Chapter 136: The strange customs of the Siren, the place where the ancient dragon fell (please subscribe for this big chapter!) On the sea, the captain’s order is greater than the sky. Following Xia En’s order, the [Black Swan] began its voyage in the misty sea under the guidance of [Siren Scale]. have to say. After the negative status of [Blood Sacrifice Curse] was lifted, it has undergone an all-round strengthening, and [Black Swan] feels different when driving. It's like switching from a second-hand car to a supercar, it's exceptionally smooth. But even so, Xia En did not dare to race at full speed in the fog. After all, God knows there are other terrifying entities in this fog that he can't afford to offend. If he hits a reef hidden in the fog, it's no joke. Just like that, three days passed by in a flash while on the road. During this period, An was successfully promoted to a second-level Mystic Pathfinder, with the profession of [Guardian Knight]!
【Status "Knight's Guard" changed! 】 ˆ【Quality: Rare】 But judging from the chaotic flow of magic power around her, the ice crystals spreading on the deck, and the inaccurate spell trajectory. "This is normal." Thinking of this, Xia En glanced at the silver-haired girl not far away. Joy seems to be practicing magic. Joy was confused and curious: "Isn't Mr. Captain's hometown... Duke Island?" … “Joy, you are actually lucky. After all, you still have a chance to return to your hometown.” At that time, she was also timid, afraid of strangers, and had a very poor disguise. The specifics of what you will encounter can only be known after you get to the island. “The farther away a person is from his hometown, the closer he is to his hometown once he returns, the less peaceful his mood will be.” “Ship, Mr. Captain!” Xia En comforted and said: "In my hometown, there is a saying - you are shy when you are close to home." In addition to knowing that this place is suspected to be Joey's hometown and the hometown of all sirens, the only other things left are the legends about creatures like sirens in previous lives. Who would have thought that Joey would not only take off his disguise and guard, but also become a real secret traveler? 【—selflessness, sacrifice, dedication. 】 【Your knight can consume his own secret power and vitality to provide you with a shield, restore your status, and heal your injuries! 】 “A little nervous, a little uneasy, and a little expectant...”
This afternoon. Looking at her appearance at this time, Xia En inexplicably remembered the situation when he first met Joey. Say one thing or another, this state is quite powerful and can be called a small auxiliary skill. The only problem is that Xia En is worried that his physique is too different from An's, and the healing will drain him of his secret power! Xia En suspected that this ghost’s concept of time seems to be different from that of ordinary humans? … Hearing this, Joey suddenly came back to his senses and put away his magic power in a panic: "Yes... I'm sorry..." This means that the distance between [Black Swan] and [Siren Islands] is constantly shortening. Xia En shook his head, looked at the vast sea with complicated eyes, and said. Another thing that left Shane quite speechless was... Her thoughts may have flown to nowhere. These days, the reaction to [Siren Scale] has obviously become stronger. Xia En stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking at the sea. The [Siren Scale] in his hand gave off a faint light. Since the crystal coffin was placed in the cabin, ghost Vivian has not woken up even once! On the panel, her status has also changed to [Vivian (unbound) (sleeping)]. In fact, Xia En doesn’t know much about the [Siren Islands]. Joy was a little confused when she heard this, but from the tone of these words, she could also tell that Mr. Captain was not in a calm mood. “But I...maybe never go back.” But there has always been a big gap between legend and reality. Xia En sighed with emotion, waved his hand, and said calmly: "We are about to arrive at the Siren Islands. How do you feel?" A sentence blurted out from the girl’s mouth by some strange coincidence. Joy was stunned, and then said frankly: "To be honest, I feel quite complicated." To prevent the girl from causing greater damage to the [Black Swan], Xia En walked to Joey and spoke. “Joy, let’s put aside the practice of magic for a while. How about chatting with me for a while?” “In a blink of an eye, it turns out that so much time has passed.” 【Description: When your knight is nearby, your mental resistance and toughness will be moderately increased, and the probability of falling into a negative state is greatly reduced. 】 “Mr. Captain, you still have me!” "…Um?"
"Uh...ah...I mean, you, me and the other crew members are all companions you can trust." “Oh, by the way, there is also the [Black Swan]! Isn’t the [Black Swan] our home?” Joy's face turned slightly red and he explained very quickly. In fact, she didn’t know why she had to explain in a panic, let alone why her heart was beating so fast. —Thumping, thumping, as if it’s about to jump out of the chest. Shaan heard what Joey meant to comfort him and chuckled: "That's right." Suddenly, at this moment. The [Siren Scale] in Xia En's hand glowed with a brighter blue light and began to vibrate slightly. Joy also felt something, looked in a direction in the fog, listened carefully and said. “Listen, it’s singing!” Xia En's heart moved, and he carefully distinguished the sounds in the mist, and sure enough he heard a melodious song. This singing voice was different from any singing voice he had ever heard. melodious, melodious, mysterious. With an intoxicating magic. But the moment he heard the song, Xia En's expression became solemn, and his eyes became wary. 【You heard the siren's song! 】 【After the determination of mental toughness and resistance, you successfully resisted the state of "charm" and "mind control"! 】 You know, in the legend that Xia En knows, the sea monster can lure ships to hit the rocks and sink them! Perhaps the aborigines of the Siren Islands are not friendly towards outsiders? In fact, it is precisely because of this concern that Xia En will wait until the [Black Swan] is strengthened and his own strength is improved again before going to the [Siren Islands] to explore. "The influence of singing is not just for me..." Thinking of this, Xia En immediately looked at the other crew members on the ship. “Captain, what happened?” Xian Ge took the lead and flew over, curiously asking: "What is this sound? It sounds pretty good." As a bronze dragon, it has good mental resistance, which is quite normal. Xia En didn't have time to pay attention to it and turned to look at Fei Ya and An. The former looked as usual and just murmured: "Is this the song of the siren?" The latter came silently behind Xia En, seemingly ready to fight.
Think about it too. Feiya can even overcome the blood-sucking desire engraved deep in her blood. Don’t be too easy when you resist the temptation of the siren’s song. Since An is both a knight and an elf, it is normal for him to be immune to abnormal mental states! …” Xia En’s mouth twitched. The person closest to an ordinary person on this ship is me, the captain? From a certain perspective, this is probably the advantage of having a crew of aliens. In the event of such a special incident, there is no need to worry about their safety. Finally, Xia En looked at Joey beside him. After hearing the singing, the girl had a complicated look on her face. Soon, Joey took a breath, and then spit out an ethereal and crystal-like song. We were clearly in the white mist, and the sky looked a little bleak. But her singing immediately reminded Xia En of the scene of the evening wind blowing through the window on a summer night and the wind chimes swaying gently. There is an indescribable sense of clarity and transparency. It makes people who hear the singing unconsciously feel at peace. Although Xia En has long seen Joey's talent of "beautiful singing voice" from the panel. But it was also the first time for him to hear a girl singing loudly, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. But it seemed that he heard the singing of his own race, and the voice of the siren paused slightly in the mist. When it started playing again, the strange feeling in the singing subsided. Instead, there is a kind of closeness and gentle kindness. If the previous singing was "bewitching" and "seduce", then the current siren's singing has become an "invitation." Perceiving this change, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and slowly drove the [Black Swan] in the direction where the singing came from. However, Joey did not stop singing. Two similar but different songs, rising and falling one after another in the mist, seem like a special way of communication. Not long after, as if attracted by the singing, several different voices rang out in the mist. Gradually, they gathered into a chorus of sirens. This is not an ordinary chant, but a ritual with mysterious qualities. 【You listened to the welcome chorus of the sirens! 】 【In a short period of time, your endurance and mysterious attributes have been slightly improved! 】
Seeing these lines of prompts, Xia En lowered his guard slightly. He was quite worried at first, and the encounter with the sirens turned into a situation where the battle started within three seconds of meeting. At present, it seems that the worst case scenario should not evolve. It didn’t take long. Under the guidance of the song, a strange archipelago slowly came into Xia En's eyes. And on the sea surface and reefs near the [Black Swan], mermaids began to appear one after another. They have beautiful faces and figures, and their lower bodies are strong and powerful fish tails. Black hair is spread behind the mermaid, and a large area of white skin is exposed to the air, with only the most limited shielding using shells. stand Noticing Xia En's gaze, the sirens laughed like silver bells and waved to him without shyness. Among them, there was also a siren who let out a low exclamation. “It’s a man…” Amidst the harmless laughter of the other sisters, the siren who exclaimed shyly dived into the sea and hid. Xia En's eyes swept over them and looked at the nearby rocks, but he didn't see any dry corpses or white bones. At present, the attitude of the Krakens is relatively friendly. A moment later, the [Black Swan] docked on the shore of this small island. Unlike normal islands, which are built in the central area of the island, the Kraken's residence is located not far from the coast. They used wood to build houses on the rocks and the sea, which are somewhat similar to the floating houses in previous lives. Several wooden houses are connected together to form a coastal village. As soon as the Black Swan dropped anchor, two very similar-looking sirens swam over and spoke in a voice as clear as spring water. “Captain from afar, welcome to the Kraken Islands!” “The patriarch has already known about your arrival and invites you to visit the island.” Xia En was not surprised by this, nodded and said: "Okay, please wait a moment." Although the sirens seem to be harmless, Shane has always believed that it is necessary to be on guard against others. There must be a few crew members left on board the Black Swan. After thinking for a moment, Xia En decided to take Joey and Fei Ya, and the three of them went together. The identity of the bronze dragon is very special, and it would be bad if it attracts the attention of the sea monster. It is quite inconvenient to move on this kind of floating building, and the driftwood may collapse with just one force. …
… It didn’t take long. Led by the twin mermaids Lulu and Lili. The three of them arrived at the largest and most eye-catching floating house on the sea. What surprised Xia En was that the scenes on these floating houses and corridors were not as primitive and ancient as he expected. The wood is cut extremely smooth. At some joints of wooden blocks, you can see the way rivets are connected. The interior of the house is even more beautiful with bright windows and exquisite decoration. There are also several exquisite flintlock guns hanging on the walls. If it weren’t for the mermaid shapes of the residents here, it would be almost indistinguishable from ordinary island buildings. It seems a bit too modern! "How is this going?" With a doubtful attitude, Xia En raised his head and looked at the Siren Clan Leader not far away. This patriarch is a young woman who still retains her charm. Her lower body is still the tail of a fish, lying on the soft cushion on the floor. But her upper body is wearing a very exquisitely made purple dress, which outlines mature curves. “I am the leader of this Kraken tribe, Natasha.” Xia En also spoke: "I am the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En, and they are my crew." After introducing herself, Natasha chuckled and said, "You must be curious now why we are different from the legendary Siren." “The reason is simple... Times have changed!” “We used to be very closed-minded and rarely communicated with the outside world.” “While we were completely unaware of it, human technology has already undergone earth-shaking changes.” “Whether it is artillery, steam engines, or the technology of building houses and making clothes, they have all evolved to a point that is difficult for us to understand.” Natasha's tone was complicated, but soon she said it proudly. “Why can’t Siren have these technologies that improve the quality of life?” “So, my ancestor made a bold decision.” “She began to take the initiative to contact the passing ships and lure them to the Siren Islands to absorb the outstanding talents on board.” "Um?" Xia En was stunned for a moment, and asked with a strange expression: "Absorption...means?"
“As the name suggests, it is to absorb them into the Kraken’s group.” Natasha looked at the dress she was wearing, then at the flintlock gun hanging on the wall, and said slightly sadly. “This dress was made for me by my husband’s own hands, and the pistols were also his treasures.” Xia En asked carefully: "May I ask your husband..." “Yes, he is a human captain.” Natasha said frankly: "He passed away three years ago." …” Shane is in a weird mood. Because he suddenly thought of the legend of the Seven Seas. The Kraken will use its songs to lure sailors to the Kraken Islands and let them stay on the islands forever. At first glance, it sounds like a sea monster took away the lives of the crew. But from another perspective, if the crew members died of old age on the islands, wouldn’t they also stay forever? After satisfying his curiosity, Shane looked at Joey aside and gave him an encouraging look. After hesitating for a moment, Joey plucked up the courage, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and spoke. "Ms. Natasha, actually... I also have the blood of the Siren flowing in my body." "Ok, I know." Natasha nodded without surprise: "Besides, your bloodline is very special." “So, why did you come to the Siren Islands?” Having said all that, Joey felt much more relaxed and said directly: "I came to see my hometown, but I'm not sure whether the Kraken Islands is the hometown in my memory." “That’s it…” Natasha’s words were a little gentle: “So, child, do you still have any impressions of your former hometown?” Joy thought hard, biting his lip and said: "I remember... when I was a child, I lived in a very bright and empty white room." “There seems to be transparent glass on the wall, and several black towers can be seen through the glass.” “White room… glass… tower…” Natasha frowned and shook her head: "In my impression, there should be no such place on the Siren Islands." “Do you remember your parents’ names?” “If they are sirens who have lived in the Siren Islands, I can probably still remember their names.” Joy fell into a longer memory, and finally spoke with difficulty after a long time.
“My mother, I think her name is Diana…” “Diana!?” Natasha's tone suddenly rose, and a flash of disbelief flashed in her eyes. Joy's face showed hope and asked: "Madam, have you heard of this name?" "certainly." Natasha stared at Joey with extremely complicated eyes. “Diana was once my best playmate and the most talented girl in the Siren clan for thousands of years.” “Even I can only look up at her back.” “However, she disappeared mysteriously when she was sixteen years old. I searched all over the Siren Islands but could not find her.” Joy was confused: "Sixteen years old, missing?" “In other words, I was born after my mother left the Siren Islands?” “It should be like this.” Natasha sighed: "It's a pity, but I'm afraid the Siren Islands are not your real hometown." Xia En silently chewed and digested the information in the two people's words. He thought that by taking Joey to the Siren Islands, things would come to an end naturally, but he didn't expect that there were so many hidden secrets behind it. On the contrary, more doubts emerged. Why did Diana disappear mysteriously? Did she leave voluntarily or was she kidnapped? A white, glassed room that sounds like some kind of laboratory. And who is Joey’s father? While thinking about these issues, Xia En looked at Joey worriedly, a little worried that she would be depressed because of this. But to his surprise, Joey cheered up quickly, and she respectfully thanked Natasha: "Ms. Natasha, thank you." “It’s just a little effort.” Natasha looked at Joey and murmured: "It seems that you and Diana are indeed somewhat similar..." At this time, Joey asked again: "I heard someone said that there is a place on the Siren Islands that can stimulate the potential of the Siren bloodline. Can I give it a try?" Her idea is very simple, and it comes as she comes. Although I couldn’t find my real hometown, I could at least improve my strength and become a support to Mr. Captain. “Of course, kid, it’s just...”
Natasha apologized: "The ancestral land with the power of transformation has been occupied by a group of monsters contaminated by the blood of the ancient dragon over the years." “If you want to go to your ancestral land, you will encounter many dangers.” Xia En said in surprise: "Ancient dragon bloodline?" “Yes, in fact, in the center of the Siren Islands, a real ancient dragon once slept.” “However, it failed to wake up from its long sleep and eventually died here, causing many creatures to be contaminated.” Natasha felt quite ashamed and said: "Our sea monster clan's combat power on land is extremely limited, so we are no match for those monsters, so our ancestral land has been occupied for many years." “If Captain Shane is willing to help us destroy the monsters, I would be very grateful.” Hearing this, Xia En’s eyes lit up. A creature like a dragon is full of treasures all over its body! Materials such as dragon bones and dragon teeth are even more natural and extraordinary materials. He happened to be worrying about what materials would be used to fill the next upgrade of the hull. Isn't this a perfect opportunity? Not to mention, it can also help Joey complete the transformation of his bloodline. Bring the bronze dragon with you, and you might get something unexpected! Thinking of this, Xia En said: "Since Patriarch Natasha has said so, we will accept this commission." "Many thanks." Natasha smiled: "However, since everyone has come a long way, why not rest in the village for a day, and then go to fight against the dragon-blooded monster tomorrow." “We can also give a banquet and entertain you.” Xia En couldn’t refuse Natasha’s warm invitation. However, I don’t know if it was his misunderstanding. During the dinner, when the sirens saw the combination of "two women and one man", they all showed a little disappointment. After finishing the meal, Fei Ya walked to Xia En and spoke seriously. “Mr. Captain, I think...the way these sirens look at you is not quite right, so be careful tonight.” “Hmm? What’s wrong?” Feiya just smiled and said nothing. Not long after, Xia En walked into the guest room arranged by the sirens. Not long after he lay down, the door was quietly pushed open and two figures walked in. (End of this chapter)
