How to become a sea witch

Later, every time when Thiago seriously thought about when he really started to live as himself.

The first image he recalled was always the moment when Bernice first appeared in his sight.

The girl was as light as the wind, and came towards him with the splendor of a whole world.

Not because of her mannerisms,? Or the coincident timing of the scene.

But her existence, without any extra conditions, is enough to make Thiago feel like the end of a long dream.All the sleeping senses were instantly awakened, and immediately fell into a clear to deep pain.

It is said that at the beginning of every life's birth, the first feeling it feels is pain.

This kind of sharp emotion that is crowded in the chest, which cannot subside and cannot be cooled, is constantly reminding him:

My time starts from this moment.

Before that,? I have been waiting for you for a long time.

……

The day Bernice fled the ocean, it was raining.

The rumbling thunder and thick dark clouds rolled in from the other side of the sea, the rain was dense and cold, and the mist was entwined, chasing after her like countless gray shadows, swallowing her in the blink of an eye, and never being found again.

She is obviously not familiar with how to hide her magic power fluctuations, especially when she is driven by instinct to hunt because of hunger, the unique offensive magic suppression from sea witches will be revealed more and more wantonly. .

Therefore, Thiago found her with little effort.

For the low-level Pan-Yuan-level,? Lord-level and some Lord-level demons,? Their food sources are mainly various animals without intelligence,? Human beings, and some even devour their own kind.And for the extremely rare monarch-level demons, they no longer have any need for substantial food.

On the contrary, the various vicious emotions that breed in the hearts of intelligent creatures, and the greed and delusions in their nature are their favorite food.

This point was realized immediately when Bernice ate a lot of sea fish and shellfish but found that it was useless, and she was still very hungry.

The hunger that was so strong that it was almost tormenting forced her to leave the dark alley where she was hiding, and came to the street where people came and went, her emerald green pupils scanned every human who walked by.

Thanks to the demon's unique and keen senses, Bernice can easily identify who meets her hunting standards.The more resentful or obsessive human beings are, the more attractive they smell.

The delicious smell as sweet as icing sugar drew her in, causing the blood in her whole body to boil, and her scalp tingled with excitement.

Find the target, use her best lies and exquisite and beautiful appearance to seduce the other party, tell the dark wishes they most want to fulfill, and make a deal with her in the branded fire that belongs to the sea witch.

The moment when the wish is realized is also the moment when their own desires/thoughts are maximized.As a price, they will be drained of all their emotions and anger by the contract at this time, turning into a shell without any sanity.

The pleasure brought by eating was short-lived, only the excitement mobilized by the hunting instinct still remained on every nerve ending of her.

After the hunger was relieved to a certain extent, Bernice finally regained her sanity.She looked at the motionless human lying on the ground, as if she hadn't realized what happened, and even stretched out her hand to push him in a daze.

Just like those traders whose souls were taken by Ursula, the middle-aged man in front of him also completely lost consciousness.The empty and scattered eyes were like two dark stones, staring straight at Bernice, and there was still a final smile-like expression on his face, but it was extraordinarily weird because it was too stiff.

She was stunned for a while, and finally realized that she had now become a demon like Ursula.

Through the rain-stained windows, Thiago watched her curled up in a corner of the room, hugging herself tightly like an abandoned child, her long black hair was messy and a few strands stuck to her cheeks , making her bloodless skin look even more morbidly pale.

The lights shrouded the room, and the overly bright lines formed a heavy burden, which seemed like it would crush her at any moment.

Bernice stared blankly at the human in front of her, a layer of clear water gradually appeared in the emerald green pupils, which was precariously transparent.

Thiago hesitated to put his hand on the window lock, not sure how she would react if he went in at this time.

Reminiscent of the last time they met, Bernice was in such a bad state that she was about to collapse, and she looked like she wanted to cut him to pieces, so he couldn't convince himself to go in.

He was afraid that Bernice would not want to see him, and even more afraid that she would be angry with him.

Thinking of this, Thiago slowly withdrew his hand, and instead stroked the scars on his neck caused by the thorns.

The snail thorn was made from the snail tail shell of the first sea witch, and it has always been a weapon inherited by successive sea witches.When the thorns with strong corrosive toxins and magic power cut the skin, the pain caused is like a flame burning on the wound, continuous and severe pain, and it is extremely difficult to heal, the wound will always fester and infect repeatedly until the wound is injured or die.

Therefore, if it weren't for the divine protection of the heart of the ocean, Bernice might really be able to kill him.

But in the end, it was Bernice who let him go.

Thiago couldn't figure out why Bernice stopped at the last moment if all she lied to him was to gain his trust and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him and take the Heart of the Ocean.

Obviously she was about to do it.

He looked at the girl who was leaning against the corner and covering her eyes with her hands, sobbing softly. It was clear that they had been with each other for decades, but in the end, Thiago felt that he had never really known each other.

Just like because of his visual abnormalities since he was a child, even though he has returned to normal now, he still has difficulty understanding some subtle expressions and expressions to a certain extent. His understanding of Bernice only stays in the most shallow voice and smile. , but know nothing about her past and heart.

Just judging from his intuition and many of Bernice's previous behaviors, he could feel that Bernice didn't really want to hurt him, but had to do it for some reason.It made him desperate to know why, and all that was true about her.

The dark clouds gathered above the head became darker and thicker, and the rainwater tirelessly washed away the world outside the window, smashing all the colors into chaos.

The grand and noisy sound of rain crowded Thiago's hearing, and only Bernice's whispering was the only reality independent of the chaos.

She kept repeating to herself: "Don't be like her, you are not her. Don't be like her, don't be what you hate the most... Live, live, like before, you have to live Go on, live on..."

She repeated the few words back and forth many times, from being hoarse at the beginning to whimpering, tears wet her hands uncontrollably.

Across the glass and a whole room away, Tiago touched her face with his fingertips, trying in vain to wipe away her tears.

do not Cry.

This sentence was held on the tip of his tongue, and it was difficult to toss and turn countless times, but it finally stopped on his lips.At the same time, Thiago also quickly realized that the "she" that Bernice kept repeating should refer to Ursula.

In other words, all of the current events were caused by Ursula alone.

Thiago stood in the rain, frowning, the slender rain strands that had not had time to fall on his robes were frozen in the air by the cold, and the thin ice gradually spread along the ground, burying the surrounding flowers and plants in an Under the cold and hard frost.

Perhaps stimulated by the sudden drop in temperature in the air, Bernice suddenly straightened her body and scanned her surroundings, and finally stopped in the direction of the balcony outside the window.

She had a feeling that something was watching her from outside the window, although she didn't see any living creatures, except...

She looked down and saw the flowers stiff with frost.

A strong fear forced her to jump up immediately, her body was adjusted into a defensive and offensive posture, she stared vigilantly at the vast rain and fog outside, quickly opened the door with one hand, and ran out without looking back.

This town is still too close to the ocean, and Bernice plans to escape to a farther place, inland or among the mountains far away from the ocean. At the same time, she is also trying to train herself to control the magic of the sea witch and hunt eager.

Subverting a demon's hunting habits is like forcing an ordinary fish in the sea to walk ashore. It is almost impossible to do.

And the consequences of being too depressed often cause the magic to get out of control, and Bernice has experienced this situation many times.

After all, the magic power of the sea witch is extremely violent and difficult to tame. For creatures who have never been exposed to high-level magic, it takes a lot of money to fully control it, especially in the early stages.

Whenever the demon's hunting nature and the out-of-control chaos of magic power overwhelm Bernice's own consciousness, she will always hunt more humans unconsciously until she is intercepted by Thiago and forced to hypnotize her into a deep sleep state.

Starting from the small seaside town of the Kingdom of Macedonia, Bernice fled northward for more than half of the country, and Tiago followed her not far or near.

In addition to helping Bernice secretly to get rid of the torture of the endless hunting desire/desire, and the unskilled control of magic power until she can use it freely, Thiago is also looking for other things because there is no sea witch. The sea demons scattered all over the ocean want to get the truth about Bernice's past from them.

The third day after Bernice arrived in Kimberly Township was exactly the day when Thiago was supposed to officially take over the throne.

According to common sense, he should be crowned in the Chaos Capital at the end of the world, also endless years ago, where the old god who created the present world from the chaos and disorder died, and has since become the same as the god of light, Augsig. the supreme deity.

But what Gabriel didn't expect was that just after he came out of the Bright Palace, he saw Thiago who had just arrived.

The young man was wearing a pure white robe that was blown flutteringly by the wind, and the blue stripes on the edges surged like waves.He lifted his hood and nodded to Gabriel, his long platinum hair hanging down.Too pure brilliance, even the sunlight falling on the tip of the hair is dim.

Gabriel was slightly stunned, and quickly knelt on one knee to salute: "Your Majesty the Sea God."

"Good morning, Archangel." Thiago said, looking into the shrine, "Is Augsig in there?"

"Your Majesty, yes."

"Well, I have something to do with him."

After finishing speaking, Thiago walked straight in.

Gabriel looked at him with some doubts, not understanding that at this time, apart from the coronation, what else could be more important.

Soon, the giant white door engraved with the all-seeing eye and complicated patterns opened again. The saint of light, wearing a gold gauze dress and a white crystal crown, stood behind the door and bowed deeply to Thiago. The smooth, sand-blond long hair winds behind her well-shaped shoulders, as long as a river full of sunset at dusk.

"Your Majesty the Sea God," she said with a humble and dignified attitude, "Please come with me, the God of Light is just waiting for you."

"sorry to bother you."

The promenade in front of it is wide and winding, with bright red roses growing on both sides, filtering the overly grand light into golden spots.All the colors that can be found in the world are grown here, so rich and gorgeous that it is close to the limit that the vision can bear.

After coming to the center of the shrine, Thiago saw each other at the end of the flowers and light mist.

The silver-haired young man in the gold-patterned god suit was sitting in front of the chess table, looking intently at the chess game in front of him, then turned his head as if sensing something, a faint smile appeared in those golden eyes : "It's just in time, I'm bored playing with myself, and only you can accompany me."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and moved slightly, and the chessboard instantly returned to its original state. The two armies, black and white, stood guard on both sides, facing each other fiercely.

Thiago sat opposite him and pushed the black knight forward: "You know I'm coming."

"I just saw it." Augersig pointed to his eyes, and then sighed, "But sometimes it's not a good thing to see too much. You see, besides you, I

I really can't find any other people to play chess with. "

Thiago understood what he said. After all, what the all-seeing eye sees is the truth. It is really boring to see all the moves that the opponent will use before playing chess.

"I'm here this time to ask one thing."

"Please say."

"A new batch of Sea Clan criminals have been taken into custody in the Fallen Sin Garden, right? One of them is a subordinate who has been with Ursula for nearly a thousand years."

Augersig carefully examined the situation on the chessboard. He needed to concentrate to deal with the situation when he couldn't see any thoughts of the young man in front of him: "That's right. Do you want to see him?"

"There are some things I need to figure out." Thiago pushed the black queen to the front of the white pawn's camp, killing the white bishop who was blocking him.

Augersig looked up at him, with a faint smile in his golden eyes: "Please allow me to guess, is it related to that child?"

Thiago nodded without hesitation, and continued to drive the queen to kill the surrounding knights, and replied in a gentle tone: "So I hope the sooner the better, trouble."

"Of course, if you want to go, you can go anytime. But can you let me go with you?" He said, "I'm curious, what is the past of the child who can make Sea God ignore her own coronation ceremony Besides, you will need a friend who can help you spot lies, which will get you what you want faster."

"Thank you then."

It didn't take much time for Thiago to learn all about Bernice's past from the heavy-duty prisoner imprisoned on the ninth floor of the Fallen Garden, a manta ray named Riley.

From when she was rescued by Ursula with a contract because she was dying, until she was finally forced by Ursula to succeed her as the new sea witch.

"She's really weak. I mean, as a jellyfish without any magical powers, she lives with us every day." The demon in the water prison laughed strangely, "I thought she would be killed on the first day." The other demons are torn into pieces and eaten as playthings, after all, she has no ability to resist at all, anyone can bully her and take revenge on her."

Augersig listened quietly, glanced at Thiago, and saw an overly blank calm appearing on his face, covering all the subtle expressions/colors like snow, leaving only the shocking coldness and repressed.

"But that little thing is still a bit capable. At least compared to other fish that are frightened and go crazy when they come, she still has a brain and knows what to do and what not to do. Most importantly, she is very good at talking and talking. She made up lies and was very clever, so Ursula liked her very much. Gradually, other demons no longer dared to bully her casually."

"It's just that Ursula still thinks she's too cowardly, cruel enough, and not qualified to be a devil." Riley said casually, as if he was a little puzzled and resentful, "Looking at it now, maybe it's just this lying woman The dead girl is just pretending. After getting the magic power of the sea witch, she killed more than half of our companions in a row, just to avenge that anyone could bully her back then."

After speaking, he looked at Tiago again, and said in a strange tone: "I heard that she almost killed you, Your Majesty the Sea God. Do you think she is much more powerful than Ursula?"

Thiago looked at him blankly for a while, then suddenly pulled away a warm smile: "Yes. Ursula is certainly not as good as her."

Immediately afterwards, he took a step closer, looked down at the devil in the water prison, and said in a gentle tone that was a bit creepy: "You just said that anyone can bully her, right?"

"What about you? Have you ever bullied her?"

The question was too jumpy and without any logic at all, and Riley was stunned: "What?"

A strong, unprecedented extreme anger flooded out from the bottom of my heart completely uncontrollably.

This experience is very novel. In all the past time, Thiago has never had this kind of emotion that he has only seen in other creatures.

It is completely contrary to the identity of a god, and it is a vivid, hot, alive instinct.

Not as Sea God, but as Thiago himself.

It was also at the moment when this kind of anger emerged, Thiago reached out his hand to penetrate the barrier of the water prison without even thinking about it, grabbed the opponent's neck, and the pale ice spread inch by inch, gradually freezing the opponent in place and unable to move: " I'm asking you if you have bullied her before."

"I..." Riley opened his mouth with difficulty, and his body fell into an extremely low temperature and numbness.He had a feeling that he had been frozen into an ice sculpture, as long as he nodded and said yes, the young god in front of him would immediately cut off his neck.

However, before he could deny it, Thiago had already answered for him: "That seems to be the case."

"Thank you for telling me this." He said without changing his expression, his attitude was still polite, but the movements of his hands suddenly tightened, "But I think Ursula is right, Bernice is not cruel enough. .”

"She shouldn't have let any of you go."

"That's okay though. You're all here now anyway, aren't you?"

The author has something to say: Even if the entire past of Nini and Thiago is explained, it is also convenient for the follow-up content to expand. Otherwise, I feel that many little angels may not be able to understand Nini’s brain circuit and abandon me [QA□□Q] .

In short, it was not intentional delay to prevent Nini from being enlightened, but her experience was doomed that she would not be able to understand Thiago's thoughts quickly.She grew up in a very depressive and complicated environment, full of deception and various negative influences, and she did everything in order to survive.

This kind of distorted growth experience for hundreds of years made her immediately receive negative things no matter what she looked at.

For example, what she knows about the mermaids is that "if they offend the mermaids, they will become extremely vicious, and they will take revenge." She completely ignored or didn't realize that the mermaids would also be absolutely loyal to their partners.

Or even if you know it, you will feel—"Oh, and then? What does it have to do with me? Do you want me to kidnap his wife?" [Chinese teacher uncovers the coffin and rises to warn]

Therefore, she will habitually feel that Thiago's kindness to her is for another purpose.

Ah, but in general, Nini must still be saved, you can cry her [? ] But don't abandon her [QA□□Q]
