Reborn as a Mad Dog from a Noble Family

Chapter 221 Familiar Magic

This one sentence immediately defused the tense atmosphere; when their eyes met, both sides restrained their momentum and took a half step back to show respect.

The leader of the mermaid tribe put down his halberd and said, "It seems there is some misunderstanding between us."

"We didn't cause a tsunami!"

Tianya also realized the seriousness of the situation and explained anxiously: "We just used the sea water that washed ashore to catch you!"

"It appeared when the tsunami occurred and left when the tsunami subsided. Princess Tianya, do you think this is a coincidence?" Mo Xie observed Tianya's expression and did not find any sign of lying.

"We find it very strange too!" Tianya felt very aggrieved.

"For hundreds of years, our tribe has lived in peace and contentment on the seafloor. Apart from killing wizards, we have almost no contact with the outside world." The chief of the mermaid tribe said solemnly, "If we caused the tsunami, what benefit would we get from the risk of being exposed?"

Mo Xie bowed slightly to apologize: "I am sorry for making assumptions without any solid evidence. Please forgive my offense."

"In fact, since the Sky Mark appeared, shipwrecks have occurred frequently in the waters of the ancient Chinese nation. Some survivors said they heard a strange sound, like a piece of music made up of long notes, and some fishermen claimed to have seen a strange human figure dragging a fish tail near the reef near the coast."

Moshe's eyes darkened as he recalled that cold night. "The night before the tsunami, we found a boy's body on the reef beach. His head and limbs were separated from his torso, and the wounds looked like they were torn. In summary, people are now suspicious of Yuanke."

When he learned of the mermaid's purpose, he wondered if it was because he had healed the boy's physical injuries that the boy was imbued with the aura of witchcraft, causing the mermaid to mistakenly think the boy was a wizard and therefore brutally killed him.

This means that it was his unintentional kindness that killed the innocent boy.

At that moment, a pain that spiraled deeper and deeper arose in his body. His spirit fetus trembled and let out a cry, causing him to utter the words "I admit" without hesitation.

"Heh." The leader of the mermaid tribe suddenly laughed out loud, "This is what humans are like."

Tianya used her slender fingers to push her long hair behind her. "First, we don't like to sing. Second, we only appear in human territories in human form. Finally, there have been many boat capsizes at sea recently, but none of them were caused by us. The wooden boards, debris, and corpses were too light to sink to our Pearl Garden."

Then she gritted her teeth and said in a sad tone: "Do you know how painful it is to take the transfiguration potion? It's like... someone is cutting my flesh piece by piece with a knife and turning me into sashimi! How can we have nothing to do and run to the shore all the time!"

Imagination is an indispensable element in the process of human creation.

In order to make the image of "mermaid" more full and three-dimensional, people added some dreamy and wonderful characteristics.

So on the one hand, we cannot take legends as facts, and on the other hand, we cannot use facts to measure legends.

"As for the human boy you mentioned, how could we have killed him?" Tianya said angrily, "There is a ban in our tribe that we must not kill innocent people like those bastard wizards. Besides, when we hunt prey, we don't spend time chopping it into pieces. We usually aim for the heart and kill it with one shot."

Knowing that these comments were too subjective to be used as evidence, the leader of the mermaid tribe spoke up: "As the current leader of the Yuanke tribe, I guarantee that if the murderer is found in my tribe, he will be executed immediately."

The words of the clan leader still carry a lot of weight. Artbolg took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Mr. Clan Leader, our goals are the same now, and the cooperation will continue."

He should know that in the East Continent, especially around the ancient country of China, people do not use handshakes.

"Yes." The chief of the mermaid tribe held his hand without hesitation, looking determined, "Find the despicable person who did something wrong and wants to put the blame on my tribe!"

"Human, you are very powerful. I can exchange names with you."

"My name is Artbolg McIntosh."

"What a tongue-twisting name. Remember, my name is Tianhan."

The man and the mermaid secretly exerted their strength. Their faces looked calm, but veins bulged on the backs of their hands.

Moshe saw this scene and observed Artbolg calmly.

The introverted and emotionally stable Marquis Mackintosh actually has such a childish side.

What happened just now?

Artborg seemed to realize that his behavior was a bit strange, so he immediately let go of his hand.

Tianhan raised his eyebrows slightly, clasped and opened his fingers, as if wanting to continue the competition.

Just then, Tianqing came back.

"Wizard, please confirm the materials." After putting the sack in front of Mo Xie, he opened a water wave barrier, trapping him and Tian Han inside.

"Father, Xingyi and the merchant ship team were attacked by unknown creatures in the sea, and the humans suspected that we were the ones who did it."

"I know."

Tianqing was stunned for a moment, "Ah?"

Tianhan patted his shoulder and said, "Remove the barrier."

"Oh."

"Tianya, explain to him what happened."

"Okay!" Tianya swam quickly to Tianqing and began to tell the story vividly.

"…So, we must catch that bad guy and teach him a lesson! We must also let these stupid humans know that their ideas are ridiculously wrong! Absurdly wrong!"

"So that's how it is." Tianqing quickly understood everything.

On the other side, Artbolg looked at the sack that was bigger than Moshe's, and took the initiative to bend over to untie the rope tied to the mouth of the sack, and then took out the materials for making witchcraft and the basic container.

The materials would be destroyed if they came into contact with water, so Moshe used his magic power to create a spherical space in which he refined the magic potion.

It would take him a whole day to operate it by himself. Fortunately, as the spirit fetus matured, the movements of the witch vines and exquisite beads became more delicate and flexible, forming a highly efficient and automated assembly line.

After stacking the firewood, setting up the iron pot, and then using witchcraft to light the firewood, Moshe stood on the witchcraft vines, his small figure swaying back and forth, holding the materials in his hands and carefully placing them into the pot.

Soon, the light blue liquid began to boil, gradually becoming viscous and emitting a faint light.

This means that it has been refined.

A shark soldier swam over hurriedly, stopped outside the shell house, and reported: "Chief, General Xingzhi said that he found something strange in the neutral area. Please go and take a look."

"Got it." Tianhan looked at Artborg, "Tianyue is in your hands now. Tianqing, let's go."

Tianya's figure flashed, and she was about to rush out, "I want to go too!"

"Princess Tianya." Mo Xie called her, "Please feed the princess this witch medicine in five doses. We are both men, and it is against the rules to touch the princess's body. You should understand, right?"

Tianya took the witch medicine, and she was not as regretful and depressed as Mo Xie imagined: "Of course I understand, it's for my sister to wake up earlier."

Moshe looked towards Artbolg and saw that he was already waiting in front.

Sure enough, their ideas always coincide.

Following Tianhan and Tianqing to the neutral area, they did not notice anything strange at first.

After all, there is a lack of sunlight in the deep sea and the hydrostatic pressure is high, forming a dark, low-temperature, high-pressure environment. There are no plants, only fragment-eating and carnivorous animals.

Xing Zhi pointed to the darkness and said seriously, "Chief, there is a group of motionless fish just ahead."

A ball of white lightning appeared in Tianqing's palm, and just like when he dealt with the sea monster before, it radiated in all directions, illuminating an area.

There was indeed a school of motionless fish there.

They were of different sizes, and all had a layer of translucent mucus on their bodies. As if sensing the approach of a living creature, their pale, inorganic eyeballs slowly turned to a strange angle, almost popping out of their sockets.

"Marquis." Moshe narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to grab Atbolg's pants. "Is that magic?"

Artbolg looked down at the top of his head, "Yes, it's water attribute magic."

Such a familiar magic.

Mo Xie's breathing stagnated and the sound of his heartbeat became louder and louder.
