The guard froze on the spot, tremblingly holding up the small broken three-headed symbol.
He didn't know what the councilor Victor meant, because he was just a simple guard.
But looking at the man in black trench coat in front of him, he knew that Victor was definitely not easy to mess with.
The guard picked up the sign and said respectfully to Victor:
"...Yes, I...I will inform the city lord now!"
He was about to turn around and leave, but just as he turned around, Victor suddenly called him from behind.
"Don't leave in a hurry yet."
The guard turned back and looked at Victor with some fear.
He put his hands in his pockets and said calmly:
"Now, release."
…
Victor and Heni were finally let into the city by the guard.
After hearing what Victor said, the guard plunged into the sea to find the city lord.
Naturally, they were allowed to enter the city.
As soon as they entered the city, Hernie's eyes widened.
She was extremely surprised when she looked at this magical city in front of her.
The entire city seems to be wrapped in a wave of water elements, with large and small water-quality high-rise buildings standing completely above the sea.
Curved water flowed around the building, like the earth turning over, completely placing the city in the palm of his hand.
It is said to be the earth, but in fact the ground beneath your feet is nothing but soft water.
Further down, the huge city extends downward through the floating water and into the deep seabed.
Those mottled lights also continued to move downwards along the sea surface, and the dots of red seemed to ignite a weak but unquenchable flame on the bottom of the sea.
Under the ocean, corals of various colors are scattered around the building, as if they were deliberately carved.
Various algae are also floating in the air, floating unconsciously.
At night, combined with the light blue city, it looks extremely beautiful.
The whole place, like a magical scenery, fascinated her and she couldn't help but be immersed in it.
At this time, Hernie looked around again.
Along the way, there were pedestrians coming and going.
They seemed to be the same as the guards at the door before, with extremely ancient mysterious lines painted on different parts of their bodies.
They kept walking on the sea, but their clothes were not wet even if they were on the water.
If Heni hadn't used magic to block the water from her clothes, her clothes would have been soaked long ago.
At this time, Heni noticed their necks again. They were all wearing the same necklace, and the necklace flowed like water.
And their wrists were all flowing with water, floating like ribbons.
Hermione was confused, then looked at her arm.
There was also an identical stream of water on her arm.
And she still remembered that this thing was given to her by the guard just now.
It seems that without this, the guards will not let them enter the city.
However, the guard could not resist Victor's toughness.
Finally, they entered the water city.
Thinking of this, Heni walked behind Victor, secretly raised her head, and looked at Victor's back and arms.
There was nothing on the professor's body, not the inexplicable water flow, nor anything with the element of 'water' on him.
Perhaps this is why the eyes of pedestrians keep looking towards them.
Heni was very sensitive to other people's eyes. Along the way, she kept feeling that many people around her were looking at them.
Those were all kinds of different and strange looks.
Curiosity, doubt, disgust, contempt...
It is hard to imagine that these emotional eyes would look at them from the eyes of passers-by at the same time.
Heni was a little scared to be stared at by countless eyes, although she also knew that most of these eyes were focused on Victor.
There was almost no hostility towards her.
Is this what the professor said is the xenophobia of the people of the sea?
What about her? Why didn't these people of the sea show any hostility to her?
"Because of the 'Ocean Contract' in your hand."
"Ocean Pact?"
Heni was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and looked at the light stream of water wrapped around her arm.
Victor nodded and said:
"The people of the sea will show hostility to anyone who enters the city of the sea."
“But when you have this, you accept the ocean.”
Victor lit Heni's arm, and the water on it seemed to be activated, flowing slowly around Heni's arm.
The water droplets suspended in the air began to rotate at the same time.
Hermione looked at the water ring on her arm and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"You want to become part of the ocean."
Victor explained calmly, but Heni felt that her head was spinning a little.
What does this have to do with being part of the ocean.
She still didn't quite understand.
At this time, Victor withdrew his hand and put his hands in his pockets.
"You can keep this thing in your hands for a while, and the city lord here will find us through your 'Ocean Contract'."
"Let's rest here for a day. Duke Levi and Erica will also come here tomorrow."
Hearing Victor's words, Henie blinked.
She was pleasantly surprised to learn that Erica would also come.
After all, she has a good relationship with Erica, and Henie considers them friends.
Heni, who has very few friends, almost no friends, will especially cherish those who are good to her.
But unconsciously, Heni felt a slight sense of loss.
She didn't know why.
Perhaps it was because I was looking forward to a two-person trip with the professor, but suddenly it became four people.
The little succubus never hides her feelings. If she's not happy, she's just unhappy.
Victor noticed her emotions and glanced at her casually.
Then, he walked to a vendor selling jewelry on the roadside and pointed at one of the crystal jewelry.
The ornament seemed to be a water drop, carved lifelike and shimmering, as if it was filled with rolling clear water.
"How much is this?"
The boss is also a citizen of the sea. His thick arms are covered with lines, and even the bond of the ocean appears to be wider and stronger than the average person.
When he saw Victor, his face suddenly darkened.
He glanced at Victor with an evil look, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved downward.
"I won't sell you anything..."
boom.
A scorching red magic suddenly burst out from Victor's fingertips, and a sharp flaming steel nail was embedded in the floating sea.
The steel nails began to disintegrate, and the flames slowly fell on the sea.
The next second, a wall of fire rose out of thin air, completely surrounding the boss.
Looking at the wall of fire that was about to completely engulf him, the boss suddenly felt frightened. He sat down on the ground and took a few steps back.
But there was still blazing heat behind him, and he could only huddle in place.
Victor's voice still sounded calmly:
"How much is this?"
"One... one thousand Geo."
Geo is the universal currency of this world, and it is not only usable within the empire.
This can be called a characteristic of the game world.
The price is not expensive, just the price of a bottle of magic potion sold exclusively by the Craven family brand.
So Victor waved his hand casually, and a bag of coins appeared out of thin air and landed in front of the boss.
Victor got his wish and took away the droplet tiara, and the wall of fire gradually disappeared.
The shop owner was still shocked by the high temperature just now, and his mood could not recover for a long time.
The passers-by around him had already noticed the commotion caused by Victor. They looked at Victor warily, their expressions filled with solemnity and fear.
After all, the power of the magic that Victor had just released cannot be underestimated.
What's more, Victor's behavior is too heretical.
Who uses fire magic in the sea city? Does this mean you don’t treat other people of the sea as human beings?
But after all, after Victor showed his strength, no one dared to cast any eyes on Victor.
No matter where it is, hard fists are always the last word.
Heni stood there, looking at Victor blankly.
He was holding the blue drop-like headdress in his hand and was walking towards her step by step.
Could it be that the professor did it just for her...
Heni's mood suddenly felt complicated.
I feel happy and panic at the same time.
If the professor really planned to give that item to her, how should she deal with it.
Whether to accept or reject...
Wuwu, no, Henie, I can’t understand!
Seeing Victor getting closer and closer, he even pinched the water drop headdress with his fingers and raised it slightly.
The flustered Heni quickly closed her eyes.
I feel that my heart is very unsatisfactory and is beating rapidly.
But the touch she was looking forward to didn't come for a long time.
Then Hernie opened her eyes.
I saw Victor's palm sliding down the top of the crow's head on his shoulder.
On top of the dark crow's head, a headdress with flowing water droplets was placed on its head.
The crow raised its proud head and looked at her, as if he was showing off something.
Heni couldn't help but blinked in confusion, and saw Victor say:
"This is not for you."
After the words fell, Heni couldn't help but show a sense of disappointment.
That's right, what is she imagining?
The professor even noticed her fantasy and reminded her specifically.
No one would prepare a gift for her at all.
Even though she is a professor, she has too many delusions...
"but……"
Hearni was slightly startled when she heard the sound.
But before Victor could finish speaking, suddenly, countless guards holding spears formed by water flow rushed towards them from both ends of the street.
Without exception, their wrists are also entangled with light blue water.
Countless guards gathered here, trying to surround the two men.
Seeing this, Heni couldn't help but feel panicked, and she clung to Victor's side, not daring to move.
When had she ever seen such a scene?
But Victor, on the other hand, still had his hands in his pockets and his face was expressionless.
As if he had expected this to happen, he didn't take these guards seriously at all.
After a while, a tall figure sat on a vehicle crossing the sea and slowly walked down.
He wears a small badge on his chest, like a blue star.
Under the night, there are even faint stars twinkling, as if the stars in the sky have really been plucked.
One can tell at a glance that he is definitely no ordinary guard.
"For outsiders who don't have a bond with the ocean in front of us, listen up."
"Your actions disrupted the security of Sea City. Now, please stop resisting and accept our arrest and investigation immediately."
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding guards all raised their spears, and the sharp spearheads rippled with water, pointing directly at Victor.
That's right, Victor triggered an investigation by Sea City's security guards.
He was thinking silently in his heart.
In the game, every player who does not accept the invitation and forcibly enters the City of the Sea will be surrounded by guards.
At this time, as a player, what would you normally do?
Almost at the same time the man's words fell.
Behind Victor, a fierce blazing flame ignited.
The windbreaker was instantly covered with red lines, and the entire windbreaker burned with blazing fire, like an angry beast.
The guards' eyes widened and they could not help but tighten their grip on the spears in their hands.
In the angry flames, Victor's voice slowly sounded:
"Arrest me?"
"Are you qualified?"
…
(Don’t worry, there will be another chapter soon)
