Chapter 236 Revisiting old matters
Chapter 236 Revisiting old matters
"Stop resisting fearlessly."
An evil and gloomy voice rang out in the dim dungeon, and the echo of footsteps on the wet tiles was particularly clear in this silent land.
A silver-haired man holding a night-shining pearl lamp walked slowly towards them. Behind him stood a young man with long silver hair. His eyes were greyish white and he showed no reaction to anything around him. If you look closely, you can see that he looks very similar to the brothers Rowan and Rocko.
Krollin was wearing a light and gorgeous dress made of black shark gauze. The swaying hem of his clothes was like rippling black waves, with a faint colorful luster.
Mermaid silk is extremely rare. It is a satin made from the periodic shedding of mermaid scales. It is impervious to water and fire, and maintains a constant temperature and is comfortable. The mermaids do not have enough silk to make their own clothes, so it basically does not flow out. Otherwise, such beautiful silk would have become popular in the City of Light long ago.
The bloodline of light advocates bright colors. The clothes on Krollin were obviously not made by mermaids. To obtain so many scales, conventional purchasing methods would not work, so the only option was to kill people and scrape off their scales.
The first time he saw the clothes, the mermaid king Fischl's eyes turned red. He struggled hard, and the black chain scraped against the skin of his wrist, leaving a bloody mark.
Fischl had a gentle temperament, but at this moment, he almost lost control and roared: "Krolin! You are killing my mermaid people. Do you want to break the covenant and become an enemy of my tribe?!"
Perhaps he thought his words were ridiculous, Krollin sneered. With the same face, Krollin's smile was as cold and wet as the first snow in the mountains, yet mixed with a barely perceptible tenderness. After Jonal's soul took over this body, his temperament changed.
This body fits his soul better than Pasak's, and therefore makes Jonal's own temperament more obvious. The plan is about to succeed, and Jonal doesn't bother to hide anything in front of a group of sacrifices.
"Covenant? You, the merman king, can't even protect yourself, yet you're still talking nonsense." He exuded an unprecedented evil and arrogance, and his sidelong glance was full of sarcasm, "Fischl, you're even more stupid than your father."
The Mermaid King is the only elder among all the elders who was elected without participating in the competition. They are inherited by the royal family. After the death of the previous Mermaid King, Fischl's father, Fischl took over his position.
Because it was an accidental death, the power that had been inherited by the mermaid royal family for generations did not fall into Fischl's hands.
"Shut up! You are not qualified to judge my father!"
Under the white light, Krollin's silver hair, which was half-tied up with a black wooden hairpin, fell slightly, his fair skin exuded a chill, and his curled lips and disdainful look were filled with absolute contempt and mockery.
"Father and son are both so stupid!"
Perhaps it had been too long since he had opened his heart, Krollin talked a lot. He rarely showed any interest in the topic, so he squatted down and stared at the angry blue-haired young man opposite him.
"Do you know how your mother died?"
It was common knowledge that the previous mermaid queen died of illness due to weakness and exhaustion. Fischl didn't understand why he suddenly said such a thing, so she turned away in silence and didn't want to argue with him.
Seeing that he was not fooled, Krolin did not get angry and continued kindly: "Your father fell in love with another female, and your mother was so angry that she stepped forward to argue, but in the end she was ruthlessly pushed away by him."
"It may not be accurate to say that he pushed. In order to express his love to his beloved, he directly slapped your mother. An ordinary female cannot withstand the blow of the beast king. She became ill from then on. If she had received treatment in time, this would not have happened. But your father did not give her this opportunity."
"If she had been more sensible, given up her position as the mermaid queen, and divorced your father, maybe there wouldn't be so many problems. In the end, she's still a fool!"
Only Crolin's voice was heard in the dungeon, and the rest of the people were silent as they listened to the gossip.
In short, the mermaid king fell in love with a female, and for that female he beat the mermaid queen and even intended to kill her. To be honest, this is against moral principles.
Few females would flirt with a male who is already in a relationship, unless they have some unusual fetishes. But the mermaid king and the mermaid queen have been childhood sweethearts, and their friendship is well known. What kind of charm does this female have that can make the mermaid king ask for love despite all the complaints?
And why didn't Fischl know this secret?
"You're lying! My father is not that kind of person!"
How could the father in Fischl's memory, who loved his mother so much, do such a thing?
"It's normal that you don't know about such an ugly thing. Why don't you ask your elders and see if they will tell you. Of course, that requires you to live to that time."
Cedric knew that the person living inside Crolin's shell was Pathak. He certainly didn't take it as some gossip, but compared it with some vague information in his memory.
The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Although Pasak was crazy, he was not completely immoral. However, there was a hint of protection for the female in his words. He even felt that the position of the mermaid queen should belong to her?
This is too strange.
"So, there must be something strange about the Mermaid King's death? Why did the Mermaid King participate in the battle against the Filthy Blood Race?"
Cedric took the opportunity to ask a question. He didn't need the other party's answer, he could figure out something just by looking at his reaction.
The battle was strange in itself, and what was even stranger was that he, who had nothing to do with the Mermaid King, would go into battle and die without a trace.
"Cedric, what I hate most is your cleverness. It always makes me irritated."
Crolin frowned in displeasure. He did not say it explicitly, but it still proved that there was something going on.
"We are all going to die anyway, so why don't you let us die with clarity? What exactly do you want to do with us?" He couldn't tolerate himself sitting there and waiting to die. He still had unfinished tasks, so how could he die here in obscurity?
And Cedric couldn't confirm whether that person would give him another identity. He only had this one life.
"Stop using these useless tricks." Krolin stood up and waved to the silver-haired young man behind him, "Increase the dosage."
After he finished speaking, the young man, who had been quiet all the time, started moving. He picked up a jar, scooped out a bowl of water, and went to open the door.
Don't be fooled by the clear and beautiful water, it is actually the culprit of their powerlessness. The young man entered the cage where Fischl was imprisoned, and without any nonsense, he punched him in the chest, took advantage of his powerlessness to pry open his mouth, and poured poison into his mouth.
Then he quickly lifted his chin and forced him to swallow it. Fischl choked and his face turned red, but he finally swallowed all the poison helplessly.
Then, regardless of whether someone was willing to drink the medicine voluntarily or not, he would punch them in the face. Of course, even if someone volunteered to drink the medicine, he couldn't hear it.
After being punched, the Leopard King was about to cough out his lungs. He shouted loudly: "Krolin, I curse you to have no descendants! Fuck! Don't let me out!"
Immersed in the scandal of the past, Fischl's face turned pale. The mountain that stood in front of him suddenly collapsed. The person closest to him, whom he looked up to and admired, killed another of his closest relatives.
No one can accept this fact.
