How to become a sea witch

According to common sense, it should be the time when the tide is ebbing.But those waves hovering on the coast not only have no tendency to recede, but are getting closer and closer to the monitoring center, almost submerging the surrounding protective fences.

Gabriel stood on the top of the building, watching the surging tides rising continuously, and finally condensed into the appearance of a human female.Countless dark waves bloomed below her knees, surrounded her and stood upright on the edge of the protective fence.

It's Thiago's messenger, Chao Ling.

After recognizing the other party, Gabriel immediately jumped down from the roof lightly.The moment the headband was blown off by the gust of wind, the long brown hair that broke free from the shackles immediately spread out behind him in a mess.The snow-white wings stretched out from behind, gently flapping a few times, holding him in mid-air.

"The demon controlling the ghost ship is the magic mirror of Queen Macedonia." Chao Ling bluntly described the current situation, "She has taken three alien human yachts as hostages. Now His Majesty has entered the magic mirror to fight for it." It's time, we must get rid of those mutants immediately, and clean up the memories of all human beings who witnessed it. As for the capture of the magic mirror, His Majesty said that it would be fine to leave it to him."

After Gabriel listened, he quickly conveyed the order of assembly and dispatch to all the angels stationed in the Far East branch with the sound worm.

In less than half a minute, a third-level patrol team composed of fifteen double-winged angels appeared neatly by the seaside.

Gabriel, who had lost his human disguise, returned to his original appearance as a seraphim, his pale golden eyes looking at the roaring sea were full of sharp edges: "Lead the way."

……

Time is infinitely blurred by the illusion and stretched into pieces of afterimages, and those memories covered with thick dust are soaked in sea water and start to turn white and fade.

Born to be chosen by the heart of the ocean as the future Poseidon's destiny, and his ability to see things differently from ordinary people, Thiago's childhood memories did not leave any fragments that could be called pleasant.

All the vitality and beauty in the world have nothing to do with him, and happiness, anger, sorrow and joy are all other people's business.

Abyssal Sea God Territory doesn't need Thiago, all it needs is Sea God.

After realizing this, Thiago no longer has any illusions about the future, nor is he obsessed with asking why.

So, he began to become more and more quiet and steady, and he was constantly learning and accepting everything that "since he is the future Seagod, he must know and need to do it".

Gentle and calm personality, indifferent and clean attitude, will not be biased or value the absolute rationality of a specific creature.

The most important thing is that it is not affected by any ties in the world, and exists only to maintain the eternal balance of the world.

Lonely and far away, alone.

In short, Thiago must be what gods are in the eyes of all living beings.

He spent nearly 200 years in this state of insensitivity until the day of judgment came.

This is a unique custom of the mermaid clan. Whenever there is a mermaid who seriously violates the law in the clan, he will be punished through the Judgment Day.

The first article of the law is to strictly prohibit intermarriage with foreigners.

The reason why there is such a rule is that mermaids are very different from other creatures in nature.They are loyal to their partners. Once they decide who they love, they will only follow that one in this life.

This kind of emotion is so blind and crazy, it can even be said that there is no bottom line at all, and everything will end only when the body turns into bubbles.

Therefore, in order to avoid being exploited by foreigners and become a fatal weakness, the mermaid tribe has always prohibited intermarriage with other races, and it has been peaceful for thousands of years, until today.

The one whose coccyx was broken off and tied to the execution post was a girl mermaid, already covered in scars and dying.Thick and curly long dark-colored hair floated in the water, making the complexion of the body pale to sickly after losing too much blood, looking too delicate and brittle.

Her name is Agata, and she is only three hundred years old.According to the lifespan of mermaids, they are just adults and very young, but because they fell in love with humans on land, they tried to trade with sea witches, trying to exchange their souls and the rest of their lives for hundreds of years in exchange for mermaids. A human body that can leave the sea forever, and stay with the same short decades.

Breaking the law is an unforgivable act, but trying to betray yourself to the sea witch who is the old enemy of the mermaid clan is even more sinful.

According to the verdict, Agata should fully repent of his sins before the gods, and then be sentenced to death.

But when she was brought in front of Tiago, she didn't beg for mercy, nor did she have any intention of repenting, she just silently looked at the young Seagod who was younger than herself, the light in her brown eyes was so firm that she was fearless .

Thiago didn't feel anything about it, because in his eyes, the girl was just a pile of bones, bound by chains, kneeling stiffly in front of him, resisting and refusing to admit her mistake, that's all.

He didn't urge him, but after waiting for a long time and still nothing happened, he asked with a habitual but mechanical smile, "You don't seem to be feeling well, do you need to loosen the chain?"

The girl's pale lips moved a few times, and she said in a hoarse voice: "You scare me."

Thiago was stunned, looking at the empty eye sockets of the other party in puzzlement, unable to capture any expression on her face: "What?"

"They all said that the Sea God is the protector of the entire ocean and sea people. If I want to atone for my sins, I must get your forgiveness." Agata said to him in a very clear voice "But I can't see any living emotion on your face. At any rate, other people of the same race still have real anger or regret for my violation of the law. But you, there is nothing, look at my The eyes are like looking at a dead thing, which scares me."

"You don't love any living beings, and naturally it is impossible to understand my feelings. So I will not ask for your forgiveness, because you can't even understand why I did this, how can you forgive me for what I did?"

After finishing speaking, Agata closed her eyes without any explanation, and just quietly waited for her own ending.

Outside the screen, Thiago watched the girl being led to the execution platform by the guards who quickly stepped forward. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and his cold white face was covered by shadows. how.

The magic mirror gloated at the mermaid in the mirror, hoping to catch his negative emotional fluctuations, but still failed.

Bernice stared nervously at the fragment of memory that began to change again in the mirror. Countless chaotic colors were constantly blending and rippling before her eyes, which made her dizzy.

When the picture was about to freeze again, she suddenly felt something close to her ear, and said almost silently: "The Archangel and the others have already gone to the place where the ghost ship appeared."

It's Chao Ling.

She blinked in surprise, and continued to look at the mirror as if nothing had happened.

Only Chao Ling can appear anywhere in the ocean at will, and has not been discovered by other creatures, because it is originally transformed from sea water.

It seems that Gabriel and the others have already started to clean up those mutants, so I just need to wait a little longer...

Before she could finish thinking, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the mirror.

is her own.

Bernice's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked into the mirror, and found that the picture in the mirror was no longer the dark blue and dark as before, but changed from the bottom of the sea to the land.

The blue-crowned tit chirped and landed on a branch full of flowers. When it met Tiago's eyes, it turned into a gray-and-white skeleton with its wings folded. It was standing with its head tilted on the bare withered branch, and its eyes were empty. .

Like the sea people, land creatures have no external appearance in Thiago's vision, only a pair of cold bones.

Thiago withdrew his gaze, lowered the brim of his hat, and continued walking towards his destination outside the town.

His target this time is the red-striped flame dragon inhabiting the Marlow Canyon. It was also the result of a maliciously created volcanic eruption more than ten days ago that sent a large amount of hot magma into the ocean, burning to death countless sea creatures. land devil.

The volcano continued to erupt for three days, and the crazily gushing red magma turned the entire shallow sea into a forbidden area for life.

It took a lot of money for the mermaids to seal the magma out of the sea water, and took all the surviving injured sea tribes into the Abyssal God's Domain below the blue hole for treatment.

However, although the volcanic eruption has stopped, the magmatic activity is still going on.If the source of the problem is not solved in time, such a blockade will not last long.

In the ocean, there are not many species that can leave the sea for a long time and keep their magic power unaffected. Mermaids are considered the top category.But in this incident, they were too overwhelmed to deal with the huge threat brought by the magma entering the sea, and they really couldn't mobilize enough power to kill the red-patterned flame dragon in a short time.

This is the consistent style of the Mermaid Clan. If they want revenge, they must end it once, and they will never give the other party a chance to escape or wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

But at the same time, killing a dragon is never easy.Especially when the opponent is not only innately incompatible with the mermaid's magic power, but also a lord-level demon, it is especially difficult to do it.

Thiago stood on the street of the town, using the pointer in his hand to try to confirm the exact location of the fire dragon's lair again, but the powerful dragon magic barrier made it completely useless.

He looked at the rolling high mountains outside the small town, put the pointer in his palm, and just about to go straight into the mountains, he tore open the barrier first.

But at this moment, a burst of chaotic shouts suddenly came to this side.

He tilted his head, and the first thing he saw was the dust blown up by magic, a grayish-yellow choking mass that slightly covered the sunlight above his head, leaving only a blurred iridescent halo.

Immediately afterwards, a creature that Thiago had never seen rushed out of the cloud of dust.

Not a skeleton, not a stiff wreckage withered to the point of death, but a girl with a ghostly translucent silhouette.

A wind blows from the canyon, blowing away the smog that fills the city, and the abundant sunlight shines down again.

The girl clicked her tongue, looked up at the sky and muttered, "It's really not the time".

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and squinted her eyes to look at the humans behind her who were roaring ferociously and swearing at her constantly. Not only did she not panic, but she even made a provocative grimace at them, smiling so brightly that her eyes were crooked.

Thiago stared blankly at the creature that suddenly appeared in front of him, and saw that her smoky body was painted into a faintly bright color by the sun, and the flowing brilliant halo filled her whole body, as if there were flames burning in the crystal. It burns so brightly.

This was the first time he saw a creature with a similar appearance to himself, a real, complete girl with warm vitality, galloping from the end of the dusty wasteland, with a strong and irresistible stance Breaking into his sight, dazzling everything in the world.

But at the same time, she looked so fragile, her whole body seemed to be formed from a cloud of pale white smoke, as long as the sun was hotter, she could be melted and evaporated.

The existence that was too clear and brilliant made Tiago lose all the ability to react in a moment, and he could only watch her use a particularly dexterous movement to cross those obstructing fences and turn over a wooden car full of withered flowers. Pushing the cart, when it landed, he took out a branch and bit it in his mouth, ran across the street briskly, and rushed straight towards Thiago.

The moment they passed by, the girl unconsciously turned her head and glanced at him, then opened her eyes slightly, her face full of amazement and disbelief.

Thiago was a little dazed by her expression, and didn't understand what she wanted to express, or what she felt.

He has never seen the real expression on a vivid face, he is only used to judging the other party's emotions from the voice, and his understanding is slow and rough.

Seeing that the other party was about to disappear around the corner, Thiago chased after her in the direction she left without any hesitation, with a reason that he couldn't explain himself.

This behavior was completely impulsive and against reason, and yet he did it anyway.Even when I think about it carefully, everything that happened later started from this.

He knew, but never regretted it.

For Thiago, all living beings are dark and decaying shadows, but she is more alive than the sun.

Therefore, even if he was asked to choose again, he would still follow without hesitation.

The town is near the sea and backed by mountains, and is limited by innate geographical conditions. The road built is also rugged and winding.

Thiago followed the figure of the girl to a noisy shop full of people, and was overwhelmed by the strong smell of tobacco and spirits as soon as he entered the door.Huge masses of hot and humid steam and the sunlight coming in from the window entangled and floated on the roof, the sound of loud music and the clinking of dice rolled one after another.

The people gathered here are all land magical creatures, which are fundamentally different from humans.But looking around, there was no sign of the girl just now.

He stood there for a while, and was about to go out to look for it again, but just as he turned around, a warm hand clasped his shoulder and dragged him straight into a cubicle beside him.

The girl pushed Thiago towards the wall with her backhand, raised her leg and stepped on the wall next to his ear, holding a handful of sharp screw thorns in her hand and placed it on his white jaw, forcing him to raise his head.

The light was dim, with only a faint golden light shining through the gap in the window.And her face was the clearest existence in a nearly pitch-black space.

"Why did you follow me?" She raised her brows and questioned, without much emotion in her tone.

Thiago doesn't quite remember how he answered at that time. He only knows that after learning that he was going to Marlow Canyon to find the red-striped flame dragon, the girl looked at him in surprise, with a half-smile: " Do you dare to go to the dragon alone? Are warriors these days so fearless of death?"

After finishing speaking, she took another look at the other party, feeling extremely regretful: "Why is it so hard to think about how good-looking she is?"

He didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party, but was attracted by the subtle changes on her face, so he followed her question and said, "I don't think I can't think about it."

The girl blinked, and heard him continue to explain: "The dragon crossed the line first."

"So you're going to die?" She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. This kind of smile is somewhat similar to the smile she showed on the humans across the street just now, but Thiago can vaguely feel the difference, but it can't be said Come on what is that.

"Not to die." He corrected, "To kill it."

"Ha." The girl couldn't help laughing, as if she had heard something very cheerful, "Go and kill it? Do you know what level of demon that fire dragon is, and you dare to say such things casually?"

Thiago quickly replied: "The lord level, below a thousand years old, likes to live in the crater, and the staple food is magma and low-level fire magic creatures."

Girl: "??? So you're not stupid?"

She wrinkled her nose, picked up the boy's molten gold-like long hair with a screw thorn and pinched it in the palm of her hand, and advised quite seriously: "Listen to my advice, little guy, go back to school honestly and study for a few more years before you come out to mess around." The fire dragon is not a character to be messed with, just look at the mess it made the whole ocean a while ago. You should take care of your pretty face and go home."

"I know, so I'm going."

The unexpected answer stunned the girl for a moment, and then, she looked at the other party carefully again, and immediately retracted her legs, pulling away from Thiago, with a serious face: "Are you a mermaid?"

No answer is the default.

She looked at the other party strangely, quickly retreated further, her delicate eyebrows frowned involuntarily, and the expression on her face became more obscure and complicated.

In the absence of communication, Thiago was completely unable to understand what the look on her face represented, and he had no clue what to guess.

After a long while, she suddenly put away those expressions just now, and put on a cute smile instead: "I said it earlier. I thought it was some child who didn't cherish life so much. It turned out that the mermaid clan came ashore to collect debts. However, Do you know where the Dragon Cave is?"

"You know?" Thiago looked at her suspiciously.

"Of course. Otherwise, where do you think this treasure of mine came from?" The girl said, taking out a dragon's breath crystal from her pocket and shaking it at him triumphantly, "If you want to go, I can help you lead the way."

"why?"

"Because there are countless crystal treasures in addition to dragons in the Dragon Cave. You want to find the dragon, and I want to find the treasures in its lair. Isn't this a perfect match! I am worried that I can't find one who can help me restrain Fortunately, I met you, the helper of the dragon. As long as you agree to let me go with you, we will share all the things I find by then, how about it?"

As she said, she approached the other party and said, "Of course, if you can hold it for a while, I can come out more smoothly."

It was only after getting closer that Tiago finally realized that the unusualness of the girl in front of him in his vision was not a miraculous exception, but because she was just a body that was forcibly restricted by magic power and survived .

Although she looks more like a living creature than any creature, in essence, she is not really alive, but she is always stuck in the moment before death by magic power and cannot be changed, so she will have something in her own eyes. Physically, because that's what she looked like at the end of her life.

Seeing that he was just staring at her without answering, the girl pursed her lips and compromised with difficulty: "Four to six, four to six is ​​fine, right? Children should know how to be content and be happy."

"I don't want treasures." Thiago recovered and shook his head.

"Great! This is what you said, don't go back on it!" The girl clapped her hands with a smile on her face, "Then let's go now, and serve it while it's hot!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to open the door, and was about to go out, but stopped, standing in the shadows and looking back at the young man behind her, with an illusory smile: "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"Tiago." He said, seeing the expression on the girl's face subtly fluctuate again, as if he suddenly realized, but also as expected.

She nodded and pointed to herself: "Bernese."

"My name is Bernice."
