Whispering Verse

Chapter 318: cursed girl

"I want to buy currency relics, any dangerous level is fine."

Looking at the sea from a towering cliff is completely different from standing on the coast. Shad can even see the black smoke rising from a ship the size of Mia in the distance. He thought that if he had time to take Mia to see the scenery here, the cat would definitely be frightened by the sea.

"I don't have this kind of thing in my hand yet. But I can help you keep an eye on it."

Mr. Edmond said that although Shad had good luck in the tavern, it was not so easy to get another one.

"Oh well."

He shrugged, not disappointed.

"Mr. Watson may come to you by himself in the future. He was introduced by me. I actually have something to do when I come today."

Miss Princes said, looking at the sea level in the distance. The weather was cloudy when Shad came here in the morning, but it cleared up completely in the afternoon.

"Mr. Edmond, have you heard about the sage-level relic [Mermaid Dream]? I want to buy a [relic] from you that can temporarily suppress this curse. I know you must have it For this kind of thing, if Lengshuigang City can find a way to suppress the curse, besides the Orthodox Church, it must be your place."

"Have you touched the mermaid statue?"

Before Mr. Edmond could speak, Xia De asked in surprise.

"Yeah, is it weird? Oh, I really want to forget to tell you."

The blonde girl didn't look at Xia De, but continued to look at the distant sea and said, the ending disappeared in the sound of rumbling water:

"That was a few weeks ago, before the curse broke out. I learned about three of the mermaid statues from a friend, so I got one, and unfortunately got the curse."

There was not much frustration in her tone:

"I originally thought that the curse would take at least half a year to break out, and the church had found a way to break the curse at that time. I didn't expect to find out that it was a week and a half. I had already dreamed of the deep sea palace in my dream."

"This is already the late stage of the curse, why so fast?"

The old man guarding the lighthouse was also surprised:

"You have seen in your dream..."

"No, I just fell into the deep sea in my dream, and my consciousness was pulled into the abyss. I saw the terrifying and distorted giant stone buildings around the undersea temple, and there was no such thing as the huge mermaid corpse in the palace."

Even though he had heard the scene in the dream described by the warehouse dispatcher a few weeks ago, Xia De was still a little uneasy when he heard the sound of the waves and the dream caused by the curse again.

He looked at Miss Princes worriedly, he never thought that the sorceress he met today would encounter such a terrible thing,

Mr. Edmond wrinkled and thought for a while, then said:

"I'm lucky. There are indeed curse-resistant relics here. Although they are clerical grade, they are very expensive."

"How much?"

Miss Princes asked, and Shad listened, thinking that if the other party didn't have enough money, he might be able to borrow some.

"Thirteen hundred pounds, no bargaining. You understand that the value of this [relic] against the curse cannot be compared with ordinary clerical-level relics."

Xia De subconsciously took a breath, but Miss Princes snorted, as if laughing:

"I thought it would take five figures. It seems that the money I prepared in advance was entirely my own overthinking. No problem, but is a money order okay? I can't go out with so much cash."

This lady is far richer than Xia De imagined.

"A money order, of course."

Mr. Edmund, who was guarding the clock tower, glanced at Shad and saw that the sorceress had no intention of letting him stay away, so he talked about the specific situation of the relic:

"A clerk-level relic, Saint Laurent's ring. The source of the relic is very clear, the ring of the Great Witch Roland, the favored person of the old **** [Demon Wolf of Light] in the Fifth Era. In the Fifth Era, this was a very famous A powerful alchemy product, after being transformed into a relic, can give the wearer extremely strong curse resistance. It is useful for any curse, even if it cannot make the wearer completely immune to the curse, it can also slow down the effect of the curse."

"Is it stolen goods?"

asked Miss Princes.

"No, the ring fell into my hands a year ago. His original owner went to explore the New World, and unfortunately encountered an accident. The companion brought the ring back to Coldwater Harbor, and sold it because he was in urgent need of gold."

Mr. Edmond said, and the blonde girl nodded after thinking about it:

"Yes, but I want to inspect the goods. Also, do you have any other news about [Mermaid's Dream]? The ring cannot completely remove the curse, and I can't expect the church to find a solution as soon as possible."

"Do you know that the deep-sea murlocs summoned by the ceremony shot and killed people?"

The old man asked, and Xia De looked up at the seagull above him, not wanting to participate in this kind of conversation.

It seemed that everyone in this city knew about "the murlocs shot and killed people".

"of course I know."

Miss Princes smiled:

"That happened last week. I also know that the church is investigating with this idea, but it seems to have entered a dead end, as if the deep-sea mermaid summoned by the ceremony has turned into a human and disappeared."

With his hands in his pockets, Xia De kicked the stones off the sea cliff, looking very bored.

"Do you know about the 'return from the sea'? It is said that it is a ceremony related to those statues."

The old man said again, and then took a step ahead of Miss Princes and said:

"Even if you heard the news, you must have just heard it and didn't understand the full meaning. Only folklorists who have lived in Coldwater Harbor for many years and know the local ancient customs, such as me, can interpret the meaning of that nursery rhyme .”

The old man who claimed to be a folklorist smiled and twirled his fingers at Miss Princes, who said indifferently:

"We'll check out together later. If there's any news, can you tell me all at once?"

"Okay, most of the nursery rhymes have their own origins, and the origin of 'returning from the sea' is actually a sacrificial ceremony to a certain evil **** in the local fishing village of Lengshui Harbor at the beginning of this era. Let me analyze for you, the main body of the nursery rhymes is four sentence."

He held out four fingers:

"The singing of mermaids is floating on the harbor—there are rumors of mermaids appearing in the local area, representing the totem of evil gods;

Even the **** pirate ships lowered their sails—familiars of the evil gods appeared in the form of pirates to participate in the ceremony;

The red ocean has waves—after the above two steps are completed, there will be a signal symbolized by the ocean turning red;

The beautiful girl went to the depths—to sacrifice a maiden. "

After speaking, he smiled and shook his head:

"Folk customs are so interesting. As long as you know how to interpret them, you can see a lot of different things in just four sentences. There should be scholars in the Orthodox Church who can draw conclusions like mine based on local folk customs and legends, but they will definitely not compare I'm faster."

The old man was very proud of his knowledge.

"This ceremony...why does it sound like it's calling for something..."

Xia De, who had completely heard the conversation, said suddenly, and Miss Prince also nodded hesitantly:

"Mr. Watson is right. If the mermaid statue was deliberately placed in the warehouse on the dock to scatter it, is there a cult group behind this incident that wants to summon something?"

"I don't know about this. Mermaids have indeed appeared in Coldwater Harbor. If unusual pirates appear within a few weeks~lightnovelpub.net~, we will know the answer."

Mr. Edmond said, and Xia De, who experienced the evil god's descending incident more than a week ago, asked nervously:

"Excuse me, which **** is this ballad related to?"

"The small fishing village in Lengshuigang has disappeared for more than a thousand years, and the only information points to three gods. The [God of the Deep Sea Drowned] who controls the dead in the sea, and the protector of the legendary terrifying murloc race [The Lord of the Scarlet Spiral] , as well as the **** of the storm [Furious Storm] that was once defeated by the righteous **** [Father of Peace] recorded in some esoteric scriptures."

The old man replied, pausing and adding:

"These three are evil gods."

Xia De is fairly familiar with the first one, while the other two have only been read in books. The murloc race mentioned in it is a humanoid intelligent race. But unlike the beautiful girl who is good at singing in the story, the mermaids in this world are brutal creatures who like to eat human flesh and are good at various evil spells and rituals.

Facing the sea at this time, hearing the names of the three evil gods in succession, even Xia De felt a little chilly inexplicably.

The current evidence is not enough to prove what will happen next. But more and more clues showed that the appearance of those mermaid statues in Lengshuigang City was definitely not accidental.
