The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

Celeste jerked awake from the dream.

The light in the carriage was very dark, and in order to take care of his sleep quality, Escrit also drew the curtains.The slight shaking under his body reminded him that he was now on his way to the Os Empire.

His heart was still pounding, he was panting, the dream just now was so clear, until now, he can still clearly recall every detail of the dream just now, the shaking of the candle, the slightest feeling in the cabin. He could clearly recall the smell of rotten wood and the salty and cold sea water.

"Are you all right?"

Escrito's gentle voice rang in his ears, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Not really."

Celeste finally returned to the world. He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's just a strange dream... Pull the curtains aside."

Escrit complied.

The curtains of the carriage were drawn, and the slightly dim sunlight shone in through the window, and it was almost dusk now.

Celeste looked at the orange-red sunset outside the window, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Escrito prepared a whole roasted lamb as Celeste's dinner today. Given their current environment, this dinner can be said to be extremely sumptuous.

The dessert after the meal was a few small red round fruits. Celeste didn't know what they were, but he didn't ask.The bright red fruit looks small and cute when held in the hand, and when one bites down, the rich and sweet juice overflows.

Today they failed to enter a village or a small town before nightfall, so they had to sleep in the open.But Escrit still arranged everything in order, and Celeste even took a bath under his service.

As the moon gradually rose, Escrito kissed Celeste and said softly, "It's late, please go to sleep."

Celeste still had that dream in his heart, he didn't say anything, he just pecked Escrit's thin lips lightly, which was a signal for him to continue, Escrit smiled slightly and complied with his wishes. Leicester's request.

Finally, Celeste fell asleep tiredly.

Celeste fell into the icy water.

Unprepared, he took a big mouthful of salty seawater, and his nose and eyes felt extremely stinging.He was dizzy, and only felt that something caught him, a pair of cold and powerful things that looked like human arms tightly wrapped around him, and then the sea water quickly passed over him.

I don't know how long it has passed, Celeste only felt that he was about to suffocate to death. At this moment, he was hugged by the thing that hijacked him and floated to the surface of the sea.

The thing hugged his back tightly from behind, but he didn't bother to look at the other person for the time being, he just coughed, wiped his face, and shed a few physiological tears, his eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see anything clear.

Finally, he finally regained his vision, and he immediately tried to turn around to see what the thing holding him was. In fact, he already had a vague guess in his heart, but this guess was too terrifying, and he couldn't believe it.

—Perhaps a person?

Celeste's fluke mentality was quickly broken. After the thing behind him realized that he wanted to turn around, he held his waist and helped him without hesitation. Celeste was caught off guard and faced the thing , The heart was so frightened that it almost stopped.

What caught Celeste's eyes was a mermaid!

Celeste's gaze swept across the other's translucent pointed ear fins, and his whole body froze.

In fact, he was not intimidated by the appearance of this mermaid. To be fair, this mermaid actually has an appearance blessed by God. Its eyes are narrow and long, and the pupils are emerald green. Fishbone-like eyelashes grow on the edge of the drooping eyelids, the bridge of the nose is straight and straight, and the lips are beautifully shaped, but there is no blood color, almost transparent.

At this moment, the mermaid opened its mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp and thin snow-white teeth, which reminded Celeste of a wolf he had dissected under the guidance of his mentor, "Human."

It clumsily said: "You wanted to catch me...but, I caught you..."

There was an almost smug expression on the mermaid's face: "So now... you... mine."

It was in a very happy mood, and wrapped its long fish tail around the left calf of Celeste. Celeste looked down, and saw that it was a strong and powerful fish tail. It was very long, nearly two meters long. The light silver scales on the tail are very neat, smooth and beautiful, with a metallic color, it doesn't seem to be in the period of changing scales at all.

Celeste raised his head and saw the complacent and slightly sinister expression on its face, and then realized

——he and his mentor were fooled!

This mermaid was not in the scale-changing period at all, and those symptoms were all deliberately pretended to deceive them!

Celeste's mind recalled the first time he and his mentor discovered the mermaid. At that time, they already had a target to track. Although he had never seen the mermaid they were tracking, but According to the instructor, it was a red-tailed mermaid, a pre-adult female mermaid with a very docile temperament. He and the instructor had tracked this mermaid for many days, and had already deployed a plan to capture it, but suddenly, a A strong but weak mermaid came into view of his mentor.

His mentor was very excited that day, and it took Celeste a while to figure out that the mentor had discovered the whereabouts of the mermaid leader. What's more, the mermaid leader seemed to be seriously injured and extremely weak.

The purpose of the mentor coming out to catch the mermaid is to increase the prestige. What can surprise others more than catching a mermaid leader?Naturally, the instructor gave up on the docile red-tailed mermaid and turned his attention to the leader of the mermaid.

The whereabouts of the mermaid leader changed from being mysterious and unpredictable, and became extremely predictable and reconnaissance. At that time, he and his mentor thought it was because it was seriously injured, so they couldn't cover up their whereabouts for the time being. The best opportunity, absolutely not to be missed.

But now it seems that this is no chance, this is completely a trap carefully set by this mermaid!

Celeste forcibly restrained herself from trembling.But he still couldn't control it, his expression was full of panic and fear.

He had studied the thesis about mermaids written by other alchemists. Mermaids were the overlords of the sea and possessed the ability to stir up storms. Their powerful bodies and sharp fins and claws made them invincible in the ocean.Most importantly, they love to have sex with young, handsome human males.If you meet a female mermaid, it can be regarded as an affair, but if you meet a male mermaid, it is a terrible disaster.

Their actions are rough, and they tend to bruise fragile human beings, but this is not the worst. The worst thing is that their blood contains very powerful healing power. Whenever human beings are dying by them, they It would bite open its own blood vessels and force-feed its own blood to humans to allow them to recover, followed by endless torture.

The more Celeste thought about it, the more frightened he became. He trembled and struggled to escape, but all his efforts were in vain. The mermaid easily suppressed all his resistance, hugged him tightly, and quickly moved towards him. Swim far away.
