This track built with technology provided by the Crystal Snow Clan is named ‘Morning Sun’, just like the grassland. The train driven by magic runs on the track. The speed is not as fast as the green train in the previous life, but it is already astonishingly fast in this world.
As the owner of the track, Xia Han has not taken it a few times due to his busy schedule, so he will not miss the opportunity when he comes back this time.
He arrived in the middle of the Dawn Grassland by car, then transferred to a carriage and drove to Jade City. Because his appearance with black hair and black eyes was too conspicuous, Xia Han changed into an elf appearance, and in order to further reduce the strangeness, he also put on a hat.
With a big hat covering his pointed ears, he is no different from a human youth.
Like the Suzaku Continent, the seaside residents of the Qilin Continent have all moved inland, and the Jade City is crowded. The war on this continent is no less fierce than the Suzaku Continent. Even some simple tents and ragged people have been erected in the corners of the streets.
The women huddled together, with sallow faces and skinny muscles, carefully guarding their children.
Xia Han always feels sad every time he sees this kind of scene.
But he didn't have any solution. Even a war on the earth would cause such a scene, let alone this backward civilized world. But in general, the people of Qilin Continent are luckier than Suzaku Continent. The bumper harvests in the previous few years have made the empire more
Ability to ensure their food.
Although it doesn't make everyone feel at ease, at least most people are lucky.[
[After unlocking the seal, can I prevent such scenes from happening again? 】
Xia Han suddenly had such a thought, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. Who knows what will happen in the future - besides, he is not such a great man who sacrifices himself for others. If he has the spare power, he can naturally help, but the price is too high, so forget it...
Why should he worry about problems that the earth can't solve?
Of course, assuming that the illustration did not lie, Xia Han could stop the war after unlocking the seal, and his power could protect the human race from suffering from war. However, Xia Han felt that it was unrealistic. He could protect others for a while, but he would still leave after all.
He will not stay in this world.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Xia Han noticed a sneaky figure appearing behind him. He reached for his pocket.
In troubled times, there are the most people who corrupt the order. However, many of them are forced to accept Xia Han's noble clothes, which makes others jealous. He doesn't think the other person is a bad person, so he lets him steal in - there is nothing in his pocket anyway.
If this guy realizes that he still wants to push further, Xia Han will have to teach him a lesson. Read the full text of Guanlu Wanwan.
Fortunately, such an accident did not happen. The figure found nothing in Xia Han's pocket, sighed and turned around and disappeared. Xia Han did not take it seriously, and continued walking forward, aiming to leave across Jade City.
Originally, he could go south directly outside the city, but suddenly he remembered the pastries he had eaten as a child, and entered the city with nostalgic thoughts. However, seeing the chaos in the city, Xia Han still lost the mood to enjoy the food.
The direction he left Jade City was exactly where the sword of Thunder struck down, and Jing died under that sword. There are still some scorch marks on the now repaired city wall. But Xia Han didn't even look at them.
He walked straight away.
That's not something worth remembering.
"Picture book, where do you want me to go?"
Not far away, Xia Han asked. He blindly followed the guide, but he didn't know where it would take him.[
"Go as you please, I will remind the master when the time comes."
The illustrated answer was quite simple, which made Xia Han stunned: "Timing. What timing?"
"The timing of that mermaid's appearance."
Mermaid? At this time, Xia Han, who was alone, had not received news from the holy beasts, and he did not know what happened to the mermaid tribe, but when it came to mermaids, he would only think of the girl with whom he had a brief contact.
Is the illustrated book talking about her? - Xia Han was caught off guard. Didn't he ask Bai Yue to test the mermaid priest? He didn't know if he was the same person.
Xia Han immediately asked Bai Yue, and the report he got from the bottom of his heart made him a little disappointed: the testing had not begun yet. To be precise, the mermaid priest had disappeared since she first appeared, and there was no report of her appearance in these days. Bai
Yue is also very capable.
"Master guessed it right, that mermaid priest is the guy who met you before."
At this time, the illustrations once again made an unexpected confession.
This also proves that the timing mentioned in the illustration is when the girl Xia Han knew appeared, but what does the mermaid have to do with unlocking the seal?
This time Xia Han didn't ask a question. He saw a flash of red light on the horizon. It was the light of the Suzaku. It seemed that the Suzaku was looking for him. Xia Han did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts from the holy beast. The white tiger might have predicted his whereabouts.
Location.
But it should be unstable, because the Suzaku flew farther and farther... They must have something important to do when they came over. Xia Han didn't care about shocking the world, and quickly got up and turned into white light and chased after them.
"P-"
Suzaku neighed, obviously spotting the figure following behind. It fell towards the forest below. When Xia Han landed after him, he saw only a girl with red hair.
"Your Majesty Xia Han, this is the letter my king has given you."
The holy beast really came to see him. Xia Han took the letter when he was relieved. Suzaku turned around and flew away again without waiting for a reply.
No need to reply? Xia Han opened the envelope and read it. This kind of letter written by magic will disappear after reading it. It is very like a magic guardian.
Needless to say, Suzaku elaborated on the rebellion of the Sea Clan and the unknown life and death of the Mermaid Queen, and asked Xia Han to hide temporarily - how did they know that the demon was looking for Xia Han?
Xia Han didn't tell anyone about his own affairs. Do those holy beasts also know about the illustrated book?
This is impossible - maybe the Holy Beast is just worried that he will be poisoned like the Mermaid Queen. If something goes wrong with the Sea Clan and another accident happens to the Human Clan, there will really be no hope for this world.
After reading the letter, the magic stationery automatically turned into blue light spots and disappeared, but Xia Han's complexion did not improve.
He was surprised. If the demon woman's actions were due to the information he gave to the holy beasts, then she would be a very powerful all-round summoner. That woman had already seen through Xia Han's ability to escape. She gave up the pursuit and instead
He took the opportunity to kill the holy beast.
Originally, Xia Han spread the news about her just so that the holy beast would find trouble for her. However, the trouble was not found, and the situation became even worse.
Now that the holy beast is hostile to the Sea Clan, the possibility of making peace has basically disappeared. The Sea Clan's attacks on land have increased and decreased, and the war has become more and more intense, with no one benefiting - except the demons who are enjoying the gains.
what to do--
[Could it be that the illustrated book...]
A chill surged through Xia Han's heart. Isn't what the illustrated book confessed just now closely related to this matter? It knew the information about the holy beasts would arrive a moment ago. So the purpose of confessing the identity of the mermaid priest was for Xia Han to find it.
she?
Is she the only hope for humanity?
Without a queen, the highest commanding class of the Sea Clan is the priests, and the illustrated book says that Xia Han can break the seal soon, which almost makes the road ahead clear.
Six seals, six different races. Humans, elves, Jingxue, orcs, vampires - there are already five here. Although several of them are enemies, their rulers are not closely related to Xia Han, and their beliefs are absorbed.
The conditions are also consistent.
The last race is the Sea Race.
The horror of the illustrated book once again demonstrates. Is the 'death' of the Mermaid Queen already doomed, or was Xia Han already calculated into the future by the illustrated book when she met that mermaid?
After many years, Xia Han once again had the feeling of childhood: the law was violated! He was violating the path laid out in the illustrated book...
At this point, besides meeting the mermaid priest and treating her as a queen in some unknown way, what else can he do? No matter what he does, it seems that nothing is enough to solve the current crisis. The Sea Tribe is an enemy and is formidable.
Enemies have no choice but to negotiate peace.
"You are really going too far..."
With a somewhat bitter voice, Xia Han asked the illustrated book: "That demon is also part of your plan, right?"
Of all things in the world, no one can escape the plot of the illustrated book. Xia Han couldn't see the tricks the demon woman had done on the Mermaid Queen, nor did he know that she was planning to come and capture him when he met the priest - but he was sure of it.
No one can escape the plot of the illustrated book.
Such a golden finger is too powerful, so powerful that it makes people feel uneasy to continue to stay...
[After the seal is released, it must be destroyed.]
Xia Han felt uneasy about the illustrated book. For the first time, he clearly realized that he could not tolerate its existence. No matter what he became in the future, the illustrated book was too weird.
However, at this time, Xia Han still didn't know what the illustrated book he was determined to destroy would eventually become - he had forgotten that no matter how human-like it was, or how emotional his voice and tone were, the illustrated book was just a system, without a real soul.
Instead, we create an intelligent system that mimics real intelligence.
"When is the time for me to meet with the mermaid priest?"
After calming down, Xia Han spoke again, and the answer given by the illustration was very vague.
"One day, two days...two weeks at the latest, it depends on what actions the master takes."
"What's the meaning?"
"That priest was not originally a war-loving person. The passing of the queen made her sad, but she would not be driven to initiate a war. Instead, she chose to retreat."
The illustrated book retains a lot of things behind the scenes, and it doesn't lie. The reason the kind-hearted priest originally participated in the war was to find opportunities to prevent the war. Now that the queen has passed away, the Sea Clan's anger needs to be vented, but she has retreated to the back - this
It is equivalent to giving up the peace that you originally insisted on, and choosing to watch the full text of "The Phoenix of Rebirth".
She is a little mermaid, so it is not difficult to understand why she changed her mood in this accident.
Of course Xia Han wouldn't understand, he was just confused - what action should he take to see the priest?
The answer from the illustrated book is——
"The master wants to see her, so he can only force her to come out."
"Other priests have started a war, and the death songs sung by mermaids will soon be heard on the coast... Master, you must capture a priest alive and use her to call the target out."
A simple and clear plan that even a fool can understand. Xia Han frowned, saying that the so-called timing is determined by how fast he can capture the priest alive. It is not difficult to capture the priest alive. The difficult thing is where to find the priest.
"Master, just walk as you please. You will definitely meet the priest according to the route you have taken in the past."
The illustration did not give a definite answer, but Xia Han decided to do what it said. It was definitely right - but God knows if it was planning something else. Xia Han felt that he was a little too sensitive now, but sometimes
The conclusion drawn by sensitivity may be the truth.
In the past, before Jing was dead, Xia Han ran all along the coast to find Jian's grave. The route at that time was already very vague, and he could only move forward based on his general impression.
After the orc war and the resurgence of mankind, many important roads in Qilin Continent have changed their positions, and the surrounding scenery has also changed to a certain extent. After spending a lot of brainpower, Xia Han reluctantly retraced the previous path. In order to regain the feeling, he even bought
A horse.
A simple horse cannot be said to be strong or beautiful, but it does have a different kind of fun to sit on it and squint your eyes occasionally.
Perhaps Xia Han was lucky. He walked for a day, and when he passed through the forest in the evening of the next day, he heard a beautiful singing voice.
The singing of mermaids is easy to distinguish. Their voices are naturally infectious and have a different temperament from other races. When Xia Han heard it, he recalled the girl from the past. He moved forward without any hesitation.
There is a battlefield ahead. If you enter rashly, you may alert the enemy, and you don't know whether the opponent is a mermaid priest.
Ordinary mermaids can also sing, and they can also have an effect on humans. Xia Han, who is protected by the illustrated book, is not controlled by singing. He cannot feel the specific power of singing, so the way to distinguish a priest can only be based on how effective it is.
The horse that sat down seemed to be tired, its head was heaving up and down, and it was drowsy. Xia Han tied the horse to the forest, hid his figure and sneaked out quietly.
Arriving at the battlefield, Xia Han was shocked by the sight in front of him. There was no fierce artillery fire, no shining weapons, and no angry shouts - the entire battlefield was actually dead.
On the straight coastline and heavily blocked roads, all the human soldiers were lying on the ground sleeping, and their horses, like Xia Han's horse, were also sleeping, and they were lying down to sleep. Horses usually sleep standing up or lying down.
Sleeping horses are quite rare, but at this time, groups of horses were lying down on the battlefield.
The sea breeze was biting and the waves were roaring. It was obviously not normal to sleep in such weather.
Xia Han heard a strange sound. He raised his head and looked at the ocean. Some small figures began to appear in the depths of the boiling waves. They were densely packed and glowed with a terrifying light under the light of the twin moons - if it weren't for Xia Han's eyes.
Sharp, he really couldn't find it.
Sea Tribe... There is no doubt that the owner of this mysterious singing voice is the mermaid priest. Although I don't know where she is, her singing voice is enough to make people fear.
A war initiated by this kind of song that can cause an army to fall asleep is no longer a war, but a massacre, which is simpler than killing chickens and dogs.
