What is carved on the mural is an extremely beautiful woman. The woman's head is emerging from the bushes. Between the green trees, her skin is as white as snow, her long dark hair is scattered on the lake, and she has a pair of clear eyes.
There is no trace of dust, but there is compassion and love in her eyes.
I saw her sitting comfortably and elegantly by the lake, bright and holy, with an impeccable manner. Her white clothes were reflected in the water, and fallen flowers fell on her head, clothes and shadow one by one.
Behind her is a little mermaid, as if she had just been born.
The woman looked at the mermaid lazily, with a motherly smile on her lips.
After staring blankly at the mural for a long time, the Mermaid King's expression was also very complicated, from nostalgia before to sadness, then sadness to joy, and finally longing and helplessness.
His hand appeared in the air on top of the mural. He did not dare to touch it, but only caressed it vaguely, as if he was afraid that he would desecrate the woman on the mural.
The person on the mural is none other than the goddess of life who created them. She is their creator god.
Hundreds of years ago, the goddess fell into a deep sleep. The goddess's messenger brought the goddess's scepter. They wanted to temporarily choose a master for the goddess' scepter. When the goddess returns, the scepter will regain its glory.
The first guardian of the goddess's scepter was his wife. The scepter had been living in his wife's body for hundreds of years, but the brilliance they had been expecting never appeared.
Until the birth of my daughter, this spiritual scepter actually chose the newly born daughter as its second host.
As his daughter grew up, the scepter remained safe and sound. The king was anxious but had no choice. Maybe the goddess would not wake up until a long, long time later!
Unexpectedly, there was a certain destiny. Since the scepter chose Graniwin as its master, everything has changed.
No one expected that the youngest daughter who had always been the most well-behaved would run away from home, and everything quietly changed with Graniwin running away from home.
After his daughter ran away, he sent many people to search for her, but her daughter seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all.
Three years later, when I had given up, one day, the mural suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the deep sea.
The wife told herself that she felt the breath of the goddess' scepter.
I must be happy to hear such news. Since my daughter became the second owner of the goddess's scepter, my wife has lost contact with the scepter. But now the contact is back, and the strangeness of the mural must be
The goddess is coming back!
Seven days ago, his wife left the deep sea and went to look for her daughter alone. He originally wanted to go with her, but he knew that he was needed more here.
The strange things under the sea will definitely attract interested people to hunt for treasure. When the time comes, there will be no leader, and the mermaid kingdom will definitely be hit.
It’s been seven days! I don’t know if my wife can bring their daughter back safely.
***********
Seven days later, Jessica put one hand on her chest and looked worriedly at the Thorn Lake not far away, which was surrounded by a large number of soldiers.
Just yesterday, she felt the fearful aura coming from the goddess's scepter.
After the goddess scepter is activated, its mood will change according to the mood of its owner.
Before, it had always been easy, so Jessica was no longer worried about her daughter's situation, she just wanted to find her as soon as possible.
But just last night, the deep fear gave Jessica an unknown premonition that something must have happened to her daughter.
She rushed to the Thorn Lake early this morning. She could clearly feel that her daughter was at the bottom of the lake. She wanted to go into the water to find her daughter, but she was blocked by a group of vicious soldiers.
Feeling the fear in her heart deepening, Jessica knew that her daughter must have encountered some danger. Looking at the hundreds of soldiers, Jessica took a deep breath and prepared to break through.
As a mermaid, she rarely encounters danger in the sea, so many mermaids are not very strong, but Jessica is different.
He is their queen, and she has been practicing hard to protect their people. Now she is a seventh-level water magician, so she is relieved to go out alone to find her daughter's husband.
As long as she doesn't encounter an overly powerful opponent, Jessica believes that she will be able to bring her daughter back safely.
While chanting complex spells, Jessica was eager to save her daughter and used a level 7 water group attack magic to control the wind and rain from the very beginning.
As the spell was uttered, the water in the Lake of Thorns turned into a long dragon that shot straight into the sky.
Long dragons rolled high, strong winds blew in the sky, and it started pouring rain.
As the rain fell, the soldiers felt that their movements seemed to be slowed down. This feeling made these soldiers clenched their swords vigilantly and looked around them warily.
"It's her! It's the woman from the morning!"
As a soldier exclaimed, everyone focused their attention on Jessica.
At this time, Jessica was hiding behind a big tree, trying to jump into the water while the soldiers were panicking. By then, even if the soldiers wanted to chase her, they would not be able to catch up.
The kind-hearted Jessica had a good idea. The magic she released before was not an attack skill. It just slowed down people's bodies. She didn't want to hurt anyone, she just wanted to go in and retrieve her daughter.
However, her good intentions were betrayed. A soldier discovered her, and all the soldiers' eyes were focused on her.
Looking at the soldiers who, although obviously much slower, were still approaching her fiercely with weapons, a trace of hesitation flashed across Jessica's face.
The heavy rain in the sky continued. As Jessica's mouth moved slightly, the soldiers who were still looking fierce suddenly put down their weapons and looked at Jessica with a calm expression.
Song of the Mermaid: Legend has it that the mermaid has a heaven-like singing voice. She often uses her singing to seduce passing sailors and cause the ship to hit the rocks and sink. The crew members become the mermaid's meal. Legend has it that the mermaid's voice can directly reach your heart from her heart.
, can directly control your consciousness.
But those are just legends. The real mermaid singing is the sound of nature that can soothe the human soul. She can remove the negative influence in the soul, allowing people to return to their true selves and the peace of mind.
For most soldiers, the endless killings and battles have long made them lose themselves, and it is the mermaid singing that temporarily washes away the sins in their hearts, so it can calm them down.
Seeing that her singing had an effect, Jessica also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the opponent was large in number, as a seventh-level water magician, she could easily defeat a group of ordinary soldiers. But she didn't want to increase the number of soldiers in vain.
After killing, if the battle can be resolved without bloodshed, that is what she wants to see most.
When Jessica saw the soldiers showing no intention of fighting, Jessica smiled brightly, wagging her fish tail and prepared to enter the Lake of Thorns.
The moment she turned around, there was a sudden roar from behind her, and then a sharp wind-piercing sound came from her ears.
Jessica chanted a spell subconsciously, and the temperature around the Mermaid Queen dropped suddenly, and the air began to condense. In an instant, several ice shields appeared in the void, and then quickly rotated around Jessica.
Unfortunately, there was too little time left for Jessica to cast the spell. This time was simply not enough for her to complete a complete spell.
The ice shield had just begun to condense and was not enough to withstand powerful attacks.
So as soon as the ice shields began to take shape, they were broken by those sword energy, and then pointed at Jessica with unabated force.
As a mage, her reaction speed has never been her strong point. Without reacting at all, she was hit by the sword energy. Scales flew everywhere from the injured area, blood overflowed, and two terrifying wounds appeared on her legs and back.
The wound caused the skin and flesh to roll for a moment, and Jessica collapsed.
The timing of these sword attacks was quite precise. Just when Jessica thought the singing was working, she was not alert.
Seeing Jessica fall, the attacker walked out from the formation of soldiers.
The armor on this sneak attacker is obviously different from other soldiers. The coat of arms and exquisite workmanship on the armor vaguely indicate to people that this warrior is not simple. He is tall but quite thin, with a cold aristocratic temperament.
, in fact, the gloomy expression on his face makes it difficult to have a good impression of him.
When the sneak attacker saw Jessica for the first time, he knew that he was definitely no match for the seventh-level magician. However, as a strong man, he still had no problem resisting Jessica's singing voice, so he chose to endure it.
Hiding among the soldiers, he waited for the best opportunity to make a sneak attack. When he saw that his attack was successful, he walked out with a smile on his face.
The severe pain in her body made Jessica almost faint, but thinking that her daughter's life or death was still uncertain, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
Although she was a seventh-level mage, she was seriously injured. Even if she stood up now, she would still be no match for the swordsman who sneaked up on her.
So watching the despicable swordsman slowly walking towards her, she chose to treat him the same way he did.
The corners of Jessica's mouth trembled slightly, and she silently recited an obscure spell. Her body was shaking violently because of the pain. In the eyes of the sneak attack swordsman, Jessica was already at the end of her rope. If Jessica had the intention
A sneak attack will definitely paralyze oneself without moving.
Maybe God also planned to help Jessica, so by some strange combination of circumstances, her sneak attack worked.
Seeing the swordsman getting closer and closer, Jessica's magic was gradually completed. Just when the swordsman was about to bend down and turn Jessica over, the magic in her hand had formed and shot towards the opponent.
Tidal Arrow, the mermaid clan condenses the power of water into an elemental arrow, which can break the protection of any armor and hit the opponent directly.
The moment Jessica completed the spell, the swordsman suddenly felt threatened and subconsciously blocked his chest with the big sword in his hand.
But what frightened him was that the blue arrow seemed to ignore matter and directly penetrated the sword in his hand, and then pierced his chest. Then he could feel the violent water element constantly destroying his body structure, and then
He lost his vitality and fell to the ground.
Seeing the swordsman fall, Jessica did not relax her vigilance. The serious injury caused by the condensed tidal arrow had consumed all her mental power, and she no longer had any magic power to control those ordinary soldiers.
The soldiers slowly woke up after the swordsman died and surrounded him with angry faces.
Jessica showed a bitter smile, was she really unable to save her daughter?
There was a tremor in the ground, and Jessica, who was lying on the ground, felt it even more clearly.
The soldiers also turned their heads one after another. From a distance, a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor came quickly with neat steps. The armor style on their bodies was completely different from that of the palace guards.
There were more enemies, and Jessica's heart sank. Just when she was desperate, something happened. The heavily armored soldiers changed their route and surrounded the palace guards.
Although the guards looked puzzled and angry, they did not dare to resist when looking at the murderous soldiers.
A moment after the situation was brought under control, a soldier who looked like a general walked over quickly. Seeing Jessica's serious injury, he asked anxiously:
"Are you a friend of Granowen? Where is she? I'm going to save her!"
Jessica looked at him, with anxiety and worry written on his face. Out of her mermaid instinct, she felt his sincerity and kindness.
Regardless of whether he really went to save Graniven, she could only place her hope on him. Thinking of this, Jessica hesitated for a moment, and finally took off a jade pendant that was still stained with blood and handed it to the general.
inside.
"I am Granvin's mother Jessica. I can sense that she is under the water. Take this jade pendant with you. It can take you and your soldiers underwater."
Jessica looked at the general's resolute face, hesitated, and finally asked:
