How to become a sea witch

The moment when the heavy rain fell was exactly the moment when Gabriel sealed the throat of the last mutant with a sword.

The thick crimson was quickly washed away by the overwhelming transparent rainwater, and gradually melted into the ground, and even washed away the dirt on the surrounding lush grass leaves.

The forest is dim and hot, and there are large swirls of dark clouds in the dome, and the only remaining gray light is stranded on the dense canopy above the head, weakly illuminating the turbid air in the forest.

Gabriel casually wiped the water droplets hanging from his chin, and took out the sound-transmitting seashell in his pocket. His voice without emotional fluctuations was mixed in the noisy and heavy rain, and it sounded almost mechanically stable. Indifference: "The mutations in the δ region have been confirmed and cleared, and the risk of exposure has been ruled out. Please give me instructions on the next step."

Soon, Thiago's voice came out from the turbulent blue light: "Thanks for your hard work, please follow the rules. But you have to go back to the observation center first, we need to go to the bottom floor as soon as possible to see An old friend."

"As ordered."

Gabriel took back the sea shell, turned his head and briefly explained to several angels such as Troy and Uriah, "Destroy all the mutants according to the regulations or contain them for research, and I will meet with Your Majesty."

"clear."

As soon as the words fell, Gabriel had already left the forest, and soon flew towards the observation center by the sea.The warm rain surrounded him impenetrably, and the thick rain, fog and weak light did not affect his actions.

He recalled what Thiago said just now, and he could basically guess what he wanted to do.

After all, the word "lower level" has always been used to refer to the lowest level of the Meteor Garden, that is, the place where those creatures carved on the twelve sin pillars, the most dangerous, and the most serious crimes are held. .

Once inside, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death, and it is basically impossible to have a chance to live again.

So far, countless creatures have been imprisoned and then executed, and Bernice is the only one who survived.

And the other is the old friend Tiago mentioned, who was also the "exile" who was captured by Tiago from the capital of chaos and imprisoned in the Death Sin Garden 54 years ago, shortly after Bernice was imprisoned— — Leslie Rodriguez, responsible for the whole Latitude Void incident.

Although in terms of the severity of the crimes committed, Rodriguez and Bernice are almost at the same level.But there is no doubt that he himself is far more dangerous than Bernice.

After all, objectively speaking, Bernice is a sea witch. This is a very clear fact that has been established.Even if monarch-level demons are quite rare and extremely powerful, they cannot break free from the racial restrictions of being demons.

And as long as it is a demon, then in terms of nature, she and angels and mermaids are completely opposite and incompatible existences.

What's more, judging from the initial prison test, Bernice didn't seem to have used her magic power to the peak.

But Leslie Rodriguez is different. No one can say exactly what he is.It seems that the characteristics of all living beings can be found in him, but strictly speaking, he does not belong to any of them.

Thinking of this, Gabriel continued to flap his wings and walk through the gray rain all over the sky, his movements were as light and graceful as a petrel, and he quickly approached the direction where the sound of roaring waves came.

When the whole world was smashed into a chaotic mess by the overly majestic rain, Thiago's iconic whiteness and light golden hair color became the most eye-catching existence.

Therefore, Gabriel saw him on the coast with almost no effort, then quickly folded his wings and landed in front of him, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty the Sea God."

"Get up, please run with me." Thiago said gently, raised his hand slightly, and the dense water droplets attached to Gabriel's body and wide wings immediately swirled away automatically, and The brown-haired angel in front of him looked as if he hadn't been wet at all, and every bit of long hair and feathers were dry and neat.

The heavy rain turned away from the ground and began to rise towards the sky one after another, hovering in midair and lingering.

"This is what your subordinates should do." Gabriel replied, and immediately took out the ring engraved with "D·K" that Tiago gave him before, "As for the ownership of this ring, we will go to After investigating, it was found that it was not the victim's property, and it should have been stuffed down her throat by the collector. But at the same time, we also found that the victim's name was Dorothy Kane, and the initials coincided with the ring. The letters match, and the ring is handmade."

"Is that so?" Thiago took the ring, lowered his eyes and looked at it thoughtfully, "It seems that this victim is very close to the person in his heart, but..."

He recalled the painting of Bernice's portrait he saw in the closet just now, and his originally calm tone suddenly became a little cold: "It's just that he found a better one."

"better one?"

Gabriel raised his head with a slight frown, and probably guessed who it was after keenly noticing the slight change in the expression of the young god in front of him, but he still hesitated about his guess: "You mean 0331?"

Thiago hummed without emotion, put the ring back into his pocket, and turned his gaze to the distance where the smoky rain and fog and the dark blue sea were intertwined. The sky and the ocean were close together as if there was no distance: "We Let's go. I guess I'll have to spend a while at the bottom later."

"As ordered."

The latitude hole closest to Meteor Garden is located under a marine museum in the center of the city. In order to fully bring it into the scope of supervision, the Security Office and the Ocean Observation Center discussed for a long time what to do.

Finally, Thiago suggested that perhaps the most common means of economic control in human society can be used, which can save unnecessary trouble and facilitate overall control.

In other words, just buy it.

Facts have proved that this method is indeed very simple and effective.

Walking into the hall of the museum, the thick glass and walls immediately isolate the noise of the rainstorm outside.Today is a working day in human society, but the number of tourists here is still considerable.

They bypassed the hall, came to the only forbidden entrance to the basement, passed through the latitude void and returned to the Norma continent in the west of the original world.

No matter how many times you go through it again, passing through the latitude hole is excruciatingly painful.

The moment he walked in, all the scenery in front of him began to be distorted and blurred.The entire space seemed to be squeezed into a narrow slit by a huge invisible external force.The heavy pressure makes every creature who passes through it have a horrible feeling that in the next second, its bones will be crushed and its internal organs will be crushed into liquid.

About half a minute later, Thiago walked out of the void first, and when he looked up, he saw the afterglow of the setting sun, which was so hot that it seemed that the entire sky was burning.

As an air prison where dangerous prisoners of different races and crimes are held, the supervision and safety factor of the Fallen Park has always been extremely strict.From entering the prison gate to the bottom of the prison, the guard angels on each floor are on duty all day long.

Those guardian badges that can be seen everywhere - the Holy Sword of Judgment and the All-Seeing Eye, as well as the layers of waves surrounded by waves, are both marks and eyes of angels, faithfully recording the security situation of every minute and every place in the prison .

The further you go down, the fewer entrances and exits you can use to pass through.And there is only one elevator that can go directly to the bottom floor, and there is a pair of keys to open it, which have always been kept by the Seraph Archangel at the security office and the Sea King of the Mermaid Clan respectively.

However, since Tiago inherited the Seagod position, half of the keys in the hands of the Sea Emperor have been in his hands.

After the elevator was opened, the familiar darkness and hazy starlight rushed towards the face together. It seemed that what was hidden behind the door was not a prison cell, but a whole vast universe.

Thiago turned his head to look at Gabriel, his face was a bit blurred under the dim light, but his voice was still steady and soft: "It's still the old rule, I'll go alone, you pay attention to him in the monitoring room."

"Yes."

Walking into the elevator, Thiago didn't feel any weightlessness or the feeling of moving, only the constantly flickering and changing nebula outside and the thousands of colorful celestial bodies faithfully recorded the depth of the descent.

Gradually, the Endless Sea appeared in front of him.There is only one reef that is about to be submerged on the black sea that is so wide that you can't see the edge, surrounded by seven pillars and overlapping spirit seals.The column body is carved with countless six-winged angels from top to bottom, mermaids born in the stormy sea, dragon kings entrenched in the mountains, and elf priests hidden deep in the forest.

There are not many parts of the reef out of the water, and it is still being slowly eroded by the severe toxins in the seawater.Every time those dark waters wash against the reef, the edge of the stone crumbles a little, and it looks like it will be completely disintegrated at any time.

A creature that looks no different from human beings in appearance, is imprisoned by more than a dozen spirit seals and hangs above the reef, lifeless like a paradoxical puppet, with disheveled black hair, pale and sickly complexion, as if it has never seen the sun like that.

Sensing that the highly poisonous sea water was gradually becoming quiet and docile uncharacteristically, he raised his head stiffly, and through the gaps in his hair, he saw the young man in white who was walking towards him step by step, he couldn't help but groaned deeply. His gray eyes lit up without warmth, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse after a long silence: "Ah, Your Majesty, Sea God, long time no see. How are you?"

"Very good." Thiago replied politely, with a clear attitude of alienation, "It's you, it seems that this star stone can't last long, right?"

"Ah, yes." Leslie snorted hoarsely, and glanced indifferently at the rocks under his feet, "I have to wait for another star to die and fall into the sea and turn into a rock before I can find a place to stay again. place. But until then, these poisonous waves will be my best torture."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped, took a deep breath and then sighed slowly, as if he was enduring some invisible pain.Then, he looked at the other party again, as if he wanted to move his tightly bound body, and his bent body showed an unnatural stiffness: "I've always been a little curious, did you come up with this punishment? ? To be honest, it's really good."

"It's not me." Tiago shook his head slightly. "This is just a routine method used by the bottom of the Fallen Garden to treat prisoners. I think it should have been used since the existence of this place. You should know better than me about this. After all, if I remember correctly, you were supposed to watch this prison be built, right?"

What he said made Leslie feel like a trance for a brief moment, and then he laughed a bit harshly: "Yes, it happened so long ago. So, you came to me today just to To remind me of what a tediously long time I've lived?"

"About this point, I don't think I need to remind you at all. You are the one who feels the most, don't you?"

Thiago spoke calmly, without going around in circles, and asked straight to the point: "Do you still have any impression of the Greer family in Fuspen Town, Kingdom of Macedonia?"

Leslie tilted his head, his messy black hair slid down his face, revealing a pair of weird eyes without pupils and irises behind the shadows, gloomy like big cloudy clouds tumbling on the skyline: "I'm not very Sure, Your Majesty. You also know that I have lived too long and seen too many creatures. If you remind me more, I may remember."

"You once gave something related to Augsig to the owner of the red manor, what was it?" Tiago asked.

"red……"

Leslie repeated the word in a low voice, chanting it back and forth as if savoring it, and then laughed quite heartily, his thin body trembling uncontrollably: "It seems that there is such a thing, why, he gave you Trouble?"

"What did you give him?" Thiago asked again.He could guess that it must be something related to the God of Light, but due to his current split state, his own incomplete power and personality, he was temporarily unable to ascertain what it was.

But what is certain is that it must have been sent out by Leslie Rodriguez.As the first believer and magician who was personally taught by the God of Light on land a long time ago, and who was later exiled from all living beings because of the crime of treason, Leslie is the only one who has the opportunity And likely to do so.

After all, not all creatures can obtain things related to the God of Light.And after teaching the first-generation believers, the God of Light never appeared in front of human beings again. The few creations passed down in the human world were also held by the first-generation believers, and they have been enshrined in the light after their death. In the Holy See, it has been preserved for generations.

Except the unknown one in Leslie's hands.

If Thiago guessed correctly, the thing that Leslie gave to the Greer family should be one of the divine creations bestowed by the God of Light to the first generation of believers, but I don’t know why it became what was recorded in the manuscript like that.

"Reminiscing about the past is very painful, Your Majesty, especially for me. But if you are willing to chat with me about some more pleasant things, I think I can bear this pain." Leslie Half seriously and half tentatively.

He bet that since Thiago had come to the bottom floor to find him in person, what was happening outside must have been serious to a certain extent.So from this point of view, he is the one with a slight advantage, and he can find ways to have some fun for himself.

"How about it, Your Majesty the Sea God. The creatures you care about are waiting for you pitifully outside." Leslie deliberately reminded, "I just want to chat with you, and that's all I can ask for. , isn't it?"

Thiago looked at him calmly, and understood that the reason why he dared to make such unscrupulous demands on himself was because he had already mastered the powerful magic arts he had learned from the God of Light, and was also very good at using false memories to Ability to resist hypnosis or mind reading.

If you want to get the truth out of his mouth, you must be when he is relaxed or emotionally fluctuating.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Just talk about yourself, okay? I'm curious, after all, I heard that you are a god with a 'heart', and you were the one who brought me here back then."

"I caught you only because Augsig was the one who stayed in the old palace in the capital of chaos that day to repair the latitude crack. If he came out instead, it would not be me who caught you here."

"So, you don't deny the first half of my sentence, do you? You are a god with a 'heart'." Leslie looked at him carefully, and there was a slight wave of cold light in his thick dark gray eyes .

"I have never been able to imagine that if God has a heart, which kind of creature would he take pity on? Lambs hunted by wolves, or wolves that died of hunger?"

"It's nothing to be pitiful about, it's just a law of nature." Thiago replied calmly.

"Yes, the laws of nature. All things are subject to the laws, only the gods are above them." Leslie said casually, and then asked, "Are you born like this? Can feel the emotions of all things in the world ?”

"Not really."

Facing his obviously questioning head tilt, Thiago further explained: "I used to be able to experience it, but I couldn't see it, and it was difficult to understand. Later, I could see it and imitate it, but it was unnecessary."

"Ah..." Leslie dragged his tone lightly and long, and then pondered, "So, after inheriting the position of god, you no longer have the ability to truly empathize with others as before, but instead It’s all considered imitation and skills, right? That’s right, if there are too many emotions, it will be very painful in God’s endless lifespan.”

After a brief silence, he asked again: "So when you were able to feel those emotions, is there anyone or something that is so special to you that it cannot be replaced, and even today it still touches you? ?”

Noticing that the eyes and eyelashes of the young god in front of him trembled extremely quickly after listening to this question, Leslie knew that he must be asking a vital question.

So, he laughed more and more freely, and at the same time thought quickly and made a guess: "It's not common for you to have such a reaction, but it reminds me of a very interesting thing. About the person who was originally locked up at the bottom like me The new Miss Sea Witch..."

Thiago stared at him calmly, the blue in his pupils was as clear as ice, with the darkness and sharpness shrouded in twilight.

"Let me tell you, she is indeed a cutie, as long as you don't look at her crimes." Leslie thought about it seriously, as if feeling emotional and admiring, "So, did she really try to assassinate you? ?”

"No." Thiago replied blankly.

Leslie nodded unsurprisingly: "Ah, I guess so. She has a cute little cleverness and an adventurous spirit for survival, but she won't do such a desperate thing. Obviously it should be Ursula lifelong wish."

"You know Ursula."

"If you mean the transaction, indeed, I can be called familiar with her." After a simple reply, Leslie turned the topic back again, "But I'm still quite surprised. Although the charge of assassinating you is Unnecessary, but it is said that she did cause a lot of trouble in the Abyss Sea God Realm, right? According to the nature of the mermaid tribe, I thought your tribe would be very happy to see her, like me, slowed down by the poison in this endless sea. Slowly tortured to death."

"She admitted those things, and she didn't do anything to me, so she doesn't need to stay at the bottom." Thiago's explanation was equally simple, but his tone became a little indifferent, like flowers under the frost, cold and heavy , impersonal.

"Is that so, even after you found out that you have been deceived by her for so many years? The kindness and gentleness of the mermaids are never prepared for the enemy, am I right?" Leslie pretended to be surprised, and then said with a smile , "So, the day I heard that she was about to be released from prison on parole, to be honest, I was quite worried about her. Then, my lord, is she still alive?"

"She's fine, you don't have to worry about it. She's only released on parole because she did meet the requirements."

"I understand."

Leslie bit the syllables slowly, and asked as if she had ulterior motives: "So, can she be regarded as the 'special'? After all, I think no matter it is the past, the present, or even the future, it will be good for you to be deceived like this , I'm afraid there will never be a second time, right?"

"Yes."

"Then how do you feel when you look back on the past now?"

"regret."

"About what?"

"A lot of things that should have been realized long ago have not been realized."

"Ha," he snorted, "but isn't it strange that you let her live anyway?"

"Aren't you still alive? What's so strange about that." Thiago stared at him lightly.

Hearing this, Leslie immediately burst out laughing: "Yes, yes, I'm still alive. But that's because you know that killing me directly is equivalent to fulfilling my wish. Only living is the best thing for me. torture."

"But she's different. I've heard a lot about the relationship between you and Miss Sea Witch. After all, it's so boring here. At that time, she and I could only chat with each other. Guess what happened?"

Satisfied to see that the expression on Tiago's face became more rigid, Leslie narrowed her eyes and said with great pleasure: "I think you only brought her out of the Fallen Garden for two reasons. Or, you want to deal with her personally, which would be more in line with the mermaid style. And before you came today, I was always inclined to this kind of speculation.

or..."

After deliberately pausing for a moment, he tried to approach her, but he was still restrained by the spirit seal and couldn't move: "You actually love her deeply, don't you?"

The moment these words were uttered, the entire space suddenly fell into silence. Even the endless sea seemed to have fallen asleep, and only the stars on the dome still existed.

And the angels who were originally staying in the monitoring room, ready to rush in if there was any trouble at the bottom, all fell into an indescribable daze after hearing this sentence.

"Did he just say something?" Ashley asked in a daze.

"I don't think I got it, but he obviously said something," Avis said.

"Maybe it's an unknown language. As you know, Rodriguez has existed for a long time, and may speak some languages ​​that are currently lost." Lucas tried to analyze.

Gabriel also looked at the picture in the crystal pool in astonishment, but after being shocked, it was more of a feeling of enlightenment.It seems that all the places that he couldn't figure out before, as long as they are substituted into this answer, they will be extraordinarily unimpeded.

But...is this possible?

He looked at the blond boy with a calm and calm face in the water, and suddenly hoped that he could open his mouth to refute.

However, after a brief silence, Thiago directly admitted lightly:

"Yes."

Leslie looked happier, like a hyena that smelled carrion, and was about to bite the opponent's exposed fatal weakness: "Yeah, that's how it should be, of course it can be seen. Mermaids never It is the most loyal race, they will protect their partners at all costs, and value their lover's life more than themselves. Therefore, even if you have become a sea god, you have lost the ability to empathize with other creatures, but you only maintain the ability to empathize with other creatures. Her feelings have become a god with a 'heart', even if you know that those are just her lies, how touching it is."

It was Leslie's favorite thing to make the other party feel the greatest pain by digging out the past that the other party least wanted to mention.Thiago is very aware of this, and he also cooperated with the subtle changes in his expression that he wanted to see.

After admiring the seemingly restrained yet extraordinarily precious loneliness on the young man's face in front of him, Leslie went further and further: "So, for you, the best time should be in the The days with her before those lies were shattered? Did you feel that you were really in love with each other at that time?"

"By the way, even though she never brought it up, and she definitely denied it when asked. However, I am still skeptical." As he spoke, his words became more aggressive and frivolous, full of malice, and he couldn't wait to see the words Blood, "Have you ever done it with her?"

Thiago calculated the opponent's state of mental power fluctuations at this time, and replied without changing his face: "Yes."

For the first time in their lives, the angels knew that they, the Sky Winged Clan, could be frightened like cats.They looked at each other around the crystal pool, wrapping themselves tightly with feathered wings, not knowing whether to avoid in time or continue to wait and see.

But the young man in the pool seemed to be calm and breezy.

The author has something to say: it will be updated normally this week, after all, I struggled to apply for the list.

Polar cold text, I am still so presumptuous to break the update, I am really a cruel person, huh...

This chapter can be regarded as a further characterization of Thiago, and so will the next chapter.

He is really a special... How to put it, everyone can experience it for themselves.
