Chapter 417 The Return of the Sea
Shade walked slowly into the water, but frowned and looked Look at your arms.

Although I have experienced swimming in the sea many times, this time I entered the water, but I obviously feel that my affinity for water has improved. The so-called affinity does not mean that the ocean can be manipulated, but that the ocean welcomes Shade's return. The skin is stained with sea water, and it even feels smoother than the air on land.

This is definitely not because the sea water turns red, after all, Shade has nothing to do with the [Scarlet Spiral Lord]. Therefore, it was probably the lump of meat that he ate just now, which enhanced his affinity for water.

"What level of relic are you?"

He asked in a low voice.

Just then plunged headlong into the water, and with a small string of air bubbles emerging from the bottom, Shade's silhouette scurried forward like a swimming fish underwater. Originally he was only a little swimmer, but now he feels like he's really turned into a fish underwater.

After leaving the small wharf under the sea cliff, Shade probed under the water to confirm his direction and found that it was not far from the beach. The turbulent waves and rain forced him to return to the water surface as soon as possible, and when Shade staggered out of the red water, it was ten minutes later.

He gasped to his feet, turned and looked towards the sea behind him.

Under the dim yellow sky, the red giant waves are constantly hitting the direction of the Lengshuigang wharf. The strange composition makes people feel uneasy instinctively. And on the submerged beach in the distance, there are a few black dots above the water.

Shade wondered, then suddenly stared wide-eyed.

Those black dots are human heads, which are walking towards the depths of the ocean, and currently only the heads above the shoulders that have not been immersed in the sea. And just when Shade wanted to go into the water again, trying to pull them back, someone walked by.

It was a wobbly middle-aged man in checkered pajamas and a nightcap. After being pulled by Shade, he fell to the ground immediately, then got up each minding their own business and kept walking forward in the rain.

Because Shade is still pulling him, it's just standing there.

The man's eyes are open, but there is no expression in his eyes. In addition, on the right half of his face, there is actually a tattoo of scarlet's fish face and fish tail. The tattoo swelled up like a scar after being exposed to the rain and quivered with the heart rate.

"Sir, can you hear me?"

Shade wanted to try to see if he could wake the person. But at this time, it was discovered that more and more people were appearing on this vast sandy beach, swaying towards the ocean with the same frequency.

Under the dim yellow sky, in the red ocean, everyone is blank-eyed and has tattoos on their sides. The legs were stained with sea water, and then the water level got higher and higher. And so they went to the depths of the ocean, until Shade could no longer see.

Turning around and looking towards the direction of the city, more people appeared on the far side of the beach, and together with those who had stepped into the red ocean, under the dim yellow sky of Coldwater Harbor, they formed a strange color, A creepy, creepy image.

They will send their bodies and souls to the ocean, so that the giant mermaid corpse attracted by ceremony will eventually engulf the city with the waves.

"Why are there so many people infected with the Mermaid Curse? Isn't the number of infected people only two digits?"

Thinking to himself, Shade slammed the back of the head of the man in front of him, and then successfully He knocked out. Shade hoped he was knocked out, after all he hadn't learned how to knock people out. Just as soon as Shade let go, the person who fainted on the beach actually jumped up, then shook his body again, and stepped into the scarlet sea with his head drooping along with the people who were shaking around him.

He couldn't stop these people at all.

The icy rain hit the face, the red on the sea, the yellow in the sky, and the team of people on the ocean and the beach, at this moment, Shade really felt cold in his heart:
“ Lecia"

He didn't care about these strangers, turned around and ran towards the Avrolla Manor.

The beach where Shade lands is not far from the Avrora estate. Leaving the beach, only to find that the church is not inactive. On the streets of Binhai, at intervals, there will be ordinary person priests wearing robes holding the scriptures, loudly preaching the teachings of the righteous gods. At least two-thirds of people who walk out of the city unconsciously pass them out and pass out.

Police barricaded major intersections near the beach to keep people from walking out of their homes unintentionally. Excluding the people who were stopped by the church and the police, the rest was what Shade had just seen on the beach.

In this way, the number of people infected with the "mermaid curse" in Coldwater Harbor is at least four figures. And at least 90% of them were stopped in the urban area. The Diocese of Lengshuigang was indeed well prepared.

And the preparation of the church is not only that, but what they really want to prevent is the tsunami flooding Coldwater Harbor, causing the death of the whole city. Therefore, most of the people who are currently acting are ordinary clergy members of the church. Together with the police and the Cold Water Harbor garrison, they are fighting the fish people who are trying to start a riot in the city and on the beach.

Shade had more than one shootout as he made his way from the beach to the estate. But he did not find the ring warlock of the Scarlet Esoteric Cult, nor did he see the ring warlock squad organized by the church. Obviously, the battlefield is not only on land.

The forbidden relics set up by the murlocs for the Avrolla Manor were broken at dawn. When Shade came to the manor, the police were still surrounded, and no one was allowed to approach. Although it was raining and the weather was strange, there were so many people nearby that the carriage even blocked the door of the tavern where Shade had been to in the second half of the night.

In addition to the police, there are also the Cold Water Harbor Navy, the priests of the church, the private armed forces of local nobles, and a small number of mercenaries with guns that Shade can't see.

Such a chaotic situation is beyond Shade's expectations. Fortunately, the manor is now in a state that allows free entry and exit. The guests who came to the banquet are leaving in batches. It's just that the church's warlock squad is blocked at the entrance of the manor. Anyone who wants to leave now must undergo the most rigorous physical examination. This has led to a group of guests staying in the manor and refusing to leave. They plan to wait until the church. Check it out and relax.

Using [Lagle's Jump] to avoid the church's sight, Shade also managed to infiltrate the manor. At this time, there were people almost everywhere in the Avrora Manor, and it was not uncommon for people like Shade to be dripping with water.

It's just that the corridor on the first floor leading to the wine cellar was blocked by the church, and going upstairs against the flow of people, Shade didn't see Miss Avrolla, nor Lacie. Ya Princess.

But Demonness has not forgotten Shade, and specially left the servant on the third floor to wait for him to come back. Through Miss Avrora's message, Shade realized that Laccia Princess didn't want to bump into the church, so she went to the beach behind the manor to relax. And Demoness still has work to do, Shade very much suspects that, through the explosion of that steam bomb, she has found Darkness with the cultist.

"Could it be that Miss Avrora is going after Darkness?"

Although Luvia's divination shows that Darkness will not die in Coldwater Harbor, but will die today and tomorrow. Set off for Tobesque in two days. But going to Tobeysk intact is completely different from going to Tobeysk with only one breath left.

"However, what is Lascia doing at the beach at this time?"

With such doubts, Shade walked out of the mansion again and walked through the garden to the beach. The beach behind the manor and the harbor outside the beach are all part of the Avrolla manor, which means that this huge area is theoretically owned by Shivi Avrolla.

The beach is very large, almost twice the size of the gardens, buildings and courtyards. Because of the rain and the horror of the gunfight in the first half of the night, there are not many people on the beach now.

Shade at first hasn't seen Lazia yet, worried that she has gone into the sea. He ran to the beach and turned around anxiously for two times. When he turned around, he saw Laixia standing on the edge of the beach, looking at him under the grape trellis near the manor garden.

There were only two maids by her side, one held an umbrella for her, and the other held a clerical-grade relic [Soul Fishing Rod] that Shade bought from Old John, with a transparent fishing line tied to Princess. on the wrist.

Seeing Shade running over quickly, the red-haired girl deliberately twisted her body, as if she didn't want Shade to see the side profile of her right half. But when Shade got close, he inevitably saw the swollen red tattoo on Laccia's face.

Because of the combined suppression of the sage-level relic [Saint's Curse-Removal Stone], the clerical-level relic [Saint Laurent's Ring], and the fishing rod, Lecia seems to be in good condition. It's just that when Shade walked up to her, the red-haired girl raised her hand to cover her face again and didn't look at him.

When Shade grabbed her wrist very impolitely, took her right hand away forcibly, and touched the swollen and hot tattoo with her own fingers, Laccia looked up with red eyes and looked towards him. :
"Is it interesting that I look like this?"

Usually Her Highness the Princess would never say such things. Although the curse did not let her enter the ocean, her mental state was still unavoidable. been affected.

Shade glanced at the two maids, their eyes looked towards the empty beach ahead, as if there was something very attractive there.

"I've even seen Dorothy's face turned into a murloc. What are you doing now? You know what happened then."

By touching the mermaid tattoo on Laccia's side face, Shade also determined that the curse was suppressed.

"Dorothy"

I don't know if there was a comparison or if she heard a familiar name, Lacia's expression really relaxed.

Shade's fingers lightly stroked the tattoo, and then added:
"Besides, this is not a permanent tattoo, even if it is permanent, use a knife to cut the flesh on the face. Scrape it off, and I will treat you with [Food of Fullness], and it will restore your most beautiful appearance completely.”

The wounds treated by [Food of Fullness] will never be left behind. any trace.

Laccia hummed softly:
"What did you do just now, why do you feel that you have changed so much? But Dorothy said, you seldom take the initiative to praise outside of greeting. The girls are beautiful."

"That doesn't matter. Lecia, why didn't you stay in the room? You came here instead?"

Shade asked slightly frowned. .
