How to become a sea witch

This is different from what I thought.

Bernice stared blankly at Tiago, her eyes were full of strangeness and bewilderment, as if she didn't know him at all.

Why go into the magic mirror yourself?

Obviously no matter from which angle you think about it, letting her in is the most beneficial choice for him, isn't it?

What's more, even if you want to test whether she has really reformed herself, you don't need to take such a big risk, right?

Too many puzzles and countless subconscious speculations about why Thiago did this together filled her thinking in such a chaotic way that Bernice temporarily forgot to speak, and what came out of her lips was silence And meaningless transparent bubbles.

The Mirror looked almost as surprised as Bernice when he heard Thiago's decision.But soon, she put on a strange and stiff smile, backed away respectfully, stood by the mirror and made an inviting gesture to Tiago: "Then, I wish the Sea God Crown all the best."

Seeing that Tiago really planned to go in by himself, Bernice quickly grabbed the other's wrist.Small and smooth ice-blue scales covered his slightly bony wrist bones, and it brought a strange cold feeling in his hand.

"What are you thinking?" Bernice looked at him incredulously, and was a little anxious by the inexplicable indifference of the other party, "Do you believe such casual words? She won't abide by those so-called rules at all, These gimmicks are just trying to trap me or you in that mirror, so as to increase the chances of winning. It is common sense that demons never keep promises that are not bound by hard contracts. For example, I never did .”

"I know." Thiago replied, the pale golden eyelashes drooping, casting a slightly dark shadow in the blue as ice pupils, his face showed a sickness due to the excessive lack of expression/color the void.

Bernice let go of the other party subconsciously, not knowing if he knew that he knew that demons could not be trusted, or that she would not fulfill any of the promises she had made unless she was bound by a contract.

Thinking that it might be the latter, she wanted to bite off her talkative tongue.

Why should I remind him, it is completely enough to directly express due care and trust, did she just say that she was out of her mind?

"Don't worry, it won't be too long." After finishing speaking, Thiago went straight to the gigantic mirror with treacherous lights, and quickly disappeared into those whirlpools.

Within a moment after entering the magic mirror, Thiago's entire field of vision was blind, endless darkness filled every inch of the entire vast space, and he could not see the end or end.

He stopped at the spot and waited for a while, until the darkness in his eyes began to be gradually dispelled by a soft and hazy fluorescent light, and what he saw was a place he was all too familiar with.

The center of Yuanhai God's Domain, the Sea God Palace where the royal mermaids lived for generations.

Different from other places on the seabed, the mermaid habitat is built in a blue hole tens of thousands of feet deep, surrounded by countless rare and luxurious pearl oyster coral reefs, and there are many remains of ancient creatures that have long since disappeared in the original world .

Together with the splendor and history of the old century, they sleep together at the bottom of the blue hole and become the natural foundation of today's Sea God Palace.

This peculiar blue hole structure and the powerful magic protection of the ocean itself turned the Abyssal Sea Divine Realm into a completely independent and closed secret space.

Every year, the blue hole will be opened only during the full moon festival or the royal coming-of-age ceremony. The brilliant silver light at the full moon will shine directly through the avoided sea water, illuminating another layer of ocean world under the blue hole like daytime. .

It is an incomparable beauty.Surrounded by the turbulent sea water that is guided by magic to continuously divert and stand on both sides, only the vast and lofty sea of ​​stars and brocade night above the head.

Thiago has sneaked close to the edge of the blue hole many times, trying to look out through the huge translucent luminous enchantment, but he is not looking for the rumored stars or moonlight, but wants to see Look at the creatures outside.

The Heart of the Ocean gave him the divine status and power destined to be supreme, but also took away his normal ability to see things.In his eyes, the world is just a lifeless and barren wasteland, everything is withered and decaying, without the slightest feeling of liveliness, as if in the doomsday.

This is the world in the eyes of the gods, and what you see is the ultimate.

Even if it is a lively and healthy dolphin, a piece of lush Yinhai grassland, in Thiago's eyes, it will only be a pile of moving bones, a pile of solidified mud and dust.

This is the case with all living beings, he can only see their final form after their lives are exhausted.

And those physical bodies that will gradually break down in the passage of time do not exist in his vision.It is also because of this that Thiago has been completely unable to understand the so-called eyes and any emotions that the other party wants to express since he was born.

I heard from my mother that the eyes of all creatures can speak, whether they are sad or happy.Although the words spoken are sometimes insincere, the eyes are always the most difficult to deceive people.

Thiago tried to understand his mother's words, but found that he couldn't.Just like when he was listening to these words, he also couldn't see what kind of expression and what kind of eyes his mother was looking at him.

All he saw was a skeleton of a mermaid who was trying to describe the magnificent and dreamy mermaid under the bottom of the sea with an extremely gentle and respectful tone.To him, eyes full of deep emotions were just a pair of monotonous holes in his skull.

Turning his head again, the people patrolling and inspecting in and out around him are all neat skeletons holding spears and wearing spiral armor, boring and boring.

They all look the same without any difference.

Even, if it weren't for the memory and recognition of the voice, he wouldn't even be able to tell whether the person standing in front of him was his parents or his biological siblings.So in many cases, Thiago would swim directly past them blankly, as if they were completely strange.

This is the fate of the gods, and it is also a privilege.

All the beautiful scenery in the world, the beauty and ugliness of the skin are meaningless to gods, what they see is the end of all life.

Thousands of living beings are the same to God, without exception.They can neither see the sadness or happiness of others, nor feel the anger and hope that fills the eyes of creatures, just like a cold-colored ghost watching indifferently, independent and absolutely above all living beings and all laws.

Because they are the maintainers of the world, but also the protectors, they are immortal, above all else, and should not be affected by the chaotic emotions in the world.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are the karma of mortal things, and have nothing to do with the future Seagod.

In fact, he shouldn't be concerned with anyone or anything but the survival and balance of the ocean as a whole.

This is the high priest of the mermaid clan and Thiago's original mentor—Isaac had warned him countless times.

At that time, Thiago was still very young, and he only listened to Isaac's words, but did not understand them.

He often feels very different about why the world he sees is completely different from other creatures, why other people of the same race can express their truest emotions without any scruples, and can do whatever they want, but he alone cannot. At a loss.

Could it be that after not being the sea god, he can go out and play freely like other little mermaids, and he can also see all the colorful things in the eyes of other people of the same race?

He didn't want to be a sea god, not at all.But the sad thing is that he doesn't even have the right to choose.

Every living being around him is measuring him with the standard of Seagod, with the standard of absolute rationality, teaching him, correcting him, and even imprisoning him on the supreme god that is so heavy that people can't breathe.

He was born unable to see all the vivid and beautiful things in the world, nor could he recognize the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy on the faces of the creatures around him, so his cognition and feeling of emotions would be even slower, but he was not allowed to possess them.

Even occasional catharsis or grievances are completely forbidden.

No matter what happens, one must remain absolutely calm, and not be entangled or shaken by anyone or anything, that is what a perfect god should look like.

For 200 years, Thiago was forced to accept this concept and gradually grew up, while he couldn't help resisting and questioning it in the bottom of his heart.

In his eyes, even every creature seems to be composed of some cold and uniform rigid bones.But when they are laughing or crying, angry or joyful from the bottom of their hearts, the voices carrying their passionate emotions sound so warm and real, as if they are truly alive in that way.

On the other hand, it's really strange that I have to act like a dead thing and remain indifferent to everything.

Why does it have to be like this as a god?

He also wants to express his emotions as he likes, just like other creatures around him, laugh when he is happy, cry when he is unhappy, get angry when he is angry, feel wronged when he is wronged,

What does a funny smile look like, what does an angry and sad look look like, is there a difference?

He can't see it, he doesn't know it, he can only rely on the sound brought by his hearing to imagine, but because he has never seen it, he always feels that all imaginations are nothing but illusions.

In the picture, the blond-haired blue-eyed little mermaid sits at the highest point of the magnificent palace, his eyes are like the endless deep sea crawling under his tail fin, desolate to the point of depressing death.

He didn't show any sad or sad expression, he just sat there quietly, letting the sea water caress his light fair hair hanging between his brows, his overly quiet and beautiful face was covered like a mask Its indifference, after watching for a long time, you will feel a sense of desolation that makes your scalp tingle.

In front of the mirror, the Queen-like Mirror Demon raised the corners of her bright red lips, and spoke to Bernice with half emotion and half sarcasm: "It seems that even becoming the god who rules everything is not as happy as we imagined. it's a pity."

Bernice still hadn't recovered from the reappearance of the memory in the magic mirror. After hearing her words, she immediately frowned and retorted angrily: "That's because the joy of becoming a god is beyond your imagination. Yes, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

Otherwise, if it continues like this, I really don't know what crazy memories will be turned out by this perverted mirror demon to use it as a knife, and then cut Thiago's scar one knife at a time.

Thinking of this, she suddenly recalled in shock, wasn't it because she had been deceived, kidnapped and persecuted by fraud, that's why she was finally arrested and sent to the Death Sin Garden?

There won't be any memories about her behind this damn thing, right? !

But according to Thiago's previous statement, his current body only exists in a split state, and his memory and divine power are incomplete.So is it possible that he just doesn't remember that part?

Bernice was a little afraid to think about it, because she knew that if Thiago not only remembered those things, but would also be picked up by the magic mirror to play a super-clear and silky full-screen replay of his death.Then let's not say that she wants to whitewash Tiago's heart, even if she rushes in to wash/brain him immediately, it will be too late!

"It's too early to say give up now, isn't it?" Magic Mirror sneered, turned and sat in front of the long mahogany table, reached out and picked up an apple in front of him, his eyes were gloomy and mocking, "Who knows who will give up in the end?"

The light green light slowly entangled in the hand, gradually condensing into a slender and sharp bone blade.Bernice stared at the other party expressionlessly, and before she could make a move, the magic mirror asked, "Miss Sea Witch, is she not going to care about the lives of those humans? Are you ready to join hands with me to solve the biggest trouble in the mirror?"

Bernice was stunned for a moment, her emerald green eyes turned to the end of her eyes, and saw that the picture on the mirror had turned into her own image at some point.

She clicked her tongue, took back the bone blade, pulled away the chair beside the wooden table and sat down as well: "I don't want to die as much as you do. If you think you live too long, just let it go. When you are also listed as a mermaid When you're number one, I thought I'd be happy to give you some fee-based advice on getting away."

The magic mirror smiled strangely, raised the apple in his hand and took a bite, the sound was so crisp that it was almost sharp.

Bernice looked at those apples that were too bright red and plump, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, you did the autopsy on those humans whose causes of death were all sudden deaths, right? Because they all ate this kind of apples."

"It's true." The magic mirror admits without hesitation, "This kind of poisonous apple will not kill people immediately, but will only make them more likely to lose control of their emotions, and it can also generate enough negative emotions before they die. .Miss Sea Witch, would you like to have one? They taste very good."

As she spoke, she lifted her finger, and the apple on the plate flew towards Bernice automatically, and was firmly caught by Bernice.

The dark green flame jumped up from her hand, engulfing it completely in an instant.

Bernice clapped her hands expressionlessly and turned her attention back to the mirror.

The mirror surface changed again, and the memories built by magic continued.

Thiago saw that the scene in front of him was gradually changing to the time when he left the blue hole enchantment for the first time, went outside the God's Domain, and went to the sea witch's territory for trials.

A long time ago, Thiago already knew about sea witches, the old enemies of the mermaids, and one of the monarch-level demons carved on the twelve sin pillars.

His habitat is hidden in a group of extinct volcanoes at the bottom of the sea, which perfectly fits the imagination of all human fairy tales about it—cold, gray, rocky, full of all kinds of vicious or terrifying underwater creatures, and countless fish carcasses.A thick sheet of white forest spread out on the bottom of the sea, like countless dead snow.

The outermost layer of the territory has a wall of thorns cast by magic and condensed with cooled magma stones.

This is the lair of sea witches of all ages, and it is also the only fringe place in the entire ocean that cannot be governed by the mermaids.

Sensing the approach of the alien race, the black and sharp thorns that were entwined and blocked immediately unfurled, releasing countless monsters lurking inside and biting Tiago.

It is not difficult for Thiago to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers. After all, all monsters have no body in his eyes, only twisted and weird bones.It is clear to him where the magic marrow that contains the source of their power grows.

The young mermaid with long icy blue tail walked through the dark sea filled with monsters, his long light golden hair fluttered away, and the color was as pure as the hazy dawn melting in the sea.

His speed was very fast, and before the surrounding monsters reacted, he had already hit the opponent's vital point. The whole process was as smooth as clouds and flowing water, so precise that there was no unnecessary movement.

When he returned below the blue hole with the head of the lord-level monster who had killed nearly half of the mermaid patrols by himself and was second only to the sea witch in strength, all the mermaids in the Abyssal Sea Divine Realm gathered together and waited for his attack. arrival.

Thiago thought that he would be rewarded with hugs and kisses from his mother and approval from his father, just like when his brother returned.

But the fact is that when he swam towards them, all he saw were believers who worshiped him as a god.

He looked at the relatives in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the countless fellow tribes around him who were showing the same posture. He was silent for a while, and the already fragile starlight in his eyes was completely shattered.

According to the procedure of the ceremony, Thiago should sit on the seat of the sea god revered by all spirits at this time, and declare his oath to protect the mermaid race and the entire ocean.

But facing the laughter and prayers of the audience, he only felt noisy and empty.

The water was deep and cold, pressing on Thiago so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
