Chu Nan continued to climb up the wooden ladder, preparing to go to the top to see where the mermaid was. Although he did not have high hopes, after all, the lighting range of the lighthouse was very limited.
But when Chu Nan climbed halfway, he suddenly heard another voice singing along. It was a male voice. Chu Nan suddenly turned back and looked at the lighthouse night watchman. He was not singing along with the mermaid's song.
Who else could it be?
Is there a drama in this? Chu Nan stopped and climbed down again. Only then did he carefully recall the series of strange things he saw when he entered the stone chamber, and then connected them all together. This stone chamber doesn't matter
There was a thick layer of dust on the floor, on the table, or on the bed. If the lighthouse night watchman lived here, how could there be such a uniform layer of dust even if he didn't clean it?
, this is the first doubt. The second doubt is that the lighthouse night watchman is floating in the air, without feet. When it floats, it is as light as nothing, with no wind at all, just like a ghost...
ghost……
Suddenly, Chu Nan gained courage and slowly walked towards the back of the lighthouse night watchman. He saw that the lighthouse night watchman was singing in a ecstasy, seemingly unaware of Chu Nan's approach. Finally, Chu Nan cautiously
He stretched out a finger and poked the lighthouse watchman in the back...
Empty! Chu Nan’s hand can easily pass through!
"That's right, I'm not a human being, I'm a ghost. I only come out when night falls. Although I live here, I can't touch everything here." Although the lighthouse night watchman did not look back, he
As if he could know what Chu Nan was thinking at this moment, his tone was filled with desolation and vicissitudes of life.
Chu Nan was slightly surprised. He was surprised that some NPCs in Glory could be so intelligent. They could detect what they might be thinking with just a single movement.
So Chu Nan thought for a while and asked: "Since you are a ghost, and you just said that the fire on this lighthouse has the effect of dispelling evil... then why were you not..."
"Not all ghosts are evil, just like not every mermaid attacks humans." The lighthouse watchman said slowly.
Mermaids...attack humans?!
This is also a key point! Chu Nan secretly wrote it down.
Since this NPC would only respond to specific words in specific situations, Chu Nan had to carefully consider the questions he wanted to ask. He listened to the mermaid singing coming in from outside, thought for a moment, and said: "
What about the singing mermaid outside?"
I saw the lighthouse night watchman let out a long sigh, and his tone was a little more sad: "Her name is Leah, and she is different from other mermaids of her kind. She is kind-hearted, even if their clan leader ordered to kill all passing ships.
Of all the people on board, she is the only one who secretly disobeys the will of their clan leader and instead actively guides ships to avoid sailing into this sea area where mermaids live."
"Why did they kill the people on the passing ship?" Chu Nan couldn't help but ask.
"Once upon a time, mermaids were a very gentle, beautiful, and non-aggressive race. Their songs were the most beautiful in the world. But one day, when greedy people discovered such a creature, they tried to capture it.
They regarded them as objects and occupied them. At that time, a large number of mermaids were captured. Over time, the number of mermaids became less and less. Their patriarch swore that any ship passing by this sea area would be their enemy.
They are the targets of their revenge, even if they are some innocent fishing boats and merchant ships."
"Then how did you die?" Chu Nan asked suddenly. Although this question was very presumptuous, Chu Nan vaguely felt that this lighthouse night watchman NPC had an inexplicable bond with the mermaid named Leah, so there was
If you need to ask clearly, you may be able to find out something useful.
I saw the lighthouse night watchman let out a long sigh and said: "I was also a sailor once. After the ship passed through this biting bay, it was attacked by a mermaid. Everyone on the ship was buried at the bottom of the sea. I was the only one who was attacked by her.
She was rescued, but although I was rescued by her, my legs had been lost in the disaster. In the end, I died of excessive bleeding, but her beauty, her kindness and her
But his name was deeply engraved in my mind and soul. It was only after I died that I discovered that I still had a strong nostalgia for this world. A few days later, a priest passed by and found my body.
He discovered the dying part of me in my body, so he turned me into the ghost I am now, but there was an agreement between me and him that I would not be able to leave this lighthouse for half a step in the future, and he also taught me a few things
A simple spell can light the sacred fire on this lighthouse every night when night falls, purify the souls of those who died near the sea of Biting Bay, and expel the haze and resentment that hangs over Biting Bay. I have been living here since then.
On the lighthouse, I look at her every day, waiting for her to appear, although she doesn't know my existence, maybe she has forgotten me."
"The agreement is an agreement, so you can leave secretly. The priest must be dead," Chu Nan said.
"The reason why I can become such a ghost is because the priest cast a special spell in this lighthouse. As soon as I leave this lighthouse, I will disappear immediately."
"Then you can ask me to do it for you?" Chu Nan suddenly said.
The lighthouse night watchman looked at Chu Nan with a strange look in his eyes. He quickly flashed over without even a breath of wind. He said excitedly: "Yes, you are a human being. You can leave this lighthouse."
I found her, but...she is a mermaid, she can't leave the sea, and I can't leave this lighthouse. Even if she knows my existence, what can I do?"
"Uh..." This was a critical moment. Chu Nan immediately rolled his eyes several times and thought for a long time before saying, "You can give me the meaningful things around you, and I will help you deliver them to her.
Then I can also ask her for something she has on her body and bring it over to you."
"So good, so good!" The lighthouse night watchman immediately became excited, and then his tone became extremely polite, "I don't know how to thank you. Although my name has not been used for a long, long time, you can call me
I’m Barton.”
"It's easy to talk about!" Chu Nan was extremely excited. In this way, Bailey's "Legendary Mermaid" mission can also be completed!
