Su Mingan looked at the red-level staff in his hand.

Bonnie dropped a red-level fire staff, which was completely useless to him. Maybe it could be used as a gift to Noel, as a favor for the previous red-level weapons.

He entered the church.

The church is one of the few places in Praia that has not changed, where knights and priests still stay. The flames of war did not spread to this point, and it looked extraordinarily peaceful here.

Perhaps the Pope greeted him in advance, and his journey seemed to be very smooth, and he went straight to the most central Hall of Light.

The red crystal stood quietly inside. After confirming that there were no other players around, he informed Lin Yin to come as soon as possible.

It was 1:10 in the morning, Lin Yin had just occupied the eighth stronghold, and there was still one tenth stronghold left.

It would take about half an hour for her to arrive, and Su Mingan sat directly on the bench next to her.

The hall seemed very quiet. He stared at the paintings on the glass and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He stood up and looked at the painting carefully, and suddenly found that it was very similar to the painting hanging in the royal city.

... This is the picture of the priest releasing the dove in front of the burning church.

Although the painting appeared abstract, it impressed him so much that he completely remembered it.

He stepped forward, touched the bottom of the painting, and suddenly heard the system prompt:

[Completed the pre-mission of perfect customs clearance · Feast at sea]

[Get Perfect Clearance, Heavenly Route, Main Quest]

[Main quest: Van Dylan and his kingdom of heaven: Kill the "Brave". 】

[Hint: By exploring the King City, you can learn the specific identity information of the brave. 】

[Task completion reward: 30% progress for perfect clearance. 】

[Perfect clearance progress: 60%]

...

[*Get Su Rin's Memory Stone]

[Su Rin's memory stone: what Su Rin uses to record the past can enter into Su Rin's past. (Dig deeper into the identity clues to get more memory stones, which can advance the progress of perfect customs clearance.)]

...

Su Ming'an did not expect that he could get so much information by touching this painting.

He looked at the red memory stone in his hand, thinking about whether to see it now.

After all, there was still more than half an hour before Lin Yin arrived, and he really had nothing to do during that time.

Moreover, the so-called "hero" in the mission is...

He thought about it, but still crushed the memory stone in his hand.

...

In the misty sea fog, the white sails of the fishing boats appear and disappear like seagulls.

Su Mingan opened his eyes and saw the crew walking in front of him.

"Captain, an abnormality was found ahead." A crew member was talking to him.

"What's wrong?" Su Rin said, his voice was obviously much more immature, as if he was not yet an adult.

The scene presented by this memory stone seems to be before the incident in Yunshangcheng. Su Rin has not yet become the so-called Great Su engineer.

"...Maybe, siren." The crew swallowed: "We seem to have heard a strange singing."

"Avoid." Su Rin said immediately.

He ordered the surrounding crew to turn, ran to the front of the ship, picked up the binoculars and looked over there.

Through the confused sea fog, an island can be vaguely seen above the distant sea. Vaguely singing came from the island.

Sirens have the ability to deceive people. They can use their sweet songs to lead passing ships to them, and cause them to hit the rocks and destroy them.

He put down the telescope and directed the ship to turn.

But after a while, the singing got closer and closer, and the island seemed to be approaching on its own initiative, gradually approaching the ship.

Panic began to appear on the ship, and some people even passed out.

The legend of the Kraken is too terrifying, and no one wants to be buried in the sea.

"Everyone plug their ears! The boat turns immediately." Su Rin ordered.

His orders were given quickly, but the song was still rushing towards them through the cotton that blocked their ears.

No matter how the ship turns, everyone can only watch the weird island getting closer and closer to them...

Su Rin immediately stepped onto the bow of the boat, pulled out the noble sword from his waist, and pointed at the island.

On the flowery island, he saw the legendary Kraken sitting among the flowers.

She is staring at him, her face is beautiful and delicate, her eyes are slender and seductive, and her dark pupils are inlaid on her pale cheeks, like a blooming black rose.

The slightly curly blue hair rippling behind her, floating as if in the sea without wind, the fishtail covered with diamond-like scales is rolled up among the gorgeous flowers, like a soft silver satin.

She looked so beautiful.

A beautiful song emanated from her bright red lips, and the ethereal high-pitched voice tempted the crew who had just drawn their weapons.

They opened their eyes wide and stared.

The weapons in their hands "bang bang" fell to the ground, and they walked forward uncontrollably, as if they were about to jump into the sea on their own initiative.

"Wake up!" Su Rin shouted, awakening the drowsy group of people in an instant.

Su Rin is one of the few people who is still rational.

He was not deceived by the sea-monster's moving singing voice and gorgeous face, and the tip of his sword still pointed at the sea-monster among the flowers.

But the Kraken didn't look angry, just stared at him, still singing demagogic songs.

Su Rin ordered others to seal the ears with wax and find a way to leave quickly.

But everyone soon discovered that the ship had run aground at some point, and a large hole had been broken on the side of the ship, and they could no longer leave the island.

Just when people panicked, the siren stopped singing.

"Take off those things that are not fun." The Kraken persuaded, her voice could even enter everyone's mind through the wax: "I can let you go, and I can even give you endless treasures as long as you and me Make a deal."

The ship is on its way back, and food and fresh water resources are running out.

If the Kraken won't let them go, they'll starve to death on this boat.

The deputy captain was heartbroken.

The bearded man asked, "What deal are you going to do?"

The gorgeous and moving Kraken smiled.

The blue hair floated behind her, she reached out her hand and rolled up her hair, the pearl-like fins trembled lightly on the side of her face.

"I'm Siren, the watcher of the shipwreck." She said softly, "Your ship should have been buried here because of the shipwreck... but I couldn't bear it.

How desirable is my song, yet so terrified of me by the travelers who come and go.

How bright and beautiful my island is, yet the travelers who come and go just want to get away from me.

I have the most beautiful face, the most beautiful singing, the most beautiful island.

...but I'm lonely, and I long for a guest with whom I can share this beauty.

I can give you innumerable treasures, mountains of gold, the most perfect pearls in the sea.

I can give you a safe return home, endless glory, the seal of the king, the love of the people.

I just want a guest that I long for.

As long as this guest doesn't leave me. "

Hearing her words, people showed longing and greed.

The mountains of gold, the pearls in the sea... these will bring great help to their future.

Just hand over one person.

Only one of them remains.

The rest of them can return safely with the supreme treasure promised by the Kraken.

There's no better deal than this.

"Who do you want?" a crewman eager to leave asked impatiently.

They removed the wax from their ears one after another, showing a greedy look.

The Kraken smiled.

Her fingers slowly pointed to the middle of them, the young captain who was still holding a sword at her.

"I want you," she said softly, "young guest."

Su Rin was instantly focused by countless lines of sight.

The deputy captain beside him stared at him with longing eyes. The first officer he trusted silently drew the sword from his waist. Even the ordinary crew members on the side surrounded him faintly.

He seemed to hear their hearts at this moment.

Please stay for us!

Please leave for the future of Praia!

Please sacrifice for the glory of the empire!

"..."

He looked around at the people who had suddenly changed positions.

In the sight of countless desires, his hand holding the sword trembled.

At this moment, he heard his very calm voice:

"good."

He said.

...

The next process seems to be very rapid.

The crew of pearls and gold left the island excitedly, singing and dancing to their great future.

Su Rin stayed, but the Kraken did not force him.

She served him the delicious fruits of the island, sang for him, told him stories like an innocent little girl, and treated him like a guest.

There were far fewer dead at sea, and the storm seemed to be calmed down.

When the process suddenly slowed down, the siren's voice sounded:

"I left you because I was about to die." Siren said, "You made me very happy these days, thank you."

"..."

"A few months ago, the little girl of your royal family also met me, unfortunately, she was not obedient and just wanted to steal my soul. I gave her a false soul so that her knights could stop harassing her Me." Said the Kraken, "and now, the dying me, will give you my true soul."

Su Rin stared at her beautiful face.

She put her cracking hand on his, and told him softly.

She said she was a siren, who was supposed to live by seducing travelers and sucking their souls.

But she was too lonely, too lonely. The long life became the shackles that bound her, and the flowers of the island could not make her happy, so she begged him to stay.

She no longer sings the sin song that brought the ship to the rocks, she sings sweetly, she only sings for her only guest.

She said she knew about Praia's disaster and the difficult storm they faced lingering near Praia, where people were being forced to find new resource points.

She raised her hand and let Su Rin look at the sky.

Su Rin raised his head, he saw a circle of shadows floating above the sky.

It is the legendary city in the clouds, protected by gods and not wiped out by the storm.

"Is that true?" he asked.

"No, I guess, it's fake," said the Kraken. "But my guest, you can make it 'real'."

"what do you mean……"

"Those who have turned your back on you are abominable." Said the Kraken: "Go back, my guest. Go back to your homeland, go back to your homeland. Deceiving people that the cities of heaven hide long-dwelling gods, who Compassionately merciful, He will bless you and weather the storm for you.

You can trick the people who have turned their backs on you, trick them into boarding an airship, into that city, and let them die to save your resources.

My soul, can give you special powers and a long life. From now on, you will no longer be afraid of special terrifying races, you will not die because of strange poisonous gas, and you will not be trapped in all kinds of human diseases...

You can even have the ability to nurture your own "next generation" and let people become your "Petri dishes" to live forever.

You can take advantage of people's hatred, wage wars, stir up their emotions, and create massacres to prolong your life.

You can deceive people with this, build airships that board that cloud city, and send the guys you hate to hell. Then make the remaining people into your "Petri dish", you are enough to rule your hometown and become the only and eternal king of Praia. "

She was still singing softly, and her voice was melodious.

Her words were demagogic, almost impossible to resist.

But her guest sighed softly:

"...but doing so is wrong."

The Kraken Rumo's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't believe it.

"They deceived you first." She couldn't understand this.

"But what did the other people do wrong?" Su Rin said softly: "The royal family is not at fault for letting people live and work in peace and contentment, and so is the common people who don't know about it. Heroic soul hunters, people struggling to survive, they I did nothing wrong. Since I return with my strength, I will naturally lead them into the future."

"What are you going to do?" Siren asked,

Looking at the very puzzled Kraken, Su Rin said slowly:

"You have given me... a long life, the power of not being afraid of the soul clan, the body that is not afraid of poisonous gas, and the ability to cultivate a 'Petri dish'.

Then, I will use these abilities to board the city in the clouds and find a suitable way to save my hometown. Why does it float in the sky, why is it not afraid of the storm, I will use this indelible pair of Body, get the answer above the city. "

"Don't do this." The Kraken was incomprehensible to her guest's behavior: "You will endure a long and lonely life like me."

Facing the sea monster whose body was gradually cracked~lightnovelpub.net~ and staring at her dark eyes, Su Rin smiled.

"With the homeland I want to watch, I will never be alone," he said.

...

The blood-colored spar cracked in front of him.

Above the painting, the priest burning with fire raised his hands high towards the kingdom of heaven.

The white dove fluttered at his fingertips, the flames like his outstretched wings.

Su Mingan opened his fingers, and the fragments of the spar slowly fell.

"Did you see it? Rin, Van Dylan got his immortality."

A female voice came from behind.

"...I didn't expect that in just a few days, it will be my turn to wait for you this time." The person behind him said with some self-deprecation:

"Rin, tell me, is it still time for me to change my mind now?"
