Wizard Bloodline - Chapter 259
“Mr. Wells talks about you a lot, Cheryl tells me about you almost every day, and Miss Winnie.”
The boy looked at Ronan with adoring eyes as if he had finally met his rumored idol. He quickly took out a small package made of tarpaulin from his arms, wiped it on his body, and handed it to Ronan. .
Ronan took the oilcloth package from the boy with a smile, opened it, and a small communication stone immediately fell out.
In addition, there is a letter.
The letter was indeed Cheryl’s handwriting, and it looked a bit sloppy, as if it had been written in a hurry.
Cheryl said in the letter that Venetia’s beauty attracted a crazy obsession with a powerful wizard in Qifeng Port. Venetia could not bear to be disturbed, but could not offend the other party, so the three of them finally chose to leave Qifeng Port. Wells used his connections to board an ocean-going ship that departed from Windwind Harbor. Even they didn’t know where they were going. If Ronan saw this letter one day, he could try to contact them using the communication stone.
Ronan picked up the communication stone and sent several messages to the other party, but there was no response.
Cheryl probably didn’t know that the communication stone she left behind was still an apprentice-level thing. It could communicate within a very small range and would lose its effectiveness outside the town of Qifeng Port.
Ronan looked at the letter and the communication stone in his hand, and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a long time, he slowly put away the two things.
“May I have your name?”
Ronan returned his gaze to the boy in front of him. The boy was stared at by him. He tried to puff up his chest and replied loudly: “Meleageros Becker. Everyone calls me Mele.”
“Thank you Mellor.”
Ronan stretched out his hand and gently stroked the boy’s fluffy and soft curly hair, and something shiny fell right into the boy’s arms along his cuffs.
“Magic Stone?!”
The boy Moeller was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide, “So many!”
When he hurriedly carefully collected all the rattling magic stones, he looked up, only to find that Ronan’s figure had already disappeared in front of him.
In an open-air tavern near the coastline, under a simple shading tent made of palm leaves, the sea breeze blew their robes, and two figures sat opposite each other and talked softly.
“Ghost Crying Fish, also commonly known as devil fish and devil sound fish. It is characterized by its ability to emit terrifying cries that can threaten official wizards. The local legend of Qifeng Port is that there was once a ship that strayed into the ancient forbidden land, and all the crew members on board Their souls were cursed by the devil and were forced to be imprisoned in the body of a sea fish. They could only make howling sounds of pain.”
“Many wizards are interested in the Devil’s Crying Fish, but the Devil’s Crying Fish can only appear in the depths of the green sea abyss. It is a dangerous place that even formal wizards dare not easily set foot in, and only those who have mastered special skills have the opportunity to do so. From time to time, if one catches it, it will be quickly bought at a high price.”
Ronan listened to the story of the first-level wizard in front of him without much fluctuation on his face. He thought for a while and said: “Since you will come to me again, you shouldn’t just come to tell me that there is nothing you can do about it, right? “
“certainly.”
The black-haired wizard in front of him smiled and said, “As long as you are willing to spend enough magic stones, I can always satisfy your request.”
Ronan’s lips twitched slightly, and the black-haired wizard’s eyes visibly lit up. He was refreshed and quickly continued: “At the bottom of the green abyss, there is the site where the ancient Mermaid Song is buried. Before the Mermaid Song was destroyed, , some of the survivors escaped, and no one was more familiar with the Green Abyss than them.
Although most of these people died over a long period of time, I know that there happens to be a descendant of the survivors who has the blood of the Sea Clan living in Qifeng Port now.
If you decide, I can take you there at any time. “
Song of the Mermaid Sea Tribe
Ronan’s eyes flashed slightly as he listened to the other party’s story.
He had only read about the legend of the Sea Clan in books. The collapse of the World Continent would not only affect the structure of the wizarding world. Many ancient races that once lived on the same level would migrate with it, or simply disappear completely. Extinct in this world.
Ronan, an elf, a winged tribe, a goblin, and a barbarian, never expected that in the south, in a small place like Qifeng Port, the former sea tribe could still survive.
Moreover, he only now knows about the ancient sea kingdom and the Mermaid Song ruins.
“Let’s go.”
Without any nonsense, Ronan simply stood up, and the black-haired wizard politely began to lead the way.
When Ronan came to Qifeng Port, he naturally not only came to see Old Wells and others to reminisce about the past, but his main purpose was to explore the “roaring fish” he had obtained at the sunset gathering in the ruins of the ancient elf city. secret.
“Roaring Fish”, or the Ghost Crying Fish, has the ability to convert all its vitality into terrifying sound waves in one breath. Ronan is very interested in it. If he can figure this out, it may be able to help him improve the life of “Unsullied Body”. The idea of the photosphere compression technique helps.
Ronan spent three days. After a powerful magic stone offensive and revealing a small part of the strength of a third-level wizard, he easily found a local snake-like figure in Qifeng Port, who was being given the opportunity at this time. He was the black-haired first-level wizard who led the way.
The small town of Qifeng Port was not big, and Ronan soon followed the black-haired wizard to a place that resembled a slum.
It was very similar to the place where he lived when he was a wandering wizard in Hoddam. There were low and dilapidated old houses everywhere, so that sewage would not flow across the streets, but the air was also filled with a strong smell of sea and fish.
The two stopped in front of a particularly dilapidated stone hut. The outside of the hut was covered with dried or fresh and wet seaweed plants. The fishy smell became even stronger. Even the black-haired wizard who led the way couldn’t help but wrinkle. Come on.
“@4#¥.”
The black-haired wizard chanted a spell quickly, and many black insects that looked like sea spiders crawled out from under his robe and swarmed towards the hut.
After a while, the swarm of insects retreated like a tide, and the door of the seaweed hut was pushed open with force from the inside.
A thin figure came out of the house.
From the appearance, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build and gray-green eyes. He looked like he had just been fished out of the water, with locks of hair stuck to his head.
His appearance made the smell of sea fish in the air much stronger.
Ronan noticed that there were fish gill-like organs on both sides of the man’s cheeks, which were still opening and closing slightly.
His skin was also very moist, but there were many large ulcers on his body that seemed to be caused by being soaked in water for many years.
“Chuck!”
The black-haired wizard called the man’s name and moved his lips, as if he was communicating with the man alone.
Finally, he threw two potion bottles filled with pink liquid at the man’s feet and said coldly: “You have to think clearly, except for me, there is no other wizard in the entire Qifeng Port who will be willing to provide you with ‘sea poison'” Disease’s slow-release agent”
After finishing speaking, the black-haired wizard, as if he was specially explaining to Ronan, turned around and whispered: “People like them, who are born from the cross between sea people and humans, have inherent huge flaws in their blood, and their bodies will continue to ulcerate. , until death.
Earlier, we were interested in their bloodline and captured a group of them for research. Unfortunately, after spending a lot of resources and energy, we only came up with such a worthless thing.”
The black-haired wizard stared at the potion bottle that he had casually discarded on the pile of rotting seaweed, with undisguised indifference and disgust in his eyes.
He kept watching the actions of the Sea Tribe survivor named Chuck in front of him. It was not until he silently picked up the potion bottle on the ground that he showed a satisfied expression on his face.
“Okay, you can discuss the rest with him yourself. My work has been completed.”
The black-haired wizard replied to Ronan with a smile and politeness. Ronan took out some magic stones and sent them away casually. Only he and the man were left in front of the dilapidated hut.
Ronan watched the man open the potion bottle left by the black-haired wizard and apply the pink liquid inside little by little to the ulcerated skin areas on his body. Ronan could feel his tense emotions relaxing during the process, and some pain was temporarily suppressed. Go down.
“What can I do for you?”
After smearing the last ulcer, the man carefully put away the remaining unused potion, and then asked Ronan humbly.
When he spoke, the gills on both sides of his cheeks opened and closed, so that the sound he made had a strange “buzzing” sound.
“I need a guide to take me to the green abyss of the sea”
Ronan told the man about his desire to find the Devil’s Crying Fish. The man’s eyes flickered. After weighing it for a while, he seemed to have summoned up some courage and boldly said: “If I follow your request, I will go out to sea this time.” It could very well cost me my life, I”
“You think you need extra pay?”
Ronan guessed the man’s thoughts and interrupted him calmly.
The man was stunned for a moment, hesitating and not daring to continue.
Ronan didn’t have the patience to continue talking nonsense with him. He took out a bag full of low-level magic stones, about two to three hundred of them, held it up with his mental strength, and brought it to the man.
The man opened the bag sent by Ronan. When he saw the number of magic stones in the bag, he was stunned on the spot.
After a moment, he raised his head and said to Ronan: “Can you give me a little more time, sir?”
Ronan nodded, and then he saw the man holding the magic stone bag and running out of the stone house courtyard as fast as the wind.
Qifenggang is a place with a bigger butt, and Ronan is not worried about where a mere mortal man can go.
Ronan followed the man leisurely and watched him twisting and turning in the streets of the slums, but Ronan became a little curious.
Please…you…Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\Nine\Book\!)
Finally, he saw the man rushing into an equally dilapidated house with the door ajar. Some baggy women’s underwear was hanging outside the house, which seemed to be the residence of the man’s lover.
Just as Ronan guessed, after the man rushed into the house, a woman’s scream soon sounded inside.
“Damn it, you stinky fish guy, get out of my house!”
“If you don’t pay off the last payment, don’t even think about touching me again!”
Along with the clear sound of something rolling to the ground, the angry voice of the woman in the room suddenly stopped.
After a moment of silence, a louder scream sounded from the house.
“Oh my god, where did you get so much money?!”
“Oh, Chuck, you damn enemy, I love you so much.”
The strange sound of rustling clothes began to be heard in the house.
Ronan silently counted the time, and when he counted to thirty-one, he saw the man appear again.
Unlike the numb look before, the man’s face was flushed at this moment, and the gills on both sides of his cheeks were spread out like two small fans. There were still a few exaggerated blood-red lip prints on his face, but the magic stone bag in his arms was missing.
A fat woman with a barrel-shaped figure chased out of the house in dishevel, waving a handkerchief in her hand, and shouted loudly to the man’s back: “Chuck, our children and I will wait for you at home.”
As she said, she touched her belly full of fat with a gentle face.
“Okay, sir, when do you want to leave?”
The sea tribe Chuck returned to Ronan, wiped his wet cheeks vigorously, and asked him with burning eyes.
Ronan didn’t know what to say, he didn’t understand but showed respect.
He turned around and walked towards the coastline.
“Now.”
On the clear blue sea, a silver-gray magic airship flew quickly in one direction close to the sea level.
Ronan stood at the bow, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.
With his superhuman vision, he could clearly see that near the junction of the sea and the sky, the originally azure water was slowly turning into a dark green color.
There seemed to be a mass of green ink in the sea that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and it kept deepening. From a distance, it looked like a dark green mouth that was constantly opening, swallowing up the entire sea area.
There was the Green Abyss where they were going on this trip.
Ever since he saw the ancient silver giant eel, Ronan had always maintained enough awe for the ocean.
The experience of crossing the ocean alone and returning to the southern continent from the east coast gave him the courage to challenge the unknown.
Retracting his gaze, Ronan turned around and saw Chuck looking around at the “roaring fish” he had casually placed on the deck of the airship.
This “roaring fish” bought from the sunset gathering was already in a dying state after it exhausted its vitality and burst into a fatal roar.
Ronan relied on the infusion of vitality to keep it alive until now.
But even so, it can’t live long. It floats in the transparent crystal tank with its belly facing the sky. The two strange human legs growing on the fish are as white and tender as a baby at first, but now they are shriveled and wrinkled like an old man who is about to die.
“This is the first time I have seen a ghost crying fish that survives after crying.”
Chuck said in a surprised tone, looking at the roaring fish in the tank.
Ronan has never had any contempt or prejudice against people living at the bottom. After using magic to temporarily remove the strong fishy smell of the sea people on Chuck, he treats him as a normal person.
After going out to sea, the two often chatted. After a few days of getting along, Chuck himself has discovered that the young man in front of him, who even the most distinguished wizards he usually meets have to treat with respect, has a much better temper than he looks.
“What methods do you usually use to catch them?”
Ronan asked Chuck casually.
Chuck answered without hesitation: “Blood and flesh.”
Then he looked at Ronan and added: “My flesh and blood. Ordinary flesh and blood are useless. Only the flesh and blood of people with sea blood can attract the ghost fish.
In the legend of the Mermaid Song, the ghost fish was originally a tool created by demons from the bottom of the abyss to hunt and enslave the sea people… They are particularly sensitive to the flesh and blood of the sea people.
But don’t worry, sir, I am ready to sacrifice myself for this sea hunting at any time…”
Ronan didn’t care about Chuck’s loyalty, but was quite interested in what he said about the origin of the ghost fish, so he couldn’t help but say: “What else do you know? Tell me in detail.”
Chuck hesitated for a moment and said: “In fact, I don’t know much.
The blood of the sea people in my body has been very thin since it was passed down to my generation, but I have never been able to get rid of the damn “sea poisoning disease”
All I know comes from the stories my grandfather told me when I was a child”
