ATFBETIBM 188.1

A huge pirate ship came from afar on the blue sea.

The ship’s hull was made of wood, but if you looked closely, you would see that the important parts of the ship were made of hard metal, and there were many holes for cannonballs.

The artificial oars glided through the sea at regular intervals, the blackened sails were spread out, and a black flag with a hideous skull painted on it fluttered in the wind.

Below the skull was a cross shape, with one fork replaced by a long sword and the other by a bone.

It sailed across the sea with thundering speed, like a lion patrolling the grasslands.

Passing ships saw this huge ship from afar and slowed down and gave way to it for fear of offending it.

They knew about this pirate ship, which has been prowling these waters for some time. Although it was here for the mermaid legend, they would not spare the passing merchant ships.

Don’t try to reason with the pirates. If they could reason, why would they be pirates?

If you couldn’t afford to mess with them, wasn’t it better to hide?

However, the bearded captain clearly had no intention of robbing others, and several men, including him, were standing on the deck, studying the direction they were moving on the map.

The silver-haired wizard held up the map and looked at the waters in front of him, while the dark-haired youth beside him stood obediently beside him, as docile as a kitten.

The eyes of the bearded man and the other sailors could not help but glance at the youth a few times.

The bearded ship sighed secretly.

Tsk, yes, the other party was good-looking, but it’s a pity it’s a man.

A beauty is better as a round, plump woman with a well-proportioned body that feels good to the touch.

“At the nose of the skeleton in the center of the sea, there is a mermaid palace hidden. “

The silver-haired wizard fastened the hood over the youth, immediately shielding him from view and blocking the curious gazes.

With a voice as cold as ice, the silver-haired wizard placed the map on the desk in front of him and looked at the bearded man. “You have searched for so long without finding the skeleton’s nose.”

The bearded man drew a circle on the map with his finger and said, “No, we’ve searched this whole area and there are no skeletons at all.”

“We’ve even searched underwater, but there are no signs of skeletons either.”

“There was speculation the other day that the prophecy was misinterpreted, so we searched all the skeletons around here, and there’s not even a “hair” in the crevices of their noses, let alone a clue to the mermaid palace.”

“If the prophecy isn’t wrong either, and the location isn’t wrong, then it’s possible that the timing is wrong.” A clear voice suddenly rang out, easily drawing the attention of those around him.

The eyes of the crowd fell on the youth wrapped in a black cloak. The youth calmly lifted his hood under the slight frown of the silver-haired wizard and said, “The geography of this seaside city has led you all to look for clues during the day, have you tried looking at night?”

The bearded man froze and said, “Yes, we tried twice.”

“But the results were not that good.”

“The first time, we underestimated the hallucinogenic power of the fog,” the bearded man’s eyes dimmed slightly, “but my ship paid for it. All my crew members turned on each other, and I lost all of them.”

“ I was also hallucinating at the time, and by the time I woke up, my knife was stuck in the first mate’s chest,” he gestured to his blind eye, “and my eye was gone.”

“But I didn’t believe it and went again at night.”

“That time was even more sinister. We saw a vision of a giant dragon. It was a golden dragon, each scale as hard as steel. Its wings were almost as big as this pirate ship, and its two golden pupils were more ferocious and bloody than any beast I had ever seen.”

“With the flick of its wings, it could raise waves, and its mouth could even spit out flames that burned my pirate ship.”

“I knew it was an illusion, but it was so real and terrifying that I could even feel the scorching heat and pain from the flames burning around me.”

“My losses were even worse that time. I abandoned the ship with my crew and escaped. We went with a hundred men and came back with twenty or so. I never looked for that pirate ship afterward; I rebuilt this one, and even many of the crew were recruited and brought in again later.”

Dragon.

Bai Lixin mumbled the word in his mind.

In the introduction of the system, there are three fairy tale worlds fused together.

He had seen Prince Rapunzel and the mermaid girl, but the evil dragon, a fairy tale creature, had not yet appeared.

Was it possible that what they had seen that night had not been an illusion and that it was really a dragon?

Bai Lixin quickly asked the question, “Why are you so sure that the dragon was an illusion and not a real one?”

“A dragon? Real?” The bearded man suddenly burst out laughing, and even the sailors around him broke out in laughter, as if Bai Lixin had asked an absurd question.

“Dragons are creatures that only appear in myths, legends, and fairy tales, there are no real dragons in this world.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

But this is a fairytale world.

Would you be surprised if you discovered that?

In the live broadcast room.

[The bearded man probably never imagined that the world they were in was a fairy tale world.]

[Or that it is a fairy tale world after three fairy tale worlds merged.]

[Three fairy tale worlds and three big bosses—a sense of hierarchy suddenly came out.]

[Not only a sense of hierarchy, but has the dragon finally made an appearance? I’m so excited now, I’ve been waiting for days. The silver-haired wizard and the sea monster have been running around for days, but the dragon is nowhere to be seen. I was getting antsy.]

[You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry. The longer you wait, the better the wine will smell.]

[What about the two heads? Not are they fragrant, but also satisfying, so I hope God Xin doesn’t eat them all up.]

[…… Damn it, I wish I wasn’t someone that understood that in seconds. ]

[What does “satisfying” mean? What does “eat them up” mean? And what does “two heads” mean?]

[You’ve pointed out all the important points. I have reason to suspect that you are pretending to be innocent.]

The hand hidden under the cloak pinched the silver-haired wizard’s waist.

“I can help you blow off the fog for a few hours,” the silver-haired wizard said with a stiff face, “and since we’ve found everything we need to find during the day, we’ll see what happens at night. If you want the treasure that everyone is after, take the path that everyone else thinks is dangerous. You are pirates, you should know this better than I do.”

The sailors looked at each other and then at the bearded man in unison.

The pressure was finally on the captain.

The bearded man looked at the endless blue water in front of him. The calm water extended straight to the clear sky. It looked very peaceful.

But it was this calm sea that became deadly at night and “ate” up people.

He thought about the two pirate ships he had lost, then about the losses after wasting all this time. He gritted his teeth and tapped the turntable and said, “When wealth is in sight, it is better to get it now than pick another good day. We move tonight!”

“Order it down. Tell them to get all the escape boats ready, weapons and ammunition all put away and locked up.”

Having learned from the first and second times, he understood that the biggest enemy was themselves, and since they would kill each other due to the hallucinations, they should lock up the tools for killing each other first.

…………

It was dark, and the fog around them did not extend into the space of the ship under the magic enchantment of the silver-haired wizard.

But the area beyond the pirate ship remained foggy. It was impossible to see, so they could only navigate carefully by compass and map.

Bai Lixin stood in the corner of the deck. As darkness approached, all the sailors scattered and went about their business, leaving Bai Lixin and the silver-haired wizard alone on the large deck.

The youth stared at the unchanging white mane of the sea before him, his gaze a little deep.

Silver-haired wizard: “What are you thinking?”

Bai Lixin: “I’m thinking about the weird girl in the video.”

Silver-haired wizard: “You’re worried that she died in there with those other people?”

“I don’t think so,” Bai Lixin shook his head. “She’s very powerful and can cross any field at will; she wouldn’t die in there.”

“I’m afraid that Miss Xihai’s whereabouts are not what the mermaid legend says.”

“If her song could compel that many people, how could she not compel Mrs Xihai? And from the clown’s account, it seems that Miss Xihai went to the circus of her own volition rather than being forcibly trafficked by Mrs Xihai.”

“Mrs Xihai couldn’t have killed her, let alone eaten her flesh.”

“I’m afraid that even the so-called eyewitness was a fake, and all the rumors were purposefully put out there.”

Silver-haired wizard: “You are quite right in that guess, I checked the basement that day, and there was indeed the smell of the dead in there, but it was human. It was not Miss Xihai who died, but probably Mrs Xihai and her two children.”

Bai Lixin: “If that is the case, then the mermaid legend is even more intriguing.”

“If Miss Xihai is not dead, and deliberately left a message like that, wasn’t it to lure people to this seaside city?”

Silver-haired wizard: “The fog may have something to do with her. Have you noticed that the fog had hallucinogenic effects, and the mermaid’s song has the power of compulsion in it?”

Bai Lixin rubbed his temples.

Silver-haired wizard: “Have a headache?”

“No, I’m thinking that the Miss Xihai on the tape is a phantom left inside,” Bai Lixin traced his fingers over the hemp rope wrapped around the fence in front of him, “I’m worried that since the tape is destroyed, that child will come looking for the real Miss Xihai.”

“If Miss Xihai ran away into this deep sea, then there’s a good chance we’ll meet up with that girl again.”

Had Miss Xihai’s tail changed only on the tape, or had it changed in reality as well?

A tingling sensation suddenly climbed up his fingers. Bai Lixin lowered his eyes and found that a tiny thread in the hemp rope had turned into a green vine.

The vine quietly curled around Bai Lixin’s fingers, the tip rubbing recklessly as it climbed toward the cuff.

Bai Lixin subconsciously went to untangle himself from the vine, but just as his other hand reached out, the wide black cloak suddenly glowed brightly the moment he inadvertently touched the vine.

The next second, the vine flew several meters off the deck.

The silver-haired sorcerer saw the situation, sneered, and walked in front of the vine, condescendingly saying, “You think I will let you run amok again?”

“I have already put a curse on my master’s cloak; you will be attacked the moment you touch it.”

The vine curled up on the deck, then quickly grew and tangled at a rate visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into an athletic 18- or 19-year-old with short black hair and dark green eyes.

The appearances of the teenager and the silver-haired wizard were the same, except that one looked twenty-eight or twenty-nine and the other looked eighteen or nineteen.

Sea monster: “……”

Silver-haired wizard: “……”

What bad luck.

The silver-haired wizard had a very unfriendly tone: “Can you stop using that face? It’s annoying to look at.”

The sea monster leaned lazily on the deck, looking up at the silver-haired wizard in front of him, asking, “Why should I be the one not to have this face, and not you?”

The silver-haired wizard brought his magic wand from his cloak and said, “On the basis that you are about to die.”

“Heh, if the curse is your ultimate killing move, then you can’t kill me,” the tall boy said disdainfully. “I wouldn’t even have been hurt if you hadn’t sneaked up on me.”

The silver-haired wizard sneered, his silver eyes freezing with rage: “Then you are still too young, and soon you will find that death is the greatest mercy I can show you. Although I cannot directly kill you with my hands, I have tens of thousands of ways to make your life worse than death.”

However, the sea monster was completely undaunted as he slowly stood up, his dark green eyes with a natural untamed look in them, and said, “I’ll give that sentence back to you, I have ten thousand ways to make your life worse than death too.”

Bai Lixin felt it was time for him to pull the plug; if he let this go on, it would be a big “I killed myself” tragedy scene.

“So,” he squeezed in stiffly, “have you ever considered that you look like that because you two are twin brothers?”

The silver-haired wizard and the sea monster frowned at the same time.

The two looked at each other with disgust for a few seconds before saying in unison, “That would be bad luck, who wants to be brothers to him?”

Bai Lixin: “……”

Who is the unlucky one here?

In the live broadcast room.

[Hahahaha, it’s time for the love rivals to meet each other again and eat vinegar. Two are wonderful, but three are exciting.]

[This copy is testing God Xin’s bottom line bit by bit, Xin Shen must feel trapped, haha. ]

[The question is, which one is the big boss, the silver-haired wizard, or the sea monster?]

[Perhaps both of them are the real big boss. Originally, there was one for each fairy tale world, and God Xin was supposed to go to each fairy tale world, and meet each one by one.]

[The fairy tale worlds merged, so the results would have been the same, it only shortened the time that would have been spent strategizing in each world by doing them all at once. You can suspect that there are ghosts in the world, but you can’t doubt God Xin’s love strategy index.]

[Hahaha, God Xin doesn’t need a strategy, okay? The big boss sees him like a wolf sees meat, and even if he just stands there, the big boss will pounce on him and attack himself, so God Xin doesn’t need to do a thing.]

[Big boss: Here, let me give you the pen.]

[A deacon of endurance and an irritable little wolf-dog, the big boss’s various character sets could fill Blue Star.]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, not enough, not enough, we need more.]

“Are you here for something?” Bai Lixin stood between the two men with swords drawn and asked the sea monster suspiciously.

The sea monster looked hurt. “I can’t come to see you without a reason? I missed you and crave your body.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

I think you really want the silver-haired wizard to kill you.

Sure enough, the silver-haired wizard, who had just suppressed his anger, instantly exploded, and ice started to form on the deck with him as the center.

Silver-haired wizard: “Let me kill him.”

“Calm down, calm down,” Bai Lixin’s temples hurt a little, “getting angry is punishing yourself for someone else’s mistake. Don’t get angry and ruin your body.”

As he spoke, the unmindful sea monster reached out with a vine and instantly rolled the youth into his arms, right under the silver-haired wizard’s nose.

This time, the black cloak did not emit a dazzling white light, nor did the vine bounce off Bai Lixin.

Countless vines flew out from the sea monster’s body and easily wrapped themselves around the youth’s wrists and ankles. The sea monster placed his nose on Bai Lixin’s neck affectionately and sniffed it with a happy expression.

He held the youth In his arms and looked at the silver-haired wizard victoriously, as if he were a child who had snatched his favorite toy from his arch-enemy, “What do you think a broken curse can do to me?”

“My body can quickly analyze and create an immunity mechanism after being cursed once, and that curse of yours can only be used once.”

The silver-haired wizard was about to die of anger.

Overhead, small, partial drifts of snow began to fall.

“Heh.” The sea monster looked up curiously, “you’re pretty good, you’re even making a romantic scene for us.”

The magic wand In the silver-haired wizard’s hand creaked from being squeezed too hard.

Bai Lixin, who wanted to fly away now, “…”

Wait, if you two want to duel, don’t involve me, I want to live, okay?

In the battle between two people, why is he the one who is always injured?
