Chapter 319 The Cursed Maiden
"I want to buy currency relics, any dangerous Either way."

Seeing the sea from a towering cliff is completely different from standing on the coast, and Shade can even see the black smoke rising from the Mia-sized ship 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 thing in my hands for now. But I can help you keep an eye on it."

Mr. Edmund said that although Shade had good luck in the tavern, It's not that easy to get another one.

"Okay then."

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 with my visit today."

Miss Prince said, Eyes looked towards the distant sea level. It was dark when Shade got here in the morning, but it was completely clear 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 this thing in your hand, if Lengshuigang City can find a way to suppress the curse, it must be here with the exception of the Orthodox Church."

"Have you ever touched a mermaid statue?"

p>

Before Mr. Edmund spoke, Shade asked in surprise.

"Yeah, is it weird? Oh, I seem to have forgotten to tell you."

Goldilocks didn't look at Shade, but continued to look at the sea in the distance. , the end sound disappeared into the rumbling sound of water:
"That was a few weeks ago, when the curse had not yet erupted, I learned about the three mermaid statues from a friend's way, so I got one. , and then unfortunately contracted the curse."

There was not much frustration in her tone:

"I thought it would take at least half a year for the curse to break out, and the church also found it at that time. Knowing the curse method, didn't expect only a week and a half ago, I have already dreamed of the deep sea palace in my dream."

"This is already the late stage of the curse, how can it be so fast?"

The old man guarding the lighthouse was also surprised:

"You have seen it in your dream."

"No, I just fell into the deep sea in a dream, my consciousness was pulled Entering the abyss, saw the terrifying and twisted giant stone buildings outside the seabed temple, but did not see the giant mermaid corpse in the palace."

Even though I had heard the warehouse dispatcher describe it a few weeks ago After the scene in the dream, but listening to the sound of the waves at this time, and hearing the dream again caused by the curse, Shade is still a little uneasy.

He looked towards Miss Prince with some worry, didn't expect the female warlock he met by chance today, actually encountered such a terrifying thing,

Edmund Mr. frowned thought for a while and said:

"You are good luck, there is indeed a relic to fight against the curse. Although it is a clerical grade, it is very expensive."

"How much?"

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

"One thousand three hundred pounds, no bargaining. This kind of [relic] that resists the curse, the value is not comparable to ordinary clerical-level relics."

Shade subconsciously took it away She breathed coldly, but Miss Prince snorted, as if laughing:

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

This woman is richer than Shade imagined.

"Of course the bill of exchange is fine."

Mr. Edmund, who was guarding the clock tower, glanced at Shade, saw that the female warlock did not want to keep him away, and talked about the relics. Specific situation:
"Documentary-level relic, Saint Laurent's ring. The source of the relic is very clear, the god favored by the old god of the fifth era [demon wolf], the ring of the Great Demon female Roland. In the fifth era When it is turned into a relic, it is a very famous and powerful alchemy product, which can give the wearer a very strong curse resistance. It is useful for any curse, even if the wearer cannot be completely immune to the curse, it can also slow down the curse. Effect."

"Is it swag?"

Miss Prince asked.

"No, the ring fell into my hands a year ago. His previous owner went on an expedition to a new continent, and then had an unfortunate accident. The companion took the ring back to Coldwater Harbor, and was in urgent need of gold. Sell it."

Mr. Edmund said, Goldilocks thought about it and nodded:
"Yes, but I want to inspect the goods. In addition, you have other things about [Mermaid Dream] here. Any news? The ring impossible completely removes the curse, and I can't expect the church to find a solution soon."

"Do you know about the deep-sea murlocs who were summoned by ceremony?"

p>

The old man asked, Shade on the side looked up and looked towards the seagull above his head, not wanting to participate in this conversation.

It seems that everyone in this city knows about the "murmur shooting and killing people".

"Of course I do."

Miss Prince smiled:
"That was last week, and I know that the church is proceeding in this way. Investigating, but it seems to have entered a dead end, as if the deep-sea mermaid that was summoned by ceremony has become a human and disappeared."

Shade put his hands in his pockets and kicked the stones under his feet. Xiahai Cliff, a very boring look.

"Do you know 'Sea Sending Back'? It is said to be a ceremony related to those statues."

The old man said again, and then took a step ahead of Miss Prince and said:
"Even if you heard the news, you must have only heard it and didn't understand the full meaning of it. Only a folklorist who has lived in Lengshuigang for many years and knows the local ancient customs, such as me, can interpret the meaning of the nursery rhyme. ."

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

"We'll check out together later, what news, do you have any news? Say it all at once?"

"Okay, most nursery rhymes have their own origins, and the origin of 'the return of the sea' is actually the Early-Stage of this era, the local fishing village of Lengshuigang against a certain Evil God's sacrifice ceremony. Let me analyze it for you. The main body of the nursery rhyme is four lines."

He stretched out four fingers:
"The song of the mermaid is floating on the harbour - mermaids appear locally. Rumors, representing the Evil God Totem;

Even the bloody pirate ships lowered their sails--Evil God's family, appearing in the form of pirates to participate in the ceremony;
The sea of red is surging with waves- After the above two steps are completed, there will be a signal symbolized by the ocean becoming red;
The beautiful girl goes to the deep sea—sacrifice a girl."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head with a smile:
"Folklore is so interesting, as long as you know how to interpret it, you can see a lot of different things in just four sentences. Orthodox Church should also have a scholar who can come to my conclusion based on local folklore and legends, but definitely No faster than me."

The old man was very proud of his knowledge.

"This ceremony. Why does it sound like a summon?"

Shade, who had completely heard the conversation, suddenly said, and Miss Prince was also hesitantly nodded:
"Mr. Watson is right. If the mermaid statue was deliberately placed in the dock warehouse to be scattered, is there a cult behind this incident that wants to summon something?"

"I don't know about that, now that the mermaids do appear in Coldwater Harbor, and if unusual pirates show up in a few weeks, we'll know the answer."

Edmund Mr. said, and Shade, who only experienced the event of Evil God's coming more than a week ago, asked nervously:
"Excuse me, which god is this ballad related to?"

"Cold Water Harbor The small fishing village has disappeared for more than a thousand years, and the only information points to three gods. God of the Dead, who ruled over the dead in the sea, the legendary patron of the murloc race, the Scarlet Spiral Lord, and Some esoteric books record the storm god [Furious Storm] who was defeated by the righteous god [Peace and Loving Father]."

The old man replied, paused and added:
"These three All are Evil God."

Shade is familiar with the first, and the other two have only read it in books. The murloc race mentioned in it belongs to the humanoid intelligent race. But unlike the image of the beautiful girl who is good at singing in the story, the mermaid in this world is a brutal creature who likes to eat human flesh and is good at various evil spells and ceremony.

Facing the sea at this time, and hearing the names of three Evil Gods in a row, even Shade felt a little chill in his body.

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