Chapter 1116: Relics (Part )
How can this be? ! ! !
Looking at the mermaid statue that looked exactly like Evangeline in the center of the square at the end of Pearl Avenue, the two were silent for more than a minute before they recovered from their great shock.

"Let's go."

A colorful light of the root color appeared in his eyes. He looked towards the location of the mermaid statue from a distance. After seeing a familiar color, Leon couldn't help but frowned and took the initiative to walk forward.

"No matter what the situation is, let's go and take a look first."

It seems that this is the only way...

After hearing what Leon said, the old mermaid calmed down, clenched his palms and nodded slightly.

After all, the world is so big, it is not impossible that there are two people who look very similar. Besides, statues are not real people after all. Now it looks exactly like Evangeline from a distance, but maybe you can see the difference when you get closer.

With the hope that it might just be a coincidence, the young mermaid unconsciously overtook Leon who started first, and ran towards the empty square first. When the two walked closer along the Pearl Road, they found that the square that looked like a circle from a distance was actually in the shape of a water drop.

The entire square is paved with pale stone slabs that feel almost like bone. The original delicate patterns on the slabs have been worn away by time. A circle of huge broken columns with slightly inward-pointing tops, like the ribs of some giant beast, wrap around the entire square from the edge.

Below the intersection of the ends of these "ribs" is a fountain pool that has been dry for who knows how many years. The inside of the funnel-shaped pool wall has a large number of reliefs of waves and marine life. Unfortunately, these exquisite carvings have long collapsed and cracked into a pool of large and small fragments.

In the middle of this dry and decaying fountain, with its tail buried by a large number of debris, was the only intact huge statue that looked almost identical to the mermaid. As for why it was almost...

"She's not supposed to be Evangeline."

After carefully looking at the expression and appearance of the mermaid statue, the old mermaid couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although she looks exactly like Evangeline, her eyes are different... Although this statue smiles gently, there is an unconcealable pride in her eyes, the kind of..."

At this point, the old mermaid paused for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Leon who was frowning beside him, and then continued:
"It's that kind of unparalleled self-confidence, always believing that he must have done nothing wrong. Even if the whole world thinks there is something wrong with him, he will not doubt his arrogance for a moment...

Although Evangeline is also very proud, she is far from being as proud as her. This should not be a statue of Evangeline, it just looks like her. "

"really."

He didn't notice that the old merman had taken the cricket with him. After looking at "Evangeline" with a very bright smile for a while and carefully observing the appearance of the statue, Leon nodded and agreed with his judgment.

"It's probably not the same person. Although Evangeline is already very lively, the owner of this statue is more lively and energetic than her... um... but less mature than her. The face and eyebrows are more immature, and the upper curve of the body is slightly less undulating and flatter."

Yeah!
Following Leon's words and observing the appearance of "Evangeline", the old merman couldn't help but completely relax, and nodded slightly with a look of relief in his eyes.

Although it is very similar, it is still a little less than the real Evangeline...isn't it? Are you a little too careful in observing my daughter? What the hell do you want to do by knowing so much? ! ! ! In the suddenly alert eyes of the old merman, Leon seemed to have discovered something on the statue. He suddenly flipped over the guardrail that had long collapsed at the edge of the fountain pool and stepped into the thick layer of rubble on the bottom of the pool.

After countless years of weathering and erosion, the fragments peeling off the bottom of the fountain pool appear hard, but in fact they have already become brittle. If you step on them lightly, they will break into pieces and kick up a large amount of pale dust.

Amid the rising smoke and dust, Leon walked to the bottom of "Evangeline" with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Seeing the nervous expression of the old merman, Leon reached out and touched the statue's blue-gray fish tail.

"Wow..."

The sound of surging waves rang out, and the old mermaid was shocked to find that with Leon's touch, everything around him was covered with colorful shadows.

The cracks on the rows of shell palaces in the distance were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the faded pearls on the road leading to the central square also regained their luster in the blink of an eye.

Soon after, the arched columns surrounding the square also "grew" back, and a large number of reliefs that had peeled off due to wind erosion condensed from dust and restored to their original positions one by one.

Tightly intertwined snake scales and fish tails, rusty yellow anchors and plain white sails, opened clam shells and sparkling pearls... the entire ruins are rapidly "resurrecting" under the colorful arc of light, and are regaining their vitality.

But at the same time, the originally intact mermaid statue in the ruins was "dying" rapidly at the same speed. The fish tail of "Evangeline" that was originally leisurely resting on the reef base was stretched tight, and the intact tail fin at the end broke and collapsed, revealing a hideous cross-section of broken bone spurs.

Her previously straight back suddenly fell backwards as if hit by something, and she leaned half paralyzed on the base of the reef, her face looking into the distance with grief and despair, her hands tightly grasping something, holding it in front of her blood-stained chest.

As the colorful light flowed, a sea-blue trident that was bent by a huge force began to grow out of nothing from the palm of her hand. The tip pierced through her bloody chest and penetrated the reef base beneath her, nailing "Evangeline" to it.

? ! ! !
Looking at Evangeline being cruelly nailed to the pedestal, the shocked young mermaid couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his tongue in his mouth was so anxious that it was tied into a knot.

"This? This?! This?!!"

This is a kind of "message" from the past, and it is a message that can only be activated by those who have mastered the roots.

After touching the mermaid statue, he saw that there was a small piece of the root color missing from his palm. Leon frowned and didn't rush to decipher "this" young mermaid. Instead, he reached out and touched it again...

But it was grabbed by a huge and somewhat cold hand!
"What are you doing!"

Under the shocked gazes of Leon and the other man, "Evangeline" who was nailed to the base of the reef suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Leon who was reaching for her butt with some dissatisfaction.

"Just touching it once is enough, why is that not enough?"
