What angered Her Majesty? " Liszt leaped onto the deck and saw the dazzling, seductive, and extremely dangerous girl from afar.
Strangely enough, Liszt did not have any reaction to Higan before this. He did not hate her or admire her, but when he firmly believed that Higan would be the girl who would accompany him, the future king, and she might even become his wife, his heart skipped a beat.
Liszt's attitude towards Higan changed.
The change was not exactly the kind of love between a man and a woman, but he started to admire her. He admired the lazy and girlish attitude of the queen. He admired the queen's mysteriousness and her strength. He even admired the unfathomable evilness with a dark aura.
Hmm, it felt like he was admiring something that belonged to him and was his beloved.
So from a distance, Liszt smiled naturally. He was originally very handsome, and he had a temperament that made people inevitably feel close to him.
Even though what he said sounded a little fawning and frivolous, no one thought anything was wrong with it.
The girls on the deck obviously felt that Liszt was genuinely concerned about the queen and did not want anyone to anger her.
Although the sudden change in attitude was baffling, Higan did not care about Liszt.
However, Higan did not care about Liszt. Her eyes were still on the captains who were pretending to be sick.
She really did not care about killing one or two of them.
As long as she could calm these people down and not cause any trouble before Tang Ling returned, she seemed to have forgotten her promise to not use her powers.
It was obvious that only Tang Ling could make her forget about it. Anyway, why couldn't she do anything for Tang Ling?
Higan's coldness did not scare Liszt away. Instead, his gaze became gentler and his smile warmer. Even though the Death Mist Zone had formed and the sky was foggy, blocking out the sunlight, he still felt like he was walking under the sun.
That kind of aura that gave people a good impression became even stronger, and everyone started to feel inexplicably at ease.
Liszt, on the other hand, kept his eyes on Higan until he reached where she was sitting.
"Can you let this captain go? My Majesty? " Liszt bowed to the queen with a standard noble's bow. It was the etiquette for a man to greet a woman.
Higan's eyes finally landed on Liszt. "What does this have to do with you? Go away. "
Higan was obviously impatient.
But Liszt didn't seem to be affected at all. He shook his head and said sincerely, "I can't leave, because I'm here to support you."
Higan was amused, so she chuckled at Liszt.
However, Liszt seemed to be immune to Higan's coldness and mockery. He turned around to the crowd and said word by word, "Since all the captains can see it, I'll make a solemn declaration here."
"I'll support whatever Higan decides to do. I don't care what you guys think. Liszt turned around and looked at Higan.
"I don't care what you think, Your Majesty."
Higan was still holding her chin with one hand, expressionless as if she had no idea what Liszt was talking about.
However, if any of you go against Higan's decision, I don't mind taking action. "
"Her decision is my decision."
As he spoke, a domineering aura exploded from Liszt's body again. He felt like he was standing at the edge of a cliff, a lonely but superior king.
Liszt suddenly pulled out his sword and walked step by step towards the captain who was still vomiting blood.
The captain was in a terrible condition. The blood he spat out was filled with unknown blood clots, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Liszt's sword was pressed against the captain's neck. For some reason, the aura around him felt like a real pressure, suppressing everyone on the ship to the point that they couldn't move. It wasn't that their bodies couldn't move, it was that they dared not cross the line mentally.
"I've begged Higan for you, but she didn't seem to agree." Liszt's face was filled with pity, and the pity was sincere. No one would think that Liszt didn't sympathize with the captain.
But what was he going to do?
"Higan's wish is for you to die. If that's the case, my sword will faithfully help her fulfill her wish. " As he spoke, everyone saw a flash of white light. When they could see it clearly again, the captain was already lying on the ground.
Liszt did not decapitate him. His sword only cut his main artery and throat.
A huge amount of blood gushed out and clogged his throat, causing blood to splatter around the captain.
If the captain couldn't be saved in the right way and with the best resources in a few seconds, the captain would not be able to come back to life.
However, no one dared to save him. The pressure that Liszt emitted was like a huge mountain.
"Higan, my sword will point in the direction that you want it to go. If you say the word, I can kill everyone on this ship. "
Liszt's aura exploded to the limit as he emphasized each and every word, "Because you will realize that what Higan is doing is right."
The words that he uttered seemed to have an unusual bewitching power, causing most of the people's hearts to waver at that moment.
Hmm, the queen should be right. Even though everyone had no idea why Higan would do such a thing?!
"In my heart, I also sincerely believe that leaving the mist is the right decision." Liszt turned around and looked at Higan again.
"Is that so?" Higan gazed into the distance, his deep black eyes still devoid of any emotion.
"Are any of you sick?" She replied with a "Is that so" as a way to deal with Liszt. She then looked at the captains again.
"They are not sick! If they get sick again and delay the journey, I'm willing to commit suicide as an apology. " The Swift Dragon captain finally mustered his courage. Maybe Liszt's participation increased the pressure on him, or maybe the captain's death triggered him.
In short, he dared not stay silent anymore.
Right after his words subsided, the captains knelt before Liszt and the queen. "Even if I'm sick, I won't delay the journey."
"I'll grit my teeth and never fall behind."
"I …"
No matter how stupid the captains were, they knew what was going on. They fought to be the first to express their stance.
"There won't be any more problems, will there?" Higan was looking at the surveillance camera that was recording everything. She was not asking the captains but everyone in the room.
At this moment, a quick-witted captain replied through the loudspeaker, "No."
Then, more and more voices followed, indicating that there wouldn't be any problems.
Higan listened lazily. When the voices finally quieted down, she jumped down from her seat and said softly, "Then let's depart right away. The mist is gathering further away. "
Liszt looked at Higan and suddenly said, "Higan, can you come to my ship? My ship is at the rear, so I can observe the mist from time to time. "
"No." Higan's voice was not loud. She walked towards her lifeboat as she spoke, but she suddenly stopped and turned around to Liszt.
Liszt was a little disappointed, but his heart was filled with a spirited fighting spirit.
Shouldn't the queen's woman be like this? Cold and distant. Although she would not show off her abilities all the time, she would be strong and courageous during crucial moments.
Most importantly, in the eyes of the crowd, she had to be high above and unapproachable.
Although he did not know why she treated Tang Ling this way, there must be a reason behind it. Otherwise, a girl like Higan would not care about anyone.
All he had to do was destroy the reason.
Liszt was a smart man. At least, he grasped the main point between Tang Ling and Higan.
Unfortunately, he could not destroy the reason.
Just as Liszt was pondering over all that, he saw Higan stop and look at him.
His slightly disappointed heart was instantly filled with hope.
Yes, what kind of girl could resist such a sincere expression of goodwill from him? At least she would be touched, wouldn't she?
"Don't call me Higan. I don't know you, and I don't like strangers calling my name. " Higan was not joking at all. Her emotionless eyes even showed an obvious sense of disgust.
She then turned around and continued her journey.
Liszt suddenly felt suffocated in his chest. He did not care about what Higan said. All he cared about was the disgust in her eyes.
Why?!
However, was she trying to make him back off just like that? No, this was a one-on-one game between him and Higan!
Looking at Higan's back, Liszt suddenly said in a clear voice, "Then, Queen, please remember that my name is Liszt."
The wind caressed Higan's black hair. Her face that was covered by her hair showed a mocking expression before she jumped onto the lifeboat.
It felt like a long time ago, but it felt like it was just yesterday. Tang Ling raised a piece of dirt in front of her and told her that it was a present.
Her heart was aching fiercely. She could still remember the pain of her nails piercing her palm, but all she could do was rub his shoulder.
She wanted to repay her debt to Tang Long so she could stand before him without any restraints.
However, if she could do it all over again, she would never have the courage to rub his shoulder again. Whenever she thought about him, she would feel ten times worse.
Therefore, no one could get close to her anymore.
She would only shine in front of Tang Ling.
**
At the edge of the Death Mist Zone.
A large number of ferocious beasts were roaming around, and there seemed to be some kind of indescribable substance in the Death Fog area. Upon closer inspection, these ferocious beasts all had crazed expressions, and some of them even had traces of red in their eyes.
Even so, the vicious beasts did not attack Dark Milky Pearl who was sitting on a rock. Even though they were in a frenzy, they were obviously restraining their impulses.
However, this was the case for the Dark Pearl. These ferocious beasts were not so friendly to Sma, who was hugging the Dark Pearl from behind. They roared at Sma and were even eager to attack her …
Whenever that happened, Dark Milky Pearl would blush and scold loudly in the mermaid language, "No!"
It was supposed to be a funny behavior, but it had a strange effect on the vicious beasts. They would really back off because of Dark Milky Pearl's scolding.
"Dark Milky Pearl, I'm scared. If I can't hug you like this, I won't even have the courage to stay here for a minute. " Sma whispered in Dark Milky Pearl's ear with a fearful expression. Maybe it was intentional, but her mouth was very close to Dark Milky Pearl's ear. Even the heat from her words could reach Dark Milky Pearl's ear.
As a matter of fact, there were only some Level 3 and Level 4 vicious beasts around. Sma had the strength of a Rank 5 Purple Moon Warrior, so even if she could not kill all the vicious beasts, she could still escape safely.
Dark Milky Pearl's face was flushed by Sma's hot breath. His body was stiff and he did not dare to move. He said nervously and shyly, "I-I can only control vicious beasts within Level 4. The other vicious beasts just … just won't attack me."
"I'm not that powerful. The elders in the center of the Death Mist Zone …" Dark Milky Pearl wanted to express that he did not dare to go to the center of the Death Mist Zone, where the elders had lured vicious beasts above Level 4 to cooperate with the Stardust Council's operation.
However, a trace of impatience flashed in Sma's eyes. She interrupted Dark Milky Pearl with a coquettish tone, "You're amazing. I can't control my heartbeat when I see you singing among the vicious beasts. I think it's the most unforgettable scene I've ever seen in my life.
I've already fallen for you at first sight. "
When Dark Milky Pearl heard the words of love, he could not help but hold Sma's hand. His face was filled with a shy but uncontrollable smile.
"I want to be with you so much, but there are many difficulties ahead of us. But there are many difficulties in front of us. Just like this mission, we can't fail. Otherwise, I'll never be able to leave the Stardust Council. If that happens, I won't be able to accept the mermaid's baptism as a free man and become your woman. "Sma's words were filled with sorrow and sadness.
"How could the mission fail?" Dark Milky Pearl was anxious.
Sma let go of Dark Milky Pearl's hand and took out a projector at the right time. She placed it in front of Dark Milky Pearl.
"Look, this is the latest news from the council."
The projector projected an image in the air. On the image was the teenagers' fleet.
It was a bird's eye view from the sky. It was obvious that the fleet was in the shape of a diamond and was sailing fast. The sailing route was obviously far away from the fog, let alone close to the Death Fog Zone.
"T-This is … They're escaping?" Dark Milky Pearl frowned, her eyes showing obvious disbelief. "There's no way they won't enter the Death Fog Zone unless they don't want the resources anymore."
"Who knows what happened?" Sma's tone was also filled with annoyance. "Now that they're escaping the Death Fog Zone, it's obvious that they're giving up on the resources. If after that, they'll … "
"I won't," Wu Xiazhu muttered.
"I'm too concerned about this mission. It's related to you and me. Dark Milky Pearl, we can't place our hopes on the enemy and expect them to do what they will and will do. We have to be moved and grasp everything before we can be at ease. "Sma said anxiously at this moment.
"Then what should we do?" Dark Milky Pearl was obviously affected by Sma and was anxious.
"Drive them into the Death Fog Zone! Make it so that they can't hide and can only enter the Death Fog Zone. "Sma said word by word.
"But how?"
"Them." Sma pointed at the group of vicious beasts swimming around them.
At this time, no matter how stupid Dark Milky Pearl was, he understood that Sma wanted him to use the Mermaid Race's ability to lead these vicious beasts to surround and intercept the youths' fleet until they were driven into the Death Fog Zone.
This was indeed a feasible method, but if they did so, the Mermaid Race would inevitably expose themselves in this situation. Moreover, they would violate the agreement they had signed with the absolute upper echelons of the human race, putting the Mermaid Race in danger.
Dark Milky Pearl hesitated. He didn't dare agree to Sma's request.
Seeing Dark Milky Pearl's hesitation, tears suddenly appeared in Sma's eyes. "I know, you're in a difficult situation. Then there's no need to do this. "
As he spoke, Sma hugged Dark Milky Pearl again and said softly, "I was too stupid to expect us to have eternity. But how could this eternal happiness belong to me so easily? "
"Hold me tight, Dark Milky Pearl. I feel that as long as we can still be together, that's fine. If you really have to marry Cai Dancing Pearl in the future, and I have to leave you. Please remember me, just remember me. "
Hearing Sma's sad words, heartache and anger filled Dark Milky Pearl's heart. He said impulsively, "No, I will never let you leave me. Then let's do this. "
"But, the Mermaid Race …" Sma lowered his head.
Dark Milky Pearl did not know what to say for a moment. He just clenched his fists. "I've decided."
At this moment, Sma suddenly raised his head. "No, for you. I will also plead with the council to give the Mermaid Race protection. This will make the Mermaid Race pay a price, and they may need to follow the Stardust Council as a subsidiary. But … at least the Mermaid Race will not suffer any casualties. I can't bear to see a single one of your clansmen hurt. "
As he spoke, Sma hugged Dark Milky Pearl tightly.
Dark Milky Pearl was also moved and hugged Sma tightly. "You've really done a lot for me. As long as my clansmen aren't hurt, what's the price? We, the Mermaid Race, only want some space to live. "
Sma stopped talking, but her face, which was buried in Dark Milky Pearl's arms, showed a hint of a smile.
