Quickly wear cannon fodder, just flip the table and feel great

Chapter 267: Mermaids are not only love-minded, but also executioners (17)

Most magical attacks were blocked by this historic stone tablet.

The stone tablet had several cracks due to these attacks, but it still stubbornly blocked this wave.

But Beryl wasn't much better.

After being pampered for a long time in the human palace, she rolled on the ground in the mermaid village covered with shells and beautiful pebbles.

Not only did several bleeding scars appear on his body.

The complicated dress she was wearing was full of holes from being scratched.

But compared to these embarrassments.

Her back, which was hit by the fastest magic, was truly miserable.

That magic was cast by a mermaid magician who was good at the wind element.

So it came faster, just glancing off Beryl's back as she fell.

That's why he wasn't blocked by the fall or the stone tablet.

Wind magic is famous for its speed and sharpness in this continent.

The magic merely brushed past her back, leaving behind a long, thin wound with flesh and blood protruding.

The pain and blood loss, coupled with the fact that the tumbling had just occurred had forced the wound into contact with the salt-soaked shells taken from the sea.

Severe pain spread from her back to her whole body. Beryl's face turned pale and her consciousness began to become hazy due to the pain.

[Why...why...attack me...]

She didn't even ask for the blood and essence of her fellow tribesmen, she just asked for their help.

Why attack her without saying a word?

Beryl didn't understand what she had done wrong.

The mermaids were already unhappy because she dodged most of the attacks.

Seeing this traitor still asking them with such a puzzled expression.

Their scales exploded immediately.

"Why did you attack me? You still have the nerve to ask!"

"You want to slaughter your people so that you can give your human lover a child that inherits your ancestors' top-tier bloodline talent. Yet you still have the nerve to ask why we attack you."

"Why did we attack you? Because we want to live. We don't want to be dead fish used by you to please that disgusting human."

"Oh my god, how can there be a mermaid as shameless as you? You want to kill us, but you don't allow us to attack."

"Human society is truly detrimental to us. From now on, we will no longer rescue people who fall into the sea. We will just watch them drown and feed the sharks."

The mermaids were talking at once, but Beryl became more and more confused the more she listened.

She just wanted the blood and essence of her people, how could it be considered as wanting to kill her people?

Beryl trembled all over as waves of severe pain came over her.

[I... don't... want to kill my clan members...]

[I just... I just want... the blood of my own kind...]

The mermaids' curses stopped abruptly.

Hmm? Doesn't Beryl know?

What essence and blood? Didn’t she come here to kill fish?

The mermaids looked at each other, and finally concluded that Beryl was trying to deceive them again.

Feeling the distrust of her people, Beryl struggled to reach out her hand.

I really... don't...

[What happened...what happened...I don't know...I don't know...]

Although the mermaids were unmoved, Bu Shian decided to listen to Beryl's true thoughts.

After all, she really wanted to know whether Beryl in the original story had ever felt any sympathy for her fellow people.

This determines whether she should leave the other person's body intact.

Of course, it also gives the mermaids an opportunity to listen to the terrible humans.

As Bu Shi'an raised his hand, purple magic instantly enveloped Beryl.

He easily bewitched her even though her magic level was low and her mind was in a trance.

"You said you don't know what it means to slaughter your people, then why are you here?"

Wrapped in powerful magic, Beryl not only cannot lie, but also temporarily has the ability to speak.

Beryl's intention was clearly revealed in her hoarse voice.

"I came here for the blood of my kind."

"Because no matter how hard Sifrak and I try, we can't have children. The book says that as long as humans are nourished by the essence and blood of their own kind, they can give birth to hybrid offspring with highly intelligent creatures."

Knowing that Elena's magic was powerful, the mermaids who were waiting to hear Beryl's truly dirty thoughts were stunned.

Beryl really didn't know this.

So, are they...

Just when the merman was about to say something, Bu Shian raised the question again.

"Does the book say how much blood and essence are needed?"

"Yes, but not many. Just find eight or ten of our kind. It won't harm their bodies. At most, it will just stagnate or slightly regress their magic."

"Then, what will you do if the amount of blood essence is not enough?"

"Keep pumping. It's just a little blood. Nothing will happen. We are all from the same clan. What's wrong with helping me?"

I wanted to persuade the mermaid, who might have misunderstood Beryl, to shut up completely.

What do you mean we are all of the same race? What's wrong with helping you?

It's easy to say that it's just a little bit of blood, but it turns out that you are not the one who was injured.

The amount mentioned in the book is not enough, and you have the nerve to continue smoking without stopping. How dare you be so shameless.

Bu Shian glanced at the mermaid with a cold and resentful expression and continued to ask.

"If it's still not enough, what will you do?"

"Find more merpeople."

"But it's still not enough."

"..."

Beryl, who was bewitched into speaking the truth, did not answer immediately and seemed to be struggling.

After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind.

"I can't lose Si Frank, and I don't want to share him with another woman."

"I've paid so much, even at the cost of hurting my own people. I must have West Frank's child, no matter the cost."

Bu Shian sneered, as if he was just saying it casually.

"Oh, at any cost, what do you mean?"

Beryl was silent for a moment, and her answer was as soft as a mosquito.

"Even if I have to drain all the blood and essence of my tribe, I want to have Xi Frank's child."

"For the sake of my children, I cooperated with them and tricked my own people into coming up to draw their blood. The Mermaid Sea will no longer be my home. For the sake of my only remaining home on land, my own people will have to step aside."

Her words undoubtedly ignited the mermaids watching.

They all shouted and threatened to rush over and kill her.

Bu Shian pressed his hands, signaling the mermaids to be quiet.

She hasn't finished asking yet.

These mermaids who have lived in the sea for many years only saw a love-brained traitor and did not see the danger of humans.

Bu Shian cleared his throat and asked the most important question.

"For a human man, you're going to slaughter your own kind, with whom you've lived for so long?"

"...Yes, because I love him. You have no idea how wonderful love is. I can do anything for him."

"Can he do anything? What if he cheats on you?"

"what?"

"Ordinary humans who can't use magic can easily produce children by marrying with highly intelligent creatures."

"You and that Si Frank haven't had a child for so long. Either he's been hiding the fact that he can do magic, or he's deliberately using contraception."

Beryl was silent again.

This time she didn't remain silent for too long and quickly gave her answer.

"He must have had his own agenda when he lied to me."

"Whatever his plans are, I will support him."

This time, Bu Shian didn't need to ask, because the mermaid elder with a gloomy face asked the key question.

"If that Sifrak lied to you just to kill all the mermaids except you, would you support him?"

Beryl replied without hesitation.

"Of course, he must have his reasons for doing so."

"He wanted to kill the merman tribe, but he only left me behind. He was so gentle and considerate to me day and night. He must love me."

"True love is priceless. What's wrong with supporting him?"
