How to become a mermaid

Chapter 422 You Guess, I Guess, Everyone Guess...

Mayan Empire, under the Crescent Cathedral.

Holding Carlos' letter in his hand, Edwin now has an extremely complicated expression on his face.

He didn't expect that Carlos would reply him with such a message.

"Pochi's mother?" He repeated the contents of the letter, and his brows began to wrinkle.

Compared with happiness, he is more suspicious now.

In the vast sea, Carlos didn't find those advance team members, but first found Pochi's mother?

The sea is so big, how did they just meet?
This probability is even lower than being struck by lightning a dozen times in a row!Coincidentally, Edwin even thought he was joking!

No matter how you look at it, something is wrong.

"Could it be because this guy didn't make progress in the mission, and he was afraid that I would blame me for finding a random mermaid to make up something?" Edwin was a little uncertain as he tapped his fingers on the table.

After thinking about it, he decided to question Carlos directly.

【How did you meet Pochi's mother?And you're so sure she must be Pochi's mother and not some other mermaid?
You have to tell me the truth Carlos, if there is even a little bit of deception, I will never let you go! 】

Just a few minutes later, Edwin saw Carlos' reply appearing on the letter paper.

【Lord Edwin, I dare to swear with my life and soul that the mermaid I caught is Pochi's mother!

This evening, I was searching for traces of the advance team members in the waters near Digea, and then accidentally discovered a mermaid appeared in the coral not far away.

She seems to be hunting and has a lot in her hands.

At that time, I didn't pay much attention to her, and I was ready to leave after two glances.

But just as I was about to leave, I heard her talking to herself.

["There are so many beautiful sea snakes here. Pochi likes sea snakes the most. If I catch him some as gifts, he will be very happy, right?"]
["But... what if he thinks these little things are not decent enough? He is not the same as before. He is a candidate for Sea God who is loved by countless people, and he has a chance to become Sea God in the future!"]
["Playing with snakes or something, seems a bit out of status..."]
I understand your doubts at this time. To be honest, when I heard what she said clearly, I was as shocked as you, and I even wondered whether everything in front of me was someone's trap.

But such a good opportunity may really only be once, if you miss it, it will never be there again, so I rushed over and grabbed her.

The whole process went smoothly without any hindrance.

After bringing her back to one of my strongholds in Istar, I interrogated her severely, and easily confirmed the news that she was Pochi's mother from her mouth!

This time she will appear in the sea near Digea just to visit Pochi.

In other words, we can't wait to get rid of that mermaid, and it will appear in Di Geya soon!

Lord Edwin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!

That goddamn Moni Degea has been against us and sabotaged so many of our plans just to get this mermaid up.

As long as this mermaid gets rid of, no matter how many tricks he has, he will have nowhere to use it! 】

I have to say that after reading the contents of the letter, Edwin was a little moved.

Although he always knew that Moni was working for Pochi, he didn't know much about [Pochi].

Apart from knowing the name and general appearance, other information is difficult to check, not to mention where Pochi was found.

Now that he has the opportunity to directly capture Pochi who is hiding behind the scenes, this is undoubtedly a great temptation for Edwin!
Even if his plan has not gone well so far, as long as Mooney fails, they will return to the same starting line, and he still has a chance to start all over again!
Under the huge temptation, Edwin chose to trust Carlos again, and slowly wrote on the letter paper:

[Bring her to me tomorrow, remember it must be alive, don't kill her! 】

Not long after, another line of words slowly appeared on the letter paper:

【Obey, Lord Edwin! 】

.........

"Ha, it's really you, Edwin!" Seeing Edwin's reply asking him to take Laya to meet him, Carlos showed a very mocking smile on his face.

He has worked under Edwin for so many years, and he knows Edwin like the back of his hand, just like the roundworm in his stomach, he knows everything he wants.

Flicking the letter in his hand, Carlos said with a relaxed face: "Forget it, you won't be jumping for long anyway, so let you be happy for a few days first!"

"When you old guy dies, I'll be free from now on!"

……

As the saying goes, some people are happy, and some people are sad.

As night fell, Digea ushered in the second night of this year's Tidal Moon.

Money had just made a plan for tonight's night watch, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he received bad news from Shamanleir.

"Laya is missing in the waters near Digea?" Looking at the contents of the letter, Moni's expression was startled, and then he showed a very annoyed expression, and said in a deep voice: "Damn! I should have sent someone to respond earlier Their!"

"I've been so busy with those monsters these past two days that I almost forgot that Laya is coming!"

All day today, Mooney and his men have been looking for signs of the monsters and for possible victims of their effects.

Fortunately, the trajectories of those monsters are not complicated, and everywhere they go are some places where there is not much traffic. So far, they have affected a total of more than 400 people.

After basking in the sun for a day, the vast majority of these people have returned to normal, only a few of them were discovered too late and could not recover from their human form.

Mooney thought that the troubles would be over, but he didn't expect a new problem.

Looking at the contents of the letter and thinking about what happened in the past few days, a bad guess appeared in his mind: "Could it be that Raya's disappearance is the main purpose of Edwin's operation this time? Those monsters Just a smoke bomb he used to distract us?"

"Although there have been some returning ships in the waters near Di Geya these days, most of them are fishing boats."

"The merchant ships and military fleet stopped their activities one after another half a month ago. It stands to reason that even if Laya encounters a returning ship by chance, it is impossible for her to be taken away without making any noise!"

"What's more, Di Geya's law clearly stipulates that catching and selling mermaids is an unforgivable capital crime, and no one should be stupid enough to oppose me."

After such an analysis, Money felt that his guess was correct.

His expression turned gloomy all of a sudden, and his eyes flashed fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, "It can only be Edwin! That guy took Laya away!"

Although there were some deviations in the process, the final result was consistent with Moni's ideas.

The only doubt in his mind now is how Edwin knew the news about Raya.

Even he himself only found out about this not long ago, and he didn't publicize it to the outside world. It stands to reason that it would be impossible for Edwin to spy on him.

"Could it be that a traitor has appeared under my command?" Money whispered in doubt.

But soon, he vetoed the idea.

It is impossible for his subordinates to betray, even if they betray, it is impossible to reveal Raya's location to Edwin, after all, they don't even know this kind of thing.

"In any case, this is not good news, you have to tell Poch in advance!"

Moni had a more convenient way to contact Pochi than writing a letter.

He reached into the lining pocket of his clothes, and took out a short white whistle about one finger long.

The short whistle was given to him by number six, and he said that if he needed to contact Pochi for something urgent, he could just blow it.

"Woo~~!" The sharp whistle echoed throughout the room.

The second after the whistle sounded, a colorful fish suddenly appeared in front of Moni.

"Number [-]!" Money said in surprise when he saw the fish suddenly appearing in front of him.

And No. [-] obviously didn't intend to reminisce with him, and asked straight to the point: "What happened?"

"There are two things..." Moni stretched out two fingers, and explained in detail: "One thing is that recently there have been unprecedented monsters in Digea, and they look strange..."

"One more thing, the disappearance of Pochi's mother..."

Moni originally wanted to talk about Laya's disappearance, but now that No. [-] was there in person, he simply talked about the discovery of the monster in the past few days.

After carefully listening to Moni's narration, No. [-]'s expression also became serious, and he said in a solemn tone: "Are you suspicious about Laya's disappearance?"

"Yes!" Moni nodded, and said in a firm tone: "I think those people from the Holy Fire Sect did it most likely!"

He told No. [-] about his analysis, and got No. [-]'s affirmation: "You are right, they are the only ones who can do such a thing now!"

After finishing speaking, Number Six flicked his tail again, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, it continued: "As for the monsters you mentioned... I have a vague guess in my heart, but I'm not sure yet. I have to go back and ask No. [-] to see if it saw anything."

"You wait here first, I'll be back in a while!"

After finishing speaking, the light spots on Number Six's body began to flicker, just like when it came, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

Saying goodbye to Moni for now, No. [-] went straight back to the cave where it often stayed, that is, No. [-]'s body.

As soon as it came back, it saw a pair of big eyes as bright as stars staring at itself.

It's number nine, and it's here too.

"Is it because of Laya?" No. [-] asked in a deep voice when he saw his partner who had gone and returned.

"You know?" Number Six asked in surprise.

Now that you already know, why didn't you tell it earlier!

As if sensing the accusation in his companion's eyes, No. [-] blinked slightly and said, "I've been following Laya's movements for the past few days, and I also saw the scene when she was taken away."

"But I feel like there's... something wrong with this thing!"

"The human named Carlos seemed to know that Laya would appear there in advance. He had been there for a long time, and when she appeared, he went up and grabbed her."

"As far as I know, neither he nor that Edwin has the ability to predict, and it is impossible to predict Laya's movements in advance."

"You mean there might be another mastermind behind this matter? Not just those from the Sacred Fire Cult were involved?" Hearing what Number Nine said, Number Six immediately guessed what it meant.

"Yes! I think so!" Number Nine affirmed.

Hearing its words, Number Six fell into deep thought.

After a long time, it said: "In addition to the leader of the Holy Fire Cult named Edwin, there are eight other transcendents on the human side. They formed an alliance a long time ago. Maybe these people are behind this time." Be an accomplice!"

"I can't rule out this possibility, but I always feel that there's something else going on." Shaking his head, No. [-] said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

Although it can quietly observe the dynamics of Raya, it can only see what is happening in the ocean, and cannot see what is happening on Feidnan's continent.

So who assisted Carlos, and what their purpose was, No. [-] still doesn't know anything, but just vaguely feels that this matter is full of disobedience.

"Speaking of it, I also feel a little strange...Money just asked me for another matter."

No. [-] told No. [-] about the appearance of an unknown monster in Di Geya, and No. [-] received a violent response.

"The Lord of Disaster?!" Number Nine exclaimed in shock.

"You also think it is the influence of the Lord of Disaster! He is the only one who can cause such a degree of distortion in living organisms!" Number Six also became excited.

It shudders when it thinks of the catastrophe that happened ten thousand years ago.

How can there be such a terrifying creature in the world, it is simply unreasonable!
Wei Wei raised his head, and No. [-] continued: "But he is still trapped in the sky, and he can't achieve this kind of influence at the moment, unless..."

In the middle of speaking, its voice stopped.

Number six had already thought of the same thing as it, and then said: "Unless it is a close contact with him!"

"But this kind of thing is impossible to do so far. Don't look at it now that it seems to be right above our heads, but it is actually still a long way from Auer star."

"So the only possibility is that those people from the Sacred Fire Cult got part of the Lord of Disaster's organization from somewhere!"

"Regardless of whether the appearance of those monsters was intentional or unintentional, they are playing with fire and setting themselves on fire!"

"People who haven't experienced that era simply don't know how terrifying the Lord of Disaster is!"

When he said the last sentence, Number Six's tone became more serious than ever.

After finishing speaking, it looked at No. [-] again, and said in a requesting tone:

"According to Moni, the missing mutants all jumped into the sea. Can you find them all?"

　Don't ever eat coconut ash ice cream, don't ask me why, Ollie gets so dark that I almost think I have some incurable disease...
