fight in history, he won the glory of the mermaid lord and created a weapon that symbolizes the mermaid. The scepter of the lord's right, used violent means to win over all the mermaid races.No one knows when he became the mermaid lord. Some say it was ten years ago, some say it was decades ago. It seems that he existed before people realized it.
When people talk about him, there is another word: moody.It is said that sometimes when he is angry, he will transfer his anger to humans, causing a small-scale tsunami, but when he is happy, he will send humans food and gifts from the deep sea.
During his tenure, it was the time when the sacrificial activities were most frequent, but relatively, it was a time when humans and mermaids got along relatively peacefully.
As someone who is about to face this weird mermaid, I don't know what expression to use when I see him. Even Adrian kindly reminded me to be careful when talking to Mystique. His temper is not ordinary violent.
No matter what, we have come to this point, so we can only bite the bullet.
Before I met Mystik, I was still thinking about how to talk him into words, asking about my mother, but who knew that when he saw me, he immediately threw the two-meter-long fish tail at me.
I jumped up reflexively, but the wound on my right leg suddenly felt like a tearing pain, and my body suddenly fell, and at this moment, the wide fish tail was hitting me——
hell!I immediately shot flames towards the ground, and used the recoil to rush to the sky, luckily avoiding the fish's tail.
Fortunately, Mystik did not continue to attack, otherwise I would be in a hard fight based on my current state.
With the heavy sound of the scepter hitting the ground, the red fish tail retracted after drawing an arc.
I am in a very bad state now. I feel warm liquid flowing from the wound on my left leg. It is obvious that the wound is split open and blood is flowing out. The pain and numbness are stronger than before, and I have completely lost feeling in my left thigh.
At this moment, Mystique suddenly laughed wildly: "Sars Eddie, Sals Eddie, I finally found you, I have been waiting for this day for a long time." The next second, he suddenly It became ferocious, "Tell me, where is your mother Renata Eddie!"
I froze.
I came here hoping to get news of my mother's whereabouts from Mystik, but now it seems that things are obviously backfired.
Of course I wouldn't be so stupid as to tell him the truth, I frowned and asked, "Why do you want to know my mother's whereabouts?"
"Why?" Mystique paused for a few seconds, twitching his facial nerves and showing a forced smile, "Of course it's because I miss her and want to see her."
"Why do you want to see her?"
"You don't have the right to ask me!" Mystique suddenly changed his face. This capricious attitude is really like what people say, with a weird personality. "I order you, tell me the whereabouts of your mother!"
"I'm not a mermaid, you have no right to order me." I calmly faced his questioning, and looked around at the mermaid guards who were eager to attack me, "Of course, if you use violence, then I will Repay you in the same way, do you want to taste my fist?"
In fact, what I said was completely pretentious. It is impossible for me to escape safely from here in my current physical condition, but my deterrence worked.
Mystik put away his domineering attitude, and showed a kind smile: "You know who I am, and you know my relationship with your mother, and now I am separated from your mother, and I need her. So Please tell me where she is."
"Unfortunately," I was surprised that Mystique would use honorifics, but I would not tell him the truth because of this, "I don't know who you are, nor do I know your relationship with my mother. You are only meeting for the second time."
"How could you not know who I am!" Mystique suddenly became angry, "I am Artelius!"
I was stunned, not because I was shocked by his identity, but because of his violent reaction.If he was really Artelius, why would he express his identity so excitedly.
"Who is Artelius?" I pretended I didn't know anything, and told him what to say.
"You don't know?" He opened his eyes in shock, "You don't know, didn't Ben Laiz tell you!"
I was surprised again that he mentioned Ben.
"Sorry, I still don't know what you said, who is Ben Laiz?"
"You're lying! You've been in the institute for so long, and you must know who Ben Laiz is. Without his help, it's impossible for you to escape from the institute, just like 18 years ago... that's enough," said the key At that time, Mystique suddenly raged, "Tell me, where is Renata Eddie!"
What does this help, what did it do 18 years ago, what does it mean?Artelius' words seemed to hide some secret, and I was eager to know the truth.
"I don't know what you said, I'm a bit confused, please tell me the details."
"You don't need to know anything," Mystik obviously lost his patience, "you just need to tell me where Renata is!"
"Before I know what happened, I don't think I have the obligation to tell you the whereabouts of my mother."
"Are you threatening me?" Mystik's face became more ferocious. He held the armrest of the throne tightly with both hands, leaned down, moved his face to me, and stared at me like an ant.His body is so huge that the shadow of his face can almost completely cover me.
"I just want to make a deal with you. If you can convince me with the information you know, I will consider telling you the whereabouts of my mother. Of course, the premise is that you will not hurt my mother. If you are full of murderous intent like this , I will never tell you... Oh, please don't get angry," I said calmly against his anger, "I think I have to remind you that I am the only one who knows the whereabouts of my mother." See Mysti Ke looks nervous, obviously he has been looking for his mother, but to no avail, so he pinned his hopes on me.Of course, I don't know the whereabouts of my mother, I'm just talking.
Mystik's heavy breath sprayed on my face, he was obviously trying to restrain his anger, at this moment, he suddenly grabbed the pendant on my chest, and said sharply: "This pendant... where did this pendant come from! Did Renata give it to you!"
I was taken aback, I never mentioned the pendant to anyone, and no one knew its origin, why did Mystik know about it?In fact, the pendant was given to me by my father one night after my mother was separated from us two years ago. At that time, my father said that it was my birthday present that my mother intended to give me, but because of that incident, we were forced to find it after we moved. It's gone, and he didn't find it until recently, so he handed the pendant to me to keep close to me.
Before Shi fell out of the pendant, I naively thought that it was a simple birthday present, but now it seems that it is obviously not that simple.
"I'm not obligated to tell you."
I tried to pull back the pendant, but Mystique refused to let go, staring at the pendant, suddenly, he laughed wildly: "The pendant is cracked, cracked... Great, hurry up, tell me Me, where is the mermaid in the pendant, where is it!"
What a lunatic!I pursed my lips tightly, and shot a flame at Mystik's hand, trying to make him let go. Who knew that he could resist my high-temperature flame, and even let his skin get blistered.
He even knew that there was a mermaid in the pendant, who is he, is it really Artelius?
no, he is not.The memory of Artelius told me that Artelius was a very simple child, and he would never be a lunatic with a distorted personality. Compared with the similar-looking Mystik, in some respects, Shi's personality is more like Al's. Thereus.
Wait, Shi fell out of the pendant my mother gave me, and Mystik also knows about Shi's existence. Could it be that Shi is related to my mother, Mystic, and maybe even Artelius?
"Tell me, where is Renata and this mermaid!"
"Let go." I grabbed the pendant with a cold face, but Mystik pulled it with even greater strength, as if trying to tear the pendant off, "I tell you, let go!"
I suddenly erupted a wave of high-temperature flames. According to my calculations, Mystik should have been shaken away by me for a few meters. However, to my surprise, Mystique was only pushed away by a few centimeters from the upper body, and the lower body was not at all. did not move
Yes, I was placed under house arrest again, and the place of house arrest was Shi's home, and Shi was arranged in a better place for healing.
Fortunately, my treatment as a prisoner is not bad. Medicines, drinking water, and food are all available. Except that there is no TV or books to entertain me, my current state is similar to being in a hospital.
To be honest, I can refute what Adrian said to me in the end with reasonable and well-founded statements. For example, when I got the memory, Abbott had already died in an accident, or for example, I just saw someone else by accident. I don't know Abbott at all, etc., but in the end I chose to remain silent.
I was well aware of my role in the affair—a somewhat sympathetic but apathetic bystander to Abbott's plight.Although I did have the idea to save Abbot, I didn't have the practical power to put it into action. If I cut off the power system at that time, or prevented them from performing the operation in the past, there was a slight chance to save Abbot. Bot comes to the rescue.
But in fact, I did nothing to maximize my interests. I just watched Abbot die.
I didn't know Abbott at the time, so it was understandable that I didn't rescue him, but when I thought about it carefully, if the person lying on the operating table at that time was a human being, would I still refuse to save him?
The answer is obviously no.
I just resisted the mermaid race psychologically and classified this race as an enemy, but I never thought that Abbott at that time should be the enemy of the enemy, that is, a friend.
In short, Adrian is right. In a way, I am also a murderer.
Therefore, on the premise that I have many ways to escape, I chose to stay, not because I was willing to accept their questioning and investigation, but because of a heavy sense of guilt. Of course, there is another reason——
I looked at the bullet wounds on my left leg and right shoulder and frowned.
It's very strange. After I used the ability just now, the two wounds opened. The pain is like a spreading virus, infinitely spreading to the surrounding uninjured areas. What's even more strange is that the pain is accompanied by numbness. As long as the pain erodes All parts lost consciousness.
There were several wounds on my body that were deeper than this, but they were all gradually healed under the action of Shi's saliva, but it happened that these two bullet wounds tended to worsen.
What is going on?
Before I could find the answer, Shi appeared.
With the guard's permission, he swam in.Even though the candlelight was dim, I could still catch his red eyes, obviously crying a lot before coming.
"Oh little guy, what's the matter with you?" I stretched out my right hand that was still conscious to him, and pulled him to sit beside me. Please forgive my poor physical condition, otherwise I would definitely give him a warm hug.
"Wow, wow." Shi lay on my chest aggrievedly, hugging me, tears fell down uncontrollably, I could feel him crying that he couldn't protect me.
"It's okay little guy, I'm fine, look, here's medicine and plenty of food... Oh, don't be like this," he cried louder, I didn't know what to do, "I'm really fine, It's not your fault, you protected me just now, didn't you? Speaking of which, are you healthy? "
"Muda." Shi shook his head, as if to reassure me, he even patted his chest to prove how strong he is.
I couldn't help laughing, he always gave me happiness.
"Moda?" Shi suddenly grabbed a strand of my hair, tilted his head curiously, and stared at it.
I turned my head and saw that the color of this strand of hair was not the same as my current brown hair, only a little bit of brown remained at the end of the hair, and most of the rest was wine red.
Oh, it wasn't him pointing it out that I almost forgot my original hair color.
Yes, my hair is a natural burgundy, but the color is too conspicuous to be recognized, I dyed it brown after joining the "Falcon", but after being caught by the Nords, I There is no chance to re-dye, and now as the hair grows, the original hair color is naturally exposed.
I explained the hair color to Shi, and he clapped his hands happily after hearing this, hugged me and rubbed my ears with his ear fins, expressing that he liked the hair color very much.
I hugged this sticky little guy weakly, and smiled again. For the first time, I felt that wine red was such a beautiful color.
In the past, I always thought that my hair color was a burden, but now I have changed my opinion. This color is liked and deeply loved by people, which shows that it is needed by others, like a passionate and hot flame, even if it is so red Dazzling and red, they also have their existence value, and some people go through fire and water for them.
Shi stuffed two things into my arms, one was a white sea lion doll, and the other was a big milk bottle.
White sea lion doll?
I was very surprised, could this be the doll I gave Shi when I said goodbye to him?
Seeing Shi Xin nod his head happily, I felt as if something was choking my throat, and I didn't know how to express my feelings in words.This is the birthday gift I bought for Shi Shi when he was born in the market for a month. That day he was so happy that he screamed and hugged the doll tightly, even when he was eating, even when I wanted to hug him. He won't give it for a while.
I still remember Shi’s smile at that time, just like when I got the mermaid doll from my mother, but unfortunately, the mermaid doll was lost when my father and I were wandering away from home, so when I saw that Shi still kept it When it comes to this doll, the mood is quite complicated.
I failed to protect the good stuff, so Shi did it for me. Look, the doll is old, but the color is still very dark. Although the thread is still missing in some places, the cotton is exposed, but it is stitched crookedly from the part that fell off. Judging by the thread, Shi likes it very much and takes good care of it.
"Thank you little guy for protecting your birthday present."
Shi happily accepted my touch, put the doll into my arms, and babbled and gestured. It took me a while to understand. He said that he hoped the doll could accompany me and relieve my loneliness of being under house arrest.
I don't know how to express my inner emotion. I know how important this doll is to him. Maybe when he was thrown away by me and drifted in the sea, it was because of the company of this doll that he survived. I, but gave up the doll that he refused to let go before, how many people can have this kind of affection
I smiled and returned the doll to him: "This is something very important to you, you must protect it, understand? No one can give it to you, including me."
"Moda?" He asked me puzzled.
"You let me treat the doll as if it were me, and treat it well, do you hear me clearly?" Just take it as fulfilling my wish of not being able to protect the mermaid doll.
Shi obediently patted the doll's head, hugged it tightly with a smirk, then pointed to the baby bottle, asking me to drink the water in it.
I looked at the bottle strangely: "Bottle?"
Shi nodded excitedly, and lifted the bottle so that the nipple was closer to my mouth.
"Wait," I stopped him, "Why are you giving me a bottle? I'm an adult, not a baby."
"Yeah!" Shi blinked, took the bottle, pulled out the cap, and started sucking on the nipple. Under my dumbfounded expression, he took a few sips and handed it to me, with a look of excitement teaching me how to drink. Looks like using a baby bottle.
I thought of an incredible possibility: "You drink from a bottle all the time?"
"Wada!" Shi patted the bottle and flicked his tail excitedly.
I couldn't help but rub my forehead: "Didn't anyone tell you that baby bottles are for babies? You've grown up and don't need this stuff anymore."
"Hahaha, it's not that no one told him, but that he refused to use water glasses and other drinking tools." An old voice cut in, it was Thomason.
After passing the inspection of the guards, he swam in with the medicine box, and Shi helped him to my side as before.
There was a smile in Thomason's eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of sympathy in his eyes: "We once asked him to change the drinking utensils, but he said that his mother used a milk bottle to feed him water, and the milk bottle had the smell of his mother, so he insisted. Use a bottle."
I really have a headache about this little guy's education. I put down the bottle and tried to explain to him in words that the little guy can understand. Who knows, he stared round as if he had a premonition of what I was going to do, and puffed his cheeks angrily. He didn't let go of the bottle, no matter how many reasons I said, he still insisted on his own way.
"It seems that he has become stubborn and doesn't even listen to his mother." Thomason laughed jokingly.
"Forget it, let's educate him when he grows up, by the way, Thomason," I lifted the quilt to reveal the wound on my left leg, "Please help me to see what is going on with the wound..."
I gasped, and within a few minutes of not paying attention, pus began to form in the wound, and a disgusting yellow viscous liquid flowed down the side of my leg.
"What's going on?" Thomason's face suddenly became very serious, and he immediately took out a clean cotton swab to help me deal with the pus, then applied alcohol to disinfect it, and prescribed good medicine, "If I remember correctly, the little guy has used saliva to help me treat the pus. You have treated the wound."
"It may be that the ability was used just now, which caused the wound to open."
"This is impossible," Thomason denied, "The highly effective healing power of mermaid saliva can allow you to heal your wounds in a short period of time. Besides, you have been in a coma for three days, and these three days are enough for your wounds to heal. The degree of cracking. Wait, let me check it, and by the way, please comfort the little guy, he looks like he is about to cry."
With Shi's support, I sat up and tried to help him wipe away the tears he shed because he was worried about me, and asked, "Does he always cry so much?"
"Oh, of course not," Thomason said. "To be honest, I hardly saw him cry before you came here. When he was bullied by a big mermaid, he was injured all over his body and never shed a single tear. I also cried when I scolded you, but after you came, you became sentimental. But this is a good thing, it shows that he regards you as a real relative. "
I touched Shi's head, yes, he regards me as a relative, and I also regard him as a relative, we are interdependent.
"Your wound is not normal, I always feel like it's..."
Thomason's words were interrupted. With a sharp scream, a mermaid hurried in, and the anxious face was clearly reflected by the candlelight.
He grabbed Thomason's arm anxiously, was about to take Thomason away, said something hastily, and looked at me several times.
Thomason frowned, looked back at me, and explained: "The brother in the clan was attacked by the red scale mermaid again while patrolling. He asked me to heal the injured brother as soon as possible, and said he would take you with him .”
I frowned, what are you taking me, a patient, to do at this time?
There is always a sense of foreboding.
"Your family is not peaceful recently, what happened?" Before heading to the palace, I asked Thomason.
Thomason's face suddenly became very serious. He glanced at Shi and replied: "In fact, after we were invaded by the Nords a few months ago, the tribe suffered heavy casualties, which led to a decline in the economy and a lag in production. This gave other races the opportunity to plunder our food and bully our people. In order to protect the people, the leader went out to negotiate with the leaders of other races some time ago, but according to the leader, the result of the negotiation was not ideal. The other races claimed that we Hand over food to them on time every month, otherwise they will lead the clansmen to invade our territory."
I was a little shocked by this. I didn't expect that not only human beings have racial discrimination and wars, but even mermaids are no exception.
This world where the weak and the strong prey on the strong is really terrible. Companions of the same species kill each other. Each race not only faces the provocation of its peers, but also faces the threat of the enemy.
"The deep-sea mermaid is the weakest race. It is inferior to the red-scaled mermaid in terms of speed, and it cannot be compared with the vile mermaid in terms of attack power. Therefore, we have no advantage in snatching food. Although Adrian is quite Excellent leader, but the innate weakness of the deep-sea mermaid is destined to lead us to reverse the trend of being bullied. You see, even the Nords bully us... If it is not because we mermaids have an advantage over humans in terms of strength, I will I can't imagine what the consequences of the war of aggression will be on that day." Thomason covered his face, as if suppressing painful emotions, and his voice became extremely old, "How we hope that one day we can usher in peace, without race Discrimination and war, not only with other races, but also with human beings."
"Please forgive me for asking, if you want to get along with human beings," I hesitated, and decided to express my thoughts, "Why do you still participate in the sacrificial activities? Your behavior is harming human beings."
"Sacrifice?" Thomason looked confused, "Forgive me, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Isn't it?" I asked back, "Every once in a while, the mermaid lord will ask humans to give him sacrifices as food, and then he will call all races of mermaids to Cizea Island to snatch the human sacrifices, And the first race to give the sacrifice to the mermaid lord will receive supreme glory."
Thomason froze for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh my god, who told you this? Please be sure to teach the person who told you a lesson. This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Look at us, we treat you This human being is not hostile, and even welcomes you in a friendly way, I think the sacrificial activities you mentioned are just us..."
"Thomasson, here you come!"
Just when I was about to hear the truth, Adrian's eager voice came, and at the same time he came over to help Thomason go in. Judging from his hasty attitude, we could tell that the matter was serious.
Shi once told me that the last time the Nords invaded, the few and experienced healers in the family were killed, and only Thomason was left, so Thomason was the only hope for the family.
I didn't continue to ask questions, and followed Adrian's footsteps into the palace.
Unexpectedly, since I stepped into the palace, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became dignified. The mermaids who were busy swimming just now turned their heads tacitly and looked at me with strange eyes as if they had a heart.
"Moda!" Shi seemed to sense their unkind eyes, and stood in front of me, staring at the mermaids warily.
This strange phenomenon, we didn't understand what was going on until Adrian told us something.
"This is from the Red Scale Mermaid who attacked us," Adrian threw a piece of paper in front of me, his face tensed, "They said that the lord is looking for this person, as long as we get this person Hand them over, and they will stop all attacks, otherwise they will forcibly break into our habitat island and snatch people away. Sarsvan hopes to be dazed, plundering, plundering, eating and drinking."
I frowned, and a person's head was drawn on the paper. Unfortunately, this person was me.
The mermaid lord is looking for me, even using force, why?
"If I say, I don't know your lord at all, or even met him once, will you believe me?"
"You know your words are not convincing at all!" Adrian pointed at me with his scepter, "When exchanging humans, we all saw that the lord was chasing and killing a human, and if I'm not mistaken, that human is you. If you don’t know each other, why did the lord chase you down!”
I looked straight into his angry eyes and said, "I, like you, don't understand this question. Forget it, I know you don't trust me, so are you going to hand me over?"
"This involves the safety of the clansmen, and of course I will hand you over according to common sense, but," Adrian said, "you are the benefactor of our clansman, and I will not make any decisions without the consent of the clansmen."
"You surprised me," I was a little surprised, I thought he would hand me over without hesitation, "Although I don't agree with some of your practices, in a way, I have to admit that you are a A good leader who thinks of his people."
"Should I be happy for your approval?" Adrian didn't show any joy. "In fact, I really want to hand you over immediately to ensure the safety of the people. We don't have enough combat power to deal with other race."
"Then what if I say, I agree with you handing me over?"
"Are you serious?" Adrian looked surprised, "Need I remind you, is your opponent a mermaid lord?"
"Of course I'm serious." I hugged Shi who was so excited to stop me, comforted him softly, and continued, "I know I'm taking a risk, but this is the best result for both parties, isn't it? "
"What are you planning?"
"This is my personal problem. I don't need to tell you. Of course, you can regard my voluntary behavior as a sense of guilt for Abbott."
"I don't think you will have that kind of guilt, your eyes are full of deception from beginning to end." Adrian said displeased.
"Whatever you think of me, I just ask you if you want to hand me over."
Adrian sneered: "Of course, you are willing, and I have no reason to refuse."
"Then we have reached a consensus to exchange me for the peace of your people, but please allow me to say one more thing, this means that your people owe me another favor."
Adrian's face didn't change at all, obviously he accepted this statement naturally: "I don't deny it. Then the cooperation is established."
"No da!" At this moment, Shi broke free from my embrace, waved his hands excitedly and shook his head to stop me.
"Shi, be obedient, this is a beneficial result for both parties." I touched his head, trying to comfort him with words he could accept, "I'm not going to die, I have my own plan, you stay here and wait How am I? I promise I'll be back safe and sound."
"No ta no da!" Shi seemed even more excited, his tear-filled eyes were full of determination, and he held my arm tightly with astonishing strength.
"Shi, listen, I'm only telling you this matter, I hope you can understand me." I leaned into Shi's ear and whispered, "You know, I'm looking for my mother's whereabouts, and the mermaid lord is very worried. It is possible to know where my mother is."
I was stunned.
Yes, this discovery was quite a shock, and even I was horrified when I thought about the possibility.
Remember when I saw the appearance of Artelius and the mermaid lord, did I have a sense of familiarity?Ben once told me that after rebirth, Artelius still retains the physical signs of the original Artelius in some aspects, such as appearance.
In fact, after comparison, it was found that the similarity rate between the mermaid lord and Arteius reached 80%. Except for the eyes and nose, the mermaid lord is almost a replica of Arteius.Since I only saw the mermaid lord and Arteius once, I didn't immediately remember the similarities between the two. I didn't remember until I saw the mermaid lord again through the memory of the test subject through the connection test.
So I made a bold guess, could the mermaid lord be the reborn Artelius, my mother was by his side, and he chased and killed me when we first met because he recognized me Relationship with mother?Of course, this is just a hypothesis, there is no real evidence, and it cannot accurately explain why the mermaid lord who recognized me chased me down.
But no matter what, it gave me a glimmer of hope to find my mother, and I couldn't let go of this great opportunity.
Shi obviously didn't agree with my opinion, he hugged my waist tightly and cried loudly, he didn't agree with me to take risks, and even asked to beg with me, after I explained and refused many times, he cried even louder.
His crying was like a loudspeaker, spreading around. I suddenly felt a dull pain in my head, which was so painful that it was about to burst. I have tasted this kind of feeling before and know that it is the sound wave released.It was terrible, not only me, but other mermaids were also affected by the sound waves, and their expressions were extremely painful.
"Shi, please stop," I hugged Shi tightly, "you will hurt us."
Shi stopped crying and looked at us with teary eyes, sobbing and grabbing my clothes, he still refused to let go.
"Shi, I think you understand the feeling of losing your mother better than I do." I said with a straight face, "And it's about the safety of your race, you can't be so selfish."
Shi's expression looked very hurt, he seemed to be holding back some emotion, bit his lips tightly, hugged me, and left suddenly.
Looking at his back, I felt very uncomfortable. After all, I promised not to abandon him, but now I want to leave him to take risks.However, this is the best result.
"Adrien, I have two conditions." I said without giving Adrian a chance to speak, "First, after I leave, send someone to watch Shi and prohibit him from leaving here." I know Shi's behavior How strong is the motivation? When he transforms into a mermaid, I dare say that no one here can stop him, but he must not be allowed to come to me.
After Adrian agreed, I looked at the tattered underwear I was wearing a few days ago and said, "Second, please prepare a set of suitable clothing and self-defense weapons for me."
Base layer, cropped jacket, slacks, mid-calf boots, all dressed up.The three silver needles are hidden in the hair, the mini knife is hidden in the inner pocket of the jacket, the wound is wrapped with a bandage, and the equipment is complete.
OK, let's go.
I sat on the bamboo raft and was led by Adrian and his men to the transfer point with the red scale mermaid.
Before departure, Thomason handed me something with a serious expression on his face: "Son, please forgive me for not being able to help you. Regarding your wound, I guess it may be infected with an infectious virus, but due to too much time In a hurry, I can’t make a conclusion easily. So please put away this tube of stimulant. When you are in an emergency, inject it into your skin. It can restore your physical strength in a short period of time, and the pain and numbness will disappear , but after the effect of the medicine wears off, it will have serious side effects on the body, so I will only give you one tube, and I hope you don’t use it as a last resort.”
After thanking him, I took the life-saving straw and put it in my pocket for safekeeping.
When we arrived at the handover location, Adrian negotiated with the representative of the Red Scale Mermaid, and finally reached a condition that I would be exchanged in exchange for the Red Scale Mermaid’s written promise not to harass the Deep Sea Mermaid. After that, I was forced to lock the Raised his hands, and the Red Scale Mermaid came to their territory.
I was brought to a rather huge sea building. Compared to the palace of the deep-sea mermaid, this building seemed to be showing off its value. The night pearl on the top of the object is the size of a head.
The building is open, with several male mermaid sculptures with their hands on the ceiling as doorposts. On the slide leading to the building, there is also a statue of Sea God carved. The difference is that this Sea God looks more majestic and fierce.
This is the palace of the mermaid lord Mystique.
Regarding the mermaid lord Mystik, when people mention him, they will always say one word: mysterious.
Yes, just like his synonym, his name is also named after "mystery".
No one knows who his parents are and where he was born. He suddenly broke into people's attention. After the shortest and cruelest fight in history, he won the glory of the mermaid lord and created a weapon that symbolizes the mermaid. The scepter of the lord's right, used violent means to win over all the mermaid races.No one knows when he became the mermaid lord. Some say it was ten years ago, some say it was decades ago. It seems that he existed before people realized it.
When people talk about him, there is another word: moody.It is said that sometimes when he is angry, he will transfer his anger to humans, causing a small-scale tsunami, but when he is happy, he will send humans food and gifts from the deep sea.
During his tenure, it was the time when the sacrificial activities were most frequent, but relatively, it was a time when humans and mermaids got along relatively peacefully.
As someone who is about to face this weird mermaid, I don't know what expression to use when I see him. Even Adrian kindly reminded me to be careful when talking to Mystique. His temper is not ordinary violent.
No matter what, we have come to this point, so we can only bite the bullet.
Before I met Mystik, I was still thinking about how to talk him into words, asking about my mother, but who knew that when he saw me, he immediately threw the two-meter-long fish tail at me.
I jumped up reflexively, but the wound on my right leg suddenly felt like a tearing pain, and my body suddenly fell, and at this moment, the wide fish tail was hitting me——
hell!I immediately shot flames towards the ground, and used the recoil to rush to the sky, luckily avoiding the fish's tail.
Fortunately, Mystik did not continue to attack, otherwise I would be in a hard fight based on my current state.
With the heavy sound of the scepter hitting the ground, the red fish tail retracted after drawing an arc.
I am in a very bad state now. I feel warm liquid flowing from the wound on my left leg. It is obvious that the wound is split open and blood is flowing out. The pain and numbness are stronger than before, and I have completely lost feeling in my left thigh.
At this moment, Mystique suddenly laughed wildly: "Sars Eddie, Sals Eddie, I finally found you, I have been waiting for this day for a long time." The next second, he suddenly It became ferocious, "Tell me, where is your mother Renata Eddie!"
I froze.
I came here hoping to get news of my mother's whereabouts from Mystik, but now it seems that things are obviously backfired.
Of course I wouldn't be so stupid as to tell him the truth, I frowned and asked, "Why do you want to know my mother's whereabouts?"
"Why?" Mystique paused for a few seconds, twitching his facial nerves and showing a forced smile, "Of course it's because I miss her and want to see her."
"Why do you want to see her?"
"You don't have the right to ask me!" Mystique suddenly changed his face. This capricious attitude is really like what people say, with a weird personality. "I order you, tell me the whereabouts of your mother!"
"I'm not a mermaid, you have no right to order me." I calmly faced his questioning, and looked around at the mermaid guards who were eager to attack me, "Of course, if you use violence, then I will Repay you in the same way, do you want to taste my fist?"
In fact, what I said was completely pretentious. It is impossible for me to escape safely from here in my current physical condition, but my deterrence worked.
Mystik put away his domineering attitude, and showed a kind smile: "You know who I am, and you know my relationship with your mother, and now I am separated from your mother, and I need her. So Please tell me where she is."
"Unfortunately," I was surprised that Mystique would use honorifics, but I would not tell him the truth because of this, "I don't know who you are, nor do I know your relationship with my mother. You are only meeting for the second time."
"How could you not know who I am!" Mystique suddenly became angry, "I am Artelius!"
I was stunned, not because I was shocked by his identity, but because of his violent reaction.If he was really Artelius, why would he express his identity so excitedly.
"Who is Artelius?" I pretended I didn't know anything, and told him what to say.
"You don't know?" He opened his eyes in shock, "You don't know, didn't Ben Laiz tell you!"
I was surprised again that he mentioned Ben.
"Sorry, I still don't know what you said, who is Ben Laiz?"
"You're lying! You've been in the institute for so long, and you must know who Ben Laiz is. Without his help, it's impossible for you to escape from the institute, just like 18 years ago... that's enough," said the key At that time, Mystique suddenly raged, "Tell me, where is Renata Eddie!"
What does this help, what did it do 18 years ago, what does it mean?Artelius' words seemed to hide some secret, and I was eager to know the truth.
"I don't know what you said, I'm a bit confused, please tell me the details."
"You don't need to know anything," Mystik obviously lost his patience, "you just need to tell me where Renata is!"
"Before I know what happened, I don't think I have the obligation to tell you the whereabouts of my mother."
"Are you threatening me?" Mystik's face became more ferocious. He held the armrest of the throne tightly with both hands, leaned down, moved his face to me, and stared at me like an ant.His body is so huge that the shadow of his face can almost completely cover me.
"I just want to make a deal with you. If you can convince me with the information you know, I will consider telling you the whereabouts of my mother. Of course, the premise is that you will not hurt my mother. If you are full of murderous intent like this , I will never tell you... Oh, please don't get angry," I said calmly against his anger, "I think I have to remind you that I am the only one who knows the whereabouts of my mother." See Mysti Ke looks nervous, obviously he has been looking for his mother, but to no avail, so he pinned his hopes on me.Of course, I don't know the whereabouts of my mother, I'm just talking.
Mystik's heavy breath sprayed on my face, he was obviously trying to restrain his anger, at this moment, he suddenly grabbed the pendant on my chest, and said sharply: "This pendant... where did this pendant come from! Did Renata give it to you!"
I was taken aback, I never mentioned the pendant to anyone, and no one knew its origin, why did Mystik know about it?In fact, the pendant was given to me by my father one night after my mother was separated from us two years ago. At that time, my father said that it was my birthday present that my mother intended to give me, but because of that incident, we were forced to find it after we moved. It's gone, and he didn't find it until recently, so he handed the pendant to me to keep close to me.
Before Shi fell out of the pendant, I naively thought that it was a simple birthday present, but now it seems that it is obviously not that simple.
"I'm not obligated to tell you."
I tried to pull back the pendant, but Mystique refused to let go, staring at the pendant, suddenly, he laughed wildly: "The pendant is cracked, cracked... Great, hurry up, tell me Me, where is the mermaid in the pendant, where is it!"
What a lunatic!I pursed my lips tightly, and shot a flame at Mystik's hand, trying to make him let go. Who knew that he could resist my high-temperature flame, and even let his skin get blistered.
He even knew that there was a mermaid in the pendant, who is he, is it really Artelius?
no, he is not.The memory of Artelius told me that Artelius was a very simple child, and he would never be a lunatic with a distorted personality. Compared with the similar-looking Mystik, in some respects, Shi's personality is more like Al's. Thereus.
Wait, Shi fell out of the pendant my mother gave me, and Mystik also knows about Shi's existence. Could it be that Shi is related to my mother, Mystic, and maybe even Artelius?
"Tell me, where is Renata and this mermaid!"
"Let go." I grabbed the pendant with a cold face, but Mystik pulled it with even greater strength, as if trying to tear the pendant off, "I tell you, let go!"
I suddenly erupted a wave of high-temperature flames. According to my calculations, Mystik should have been shaken away by me for a few meters. However, to my surprise, Mystique was only pushed away by a few centimeters from the upper body, and the lower body was not at all. did not move
