C28

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Pan dragged Ken north of the iceberg.

It was late autumn in the Asian cold zone, and it was getting dark very early. It was still dusk, and the sky had already turned dark.

Using the cover of the darkness, a scout ship stealthily sailed through the fog. This was not a natural fog, but a magic mist created by scout ships. This way, the ship could avoid the eyes and ears of the Viking and safely reach its destination.

In the cabin, a group of knights were discussing in the impromptu combat conference room. The cabin had excellent soundproofing equipment, and the knights were free to discuss strategic arrangements.

"This is the undersea shrine from a month ago." "Tactical staff officer Jack spread out several photos on the table." Then, this was taken by yesterday's patrol boat. "

The print quality was not high. Arthur could only vaguely make out the outline of the Ocean Palace:

The ancient stone structure sleeping at the bottom of the sea had long since been eroded by the sea creatures, turning into something like a reef. The exquisite engravings on it were now difficult to make out. The building was square in shape, except that the pillars were cylindrical, and there were very few steeple roofs in the shape of modern buildings. These ancient buildings were said to have been reinforced with photons mixed in stone, which made the building materials as hard as the Enchantment of physical weapons, and allowed the core of the building to remain standing even after thousands of years of constant flooding.

Compared to the old photos, the new one seemed to have suffered serious damage to the undersea shrine and was surrounded by some sort of black shadow. This was clearly not a mistake in the shooting, but the result of some human factor.

"What the hell is that?" asked Kay, with a funny smile. Octopus ink? "

"Impossible, stupid." Arthur taunted her with a look of disdain.

He was annoyed by the smell of the sea breeze. He could not help but ridicule other people to ease the pressure. "Do you think there's really a big Sea Monster hiding at the bottom of the sea?" he asked. "

"No, the Great Sea Monster exists." "Black Armoured Knight Zack crossed his arms and leaned against the bench, relaxed as if he was on vacation.

"What?" "

"Don't you know that the main job of Westernmost Knight Organization is to deal with the Siren of the Western Sea? They were big enough. "Captain Zack continued," "Some scholars have speculated that the photons in the depths of the sea are a hundred times more concentrated than those on the ground, and that creatures that are affected by the high concentration of photons there will become larger."

"Epic Tier Level Photon Creature! Bedivere exclaimed.

"No, not that bad." The appearance of Epic Tier Level required one to meet very strict conditions. However, strictly speaking, those Siren were indeed [Photon Adapted Organisms]. "An existence second only to Epic Tier Level." "

In this world, humans were just the lowest level of non-photonic adaptations. If they used magic, they would be punished by petrification, and if they used magic, they would have to worry about their own safety.

Higher level photons adapted organisms, such as orcs, whose bodies could adapt to photons, could now use magic without being petrified.

(Note: However, the Beastmen could not perform any magic other than the [Berserker Turning Arts].) The type of magic they use is strictly limited by their genes.

The highest level [Epic Tier Level Photon Creature] was able to accumulate the innate photon energy within the body. Borrowing the consumption of innate photons, they were even able to instantly unleash incomparably powerful great magic. This was the enormous gap in strength between humans and these [Epic Tier Level].

Arthur recovered from his deep thoughts, and said indifferently: "That is not something we should be concerned about right now, so, our mission this time is to defeat the Sea Monster? "

"No, it's even more difficult. We need to secretly investigate the bottom of the sea." We suspect that the Viking is secretly training the Sea Monster as a weapon. If that's really the case, then it would be a huge threat to our Pantolacken. "

"Viking?" Ha, those low-class thugs know how to train Sea Monster? They don't even know how to chase animals! Kay said scornfully.

Other than fighting, Viking knew about fighting. They were just a brainless fighting machine. Kay said she was sure no one would object.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're thinking too much." Jack turned the pen in his hand and said disapprovingly: "Yes Viking does not, but their allies do." Have you forgotten who the real king of Iceisland -- oh no, [the queen] -- is? "

"Merman Race?" Arthur frowned slightly. He finally knew the source of his uneasiness.

The only thing that came to mind was the image of a beautiful creature with a fish tail and a woman in the upper body, which he had seen in his sketchbook as a child.

In the icy sea, the fog coiled around the small island. The picture of the mermaid, singing elegantly on the reef, was backed by a sunken ship. No one knows how the ship sank, but most people think the sinking was due to the merfolk.

It was a beautiful and terrifying creature, tempting and deadly at the same time. If it was possible, Arthur didn't want to interact with these beautiful mermaids.

Jack's words interrupted Arthur's train of thoughts: "That's right, Mermaid. Lovely ladies, photonic adapters of hypnosis. Their hypnotism might be able to control those giant beasts. "

Hypnosis? Indeed, using hypnotism to mesmerize the sailors and sink the ship was a common tactic used by the fabled Merfolk. Arthur had very little understanding about hypnosis. If he had not directly fought with this kind of special magic, it would be difficult for him to make a decision.

However, if the mermaids could control the Great Siren and build up the Siren Knight Army, it would be a huge threat. The Siren s were huge in size, and most of them possessed a variety of strong magic Inherent Skills. It was not easy to fight with these large monsters.

The war between the humans and the Beastmen was already on the verge of breaking out, and there were still people participating. This fall of the Pantolacken was indeed an eventful one.

However, he was different from Arthur. Red Haired Knight was always filled with optimism and anticipation, "Great, I wanted to see human fish a long time ago. "

"Muscle idiot like you, be careful of being hypnotized by fish!" "Arthur sarcastically said, her mouth vicious and merciless," "They specifically hypnotize weak men with weak willpower, who are seduced by beautiful beauties, and then drag them into their Ice Sea to drown them."

Werewolf Boy flinched.

"That's good too!" Kaye gave him a lewd smile. "A peony flower can kill a ghost, don't you understand?" "

"They even cut off a part of the loot and froze the rest of the men's bodies in the Everlasting Ice, mocking them for their foolishness," Jack, the tactical adviser, added mischievously. It was said that the men in the ice were still conscious. They would feel pain in a certain part until the end! "

"This …." "It's not funny at all." "

As if to dispel their unease, the Knights on the ship borrowed the joke and started laughing.
