blues paradox

Anthony is an ordinary old man, an ordinary sea monster who has been living on Mermaid Island. Different from the short life of human beings, demons almost have eternal life, as long as his magic power is deep enough, in other words, magic power The height of the body directly determines the length of a Mozu person's life.

Anthony is such an old man whose magical power is not too deep. He can almost foresee the end of his life, just like a falling meteor in the human world-this is the scene he has heard others say.There is no night in the Demon Realm, and there is no such short-lived and gorgeous things as meteors. Everything in the Demon Realm is almost a kind of static eternity, just like the unchanging sky and the ocean, that layer will never disappear In the daytime, time will not leave any trace here. Anthony knows that even if his life can continue for tens of millions of years, he will not see even the slightest change—this is the demon world he lives in.

Sometimes, he even hopes to go to the human world to have a look and feel the world full of variables.He believed that he would not be the first Mozu to have such an idea, let alone the last.

Anthony slowly used his magic power to levitate himself, and moved a little bit outside the door—this was really an extremely physical and magic-consuming job.

There is no way, Anthony is a sea monster, the upper body is human, the lower body is fish tail, there is no way to walk normally.On weekdays, Mermaid Island is covered by sea water, and sea monsters build their residences in the sea. They either hollow out beautiful and huge coral rocks or build houses with various rare pearls and scallops. These buildings are always It exudes a lustrous and beautiful light in the deep sea water, which caters to the gorgeous aesthetics of the sea monsters.

Anthony panted heavily and stopped on top of a coral clump. Without the buffer and lubrication of sea water, the rough lines on the surface of the coral clumps made his back hurt. He could feel the traces of life passing by quickly. Before Mermaid Island was wrapped in the salty sea water again, he knew that his remaining magical power could no longer sustain this dying life for a long time.

Maybe dying people always like to think wildly, Anthony suddenly thought of the soul, thought of human beings, thought of the afterlife... Once the demons die, their souls will shatter into ashes, and they will never go to the underworld for reincarnation, unlike human beings , and the afterlife. From a certain point of view, maybe human beings are the real eternal life.Anthony felt that he thought a lot, or he didn't think about anything. He lay there quietly, waiting for his own death.

"A demon who died in bed? To be honest, I haven't seen a demon who died normally like this for a long time... It's been so long that I have almost forgotten that not all demons can get eternal life... Sophie sighed with emotion, the four of them were hiding behind a coral clump not far away, and did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts and aura, but unfortunately the dying old siren had no energy left to detect them exists.

"I know you are sighing, but..." Mu Yu shrugged innocently, with some slight sarcasm in her tone, and said irrelevantly: "He seems to be dying, are you sure you can do it with your magic power?" Read the memory of a dead person?"

"...The elves are all wood! There is no interest at all." Sophie glanced at Mu Yu resentfully, muttered in a low voice, and while concentrating the magic power on her fingertips to draw a magic circle in the air, she closed her eyes and chanted a lengthy incantation , In just a split second, a large number of complicated and messy memories flooded into my mind, like a rising tide of sea water.

Everyone's memories are synchronized with his age, and the imbalance between the two will inevitably cause some damage to its owner. It is almost impossible to accept a large number of other people's memories theoretically.Of course, Sophie didn't intend to use her own life to verify the correctness of this conclusion. In fact, she only needed to quickly browse the old man's memory and select the information she needed, which was not considered accepting other people's memories. The prototype of Sophie is a plant, and there are a lot of memory gaps before the transformation, so it will not cause too much burden.

The light of the magic circle condensed in front of her gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared slowly. Sophie slowly opened her eyes, and she glanced at the old man lying not far away with complicated eyes. He noticed that the breath of the old man disappeared almost at the same time as the magic circle.The death of the demons is always more shocking than the death of humans, because they will not usher in a new reincarnation like humans, but their souls will be broken and dissipated in this vast world.

Sophie withdrew her overly complicated gaze, paused for a moment, seemed to be thinking about how to word it, and said, "Unfortunately, this is indeed Mermaid Island."

"About this point, in fact, I'm not too surprised." Mu Yu shrugged slightly, and compounded a sentence casually.

Sophie didn't mind him interrupting her words, and continued as if she didn't notice: "According to the old man's memory, whenever someone goes out to the sea to hunt for predation, this island will appear in this situation. This is different from the previous inference. It fits perfectly, the powerful enchantment isolates the entire island from the sea water, which is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to the sea monster. The physiological structure of the sea monster is destined that they cannot survive without the sea water, and leave the sea water If it lasts for more than two hours, it will be life-threatening, and each time this kind of enchantment appears, it happens to last for about two hours, so the sea monsters do not go out to sea to prey frequently. Although there is no specific news, but I think this enchantment will not last for too long. Unfortunately, this is the last time the sea monsters prey. After the enchantment disappears, Mermaid Island will begin to close the island for a long time. I don’t know if they will What kind of method is used to close the locked island, maybe it will be like the Phoenix Clan, anyway, it is impossible to get in and out easily."

"Why do you want to close the lock island? It is said that the Phoenix clan also disappeared inexplicably back then."

"I don't know why the Phoenix family disappeared at that time, but there are traces of what the sea monsters did this time. Have you heard the songs of the sea monsters before?" Sophie asked with a strange expression.

"..." The other three looked at each other, probably unable to think of any connection between them, Hua Feng and Mu Yu looked at each other and said, "I think so, if you mean the burst of noise we heard when we just woke up. The words of a rather faint singing voice."

"It seems to be the case. According to the memory of the old man, according to the legend, this ballad is a sacrificial song sung by sea monsters in ancient times to welcome the arrival of the emperor of the demon world. At the beginning, there was only half of it. The sentence was completed by the Emperor of the Demon Realm, and it is said that it contains the Emperor of the Demon Realm's intention to destroy the world." Sophie shrugged casually, and then said, "I don't know whether it is true or not, do you believe it?"

"...Who knows." Mu Yu replied paradoxically. In fact, whether they believe it or not doesn't have much influence on them, as did the other three people after thinking about it. They just need to follow His Highness Xiu.I don't know if this rumor only exists at the bottom of the sea, if it spreads to the land, I'm afraid there will be more troubles, Sophie and Mu Yu glanced at each other casually, obviously they both thought of this, it seems that they should report this to His Highness Xiu as soon as possible Condition.

"What should I do now? The recovery of magic power is not ideal." Tomb said coldly, but it was difficult to hide the worry on his brows. The current situation is not the worst, but it will be hard to say if we wait any longer.

"We have no bargaining chips at all. Negotiating with the sea monsters is obviously not feasible. Besides...they probably have no way to send us out of the island." Mu Yu frowned slightly and Hua Feng nodded in agreement.

"Didn't it mean that this enchantment will appear as long as there are sea monsters out to sea to prey? You say, if we have a way to let the sea monsters go out to sea every two hours, won't this enchantment always exist? We can wait until then. Use the teleportation array to leave after the magic power is fully recovered." The more Sophie said, the more she felt that it was feasible, "As long as the king of the sea monster can be held hostage, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to order someone to go to sea."

"Hmph, you are thinking too naively." Hua Feng snorted coldly, glanced at Sophie who seemed dissatisfied but did not say much, and said, "Let's not talk about whether we can do it with our current ability." Even if the king who hijacked them did, because the sea monsters cannot leave the water for too long, that king would not agree to such a ridiculous request, otherwise the sea monsters would face complete extinction."

"You mean... we should sit here quietly waiting to die?" Tomb glanced at Hua Feng coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with Hua Feng's ridicule towards Sophie, and his tone was a little harsh, especially in the words "Quiet" and "Quiet". The words "wait for death" are accented.

"Maybe..." Mu Yu shrugged nonchalantly, and took a step forward without any trace, slightly blocking Hua Feng's body.

There was silence, no one answered, Mu Yu turned her head to look at Hua Feng, and while the other two were not paying attention, she quickly took a bite of the corner of Hua Feng's mouth, with a sly and smug smile on her lips , the demonstrative gaze lingered on the slightly blue lips of the other party, outlining an ambiguous and fuzzy lip line.

Hua Feng glared at Mu Yu viciously, seeing that Sophie and Tomb didn't seem to notice the scene just now, he was slightly relieved, the abnormal bluish-gray skin like the bark of dead wood couldn't cover up the blush.Hua Feng pretended to cough lightly, as if he wanted to say something to ease the inexplicable embarrassment and ambiguity in the air at the moment. Suddenly, the ground under his feet began to tremble, and Hua Feng fell forward unsteadily. The ground grabbed him, only to hear Mu Yu chanting a mantra softly, and both of them floated instantly. Although the float was not high, it was enough to get rid of the violent vibration of the ground under their feet.
