I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 27 Natural Disaster
In addition to this one crawling on the ground, there were one or two frog-like people jumping onto the courtyard wall, squatting on each side. Then, two more reptiles came in. Master Pei, who was knowledgeable, also felt that these people hardly looked like humans.

Because they look like crocodiles, but you can still see all the human characteristics in them, but they don’t look completely like crocodiles. Their clothes have rotted and seem to be festering, and they have a foul smell.

They have fin-like spikes on their backs and elbows.

Four people came in one after another, and finally, another person appeared. He was holding an umbrella and wearing an old black robe that was dragging on the ground. At the same time, the robe was cut open between the legs to prevent it from being stepped on. When he walked, you could see that his feet were bare, and his soles looked a bit like the soles of amphibians.

The black scales on the instep extend all the way to above the knees, and no longer can be seen above that.

You can see that the hand holding the umbrella is also like a frog's palm, with patterns on it and scales on the back of the hand. The other hand holds a strange cane, and no one knows what it is made of.

The top was inlaid with corals and gems, and as he raised the umbrella higher, his face was finally revealed.

His face was no longer human. Although his facial features were vaguely recognizable, it was all red, like the color of some fish in the sea, or like an infection after inflammation.

Moreover, his face looked like it had been soaked in water for too long, like a red dough that had been soaked. His ears also had some kind of fins, which were also red. There was only sparse hair on his head, his cheeks were bulging, and there was a vague opening on the lower part of his cheek.

He already has gills.

Neither Mr. Pei Si nor Han Yitong spoke, they just stood under the eaves and watched, but the other party spoke.

"I am Yu Xuanji. I am forced to show myself today. It is not for any other reason, but only for the two tribes of mermaids to coexist peacefully."

The other party was actually quite polite, but the way he looked at people with those fish eyes made people feel weird.

"Oh? Did you come from the sea, or are you originally a human?" Han Yitong asked directly.

"My grandfather was once a member of the [Forbidden Foreign Affairs Investigation Team]. Since then, we have been part of the merman clan. Therefore, we have been guided by the sea and found our spiritual home, but we have lived on land since childhood."

At this time, Fourth Master Pei spoke up, "Two of the members of the Investigation Team sold their merchant ships and went into commerce. I imagine your grandfather was one of them. He didn't do it for commerce, but to prevent others from discovering your abnormalities."

"Yes." Yu Xuanji answered without denying, "Fourth Master's ancestors were also members of the investigation team. We all have a deep bond and we shouldn't fight to the death here."

"You are the ones who came to me. With so many things like you, where do you usually live? In the sewer?" Master Pei Si seemed to have guessed it a long time ago.

"The Fourth Master is worthy of being the Fourth Master. He hasn't left the training hall for so many years, but he is still smart." Yu Xuanji praised.

But Han Yitong said here: "Why are you saying so much? Time is not on your side. With such a big commotion, no matter what the outcome is, you can only withdraw from Hai City."

"Haishi doesn't belong to you." Yu Xuanji suddenly said in a fierce voice, "Why do you have to divide us into different racial categories for no reason?"

His voice was strange and unclear, but understandable.

"Why do humans have to be like you? Aren't murlocs humans? Do you have to single us out?"

"You are not the only ones who can live on this land. Since ancient times, we fishmen have come ashore to rest and bask in the sun. It is you who, upon seeing us, call us monsters, beat us to death, and take our belongings to make all kinds of objects for people to enjoy and play with. You are the cruelest people in the world."

"Since ancient times, this place has been our fishmen's scale drying ground. You have occupied this place and want to wipe us out." The other party became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice came through the rain.

Those strange fish eyes were filled with anger, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier in his anger.

The half-fish, half-human monsters next to him were also stimulated by his emotions and made strange noises, as if trying to intimidate the two people under the eaves.

However, Han Yitong seemed unaffected by his emotions, and asked calmly and sharply, "What is your position in your fish-men tribe?"

The merman took a deep breath, as if to defend himself. "I serve as the priest of the merman tribe in Luoshahai City. I came here for no other reason than to ensure that the two tribes can live in peace."

He once again spoke of living in peace.

Han Yitong said coldly, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. You are no longer human, but have been transformed into a demon. Your mind has been parasitized. You are not here for peace. If you really want peace, you should report the name of your tribe and hand in your name card to the management committee building. Someone will contact you."

"I originally thought you came here to kill me quickly, hoping to conceal the fact that you have someone in the Spirit Purification Bureau. But you've been so talkative and haven't tried to cover up the truth by killing us quickly, so you must have another purpose."

As Han Yitong spoke, she was thinking about their real purpose.

"I know their purpose." Mr. Pei Si suddenly said.

"Oh, Fourth Master knows?" Han Yitong was a little surprised.

"Of course, after all, over the years, too many people have had this idea." Master Pei Si said, "Also, over the years, I have rarely left the training hall. Why? Because I feel that someone is secretly watching the training hall."

"What in the training hall is worthy of such a long-term spying? It is only one person, the 'Tiger'."

"Some things want to obtain the divinity of the mountain lion and want to build a temple." Master Pei Si seemed to see through it all.

"Then why don't they take action or rush in?" Han Yitong asked.

"Because among them, there is no one who can truly devour the divinity of the mountain king yet." Master Pei Si guessed.

But Han Yitong's eyes lit up, and she felt that the Fourth Master was right. Because she came suddenly, the other party was not prepared and could only act hastily.

At this moment, Han Yitong once again heard the faint high-pitched chanting voice.

This time the chanting was not in the city, but came from the distant sea.

Han Yitong could clearly tell that the chanting came from the sea, and her keen perception made her see an illusion that a huge wave was rushing towards the sea city.

This is a natural disaster! This thought came to Han Yitong's mind.
