How to become a sea witch
Chapter 59, Part fifty five
This was probably the time when Bernice fell into the deepest sleep in the decades since she became a sea witch.So much so that when she finally struggled out of the hangover and the remaining sticky drowsiness, her whole body was still in a state of uncontrollable disconnection, and her mind was also in chaos.
Where are you...
She reluctantly opened her eyes, her vision was blurred for a while before she could see her surroundings clearly, all she could see was a piece of frost and white, as if she was lying in the solidified moonlight.
Slightly moving her shoulders, Bernice supported her drowsy head and tried to get up, but was quickly embraced by a pair of slender arms wrapped around her waist at some point.
The familiar breath and the platinum-blonde long hair flowing along the water broke into Bernice's senses together. She let out a cry, and her body was flexibly turned into a supine posture, forced to hug and press down on her. own mermaid.
There is a lukewarm water flowing past the neck fossa, bringing a flustering itching sensation.Bernice opened her eyes wide and blinked. She was a little unsure if she was still dreaming, and she didn't even dare to say the other person's name until she felt something extremely soft and soft against her neck, intimate and gentle. Little by little, she carefully took care of her unconsciously taut skin.
The heart was like a morning bird that was suddenly awakened. It began to flutter chaotically and quickly, and even the voice of the mouth was a little changed: "Mian... Your Majesty?"
The mermaid who was called the respectful title raised her head and lightly touched the tip of the other's nose, stroking her cheek with her fingers: "Good morning."
"Good morning..." Bernice subconsciously repeated what he said, and then realized, "Why,? Why,? I'm here?"
She remembered that she was supposed to be at Rebecca's birthday party, like a devil ate a lot of extra thick cream ice cream, and then... After that, she really wanted to see Thiago...
"After you got drunk last night, you came to the observation center to find me, remember?" He seemed to be in a good mood, from the expression on his face to the gentle voice when he spoke, there was real warmth and a smile.
Bernice tried hard to recall what happened last night, and vaguely remembered that she seemed to have thought of some extremely wronged past, so she burst into tears and vented her emotions to Tiago, while grabbing his hand. The neat and straight white suit was scratched and rubbed like a rag, and wiped his tears.
If she could, she really wanted to kick that drunk milk ghost last night into the depths of the trench and never get up again.
Looking at the subtle expression changes on her face, Thiago knew that she had remembered, and the other party's appearance was clearly reflected in the blue eyes against the light: "You promised me that I would not go back on my word."
"I have no intention of going back on my word..." Bernice lowered her eyelashes guiltily.It's not that what she said was insincere, it's just that Tiago's reaction made her realize that she is indeed a repentant madman with extremely low credit value.
So, forcing herself to look him in the eye, she added, as frankly as possible, "Really."
It just took some time to get used to this kind of intimacy that she never thought would happen to her, especially with a mermaid that was impossible no matter how you looked at it.
Thinking of this, another more embarrassing question resurfaced in Bernice's mind:
Generally speaking, what should two... beings in this incredible relationship do?
God, I have no clue, it's hard to think, or else...
No, no, no, no, no, it can't be like this, she has made up her mind to change, so she can no longer live under the heavy shadow of the past like before.Not only for herself, but also for...
She looked at Tiago's exquisite face so close at hand, no matter how many times she looked at it, she would feel throbbing and amazed, and the clear blue from the other's eyes would drown her in at any time, and she could faintly hear it in her ears. The intense heartbeat came from his chest.
Looking at it this way, I actually have the potential to do great things, Bernice thought in a mess.Otherwise, how could she have dealt with this face before?
But then she felt something was wrong, if this was the case, then how could she have been so miserable before.
The brief distraction was interrupted by a slight pain on the lips.
Tiago lowered his head to hold her wet red lips, deliberately bit the tips of his teeth without much effort, then kissed her with pity, and replied with a sigh: "I believe you."
As he spoke, he put his arms around Bernice's waist and hugged her, and fixed her fluttering hair: "Are you hungry? I asked Chao Ling to prepare some food you like."
She nodded, trying to maintain the same expression on her face, actually trying to hold back the useless movement of trying to test the temperature of her cheeks with the back of her hand.
A soft kiss landed between Bernice's eyebrows, and then a hand stretched out in front of her: "Come on."
Different from the luxurious and deserted atmosphere in the past, when Bernice was led into the hall by the other party, she immediately noticed that the environment here seemed to be somewhat different from before.
Those who came and went busy adding all kinds of decorations and serving breakfast were many sea wave elves who looked very similar to Chao Ling.Seeing Bernice's appearance, not only were they not surprised why the sea witch was here, but they also saluted her very naturally, and then quickly opened the chair by the dining table for her.
In my impression, according to the common etiquette of the Sea Clan, this seat is usually reserved for the hostess.
She hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to sit somewhere else, but before she could move, Thiago hugged her shoulders very naturally, pressed her down gently, and by the way, put a plate of crystal-clear precious sea water The breath bead was placed in front of her.
Then, the sea wave elves retreated in unison, and continued to work in other places quickly and silently.
They held large groups of colorful flowers and seaweeds in their hands, and put them in each crystal bottle in the hall, followed by many exquisitely shaped spar vessels, beautiful curtains made of deep-sea pearls, and finally And roses from land.
It was bright red, blooming wantonly like a flame.
When they were placed so close to the sea god's totem, Bernice could no longer convince herself that the resemblance between the two was just her illusion.
"Speaking of it." She put down the silver fork in her hand, looked at the flowers and totems, and then at Tiago, "The totem of the sea god is indeed a rose, isn't it?"
Unexpectedly, she would mention this suddenly. After being slightly surprised for a moment, Thiago quickly nodded with a smile: "That's right."
Looking at the pleasing and spacious hall with more and more rose elements after the ingenious decoration by the sea wave elves, she asked for the first time, "Is it because you like roses so much?"
Otherwise, she couldn't figure out why Thiago would directly choose the sea god totem, which symbolized the absolute authority of himself and the sea god, as this kind of flower that can be seen everywhere on land.
What's more important is the layout here.Compared with the overly streamlined and neutral style of the past, it looks more biased now... Although it may be a bit weird to say so, it does look more like it is prepared for a lively and bright girl.
Especially those newly added flowers, jewels, decorations and various utensils, without exception, weakened the original cold atmosphere of the whole palace a lot, and replaced it with a kind of warmth and luxury visible to the naked eye.
Rose is the absolute main character in this.
After hearing this question, Thiago was silent for a moment, then smiled indifferently, and only calmly explained: "That's right. You once took me to a human town to participate in their competition during the Full Moon Festival. Remember the holiday ball?"
This was so far ago that when Tiago mentioned it again, Bernice's memory was completely blank.Immediately afterwards, she recalled the memory of Tiago she saw in the magic mirror, and then slowly remembered some vague details: "Is it the first time you saw the real appearance of flowers?" ?”
"Correct."
He said, put the peeled crystal crab meat in front of Bernice, wiped the marks on the thin blade with his fingertips, put it aside, and interlocked his hands: "At that time, what you threw at me was Rose." [1]
So he chose this flower as his totem.
Because at that moment, it was the moment of his self-emotional recovery, and everything was gradually resurrected in his eyes, and it was also the starting point of his existence as Thiago.
Even for Bernice, choosing Rose was just a coincidence that she no longer remembered.
This realization made Bernice a little guilty, and before she had time to think about what to say, a rush of fine water brushed her skin like a breeze.Then Chao Ling appeared, holding a sound-transmitting seashell in her hand, saying that there was an urgent message from Gabriel.
After listening for a while, Bernice realized that it was a report about the hunt for Wyatt.But what surprised her most was that this operation by the security guard failed.
"He seemed to know in advance where we would ambush, so all we encountered were traps, but we didn't find him," Gabriel said.
"Grandel was arrested, he will guess that our plan is normal." Thiago said without surprise, and asked, "Is everyone okay?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's all right. It's just that... there are not enough tracking clues for the time being."
After Gabriel finished speaking, he paused and continued to add: "The security department will step up their investigation in the past few days. If there is any new news, I will report it to you immediately."
"Thanks for your hard work."
After watching the sound-transmitting seashell slowly close, Bernice frowned unconsciously, turned to Tiago and asked: "Then do you want to go to the trial of Grendel again? We currently have nothing but He has no other sources of information."
After listening to her words, Thiago shook his head slightly: "It's not enough now."
"why?"
"He is dead."
Bernice was quite surprised by this answer, and even a little unresponsive by the other party's overly bland tone.
After eating a dozen blue crabs in front of her in a row, she finally raised her head again, looked at the blond mermaid who was skillfully peeling off the shrimp shells beside her, and asked cautiously, "Did he offend you?"
Thiago was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant, and smiled helplessly: "What kind of image do I have in your eyes?"
Bernice, "...ah, this."
Seeing her guiltily look away immediately, and quickly lowered her head and stuffed her mouth with conch meat to pretend to be speechless, Thiago watched her quietly for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pinch her stuffed round cheek, forcing She looked at herself with wide eyes: "what did you think of me before?"
He has actually thought about this question for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to ask it so naturally and straightforwardly as today.
The question that triggered the desire to survive too much made Bernice couldn't help but start to think with inertial thinking. She pulled out a bunch of beautiful words that the other party obviously didn't like to hear, and finally swallowed them with conch meat. He replied with a sentence: "Looking at it means... I think you are good-looking."
It can be seen that what she said is indeed not a lie, but it is too far from Thiago's expected answer.
He blinked slowly, repeating as if puzzled: "Good-looking?"
"...Mmm." Bernice grabbed a crab leg and bit it in her mouth, her eyes couldn't help but wander.
After two seconds of silence, he smiled gently as usual, and asked again: "Better than those gemstones and pearls in your collection?"
This problem is too terrible.
Bernice's pupils trembled for a moment, and she replied in an erratic tone: "Well, I used to think...in fact, it should be about the same."
"what about now?"
"Now...I, but before you asked clearly just now."
Knowing that she is willing to give such an answer is not easy, so even though she still has some regrets, Thiago has no intention of continuing to force her. He just leans closer to the other party and kisses her, which is still tainted with the sweet breath of sea breath beads corner of his mouth: "When you finish eating, I'll show you something, it's about Grendel."
"it is good."
Soon, after breakfast, Bernice followed Thiago to the observation center and saw the last record of Grendel before his death.
Ever since the figure that did not belong to her memory but had exactly the same appearance as her appeared, Bernice's complexion became particularly ugly.After witnessing her torturing and killing Grendel, she lightly threw a kiss to the all-seeing eye above her head, and then calmly left the detention room, Bernice still didn't see her eyes from the crystal pool. Move away from the screen.
After a while, she finally came back to her senses: "Can you zoom in on this place?"
She refers to the other Bernice's neck in the picture.
Thiago knew her guess, so while zooming in on the picture, he took the initiative to explain: "It is indeed what you think, and I was surprised when I saw it."
Because what Bernice wore on her neck was also an ice-blue fish scale, exactly the same as her own.
"But, that's why I can freely enter and exit the detention room, right?" Bernice touched the fish scale pendant on her neck unconsciously while speaking, and the familiar cold and smooth touch came from her fingertips, making her In the already air-conditioned hall, I felt a chill down my spine, "Why can she do it too? Could it be... She's wearing that, isn't it fake?"
But if it wasn't fake... how did she get that fish scale?
"And here."
Thiago reached out and swiped lightly on the water surface, and the picture quickly shattered in the ripple diffusion, and then recondensed into shape:
When the time came to midnight, Bernice's figure appeared again.
From the moment she entered the detention room, she searched room by room, until she came to the room where Grendel was.
"You see, although she knows the location of the detention room, unlike your state, this impostor obviously doesn't know the exact location where Grendel is being held, so she looks for it room by room." Yago analyzed, "This shows that she has not fully grasped our information. At least, all the creatures who know exactly where Grendel is being held can be temporarily excluded from suspicion."
"But that necklace she's wearing..."
Bernice couldn't convince herself to ignore this: "Why would she have it?"
"About this point, I have also thought about it carefully."
Thiago said: "It is true that I never gave it to any creature other than you. But it makes sense to think of other things that happened when I gave it to you."
"whats the matter?"
"This is actually not the one I gave you for the first time, is it?"
"But the first time that was already..."
In the middle of Bernice's speech, she suddenly realized: "The scale was lost when I was fighting with the magic mirror, and then you said to give me another one... So, what you mean is that it was lost at the beginning. The fish scale in Kamchatka was actually picked up by her?"【2】
But in that case, doesn't that mean that the impostor has actually been following them?
This conjecture was so terrifying that Bernice felt a little unbelievable.But Thiago seemed to accept it calmly: "This is the only possible explanation."
That's right, as long as you don't suspect her, this is indeed the only explanation.Bernice looked at the picture in the crystal pool, blinked, and then looked at the blond sea god next to her. For the first time, she realized very clearly that she was trusted wholeheartedly by someone, even if all the clues so far were Very bad for her.
After erasing the picture in the pool to nothing, Thiago sat on the sofa and clasped his hands: "But what I can't figure out is another point. She had already disguised you as you and sneaked into the detention room at that time, but Why just kill Grendel and leave?"
After being awakened by him, Bernice also quickly realized that something was wrong with this matter: "Yeah, it's all mixed in. Shouldn't the matter be made bigger and bigger, so that it will be more detrimental to me?"
But looking at the imposter, it seemed that she just wanted her actions to be recorded by the all-seeing eye, and she didn't take any further actions.
This behavior is very strange, and even somewhat like a temptation.
But what exactly the other party wanted to test, Bernice was not sure, but had a vague feeling that perhaps more similar things would erupt one after another in the future.
She closed her eyes, sighed, and felt her hand being held by a familiar temperature pack.
"don’t worry."
Thiago told her, with a reassurance that one couldn't help but depend on: "We're in this together."
"Hmm..." Bernice responded almost silently, while gently holding the other party.
……
As the Cheshire Cat said, the rain really lasted for three full days, and then the sky gradually cleared up.
Although I don't know where the Cheshire Cat's news about the weather changes comes from, but after being verified by reality many times, Bernice has reason to suspect that he heard it from Rebecca Secondhand news.
As for the first-hand source, don't even think about it, Gabriel must have told Rebecca.
It's hard to imagine how a solemn and indifferent Archangel carefully told a human girl to pay attention to the weather changes.
If there is a chance, she really wants to watch it live.
Thinking of this, Bernice, who was blinded by the scorching sun just out of the sea, chose to teleport ashore, and took a shortcut to the jungle bar.
Pushing open the door and walking into the hall, sitting in the corner where I am used to, looking curiously at the update menu in front of me.A somewhat familiar soft female voice suddenly sounded in front of her: "Hello, what do you need?"
"A glass of lime special..." She raised her head as she spoke, and was slightly taken aback when she saw the new waiter in front of her, "Is that you?"
The girl they rescued from Wyatt, if I remember correctly, her name should be Sabrina, right?
Sabrina, who was lowering her head to register the table number, raised her head when she heard the sound. After seeing who the girl in front of her was, her face immediately turned pale, and she even took a few steps back with the notebook in her hand, her face full of horror. , as if she had seen some ferocious ghost that frightened her so much.
What a familiar expression, this is the reaction that normal people should have when they see themselves.
Bernice blinked, lowered her head nonchalantly, pretended to continue looking at the menu in her hand, and said in a flat tone: "Go and tell Rebecca that this table is mine, and she will know what I want. By the way, you The dress is beautiful."
Although it was different from what she wore when I first saw her, it was in line with Bernice's own aesthetics.
"Okay...Okay." She responded hastily, her footsteps and voice were trembling uncontrollably, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as running for her life when she turned to leave.
Not long after, Rebecca came over with Bernice's most commonly ordered cold drink and a sea urchin as a bonus: "Sorry, Sabrina was recently introduced by Troy from the security department. But she's always been a little bit easily spooked because of something in the past."
"I can see it, but I can't completely blame her." Bernice nodded understandingly, and took a sip of the drink in front of her.
The beautiful color, which is clear to blue and emerald, reminds her of Thiago's eyes for no reason.
When did he become such a demon with such a rich imagination?
She blinked guiltily, and turned her attention to the sea urchin meat beside her.
"Speaking of which, has the activity of the latitude hole become more and more frequent recently?"
Rebecca was referring to the incident that the image of the original world reappeared in the sky yesterday evening.Although it was calmed down quickly and did not cause any serious consequences like the last time, it still made many creatures from the original world living here feel uneasy.
"That's true. Your Majesty, they are also busy with this matter recently." Bernice replied.
She remembered that when she saw Thiago in the middle of the night last night, she was frightened by the other party's extremely tired and weak state.Although Chao Ling explained that this was only temporary, caused by the division of divine power back into the main body, Bernice stayed in the palace and guarded him all night.
"Does that mean we won't be able to stay in this new world anytime soon?" Rebecca looked quite worried, "I tried to ask Gabriel, but he refused to tell me more, just Let me not worry too much. But... we will return to the original world after all, right?"
This remark made Bernice a little confused: "Isn't it good to go back to the original world? There are more familiar environments and friends there, aren't there?"
Rebecca was silent for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly, but there was no joy in her clear eyes, only strong sadness: "Yes, we should all be happy, who wouldn't want to go home? "
Only those who have a family would think so.
But this topic did make Bernice aware of a very serious problem, that is, once they all returned to the original world, she would probably be homeless, because she didn't have one in the first place.
Not to mention, the news of her release from prison may have already spread throughout the entire Yuanhai God Territory.I really don't know what kind of tragic scene she will face when she returns to the ocean.
Maybe a new crime was born just like this—the crime of blasphemy for tempting the sea god to wash away his past crimes.
Objectively speaking, this definitely sounds more irritating than the previous crime of killing gods.
Bernice bit the fresh and sweet sea urchin in her mouth, and scratched her hair. Unknowingly, she seemed to have embarked on an extremely shocking path that she had never imagined.
Looking at the sad look on Rebecca's face, Bernice couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried about something?"
A long silence settled in the air, and Bernice began to reflect on whether she should ask this question that was obviously touching the other person's scar, although her starting point was just to try to see if it could help.
Just when she was about to apologize for asking too many questions, Rebecca suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashed with a strange brightness she had never seen before: "Bernese is a sea witch, right, she can make any wish come true for anyone sea witch."
"What do you want to say?" Her state made Bernice instinctively vigilant.
Bernice was very familiar with the look of longing for something that she had seen on countless human faces, but she never thought that it would appear on the girl in front of her.
In my impression, Rebecca is always tolerant and gentle, she is willing to think from the perspective of the other party when encountering any situation, and treats everyone around her so sincerely and kindly.
Even in this new world, besides Tiago, she is the first human being who expresses friendship and acceptance to Bernice.
It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful and pure person would ask Bernice about her desires with opening remarks similar to those of the greedy traders in the past.
"If... I mean, if..." She looked disturbed, but that didn't affect the firmness in her eyes, "Will humans be able to live as long as heaven... no, like elves, and keep their faces unchanged?" Woolen cloth?"
"Humans have the lifespan of elves?" Bernice repeated in surprise, not understanding why the other party suddenly became obsessed with immortality.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of absurd idea should appear in the minds of those in the ruling class.
"I know that you need to pay a huge price to make a deal with you, not to mention that my idea is so unrealistic, I know it. It's just...is there such a possibility?" She still looked at Bernice, even There is also a fragile hope.
"Since you know, why..."
In the middle of her speech, she suddenly stopped, and then she realized: "Is it because of the Archangel?"
The moment she heard this address, Rebecca shrank slightly as if she had been stabbed by something, her eyelashes were half-down, covering all the light in her eyes, she nodded slowly, and stopped talking.
After a while, she laughed again, which was completely different from the gentleness and agility she used to. It was more like crying, and she squeezed her hands nervously: "It's a wishful thinking, right, I know, it's ridiculous."
Maybe it's because she has always been very kind to herself. Even though Bernice doesn't think she is a sympathetic monster, she still can't help but feel sympathetic and sad for her: "Not really. I think, instead Anyone would think so."
"So, is it possible?" Rebecca looked at her without blinking.
The sunlight falling into her eyes inexplicably reminded Bernice of candlelight at night, surrounded by moths that were burned to ashes.
Use the straw to swirl the drink in the glass a few times, and listen to the crisp clinking sound of the ice cubes hitting the glass.Bernice finally let go of her hand, and sincerely warned the other party: "I am not a good trading partner, Rebecca. In fact, it is not just me, nor is any devil. We never do business at a loss, and what you lose will definitely be worse than You get so much more, that's the nature of the devil's deal."
She could understand what Rebecca was thinking.
After all, as long as she thinks about herself and Thiago, she can fully understand.
I have to say that the insurmountable distance is really a terrible thing.
but,
"My answer is, never try to make a deal with a demon."
This is her most sincere advice.
"Can……"
Before Rebecca finished speaking, a chaotic commotion suddenly came from downstairs, followed by the sound of countless glass being smashed, and various shrill screams interspersed with it.
"What happened?" Rebecca stood up blankly, seeing that Bernice had quickly disappeared in place.
The hall on the first floor was in a mess at this time, with running drinks everywhere, broken sharp glass, broken tables and chairs, and scorched black and hideous cracks on the wall.
No one noticed when this strange man in a black cloak appeared, but when he pulled out the two short spears on his back and cut off the neck of Jack of Hearts who came forward to ask him what he needed, the whole Strong turmoil erupted immediately in the dense forest bar.
The three goblins with a violent temper were the first to react, but their attack was completely harmless to the cloaked monster, and he was chopped into pieces by the sharp weapon in his hand without even a chance to return the phone.
His purpose is very strong, and he is not disturbed by the attacks of other irrelevant personnel at all.After inspecting the faces of various creatures in the bar, he quickly locked his attention on Sabrina who was shivering in a corner.
Against the light, Sabrina could only see a huge black shadow gradually walking towards her, stepping on countless glass shards and the shattered corpses of goblins, stepping over the head of Jack of Hearts with a frozen final expression, so sharp that The piercing voice of horror was getting closer and closer.
She tried to attack the opponent to defend herself, but she didn't know if it was because she was too nervous, no matter how many times she silently recited the light mantra she had already mastered by heart, raised her arm and pointed at the opponent tremblingly, nothing happened.
"How could this be, how could it be..." Sabrina looked at her hand in disbelief, her mind went blank, completely enveloped by the dark shadow of the killer approaching her, her face and lips were pale and lifeless, The pupils shrank to a small point because of the extreme fright.
The sharp blade was lifted above her head, the air and the blood in her body were frozen together, and even time was stretched into a thread at that moment, twisted tightly around her thin neck that was about to be broken.
She saw clearly the face of the butcher who was coming towards her.
He has a pair of fish eyes, cold and cloudy, protruding from the eye sockets, covered with a translucent white membrane, and below the jawbone are three scar-like gills.
The next second, when the blade was about to strike Sabrina's head, a gray-white bone blade hovered steadily between the blade and Sabrina's skin.
Immediately afterwards, Bernice lifted his blade away with one hand, raised her foot and kicked him violently.
The butcher was caught off guard by being kicked in the weak cheek, and took a few steps back slightly staggering.When he looked at the black-haired girl who suddenly appeared again, his eyes rolled strangely, but without any hesitation, he quickly shifted his attack target to her.
It had to be admitted that the butcher in front of him was not much inferior to Bernice in terms of fighting skills.
After dodging a series of nearly seamless continuous attacks from the opponent, Bernice jumped onto the crumbling counter, and took advantage of the moment when he stabbed herself with the short spear in his hand, and stepped on the short spear with light movements. the tip of his spear, locking the movement of his right hand.
The bone blade turned half a circle in her hand, squatted down and swung it, accurately blocking the attack from the butcher's left hand, and instantly shook the short spear out of the opponent's hand with extremely strong force.
The girl who was squatting lightly and firmly in front of his eyes like a black cat just now disappeared in front of the butcher out of thin air.Immediately afterwards, Bernice quickly appeared behind the butcher, with the bone blade clinging to his neck.
However, such a threat did not make him give up resistance immediately. On the contrary, he took the risk of his throat being cut at any time, stopped Bernice's hand holding the bone blade with one hand, and at the same time drew out the short spear pierced into the counter and pointed at her. Slash across.
Sensing his intentions, Bernice immediately backed away, and the flying black hair was cut off by the sharp short spear, fell into the puddles everywhere on the ground, and sank slowly.
I hope Rebecca has a good habit of keeping accounts, so that she can quickly calculate how much compensation is due to this madman.
A large piece of dark green flames burned from the soles of the feet, and the water that was originally scattered and flowing on the ground gradually condensed around Bernice, and soon turned into countless alive vines, blocking and strangling the butcher.
In the face of the absolute disparity in magic power, he was quickly surrounded by clusters of crazily growing waters, unable to fight back. In the end, he could only be trapped and kneel on the ground, unable to move.
Bernice walked over, her light green eyes became extraordinarily bright with the burning of magic power.She raised the man's jaw with a bone blade, forced him to look directly into her eyes, and asked, "Who sent you here?"
The butcher with a pair of strange fish eyes did not answer, but smiled coldly at her, and his distorted face suddenly became more terrifying.He twitched and roared, his whole body melted into a shocking pile of bones and carrion in the blink of an eye.
"Death curse." The Cheshire cat crawled out of the chandelier, stared at the wreckage on the ground and opened its mouth with a strange smile, "It seems that this is just a puppet sent to perform a mission, and his master obviously doesn't want others to know own identity."
"Thank you for the explanation. I think I'll be more impressed with you if you don't hide in the chandelier in fear like this next time."
Bernice frowned and said, while looking back at Sabrina who was being hugged and softly comforted by Rebecca, she suddenly felt a little puzzled:
Why did the butcher look like he couldn't wait to kill her?
Could it be related to Wyatt and the impostor who appeared in the cell?
Does that mean that, in fact, Sabrina also knows some secrets about them, so she is regarded as the object that must be killed?
Before she could decide whether to go over and ask, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What... what happened here?"
Troy, who had just folded his wings and landed, looked at the devastation in the bar, and couldn't react for a while, and his surprise was written all over his face.
"It's closed here." Bernice
Where are you...
She reluctantly opened her eyes, her vision was blurred for a while before she could see her surroundings clearly, all she could see was a piece of frost and white, as if she was lying in the solidified moonlight.
Slightly moving her shoulders, Bernice supported her drowsy head and tried to get up, but was quickly embraced by a pair of slender arms wrapped around her waist at some point.
The familiar breath and the platinum-blonde long hair flowing along the water broke into Bernice's senses together. She let out a cry, and her body was flexibly turned into a supine posture, forced to hug and press down on her. own mermaid.
There is a lukewarm water flowing past the neck fossa, bringing a flustering itching sensation.Bernice opened her eyes wide and blinked. She was a little unsure if she was still dreaming, and she didn't even dare to say the other person's name until she felt something extremely soft and soft against her neck, intimate and gentle. Little by little, she carefully took care of her unconsciously taut skin.
The heart was like a morning bird that was suddenly awakened. It began to flutter chaotically and quickly, and even the voice of the mouth was a little changed: "Mian... Your Majesty?"
The mermaid who was called the respectful title raised her head and lightly touched the tip of the other's nose, stroking her cheek with her fingers: "Good morning."
"Good morning..." Bernice subconsciously repeated what he said, and then realized, "Why,? Why,? I'm here?"
She remembered that she was supposed to be at Rebecca's birthday party, like a devil ate a lot of extra thick cream ice cream, and then... After that, she really wanted to see Thiago...
"After you got drunk last night, you came to the observation center to find me, remember?" He seemed to be in a good mood, from the expression on his face to the gentle voice when he spoke, there was real warmth and a smile.
Bernice tried hard to recall what happened last night, and vaguely remembered that she seemed to have thought of some extremely wronged past, so she burst into tears and vented her emotions to Tiago, while grabbing his hand. The neat and straight white suit was scratched and rubbed like a rag, and wiped his tears.
If she could, she really wanted to kick that drunk milk ghost last night into the depths of the trench and never get up again.
Looking at the subtle expression changes on her face, Thiago knew that she had remembered, and the other party's appearance was clearly reflected in the blue eyes against the light: "You promised me that I would not go back on my word."
"I have no intention of going back on my word..." Bernice lowered her eyelashes guiltily.It's not that what she said was insincere, it's just that Tiago's reaction made her realize that she is indeed a repentant madman with extremely low credit value.
So, forcing herself to look him in the eye, she added, as frankly as possible, "Really."
It just took some time to get used to this kind of intimacy that she never thought would happen to her, especially with a mermaid that was impossible no matter how you looked at it.
Thinking of this, another more embarrassing question resurfaced in Bernice's mind:
Generally speaking, what should two... beings in this incredible relationship do?
God, I have no clue, it's hard to think, or else...
No, no, no, no, no, it can't be like this, she has made up her mind to change, so she can no longer live under the heavy shadow of the past like before.Not only for herself, but also for...
She looked at Tiago's exquisite face so close at hand, no matter how many times she looked at it, she would feel throbbing and amazed, and the clear blue from the other's eyes would drown her in at any time, and she could faintly hear it in her ears. The intense heartbeat came from his chest.
Looking at it this way, I actually have the potential to do great things, Bernice thought in a mess.Otherwise, how could she have dealt with this face before?
But then she felt something was wrong, if this was the case, then how could she have been so miserable before.
The brief distraction was interrupted by a slight pain on the lips.
Tiago lowered his head to hold her wet red lips, deliberately bit the tips of his teeth without much effort, then kissed her with pity, and replied with a sigh: "I believe you."
As he spoke, he put his arms around Bernice's waist and hugged her, and fixed her fluttering hair: "Are you hungry? I asked Chao Ling to prepare some food you like."
She nodded, trying to maintain the same expression on her face, actually trying to hold back the useless movement of trying to test the temperature of her cheeks with the back of her hand.
A soft kiss landed between Bernice's eyebrows, and then a hand stretched out in front of her: "Come on."
Different from the luxurious and deserted atmosphere in the past, when Bernice was led into the hall by the other party, she immediately noticed that the environment here seemed to be somewhat different from before.
Those who came and went busy adding all kinds of decorations and serving breakfast were many sea wave elves who looked very similar to Chao Ling.Seeing Bernice's appearance, not only were they not surprised why the sea witch was here, but they also saluted her very naturally, and then quickly opened the chair by the dining table for her.
In my impression, according to the common etiquette of the Sea Clan, this seat is usually reserved for the hostess.
She hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to sit somewhere else, but before she could move, Thiago hugged her shoulders very naturally, pressed her down gently, and by the way, put a plate of crystal-clear precious sea water The breath bead was placed in front of her.
Then, the sea wave elves retreated in unison, and continued to work in other places quickly and silently.
They held large groups of colorful flowers and seaweeds in their hands, and put them in each crystal bottle in the hall, followed by many exquisitely shaped spar vessels, beautiful curtains made of deep-sea pearls, and finally And roses from land.
It was bright red, blooming wantonly like a flame.
When they were placed so close to the sea god's totem, Bernice could no longer convince herself that the resemblance between the two was just her illusion.
"Speaking of it." She put down the silver fork in her hand, looked at the flowers and totems, and then at Tiago, "The totem of the sea god is indeed a rose, isn't it?"
Unexpectedly, she would mention this suddenly. After being slightly surprised for a moment, Thiago quickly nodded with a smile: "That's right."
Looking at the pleasing and spacious hall with more and more rose elements after the ingenious decoration by the sea wave elves, she asked for the first time, "Is it because you like roses so much?"
Otherwise, she couldn't figure out why Thiago would directly choose the sea god totem, which symbolized the absolute authority of himself and the sea god, as this kind of flower that can be seen everywhere on land.
What's more important is the layout here.Compared with the overly streamlined and neutral style of the past, it looks more biased now... Although it may be a bit weird to say so, it does look more like it is prepared for a lively and bright girl.
Especially those newly added flowers, jewels, decorations and various utensils, without exception, weakened the original cold atmosphere of the whole palace a lot, and replaced it with a kind of warmth and luxury visible to the naked eye.
Rose is the absolute main character in this.
After hearing this question, Thiago was silent for a moment, then smiled indifferently, and only calmly explained: "That's right. You once took me to a human town to participate in their competition during the Full Moon Festival. Remember the holiday ball?"
This was so far ago that when Tiago mentioned it again, Bernice's memory was completely blank.Immediately afterwards, she recalled the memory of Tiago she saw in the magic mirror, and then slowly remembered some vague details: "Is it the first time you saw the real appearance of flowers?" ?”
"Correct."
He said, put the peeled crystal crab meat in front of Bernice, wiped the marks on the thin blade with his fingertips, put it aside, and interlocked his hands: "At that time, what you threw at me was Rose." [1]
So he chose this flower as his totem.
Because at that moment, it was the moment of his self-emotional recovery, and everything was gradually resurrected in his eyes, and it was also the starting point of his existence as Thiago.
Even for Bernice, choosing Rose was just a coincidence that she no longer remembered.
This realization made Bernice a little guilty, and before she had time to think about what to say, a rush of fine water brushed her skin like a breeze.Then Chao Ling appeared, holding a sound-transmitting seashell in her hand, saying that there was an urgent message from Gabriel.
After listening for a while, Bernice realized that it was a report about the hunt for Wyatt.But what surprised her most was that this operation by the security guard failed.
"He seemed to know in advance where we would ambush, so all we encountered were traps, but we didn't find him," Gabriel said.
"Grandel was arrested, he will guess that our plan is normal." Thiago said without surprise, and asked, "Is everyone okay?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's all right. It's just that... there are not enough tracking clues for the time being."
After Gabriel finished speaking, he paused and continued to add: "The security department will step up their investigation in the past few days. If there is any new news, I will report it to you immediately."
"Thanks for your hard work."
After watching the sound-transmitting seashell slowly close, Bernice frowned unconsciously, turned to Tiago and asked: "Then do you want to go to the trial of Grendel again? We currently have nothing but He has no other sources of information."
After listening to her words, Thiago shook his head slightly: "It's not enough now."
"why?"
"He is dead."
Bernice was quite surprised by this answer, and even a little unresponsive by the other party's overly bland tone.
After eating a dozen blue crabs in front of her in a row, she finally raised her head again, looked at the blond mermaid who was skillfully peeling off the shrimp shells beside her, and asked cautiously, "Did he offend you?"
Thiago was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant, and smiled helplessly: "What kind of image do I have in your eyes?"
Bernice, "...ah, this."
Seeing her guiltily look away immediately, and quickly lowered her head and stuffed her mouth with conch meat to pretend to be speechless, Thiago watched her quietly for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pinch her stuffed round cheek, forcing She looked at herself with wide eyes: "what did you think of me before?"
He has actually thought about this question for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to ask it so naturally and straightforwardly as today.
The question that triggered the desire to survive too much made Bernice couldn't help but start to think with inertial thinking. She pulled out a bunch of beautiful words that the other party obviously didn't like to hear, and finally swallowed them with conch meat. He replied with a sentence: "Looking at it means... I think you are good-looking."
It can be seen that what she said is indeed not a lie, but it is too far from Thiago's expected answer.
He blinked slowly, repeating as if puzzled: "Good-looking?"
"...Mmm." Bernice grabbed a crab leg and bit it in her mouth, her eyes couldn't help but wander.
After two seconds of silence, he smiled gently as usual, and asked again: "Better than those gemstones and pearls in your collection?"
This problem is too terrible.
Bernice's pupils trembled for a moment, and she replied in an erratic tone: "Well, I used to think...in fact, it should be about the same."
"what about now?"
"Now...I, but before you asked clearly just now."
Knowing that she is willing to give such an answer is not easy, so even though she still has some regrets, Thiago has no intention of continuing to force her. He just leans closer to the other party and kisses her, which is still tainted with the sweet breath of sea breath beads corner of his mouth: "When you finish eating, I'll show you something, it's about Grendel."
"it is good."
Soon, after breakfast, Bernice followed Thiago to the observation center and saw the last record of Grendel before his death.
Ever since the figure that did not belong to her memory but had exactly the same appearance as her appeared, Bernice's complexion became particularly ugly.After witnessing her torturing and killing Grendel, she lightly threw a kiss to the all-seeing eye above her head, and then calmly left the detention room, Bernice still didn't see her eyes from the crystal pool. Move away from the screen.
After a while, she finally came back to her senses: "Can you zoom in on this place?"
She refers to the other Bernice's neck in the picture.
Thiago knew her guess, so while zooming in on the picture, he took the initiative to explain: "It is indeed what you think, and I was surprised when I saw it."
Because what Bernice wore on her neck was also an ice-blue fish scale, exactly the same as her own.
"But, that's why I can freely enter and exit the detention room, right?" Bernice touched the fish scale pendant on her neck unconsciously while speaking, and the familiar cold and smooth touch came from her fingertips, making her In the already air-conditioned hall, I felt a chill down my spine, "Why can she do it too? Could it be... She's wearing that, isn't it fake?"
But if it wasn't fake... how did she get that fish scale?
"And here."
Thiago reached out and swiped lightly on the water surface, and the picture quickly shattered in the ripple diffusion, and then recondensed into shape:
When the time came to midnight, Bernice's figure appeared again.
From the moment she entered the detention room, she searched room by room, until she came to the room where Grendel was.
"You see, although she knows the location of the detention room, unlike your state, this impostor obviously doesn't know the exact location where Grendel is being held, so she looks for it room by room." Yago analyzed, "This shows that she has not fully grasped our information. At least, all the creatures who know exactly where Grendel is being held can be temporarily excluded from suspicion."
"But that necklace she's wearing..."
Bernice couldn't convince herself to ignore this: "Why would she have it?"
"About this point, I have also thought about it carefully."
Thiago said: "It is true that I never gave it to any creature other than you. But it makes sense to think of other things that happened when I gave it to you."
"whats the matter?"
"This is actually not the one I gave you for the first time, is it?"
"But the first time that was already..."
In the middle of Bernice's speech, she suddenly realized: "The scale was lost when I was fighting with the magic mirror, and then you said to give me another one... So, what you mean is that it was lost at the beginning. The fish scale in Kamchatka was actually picked up by her?"【2】
But in that case, doesn't that mean that the impostor has actually been following them?
This conjecture was so terrifying that Bernice felt a little unbelievable.But Thiago seemed to accept it calmly: "This is the only possible explanation."
That's right, as long as you don't suspect her, this is indeed the only explanation.Bernice looked at the picture in the crystal pool, blinked, and then looked at the blond sea god next to her. For the first time, she realized very clearly that she was trusted wholeheartedly by someone, even if all the clues so far were Very bad for her.
After erasing the picture in the pool to nothing, Thiago sat on the sofa and clasped his hands: "But what I can't figure out is another point. She had already disguised you as you and sneaked into the detention room at that time, but Why just kill Grendel and leave?"
After being awakened by him, Bernice also quickly realized that something was wrong with this matter: "Yeah, it's all mixed in. Shouldn't the matter be made bigger and bigger, so that it will be more detrimental to me?"
But looking at the imposter, it seemed that she just wanted her actions to be recorded by the all-seeing eye, and she didn't take any further actions.
This behavior is very strange, and even somewhat like a temptation.
But what exactly the other party wanted to test, Bernice was not sure, but had a vague feeling that perhaps more similar things would erupt one after another in the future.
She closed her eyes, sighed, and felt her hand being held by a familiar temperature pack.
"don’t worry."
Thiago told her, with a reassurance that one couldn't help but depend on: "We're in this together."
"Hmm..." Bernice responded almost silently, while gently holding the other party.
……
As the Cheshire Cat said, the rain really lasted for three full days, and then the sky gradually cleared up.
Although I don't know where the Cheshire Cat's news about the weather changes comes from, but after being verified by reality many times, Bernice has reason to suspect that he heard it from Rebecca Secondhand news.
As for the first-hand source, don't even think about it, Gabriel must have told Rebecca.
It's hard to imagine how a solemn and indifferent Archangel carefully told a human girl to pay attention to the weather changes.
If there is a chance, she really wants to watch it live.
Thinking of this, Bernice, who was blinded by the scorching sun just out of the sea, chose to teleport ashore, and took a shortcut to the jungle bar.
Pushing open the door and walking into the hall, sitting in the corner where I am used to, looking curiously at the update menu in front of me.A somewhat familiar soft female voice suddenly sounded in front of her: "Hello, what do you need?"
"A glass of lime special..." She raised her head as she spoke, and was slightly taken aback when she saw the new waiter in front of her, "Is that you?"
The girl they rescued from Wyatt, if I remember correctly, her name should be Sabrina, right?
Sabrina, who was lowering her head to register the table number, raised her head when she heard the sound. After seeing who the girl in front of her was, her face immediately turned pale, and she even took a few steps back with the notebook in her hand, her face full of horror. , as if she had seen some ferocious ghost that frightened her so much.
What a familiar expression, this is the reaction that normal people should have when they see themselves.
Bernice blinked, lowered her head nonchalantly, pretended to continue looking at the menu in her hand, and said in a flat tone: "Go and tell Rebecca that this table is mine, and she will know what I want. By the way, you The dress is beautiful."
Although it was different from what she wore when I first saw her, it was in line with Bernice's own aesthetics.
"Okay...Okay." She responded hastily, her footsteps and voice were trembling uncontrollably, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as running for her life when she turned to leave.
Not long after, Rebecca came over with Bernice's most commonly ordered cold drink and a sea urchin as a bonus: "Sorry, Sabrina was recently introduced by Troy from the security department. But she's always been a little bit easily spooked because of something in the past."
"I can see it, but I can't completely blame her." Bernice nodded understandingly, and took a sip of the drink in front of her.
The beautiful color, which is clear to blue and emerald, reminds her of Thiago's eyes for no reason.
When did he become such a demon with such a rich imagination?
She blinked guiltily, and turned her attention to the sea urchin meat beside her.
"Speaking of which, has the activity of the latitude hole become more and more frequent recently?"
Rebecca was referring to the incident that the image of the original world reappeared in the sky yesterday evening.Although it was calmed down quickly and did not cause any serious consequences like the last time, it still made many creatures from the original world living here feel uneasy.
"That's true. Your Majesty, they are also busy with this matter recently." Bernice replied.
She remembered that when she saw Thiago in the middle of the night last night, she was frightened by the other party's extremely tired and weak state.Although Chao Ling explained that this was only temporary, caused by the division of divine power back into the main body, Bernice stayed in the palace and guarded him all night.
"Does that mean we won't be able to stay in this new world anytime soon?" Rebecca looked quite worried, "I tried to ask Gabriel, but he refused to tell me more, just Let me not worry too much. But... we will return to the original world after all, right?"
This remark made Bernice a little confused: "Isn't it good to go back to the original world? There are more familiar environments and friends there, aren't there?"
Rebecca was silent for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly, but there was no joy in her clear eyes, only strong sadness: "Yes, we should all be happy, who wouldn't want to go home? "
Only those who have a family would think so.
But this topic did make Bernice aware of a very serious problem, that is, once they all returned to the original world, she would probably be homeless, because she didn't have one in the first place.
Not to mention, the news of her release from prison may have already spread throughout the entire Yuanhai God Territory.I really don't know what kind of tragic scene she will face when she returns to the ocean.
Maybe a new crime was born just like this—the crime of blasphemy for tempting the sea god to wash away his past crimes.
Objectively speaking, this definitely sounds more irritating than the previous crime of killing gods.
Bernice bit the fresh and sweet sea urchin in her mouth, and scratched her hair. Unknowingly, she seemed to have embarked on an extremely shocking path that she had never imagined.
Looking at the sad look on Rebecca's face, Bernice couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried about something?"
A long silence settled in the air, and Bernice began to reflect on whether she should ask this question that was obviously touching the other person's scar, although her starting point was just to try to see if it could help.
Just when she was about to apologize for asking too many questions, Rebecca suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashed with a strange brightness she had never seen before: "Bernese is a sea witch, right, she can make any wish come true for anyone sea witch."
"What do you want to say?" Her state made Bernice instinctively vigilant.
Bernice was very familiar with the look of longing for something that she had seen on countless human faces, but she never thought that it would appear on the girl in front of her.
In my impression, Rebecca is always tolerant and gentle, she is willing to think from the perspective of the other party when encountering any situation, and treats everyone around her so sincerely and kindly.
Even in this new world, besides Tiago, she is the first human being who expresses friendship and acceptance to Bernice.
It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful and pure person would ask Bernice about her desires with opening remarks similar to those of the greedy traders in the past.
"If... I mean, if..." She looked disturbed, but that didn't affect the firmness in her eyes, "Will humans be able to live as long as heaven... no, like elves, and keep their faces unchanged?" Woolen cloth?"
"Humans have the lifespan of elves?" Bernice repeated in surprise, not understanding why the other party suddenly became obsessed with immortality.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of absurd idea should appear in the minds of those in the ruling class.
"I know that you need to pay a huge price to make a deal with you, not to mention that my idea is so unrealistic, I know it. It's just...is there such a possibility?" She still looked at Bernice, even There is also a fragile hope.
"Since you know, why..."
In the middle of her speech, she suddenly stopped, and then she realized: "Is it because of the Archangel?"
The moment she heard this address, Rebecca shrank slightly as if she had been stabbed by something, her eyelashes were half-down, covering all the light in her eyes, she nodded slowly, and stopped talking.
After a while, she laughed again, which was completely different from the gentleness and agility she used to. It was more like crying, and she squeezed her hands nervously: "It's a wishful thinking, right, I know, it's ridiculous."
Maybe it's because she has always been very kind to herself. Even though Bernice doesn't think she is a sympathetic monster, she still can't help but feel sympathetic and sad for her: "Not really. I think, instead Anyone would think so."
"So, is it possible?" Rebecca looked at her without blinking.
The sunlight falling into her eyes inexplicably reminded Bernice of candlelight at night, surrounded by moths that were burned to ashes.
Use the straw to swirl the drink in the glass a few times, and listen to the crisp clinking sound of the ice cubes hitting the glass.Bernice finally let go of her hand, and sincerely warned the other party: "I am not a good trading partner, Rebecca. In fact, it is not just me, nor is any devil. We never do business at a loss, and what you lose will definitely be worse than You get so much more, that's the nature of the devil's deal."
She could understand what Rebecca was thinking.
After all, as long as she thinks about herself and Thiago, she can fully understand.
I have to say that the insurmountable distance is really a terrible thing.
but,
"My answer is, never try to make a deal with a demon."
This is her most sincere advice.
"Can……"
Before Rebecca finished speaking, a chaotic commotion suddenly came from downstairs, followed by the sound of countless glass being smashed, and various shrill screams interspersed with it.
"What happened?" Rebecca stood up blankly, seeing that Bernice had quickly disappeared in place.
The hall on the first floor was in a mess at this time, with running drinks everywhere, broken sharp glass, broken tables and chairs, and scorched black and hideous cracks on the wall.
No one noticed when this strange man in a black cloak appeared, but when he pulled out the two short spears on his back and cut off the neck of Jack of Hearts who came forward to ask him what he needed, the whole Strong turmoil erupted immediately in the dense forest bar.
The three goblins with a violent temper were the first to react, but their attack was completely harmless to the cloaked monster, and he was chopped into pieces by the sharp weapon in his hand without even a chance to return the phone.
His purpose is very strong, and he is not disturbed by the attacks of other irrelevant personnel at all.After inspecting the faces of various creatures in the bar, he quickly locked his attention on Sabrina who was shivering in a corner.
Against the light, Sabrina could only see a huge black shadow gradually walking towards her, stepping on countless glass shards and the shattered corpses of goblins, stepping over the head of Jack of Hearts with a frozen final expression, so sharp that The piercing voice of horror was getting closer and closer.
She tried to attack the opponent to defend herself, but she didn't know if it was because she was too nervous, no matter how many times she silently recited the light mantra she had already mastered by heart, raised her arm and pointed at the opponent tremblingly, nothing happened.
"How could this be, how could it be..." Sabrina looked at her hand in disbelief, her mind went blank, completely enveloped by the dark shadow of the killer approaching her, her face and lips were pale and lifeless, The pupils shrank to a small point because of the extreme fright.
The sharp blade was lifted above her head, the air and the blood in her body were frozen together, and even time was stretched into a thread at that moment, twisted tightly around her thin neck that was about to be broken.
She saw clearly the face of the butcher who was coming towards her.
He has a pair of fish eyes, cold and cloudy, protruding from the eye sockets, covered with a translucent white membrane, and below the jawbone are three scar-like gills.
The next second, when the blade was about to strike Sabrina's head, a gray-white bone blade hovered steadily between the blade and Sabrina's skin.
Immediately afterwards, Bernice lifted his blade away with one hand, raised her foot and kicked him violently.
The butcher was caught off guard by being kicked in the weak cheek, and took a few steps back slightly staggering.When he looked at the black-haired girl who suddenly appeared again, his eyes rolled strangely, but without any hesitation, he quickly shifted his attack target to her.
It had to be admitted that the butcher in front of him was not much inferior to Bernice in terms of fighting skills.
After dodging a series of nearly seamless continuous attacks from the opponent, Bernice jumped onto the crumbling counter, and took advantage of the moment when he stabbed herself with the short spear in his hand, and stepped on the short spear with light movements. the tip of his spear, locking the movement of his right hand.
The bone blade turned half a circle in her hand, squatted down and swung it, accurately blocking the attack from the butcher's left hand, and instantly shook the short spear out of the opponent's hand with extremely strong force.
The girl who was squatting lightly and firmly in front of his eyes like a black cat just now disappeared in front of the butcher out of thin air.Immediately afterwards, Bernice quickly appeared behind the butcher, with the bone blade clinging to his neck.
However, such a threat did not make him give up resistance immediately. On the contrary, he took the risk of his throat being cut at any time, stopped Bernice's hand holding the bone blade with one hand, and at the same time drew out the short spear pierced into the counter and pointed at her. Slash across.
Sensing his intentions, Bernice immediately backed away, and the flying black hair was cut off by the sharp short spear, fell into the puddles everywhere on the ground, and sank slowly.
I hope Rebecca has a good habit of keeping accounts, so that she can quickly calculate how much compensation is due to this madman.
A large piece of dark green flames burned from the soles of the feet, and the water that was originally scattered and flowing on the ground gradually condensed around Bernice, and soon turned into countless alive vines, blocking and strangling the butcher.
In the face of the absolute disparity in magic power, he was quickly surrounded by clusters of crazily growing waters, unable to fight back. In the end, he could only be trapped and kneel on the ground, unable to move.
Bernice walked over, her light green eyes became extraordinarily bright with the burning of magic power.She raised the man's jaw with a bone blade, forced him to look directly into her eyes, and asked, "Who sent you here?"
The butcher with a pair of strange fish eyes did not answer, but smiled coldly at her, and his distorted face suddenly became more terrifying.He twitched and roared, his whole body melted into a shocking pile of bones and carrion in the blink of an eye.
"Death curse." The Cheshire cat crawled out of the chandelier, stared at the wreckage on the ground and opened its mouth with a strange smile, "It seems that this is just a puppet sent to perform a mission, and his master obviously doesn't want others to know own identity."
"Thank you for the explanation. I think I'll be more impressed with you if you don't hide in the chandelier in fear like this next time."
Bernice frowned and said, while looking back at Sabrina who was being hugged and softly comforted by Rebecca, she suddenly felt a little puzzled:
Why did the butcher look like he couldn't wait to kill her?
Could it be related to Wyatt and the impostor who appeared in the cell?
Does that mean that, in fact, Sabrina also knows some secrets about them, so she is regarded as the object that must be killed?
Before she could decide whether to go over and ask, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What... what happened here?"
Troy, who had just folded his wings and landed, looked at the devastation in the bar, and couldn't react for a while, and his surprise was written all over his face.
"It's closed here." Bernice
