Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 186 The Living Island

After finding Cecilia asleep, Demetra began to keep vigil.

The grassland was unbearably cold on early winter nights. I don't know what kind of magic Cecilia used before falling asleep, but the tent was warm, which made Demetra feel a little sleepy.

I seemed to have taken a nap in a daze, but was awakened by the sound of water.

Cecilia was probably extremely sleepy and tired, so she chose to pitch her tent in a place not too far from the water. Plus, she was an elf, so her hearing was very good.

After the sound of water subsided, Demetra heard a rustling sound again.

She began to become alert.

Looking at the sleeping Cecilia, she walked out of the tent first.

Judging from the noise, the other side wouldn't have too many people.

If there are three or five people, Demetra is still confident that he can control the opponent.

After leaving the tent, I could no longer hear the sound.

Demetra frowned and looked around.

She didn't think it was just an illusion.

He didn't dare go too far away from the tent, for fear that the other party would attack the sleeping Cecilia.

After a long time, when there was still no sound, Demetra prepared to return to the tent.

When I turned around, I found two people standing behind me.

Demetra's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He didn't even notice that the other party was behind him.

Damn, there was a tent behind me just now. Could something have happened to Cecilia?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Demetra's mind.

Only after I saw the other person's face clearly did I slowly feel relieved.

She looked at the two of them with a suspicious expression, "I don't think Cecilia wants to see you."

Ellal nodded, he knew this.

He also knew why these two people appeared here.

In addition, there are differences between men and women, and they guessed that Cecilia must be very tired. Knowing that she was resting inside, the two of them would not go in and disturb her.

"Then why did you come here?"

Bernadotte opened his mouth and replied, "There is no dragon here. You can leave now."

Demetra looked at the two men with suspicion, not really trusting their words.

Ellard knew what Demetra was thinking from Demetra's expression, which was why he didn't rush to speak. "Okay, Bernadotte, we should go."

Demetra did not try to stop them nor urge them to leave. She just watched them leave.

I couldn't figure out the purpose of these two people coming here.

These two are now black magicians, and it seems that they have the means to prevent themselves from hearing their thoughts.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Demetra didn't understand why they didn't use magic to leave?

Do they still expect me to keep them?

Just as she was thinking about it, Ellal turned around and said to her, "Tell Cecilia that we will see each other again soon."

After saying that, the two disappeared from the spot.

Demetra frowned. Ellard knew that Cecilia didn't want to see him now, but he still asked him to pass on this message. She could dream on.

Demetra went back into the tent.

Cecilia was sleeping soundly and had no idea what was happening outside.

Demetra sighed.

When Cecilia woke up the next day, Demetra told her everything that had happened that night.

Cecilia didn't seem very surprised.

"The tail that had been following us before has not caught up. They may have known our plan for a long time."

Demetra was annoyed. He should have stopped that person when he was following behind them. Otherwise, Elar and others would not have been able to get ahead now.

Cecilia seemed unhurried, "Let's go in the water and take a look later."

Demetra just thought that Cecilia didn't believe what Ellard said.

In fact, Cecilia believed what Elar said.

The other party should have come here at the same time as me. When he said he didn’t find it, it was probably true.

But just because he didn't find it doesn't mean it's not here. Just to be on the safe side, I'd better wait until I really don't find it before I make any efforts.

As for saying see you soon.

Cecilia was mentally prepared.

As a subordinate of the black magician, when I want to seal the black magician, it is impossible for the other party to continue to seal him by myself.

Now she and Elar and others are really standing on completely opposite sides.

The opposite of either you die or I die.

Cecilia was ready to fight them head-on, and now it seems that at least Ellard is ready as well.

The two stayed in Lelierze for another three days.

In the end, nothing was gained.

Cecilia was not discouraged.

But this is true to a certain extent. If we ignore the element of luck, Elar and the others are much faster than me.

Is there any special method?

Cecilia didn't know this either.

The two of them took a short break, or to be more precise, Cecilia took a short break.

When they set off again, Cecilia joked, "I am the one who is holding them back."

Demetra was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.

This time they did not set out from Clifton Harbor, but instead bought a small boat from a small seaside town and went out to sea.

Sure enough, not long after leaving the sea area beyond human activity, things began to become uneasy beneath the surface.

Demetra had already been informed by Cecilia of the Mermaid Kingdom's current attitude towards them.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still surprised.

"Are these all here to attack us?"

Cecilia nodded, "Don't resist once you get into the water, they'll most likely take us to the dungeon of the Mermaid Kingdom."

Demetra nodded, not quite understanding, "And then?"

Cecilia smiled, "Then we just have to wait for someone to steal us out."

She looked at the sirens waiting for an opportunity under the water. She wondered if they would be very angry if they knew that their high priest and small patriarch were "traitors".

Although she was curious, Cecilia would definitely not ask.

This kind of behavior of taking advantage of others and still acting ungrateful is likely to lead to being struck by lightning.

The two looked at each other and went into the water.

The blessing of the ocean is still the blessing of the ocean. Although they could stay underwater for a long time in Lailzer, the feeling was still somewhat different from that in the sea.

The moment she entered the sea, Cecilia felt the movement of the entire sea water, which was joy.

Cecilia, on the contrary, felt a little sad again.

As expected, Cecilia and her partner were captured by the sirens, and the sirens that captured Cecilia this time seemed to be different from the ones that captured her last time.

Or maybe he didn't see through the mask on her face.

While being imprisoned, Cecilia felt the flow of black magic.

You don't have to think about who did it.

Those two people were also locked up?

Cecilia thought that they were so powerful that they could escape the mermaids' pursuit.

A new person was put in jail, and Elar knew who it was.

They are fully aware of each other's existence.

Ellal began to get anxious.

It was pitch dark in the prison and he had no idea how much time had passed.

Cecilia has caught up.

three days?

five days?

Or a week?

They were clearly the first to arrive, but now Cecilia has easily caught up with them.

It doesn’t matter, as long as I can get out of this prison before Cecilia.

As soon as Cecilia entered the cell, she took out the night pearl that the young patriarch had given her. In an instant, the cell became much brighter.

Ellard didn't know the time difference between the two, but Cecilia knew it very well.

The other party left Lailze three days earlier than me, and the time he spent on the road was much shorter than mine.

I'm afraid Elar has been locked up in the mermaid prison for four or five days.

Haven’t been out for four or five days?

The last time Cecilia came in, she was expecting to die and had never thought about leaving. Now she realizes that this cell is not as simple as yours.

Although she knew it was not easy, Cecilia was too lazy to put it into practice to see how difficult it was. It would be a waste of effort to try.

Cecilia discussed her speculations about the cage with the system from time to time.

The system knew the nature of the cage, but seeing Cecilia guessing with great interest, it did not give her a direct answer.

I had probably only been in prison for less than four hours when my cell door was opened.

The environment of the deep-sea cage is quite quiet. In addition, Ellal has been trying to keep an eye on the outside. Now he hears the cell door being opened, and is wondering if there are any traces of other people's magic.

Could it be that Cecilia has successfully escaped from prison?

After all, the other party escaped from here some time ago. Ellard thought that Cecilia might escape from prison quickly, but he didn't think it would be so fast.

Cecilia looked at the cell without looking at the speechless little chief, and suddenly smiled, then pointed to another cell shamelessly, "The one who came with me is an elf, she is also innocent."

The young patriarch flipped the key and speechlessly opened Demetra's cell door again.

Demetra couldn't help but admire Cecilia.

The three of them left the deep sea prison, and the young patriarch took them to see the high priest again.

This time it was not the high priest who informed the young chief, but the young chief heard that the mermaids seemed to have captured two women with the blessing of the ocean and put them in the cell today, so he became cautious and went to take a look. Otherwise, he didn't know how long these two people would be locked up.

The high priest was a little surprised that Cecilia came again within less than a month.

Cecilia explained to the two her intention of coming to the sea to find dragons, and that she needed the blood of the young patriarch to lift the restrictions imposed on the various tribes by the Peace Treaty.

The high priest had heard something about the fighting and killing on land.

"It is not a good idea to cancel the Peace Treaty now. At least in my opinion, if you are planning for humanity, you should cancel this treaty when humanity is at the peak of its rule."

Cecilia understood this principle, but she had not actually decided when to lift the Peace Treaty in order to maximize benefits.

Seeing that she had not made a decision yet, the high priest just reminded her twice and said nothing more.

The young patriarch was also very happy. He knew that Cecilia was not the kind of person who did not practice what she said. He immediately made a small cut and let Cecilia take blood.

Now the blood of the leaders of the three tribes, humans, mermaids, and elves, has been obtained.

The giants and orcs also need to speed up.

When Cecilia said goodbye to the two, she left a sentence, "The one in the prison is the leader of the dismemberment tribe. Isn't it too easy for him to be locked up like that?"

The high priest knew that Elar was locked up, and the young chief knew that someone had dismembered the chief, but he didn't know that this person had fallen into the trap and had been locked up.

"If the mermaid hadn't let him out, he would probably have been stuck in the deep sea for the rest of his life."

Cecilia didn't think so, thinking that if it was kept locked up it would probably attract the attention of the black magician.

But then I thought that if I really beat Elar up, in the end it would be a waste of the ocean's blessing.

Cecilia said nothing, but the high priest understood her hesitation and said, "They won't be detained for too long. I will let them go in two days when you leave the ocean."

Everyone knows the purpose of the black magician sending people to find the dragon.

Cecilia was naturally grateful that the high priest was willing to help her.

After the young patriarch's repeated pleading, the high priest agreed to let her and Cecilia go to the island together to look for traces of the dragon.

With the young patriarch's escort along the way, the two had a very smooth journey in the sea.

After arriving at the island, the young patriarch felt a little bored.

"Isn't it said to be a small island?"

She looked at the island in front of her, which was not small. She couldn't leave the water for too long, so an island this big was considered very big for her.

Cecilia calmed the young clan leader down and promised that she would tell her everything about her experiences when she returned.

The young patriarch has a childlike nature, but he also knows what is important and what is not.

The two of them arrived on the island, and found that it was indeed much larger than they had imagined before they arrived.

There is no trace of human beings.

Various vegetation grows together, just like a small primitive jungle.

As soon as Demetra arrived on the island, she began to communicate with the creatures on the island.

The two continued to search separately.

Cecilia still felt that she needed to find a cave.

She didn't know why she was convinced that dragons lived in caves.

After entering the jungle, Cecilia clearly felt that she was walking uphill.

Somewhat strange.

When looking from afar in the sea, Cecilia did not see any mountains or other landforms on the island.

She looked up at the trees above her head that provided shade.

Could it be that these plants deceived my vision and made me mistake it for a flat island?

and many more.

Cecilia suddenly realized something was wrong.

Even if the island had some slope, it shouldn't have given her the distinct feeling of climbing a hill.

The island is moving!

This is a moving island!

If they had not chosen the wrong destination, they might be able to find something useful on such a moving island.

It was as if verifying Cecilia's guess.

The ground beneath my feet began to shake wildly, and the surface of the island began to become steeper and steeper.

It was obvious that he wanted to flip them over and throw them into the sea.

Cecilia quickly hugged the trees on the island.

The tree seemed to have its own thoughts, and its roots began to loosen.

With a shake, Cecilia fell into the sea.

When I swam out of the sea, the island returned to what it looked like from afar.
