"What a bad joke!" Astraea wiped the tears on her face, seeming to calm down the excitement in her heart.
Even the calmest person may lose his composure when faced with something. No one has an iron wall, only no one to talk to and loneliness in the middle of the night.
"It's indeed bad, but isn't it very reasonable? Aren't sheep and peach trees just carambola trees?" Shen Ming defended himself a little.
"Let's go! You know my biggest secret. If you can't find that place, then besides killing you, I will have no choice but to marry you, little man..."
Astraea seemed to be like before again, but this time she didn't have any provocative expression, instead she looked like a serious girl.
"Haha... I'm joking again..."
"You can't be serious, can you?"
…
On a beach in Venice, the sky is getting late, the moon is shining brightly in the sky, and the waves are lapping at the beach. It is quite peaceful and beautiful.
"Hey, Master, it's okay! I've never seen this girl before! The girl from Fanbang, could she be the new mistress?"
The little turtle looked at Astraea in front of him and showed a lewd smile.
"Ahem... don't talk nonsense, we are pure comrades-in-arms!" Shen Ming quickly glared at the little turtle, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.
"Talking turtle, this... you didn't catch a monarch-level summoned beast, right?" Astraea knelt down and looked at the little turtle.
"It makes me cry just talking about it! This turtle is more than just a monarch, even those little brats who claim to be emperors are scum! It's a pity that with one move, you can ban your title, and ten thousand years of hard work will be ruined! Wuwu..."
When the little turtle heard that the other party mentioned his own strength, he instantly became sad. Thinking about how the owner of his "angel" banned his account, he felt extremely sad.
"Okay, don't act with me here! Tell me...how to get to the water country!" Shen Ming watched the little turtle's acting skills explode again and quickly interrupted the other party.
This guy doesn’t know who to follow, his bullshit is top notch!
"Water Swamp Country? Why go back to that place? Master, didn't you go there last time? You took everything you should and shouldn't take, and now there's only ruins left. Why go there?" The little turtle scratched his head.
, said with some confusion.
"you've been to?"
Astraea suddenly became excited, a feeling of being cheated emerged, and she even stared at Shen Ming with some anger!
"I...I don't know if I have been there, I swear! This turtle said I have been there, but I don't know either!" Shen Ming was at a loss for words. He really didn't know if he had been to that place.
.
Shen Ming immediately glared at the little turtle fiercely. This guy is really talkative. If I ask you to lead the way, you will lead the way. Why are you so talkative?
"I prove that the owner was in a special situation at the time and was unconscious at the time." The little turtle felt Shen Ming's gaze as if he was about to stew him, so he followed the explanation.
"How much do you know about that place?" Astraea's face was still not very good, and she felt like she had been cheated.
"I swear, I really only know of such a place! If you want to ask, you have to ask this turtle!"
The Ancient King had told Shen Ming that the reason why he had always seen the tide floating on the sea was because of the little turtle. And at least he couldn't see it now because he had already been to that place.
But Shen Ming really had no memory of that place at all. He even wondered if he had been fragmented? Or his memory had been erased. But if he was really being manipulated, how could the system not respond? He is definitely not like you
There are still beings in this world who can affect the system, even the Dark King cannot.
So the most likely reason is that Shen Ming was really in a coma at that time. As for what happened when he was in a coma, I'm afraid only the turtle in front of him knows.
But the little turtle couldn't believe nine out of ten words he said, so Shen Ming never asked a few questions. He originally thought that he would not have anything to do with the Water Swamp Kingdom in the future, but who would have thought that Astraea also knew about the Water Swamp Kingdom.
Listening to what Shen Ming said, Astraea also looked at the little turtle doubtfully.
"Little turtle, what I just said is true. The mistress must not have any conflict with the master because of the little turtle!" The little turtle stretched out its paw and said five to the sky.
"I don't care whether you guys and the turtle lied to me or not, I just want to find that place! I don't want to be trapped in that dream anymore and watch my mother being pushed into that sea, that upside-down sea!"
"Asharuya's eyes became a little red and swollen again. She never knew what her mother looked like, but she could clearly tell that the beautiful woman in the dream must be her mother.
This kind of dream has tortured her for countless days and nights. The feeling is so real and so powerless!
"Sacrifice? No way? Can those idiots really do such a thing?"
As the little turtle listened, his right eyelid suddenly twitched, feeling that he was going to be unlucky. He knew very well what the upside-down sea was. It was not so much the sea, but the accumulation of liquefied energy.
"Sacrifice?" Shen Ming caught an unfriendly word and looked at the little turtle with stern eyes.
At this moment, Shen Ming suddenly felt a headache, and countless memory fragments flashed through his mind, pieced together into an ancient memory.
"I go!"
Shen Ming covered his head, feeling like his head was about to explode. The sudden surge of memories caught him off guard. He staggered and was about to fall down, but luckily Astraea held Shen Ming up.
"Shen Ming, what's wrong with you?"
Astraea looked at Shen Ming who suddenly covered his head and screamed, and was a little frightened.
"These idiots are trying to steal the power of my Eternal Clan!"
Shen Ming suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, with an extremely majestic temperament exuding involuntarily.
But as soon as he said this, Shen Ming returned to his original appearance. His head didn't hurt, but he clearly remembered what he had just said.
Rather than being said by Shen Ming, it is better to say that Little Turtle said it through Shen Ming. Just now, Little Turtle used the contractual relationship between the two to transfer some of his previously buried memories to Shen Ming.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Astraea looked at Shen Ming who was leaning on her with a worried expression.
"This matter... I'm afraid... holy shit, it's so obvious!"
As soon as Shen Ming turned around, he saw the pink and white pride in front of him. The violent visual impact made Shen Ming blurt out what he was thinking.
"rogue!"
Astraea blushed and pushed Shen Ming away. Although he acted boldly, how could he not be a little embarrassed after being taken advantage of so much?
"That or something... I didn't mean it, it was all..." Shen Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, and at the same time glared at the little turtle with his big eyes looking like "Master, why don't you thank me yet".
"Oh, let's get down to business! I don't know how to explain why I suddenly understood something, but I guarantee that I didn't even know a word of what I said next!" Shen Ming raised his hand.
The right hand, the right hand swore seriously.
Astraea looked at Shen Ming's serious attitude, and for a moment she didn't understand what the other party was going to say. But what on earth was that majestic voice that came out of Shen Ming's mouth just now?
"The weird upside-down sea you saw is not actually a sea, but an ancient energy, and your mother is probably one..." Shen Ming's tone was a little heavy, facing Astraea.
It is somewhat cruel to say such words.
From the memory of the little turtle just now, Shen Ming finally understood what the little fish-man he had encountered repeatedly was.
As the protector of the Zhou Dynasty, the little turtle resettled some of the Zhou Dynasty remnants in the ancestral land of the Eternal Clan, where only he, the turtle, was left.
However, these guys didn't take anything seriously. The moment they saw the huge energy in the Eternal Sea, they became greedy.
This group of people discovered that by sacrificing themselves to the eternal sea through blood, they can get the baptism of the body. Even ordinary people who are not magicians can also have powerful water control abilities that surpass ordinary people and are comparable to monsters.
The only side effect is that these people have completely turned into monsters with human bodies and fish tails. But... who doesn't desire power? So what if they become monsters... If one person is a monster, then everyone will become like this, then everyone will be the same.
.
Little Turtle actually knew about this from the beginning, but it seemed that because of something, he was forced to be banned and offline before he had time to deal with it.
Astraea's mother is likely to be the descendant of a few people who do not want to become monsters. But as time goes by, the powerful fishmen no longer allow humans to appear in their territory. So they want to force
Let those who are still ordinary people be baptized in the eternal sea.
Of course, the greater possibility is that Astraea's mother was a test subject captured by those beasts in order to obtain more power from the eternal sea. After all, Astraea is a Westerner
Face, this is more likely.
Astraea's mother did not know how she escaped, but she was pregnant at the time and did not fully protect her daughter, which still affected Astraea.
"Should I tell her? I always feel that... maybe she shouldn't know the truth." Shen Ming hesitated.
Whether it is the first possibility or the second possibility, I am afraid that this girl will have an emotional breakdown. How should I put it? Does it mean that she really almost turned into a monster? Or... is she a defective product of the experiment?
Astraea already hates the scales growing on her body. Knowing these, I am afraid it will be even more unacceptable, right?
Childhood memories are indelible traces for a lifetime... Shen Ming doesn't know what happened, and he can't empathize without experiencing it. But it is absolutely dark to be able to keep Astraea buried deep in his heart for more than 20 years!
