"Huh...huh...this thing is really difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the upper limit of the power that can be used..."
"You should be lucky that the rules of the arena count it as an 'object that can use power', otherwise it would be even more difficult."
At this time, the "Sherlock" looked very miserable. Not only were two masts broken, the hull was full of dents and big holes, and the stern wheel and rudder were missing. However, even so, it did not capsize and sink.
It floats tenaciously on the sea, and at the same time, there are bright red spots shining in the damaged areas, and it is slowly being repaired.
If you look carefully, you can find that the large holes and dents on the hull seem to be exactly the same size, and they look exactly like... the "meteor hammer" on the tail of the giant monster fish that died on the sea next to it.
It was a huge creature shaped like a giant turtle. In addition to a shell covered with spikes, it had the head of a dragon, the claws of a bird and the tail of a snake. At the end of the tail was a bone-like and chitin-like creature.
Lots of spiked balls.
After the Hogwarts contestants struggled to defeat the first guy who broke out of the water to attack, the other large shadows under the sea disappeared in a hurry.
"It's simply hard to understand. As... uh, an aquatic creature, why does it have a tail that is used to swing and attack? Can it usually hit other agile 'Neptunes'?" Watson pulled the cable and looked down.
"Perhaps it is used to hit those who are slower than it and have stronger defenses," Sherlock said casually, then turned to Lily: "So, how to make the 'bubble film'?"
"Ah?" Although the ship's center of gravity was unstable due to severe damage, Lily ran around unaffected: "How do I know? Mermaids don't use that."
Sherlock was silent for two seconds: "In other words, as long as you kill any Neptune, you can get the bubble film, because we already have the production method."
"Who can do it? We don't have anyone with a fishing background here, right?" Irene was halfway through asking, but found herself the center of attention: "Huh? Me?"
"You are the only 'death faction' present, and there is a corpse in front of us." Sherlock nodded.
"Okay, let me try..." Erin took out her wand, and after thinking about it, she changed it to the strange double-headed spear, and pointed it at the Neptune type on the sea.
call……
Under the gaze of everyone, the giant strange fish turned into bursts of black ash and disappeared like a landslide, leaving only a huge transparent ball. After a brief pause, it shouted towards "Detective Sherlock"
No. 1 rushed over and wrapped it directly.
"The production was successful!" Lily cheered.
…You call this manufacturing?

"Well... although the technology tree has obviously exceeded the scope of the Middle Ages due to the emergence of 'green skins', deep-sea submarines are still a bit unimaginable." Tachala originally served as a lookout because of his good eyesight, but now he no longer needs to work.
Climb down from the watchtower.
At this time, the "Sherlock" had dived into the sea in a behavior pattern that was not typical of a conventional ship, and was sailing close to the seafloor covered with corals and seaweed.
In the dim light, curious small fish schools came close from time to time, but were blocked by the bubble film. They were startled and ran away one after another.
"There has never been an underwater version of the Mark series armor, maybe..." Luna looked around, thoughtfully.
"The ocean is the domain of the White Star. Before your father is promoted to the Demon God of the Universe, it is best not to take any chances with it." Moriarty, who had been relatively silent, suddenly said.
"He? The Universe Demon? Don't... huh?" Luna was halfway through her retort when she suddenly stopped thoughtfully: "Is there a 'Steel Demon' now?"
"If you want to say 'Forging Demon God', of course there is one," Moriarty replied: "Her name is Hephaestus, and she only gives power to blacksmiths or intelligent creatures with similar professions, but because she can only be
The Giver can only get feedback by creating an 'artifact', so he himself is quite weak."
"That 'God of Darkness' really says everything." Sherlock looked at the sky.
"Sometimes, things that the God of the Universe considers insignificant and worthless are actually peerless treasures to others." Moriarty looked at Lily with meaning, then glanced at Atreus.
Atreus pretended not to notice, and Lily was completely unaware.
"Yes, yes, it's this way!" Lily was standing on the bow of the ship, gesticulating in front of her: "Go down that slope!"
Looking in the direction she pointed, there was only a cliff and the bottomless darkness below.
"There... is the end of the continental shelf, and below is the lightless deep sea..." Sherlock at the helm muttered: "It's time to activate the backup energy source."
Before anyone could ask "what backup energy source", two light beams suddenly lit up in front of the ship, piercing the darkness, like a car suddenly turning on its high beam on a rainy night.
"Oops." Lily slipped and fell backwards, landing right in the arms of Atreus who had been waiting there for a long time. She originally wanted to say something, but looked up at Atreus' side face and turned around.
He lowered his head and said nothing.
"What is that? Our ship doesn't have this function, does it?" Atreus asked with a smile.
"That is 'simple reasoning', my friend." Sherlock turned the rudder and turned the "diving sailboat" towards the temporarily illuminated darkness.
————
The "Sherlock" was diving into the deep sea with a "bubble membrane" that emitted a dull white light. The crew was originally fussing over the scenery that was different from the land and the occasional "randomly long" strange fish that appeared, but after a while
After a while, they basically lost interest and turned to chatting with each other or checking the kingdom and family information to determine the situation on the land.
"Sherlock, what tests do you think we will face after we find the 'Inner Earth Sea'?" Watson looked eager to try: "I remember that the previous two times were complex puzzles and difficult battles. The green light
The Legion and Asgard also encountered different situations when searching for the Evidence of Overlord."
"I think it shouldn't be too difficult, it might even be a test that's almost like a joke." Sherlock replied.
"Ah? Why?"
"Because we have gone through several major tests just to get there, and if it is more difficult -"
"Ouch!"
Sherlock, whose reasoning was interrupted, frowned and looked at Watson, and saw him furiously pulling out a pendant from his collar, no, it should be said to be a ring on a string.
At this time, the ring was emitting bursts of red light as if burning, and rows of strange, thin characters were burned on its surface.
"Huh?" Sherlock looked at the ring: "Our incarnations could not use these special wands before, and they were gradually unblocked until the green skin appeared. Now..."
"My treasure——" Peng!
Sherlock turned around and saw that Atreus had just knocked out the man who returned to the team with him, who seemed to be named Crow: "There are some things that cannot be heard by the aborigines, please be careful."
But isn't he the intended professor?
"In other words, because the situation has changed, it has now unlocked more powerful abilities?" Watson didn't pay attention to the episode over there. He blew the remaining warmth away twice, then raised his hand and put the ring on his finger.
Wear.
"Don't go to your ring finger...forget it." Sherlock couldn't stop him.
Crack-!
When Watson put the ring on, bright lightning crackled outside the spherical "bubble".
But this is obviously the deep sea?
Sherlock turned around and looked around, and found that the surrounding environment had changed with the lightning. The originally dark seabed with only two lights had been replaced by a sea surface in a violent storm.
"What?"
"what happened?"
"Have we been teleported to the sea?"
No, no, the posture of the "Sherlock" has not changed. In other words, the "bubble film" that was originally completely transparent and can reflect the external environment has changed its inner wall into a 360-degree angle with no blind spots.
Super large 3D movie screen.
Although he was used to seeing unreasonable scenes, Sherlock looked around at his companions with different expressions, but this time it felt good to have someone with him.
After experiencing various magical events and being briefly surprised, everyone at Hogwarts roughly judged the current situation and quickly determined the protagonist of this "movie" - it was a ship traveling parallel to themselves.
A large cruise ship fighting the storm.
Excluding the sailors who were lowering the sails and tying the cables, the most eye-catching thing on the ship was Atreus, who was dressed in golden clothes and wearing a golden crown. He was standing under the awning at the bow of the ship, softly comforting the man he was holding.
In his arms, there was a young woman who was also dressed in luxurious clothes - that was obviously not Lily.
At the stern of the boat far away from the two of them, "Lily" in ordinary clothes was holding a gorgeous pearl dagger and staring at them closely.
"..." And the real Lily on the "Sherlock" was looking at the pictures on the "giant 3D screen" in a daze.
"Wow~" Luna exclaimed.
"So you are this kind of person." Eileen also said.
Were they just quarreling with each other? Everyone could tell that was not true. Shylock shrugged. That "Atreus" was exactly the incarnation he was using at this time, but Atreus's own true appearance showed that
He still looks like a teenager.
In other words, is this some kind of "test"?
"No, wait, that's not me -" After being surprised for a few seconds, Atreus hurried towards Lily.
"I know," Lily raised her hand to stop his defense, her tone of voice unclear: "First... read on."
"[Laura - what are you waiting for -]" At this time, a shrill female voice from an unknown source appeared: "[As long as you kill him - you can turn back into a mermaid -]"
"Lily" in the storm looked tangled, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and threw the dagger into the sea.
At the same time, the storm quickly subsided, the clouds opened and the rain stopped, revealing the sunset that was setting towards the sea, and "Lily" turned into a colorful bubble and disappeared under the sunlight.
"I..." Atreus was about to say something when the 3D scene surrounding the screen suddenly dropped, followed by a close-up of the dagger that was thrown into the sea. At the same time, there were people of unknown gender, carrying
A dull echoing voice sounded:
"[Our king is about to be born.]"
"[There is also one in the distant sea.]"
"[The two kings will eventually meet again.]"
"[We have been waiting for that day.]"
"[It's coming soon, it will go smoothly this time.]"
Following lines of unclear meaning, the dagger finally fell to the bottom of the sea and was planted shallowly on the beach.
Everyone was still trying to understand the meaning of these words, when a large shadow suddenly appeared on the screen, and the "lens" zoomed out, revealing a man wearing a red and white diving suit, carrying an oxygen tank on his back, and with short red hair.
of women.
She was aimlessly observing the corals and playing with the fish, but was suddenly attracted by the flash of the dagger. She quickly swam over and pulled it out of the seabed. After observing it for a while, she decided to stop diving and swim to the surface.
"Isn't the age difference a bit far?"
"This is called montage."
"No, this should be -"
"Shh, don't talk while watching the movie."
No matter how you think about it, it’s not a movie...
Sherlock was distracted for a moment, and the picture on the screen had followed to the surface of the sea. The female diver was climbing up the rope ladder onto a luxury cruise ship, and the "lens" passed her and reached the deck first, reflecting several heavily armed divers.
The gangsters were forcing some well-dressed upper-class people to squat down with their heads in their hands.
"[Hey! Look what I found--]"
Da da da!
The female diver boarded the deck, and before she could finish her words, she was hit in the chest by the nearest gangster and fell back into the sea on her back.
At this moment, the time on the screen became extremely slow, and the scene of the female diver's blood splashing on the dagger and then being absorbed was shown frame by frame. Finally, the flow of time became normal, and she fell into the sea with a pop.
"[Bastard! Don't kill the hostages casually!]" The accomplice next to the gunman kicked him: "[Our purpose is to let these powerful people and the families behind them know that the 'Kingpin' cannot protect them, and make them give up clinging to them."
That guy who washes his hands in a golden basin only wants his wife and children, instead of directing hatred towards himself!】"
"[But, she was holding a dagger, I thought it was the Navy SEALs coming...]" The shooter was kicked, but he didn't dare to refute and explained timidly.
"[Idiot! In a fight between gangs, no one will call the police!]" The gangster who kicked him looked towards the sea: "[You might as well say you thought you saw a mermaid——]"
Katcha, poof!
As if his feet slipped and he lost his balance, the gangster broke the railing and fell into the sea.
"[I, I, I can't swim!]" The shooter panicked and pointed his gun at the other hostages: "[Who can swim, go down and rescue him!]"
The hostages' eyes widened, but not because of fear. They all looked unanimously at the place where the kidnapper fell into the water.
"[What——]" The shooter finally realized something was wrong. When he turned around to look, his line of sight was completely blocked by a pink fish tail.
Boom!
The gangster spun and flew down to the sea, revealing the diver who had returned to the deck. No, it was a little mermaid with short pink hair and a pink fish tail, wearing a tattered and blood-stained diving suit carelessly on her body.
"[Hmph, you don't know how to swim? Let's learn it now.]" She said with her hands on her waist.
"[What sound!]" "[Jinbin's people have arrived?]" "[Quick, quick, quick!]"
Urgent shouts came from other parts of the yacht. The Little Mermaid turned the dagger in her hand, thought for a moment, and chose to put it away. She picked up the gun on the ground, loaded it and reloaded it skillfully, and then looked towards
The stunned hostages raised their index fingers:
“[You guys, you didn’t see anything~]”
The "movie" ends here, and the outside of the bubble returns to the darkness of the deep sea, while the "audiences" look at each other in shock.
"Oops, we know the vice principal's dark history. We won't be beaten when we go back, right?"
