Chapter 1117: Relics
Chapter 1117: Relics (Part )
"?!?!?!" x2
Listening to "Evangeline"'s speech, which had a very familiar tone and even the same level of abstractness, not only did the old mermaid gasp, but even Leon unconsciously widened his eyes.
This is…not right! It’s definitely not right!
Compared with the beautiful mermaid, this "Evangeline" in front of me looks younger, has flatter chest and buttocks, and has a more "superior" look and expression. They don't feel like the same person.
But the taste when she opened her mouth... hiss... this was so piercing, but she couldn't help but want to create some abstract feelings, it's so fucking hot!
"you you you……"
Hearing the mermaid statue's words, which sounded exactly like his daughter's, the old mermaid couldn't help but move closer, and said with a look of surprise:
"Are you Evangeline?"
"Evangeline..."
The mermaid statue was silent for a moment, then smiled and asked:
"Of course I...Huh? Why are you here?"
Is there someone behind me?
Seeing "Evangeline" suddenly look behind him with a look of surprise, the old merman turned around quickly, but there was nothing behind him. But after he turned around, a whistling evil wind suddenly came from behind him.
"boom!"
The jade hand that was more than half a person's height suddenly smashed down, knocking the old mermaid who had turned his back to the ground with a slap. Looking at the unconscious old mermaid in the pit, "Evangeline" who was nailed to the reef couldn't help but sighed comfortably, and then explained to the frowning Leon with joy:
"Sorry, I was a little annoyed when I saw him just now, and I couldn't help but want to hit him... Although I didn't use any heavy hands, you two were together, right? Why didn't you save him just now?"
"..."
Because you really didn't use much force, and I just reached out and touched you, and a lot of the root color in the palm of my palm was sucked away, and it hasn't recovered yet.
Looking at the mermaid statue in front of him that seemed dead but not completely dead... or it was hard to tell whether it was alive or not, Leon frowned, put away the root color that had a defect in his palm, and asked:
"Who are you? Why can you absorb my root color?"
"The color of the root?"
After hearing what Leon said, the mermaid statue couldn't help but raise its eyebrows slightly, and then said in a daze:
"That's right. These powers that are stained after peeking into the source are indeed like the overflowing colors from the canvas. You are right to call it the color of the source.
As for why I can absorb it, it is because I also have such power... at least I once had it."
"?!"
Looking at the mermaid statue in front of him with a somewhat sad expression, Leon's heart couldn't help but move suddenly.
"Between the roots?"
"of course."
After staring at Leon with a strange look in its eyes, the mermaid statue nodded slightly, and then said curiously:
"Except for the roots of the main planes, there is no other way to obtain the color of the root, right?
Also, you have clearly awakened the talent to face the source, so why do you seem to know nothing? Shouldn't the consciousness left by the guide in the source tell you everything?"
"..."
Between the roots...the guide...
After listening to the mermaid statue's questions, the scattered information in Leon's mind was finally pieced together.
I had previously passed through the Origin Clay Tablet of the Source God Platform and went deeper into the "No. 3 Origin Room". I learned that William might be a member of an ancient race. Because of the effect of the badge, I replaced William's identity and was mistaken for a member of that ancient race. But before I went down, the third generation director had also gone down once and awakened the consciousness of the guide in the No. 3 Origin Room, consuming his "retention time", causing him to disappear without a chance to explain anything, leaving only a sentence of going to the old land.
And since there is root number "3" and William, who transformed from an ancient race into a pure-blooded human, then there may very well be roots with other numbers and "Evangeline", who transformed from an ancient race into a mermaid!
"There were some minor errors on my end, and he wasn't able to tell me the whole story."
After confirming the identity of the "Evangeline" in front of him, Leon's eyes flickered slightly, and then he took the initiative to ask:
"Are you one of my people too? What's your root number?"
Tribe?
The mermaid statue looked down at Leon who was gazing at it calmly. After being silent for a while, it suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"?"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to."
The mermaid statue raised its right hand with broken fingers, wiped the tears from the corners of its eyes with the back of its hand, and said with a smile:
"My dear tribesman, if I am not mistaken, your guide may have made more than just a small mistake, right?
The relationship between us, the reason why we survived, and the mission of these unfortunate people who were chosen...did he not tell you about it?"
"..."
"It's okay. It's a good thing to be a little vigilant. Besides, I'm almost dead now. I just relied on the little bit of root color you gave me to come back to life for a short time. So I don't need to care whether you are on guard against me or not."
Looking at Leon who remained silent after his little plan was exposed, the mermaid statue stretched out its white wrists, supported itself on the black reef base, and tried to change to a more comfortable position, then continued with a smile:
"Since you have allowed me to live for a while, I can answer your previous question... My roots are numbered 9, which means that the race I was born into is a powerful race with a number within 10, and the possibility of completing the ultimate mission is very high."
The ultimate mission? Number 9?
Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.
From what she said, it seems that the higher the number, the better the race? The No. 9 she gave birth to is a race similar to the sea people, so the No. 3 race William gave birth to is... human?
"What do you mean by ultimate mission?"
After firmly keeping this news, whose authenticity could not be confirmed yet, firmly in mind, Leon asked:
"Have we been born with a mission?"
"Correct."
The mermaid statue nodded, then stopped smiling and replied with a somewhat indifferent look in her eyes:
"But whether you are willing to take on this mission depends on your own opinion... I am not interested in this mission that stinks more than a stinky crab."
“So what is this ultimate mission?”
"Haha, guess~"
"?"
After glancing at Leon who was frowning, the mermaid statue leaned on the reef base, swinging its scarred tail, and said leisurely:
"I've already said that I hate this mission. You're such a clueless idiot that you don't even know the specifics of the mission. So why should I tell you? Is it because you look like my style?"
"..."
"That's so weird~"
After Leon was stopped by this sentence, the mermaid statue looked down at his appearance and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement:
"You must have awakened not too long ago. This must be the first time I see you. But why do I like you so much?"
