Wow...
Heavy rain washed the port in the dark night, and Hero was dragged along the Central Avenue.
His hair was messy, his raincoat had two or three cuts, and the hem was in tatters.
Even the short knife, Hero didn't dare to put it on him because it was too big, so he threw it casually on the roadside on a rainy night.
He was surrounded by completely mutated fish-man monsters, and their slippery scales squeezed his body from time to time, causing his body to be contaminated with a stench.
Evil whispers kept lingering in my ears.
"Kill them all, chop them up and feed them to the fish!"
"Let them fill the gap in sacrifices in the deep sea...the souls of the dead in the deep sea will be satisfied!"
"No... they killed Green and they will kill us. Our home will be destroyed by them!"
Hero couldn't find the source of the sound. Being among the monsters, he had no choice but to accept these cold and evil whispers that were hard to hear.
Seeing that they were approaching the end of the avenue, there was no news from the sorcerer from the murlocs exploring the road ahead.
Auntie turned to Hero and asked.
"Hero, where are the magicians?"
After collecting the rune nails, Hero tried it. Every time his weak soul energy was poured into it, he would always feel a trace of blockage, and the source of the blockage could also be vaguely sensed.
The runic iron nail held by the other hand hidden in the raincoat was slightly hot, and he felt the location of the source of the obstruction from time to time.
Hearing his aunt's question, Hero pointed in one direction without hesitation.
After hearing this, the aunt's already ugly face became even more ugly because of her frown.
As a native of the port, she knew every inch of the place. If he were an ordinary person, even if he hid in the drainage ditch, they would still be able to find him and pull him out.
But those magicians didn't know how to block her perception.
But Hero was so clear about their direction.
She also guessed that Holo must have reservations in order to save his life. It would be useless to force him to question him. Could it be that he would lie to the uncles and aunts who raised him at the port?
After all, those magicians are all outsiders. Who would help those despicable outsiders instead of helping their neighbors who know the truth?
Therefore, she just followed the way she treated Holo before.
Imprison, not kill.
Although he was very embarrassed, Hero was always calm in his heart, constantly adjusting his posture, waiting for the opportunity to escape.
That's when.
A loud wail came from a nearby dock, penetrating through the layers of rain.
"I want to go back. I won't take part in the semester assessment, teaching assistant! Where are you teaching assistants!"
It's a magician!
Holo could clearly feel the restlessness of the fish-men around him, but this sudden wailing was obviously very strange.
When the aunt heard this, her expression became even more gloomy.
Only then did she realize that the group of magicians might have disrupted the [Deep Sea Sacrifice].
For the residents of the port, this is a sacrifice. Prepare enough sacrifices, and the deep sea will bless them. Of course, the mark of the deep sea on their bodies will become deeper and deeper.
As for the imperial magician... that is [Deep Sea Backlash].
When the empire was first established, the port served as an outpost for the expedition into the deep sea. However, even magicians of Grand Duke rank failed in the face of the deep sea forbidden area that could cut off the soul circuit. This slowed down the progress of the Great Expedition until fail.
And [Deep Sea Backlash] is the offshore mutation caused by the deep sea forbidden area devouring too many magician souls during the Great Crusade.
For the deep sea system, this change is of course the deep sea's feedback to them, which can increase their strength.
However, for the empire side, this is undoubtedly a weakening of the empire's territory and its people.
However, most of the [Deep Sea Backlash] have no warning, which often results in the guarding magicians arriving late after the disaster occurs.
And those believers in the deep sea have already sensed the messages from the deep sea, and they are full of fattening in the sacrifice.
The voice that came from the dock just now was not familiar to Hero. It was probably the other three male sorcerer apprentices.
Holo didn't know what horrible thing the guy inside had experienced, but listening to the desperate tone, he guessed that something very horrible might have happened in the dock.
Auntie also guessed it. She frowned, and not only did she not let go of Holo's hand, she even pulled it closer.
A scream came from his mouth.
The restless murlocs around them seemed to have received some kind of order, and they screamed and pushed forward.
"Boom"
Before the fishman could figure out the situation.
The wooden door of the dock opened, no! It should be said that it fell down.
The heavy wooden door hit the black stone pavement bricks hard and fell apart.
At this time, a guy covered in blood ran out in a panic.
The heavy rain could not wash away the blood on his body for a while, and after the rain poured it down, he looked like a bloody man without skin.
The large pool of blood flowed along the rainwater to the low-lying areas, along the gaps between the stone slabs, and soon accumulated in a depression.
When the guy saw the large number of murlocs in front of him, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt excited and crazy. Even the face covered with blood had more outlines of facial features.
"Flocs!"
His tone also became ecstatic, he paused, and shouted with a heavy breath: "Let's be buried together, no one can escape. It's not just [Deep Sea Backlash] that's coming this time, even the dean's prediction has appeared. mistake."
Holo was not short, but behind the tall murloc, he could only see a little through the gap. But now as the guy was talking nonsense, the murloc at the front blocked him tightly, and he could only listen. Fortunately, the five senses have been improved, otherwise it would be difficult to hear clearly in the heavy rain.
Mr. Dean?
It sounds like magicians have the ability to predict the future?
Through his aunt's order, the man was caught by a ferocious fish-man.
Hero looked at the blood stains on his body and couldn't find any wounds at once. He was a little surprised: "The rain has washed away the blood for so long, and the blood on his body has become a lot lighter. Why can't he find the wounds? Could it be the blood?" Is it seeping out from the pores?"
Is it a human? Or a monster?
In the expansion pack on the official website, the creatures in the magician world are basically conquered by the magician, but there is a kind of creature whose soul essence is very similar to the magician. This means that the magician cannot completely conquer them and can only seek a way to conquer them. A way of coexistence and cooperation.
There are no monsters, and those who are are imprisoned and studied by high-level magicians.
Then there is only the existence of soul beasts.
The aunt asked solemnly: "Where are the rest of you? Where is the magician with the rank of baron?"
"Assistant...he disappeared. He disappeared the moment it appeared. He must have left us in fear and fled back to the imperial capital. I just said how could someone with such a bad taste be responsible for the assessment!"
The man's eyes were full of anger, and when talking about his other companions, he seemed to recall something, and said with a cry:
"As for them... they're all dead! Dead!"
I originally thought it was just a small [Deep Sea Backlash]. After all, the port has always been under the jurisdiction of the empire, and the rituals that once served as outposts still exist. Even if you guys, a bunch of lowly fishmen, block it, there will be no problem in completing this assessment. .
But! But what was lifted up by the offshore tide was not a trash fish at all! That thing was just one tentacle, and it sucked Fanny to pieces! The soul circuits of all of us have been cut off, and we can’t use soul magic at all!
Its tentacles are everywhere in the deep sea, as if it is toying with us and asking us to play games with it? We can only run. Do you know what it feels like to have something chasing you behind you in the turbulent and dark water? "
His emotions were getting more and more agitated.
But from his words, both Hero and his aunt were sure.
That monster is a soul beast from the deep sea.
A soul beast that can cut off the soul circuit of a magician and controls the deep sea forbidden area.
What a joke, this kind of thing does not belong to any force at all, they are chaotic and evil!
A believer stained by the mark of the deep sea?
This is what people usually eat as snacks.
Perhaps that group of magicians is more attractive to it, after all, it is an uncommon delicacy.
