After coming out of Sai Yin's room, Lin Ge's brows were still furrowed. It wasn't until Andier's unique cold voice came from behind that he was brought back to reality.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Tongue Demon, I meet you here again."
Damn it, I was so busy thinking about what happened just now that I forgot to guard against this person.
Linge turned around and saw Andiel smiling.
"Your Majesty the Tongue Demon seems to be in trouble?" Andile stared at Ringer's face.
In fact, he had appeared for a while, and even followed Ringer around several corners. But every time before, he would be spotted by Ringer as soon as he appeared, so he found it strange.
"If you really encounter any trouble, you might as well tell me. Maybe I can provide you with some help." Andier said with concern, like a sincere friend.
"No, it's nothing. It's just that I have been studying alchemy recently. I was thinking about runes and formulas just now. Now I am going to the treasure house to select materials." Linge immediately rejected the other party's kindness, because the help from the person in front of him must not be Free.
"Treasure house?" A strange look flashed in Andil's eyes, "Did Master Saiin give you permission to enter the treasure house?"
"Yes."
"It seems that Master Saiin really trusts you," Andil's expression returned to normal, at least on the surface, "I'll go with you. I remember the distribution of the items in the treasure house clearly. Do you want to Just tell me what you want and I’ll find it for you.”
"The steward is busy with his affairs, why am I wasting your time? I know the location of the treasure house, I can just go there myself."
"Haha, even if I'm standing here talking to you, my work is still going on, so it doesn't matter, I won't miss anything, just let me take you to the treasure house."
For this reason, it would be rude to refuse any more. Although Linger was wary of Andier, he did not want to offend him, so he had to agree.
Andil smiled and patted Ringer on the shoulder and led him to continue walking to the treasure house. He kept chatting with him along the way. It seemed like ordinary chatting, but in fact, he set a trap.
Fortunately, Linger was on guard. Most of the time, he only listened to what he said and rarely spoke. He could only nod or shake his head in reply and never spoke, so he was not fooled.
Soon, the two came to the entrance of the treasure house.
This is a black double-leaf door. There are devils painted on the left and right doors, a man on the left and a woman on the right. They are lifelike, and they are not wearing clothes. Under the reflection of the green torch on the door, the two handsome faces are full of evil.
On the left side of the door, there was a gold-encrusted treasure chest lying there. The reason why it was lying there was because when Lin Ge saw it, he realized that it was a living thing.
That's what's called a Mimic, right?
Judging from its vague aura and gorgeous decoration, this should be an elite Mimic.
When Ringer approached, the treasure chest in front of the door opened automatically, revealing a mouth full of dense fangs, and a large blue-gray tongue over one meter long protruding from it, as well as a pair of long blue-gray arms.
The thirteen fingers of those hands were covered with rings inlaid with gems of various colors, and the two arms were also wrapped with nine gold bracelets, which were almost embedded in the flesh and integrated with the arms.
The Mimic stood up, or rather pulled itself out of the floor.
The part that looks like a treasure chest is just its head, and its real body can be integrated with the ground.
It has a pair of strong long legs and a slender body. When it stands completely, it is more than three meters tall.
But after it stood up, it immediately bent down, rubbed its hands, drool dripped from the tip of its tongue, and opened and closed its terrifyingly large mouth, making flattering sounds.
"The little Greedy Demon is here to guard the entrance to the treasure house. What orders do you two adults have?"
Of course he recognizes Andil. He is the chief steward of Demon King City, the head of the intelligence department, and the core of the normal operation of Demon King City. Everyone in Demon King City does not recognize him.
Although the other one is unfamiliar, he also exudes the coercion of a high-ranking demon, and he is walking side by side with Lord Andil, so his identity is certainly not simple.
Linger was about to take out the Ju Fu Yi Demon Badge given to him by Sai Yin, when he heard Andile say lightly: "Open the door." He seemed to be disdainful to say another word.
The Mimic, who claimed to be Greedy Demon, did not dare to say another word and immediately opened the door to the treasure house. A bright golden light immediately shot out from the door, illuminating the dark corridor and shrouding Ringer and Andil.
"My two gentlemen, please."
After the door closed, the corridor became dark again, leaving only the cold light of the green torch.
Na Greemo's slender body got into the floor again, leaving only the head of the treasure box on the ground. The mouth of the treasure box opened and closed, and he murmured: "When can I be transferred from here? I thought promotion would be a good thing, but now it's just Being able to stay in such a boring place, ah, I really want to go back to the underground labyrinth, waiting for the beautiful female adventurer to open me up, and then... uh uh!"
The big blue-gray tongue secreted glistening mucus, dripping onto the ground, which was particularly clear in the silent corridor.
…
On the eastern coastline of the Garama Empire, legends about beautiful mermaids have been circulating since ancient times. Every once in a while, fishermen claim to have caught real mermaids from the sea.
Legend has it that the first lizard man ancestor to catch a mermaid from the sea fell in love with the mermaid he caught and married her.
However, the love between lizards and fishes is fruitless. According to legend, the ancestor of the lizard people who married a mermaid died less than a year after their marriage. It is said that his soul was sucked dry by the mermaid.
Therefore, latecomers often do not believe in love, but use them as sacrifices to the gods, or sell them as ornamental fish to inland nobles at exorbitant prices, and some even use them as top-quality ingredients.
However, after most nobles and top chefs received the goods, they often discovered that the so-called mermaids were either a trick of illusionists or "artificial mermaids" and were not real mermaids at all.
By the time they discovered the truth and wanted to settle the score with the seller, the other party had already disappeared without a trace.
So when they heard that mermaids had been caught somewhere, the drinkers in the tavern just regarded it as boring old news and did not really believe it.
After the nobles were deceived more times, they became more and more cautious, but being deceived still happened from time to time.
This has led to questions about the authenticity of the existence of mermaids, after all, most people have never seen a real mermaid.
Do mermaids really exist?
While Ringer was searching for alchemy materials in the Demon King's treasure house, several sailors were facing such a problem.
This is a two-masted fishing boat floating on the sea. Several sailors gathered around the deck, looking at the strange creatures in the fishing nets, and the same question arose in their hearts——
Is this a mermaid?
I saw a half-human, half-fish black creature lying in the fishing net. The upper body was a human and the lower body was a fish.
As far as the body structure is concerned, it is consistent with the rumored mermaid. The only difference from the rumors is that she is black.
Black skin, black scales, the whole body is black. The scales and skin stained with sea water reflect the sun, making it black and attractive.
