Chapter 1103 The Daughter of the Sea and the Disappearing Director
Chapter 1103 The Daughter of the Sea and the Disappearing Director
[Ocean Disaster: A man who is rejected by the sea, after surviving the curse of the sea many times, will become the disaster of the sea instead]
[Effect of wearing: When in the "Ocean" terrain, you and the opposite sex who are in close contact with you will be immune to negative states]
[Advanced route: None]
[Hidden feature (no need to wear): A man who cannot be killed by the ocean has a soul freer than the ocean. When in ocean terrain, he will gain extra charm bonus. When facing a married person of the opposite sex who yearns for freedom, this feature will be doubled.]
[Hidden Feature 2 (No Need to Wear): Due to the hatred and fear from the ocean, when in ocean terrain, the probability of being involved in nearby high-intensity disasters will increase dramatically]
"..."
You are immune to negative states in the sea, but are easily swept into nearby disasters, and your attraction to married people of the opposite sex is doubled?
The effect of this badge... why does it smell so good...
After taking a somewhat awkward look at the upgraded new badge, Leon was swept out of the clamshell boat by the ocean current and felt the terrifying water pressure of the deep sea. He hurriedly stuffed [Ocean Disaster] into the badge slot.
It doesn't matter if it's a little smelly. Anyway, the hidden feature will be effective even if you don't wear it, so you might as well put it on directly and get immune to the negative states in the deep sea first!
"call!"
The moment [Ocean Disaster] was in place, Leon's breathing, which had been a little suffocated due to the influence of the water pressure, miraculously returned to normal.
It seemed as if the whole body had undergone some kind of transformation. A large amount of cold sea water flowed into Leon's nasal cavity and into his alveoli along the trachea, but it did not cause any harm. Instead, it directly provided a large amount of oxygen.
The originally tense skin and muscles suddenly relaxed their "defenses", allowing a large amount of seawater to leak into Leon's body, quickly filling up the "cavities", strangely balancing the pressure inside and outside, and perfectly eliminating the huge water pressure in the deep ocean.
After waving his arms curiously, feeling his body move as freely as on land, Leon couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
It seems that it is the same as I guessed. Underwater breathing and deep sea water pressure can also be counted as negative states and can be erased by the effect of [Ocean Disaster]. Although the hidden effect of this badge is bad, the wearing effect is still very good.
"Blur, blur, blur???"
Just as Leon gradually adapted to the new breathing pattern and began to try underwater activities without touching the ground, the mermaid mother and daughter who were also thrown out of the clam boat swam over, looking at him in surprise and spitting bubbles.
"Pooh!"
After exhaling all the remaining air in her lungs, Miss Salty Fish looked at Leon who was moving freely in front of her and asked with surprise:
"Why can you move directly in the deep sea? Are you using some abnormal thing like underwater breathing? Why can't I feel any fluctuations?"
Because I used a badge...but there's no need to explain this to you.
After smiling at Miss Salted Fish, Leon did not answer her question directly, but asked back:
"I am at least the director of the Cleanup Bureau. Even if I am weak, I won't drown if I go into the water, right?"
"..."
That's true...
Although she still didn't understand how Leon acted underwater, when she thought of his identity as the director of the Cleanup Bureau, this question didn't seem to be a problem, so Miss Salted Fish didn't ask any more questions.
Although she didn't say anything else, the beautiful mermaid who had just finished blowing bubbles pouted her lips slightly and said with a look of disappointment:
"How can you breathe underwater? You should hold your breath, then struggle in the sea with pain in your eyes and gesticulations, waiting for us to come and rescue you!"
"Huh?" x2
"Isn't this a classic scene of falling into the water? Haven't you seen the popular opera of the Kingdom of Seol?"
Facing the puzzled looks of Leon and the other man, the beautiful mermaid stretched out her body and circled around Leon gracefully. Then she clasped her hands in front of her chest and said with a look of longing:
"I remember that opera, it was about a sea princess who ran away from home after falling out with her husband. When she was collecting seaweed near the coast to relax, she happened to meet the prince's cruise ship. She was deeply attracted to the handsome prince, and then she accidentally caused a tsunami, which capsized the entire ship.
The handsome prince struggled desperately in the sea after falling into the water, so the princess of the sea tribe had to swim over at the risk of her life, kissed the prince and blew air into his mouth, finally blowing him up so much that he floated on the sea like a round balloon, and was finally rescued successfully..."
"???????" x2
No... the male lead is blown up? Which god wrote this script? And why is he having a falling out with his husband at the beginning? The female lead already has a husband from the beginning? Isn't this plot wrong? !
"Oh yeah, I remember what that play is called!"
As Leon looked as if he had said "Oli Gei", the beautiful mermaid suddenly clapped her hands vigorously and said with a firm face:
"'The Young Lady of the Sea'! The play was called 'The Young Lady of the Sea'! It was very famous at the time!"
The young woman of the sea of magic!
After his cheeks twitched violently twice, Leon could not keep up with the mermaid's overly abstract mind, so he had to tighten his face, turned his head to look at Miss Salted Fish, whose pupils were also shaking, and changed the subject with a stiff expression:
"How about... we get your ship back first?"
"Ah? Oh oh!"
Miss Xianyu, who was also shocked by the incredible plot, came to her senses and quickly estimated the current location of the three people, then shook her head and said:
"In fact, we don't have to look for it. We are already very close to the eye of the sea. It won't take us too long to dive down. Besides, Mother's boat has been broken by ice. Even if we find it, it may not be usable. We should just go down directly."
"it is good."
After nodding in agreement with Miss Salted Fish's words, Leon was afraid to hear some abstract plots like "Sleeping Young Woman", "Snow White Young Woman", "Young Match Selling Woman", etc., so he really didn't dare to stay for a moment and took the lead to dive to the bottom of the sea.
After Lyon dived hurriedly, Miss Salty Fish also reacted. She looked at the beautiful mermaid with some horror, then shouted "Wait for me", and hurriedly followed him with the current.
"Your Majesty Wendy."
Seeing that the beautiful mermaid woman was left behind by the two men for a short distance and had no time to catch up and launch a mental attack, Leon couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and then asked Miss Salted Fish behind him:
"What happened to those ice cubes just now? Does this happen often?"
"No, it's the first time I've seen it, too."
After escaping the mermaid's shameful territory, Miss Salty Fish regained some of her usual rationality and shook her head with a firm look:
"At least until my mother and I left the Tidal Realm last time, the ice on the seabed was still very stable, and there was no such large-scale breakup... well... or there was once!"
After frowning and thinking for a while, Miss Xianyu said uncertainly:
"During the days when I went to attend the Twelve Kingdoms Gathering, Grandpa and the other two descendants broke through the ice and went to the place where the ice first formed to check the situation. This situation might have occurred at that time."
So it is very likely that someone is digging ice right now? Lyon raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and then instinctively thought of the two directors who arrived at the Tide Realm first.
Yes, Director Cancer and Director Scorpio have been here for almost three days. Apart from testing the attitude of the sea creatures and investigating the conditions in the surrounding seas and the speed of ice formation, it is probably time to start breaking the ice.
Let’s meet up with them first!
After recalling what the Salted Fish mother and daughter had said about the attitude of the Vortex leader towards humans, Lyon decisively changed his itinerary. Instead of continuing to dive towards the eye of the sea, he slightly adjusted his direction and swam towards the location where the ice was floating.
"Your Majesty Wendy, I will not go to the Tidal Realm for now."
"Huh? Why?"
Miss Xianyu was slightly startled when she heard this, and asked in confusion:
"My mother and I only know part of the situation on the seabed. Grandpa should have more detailed records. Aren't you going to ask him?"
"not going."
Lyon shook his head and said:
"Listening to your previous description, I think your grandfather's attitude towards me will be even worse than that towards other people in the Cleanup Bureau. Director Scorpio and Director Cancer have already been to the Tide Realm. If they couldn't get any information out of me, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to get any information out of them.
So instead of going to your grandfather again, it would be better to meet up with Director Scorpio and get the ready-made intelligence from them directly. This way it would be faster."
It turned out to be the case.
After hearing what Leon said, Miss Salty Fish immediately understood his plan, and then changed direction and swam towards the source of the broken ice.
The strange thing is that as the two men dived deeper and deeper, as if they knew someone was coming to find them, the number of ice floes that rushed up from the depths of the ocean became fewer and fewer, and finally, there was no more ice floes rushing up.
However, even though large chunks of ice did not continue to hit them, Lyon and his companions' dive did not become easier. Instead, it became more and more difficult as they went deeper.
"No...something's wrong!"
When the two of them dived to a position about 200 to 300 meters from the bottom of the sea, they looked at the ice layer on the bottom of the sea, which was nearly twice as thick as before and almost 80 meters thick. Miss Xianyu, with a little frost on her eyebrows, could not help but cross her arms in front of her chest, and said with trembling teeth:
"It's so cold! And...and why did it suddenly become so much thicker?! So...it turns out that's not the case!"
"?"
Hearing the noise behind him, Leon couldn't help but turn his head to look, and then he was surprised to find that Miss Salted Fish's hair ends were covered with a thin layer of frost at some point.
And it wasn't just her hair, but also her eyebrows, corners of her clothes, fingertips, fish tail...all the ends of Miss Xianyu's body that were away from the "core" position were freezing at an extremely fast speed.
After seeing her appearance, Leon thought for a moment, then opened the badge panel and removed the [Ocean Disaster] that was constantly flashing with dark blue light in the slot.
At the moment when [Ocean Disaster] was removed, a bone-chilling ocean current suddenly hit Leon, and not only was his body quickly covered with a thin layer of frost, but the remaining seawater in his chest and lungs suddenly gave off a chill that penetrated his heart.
This is not an attack against Miss Salty Fish, but the entire seabed is cooling down rapidly!
After blowing away the ice in his nasal cavity with some discomfort, Leon did not immediately put on [Ocean Disaster] and continue diving. Instead, he grabbed the shivering Miss Salted Fish, endured the triple invasion of water pressure, suffocation and coldness, and swam back quickly.
Two hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, three hundred meters, three hundred and fifty meters... By the time the two men picked up the beautiful mermaid who was also frozen and returned to a position nearly five hundred meters from the seabed, the temperature of the ocean current had completely returned to normal.
"Why is it so sudden..."
"Wait a minute."
Waving his hand to interrupt the questions of the Salted Fish mother and daughter, after measuring the range of changes with his physical body and reinstalling the Ocean Disaster, Leon did not continue to observe the dark seabed with his naked eyes, but closed his eyes and switched to the soul vision of the Black Goat.
However, whether it was the black goat's soul vision or the power from the former God of the Heart Lake, the surrounding seabed was frighteningly empty, even more desolate than the world visible to the naked eye.
Even though the seabed was not completely dead, the heart lakes and souls of marine creatures occasionally entered Lyon's field of vision, but the two heart lakes that should have appeared did not appear.
In Lyon's dual vision, he could only see the souls of marine creatures that were so weak that they were just a glimmer of light, and their shallow hearts that were so thin that they could hardly accommodate any extra emotions except for survival and mating.
The souls of the two directors, who were suspected of digging up the ice on the seabed, causing a large amount of floating ice to rush up and crash into the clamshell boat they were riding, did not appear at the bottom of the ocean, but disappeared completely.
……
"Your Excellency! Lady Camilla! Something happened!"
After being allowed to enter, the mermaid attendant, whose face flushed with anxiety, rushed into the palace and reported to the two people sitting in the seats:
"The two directors of the Cleanup Bureau just dug through the ice on the seabed! And the people who were following them..."
"So we can't get in touch all of a sudden, right?"
"Yes……"
Hearing the old mermaid's question, the mermaid attendant was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reported:
"And it's not just the people who were following them. Even the people I sent to look for them couldn't be contacted! They..."
"They are not even true gods, and they are very far away. They must have been frozen by the aftermath and fell directly."
"what?"
"Okay, you go down."
After waving his hand to signal the mermaid attendant not to ask any more questions, the leader of the vortex clan spoke:
"Don't worry about those frozen people. I will go and get them out myself in a while. The surveillance is over now. Just pretend that you have never seen those two humans. Don't tell anyone about what happened in the past few days. Do you understand?"
"Okay...Ok..."
Confused by the answer of the vortex leader, the mermaid attendant went down with a puzzled look on his face. After the mermaid attendant left, the mermaid sitting on the shorter throne looked at her husband who looked happy next to her and said helplessly:
"Oliver, something has happened to the two directors of the Cleanup Bureau. Are you satisfied now?"
