What did you do with the dice?

Rusalka couldn't just agree to this out of comfort. "There are complicated reasons behind this. You just need to know that she's alive and well. And Yuyu, you're being a little sweet. Remember, you can talk to me about these things about Mom, but you must never tell Phoenix, okay?"

Sanitieta felt that as a mage, he might not need just magic potions when traveling. He was desperately short on insulin. The records in the private chat channel were so sugary that he didn't dare read them a second time after reading them once: (Brother, if you can't chat, you could learn from Phoenix.)

Rusalka: (Maomao is so boring. She never talks to me. She can’t even say a hundred words a day. Even when she argues with me, her sentences don’t exceed ten words. I’ve endured so much for this family.)

Sanita: (Yes, you don’t have to talk about it.)

As the saying goes, when the fish is out in the open, the brothers may not obey their orders. Could it be possible that Sanita would come here to cast a silence spell on him? He only needed to monitor the overall situation and make plans on the guided bomb. He had too many things to consider during his eight-hour long rest to relieve his boredom.

I have done my best to guide the detonator, and I still want my good brothers to obey orders. Why do all the good things happen to my brothers?

Just ask.

"Then let's talk about what kind of god Leviathan is. Have you ever seen Leviathan?"

Sanitita: (No, brother, you're asking what kind of god Liviasan is in the main temple of the God of Lihai. What's your purpose in saying this? What's your real intention? Are you really thinking that the eight-hour break is too comfortable and you want to do something active?)

Rusalka turned over and pretended not to hear.

Weishas thought for a moment, then stretched out her hand and formed a large circle in the air. "I heard this from my mother, too. She said Liviasan is a very, very great god. He's gentle and full of wisdom. He loves nothing more than intelligent creatures. He created the ocean and everyone who lives in it, and uses his power to protect us from war and enemies."

Judging from Vishas's description and the introductions to the statues they saw along the way, the sea people's imagination of the sea god seems to be closer to the embodiment of "majesty and power", which is far from "gentleness" and "wisdom".

Sanita: (It's over. It seems the Sea God is destined not to like you.)

Rusalka: (I don't believe giant creatures can be full of wisdom. They're already so big, why would they need wisdom if they have enough strength?)

Sanitita: (I think you should believe it. At least there are real examples in reality that prove that small creatures can also be without intelligence.)

Rusalka: (What do you know? Just because fish are intelligent doesn’t mean they are truly intelligent. I don’t believe the wisdom of these fish can surpass that of a modern human like me on Earth.)

However, after listening to Basu's vague explanation of the victory conditions, Sanitieta actually had a guess about the God of the Sea. If the goal of the End is to achieve 100% destruction of the world, and the victory goal of the Twelve Gods is to prevent him from achieving his goal, and then look at the power contribution, then the God of the Sea may not only be playing a development game and not wanting to participate in the fight for victory, but is planning to find another way, using the sea as a natural invincible home court, forcing the End to fail to achieve its goal even if it destroys the continent.

Maybe the end of the world is also time-limited, or the demons are not endless. After all, no one knows what the ecological system of the demon species is. Who can say for sure?

Regarding Sanitta's preconceived idea that the God of the Sea was also a bad guy, Rusalka's mind flashed with the image of Amelie. Although he had never seen her alive, judging from her 30% reputation, 60% appearance, and 100% that her daughter Vishas looked exactly like the Narcissus mermaid, he felt that the God of the Sea should be a good god.

The Sunny Tower is gone. According to you, brother, is the Shadow Lady, who has only one believer left, Phoenix, a definite great benevolent god?

Rusalka was stunned: (Wait, don't be impatient, let me sort it out first, cats are good, gods are bad!)

What a hammer! Those two strikes almost killed the weak Phoenix. Rusalka is like this. The fire burned him out, but he still had his mouth open and then said, "I don't think it's hot enough."

I still remember that the dragon before Estren wrote a letter to Rusalka and entrusted Sanshui Xinyu to bring it to him. Later, Sanitieta took a look at it. The letter mainly talked about the deal that the Dragon Mother had reached in private with the pro-war faction headed by King "Nohat" of the Kingdom of Elegy. It deliberately weakened the suppression of Garces' dragon disease by Dragon Island, and then instigated him to riot in the Kingdom of Elegy. As a deal, Nohat gave the Dragon Mother something.

The value of this thing is unknown, but it must be very valuable. It can actually make the Mother of Dragons give up a real dragon. After all, according to the original plan, Queen Amelie of the Kingdom of Elegy holds the power of the sea god, and is fighting on her home turf, the sea. With the cooperation of some elite troops and the whole country's strength, they should be able to fight against a Garces. It should be impossible for it to return.

However, Amelie chose to use the artifact "Azure Dream" to hide the Kingdom of Elegy to prevent Garces from causing further damage to the country and its people. In addition, because of the backstabbing of Nohat and others, the entrance to the dream was closed in advance. As a result, she fought with Garces with great loss of strength and both sides suffered losses. Although she finally repelled Garces, the balance of the immortal body was completely broken, and she could no longer maintain the violent power of the sea god.

In her last moments, she entrusted her power to Vishas and preserved her body.

It is no wonder that Sanitieta feels that the sea god is not a good god. The power given to believers by any good god will destroy the believers' bodies at all times. Only by blessing the mermaid's immortal body after strengthening its power can it rely on stronger regenerative power to offset this damage.

And once you accept this power, your vitality is bound to it, and you will die if you lose the power. This sounds even more weird than the "demonic corrupted shadow power". At least that demonic shadow power allows you to absorb others to strengthen yourself, and only if you don't absorb will your blood be deducted. This thing will start to lose blood no matter what you do.

Rusalka: "Then let's talk about your uncle."

Unexpectedly, the version of Nohat heard by Vishas was completely different from the version heard by Rusalka. Rusalka always believed that Nohat was a villain who usurped the throne, exiled Yuyu, and sent the assassin Esterlun to get rid of the dictatorial tyrant. But Vishas said that her uncle Nohat was a good man. He made the Kingdom of Elegy more beautiful and made everyone happier than before.

Considering that Vishas thinks everyone is a good person, Rusalka is more willing to believe that Nohat is a bad guy. However, she doesn't know how Nohat can make everyone unaware of his conspiracy.

Anyway, according to Vishas, ​​he even held a state funeral for Amelie, erected a monument to eternal life, and made Vishas, ​​whose body was forced to sleep under the monument to maintain balance due to the power she received, the next heir. He was only "suffering in times of crisis" to govern the country.

But even so, he still took special effort, using some unknown means to separate her current spiritual body, borrowed the power of the sea god, and brought her "back to life" through the carrier of the water element, and erased many of the voices questioning the usurpation of the throne.

Although Amelie is remembered and respected by all the people of the Kingdom of Elegy, the living Nohat is obviously more sophisticated. Not only does he do a very good job of disguising himself on the surface, he also has the inner workings of governing the country. As a radical, his approach is more effective than that of the previous king and Amelie, who adopted the method of ruling by doing nothing.

In just a hundred years, he maximized the functions of the Nine Departments, which were almost becoming idle positions, and then carried out large-scale construction and transformation of the Kingdom of Elegy. He sent out tours to recapture and unify external settlements, greatly increasing the degree of centralization. Relying on the reputation of Vishas and Amelie, he quickly gathered talents and eliminated some of the "racial and class prejudices."

The most representative example is Weil, a Naga wizard who followed Nohat in the early days and was promoted by him after he took over. She was also the first "non-merman" to be granted permanent residency in the imperial city by him against all odds. This method directly attracted other talented people of various races who were wandering around to the Kingdom of Elegy to try their luck.

Although he did not launch an open war, he allowed these alien races to secretly carry out shady things such as assassinations to eliminate dissidents and intimidate other countries, making the Kingdom of Elegy the true overlord of the sea.

It can be said that he is indeed a more "capable" monarch than Amelie. According to what Vishas heard from others, although Nohat is the most unique and "violent" monarch in the history of the Kingdom of Elegy, he may also be the only monarch who has the hope of leading the Kingdom of Elegy out of this sea that is both a protection and a cage.

"But your uncle only wants to use your power to start a war. He's secretly colluding with the dragon clan and the Esterlund councilors to eliminate you. I even think that the mage Weier you mentioned, who grew up with you, only wants your power."

Weishas thought about it and shook her head. Unlike Rusalka, she really didn't want to think the worst of the people she spent time with. "If they agree to what Mom said, then it's okay for me to give them my power."

Rusalka was a little surprised. It wasn't that she thought she was selfless, but rather that she didn't realize what the power of the sea god was. "If you don't have the power of the sea god, won't you die? You can't give this thing to others."

But Weishas, ​​like the elves, didn't seem to be afraid of death. Instead, she acted as if it was a matter of course. "Then I've completed what Mom asked me to do, and now I can go to the Kingdom of God to see Mom. Anyway, my uncle said he would make the kingdom a better place. I don't think I can do as well as he did. I'd rather stay with Mom. She'll be very lonely in the Kingdom of God alone."

Fish, please stop raising flags. You're not a narcissus mermaid, and your mother isn't an earthly angel. How can the two of you be together in this forbidden card table? I, Rusalka, won't allow it.

Rusalka felt uncomfortable listening to this, but she couldn't tell her the truth at this moment. Perhaps there was no Kingdom of God in the world, so she decided to change the subject to something happier. "This topic is too depressing, Yuyu, it's getting late, so let's talk about some late-night topics that all human men love to hear."

Weishas was very interested in this unknown field: "Okay, okay~"

Sanita: (I’m awesome, don’t…)

Chapter 404: Three Questions about the Prophecy

Rusalka has said so much, the atmosphere has been set, and Vishas has agreed. How can she just listen to her good brother and stop?

"Suppose you could travel back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty with items worth a total of 1 yuan. What would you choose to bring to help the Prime Minister restore the Han Dynasty?"

Weishas:?

Sanitita: (You are talking to her about the hammer, can she understand?)

Rusalka: (Just asking if this is a topic men like to talk about, but I always think Longjiang pork trotter rice is a bit too expensive.)

At this moment, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and a huge beam of light rose from the bottom of the sea and rushed into the air.

Rusalka heard no thunder and saw no beam of light, but his thoughts were interrupted by his good brother's words.

Sani Iron Tower: (Stop bragging. Hey, Brother Xiao, it seems like there's a mage performing a large-scale ritual on the seabed over there. The effect isn't clear, but the concentration of water elements is very high. So far, I can only tell it's a water-based ritual spell.)

Rusalka: (Should I end my long rest and go check it out? My short rest is already complete anyway.)

Sani Tieta: (Not really. This ritual will take at least half a day to a day to set up. I'll wait and see. But let me give you a heads up. I just used a fourth-level [Divination] to ask the gods what will happen next, and the response I got was "regret and regret for breaking my oath.")

Rusalka was speechless after hearing this: "Brother, I thought that ever since you used this thing to get the clue about a "round-penetrated hammer" back in Test Town, you'd already figured out the nature of this BYD god's answers and stopped wasting time playing riddles. So, how come you've gotten addicted to prophecy again?"

I still remember that before we went to the Twin Towers, Sunny Tower also predicted that some unexpected situation would occur in this operation, and the god’s reply was “Nine stars in a row”.

This prophecy sounds so scary. After all, for the Earth, when nine planets align, there will be a great disaster!

This made Sanita very uneasy. He acted like an astronomer for several days and read many books about "astrology" and "magic". In the end, he admitted that he really could not understand the wisdom of God and could only take one step at a time.

Until that day, when Rusalka strung the nine spaceships together, Sanitieta suddenly remembered and realized that the "nine stars in a row" in the prophecy meant that after Rusalka's amazing wisdom strung the nine planes together, he suddenly felt powerless and wanted to laugh.

He later told this as a joke while having dinner. Rusalka also thought that the prophecy was indeed a joke. Perhaps the mages of DND felt that long-term magic research was too boring, so they came up with this job. Every time you take a long break, let the gods tell you a joke, and when you find out "Oh shit, so that's how it is", you will feel funny.

After this incident, Sanita basically gave up the idea of ​​relying on predictions to win.

However, Rusalka felt that this answer was a little more anthropomorphic than "The Round-Headed Hammer" and "Nine Stars in a Row". He could probably guess that this might mean that Nohat might be different from what everyone thought. Although he had done bad things, he still felt regret in his heart, so he wanted to make amends, such as "letting the Kingdom of Elegy rule the entire world, and then giving the world to Amelie's daughter, Vishas."

The performance effect at that time can be like this: "One day my rule will come to an end, and you will be crowned king."

Isn’t this what every son wants to hear in his dreams?

Rusalka put herself in Vishas's shoes and thought about it. If she were in this situation, would she forgive Nohat or not? It would be a difficult decision.

Sani Tieta: My good brother, your mind was full of that red stuff before, and you were practicing swordsmanship and setting up sword formations all day long. Now you are dreaming about it and saying that you still like to listen to this. The fight between the left brain and the right brain is really against the will of heaven.

And if it were him, he would definitely inherit first, and then secretly find a reason to kill the opponent to get revenge. These are not mutually exclusive things. He was on the first day back then, so why can't I be on the fifteenth now?

After thinking about it, I decided not to complain about these insignificant dreams yet, and get back to the point: (No, you have to understand that this thing's predictions are absolute. Even if you almost never realize what it's answering you until after the fact, absolute is absolute, meaning the answer can be analyzed and tended towards. So I used the fifth ring of [Divine Communication] to ask three questions again.)

Look, the riddle that was exchanged for a fourth ring resulted in increased sunk cost investment, and another fifth ring was lost.

Rusalka; (Feizi, listen to my advice. The magic of this school of prophecy is too complex for you to grasp. Can you figure out this riddle?)

Sanita ignored his nonsense and said: (The first question is, will you be involved in the war? The answer is yes.)

Rusalka: (Is that even a question? If I wasn’t fighting, why would I come down here? For tourism?)

After hearing this, Sanitieta suddenly felt that prophecy was not unacceptable. It was much more human than his good brother's speech. At least it was just a pile of Chinese characters. Just listen to what Rusalka said, is it still human language?

Sanita: (The second question is, can you easily suppress this battle? The answer is no.)

Rusalka: (Is that even a question? If it were possible, would it even be called a battle? I'm just worried it's not strong enough so I can just gather experience!)

Sanitta: (Third question, is the person referred to in the prophecy as "regret and regret" the King of the Kingdom of Lament, Nohat? The answer is no.)

Rusalka was silent for a moment, then said stubbornly, "Why are you asking it? I had a pretty good idea, but now you've added a new problem to my mind. What if it takes up my memory and affects my combat intelligence?"

Sanitta: (It doesn't matter if you don't understand the prophecy. Anyway, I want you to be careful with Vishas. If she dies, you will have broken your promise to protect her. Perhaps the regret and remorse are directed at you. I don't mean any other things, just to give you a heads-up.)

If he was just curious and confused about the prophecy and regarded it as a riddle just now, then his good brother's heavy analysis of the prophecy, coupled with his previous words that "God's prophecy is absolute", almost made him breathless.

Just thinking about Vishas dying here, Rusalka felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life for deceiving her into coming back with her just to get the faith of the sea god.

Rusalka: (I can't take it anymore, the pressure is too great, brother. It's okay if I die, but Weishas must not be in any harm. Just say "Pah, pah, pah, children speak without restraint." I can't even think about it now. Ahhh, brother, how could you be so mean! Your crow's mouth makes me feel worse than if you stole my good meal. I, Xiao Liu, beg you to stop talking. Just thinking about it, I think it's too cruel...)

Sanitta: (That's not what I meant. I just wanted to draw your attention. While prophecies are absolute, their targets are fluid before they happen. Changes in your actions might also cause the prophetic target to shift.)

Rusalka: (You're right, but the katana is the most powerful weapon in the Monster Hunter world. Here, you can use it to cut down dragons. With just a flash of the sword, you can become an idol in the hearts of thousands of girls. As long as you play the katana well, countless girls will rush to play with you online and beg you to teach them how to use the katana. Therefore, a successful katana player can easily reach the pinnacle of life. As the saying goes, if you don't play the katana, you will live a relatively unsuccessful life.)

Sanitta felt that the prophecy might be about to take effect, because he was now extremely regretful and annoyed. He wanted to immediately betray his oath to bring Rusalka back and drive the guided bomb directly back to Sinidi and bury him on the seabed. Even the ocean, an ecosystem with super self-purification ability, would not be able to purify Rusalka, this pile of harmful substances, for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

As time passed quietly, under the influence of the beam of light, water elements gradually condensed in the sky. The originally clear and sunny sea became covered with dark clouds in just a few hours.

Sanita frowned. He glanced at the time on his pocket watch in the main control room and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Even though it lives on the seabed and has recently issued a blockade order not to contact humans on the outside world, it does not mean that it is completely unaware of what is happening in the outside world. Since Estron's imaginary enemy is the dragon clan, the air surveillance of the coastal defense line must be specialized. If there are spies cooperating with the sea clan and passing on information, then the movement of the guided bomb may be exposed to the royal family of Elegy in about half a day.

Faced with the invisibility that prevents naked-eye detection and the engravings that prevent magic detection, even if one cooperates with the dragon race, a race that can freely explore the sky, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to accurately find the location of the guided bomb, which is almost completely invisible when stationary.

But as long as it is still within the scope of the concept of magic game, there is definitely no absoluteness. If the Sani Tower is on the opposite side, if the information that the guided bomb is above the territory of his own country and is unlikely to move is certain, then he will certainly have his own means to find himself.

As the first raindrop fell from the sky, it was followed by a fine drizzle.

The raindrops hit the invisible guided bomber, splashing a small splash of water.

He looked at the raindrops that were gradually becoming denser and immediately ordered, "Open the wide-area magic sensing array and check for special magic points nearby."

This magic perception array will conflict with the invisibility array, causing the Guided Explosion to change from a fully invisible refraction to a semi-invisible hazy state. Fortunately, his reputation value has been raised to the highest level. Now, he does not need to explain the reasons for the orders he issues. Even mages with many ideas and opinions will execute them without hesitation.

Three circular ripples spread out from the monitoring screen of the Guided Explosion Number, with itself as the center. The huge dark blue color displayed where the ripples swept represented the magic of the ritual light column, and the entire hazy light blue on the screen represented that the concentration of water elements in this area was too high.

These were all normal phenomena, but soon, six small dots of other colors suddenly flashed in the distance, and with each ripple, the position of the dots shifted a little. Although it was not obvious on the display, if it was converted to a real map for estimation, the speed of the fastest cyan dot was already equivalent to about 200 yards.

"Reporting to Master Sanita, we seem to have sensed several unusual magical fluctuations of other attributes in the distance, which are moving in a straight line at high speed in the air."

"About an hour before contact."

Although these six small points are scattered, they are almost the same distance from the straight line position due north of the guided bomb number, and the forward speed and search are actually in a straight line. This directly allows Sani Tower to estimate the other party's expected arrival time, which is an unexpected gain.

Sanita scoffed. "It's clearly a covert search mission. It's just raining, but they still don't want to get wet, so they use magic shields to protect themselves. These dragons are so arrogant! If I were the sea mage who arranged the ceremony, I'd probably be furious at their blatant search methods."

"Then Master, what should we do next?"

"Turn on the anti-detection magic rune, turn off the visual invisibility effect, connect the magic circuit to the weapon charging module, and then prepare to move."

"Wouldn't it be possible for the other party to see us at a glance?"

Sani Tower knocked on the screen, switched to its own observation perspective, and then pulled it to a long-distance perspective. It saw that in the heavy rain, there was a "square rain-free area" under the invisible detonator. The raindrops hit its head, directly exposing the outline of the entire detonator, which looked very obvious.

"understood?"

"Master, I have an idea. Why don't we take advantage of their strategy and simply hide in the sea to avoid their search?"

In response to this question from a mage who had a good idea but clearly lacked knowledge of dragons, Sanitta replied, "The Guided Explosion is not sealed. If we want to submerge it in the sea, we'll need to open the water barrier. But in that case, to the dragons, who are particularly sensitive to magical fluctuations, the magical barrier we emit will be as obvious as a lighthouse in the dark. Believe it or not, even if we just activated a detection signal, the dragons would have sensed the detection fluctuation. It's just that they're too far away to determine the source of the fluctuation."

Those mages who had the same idea and didn't want to fight the dragon in the air also silently accepted Sanita's statement.

It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable, directed at them.

I always feel that every time I go out with the Lord of Pearl Tears, there will be a fierce battle. Is it an illusion?

Chapter 405: Fighting on Two Fronts

Dragons were once the undisputed kings of the sky. Even Estelon's airship, which was said to be designed specifically with dragons as imaginary enemies, still needed to carry a large number of anti-dragon mages on board, and this only met the standard of "being able to fight against" them.

In addition to being nervous and anxious, everyone also felt a little excited.

Now that the Sunny Tower has opened its weapon module and is actively moving forward to fight, its confident look makes everyone expect a miracle to happen: Does this mean that the turning point when the title of overlord of the sky will be taken over by humans may be today?

If I could stand in the competition seat here under the leadership of the "legendary" great wizard Sanita, witness history with my own eyes, participate in history, and become history, then it would be worth the price of admission even if I died!

If Sunny Tower knew what they were thinking, he would probably laugh at them again: This ship is a magic weapon made by the Time Master next door. So what if it can win the battle? It has nothing to do with human history.
