The situation here was slightly strange. Originally, they wanted to talk to the NPC that greeted them. However, as soon as they walked closer, the NPC turned around and started running.
"What's going on?" Millennium Unchanged asked. "Should we catch up to him first?"
"No, look, he stopped again," the Jade Emperor said. The Summoning Jade Emperor said. Yes, the NPC in front of them took two steps, then turned around and waved at them. It seemed like he was asking them to follow him.
"What should we do? Should we follow him?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"Follow him. Are we afraid that they will ambush us?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
Therefore, the five of them immediately followed the NPC in front of them. Of course, the NPC in front of them seemed to be intentionally letting them follow. Every time they turned a corner, he would stop and wait for them. Anyway, it was just enough for them to follow.
"What's going on with this city?" While running, the Jade Emperor Summoner was still thinking about this matter. After running for so long, they still hadn't seen a single person, except for the NPC in front of them. What was even more ridiculous was that they hadn't heard a single sound at all. It was so quiet around them that they could die.
"Who knows? Maybe it's a monster invasion," Li Huailin said casually.
"A monster invasion?" Everyone was stunned, but they immediately began to think about whether it was believable. Of course, this was a game, and it was not impossible for a monster to invade. Moreover, they had just heard that there was a monster in the nearby Lake Reyral. Connecting the dots, it seemed like it was really possible.
"Hey, hey, I'm just spouting nonsense," Li Huailin immediately said when he saw that everyone really believed him.
"No, no, what if the monster in Lake Reyral came to the shore?" The Jade Emperor said immediately. "Of course, the people in this city immediately fled. That explains why there is no one here, and why the teleportation circle cannot be used. It is because the staff at the teleportation point has fled."
"That can't be. This is the capital of a country. Even if it's a small country, there should be ordinary soldiers. If they can't even defeat a monster, are the guards monkeys?" Li Huailin said.
"Maybe the monster is super strong," the Jade Emperor said. "Ah, the person in front has stopped."
"Hmm?" Everyone looked ahead. Sure enough, the NPC in front of them had stopped running. It was as if the NPC was waiting for them. In reality, they had unknowingly arrived at a relatively secluded corner. This was basically the deepest part of the alleyway. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was still no sound.
At this time, they finally saw the situation of the NPCs in front of them. This NPC looked to be in his early twenties, and he was a human male. His appearance was sloppy, as if he hadn't bathed in a long time. His black robes were dirty and covered in dust. However, judging by his face, he looked quite handsome. If he were to put on some make-up, he would become a handsome man. He looked at the other party's name and saw that it was Martino Saargran.
"Um …" Just as Li Huailin was about to say something, Martino suddenly made a shushing gesture and signaled for everyone to hide. Although they didn't know what was going on, they still cooperated and leaned against the wall.
Martino cautiously poked his head out to look at the surroundings before pulling his head back and asking, "Who are you? What are you doing here? "
"We are adventurers from the Nasser Empire," the Jade Summoner answered in a very familiar manner. "We are here to do a quest."
A glimmer of hope appeared in Martino's eyes as he immediately asked, "Someone sent you here to save our kingdom?"
"Actually, no." The Jade Summoner shook his head. "It's another quest."
"What …" The hope in Martino's eyes immediately disappeared, and he immediately sank into despair.
"From what you're saying, your kingdom is facing a disaster?" Li Huailin asked.
"You'll know when you see it," Martino said. "Pailfort City used to be one of the most prosperous cities in the western part of the continent. Look at the situation now, do you think it's fine?"
"What's going on? Maybe we can help," the Jade Summoner asked.
"This … it's a long story." Martino suddenly sighed. "Anyway, our city has been occupied by a group of monsters …"
"It's really a monster?" Everyone looked at him. The Jade Summoner said, "Tell us in detail. Maybe we are here to look for this monster."
"You are here to look for this monster?" Martino was slightly taken aback.
"Do you know about the monster attack on the ship on Lake Reyral next to us about a month ago?" the Jade Summoner asked.
"Actually, I do." Martino nodded. "Is it about the attack on the ship of the rich merchant named Lohan?"
"Yes, we should be here to look for the monster that attacked the ship," the Jade Summoner said. "Did it come ashore and attack your city?"
"Unfortunately, it's not this monster that attacked our city," Martino said.
"Looks like it's another quest." Li Huailin said, "Forget it then. We don't have time here. Say, do you know where we can capsize the ship? Or where your king is? I'll ask him for it. "
"I'm the king here," Martino suddenly said, startling everyone.
"You are the king?" Everyone said in surprise.
"No, in fact, I haven't officially ascended the throne yet. I'm still the First Prince. After I officially ascend the throne, I will be the king," Martino said. Martino said, "My father passed away three weeks ago, so you can basically treat me as a king."
"That's simple. Where can we get a ship?" Li Huailin asked immediately.
"No, listen to me first. We have the same goal now," Martino said.
"Same goal?" Li Huailin asked. "Didn't you say that the monster that attacked your city is not the one we are looking for?"
"Yes, I know what you are looking for. Listen to me," Martino said. "You are from the Nasser Empire. You should know the legend of Lake Reyral."
Everyone shook their heads. Martino said, "It's okay. Do you know why no one lives near Lake Reyral?"
"Because of the monster?" The Jade Summoner Emperor said, "Because the monster attacks humans, so no one dares to live there?"
"The monster is not the main reason. The main reason is that there are mermaids in Lake Reyral. That is the territory of the mermaids," Martino said seriously.
"Uh … mermaids? Okay, are you sure they are mermaids and not murlocs? "Li Huailin said." The kind that has the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a fish's tail? "
"Yes." Martino nodded.
"YES!" Millennium Immutable suddenly waved his fist, "I knew it."
"What are you so happy about?" The Jade Summoner Emperor glanced at him.
"Hey, mermaids, mermaids, this …"
"Okay, okay, listen to the mission first." Before Millennium Unchanged could finish, he was interrupted by the Jade Summoner Emperor.
"According to the legend, mermaids live in Lake Reyral. They hate people disturbing them, so our ancestors did not dare to go near Lake Reyral. It is said that if the mermaids are angered, they will summon huge monsters to attack humans. That rich businessman Luo Han was probably attacked by the monsters summoned by the mermaids," Martino said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. "That means the monsters listen to the mermaids. What we are looking for is not monsters but mermaids."
"Yes." Martino nodded.
"But isn't the process the same?" Millennium Unchanged said, "Look for a ship. If we anger the mermaids, they will summon monsters to attack us. We still have to find a ship."
"No need." Martino said, "In fact, they are on the shore. To be precise, they are in this city."
"Huh? The mermaids that attacked your city? "Li Huailin asked," Are there many of them? "
"There's only one," Martino said.
"That's a bit powerful," the Jade Summoner Emperor said, "It looks like a powerful boss."
"No, let me finish," Martino said. "Three weeks ago, my father, the thirteenth king of Sebenela, passed away. He died of illness. Of course, I was the one to succeed the throne. However, there was one more step before I succeeded the throne, and that was to choose a queen. At this time, a woman appeared. She had a perfect face and a seductive body. Although she was mute, I was instantly attracted to her. "
"Uh … let me guess, this woman is a mermaid?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Martino nodded. "I was bewitched by him, and I quickly decided to make him my empress. However, before the coronation ceremony, something happened here. I discovered that she wasn't a human. We had only been together for three days, but she was already pregnant. In just a week, she had already started giving birth."
"…" Everyone was speechless.
"And she gave birth to a monster," Martino said in a deep voice. "A monster that is half-human and half-fish."
"Alright, alright, I get it. After all this time, it's just that an idiotic prince like you has been fooled, right?" Li Huailin held his forehead. "The other party came ashore to find a breeding partner, and then you happened to be shot …"
"Yes, it's all my fault." Martino lowered his head. "However, what happened next was even more terrifying. Because the half-human and half-fish monster that she gave birth to actually started attacking humans. No, to be precise, they feed on humans …"
"Huh? And this mermaid is a piranha? "Everyone said.
