"Your Majesty Liszt."
"Gulvig, how's your recovery?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I can't fight, but I can dive in the deep sea." The bumps and hollows on the huge mermaid Gulvig's body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. She looked much more pleasing to the eye, showing a little of the true elegance of a mermaid.
Liszt smiled and nodded. "That's good. Only with a good body can you enjoy this wonderful life."
"A beautiful life … I just hope that the ocean can be purified as soon as possible so that the countless souls that have fallen into the curse of the Cursed Dragon can be freed from their pain."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
After chatting with Gurweg for a while, Liszt entered the palace-like laboratory on the sea. The interior of this seemingly magnificent and gorgeous building was a lot rougher. The artistic cells of the fish clown were not strong enough. There were too many traces of cutting and chiseling, and it was crooked and had no sense of symmetry.
This made Liszt instantly think that in the future, the clown fish would be responsible for the construction, while the serfs would be responsible for the decoration.
"Your Highness, you're here." The Vice President of the Magic Guild, Kenley, came out to greet him. The Fire Kingdom had yet to be established, so the way they addressed Liszt was rather chaotic. Most people still addressed him as His Highness, and a small number of people already addressed him as His Majesty. There was no unified rule.
He himself did not care. His Highness and His Majesty were the same.
"Where is A Qi?"
"His Excellency Achilles is currently conducting an experiment in the laboratory. Your Highness, please follow me." Kenley led the way while reporting the progress of the experiment. "Your Highness, while you were away, the laboratory has completed the preliminary purification experiment on the power of the curse. His Excellency Achilles is currently improving the process."
"In other words, the purification of the curse power will soon be completed?"
"Yes, it's not very difficult."
"Isn't it difficult? The ancient mermaids couldn't do this even if they tried. "
"Their technological concepts are too backward. Although the Weave is declining, magical technology is constantly being developed. Our understanding of the truth far surpasses that of ancient times. Besides, His Excellency Achilles always brings us an endless stream of ideas and helps us expand our horizons. "
A Qi was indeed great. She had greatly advanced magic technology.
However, Liszt was also proud of himself because he was the one who had brought many new ideas. If it weren't for the knowledge he taught A Qi, the sorcerers here would probably still be in a state similar to "the sky is round and the earth is square." He did not know what the universe was, what planets were, and what gravity was.
He asked, "Then, has the experiment of reversing the seal been completed?"
"The experimental plan has been designed by His Excellency Achilles Roydes. It's mainly based on the idea of the curse power contaminating Gurvig and designed a reverse petrification concept. However, I still need to verify some of the experimental steps, which might take a few days. "
"Yes, I understand."
When he arrived at the largest laboratory, he saw A Qi leading a group of Magicians and setting up a huge magic array. A cloud of black mist was constantly changing in the magic circle. It was the power of the Cursed Dragon that had been stripped from Gurvig.
When the experiment was over, A Qi personally introduced the theory of the experiment to Liszt. She explained a set of complicated ideas, but Liszt felt that he didn't understand anything.
But that did not stop him from nodding solemnly. "Since the plan is feasible, we shall use your design to purify the power of the curse."
…
Three days later.
Everything was ready.
A Qi rode Charlie the unicorn, and Gurvig carried Liszt toward the trench where the altar was found. Although Gurvig had not recovered his combat power, as the king of the sea, the mermaids' ability to control water was no weaker than that of the sirens. They could allow Liszt to breathe steadily underwater.
And they were not afraid of the water pressure of the deep sea.
The three of them quickly dove into the trench and found a gap to enter the sealing altar. Six mermaid statues still stood around the altar. The twenty-meter-tall statues were still very different from real stone statues upon closer inspection. These statues had a "vitality" and were lifelike.
Gurvig swam to the side of a statue and reached out to caress the face of the statue with complicated emotions in his eyes. It was like nostalgia for the past life, but also like lament that things remained the same, but people had changed.
She murmured the other's name, "Krastka Tedio Yowski Winneka … Etnia, we will be reunited for real soon."
It took a long time to recite the names of more than three hundred Moon Age words.
Then she walked to the side of the second statue and also muttered, "Comenius Podolski Actaeon Dieyoni … Blubosi."
"… Tibidas."
"… Sallivara."
"… Wes Wendy."
"… Coco Rich."
The names of the six mermaids were all made up of more than three hundred Moon Age words. It was hard for the orphan Wendy to remember and not forget them.
However, Liszt only remembered the last name of each mermaid – Etnia, Blubosi, Tibidas, Sallivara, Wes Wendy, and Coco Rich. He planned to force these mermaids to change their names after obtaining the Mermaid's Heart and forbid them from using their original names of more than three hundred words.
At this time.
A Qi had already cracked the altar, revealing the pitch-black deep hole below. Then she set up a magic array to guide the power of the cursed dragon out and then bound it with a magic array.
"Roar!"
The dragon's roar sounded in his heart and ears. The power of the cursed dragon, which was like a piece of rotten meat, rushed out of the seal and crashed back and forth in the magic array. Then it turned into a dragon claw and wantonly scratched, but under the powerful binding of the magic array, it was constantly broken and purified. The pitch-black fog attached to it became thinner and thinner.
In the end.
This lump of rotten meat was purified and could no longer condense into a dragon claw. It slowly condensed into the image of a dragon and flew slowly in the magic array.
This dragon was grayish-brown and slender like a snake. Its wings were also like bones, and its entire body was wrapped in scales. There was almost no meat on its body, somewhat similar to the Desolate Dragon in Monster Hunter. Most importantly, where its neck and body were connected, there was also a Dragon Tooth Platform.
"This dragon can also be ridden!" Liszt's pupils dilated slightly. No one knew what he was thinking, but his heart was full of desire. Even though he already had six dragons, he still had a thirst for dragons.
"Your Majesty Liszt, Her Excellency A Qi is going to reverse the mermaid statue. We should stay away so that it doesn't affect Her Excellency's spell casting."
"Okay."
He rode on Gulvig's shoulder and swam into the distance. The mermaid statue did not have anything similar to the Dragon Tooth Platform, so she could only grab Gulvig's hair to stabilize her body. Fortunately, Gulvig was now trying to integrate into human life and had used the scales returned to her to make a set of fish scale tights to avoid being exposed.
With the Eye of Magic, Liszt carefully observed how A Qi reversed the petrified statue.
He saw the magic array cut the little dragon transformed by the power of the cursed dragon into six parts, and then guided the six parts of power quickly into the mermaid statue. After a while, these powers seeped out of the mermaid statue and re-merged into a smaller cursed dragon. Obviously, a lot of power was consumed during the reversal process.
A Qi took out a carefully made glass bottle and put the cursed dragon into the bottle. Then, she removed the magic array and recycled some of the materials that could still be used.
"Is it done, A Qi?" Liszt followed Gulvig and swam back to the statue.
A Qi nodded and smiled, "It's done, brother. Now we just need to wait for the petrification seal of the statue to be melted by the power of the cursed dragon, and then they can restore their bodies."
"How long will it take?"
"It may take a few days."
Gulvig immediately said, "Your Majesty Liszt, Her Excellency A Qi, I will stay to protect them. When they recover, I will bring them back to Anchor Island and offer the mermaid's heart to Your Majesty … As for now, Your Highness, please accept Gulvig's mermaid's heart. "
She said.
She held her chest with both hands, and soon, a beating transparent crystal-shaped azure blue heart jumped out and fell into her hands. She then held it to Liszt.
Liszt looked at the mermaid's heart that was much bigger than him and was a little overwhelmed, "So, Gulvig, what should I do next?"
