Vivian's expression tightened and she quickly continued to read:
【1307, April 25】
[I... saw the real god! A large number of scale people from before surrounded the ship. Most of them could only roar, but one of them, a particularly old one, could actually speak our language. It told me... that our previous behavior had offended us.
The elder of the deep sea must pay the price and beg for its forgiveness. It is tolerant and merciful, and will forgive and accept us, allowing us to become true 'children of the sea'! And bless us with a good harvest every time. I tried it and said
The ceremony...ah...I finally truly understood my mission.]
…
"This person's spirit has begun to change..."
Vivian compared the diaries before and after and found that the text in this diary was particularly sloppy. It was obvious that Spot's spirit had been affected to a certain extent at that time.
【1307, April 26】
[We have all received 'gifts', and scales have grown on the hidden parts of our bodies. This is a normal phenomenon. We will gradually approach greatness, gain perfect bodies and a long life... Bonn said that we are sick. This is for the elders of the deep sea.
Because of his impiety, we unanimously decided to sacrifice him to the elders of the Deep Sea.]
…
【May 5, 1307】
[The ship returned, announcing that it had lost several crew members due to the storm. Everyone in the town accepted this reality calmly. May the deep sea like the sacrifices offered to it... The sea is kind and tolerant, and I have received its blessings.
, as long as the scales are ground into powder and sprinkled into the sea, it will attract a large number of fish, and we can finally get rid of poverty...]
…
【1307, December】
[I have become a famous person in the town. I will participate in the election of the next mayor. I will definitely succeed! Well... it is difficult for mortals to accept greatness after all. I may have to find a way to cover up the abnormalities in my body, Xia
Taya seems to have discovered something...]
…
【January 1, 1308】
[I became the mayor, and I will promote the faith of the deep sea elders... When night came, I tried the spell to summon the scale man on the beach... The old scale man was invited and told me... I did it
It's good, but not enough... The sea needs a grand sacrifice... Shataya is very suitable. Farewell, my love, you will receive supreme glory and merge with the sea...]
Below this diary, there is also a line of incantation.
Vivian touched it with her fingers and felt a chill, knowing that it indeed had 'power'.
"Damn evil god..."
Her body was shaking a little, but she continued to read.
【January 15, 1308】
[The ceremony was successful. I met the Deep Sea Elder again... Ah... Human language is so pale and it is difficult to describe its greatness... But the scale priest told me that the Deep Sea Elder is just a servant of a certain existence. That person
This existence is the real ruler of the sea... Its name is a great pronunciation, a syllable that humans cannot pronounce, and can only try their best to imitate a similar meaning... It is called - Nikolaia! 】
"It turned out to be it! My lord's enemy last time."
Vivian held her chest and saw bright red lines under Nikolaia's pronunciation, which were the annotations of later researchers.
Among them, there is also my father's handwriting - 'Perhaps it is a variant of a certain marine belief. I need to borrow relevant religious books'.
"Oops...it's getting more and more dangerous now."
Vivian frowned.
Although this book is not a true scripture, it is also full of taboos.
For example, the incantation to summon the scale people, Nikolaia's name, and detailed descriptions of some rituals.
After ordinary people get it, they may indeed go astray.
She gritted her teeth and quickly read back.
Most of what follows is the process of how Spot spread his faith, took control of the town, sacrificed human beings, and traded with scale people.
She glanced around and saw a more important article.
【1309】
[After many sacrifices, the elder of the deep sea gave me a response... When the stars return, the ruler of the sea will awaken... But that will be hundreds of years later, no... this will not work! I asked the scale man again
Priest, it told me that there is another way. If a great person wants to come to the world, he can also be conceived through the hotbed of life... There must be a suitable candidate. I asked it which candidate is suitable, and it said that I already knew it.
,Yes, I understand……】
[I am so honored that my children will become the signposts for the coming of the ruler of the sea... Unfortunately, they are still too young and need to wait for at least sixteen years... I have a great plan...]
…
"Obviously, he must have failed...otherwise the world would be over."
Vivian nodded and turned directly to the last page:
【1325】
[Damn it, Owen betrayed me and rescued Faith... They couldn't have done this, it was the secret keeper! The secret keeper gave them support and ruined my plan... The sea sent a dangerous message,
Let me know that an army is heading to the town... Let them come, the most they can harvest is ruins, and I will return to the embrace of the sea with my people... As for Owen and Faith, I will
Curse them, curse their souls, suffer forever, curse their descendants...]
…
The diary is now complete.
Vivian closed the diary, but her mood fluctuated: "It is too dangerous...it must be destroyed...huh?"
In her ears, there seemed to be the sound of water drops.
The sound of dripping water became louder and louder, as if it was about to gather into waves and hit the dam of her spirit and reason.
"This is... mental pollution!"
"This diary will secretly corrupt everyone who reads it!"
Vivian closed her eyes.
In the darkness, she seemed to see a blue sea.
Many waves swept across and turned into whirlpools.
Her hair came to life one by one and turned into wriggling seaweed.
"Spiritual Steel Seal!"
Vivian took a deep breath and mentally outlined a double helix structure of runes with difficulty.
At the same time, the waves quickly submerged her, rising from her feet to her calves, thighs, waist, mouth and nose... suffocating her.
They were forcing her to give up her spiritual dam and accept faith in a great being.
"Get out of here!"
When Vivian felt suffocated to the point of fainting, she finally completed the last stroke of the mark.
A flash of light emerged.
Vivian woke up immediately and found that she was still sitting on the chair.
But her whole body was already wet, and there were still some kelp and seaweed hanging on her body, as if she had just been fished out of the sea.
