Reborn as a Mad Dog from a Noble Family

Chapter 220 Is there such a thing?

"Ms. Menglan, can you deduce it again?" Barritt looked at the compass whose needle was pointing to an erratic direction and was at a loss for a moment.

Meng Lan, who looked like a man, shook her head slowly and said, "The direction of a matter can only be deduced once. If I can deduce it infinitely, it is equivalent to having countless opportunities to choose, which is not allowed by the Supreme Being."

"What we can be sure of now is that tsunamis, earthquakes, and strong winds are not part of the challenge, and there are no traces of foreign objects in the city, outside the city, or in the surrounding areas." Barritt spread out the map and pressed down the two corners with a teacup. "Does that mean that both challenges are in the water?"

"There is something strange." Meng Lan dipped her finger in some ink and flicked it lightly on the map. The ink spot turned sharply downward in mid-air and scattered in the sea.

"Since the appearance of Sky Mark, shipwrecks have occurred frequently in the waters of the ancient Chinese nation. In some cases, ships were destroyed, and in others, no one survived." She gently stroked the curled edge of the map. "You should have heard from President Xin that strange noises are often heard at the seaside. As the noises appear, animal corpses float to the surface of the sea and are pushed to the shore by the waves."

"Yes."

"We have tried to avoid the time when the sound occurs when we go out to sea to fish and deliver goods, and no accidents have occurred."

Barritt's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "So as long as we figure out the relationship between the sound and the shipwreck, we can find clues!"

Meng Lan smiled slightly, "Take another look, what are the characteristics of these marking points?"

"They are scattered and very close to the coast. This should be within the range that the watchtower staff can observe with their tools." Barritt observed the ink dots carefully and said hesitantly, "If a shipwreck really happened, they would definitely be able to describe the type of shipwreck, such as a collision between two ships, a ship being attacked by pirates, or a ship being submerged by strong waves, etc."

Arthurs stared at the table with his eyes downcast, muttering to himself, "I always feel like I'm missing something..."

Seeing that he was distracted, Barritt asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why did Buzz jump onto the roof that day?"

"Maybe you're just curious?"

"No. After receiving instruction from the Frost Moon Wolf Leader, Baz has become very disciplined and obedient. He won't act on his own without my orders." Arthurs stood up and whistled out the window, "I have to ask clearly!"

In just a few breaths, the huge Frost Moon Wolf came on the wind and stopped steadily outside the window.

Not hearing the next instruction, it tilted its head curiously, "Huh?"

Arthurs' body froze, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he said slowly: "Um... Mr. Barritt, is there any scholar who knows Warcraft language?"

"How did you get along with each other before..." Barrett was speechless.

At the ferry built by the Xin's Chamber of Commerce, boatmen were inspecting and repairing merchant ships, while crew members were carrying boxes of supplies into the cabin in preparation for the next voyage.

A hunchbacked old man smiled and said, "Jun, you're going to work so soon?"

Wang Jun turned his arms to show off his strong muscles. "They are just superficial injuries. They will heal in two days."

"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future! What is this sack you are carrying..."

"Oh, my cousin's family is going to hold a full-month banquet for their child, and they are short of some ingredients, so I thought of buying some from the Chamber of Commerce and sending them over."

"You know what, the conditions here are really good. Boss Xin has a wide network of contacts. Not only can he get daily necessities, but he can also get some rare items." The old man waved his hand and turned to walk towards the wooden house. "Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Go!"

"Okay, let's talk another day. I'll be leaving first, Mr. Chen." Wang Jun boarded the merchant ship, put the sack in a safe corner, and then looked up at the part he was responsible for - the sail.

At this time, at a depth of four thousand meters under the sea, in the home of the mermaids - Pearl Garden.

Compared with the previous wizards, this wizard's realm is higher, and the composition of his forbidden witchcraft is much more complicated.

However, no matter how complex it is, it cannot escape the fixed framework and system.

For Moshe, removing it was as easy as opening a door with a key.

The magic vines slowly sank into Tianyue's abdomen, unfolding a small magic array. Ten exquisite beads drew "purification" and "removal" magic arrays in mid-air, overlapping three times, and instantly erupted with a powerful wave of power.

The magic power vines remained stable and motionless, continuously transmitting magic power into Tianyue's body to protect her fragile internal organs.

"Sister's fingers moved just now!" Tianya exclaimed.

The leader of the mermaid tribe widened his eyes slightly, "Did it succeed?"

"The witchcraft that has befallen the princess has been lifted. Now she just needs to take the healing potion to wake up."

Mo Xie paused and said, "Is there another wound under the eldest princess's body?"

"Yes, but that was an injury from a sharp weapon a long time ago, and it has healed now." The mermaid chief was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the wizard could find the healed old wound without even looking.

"Can you let me see that wound?"

"Tianya, go ahead."

"Okay." Tianya came to the cushion, gently lifted Tianyue's shoulders and waist, and then turned her over.

Different.

Moshe immediately noticed that the color, pattern and brightness of the front and back of the tail were different.

At least half of the scales were newly grown and looked a bit awkward.

Between these scales, he felt an extremely faint and familiar power.

Tianya lowered her head and began to explain, "That night, my sister and I agreed to go to the sea to watch the moon. After watching for a while, we got bored and wanted to go home. Unexpectedly, a human suddenly emerged from the water. He had a big knife in his hand and chopped directly at my tail."

She pursed her lips, her face full of frustration and regret, "I was so scared at the time that I couldn't move at all. It was my sister who stepped forward and took the knife for me."

"That human is so abominable! If he were still alive, I would cut off his flesh piece by piece and feed it to the fish!"

"Is he really dead?"

"Of course it's true! My sister tore him in half with her own hands!"

Moshe and Artbolg looked at each other and saw a hint of absurdity in each other's eyes.

At night, a human holding a big knife jumped into the cold sea water and swam to the center of the sea. Then, without the mermaid noticing, he swung the big knife and cut the mermaid's tail.

This is definitely not something an ordinary human being can do.

And why the tail?

"Excuse me, do you Yuanke's tails often get injured?"

"We often have conflicts with sea beasts. It's common for our tails to lose scales, bleed, or lose meat."

Hearing this answer, Mo Xie fell into deep thought.

Mermaid scales are different from fish scales. They are very hard and can effectively defend against attacks. Even if they are less tough, it is impossible to cut off such a large piece with just a knife.

Combined with the faint power remaining in the scales, his intuition and heart were telling him that this matter might be related to the "genuine leather" accessories.

He didn't know how he connected the two things together.

It seems that after I return, I will have to ask President Xin to investigate whether there is a black market secretly selling mermaid scales.

Mo Xie raised his hand to signal Tian Ya to lay Tian Yue flat, "Yuan Ke has lost half of his tail fin, so his movements in the water will definitely be affected."

He looked at the leader of the mermaid tribe calmly and said, "I can restore the eldest princess' tail fin."

"Really?!" Tianya, who was in an excited state, did not notice the sudden tense atmosphere.

"You are too arrogant." Before the words fell, the mermaid chief, who had maintained a calm aura since they met, suddenly became more aggressive, his figure flashed, and he turned into a white lightning and rushed towards Mo Xie.

Artborg had anticipated this and released a burst of force, just in time to catch the blade with his bare hands before the mermaid leader.

The turbulent water flow scattered his long hair, and an icy blue aura emerged and wrapped around his body.

The two forces were in a stalemate, and neither side was willing to give in.

The leader of the mermaid tribe snorted coldly, his muscles bulged, and he pushed Artborg with brute force, "Cooperation is fine, but if you put forward conditions to me - no!"

Mo Xie's eyes darkened, and the witch vines strangled the throat of the mermaid leader. "Yuan Ke's behavior of causing a tsunami is also very arrogant."

However, to his surprise, the leader of the mermaid tribe showed a puzzled expression when he heard this, and asked: "We caused a tsunami? Is there such a thing?"
