How to become a sea witch

When she got up early, Bernice could clearly feel that the visibility in the sea was much weaker than yesterday, and everything she saw when she opened her eyes was covered with a thick and dark blue.

She floated to the surface of the sea from the bottom of the water, blinked away the clear sea water that rolled into her eyes, and saw, as expected, that the sky above her head was a gray haze that represented the approaching summer rain, and even the air was hot and humid.

According to the agreement with Thiago last night, they will go to the St. Clair Theater in the center of the city together after they meet.So after the hunting was over, she quickly came to the jungle bar where she had made an appointment before, and saw Rebecca struggling with an iron flower stand that was almost as tall as herself.

The iron shelf filled with flowers is quite heavy and unstable. Rebecca tried to place it next to the glass window that would not interfere with the guests coming in and out, but because of lack of strength, she could only hold it in her hand and drag it slowly OK.

All kinds of flowers with fresh water drops are shaking and blooming on the delicate flower branches. The overly low-key green can hardly bear the bright and unrestrained colors of the flowers, as if they will fall at any time, vibrant and beautiful.

"Do you need help?" Bernice said, walking over to pick up the flower stand in the other's hand with one hand, "Where do you want to put it?"

"Just put it over there." Rebecca pointed to the right side of the window, wiped the sweat on the tip of her nose with the back of her hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you. Would you like something to drink? I dinner."

"Then have a glass of the sea salt soda you recommended last time."

She said, followed Rebecca into the bar and looked around, and saw that there were already a few customers sitting sporadically, and asked, "Is the Cheshire Cat not here today?"

Rebecca went around to the counter, took out a glass and a jar of sea salt, and replied while cutting a lime: "He's preparing ingredients in the warehouse, and he should be here in a while,? You came here specifically to find him ?”

"Not on purpose, just by the way."

After all, considering that Lambert Greer is also considered to be half of the underground kingdom, Bernice guessed that the Cheshire Cat should be very familiar with this half-blood wizard who also belongs to the White Queen's camp. Where Thiago met, hoping to find out a little more before going to the theatre.

Not long after she sat down, a familiar lively voice suddenly came to Bernice's hearing: "Hi, we meet again, Miss Ocean, good morning."

Hearing what he called her, Bernice couldn't help but paused as she buried herself in the popcorn, and then looked up: "Good morning. But next time, for your own safety, you'd better not call me that."

"Eh? What's the matter with this title?" Troy looked at her blankly, a kind of strong and conspicuous confusion filled every crevice of his expression, and he seemed innocent and pure without knowing the world.

Bernice bit the popcorn in her mouth, and said vaguely: "You know that in the lingua franca of the Sea Clan, Miss Ocean and Mrs. Ocean are actually the same word. According to customs, only those who have the right to inherit the throne Only the spouse of the male royal mermaid, or the female heir, can be called Mrs. Ocean."

"I see." Troy nodded understandingly, and said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry, I don't know much about the customs of the Sea Clan, so I'm really sorry."

Bernice was a little baffled by his sincere apology, but she still comforted: "It doesn't matter too much, anyway, there are no other sea people here for the time being. Otherwise, you probably have already called back and forth a few times. "

"Will it be so serious?" Troy blinked in surprise, feeling that his worldview had been slightly impacted.

"Because I'm a sea witch." Bernice reminded blankly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark gray mist mixed with a faint blue color drifted out from behind the door, floating a series of fruits, coffee beans and various cookies.Immediately afterwards, these ingredients were thrown into their respective counter areas by an invisible external force, and finally a fluffy tail protruded from the air, rolling up a cup with a few pieces of catnip in it.

Bernice snapped her fingers in the direction of the teacup, and the green light immediately dispersed the Cheshire Cat's invisibility fog.She looked at the other party carefully, nodded and praised: "It seems that cats grow hair very fast."

After being dazed for a second, the Cheshire Cat quickly jumped up from the counter, stood upright on the spot with its tail upright, its green eyes staring at her unblinkingly: "Thank you for the compliment. But, I'm afraid you didn't come here on purpose to visit Do I have good hair?"

"Of course not, I'm here to wait for someone, and I want to ask you about someone by the way." As she spoke, she took the lime sea salt soda that Rebecca brought.

"who?"

"Lambert Greer, you know that?"

After hearing the name, the Cheshire Cat was visibly stunned, then squatted on the countertop and looked at her with a tilted head: "Why do you suddenly think of asking about him? Is it related to the recent collector incident?"

"It seems that you guys are well-informed." Bernice nodded without hesitation, took a sip from her water glass, "Do you know much about this person?"

"Familiar, he is a poor child." Cheshire Cat said, suddenly slowly floated up, and slid back and forth in the air like a balloon.

"Wait a minute, forget about Bernice, how did you know?" Troy looked at him with wide eyes, "Even we were notified last night."

I am used to the angels of the guards calling me 0331, the prisoner code number in the Fallen Garden. Bernice was still a little unresponsive when Troy said her name, and then turned her head. , looking at him with some doubts.

"So do we. As for why, we have to ask our archangel." The Cheshire cat grinned, and rolled over in the air contentedly, wagging its tail briskly.

"Oh, it's sir." Troy suddenly realized, "That's not surprising."

"Why?" This time it was Bernice's turn to be surprised.

"The relationship between the officer and Miss Rebecca has always been very good. Every time there is an emergency nearby, he will specifically ask Miss Rebecca to be careful, and sometimes he will come here to see if there is anything wrong." Troy replied.

Although she always knew that the relationship with Rebecca's security department was considered good, such an answer was obviously beyond Bernice's expectations.She thought about it for a while, and immediately felt keenly that there was something worth investigating.

She looked thoughtfully at the opposite side of the bar. She was lowering her head to record the customer's order, and asked the other party to wait in a soft voice. The smiling girl in the red cloak seemed to have realized something.

So, she grabbed Troy who was about to find a place to sit down, and gave half of the bench she was sitting on, her light green eyes were amiable, and her face was friendly: "I'm a little curious, it sounds like you sir Seems to care about Rebecca."

The two or three things that the paralyzed angel and the gentle girl had to say, how could she miss such epic rumors that happened around her!

Troy recalled that Gabriel had warned him that if he wanted to feel better, he had better stay away from Bernice, he hesitated for a while, and could only scratch his head blankly: "I thought you were going to ask the Cheshire Cat about Greer's business."

"Ah, yes! It's business!"

Bernice slapped her forehead, and immediately said to Troy: "Don't go, we'll have an in-depth exchange after I finish asking."

The mist was rippling, and the entity re-condensed into a cat appeared on the table in front of them.The Cheshire cat propped its fluffy tail on its chin, and the smile on its face was always weird and gloomy: "I didn't even know you cared so much about others."

"I care about all my dear friends around me." Bernice said nonsense without changing her face, "including that Lambert Greer."

The Cheshire Cat twitched the corners of its mouth slightly, and quickly told everything he knew about Lambert.

It was also at this time that Bernice knew that the famous red manor in the small town of Forspen was actually the place where the Greer family lived for generations.

This cognition gave her an illusion similar to the overlapping of time and space.

Because more than fifty years ago, she met Thiago again in that red manor, and then fled all the way to Pendraken, where she was finally caught by the guards.Based on this calculation, this Lambert Greer should be at least 70 years old this year.

However, considering his half-blood wizard blood, it is obviously unreasonable to judge him by the lifespan and aging laws of human beings.

"That place, I mean, is there any legend about that red manor?" She asked while trying to recall, but she could only recall some sporadic details that couldn't be linked together.

"It seems so. After all, such a thing happened." The Cheshire Cat said, paused for a short time, and then continued, "After Lambert left, the red manor should have been abandoned."

"So what happened in the first place?"

"I seem to have a little impression." Troy suddenly reacted, "That northern human nobleman who had married seven wives but died in the end, is he?"

After being reminded like this, Bernice also recalled it, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "That lunatic is his father?"

"Yes. But he was not like this before. It seems that after Lambert's mother, Matilda, died on the battlefield, he still couldn't accept this fact." The Cheshire Cat replied.

Hearing this, Bernice seemed to suddenly understand with empathy how the collector's murder method was formed.After all, I grew up with a lunatic father since I was a child, so it's hard not to be influenced.

The Cheshire Cat's words continued. When she heard that Lambert had planned to marry the girl who grew up with him, Bernice immediately asked, "Then do you know what that girl looks like?"

"I've only seen a portrait, and it's indeed a very beautiful human girl."

"Black hair and green eyes?" Bernice blurted out.

"Yes." The Cheshire Cat sighed, "It's a pity that the girl died later."

"Did something happen at that time?"

"It was because of illness, but the other Lamberts never said anything about it. In fact, after the girl died, Lambert rarely came to the Underground Kingdom, so I don't know what happened to him afterwards."

"So, what's the girl's name?" Bernice asked.

"The name..." the Cheshire Cat recalled for a while, and said uncertainly, "It's probably called Dakota Colson or Corson. I don't remember her last name, because everyone calls her Dakota."

Dakota Colson or Corson.Bernice recalled the letter "D·K" branded on the ring, and felt that it should refer to her.

"Okay, Jack of Heart is on vacation today, I have to help, call me if there is anything to do." Saying this, the Cheshire Cat stretched itself, and quickly disappeared in front of them in a puff of smoke.

Bernice pinched the straw and slowly stirred the water in the glass, watching the ice cubes and lime slices inside swirl and float on the water surface together.The weak light came in from the window, penetrated the cup and landed on the table, reflecting a slightly shiny transparent water pattern.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a daze, Troy couldn't help asking softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, just thought of something..."

She stopped suddenly in the middle of her speech, and there was a moment of complete blankness and emptiness in her green eyes, then she shook her head and changed the subject casually: "It's nothing, since the business is done, it's time to discuss something relaxed and happy topics. For example, is your sir on good terms with Rebecca?"

"Yeah. But you look surprised." Troy sipped on the dark cloud drink in his hand, looking so innocent and well-behaved.

Bernice replied cautiously: "It's really surprising. I thought he, you know, he is very serious, and he doesn't like to talk much. He doesn't look like the type who makes friends easily."

"That's it." Troy smiled knowingly, "Actually, he's like this when he's on a mission, and he's pretty good in private. You'll know if you spend more time with him."

"Maybe, who told me to be a demon with a criminal record." Bernice grabbed a few popcorns and threw them into her mouth, echoing with emotion without any regrets.

"You can't say that, you've actually done a good job, really. I've never seen a demon who entered a place below the fifth floor of the Fallen Garden and was able to reduce his sentence until he was released on parole. And His Majesty has also visited you many times in the Meteor Garden before, he actually..."

"What did you say? Where did he go to see me so many times?" Bernice repeated the words that made her hair stand on end in astonishment, and suddenly felt caught off guard like being stabbed in the back with a needle.For a while, there was no time for pain or other sensations, and when he recovered, he was already sweating profusely.

"Ah...here, did I just say that?" After realizing that he had slipped his mouth, the guilty angel began to try to move to the side of the bench to avoid the fate of being questioned, but was still caught by Bernice. Holding it down, I can only blink and look around.

Bernice bet he'd looked every inch of the bar several times, but couldn't meet her eyes.

"Stop talking about this, I've heard it!" Bernice sharply dismantled him, leaned closer and asked, "He went to the Fallen Garden to look for me? Why? What did he want me for?"

This horrifying discovery made her start to instinctively recall whether she had inadvertently said anything that might offend the other party in the Fallen Sin Garden.

But she couldn't remember anything.

"I don't know, really..." Troy looked at her pitifully, trying to wrap his snow-white wings together like a cocoon.

Bernice stared at him closely, her eyes threatening, and she used the vicious villain face she learned from Ursula since she was a child: "You know the most useful thing I learned in the Fallen Garden What is it?"

"……what?"

"Any creature has weaknesses, and angels are no exception. For example, most of you are ticklish, especially the place behind the wings." This is actually what the succubus next door told her, is it true that Bernice is also I know, but this does not prevent her from using it as a weapon to intimidate the opponent.

Unexpectedly, Troy immediately began to frantically try to retreat as if he had been poked in some vitals: "I really don't know, I just took a rotation in the Fallen Sin Garden, and I know that His Majesty the Sea God often comes. I really don't know." I don't know why he went to you, I mean it, angels never lie!"

"Do I look so easy to fool? If you want to lie to me, you'd better hang around for hundreds of years first!"

"I'm not I didn't!"

As Troy said, he leaped suddenly, and the suddenly spread wings touched the water glass on the table, startled the little dark cloud that had been obediently gathering rain at the mouth of the glass, and fell to the ground with a scream , but was firmly supported by a force just before landing.

The splashed water rolled and condensed, and returned to the cup, not a single drop.

Bernice turned her head with a feeling, and saw a blond boy in a white suit standing opposite the long table, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand holding a small black cloud that was crying so loudly. The expression on Qingjuan's face was calm to indifferent: "It seems that I came at a bad time."

Taking advantage of the moment when Bernice froze, Troy quickly pulled away and saluted: "Your Majesty the Sea God."

"Get up." He put the dark cloud in his hand back to the mouth of the glass, and asked in a dull and cold tone, "Your?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's mine."

"Be careful, I heard that these little things are very vindictive." Thiago said, pulling back the fingertips that were tightly hugged by the little dark cloud, and nodded its head symbolically.

"Yes, I see." Troy bowed shyly.

He hummed, and turned his gaze to Bernice at the side.

The moment their eyes met, Bernice's first thought was - "It's over, the image of a good devil she painstakingly created".

Thinking of this, she quickly restrained the demonic aura that was still extremely arrogant just now, and sat back on the other end of the stool in a dignified and reserved manner, trying to save herself: "Good morning, Your Majesty. I was just wondering if you haven't come for so long. I have a temporary business, so I am very worried. But during this period of time, I also happened to ask the Cheshire Cat about some collectors. Look, do you want us to talk while walking for a while?"

Troy's eyes widened, stunned by her ability to change her face in a second and adapt to the situation.

Tiago stared at her for a long time without any composure, and the corners of his mouth were softly pulled away, but the expression on his face did not become much warmer because of this: "Okay, let's go then."

I don't know if it was Troy's illusion, but he felt that from the moment Bernice got up to the time he left with Thiago, the expressions on his face were exactly the same as those of the demons who were about to step on the execution ground to accept the punishment, and there was an undisguised calmness in his composure. of desolate sorrow.

He took a sip from the cup, and a short sharp pain suddenly appeared in his mouth.

It seemed to bite into something sharp and brittle.

He lowered his head and saw the little dark cloud lying on the mouth of the cup staring at him fiercely, and what fell into the cup was no longer transparent water, but sharp pieces of ice.

"Is the current Wuyun drink so advanced that it can still be iced." He covered his face, feeling that half of his face was going numb from the cold, and it was difficult to even open his mouth.

Really cold.

He silently rubbed his face and couldn't help shaking.

On the other side, Bernice reported the new news from the Cheshire Cat to Tiago as late as possible without compromising.

The city is still very quiet in the early morning. Except for the occasional few cars and morning joggers passing by, the entire street is empty as far as the eye can see, and there are traces left after the carnival of the cultural festival last night.

After listening to Thiago, he commented without emotion: "So that's the case, and it's no wonder he became like this."

"Don't blame him?" Bernice repeated, not sure if his attitude was forgiving or casual.

However, Thiago didn't linger on this issue, and just said lightly: "It's nothing. Thank you for going to Troy and the others to inquire about this early in the morning. It seems that we can save a lot of trouble in the future."

"Ah, nothing. I usually go to the Jungle Bar from around that time anyway. However, I actually went to the Cheshire Cat. After all, he is the creature next to the White Queen. So I think he should Yes, I will know some things that the security department has not yet investigated. As for Troy, I just happened to meet him." Bernice answered truthfully.

"Really? I thought you guys made an appointment in advance."

"An appointment? Why does Your Majesty think so?"

"I thought you had a good relationship."

"Relationship..."

Bernice was habitually drawn into a logical circle by such leading topics, and the first thing that came to mind was all kinds of rainbow farts.But after experiencing the previous Kamchatka forest incident and the difficult exploration of Tiago's temperament during this period, she feels that it is better not to randomly output, especially in this kind of sending On the proposition.

After all, the various emotions and anger points of the mermaid who has become a god are too weird. It is clear that she could make the other party happy without any effort before.But now she couldn't even figure out what he was thinking.

So, after a brief hesitation, Bernice carefully chose an answer that sounded rather compromised: "It's okay, anyway, we all work together, and we greet each other when we see each other to ease the embarrassment. Just to show friendliness."

Tiago looked down at her, didn't say anything else, and handed a white scallop with orange patterns to her: "I brought it for you."

Bernice took it obediently, and after opening the giant clam, she saw that there were many clusters of transparent crystal-like sea breath beads inside.

This is the fruit of an extremely precious marine magic plant. It usually only grows in the sea area with the most spiritual power in the Abyssal God's Domain, and it only bears fruit once in fifteen to twenty years. It is a very rare source of magic power replenishment, even if It is also difficult to see ordinary mermaids.

"Why did you give me this all of a sudden?" Bernice resisted the urge to stuff them all into a treasure chest to make a rare collection, and looked at him in surprise.

"Don't you get hungry easily when you eat ordinary food? It's much better if you eat this." Thiago replied, as if he didn't realize what he was giving out.

"But I'm used to not being able to eat enough, and it doesn't matter. Is it too wasteful to take this supplement..."

Before she finished speaking, Thiago stopped suddenly, reached out and pinched a sea breath bead that was almost as soft as jelly, and proposed calmly: "Or, do you need me to feed you?"

She shook her head reflexively, and quickly lowered her head and stuffed her mouth in fright.

When the rich, refreshing and sweet taste spread in her mouth, Bernice's spontaneous thought was:

This thing is really delicious.

The author has something to say: In order to prove that I did not abandon the pit suddenly.

The exam is coming soon, woo woo woo
