Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

The crisis in the Dragon Palace was temporarily resolved, and Bubulu and others were treated as guests of honor and attended the dinner.

Before that, everyone got a glimpse of Hera. After a period of seclusion, she looked much better. However, she didn't have time to say anything more to them before she hurried away, presumably because she had something important to attend to.

There was still some time before the dinner started, so Yiyin asked Prime Minister Turtle for another piece of chocolate and then climbed onto the roof of the palace alone.

.

There is still snow in the Dragon Palace shrouded in dreams, but the hibernation day will not come so early.

When Yiyin climbed onto the roof, he found Hela La there and she smiled at him.

"It's a beautiful view, isn't it?"

Herala said, "It doesn't usually snow in the Dragon Palace. When it snows, it means hibernation is approaching. Fortunately, with your help, I can see the snowflakes one more time."

"What are you going to do?"

Yiyin fed chocolate to the green-haired turtle to replenish its energy while chatting with Hela.

"Brother, your idea is good, but that doesn't mean I can rest easy. As long as I am still the Fish Dragon Princess, I still have the responsibility to protect my people. Speaking of which, Qiqi told me that she plans to keep the Dragon Palace."

"But she is a human being, won't she be ostracized?"

"She said she saw courage in me and that she wanted to be as brave as me. She also said she wanted to stay and rebuild the Dragon Palace."

Herara chuckled. "It's great to be alive—By the way, I'm still quite curious about the fairy tale you mentioned earlier. Can you tell it to me again?"

"of course."

Yiyin nodded, and then started talking about the fairy tale that he had told countless times.

……

Long ago, deep in the vast ocean, there lived a kingdom of mermaids. The mermaid king had six beautiful daughters. The youngest, Alice, was kind and pure, possessing not only a beautiful voice but also a brave heart. Her grandmother would sometimes tell them strange stories about the sea, filling Alice's heart with longing for the human world.

The grandmother told them that mermaids can live for hundreds of years, but once they die, their souls will return to nothingness. Alice was very scared and wanted to have an eternal soul.

When Alice was 15 years old, she was allowed to float to the surface. She looked around excitedly when a big ship approached her. The people on the ship were celebrating the birthday of the prince. When Alice saw the prince, she was attracted by him.

Suddenly, a violent storm came, the wind and waves destroyed the ship, and the people fell into the water and sank to the bottom of the sea. Alice risked her life, and struggled to hold up the prince's head and pushed him onto the beach. Then she hid in the water far away, waiting for someone to rescue him.

At that moment, many people came out of the church. A young girl spotted the prince, called some people over, and rescued him. When the prince woke up, he thought it was the girl who had saved him. Returning to the sea, Alice told her sisters about her worries. Her sisters told her all kinds of news about the prince, so Alice decided to go find him.

Alice first sought out the witch and begged her to help her realize her wish of becoming human. The sea witch prepared a potion for her, telling her to drink it before dawn. This would transform her fish tail into human legs. Of course, the experience was extremely painful, and most importantly, once transformed into a human, she could never return to the sea as a mermaid. The witch also told her that if the prince, out of love, married her, she would gain an immortal soul. However, if the prince married someone else, Alice would turn into sea foam.

Alice was pale, but she was not afraid. She bravely asked the witch for the potion. In exchange, the witch took away her voice. Late at night, Alice set out.

Alice arrived at the prince's palace and drank the witch's potion on a rock. The pain caused her to faint. When she woke up, she saw the prince, who had saved her. She couldn't answer his questions because she was mute. She danced for him, captivating everyone, unaware of the excruciating pain she endured. Even more heartbreaking for Alice, the prince didn't realize she had saved him.

Later, the king chose a bride for the prince, a princess from a neighboring kingdom. The prince sailed to pick her up and discovered she was the girl who had saved him in church. The prince was about to marry his beloved. As night fell, poor Alice stood alone on the side of the ship, thinking of her distant home. Suddenly, her sisters appeared. Determined to save their sister, they sought the help of a witch. The witch, in exchange for their soft hair, gave them a sharp knife. Alice would survive if she stabbed the prince in the chest.

……

"and after?"

After hearing the key point, Herala couldn't help but ask.

Yiyin smiled.

"Then the sun rose. Alice was no longer to be found. All they could see was a sheet of dancing white foam on the waves beside the ship."

"..."

Hearing this, Helala's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She didn't expect that she would be such a sentimental type.

"Why is this happening? Alice is so pitiful. Is it true that good people can only turn into bubbles in the end?"

"No, although Alice's body was destroyed, her soul became immortal. In a sense, although it took a long and detour, Alice finally realized her dream."

Iin sighed softly, "Herara, I think you and Alice have a lot in common. If you have to face the same choice in the future, I hope you will remember tonight."

"I will."

Herara nodded with tears in her eyes. "This is truly the best fairy tale I have ever heard."

After Herara finished speaking, Iin softly hummed for her the war song he had sung during the school festival at the Four Gods Base.

Sing! This is the legend of heroes!

The torrent of history has returned to the Ryukyu Continent after a century of reincarnation.

When the blue full moon hangs in the sky,

The story of the other side of the sky has just begun——

.

Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!

Hero, please fly over the deep darkness,

Across the whistling lightning,

Through the thundering corridors,

Breaking the boundaries between life and death,

Open this door of destiny,

Set foot on the dreamy blue flying island - "The City of Eternal Sky"!

.

Those who pursue freedom and happiness!

Beautiful paradise, it is about to disappear,

From now on, there is no place to return,

There is no place to return from now on.

Sing! For the people in Paradise, please sing the last guard song with courage and justice!

As long as kindness exists, the City of Eternal Sky will never be destroyed!

"It looks like our new guy has finished his mission."

Huang Quan happily ended his vacation life, and at this time Isabella also returned from the Dragon Palace.

"Of course, the situation is not bad."

Isabella shrugged, "At least no one died this time."

"But you used the precious pages of Her Majesty's book."

An old man who looked very elegant and irritable said with a curse, "Do you know what this page means to Her Majesty the Queen?"

"That's enough, Albert. There's no need to be overly harsh on the newcomer."

Bruno patted Albert's shoulder gently. "By the way, did Her Majesty say that it's your turn to go on a mission next time? We've already done it once."

The man called Albert was not sure what he was thinking, but he said confidently, "After all these years, you guys haven't made any progress. Well, I'll just go meet them sometime."

Isabella looked at the three colleagues who were fighting with each other, sighed coldly and walked away.

A gust of wind blew past, lifting the silver bangs that covered the corners of her eyes. Inside, there was only a deep eye socket...

And one of her eyeballs was held in her hand.

"So, what's the price..."

The girl's subtle sadness eventually turned into bursts of ephemeral snow, and in the blink of an eye it dissipated in the snake's laughter, disappearing without a trace.
