[System] Where is my vest?

Jiang Lan was startled when he saw the eyeballs of the statue moved. He had checked the statue before, and he confirmed that the eyes of the statue were carved out and could not move.

The golden liquid overflowed from the eyes of the idol, slowly flowed along the two small grooves hidden in the lines of the idol, and finally dripped accurately into the bone bowl placed by the high priest.

Seen from a distance, two thin golden lines appeared on the statue, gradually approaching from top to bottom, and finally converged into one, reaching the bottom of the statue.

But Jiang Lan, who knew what the golden liquid was, just felt that the picture in front of him looked weird and ironic.

The statue is weeping blood, what is this? Is the prosperity of the mermaids based on the pain of the "Sea God"?

The high priest's face was indifferent, obviously not surprised by this.

Jiang Lan cleared her throat and coughed.Under the blessing of wind spirit power, this cough spread throughout the entire Sea God Island, but no one could hear the source of the sound.

Since his appearance was too reminiscent of the dragon pupils in the temple, Jiang Lan only made a sound and did not show his figure.

"Sea God... my lord?" The high priest looked very nervous, he froze in place and didn't dare to move, only dared to turn his eyes and look around from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the high priest didn't look happy, Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes and said tentatively, "I'm very disappointed..."

disappointment?What are you disappointed about?Is it the construction of the Holy Needle or something else...

As the high priest thought about it, cold sweat broke out unknowingly. The voice was obviously different from the one he had heard before. Was there something wrong with the Sea God, or did this voice belong to someone else...

"I teach you how to survive the catastrophe," I hope you can work together and unite as one.But why only some mermen are building the Holy Needle..." Jiang Lan's voice spread throughout the Sea God Island, causing the golden-eyed mermen waiting outside the temple to change their expressions.

The high priest in the temple obviously breathed a sigh of relief. He explained: "Now our clan is divided into labor and cooperation. The powerful mermaids are responsible for hunting sea beasts, and the others..."

The High Priest explained that Jiang Lan’s left ear went in and out of his right ear. No matter how he explained, Jiang Lan had already foreseen that after the ceremony was over, the High Priest would definitely expand the scope of requisitioning the mermaids. Use the "oracle" to achieve your own goals.

Following the high priest's wishes first, so that the other party can let go of their guard, Jiang Lan continued: "The third son of the Shark King..."

"The Third Highness is the sacrifice for this catastrophe, the highest-blooded member of my clan..."

Jiang Lan listened to the high priest of the mermaids utter a long speech, exhausting the praises in the world, and portrayed a mistress who understands righteousness and is willing to sacrifice for the mermaids.

But in fact, the hero is vilified into a sinner, and the sacrifice is reduced to atonement.

Seeing the way the high priest praised Xiaosan up and down, Jiang Lan could guess that the person who gave advice to the Yuzu just came up with an idea, and it was the high priest who put the shackles on Xiaosan and pushed him to the guillotine. Operated by one hand.

Drops of dragon's blood fell into the bone bowl, and the statue stopped weeping blood until the bone bowl was full.

The high priest picked up the bone bowl and spoke hesitantly: "Master Sea God, why is your voice different from before..."

"Encountered the enemy and suffered some injuries..." Jiang Lan's voice was a little immature now, and he returned to narrow the range of sound transmission, only the high priest could hear it.

Jiang Lan's answer was perfunctory, but even if the high priest had doubts, there were so many mermaids out there, he couldn't possibly get angry on the spot.

Of course, Jiang Lan also had the same concerns. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. He is not afraid of confronting the high priest alone, and he is even eager to confront the high priest alone.

"Then take care of your health, I'll take my leave first." The high priest saluted with a bone bowl, turned and left the Sea God Temple, and left with the sharks.

Jiang Lan waited for a few days, but before the high priest came, Xiao San came back with scarlet color.

Fei Se was a little surprised to see Jiang Lan who was safe and sound. He took advantage of Xiao San's absence and approached Jiang Lan: "You left Sea God Island before?"

"No." Jiang Lan yawned and said, "I saw that high priest."

Scarlet was very anxious: "Then you..."

"He actually boasted about Xiaosan, saying that he voluntarily dedicated himself to the Merman Race. I was almost moved when I heard that."

Scarlet exclaimed: "How is this possible, what does the high priest mean?"

Jiang Lan waved her hand: "You can experience it yourself."

After the ceremony, after Xiaosan sent Fei Se back, she hasn't seen anyone for a long time.

Scarlet's mood became more and more anxious.

Just when Fei Se was about to go into the sea to look for Xiao San, Xiao San set foot on Sea God Island with scars all over her body.

Xiaosan stroked her crimson red hair, and comforted: "I've been too busy these days, and it took me so long to see you, which made you worry."

Xiaosan's healing ability, Jiang Lan, has seen it well. Looking at the scar on Xiaosan's arm, Jiang Lan was secretly startled.

Xiaosan has a low status in the mermaid tribe, and the most painful, tiring and dangerous things will be assigned to him, Jiang Lan said: "Little San."

Xiaosan's attitude was more respectful than before: "Lord Sea God."

"Let me ask you." Jiang Lan said with a serious expression, "Has the high priest fulfilled his promise?"

Xiaosan was very puzzled: "What promise?"

"The civilian mermaids were recruited to build the holy needle. I heard that the people in the temple promised them that if they behaved well, they would give them the blood of the gods." Jiang Lan said: "And the high priest took a bowl of blood from the Sea God Temple. I thought he It is used to fulfill the promise..."

Xiao San shook her head: "The people in the temple fed the sea beasts with that divine blood, and then built bone bricks."

It seems that the sharks have begun to speed up their progress in making bone bricks containing dragon blood.

Jiang Lan was a little entangled, and he recorded the conversation with the high priest with a carved stone, but when he told Fei Se about it, he only said it verbally, without showing any evidence.

Jiang Lan also has her own selfishness, if sacrificing Xiaosan alone can solve the problem of the mermaids, and not expand the problem to involve the mainland, he is not going to stop it.

What's more, Jiang Lan always cares about Pufferfish's attitude towards holy needles.

When the high priest landed on Sea God Island alone, Jiang Lan was sitting cross-legged on the beach and having a barbecue.

The waiting time was like a tug-of-war between Jiang Lan and the high priest.But Jiang Lan knew that the high priest would definitely lose his temper before him, and the appearance of the sea god meant that the mermaid no longer only had the high priest as a way to communicate with the sea god.

The high priest saw Jiang Lan's pair of different pupils, pointed at Jiang Lan and cursed: "You thief!"

Jiang Lan stood up, patted the sand on his body, and put on a haughty look. He activated the skill "Deterrence", and said coldly, "How dare you disrespect me?"

The blood concentration of the high priest was lower than that of Xiaosan, but it was also far higher than that of other mermen. Although he couldn't help being in awe, he was still able to attack Jiang Lan.

Even so, the performance of the high priest was restrained.

Jiang Lan left the demon pill to Yuan'er, which greatly reduced his strength.

All in all, due to various reasons, neither of them can do anything to each other.

In the end, the fight ended with the high priest returning to the sea. He soaked in the water, looked at Jiang Lan unwillingly, and finally disappeared on the sea.

The mermaid's idea of ​​respecting bloodline strength is deeply rooted. People with high bloodlines are right. This makes it easier for the high priest to control the entire mermaid tribe. Of course, it also makes it easier for Jiang Lan to intervene.

In the temple in Shendu, the sound of something being thrown came from inside the store, and the guards at the entrance of the temple trembled when they heard the sound.

"Where's the blue scale?!" The high priest stepped out of the temple and asked loudly, "He's not seen in this ceremony either!"

He actually called His Majesty by his name directly. It seemed that the High Priest was very angry. The guard at the door quickly replied: "His Majesty has not come back yet."

The high priest frowned, Lan Lin was sent by him to go on a mission, and he didn't know what happened if he didn't come back for so long.

"What about the filth?!"

"He hunted sea beasts, but he hasn't come back yet." The guard lowered his head to hide his fear. The sea beasts that were infused with the blood of the gods would not only increase in strength, but also fall into madness. Except for the third prince, there was no merman Dare to get close to the sea beast that has been poured with divine blood.

"Go and give him to me—forget it, let him come and see me when he comes back."

Hearing that the high priest changed his words, the guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes!"

The high priest turned and returned to the temple with a sullen face.

Xiaosan, who came back from taking the bones of the sea beast, was called to the front of the temple before he had time to catch his breath.He stood in front of the steps of the entrance of the temple, lowered his head: "High Priest, look for me."

In the past, when the high priest issued orders to him, he always stood at the door of the temple at the end of the steps, giving orders condescendingly.

But this time, the high priest was uncharacteristically, turned around and said to him, "Come in."

Xiao San stepped up the steps hesitantly. When he entered the temple, the high priest was already sitting on the seat at the front of the temple.

Xiaosan frowned slightly, this was the first time he had entered the temple of Shendu, and there was no Poseidon statue in this hall.

The high priest sat upright in front, like the master of this temple, the god of the sea.

The high priest cut to the chase: "A thief pretending to be the Sea God appeared on Sea God Island, I want you to kill him!"

Hearing this order, Xiao San suddenly raised his head. He looked at the high priest, calmed down, and said slowly, "In that case, high priest, why didn't you expose him in public?"

The high priest stood up on a row of handrails, pointed at Xiaosan angrily: "Are you questioning me again?!"

The high priest looked at Xiaosan, it was the first time that Xiaosan talked to him like this, he felt uneasy, afraid that Xiaosan knew something, and said harshly: "That is a liar, what he told you, you must not believe it!"

Xiaosan replied calmly: "Master Sea God, you didn't say anything to me."

"You—" The high priest's expression was distorted, and the mistress had swallowed her anger for too long, so long that the high priest had forgotten that the mermaid prince, whom he had been stepping on, was superior to him in terms of bloodline and strength!

If it wasn't for the feeling of guilt that overwhelmed Xiaosan, how could he be willing to be stepped on by others.

Xiao San said calmly: "Even if that person is not the true God of the Sea God, who can easily control the eyes of God without attracting God's wrath, he must be the spokesperson recognized by the Sea God."

"Damn it!" After Xiao San left, the high priest covered his face and cursed. The lingering power of deterrence was still there, which made him unable to calm down for a long time, so that he couldn't choose what to say in front of Xiao San, "That person, you must get rid of!"

The author has something to say: Regarding the name of the high priest, the Merman named it based on his own characteristics. The most special thing about the high priest is his position as a high priest, so his name is "high priest".

Ah, how nice it is to not have to worry about naming things!

In the next chapter, an acquaintance will appear.
