The solution proposed by the illustrated book sounds simple, but it is very difficult to implement.
Xia Han's impression of the demons had never been very good, not to mention that the woman had already regarded him as prey. Knowing that the other party was a huge threat to the enemy, he still had to completely give up the idea of killing her - Xia Han was a little confused for a while.
He roasted rabbit meat over a campfire and took the opportunity to calculate the pros and cons in his heart. He put the mermaid priest aside for the time being, but he didn't expect that the priest would wake up soon.
The moment Helena opened her eyes, she closed them again, but did not avoid Xia Han's attention.
"You're awake."
He spoke calmly and looked over.
"Ah...um..."
The petite priest paid uneasy attention to the surrounding situation. She found that her body was not injured, and there was some meat roasting on the bonfire. There were no extra tools. It seemed that the mage was not planning to kill her yet.
Helena couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.[
Of course Xia Han on the other side didn't know that the mermaid priest had such a deep misunderstanding. He divided half of the barbecue and handed it to Helena, and also weakened the restraints on her body so that she could eat normally: "You should
Will you eat this?"
"We will eat meat...but, what kind of meat is this..."
Helena had never seen a rabbit before. Mermaids eat meat just like life on earth. Fish and shrimp are the main ingredients. But they usually don’t use fire, so the roasted meat looks very strange. Helena is afraid that it belongs to her compatriots.
Flesh - an evil mage would certainly do something like this.
"rabbit."
Xia Han gave a simple reply, but did not explain much.
The news given by the illustration just now made him worried. Naturally, he couldn't show such a cheerful expression. He had already begun to think about how to get this priest to help, no matter what happened to the demon woman. Xia Han decided to make Hai Chao his first priority.
.
Except that the continuation of the war will bring greater casualties, the complexity of this task is no more difficult than fighting the demons. The illustrated book instructs him to meet the mermaid girl he knew before, stop the war and unlock the seal.
Xia Han had learned enough experience in the past, and the holy beast informed him of the news about the Mermaid Queen. Now the highest leaders of the Sea Tribe are nine priests. And to achieve his goal, Xia Han must make the 'ten priests' become the new queen——
And he also wants her to fall in love with him.
How to defeat other priests to obtain the throne and how to make her like Xia Han are all very difficult challenges.
Xia Han had no confidence and no plan to complete them in a short time. He couldn't think of an answer, so he could only sigh and decided to take it one step at a time - meet first and then talk.
When he turned his attention to Helena again, she was already eating barbecue.
"I have no ill intentions towards you. I only want you to help me find a friend when I catch you this time." Xia Han didn't want to delay any more time and went straight to the topic: "She is a girl from your mermaid clan. Please help me find her. I
I’ll let you go.”
The illustrated book has told Xia Han the identity of the person he is looking for, but he is not stupid enough to expose it. Helena does not know his identity, so he can use a safer and more secure method to call out the 'Ten Priests'
.
It doesn't require much skill.
"Looking for someone?" Helena stopped and looked at Xia Han with her big eyes: "Are you just looking for someone?" [
"right."
"If you find it, you will release me?"
"right."
This was too simple - Helena was ecstatic, but she had never thought of this possibility.
However, she didn't find it strange when Xia Han brought it up. The girls in the mermaid tribe are all beautiful girls. Coupled with their beautiful voices, they never lack the admiration of men. In fact, mermaids have always used their looks and singing to seduce others.
, their history is based on these two things.
"Whoever you are looking for, I will help you."
Helena immediately patted her chest and confirmed that Xia Han's image in her heart instantly changed from an 'evil mage' to a 'foolish man who was deceived by his compatriots'.
"I'm looking for..."
Xia Han was stunned. He had forgotten the appearance of the mermaid girl before, and it had been so long. He didn't know what she looked like now.
But it's useless to know. If possible, he must prevent Helena from discovering the identity of the person he is looking for. In this way, it is best not to say the appearance, the song, and the word "water"...
"I don't know her name."
His eyes flashed, and finally he shook his head: "She didn't tell me."
"So do you have any tips?"
Helena was nervous.
Xia Han thought for a while, how should he express it - "Well, my name is Zhu Han. I met her many years ago. At that time, I asked her to find the body of my friend at the bottom of the sea."
"If you tell this matter, just say that I am waiting for her on the Gold Coast. She should know."
Xia Han made a sidestep. He told the "Ten Priests" back then that the word "Han" was used, and the name "Zhu Han" met the requirements, and she was the only one who knew about finding the corpse.
Now that the mermaid girl named "Water" has become a priest, it shouldn't be a secret that she once competed with humans in singing, but Xia Han doesn't think she will tell everything -
Sure enough... Helena didn't notice.
"It's too simple. You take me to the beach and let me spread the news." She showed a relaxed expression: "But you have to keep your word!"
Using an ordinary mermaid to exchange for her freedom - Helena would naturally not hesitate. Her status was too noble, how could those common girls compare to her. Of course, if she knew that Xia Han was looking for the Ten Priests, the situation would change again.
.
"I always keep my word."
Xia Han smiled. Things were going so smoothly, which dispelled a lot of his worries.
However, in another place that he didn't know, the female demon lord Mona Lisa was lying on a soft bed, worrying, meditating, and thinking about how to deal with the 'hatching' of the illustrated book. She and the illustrated book were as wary of each other, and would not do anything.
Do.
After a long time, she stood up and looked into the distance with extremely cold eyes.
"Only by waking her up."
She chanted a spell to the distant sky. This was an astonishing move that no one understood the meaning of - the 'Mermaid Queen' who was far away in the sanctuary opened her eyes.
The fact is just as Mona Lisa guessed. Suzaku and Xuanwu were not attracted by the Mermaid Queen. They appeared to be like this, but in fact they cast a dragnet on the outside world. In today's sanctuary, only the green dragon guards the beautiful Mermaid Queen.
Try to wake her up.
And he also noticed the Queen's awakening immediately.
However, the next moment, the guardian of the ocean shrank his pupils with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Lord Qinglong..."
What called him was the voice of the fairy wife who died in ancient times——
