"Gulvig, I'll call you Gulvig." Liszt stuttered in the Language of the Moon. His proficiency in the Language of the Moon was terrible.
He could barely understand it, but he couldn't speak it fluently. After all, he didn't have many opportunities to speak the Language of the Moon.
He didn't expect the mermaids, a race left behind from ancient times, to speak the Language of the Moon. Of course, the mermaids' Language of the Moon sounded different from the Moon Killer's Language of the Moon. Even a genius like A Qi, who was proficient in all kinds of languages, had to guess when communicating with Gulvig.
"You can call me Gulvig, the king of humans." Gulvig's voice was hoarse. Because of his huge body, his voice was buzzing. "Thank you and Her Excellency A Qi for saving my life and freeing me from the evil curse. I didn't continue to be evil."
"Can you introduce yourself?"
"I'm a mermaid. Before I sealed myself, I was the king of the Fisherman's Sea. I ruled all the seawater and islands in the Fisherman's Sea, as well as all the fishes, prawns, and water birds."
"So you're a respected king. Can you tell me how you sealed yourself and the situation of the sea and land in the era you lived in?"
Faced with Liszt's question.
Gulvig pondered for a moment as if he was recalling the past. Then, he slowly replied, "The Fisherman's Sea, the Great Western Nation, the Saltwater Tribe, the Deep Water Realm, the Trench Tribe, the Fugitive Nation, and the Lost Sea. These were the last seven kingdoms of the mermaids. As we sealed ourselves, we were the last generation of mermaids …"
The mermaid Gulvig began to talk about the ancient past.
Since the era of the Moon Empire, the mermaids and mages controlled the sea and land respectively. The human mages built a unified empire on land, while the mermaids scattered many kingdoms in the sea.
"It's said that in ancient times, there were two great empires, the Moon Empire and the Sun Empire. They ruled the Legendary Continent and the Malfa Continent. However, when I was born, the mermaids were already shrouded in the shadow of a curse and lost contact with the outside world. My mother sank into exile not long after I was born, and I lost the ability to give birth to the next generation. "
The mermaids reproduced asexually. A mature mermaid would give birth to offspring when they were the most energetic.
Normally, mermaids would only have one descendant, so the kingdom would continue to be passed down. Occasionally, twins would be born, and at this time, the sea kingdom would split into two countries. Because mermaids also had the risk of dying prematurely, their numbers had always been low, and some kingdoms had even been destroyed.
They ruled the sea and had Naga, Clown Fish and other intelligent races under them.
However, when Gulvig was born, not only did her mother die early and did not teach her any knowledge, even the Fisherman Sea Kingdom fell into a state of extinction.
"We are shrouded by the power of the Cursed Dragon. The seven kingdoms have linked up and are trying to ask for help from the humans. But the continent is in ruins. There is no Moon Empire or Sun Empire. The Great Mages I heard about when I was a child have all disappeared. "
The continent was in ruins, the ocean was shrouded by the power of the cursed dragon, and the kingdom ruled by the mermaids was destroyed in despair.
The Naga Clan was the first to suffer.
"Although the Cursed Dragon is dead, its power is too great. It keeps seeping into the sea. The Naga tribe was the first to be polluted. They became the ghosts of the sea and lived in the deep waters in the east. Even we mermaids couldn't cross this dangerous sea, so we called the deep waters the Devil's Sea. "
So that was the origin of the Devil's Sea.
Liszt finally understood, but he had more doubts. "What kind of dragon is the Cursed Dragon? I've never heard of it."
"In addition to the Metal Dragon, Gem Dragon, Elemental Dragon, and Sacred Dragon, there are three kinds of Evil Dragons. They are the Cursed Dragon, the Shadow Dragon, and the Silent Dragon … But in the era I lived in, the Evil Dragons no longer existed. Only the Cursed Dragon died in the sea, and the curse has always shrouded the sea, causing the intelligent races in the sea to wither."
"Evil Dragons!"
Liszt heard about a new sequence of dragons, the Cursed Dragon, the Shadow Dragon, and the Silent Dragon.
Gulvig continued to narrate in a somewhat chaotic manner. She did not know which era she lived in. It was probably an era after the fall of the Moon Empire and the Sun Empire. Because she lived in the sea and had never interacted with humans on land, the information she knew was limited.
But when she was young, she heard from her mother and the other six mermaids about the brilliant civilization established by the mages.
And in the era she lived in, the Sea Kingdom was facing the curse of the Cursed Dragon. Every day, they fought with the fallen Nagas who had turned into demons.
"Seeing that the Naga had been completely destroyed, and most of the Clown Fish had also been destroyed, in order to leave a glimmer of hope for the sea, we seven mermaids finally decided to use our lives as a seal to purify the sea. Unfortunately, we could only purify and remove part of the power of the Cursed Dragon. "
With the Devil Sea as the boundary, the coastal sea was purified by the mermaids, but the Devil Sea was still polluted by the power of the Cursed Dragon.
"I'm afraid that the sea on the Malfa Continent has all sunk. There were hundreds of Sea Kingdoms in their heyday, but unfortunately, many mermaids have fallen into demons. Sigh …" Gulvig sighed, and sadness appeared on her pitted, wrinkled face. "I don't know if it's good or bad that I'm alive. Is the power of the Cursed Dragon coming to this sea again?"
Seeing Gulvig's worried face, A Qi could not help but comfort her.
"Don't worry, I've investigated the flesh of the Cursed Dragon, and I feel that it no longer has the ability to continue polluting. Countless years have passed, and the sea has enough power to purify itself. And look, this is the Supreme Demon of the Cursed Dragon that I stripped from you. "
She took out the glass bottle containing the Supreme Demon of the Cursed Dragon and shook it. The magic condensed into the shape of a mutant mermaid immediately turned into a cloud of mist.
Gulvig's eyes were fixed on the glass bottle. "It seems to be much weaker. In the era I lived in, the power of the Cursed Dragon was incredibly strong. All the creatures that had been polluted had fallen into demons, and there was no turning back … Your Excellency A Qi, you are indeed a great Magic Shooter."
Liszt suddenly asked, "Gulvig, since the power of the Cursed Dragon has weakened, can we save the remaining six mermaid kings?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"We used our lives to purify the power of the Cursed Dragon. We never thought that we could resurrect them, so I don't know if we can save them." Gulvig shook his head. She was still a little dizzy, as if she had dreamed for a thousand years. When she opened her eyes, the world was different.
The mages had lost their ruling position, and the Dragon Knight had established many human countries and ruled the continent. Now, they had begun to expand into the sea.
Even the Moon Oracle had become history.
Nothing could compare to the vicissitudes of life.
