"Why do you say that?" The illustrated book puzzled.
Xia Han smiled: "Isn't she very smart? If she were smart, she would be compromising with us..."
Mona Lisa is very smart. Xia Han can tell from her behind-the-scenes confrontation with the illustrated book that this woman is no ordinary person. Since she is so smart and even knows the secret of unlocking the seal in the illustrated book, how could she not know that Wu Jian
Is it important to wait for others?
To deal with an enemy, you must die with one strike. As a demon, Mona Lisa can understand this truth better. If she is determined to deal with Xia Han, she should not wake up the Mermaid Queen to scare the snake, but should directly deal with the person who gave Xia Han faith.
Women.
The reason why she didn't do this is very simple. Xia Han guessed that Mona Lisa didn't dare to do things too much, leaving no room for compromise between the two. In other words, the female demon lord was afraid.
He left a way out for himself.
Of course, this fear is not absolute, but relative - it is a tool used to test Xia Han. Mona Lisa has a deep scheming mind, and she may have guessed the hesitation of the illustrated book. The one who makes the decision now is Xia Han. The reason for awakening the Mermaid Queen is
Look at Xia Han's way of coping, this is a test.
If Xia Han is not good enough and is not a threat, this woman will definitely take the next step quickly.
"Cunning guy..."
Xia Han extracted enough hints from the short message. He couldn't help but feel differently about Mona Lisa, and his heart changed from depressed to bright.
The day to unlock the seal is just around the corner. The idea of guessing the Mona Lisa has actually won the victory, and the Sea Clan is not concerned about it. However, the predetermined steps still need to be continued - Xia Han takes Helena to the beach and monitors her shouting
Several fishmen passed on the invitation to the ten priests.
Later, Xia Han tied up Helena again and walked to the Gold Coast in the south.
"Why continue?"
On the way, the illustrated book asked him: "When the Mermaid Queen wakes up, it doesn't make much sense for you to meet that priest."
No matter which soul it is, mortals cannot detect any difference between the current Mermaid Queen and the previous one. As long as she returns to the Crystal Palace, the ruling structure of the Sea Tribe will not be shaken - the possibility of the Ten Priests becoming the Queen is almost non-existent.
Xia Han understood this, but he also understood that this was Mona Lisa's test of himself.
"It doesn't matter."
He smiled and said: "I will tell Zhuque and Xuanwu the news later and ask them to stabilize the queen temporarily."
The countermeasure is that simple. A blue dragon is no match for Suzaku and Xuanwu. Mona Lisa may be able to control the life and death of the Mermaid Queen from a distance. But she will never do that - Xia Han thinks so.
If Mona Lisa threatens Qinglong with 'death', she must take the queen back to the bottom of the sea. Then Xia Han's guess is completely wrong, and then there will only be a tit-for-tat confrontation.
But Xia Han still believes that he guessed correctly...
On the way to the Gold Coast, he began to think of ways to contact the spies of the holy beasts. Suzaku had already sent surveillance subordinates around him, so soon a young Suzaku came out to ask.
The story of the Mermaid Queen was successfully conveyed to Suzaku's ears.
"How does he know so much?"
When she informed Xuanwu of the news, her face was full of confusion: "It was the same last time."
Whether it was the news of the Mona Lisa's appearance or the news of the Mermaid Queen's awakening, the reaction speed of the holy beast was slower than Xia Han. This abnormal phenomenon could be explained by chance for the first time, but had to be explained the second time.
It got people's attention.
"I think he should have a treasure specially designed to sense the movements of demons..."
Xuanwu was also puzzled. Xia Han had always been full of secrets, and he also guessed some things, but not as accurately as Mona Lisa.
"We'll talk about this later. Let's go back and take a look at the situation first."
The problem of the Mermaid Queen whose soul had been replaced was more pressing, so they could only put aside their questions about Xia Han for now.
On the other hand, the search operation involving the life of the mermaid priest naturally attracted much attention, and other priests knew about it in advance than ordinary mermaids. As soon as the tenth priest Xia Han was looking for received the news, he knew that the other priest was looking for him.
It's her.
"He has not forgotten me..."
Over the years, this mermaid girl has never forgotten Xia Han. It is hard not to be impressed that a mere human can sing better than a mermaid. The tenth priest does not have high pursuits or dreams, but she likes to sing.
Listen to songs.
Singing is always indispensable in the world of mermaids, but their singing always has a certain purpose, whether it is for hunting, for war, or for status - very few people sing for the sake of singing.
The girl had never been confused about the purpose of songs. However, the death of the Mermaid Queen made her wonder, was it really for strength and war that God gave them songs?
Without singing, there is no power, and without power you will only get hurt. Mermaids have survived and evolved over countless years precisely because of their innate magical voices.
Is she wrong? She has been wrong since she was a child.
The tenth priest began to meditate. She had been walking on various coasts in the past few days, watching the war. Whenever there were large-scale casualties in the Sea Tribe, she would feel heartbroken - in fact, she should be singing.
If her song sounds, the casualties of the Sea Tribe will be reduced and the war will go more smoothly.
However, every time she could not make up her mind, as soon as she opened her mouth, the thoughts she had grown up with would turn into a joke - she was afraid of this. But although no one blamed her, the tenth priest felt more and more
I feel like a traitor.
She is no different from a traitor to the Sea Tribe—
So when the news came that Xia Han was looking for her, she felt happy but also a little nervous. She didn't know what this meeting would change, or even whether the boy would be the same as before.
Human time is short, and wars have continued for several years. It is normal for the young boy to change his personality.
Is the meeting on the Gold Coast a trap set by humans to kill the two priests? The ten priests couldn't help but think this way. However, in the end, she went there alone. Even if it was for memories, she had to believe it.
This time.
A chance encounter, nearly ten years later, a new day dawned on the Gold Coast.
When the night disappeared and the sun rose from the sea in the Far East, the bright light decorated the port like a golden country. Xia Han led his horse to this land. He was not tired at all after not sleeping all night - this was his last journey.
Before the sun sets again, he can unlock the seal and be freed from the nightmare woven by the illustrated book. (To be continued...)
ps: This week is bound to end. Maybe I will make a mistake - a new book will be released soon, a new book on World of Warcraft, about Illidan... It is just possible that a friend who is better than me has opened a book in a different world of games and invited me to fight together.
I haven't decided yet, but I might start a new book as soon as it's finished. I have three ideas for Warcraft, one for Illidan, one for Azshara, and an original character... If I post it, it will probably be Illidan, and the heroine will be Azshara... Hmm
