Although her speed in the water was not as good as that of the mermaid princess, Carl still relied on his own physical strength to pursue him savagely. At the same time, Naiya followed him into the water as always, hugging Carl tightly to ensure that he would not be thrown away.
At the same time, in addition to the two of them, there was another person who immediately followed them and dived into the seabed.
This man is the red devil who went to explore the sky before. This guy's name is actually Barry. I heard that he is also a distant relative of the magic lantern genie that Carl met in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". It also made Carl really eat it at the time.
Startled.
And it seems that because of his race, this red devil is also very good at diving. At this moment, he can even maintain the same speed as Karl with a relaxed look.
You must know that Karl's current physical strength is extremely outrageous, and it is almost impossible for ordinary creatures to be able to do this.
Karl could notice the appearance of the red devil, and naturally Naiya on his back could too.
Then this evil god spoke:
"Gulu...I said...Gulu...you..."
After opening her mouth, this guy immediately spit out a lot of bubbles, making people completely confused about what she wanted to say. After the air in her body was completely drained, Naiya continued to speak:
"Barry, you can be faster, right?"
"Of course." Barry in the ocean still looked relaxed when he answered Naiya. It was obvious that he still had room to speed up, "Mr. Naiya, do you have any questions?"
"No more." Naiya lay on Karl's back, with a familiar smile on his face. Assuming that Karl's neck could be twisted 180 degrees at this time, he could definitely tell that this evil god had something else in his belly.
Ghost idea.
Sure enough, Naiya spoke the next moment.
She first released her left hand from Karl, then pointed at the bottomless ocean below, and at the same time moved her position upward behind Karl.
"You go under Karl and carry us down together."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Barry finally came to Karl obediently.
"Mr. Captain, please."
To be honest, Karl didn't expect that he would one day be carried diving on his back.
However, considering that the current situation was unclear, it would be too risky to let Iida rush over alone, so he agreed to Naia's bad idea and actively stretched out his arms to hug the devil Barry's body.
"Fast speed!"
Seeing Karl's actions, Naia immediately shouted, just like a horse betting guy cheering for the horse. The environment in the water did not affect this evil god at all. This guy seemed to agree with Karl's plan.
Very excited.
Barry didn't say anything else this time.
Feeling that Karl's arms had tightened, the red devil immediately speeded up without saying a word, and the three of them quickly disappeared from their original positions.
At this time, Karl was holding a devil in front of him and an evil god lying behind him. He was sandwiched between two extremely dangerous guys like sandwich biscuits. This immediately gave him a very bad association.
Fortunately, this devil was very fast, and this strange experience was over soon.
As their position reached directly above the mermaid's home, Karl immediately let go of Barry's body that had no warmth, and then smoothly pulled Naia down from behind.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
After saying a simple word, Karl immediately swam to the coral reef he had seen before.
On the way, he also saw the corpses of mermaids everywhere in the city. These poor guys seemed to have been killed suddenly. Karl could also see from their expressions that these mermaids were not aware of their own deaths at all.
Among them, there are even young ones who are still playing like they were in life, with a cheerful smile on their faces.
Through this period of time with Iida, Karl also had a rough understanding of the mermaid race.
Just like in "The Daughter of the Sea", this is an innocent and innocent marine ethnic group that pursues beauty and has always disliked fighting and violence.
This can be seen from the fact that Iida discovered the [Sword of the Siren] on the "Black Pearl" and did not directly use magic to set off a storm to attack them, but wanted to take it away gently and secretly.
The result was that such a race was silently massacred in their home under the sea. The depressing atmosphere made Karl feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
So he turned his head, no longer paying attention to this inhumane massacre scene, and directly entered the coral reef in the center of this underwater city.
After he passed a short distance, the scene from the previous Marauder's Map immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
It was still the same as what they saw back then, a mermaid's body lying there quietly, with a lifeless face telling people that she had indeed lost her life.
However, Iida, who had arrived here before Karl and the others, was a little different at this moment. This beautiful girl did not burst into tears, nor was she directly knocked out by Naia like before.
The mermaid princess stood there quietly, motionless.
"Hello……"
"Ugh!"
Just when Naiya was about to say hello to this guy, Karl hugged this evil god who couldn't read the atmosphere, and at the same time blocked her mouth that was about to speak.
"Leave her alone."
Karl said quietly beside Naia.
"Yeah." After hearing Karl's words, Naia nodded obediently.
Then Karl called Barry and whispered to him: "Barry, just watch Iida here, and if you have any questions, just shout."
"Naiya and I will go investigate elsewhere."
"Yes." Barry immediately whispered back to Karl, and then stood guard on the side of the coral reef palace.
Then Karl grabbed Naiya, and the two began to explore other locations in the coral reef palace.
There is a reason why Carl did this.
The mermaids in the city before basically lost their lives with a confused and ignorant look, and no fatal wounds could be seen on their bodies. It did not look like their lives were taken away by pure force.
But this is different in this coral reef. Iida's mother, the Mermaid Queen, has an exaggerated wound on her chest. It can be seen at a glance that it is her fatal injury.
Although she herself made no resistance, it still shows that the murderer did leave traces here.
After leaving the previous hall, Karl took out his compass from his arms and thought in his mind: "Point me to the traces left by the murderer."
The tried-and-tested compass immediately began to rotate, and the needle pointed steadily at a room in the coral reef.
