Five days later.

The Piper blew its whistle and set off from the shipyard, sailing straight to the depths of the glacier.Passing through the intersection of the third and fourth waterways, it will enter the deepest part of the Land of Eternal Night.

Numerous warships are following it, and the goal is very unified: to find the sirens.

After the bridge collapsed and the large bone lair dissipated, the girl and the gang of mercenaries completely disappeared in the depths of the ice sea.Now is the time to find them out. In the past few days, Fang Qing took various hunters and sprinkled poison in different sea areas of the Land of Eternal Night to disperse the skeleton mermaids.

After that, the hunters searched separately, and finally found a little trace of them——

Following the remaining mental power, they basically confirmed that the sirens disappeared near the Griffin Ice Field.

There is the frozen castle where Long Shiyu and Shen Chaomu have been, but it is farther north than the castle.

It was also powerful enough to break through the ice after Piper's emergency repairs.

After another full day of sailing and searching, Uther sneezed violently when he returned to the boat: "Oh my old man, this weather really hurts my waist."

Shen Chaomu flicked the soot on the bow: "What did you see in the crystal ball?"

Uther then took out the crystal ball again, and the mental power inside was surging like a cloud.

He watched intently: "Let me see... Just like in the morning, we are getting closer and closer to the singing girl. I can feel that she has sung in this sea area before, and her voice is still charming... Achoe Oh my God, it's colder than a witch's toes, old man, I'm going back to my room now."

Uther walked away, sneezing.

On the combat ship guarding the icebreaker, the hunters are taking their shifts.Shen Chaomu also went back to the room and saw Long Shiyu playing games on his stomach.

After three seconds, the sound of Happy Beans going bankrupt came.

Shen Chaomu hung up his jacket: "Why did you lose again? I remember that you have a very good card back, don't you?"

"It's just that the two of them are too cunning," Long Shiyu said in a low voice, "I want to fight every time."

Shen Chaomu leaned over and glanced at his terminal. Every time the record showed that Long Shiyu was the landlord, it always showed "super double".

Shen Chaomu: "...it's strange that you don't go bankrupt quickly."

Long Shiyu snorted twice: "Do I have a bedtime story today?"

"No."

Long Shiyu was very disappointed, and obediently lifted up his clothes to check the wound on Shen Chaomu's abdomen.

This matter has become a necessary process these days.

He was not happy at first, but the rogue princess forcibly took off his clothes a few times, which directly frightened him to pick up his tail, so now he is very conscious every day.

After turning off the lights at night, Shen Chaomu suddenly said, "Have you ever seen a siren before?"

"No, I just heard a little legend."

Shen Chaomu felt a little puzzled: "Then why, the skeleton mermaid seemed to be targeting you that day."

Although this suspicion is not obvious, it still keeps growing in his heart.

"Is there?" Long Shiyu curled up guiltily with his tail under the quilt.

He didn't want Shen Chaomu to know about the throne, just as he didn't want Shen Chaomu to know about the princess - judging from the latter's experience, Shen Chaomu would definitely become very angry.

So he forcibly changed the subject: "However, I also went to a sea of ​​ice a long time ago."

"Where is the sea of ​​ice?"

"I don't really remember." Long Shiyu said, "In short, I had a little...conflict with a strange beast inside."

"Did you steal other people's food again?"

"I only robbed a little bit, how can the matter of the evil dragon be called robbing?"

Shen Chaomu: "..."

"But," Long Shiyu continued, "we didn't fight at first, we were just quarreling."

"How do you understand its language?"

"It's understandable after a while. It's very aggressive. At first I said Ho Ho Ho Ho, and it said Ka Ka, and I said Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, and it also said Ho Ho Ho Ho, and then we started fighting."

Shen Chaomu: "...Your conversation is still somewhat abstract. I don't understand it at all." He suddenly realized something wrong, "Wait, why are you yelling?"

"Why don't I yell."

"Don't you just whine?"

Long Shiyu: "..."

Long Shiyu said, "Of course I won't yell at you."

Shen Chaomu looked at him suspiciously, he couldn't imagine what Long Shiyu's roar would be like, his mind was full of a four-legged lizard man chirping.

Shen Chaomu said again: "However, after this matter is over, we must have a good chat about Shen Zhai and your injury." He paused, "I have asked several elders in the family these days, None of them have heard of this matter. And according to what you said, he is still an unkillable person."

The people Shen Chaomu asked were all people he could trust, and he specifically asked them not to ask the spirit bodies in the trial hall for the time being.

He didn't like those people much.

The immortal soul, in a sense, is very similar to Shen Zhai, but he pins the hopes of the whole family on him.

Long Shiyu replied: "I don't know how he can survive until now. And..."

He thought of the scars on Shen Zhai's body that resembled the splitting marks of praying mantises.

Because he didn't want to get too involved between the two, he hadn't told the princess about this before, and now he got entangled again.

Shen Chaomu asked: "What are you thinking?"

Long Shiyu flicked the tip of his tail hesitantly.

Shen Chaomu said again: "I know that you may not believe me in some things. If possible, I would certainly give you this time, but the current situation may be more serious. His attitude towards dragons is very tough. So it's about your safety, and maybe even my family."

"...I have always believed in you." Long Shiyu whispered.

He hesitated for a moment, his tail stretched out from his quilt, sneaked into Shen Chaomu's quilt, wrapped around one ankle and rubbed it.

Then he made up his mind: "I saw the twin traces on Shen Zhai before."

He described the scar again, and said that he had met Shen Zhai with different strengths.

After listening to Shen Chaomu, he thought about it: "...I have never heard that human beings can fully acquire the abilities of alien beasts—assuming this is true, it actually sounds closer to the theory of the Church of Blood Worship. The purpose of injecting blood is to obtain the powerful power of the alien beast. If Shen Zhai attacked the settlement in the sky because of this, it is possible...but the twin traces are usually found on the split body."

"So I still don't quite understand." Long Shiyu said.

Shen Chaomu said: "However, from the theory of twins in the sky, the two twins are exactly the same, from appearance to thinking. Even if you kill the body, it is normal to see Shen Zhai again later. of."

"Maybe." Long Shiyu rubbed his ankle again with his tail, "But I told you this, not to make you fight him. He is a very strong man, the one we met on the bridge, It's not that I know his real strength. And no matter what... he is also a member of your family."

"I know what you said. But, I will judge with my eyes." Shen Chaomu said.

He has always been such a person, and it is because he will always judge by himself that Long Shiyu stays by his side.

"Okay." Long Shiyu said, "You were injured because of him..."

"I said it was a minor injury, and it's all healed now. His corrosive mental power is useless to me, and it was counteracted by my mental power. But when did you see him with scars, and also saw him? So many times. Is he chasing you?"

"We have met many times." Long Shiyu saw that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he could only tell the truth, "Chasing and killing? That's right. He is really good or bad."

This simple adjective somehow made Shen Chaomu laugh.

After he laughed for a while, he said, "Then why did Shen Zhai send you roses?"

"Rose?" Long Shiyu was puzzled for two seconds.

"When the power cabin of the Yermak was blown up that day, I saw an origami rose in your room. Was it given to you by him, or someone else?"

From Long Shiyu's attitude, Shen Chaomu was sure that Shen Zhai was not the princess he thought - even now, it seemed that she was a bit out of touch.

The scene of Long Shiyu cutting off Shen Zhai's right hand with his long tail on the bridge is still vivid in my memory.

"Oh that, of course it's someone else." Long Shiyu looked sincere.

This time he forgot that his tail was not well hidden under the quilt, but hooked around Shen Chaomu's ankle.

Now with a guilty conscience, the tail is curled up again.

Then in the next second he was caught by the dragon horn: "Ah, don't shake me, don't shake me"

Shen Chaomu shook his hand for a while before letting go: "It's not a good dragon who lies."

Long Shiyu said: "I was originally an evil dragon." And it is very possible to become an excellent evil dragon.

This time Shen Chaomu was stunned.

Then I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Long Shiyu was dissatisfied: "What's so funny about this, I'm super fierce."

"Yeah, you're super fierce." Shen Chaomu rubbed his head, "It's the dragon's bedtime now. Wait until tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, and we'll be able to find the sirens."

He paused: "Anyway, I'm glad you told me this. You still keep a lot of secrets from me, don't you?"

"No." Long Shiyu retracted his tail this time, and wanted to say something, but got a goodnight kiss.

The goodnight kiss blocked all his justifications.

The man smiled: "I'll wait for you to tell me yourself."

……

The water on the snow was boiling, and the lid of the pot rattled.

Karen was talking to some skeleton mermaids on the distant seashore.

Only Augusta stood by the pot, and just as he wanted to get up to call Karen, he heard footsteps coming from beside him.

A man in an old-fashioned suit appeared at some point, holding a thorny rose in his hand.

"Boss, you are here." Augusta was stunned for a moment.

"Why can't I come?" Shen Zhai said casually, and the rose twirled in his hand, "After all, it's the end of the touching love story. I have to dress up to attend the curtain call of every story."

Augusta was eager to bring up another topic: "That day on the bridge, why didn't you make a full shot? If, if you shot, the icebreaker would definitely not be able to hit the bridge."

Shen Zhai sat beside the fire without haste: "I just made an assessment, with the strength of this little princess, there is no way to kill Akasamo and Shen Chaomu, so there is no need to continue to devote energy. "

"I haven't even tried it, how would I know the result?"

"Unlike you, I'm an experienced hunter." Shen Zhai still looked nonchalant, with a little force on his slender fingers, the thorns of the rose pricked blood, he seemed to feel no pain at all, "I'm sorry The judgment of the situation is clearer than yours, and this time my goal has been achieved."

"You mean those praying mantises?"

Shen Zhai smiled: "Augusta, why are you so anxious. Isn't it just a strange beast? You and I both hate strange beasts so much, why worry." He patted Augusta's Shoulder, "Whether it is human or alien beast, I will use it, but I am more reasonable for human beings. After all, the blood of alien races is cold."

Augusta froze for a moment, as if realizing that her tone was wrong: "I was just thinking, why not try to help her."

This time, Shen Di lowered his eyes slightly, with impatience in his eyes: "When you were a street gangster, the two of us already knew each other. After all, who would pay a high price to hire a brat besides me? Who will pay your mother a large amount of medical expenses, and then transfer her to the best hospital in the alliance? Or, now that your mentality of being jealous of alien beasts has changed, I misunderstood you?"

This time Augusta got stuck for a long time before saying, "No, no, I'm definitely on the same front as you."

Shen Zhai didn't look at him, but just threw him a small wooden box.

Augusta opened the box and saw three needles inside, with the blood of the strange beast flowing inside.

He had been injecting the blood of the alien animal for a long time, and he recognized it at a glance. It was a high-end product that had been purified many times.

If it is that kind of turbid blood, the short-term enhancement after injection is very limited, and the side effects are particularly severe, ranging from discomfort and vomiting to hormone disorders and immune system interference in severe cases.

But the high-end goods are completely different, even he has never seen this level a few times.

Shen Zhai stood up and said coldly: "This is a reward for you, don't ask me such stupid questions in the future."

He hummed a ditty again, and walked towards a certain direction of the pale snow field, his figure was quickly engulfed by the wind and snow.

Augusta held the wooden box in a daze for a while, before being awakened by the rattling sound of the pot lid.

He yelled at Karen, "The water is boiling"

Half a minute later, the girl whose face was reddish from the cold ran back with her skirt in her hand, hurriedly removed the pot, and poured boiling water into the teapot.

The fragrant tea leaves are washed away, and the smell of roses spreads.

She handed a teacup to Augusta: "Mr. Augusta, be careful."

Augusta took the teacup.

He is not a person who is good at words, and it took a long time before he said: "They... are likely to come soon."

Karen was still concentrating on making tea: "It should be, after all, they are all very powerful people."

Augusta hesitated again: "...Aren't you afraid?"

"A little bit." Karen put the pot in the snow, picked up a teacup as well, and blew on it. "Maybe, I can't fulfill my promise with Mr. Murphy."

She smiled again, and picked up the collection of poems she put aside: "But without you and Mr. Shen Zhai, I might not be able to get to where I am today."

Augusta looked away uncomfortably, and subconsciously clenched the wooden box: "It's all to blame... Ah... Dragon King, he is so cunning that he got mixed up with the Hunter Association, his grandma, I will definitely be in public Expose his identity and let everyone take a good look at his face."

Karen nodded: "Come on, Mr. Augusta."

Then there was only the whir of the fire, and above them was the sky of eternal night.

Karen turned another page of the poetry collection, and suddenly said, "Did I tell you about my second encounter with Mr. Murphy?"

"No."

"It was also the night of the full moon, and we made an appointment to meet. Then Mr. Murphy saw me for the first time and said, Miss Heckna, your hair looks like seaweed."

Augusta choked for a moment: "There is no one who describes hair like this. I always scold like this when I scold people."

Karen bent her eyes and smiled: "So I said it too. I said, Mr. Murphy, this doesn't sound like a compliment."

She continued: "But Mr. Murphy said, no, it's a compliment. Miss Heckna, have you ever seen the deep sea under the moonlight? I was fascinated by it the first time I saw it, especially It's the soft seaweed that floats in there and hears them whispering to me as I swim past them. They told me the first line of poetry I came here."

The girl blinked and replied: "Well, if you stick to that, I'll be glad you're complimenting me."

Then the poet magically took out a small box.

When the box was opened, there was a navy blue necklace. It didn't look particularly expensive, but it was the best he could afford.

Karen turned another page of the poetry collection: "I was so happy at the time that I gave him the necklace I was wearing."

Augusta said, "Is that what, the so-called Beien holy object?"

"Well. At that time, it was just an expensive necklace, not a sacred object. After Mr. Murphy passed away, I accidentally lost it, and it was finally taken back by the current royal family."

"You've lost a lot in this exchange." Augusta snorted, "If you want me to tell you, why are you rushing to like someone? Damn it, maybe you're at a disadvantage."

"No loss. Because I tricked Mr. Murphy home in the end." Karen closed the poetry collection and stood up, "Okay, this is my story. No one else can remember it, but refer to Maybe, you will think of me someday in the future."

She straightened her skirt and smiled at him again: "Although Augusta said so, you will definitely meet good people."

For some reason, this sentence hit somewhere in Augusta's heart.

He moved his lips, but couldn't speak.

However, the next second, he saw a huge figure appearing on the distant ice sea.

It was the heavy icebreaker Piper.

Augusta's pupils dilated slightly, and just as he was about to say something to Karen, he realized that the girl had already reached the end of the glacier.

That direction was toward the Piper.

She had no intention of continuing to hide.

Seeing that he was about to chase after him, Karen lifted her white skirt, bowed her knees and bowed gracefully: "Goodbye, Mr. Augusta. Nice to meet you."

She fell lightly into the water, into the embrace of the skeleton mermaid and the waves, no matter how much Augusta stretched her hand forward, she couldn't even touch the sunny golden hair.
