Chapter 183 Discovering the Godhead
The night is low, and the stars are like the sea.
The Nusha Island troll warrior closed the window tightly. After the thin curtains blown by the breeze stopped fluttering, the troll returned behind Hazan.
At the same time, another troll released a spell and set up a barrier to isolate the outside world.
Finally, Hazan waved his arm gently, and a few magic candles lit up in the dark room, illuminating the mermaid sitting on the edge of the table.
After doing all this, Hazan led his men and retreated slightly to stand behind Li Feng and Xia.
Because he noticed the strange movement of the mermaid eggs, Hazan returned immediately with the troll warriors and listened to the instructions.
Seeing everything Hazan did, Li Feng sighed in his heart, this troll is really sincere and good at arranging things.
Regardless of the identity or strength of the mermaid opposite, his arrangement directly overwhelmed the opponent in terms of momentum.
But the mermaid seemed to have seen the world.
Even in the presence of so many people, she still smiled, her broad fish-like tail hanging down from the table.
By the candlelight, Li Feng looked carefully at the female mermaid.
She has a human upper body, a plump figure, fair skin, a beautiful face, and ears like fish fins, sticking out from the soft and thick curly hair.
Her curly hair is dark brown and extends long to her waist, and starting from the waist, her body has the characteristics of a fish.
The sea-blue fish scales with dots of fluorescence are mixed with purple-red like the sunset.
She wore no cloth clothes, and her key parts were only covered with fish scales.
Li Feng, who saw a mermaid in person for the first time, suddenly felt emotional.
I think about how many players at that time clicked on the closed beta application after seeing the mermaid character in the game promotion.
This has been a life-long trap.
"Who are you……"
After a brief silence, Li Feng asked the female mermaid.
Somehow, he always felt that this face looked familiar, he must have seen it somewhere.
"cough……"
The female fish lightly covered her lips when she heard the words, and smiled enchantingly:
"Sir, you are such a noble person, so forgetful. It has only been a few days, and you have already forgotten the performance you just watched.
Oops, I’m quite embarrassed to talk about this! "
Li Feng:? ? ? Good guy, I remembered.
She turned out to be the queen in the story performed at the Theater of Sorrow, no wonder this face looked so familiar.
As for her embarrassment... Li Feng understood it instantly by recalling the performance.
I remember that on the second floor of the theater, there was a drama about her and the prince at midnight. Of course, she put away her fish tail at that time.
But...good guy, Li Feng is a little embarrassed when he thinks of the scene at that time.
It's like the protagonist of a movie you've seen before suddenly appears in front of you.
How should I put it, it’s pretty much that.
'Is she the queen? But why is she so coy? ’
Xia asked Li Feng through the contract. She also guessed the identity of the mermaid, but she didn't understand what the mermaid meant.
In order not to lose face and look less smart in front of the troll subordinates and mermaids, Shia silently asked Li Feng through the contract.
But because he had just been deceived by her and there were some unspeakable reasons, Li Feng did not intend to answer the question directly and only replied:
‘Minors don’t need to know so much. ’
Shia:......
Her mind was wandering. Because Li Feng made such a point, Xia suddenly wanted to understand something.
She glanced at Li Feng complainingly, then looked at the merman coldly, and Xia "hummed" in her heart.
Combining the events of her ancestors, Shia came to the conclusion that mermaids are indeed guys who can seduce people.
"so?"
Li Feng asked, it makes sense that the queen is a mermaid.
He remembered that in the story, the queen was a supernatural being who knew magic and alchemy.
Li Feng still relied on the alchemy method used by the queen in the story to kill the stepdaughter princess, the mother of the gargoyle.
"So - introduce yourself."
The mermaid gently swayed her fish tail glowing with bright fluorescent light and smiled charmingly:
“My name is Delana Summer Night.
Many epochs ago, before the earth was split into islands and humans were still in the age of ancestors, I married the king of this land.
Later, the king died, and I became the queen of the land under your feet. "
"We already have a queen here."
Hazan heard the hidden meaning of Delana's words and immediately made a serious correction to defend the Black Dragon Queen.
"Oops——"
After hearing this, Delana made a look of realization. She looked at Xia, then at Hazan, and corrected in a sweet voice:
"I think our Black Dragon Queen is still an underage princess, right?"
Then she glanced at Li Feng and then back to Xia under Xia's unkind eyes, and said to her in a very understanding tone:
"That's right. When our advanced extraordinary race reaches adulthood, we always have some troubles."
"snort!"
Xia raised her chin and snorted coldly. Her face turned slightly red because of Delana's words, and her aura of intelligence surged.
As a subordinate, Hazan immediately straightened up and looked serious, and the room was instantly tense.
As the ceiling of combat power, Shia's anger instantly overwhelmed Delana, and the mermaid could only sneer and bow her head and admit defeat.
The conflict that occurred at this moment left Li Feng on the side confused.
Looking at a room full of extraordinary races, as a human Li Feng suddenly felt like "I seem to have encountered a knowledge barrier again."
‘Did something happen that I don’t understand? ’
Li Feng quietly asked Xia through the contract.
‘Human beings don’t need to know so much. ’
Xia replied after taking away the pressure.
Li Feng: ... This girl has a strong desire for revenge.
Forget it, let's get back to business.
Retracting his thoughts, Li Feng continued to ask:
"So why did you marry the king? I think he is just a mortal, right?
Also, what about your stepdaughter of the Gargoyle Mother?"
Seeing that Xia no longer pursued the matter, Li Feng continued to ask questions. Hai Zan took a step back slightly, and the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.
Delana smiled and replied:
"Well, there are two reasons why I married the king. The first is..."
Speaking of this, Delana suddenly paused, lowered her eyes and sighed with a smile for a moment, and then continued:
"The second reason is that there is a godhead hidden under this land... The Gargoyle Mother and I are here for the godhead.
We both want to become the master of this land and then obtain the godhead under the earth."
What? Godhead!
When these words came out, Li Feng, Xia, and Hai Zan were stunned for a moment in the room with only the dim magic candlelight.
There is a godhead under the Storm Island?
Oh no, the earth had not yet split, and this place was not called Storm Island.
All the clues in his mind were intertwined. Li Feng thought for a while and then asked:
"What happened later? Who got the godhead?"
Although he had some guesses, Li Feng still wanted to get a clear answer.
"Sir, you really like to joke."
Delana smiled:
"If the godhead was really obtained by me or the mother of the gargoyles, we would not have been trapped in the Theater of Sorrow for so many years and fought each other for so many years."
The moonlight poured like water, and Delana began to tell the past.
Li Feng finally sorted out the cause and effect, as well as the timeline.
As early as the beginning, before the earth split.
When humans were in the ignorant ancestors, the Endless Sea was still ruled by extraordinary races such as dragons and mermaids.
As a mermaid, Delana Xiaye was ordered by the patriarch to come to this land from the deep sea.
She became a human, married the ruler of this land, and planned to become the ruler from queen to queen.
To put it bluntly, Delana conquers the world by conquering men.
This move is not for anything else, but for the godhead left by the Creator under this land.
Because the prerequisite for obtaining the godhead is to become the ruler of this land first.
Hearing this, Li Feng's heart sank slightly. If the governor wants to obtain the godhead, then he has already met the prerequisite.
Delana continued to narrate.
At first, her plan went smoothly. The King of the Unfortunate Kind loved her very much, and she even fell in love with the king.
Mermaids have a very long life span, and Delana began to plan to accompany the kingdom for life.
When the kingdom naturally grows old and dies, she will succeed to the throne as queen and take away the godhead.
However, when she saw the daughter born to the king's predecessor, all her plans were disrupted.
Sure enough, the godhead not only attracted her, but also attracted others.
For example, the mother of gargoyles carved on the spire of the unknown palace.
The mother of gargoyles replaced the real daughter of the kingdom.
She planned to kill the king secretly, and then legally succeeded to the throne from the princess to the queen.
It was exactly the same as Delana's plan.
‘The king is so pitiful.’ Li Feng thought.
“We fought secretly at first, until she killed my husband, the king.”
In the dim room, Delanna’s voice was faint:
“Now that things have come to this, our war has been exposed.
The mother of the gargoyles is immortal. I tried various methods, and finally dug out her heart and threw her in the forest.
The real situation is similar to what you saw in the theater.
But later I found that the mother of the gargoyles who lost her heart was still alive.
I asked the chief to find various secrets and finally found a way to kill her.
But I was too weak at that time. I didn’t dare to pick up a knife to face her directly, so I designed to trick her into eating a poisonous apple.
But in the end, by mistake, because of the necrophiliac prince, she came back to life, and I reaped the fruits of my own labor.”
“So you should have obtained the godhood, right?”
Li Feng asked directly, looking past the mermaid with a sad expression.
“Yes, after all, you had become the queen at that time.”
Xia added and pointed out the key points.
They both knew this story by heart.
Even if Delana's story was sad and emotional, they immediately found loopholes.
"Oh, really, I'm sad!"
Although she was sad, Delana smiled and said:
"Indeed, after I took the throne first and threw the mother of gargoyles into the forest, I got part of the godhood."
"Part?"
"Yes, extracting the godhood is not like picking apples, which can be done with a little effort.
And considering my tolerance, this is a long and slow process."
Delana explained with a smile, her soft long hair trembling slightly.
"What about the part of the godhood you got?"
Li Feng asked.
"I said before, I just came here on orders, not for myself."
Delana's eyes moved, and she didn't seem to care much about the godhood, and continued:
"The part of the godhood I got was naturally given to the leader of the mermaids."
'Another mermaid leader, the mermaids actually have part of the godhood? ’
Xia frowned when she heard this, and recalled the power struggles over the years to judge whether Delana’s words were true or false.
After a quick thought, she felt that this statement should be credible.
She secretly glanced at Li Feng, who understood what she meant and nodded slightly.
Although he didn't know about the epic wars between various races in history.
But just from the fact that Delana was trapped under the Theater of Sorrow for so long, he felt that she didn't embezzle that part of the godhood.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so weak.
"What about the remaining godhood? Did the Gargoyle Mother get it?"
Li Feng continued to ask, because at the end of the story, the princess disguised as the Gargoyle Mother succeeded to the throne as the queen.
She also had the prerequisites to obtain the godhood.
However, Li Feng clearly remembered that when he killed the Gargoyle Mother, there was no unexpected discovery.
"No."
Delana shook her head and sighed:
"The world is a mess, not only for me, but also for her. The Gargoyle Mother got nothing in the end."
"Why?"
The answer was not surprising, but Li Feng began to be interested in the process.
"I know that extracting the divine power cannot be done in one go, so I first placed a ban on the mermaid, so that even if the mother of the gargoyles has a chance to turn the tables, she can't take away the divine power."
Delana was a little proud when she said this. She raised her eyebrows slightly and tilted her head slightly, revealing more of her fish-fin-like ears.
Then the expression on her face changed again, turning into melancholy:
"So after she became the queen, she built the Sad Theater and played the distorted stories over and over again.
She used the hearts of the people she had deceived as the material for the spell, and then tortured me to make me remove the ban.
It's just that..."
Delana looked at Xia and smiled:
"It's just that the black dragon and the lava lord were at war at this time, and the black dragon injected enough power to become a god into the earth to suppress the lava lord.
The earth was shattered, including the land under our feet.
And it happened that the mother of the gargoyles was torturing me in the theater at that time. The flames struck, the world turned upside down, and the Sad Theater sank into the deep sea, and we have been trapped in it.
It was not until today, several epochs later, that we saw the light of day again."
The faint moonlight penetrated the gauze-like curtains from the window, and Li Feng nodded slightly.
So that's it, the cause and effect are all reasonable.
"Then..."
Sorting out the known clues in his mind, Li Feng asked:
"Where did the mermaid take the half of the godhead?"
In fact, he not only wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the godhead, but also wanted to ask what the underwater city was? Where did the mermaids take it to?
But after thinking about it, when the mermaids took the underwater city away, Delana should have been trapped in the Sad Theater.
"Sir, our mermaids are cursed by the seven gods."
Delana did not answer directly, but just smiled and talked about other things:
"But before being cursed, there was a secret circulating in our tribe.
The secret said that the world is like a star, not just one, but many.
Moreover, travelers from other worlds are controlled by gods who do not belong to the Endless Sea. When they walk among us, even the seven gods cannot tell them apart."
Delana's tone gradually became mysterious, and after she finished speaking, she just looked at Li Feng with a smile.
After a moment of surprise, Li Feng calmed down the trembling in his heart and smiled faintly, but countless thoughts turned in his mind.
'She knows the existence of the game? The existence of the system? The existence of the player? Is she deliberately pointing at me?
But how could the mermaids know these things? What about the Seven Gods?
Is the Seven Gods' curse on the mermaids related to this matter? ’
Many questions flashed through his mind. Li Feng suppressed those thoughts and replied in a confused tone, just like Xia and Haizan:
"What an interesting secret."
Seeing Li Feng's answer, Delana raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled and said no more.
Outside the window, the night clouds were lingering, covering the bright moon floating in the sky, and the dark room was silent for a while.
After a while, the troll Haizan thought and whispered to Li Feng:
"Sir, even if there is only half of the godhood, it is of great importance. It will definitely be different after you get it.
Your Excellency must prepare early to avoid being intercepted by others."
"Yes, it is indeed early..."
Xia agreed with Haizan's point of view and said casually.
However, halfway through the words, she suddenly realized that something was wrong and froze in her place.
‘Haizan actually let this human prepare in advance instead of letting himself?
When did the loyal Haizan betray? ! ’
