Chapter 862: What a Mermaid Princess Should Have Been.
Chapter 862 – What a Mermaid Princess Should Have Been Like
Fluke stroked his chin, which was also blue and smooth, “Sort of, but I’ll only send you away and make sure that the wizards of the Court of Judgment won’t be able to track you down for a while. You’ll have to make your own way in the future. After all, if all mermaids who can’t live on their own are too ashamed, it’s better to die.”
The mermaids shrunk their necks and tails as they listened.
They looked at the water elf in front of them who was small in size, but also possessed a fish tail, and thought that the other party was their own clan.
But the other party wasn’t that nice.
Coral watched as Aquamarine had no intention of speaking and took the initiative to step forward herself, “My lord, the teleportation array to leave this place is just ahead.”
She pointed in a direction.
Flo didn’t waste any time, even though he easily took care of a senior third ranked sorcerer, it didn’t mean that the current him could fight against a senior fourth ranked sorcerer.
Lord Water God was still not full of blood.
The mermaids were once again on their way, and this time with Floco’s help, they walked on land, but it was like swimming in water.
The water in the air condensed into small droplets that moisturized their skin and scales.
In but two minutes, they arrived at the designated place.
When they reached an old, withered tree, Aquamarine stepped forward and stood, pulling out the same guide that Blackfish had given him before he acted.
The guide was as long as a shuttle on a textile machine, with a circle of miniature sorcery spells inscribed in the thickest part of the center. The interior was also encased in magic crystals.
Aquamarine activated the guide, and the withered old tree immediately cracked and fell in all directions, and after a burst of light, a circular sorcery spell formation was formed exactly.
Aquamarine walked in holding Pearl, then inserted the guide into the center of the circular spell formation, “Five people enter each time.”
A guide without a sorcerer to maneuver it had limited power, and could only send five mermaids away at a time.
If there was an emergency, the mermaids who didn’t manage to enter the teleportation would have to immediately destroy the guide, that way the pursuers wouldn’t be able to follow the teleportation array to catch up with the mermaids who had already teleported.
And according to the plan, Coral and a few other weak mermaids would be the last ones to teleport.
Even if there were no pursuers, Coral would not leave, but would destroy the guide at the end and lead the mermaids to distract the pursuers.
Therefore, when Aquamarine stood on the witchcraft spell and turned back to greet Coral to hurry in as well, Coral hesitated.
“Go in.” Floco could already see Coral’s intentions, “With me here, there’s no need for you to sacrifice. Moreover, I guarantee that the Judgment Court will definitely not have the heart to track you down next.”
“Could it be that you’re going to go to the Judgment Court’s territory to kill a lot of people?” Aquamarine said excitedly.
“Uh,” Floco decided to ignore him and continued to say to the somewhat hesitant Coral, “If a mermaid wants to gain a foothold out there, it won’t work with just a few natural abilities. The most important thing is brains. In my opinion, you have the best brain and the strongest willpower among these mermaids, so if anyone deserves to survive the most, it should be you.”
It was the first time Coral had heard someone recognize her like that. Even valued her over Aquamarine.
Her lips trembled a little, unsure if she was happy or embarrassed.
Ever since Mr. Blackfish had told her that in order to save the returning mermaids from their miserable future, she needed to sacrifice herself to disguise her infection with the disease and undergo the sorcerer’s experiments.
Once the sorcerer had determined that the returning mermaids were no longer fit to absorb the contamination in the stem pieces of the Red Sea Tree, they would be given up and would not be watched so closely in order to have a chance to escape.
Coral hesitated for only one night before telling Mr. Blackfish that she was willing.
From then on, pain and disease stalked her, and her body was dissected over and over again.
But as long as she saw her brother’s hopeful eyes, she could endure all the torture.
But today, the mighty Lord Water Elf said that she was the hope of the mermaid race.
Was she really that important?
Could it be?
Seeing that Coral was still hesitating, Aquamarine hurriedly called out to her; Aquamarine hadn’t realized before that Coral would intentionally stay, and at this point, she was afraid that she would then still be unwilling to leave.
Floco, however, was out of patience.
That mermaid called Aquamarine was capable but a bit reckless, while this mermaid called Coral had brains but less confidence.
It would be better if these two mermaids didn’t separate.
With a wave of Fluke’s hand, Coral was wrapped in tiny droplets of water and pushed into the spell.
The other mermaids followed in a hurry.
“My lord, do you know when Mr. Blackfish will come over?” Aquamarine didn’t activate the teleportation formation immediately.
Just now, Mr. Blackfish didn’t come over together, so in his haste, Aquamarine could only lead the crowd to continue escaping as planned. But now that such a powerful helper had appeared, he still hoped that the other party would bring Mr. Blackfish along as well.
Mr. Blackfish?
Fluke thought, “Saul didn’t mention any blackfish. If there really is, then the identity of this blackfish would be interesting.”
“Mind yourselves for now, and escape as many as you can.” He saw the mermaid princess that Aquamarine was holding and suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the person out of the sorcery spell.
Aquamarine froze for a moment and instinctively reached out to pull Pearl, but only grabbed an empty hand because the latter was too fast.
“My lord, how did you take Princess Pearl away?” Coral shouted anxiously as well.
“It’s been said that to survive independently out there, brains are very important. And your mermaid princess has long lost that ability. It’s better to let her be an aid to your escape.”
The water elf looked at the clueless Pearl and sighed softly, “A mermaid’s princess, a mermaid’s royal family, shouldn’t be like this.”
As soon as the Water Elf’s words fell, his entire body transformed into a blue light and drilled into the mermaid princess’s body.
Pearl was shaken as if she had been electrocuted, then when she closed her eyes and opened them again, her originally pearl-colored pupils were unexpectedly tinted with a touch of aquamarine.
Afterward, she slowly turned around and looked at the mermaids who were still uncertain, raising her hand, she said, “You guys go.”
“Princess?”
Pearl turned around again, facing the direction of the Red Sea, no longer looking at the other mermaids, “Today, I’ll let you all know that the kings of the mermaids have never fought on the front line, and have never been in need of other people’s protection.”
Pearl then suddenly flew up into the sky, as if leaping into the sea.
With a flick of the green fish tail, it transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the woods.
The other fish didn’t even have time to say anything to stop it.
“Sister, what should we do? Mr. Blackfish said that no matter which one of us dies here, we must protect Princess Pearl and leave.” Aquamarine asked Coral in a panic.
“I don’t know what to do either.” Coral was also anxious, but she knew that their thoughts were irrelevant in the current situation.
Because none of them could bring the mermaid princess out again.
Finally, Coral grabbed Aquamarine, “Let’s go.”
Aquamarine froze, and the other mermaids looked at Coral.
Coral made the decision with difficulty, “We can’t do anything, if we continue to stay here, we will surely be caught up by our pursuers, and then both Mr. Blackfish’s sacrifice and that lord’s efforts just now will be in vain.”
Aquamarine had long been indoctrinated by Mr. Blackfish into the revered position of a mermaid princess, and at this moment her mind could not turn for a moment, and she still could not make up her mind.
But when his gaze fell on Coral’s short, disheveled hair, his heart clenched violently, and remembering how much his sister had suffered these days, and how she had almost been sacrificed for their sake, he actually nodded his head unconsciously.
“Yes!”
……
While the mermaids were leaving the southeastern coast, Pearl had already silently arrived at the Red Sea coast.
She looked expressionlessly at the increasingly bright sky and the wizards who had already begun to form up, her heart slightly cold.
“Sorry Saul, the plan is going to have to change slightly. If you want the mermaids to escape from Nefret more smoothly, just dying a few third-ranked wizards won’t do it, you still need to create some big trouble for them.”
The corner of Pearl’s mouth curled into a cold smile, “Blame them for underestimating the mermaids’ abilities.”
Pearl’s gaze fell below the surface of the sea, “Since you’ve already been nullified by the sorcerers’ raising, let’s sacrifice for your true compatriots.”
Her arms lifted and slowly rose above her head, her ethereal voice moaning.
“Be angry, be mad, O this sea? Twist, struggle, O this world, long overdue for destruction ……”
Madness murmured, over and over again.
At the same time, an extremely penetrating mental power fluctuation probed into the sea.
A few minutes later, the entire red sea …… boiled!
