Me and my fantasy world

Chapter 185 Crystal Prisoner

"We are almost there, please be ready."

After saying that, the flying speed of the book increased significantly. Long Er and Ling Yi looked at each other and nodded. Long Er also increased his flying speed to catch up with the book.

The cave is winding and the deeper you go, the more magic crystal ores there are around. This shows that the cave contains extremely huge magic power, but this is ultimately a spiritual world and cannot replicate the huge magic power in the real world.

At the end of the cave is a snow-white light. It is as if you have been wandering in a dark cave and finally reached the exit, where you will see a miraculous holy light flashing before your eyes.

"Hmm, what is that..." Although they were prepared to face the white light, Lingyi and Yinlong still underestimated its glare.

As soon as they came out of the cave, the dazzling and crystal white light immediately reflected into their eyes, forcing the two to close their eyes and temporarily stop moving forward.

"So, so dazzling." The silver dragon closed his eyes. Even with the help of the Dragon God's Eye, he could not resist the powerful white light.

Lingyi recalled the feeling at the last moment when he rushed into the light, and analyzed it calmly: "It felt like there were multiple mirrors reflecting the light at the last moment, which was why it was like this..."

"People who have just arrived here are not very acclimatized. You two can take your time and there is no need to rush." ​​The sound of books echoed in my ears, as if it came from all directions, and I couldn't tell the direction.

After a long time, after trying to open his eyes many times, Zero One gradually got used to the brightness of the surroundings, and the scene in front of him made Zero One open his eyes wide again.

The world deep in the cave is a crystal world. Almost every rock wall here is made of crystal, which not only reflects one's own face, but also reflects the colorful light of the magic crystal ore.

Since this is a crystal stone chamber, the bodies of Lingyi and Silver Dragon are reflected everywhere, making people feel like they are in a mirror world. It is difficult to tell the direction, and even staring at the crystal wall to judge the structure of the stone chamber makes people dizzy.

However, the general shape is probably an equilateral polygonal structure, approximately a hexagon, heptagon, or more.

Looking forward along the crystal chamber, the first thing that came into view was six colorful crystal stone pillars. The stone pillars were very thin, with bright colorful colors. The colors inside seemed to be rolling back and forth as if they had life. They should also be some kind of magic crystal ore. However, from a distance, the six stone pillars might be more like some kind of cage.

In the center of the six stone pillars is an extremely thick crystal stone pillar. The overall diameter of the stone pillar is about fifty to sixty centimeters. The external texture is completely different from the six slender stone pillars. It has an irregular texture with potholes. Rather than being a finely polished stone pillar, it is more like an old and thick tree trunk, a crystal tree trunk.

And in the center of the crystal trunk, a young girl was sleeping quietly. The girl was petite, and looked about the same age as Pegasus. Her long, rich blue hair was naturally scattered as if immersed in the sea water. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, her head was slightly nodded, and her legs were naturally hanging, quietly suspended in the crystal trunk.

But when you look closely, you will find something different about her. First, there are some strange patterns on the corners of the girl's mouth that extend all the way to her jawline, completely wrapping the jawline on both sides, like the protective gear of ancient armor. The patterns look like fish scales, crisscrossing yet orderly, and the neatly arranged fish scales wrap around the girl's jawline.

Furthermore, the girl's ears extend outwards, similar to Shera's elf ears, but the style is different. Like Shera, she has pointed ears, but the base of the pointed ears is blue, and gradually turns pink as it extends to the tip of the ear.

Moreover, the pair of ears actually has a pair of secondary ears, which are located just below the pointed ears and connected to the ear roots. There is a crystal white fan-shaped structure in the middle. It looks sharp and solid, yet crystal clear, like some kind of tiny thin sheet.

Next are her legs. Although her legs are hanging down naturally, what is puzzling is that there is a crescent-shaped body at the end.

It looks extremely sharp, but in fact the texture is just smooth and a bit fleshy.

However, putting all these details together, Lingyi couldn't remember what species this was for a moment. The only thing he could confirm was that it was not a human.

But when Lingyi reviewed the many details again, a figure gradually emerged in his mind. It was an underwater elf swimming in the water, a sad and beautiful princess in fairy tales, and also a charming monster in Norse mythology.

"Huh, I can finally open my eyes." Silver Dragon said slowly. The crystal-filled world in front of him made Silver Dragon's eyes light up. He looked around curiously, "Wow, Xiaoyi! Xiaoyi, are you awake? The surroundings are so beautiful!"

"Wake up, wake up. It's a good thing you can see it now. Can you get closer to the crystal pillar in the middle? I want to confirm something." Lingyi knelt on one knee on Long Er's forehead and gently stroked the silver dragon's head.

"Okay." Without saying a word, the silver dragon carried Lingyi around the crystal chamber, then gradually approached the crystal tree trunk in the center and stopped at one of the small colorful crystal pillars.

Lingyi's eyes grew bigger and bigger as he looked at it. It was as if his incredible thought had come true at this moment. He exclaimed: "This is a mermaid. It's actually a mermaid!"

Where do the legs of the girl in front of me come from? The girl's lower body is connected to the crescent-shaped object at the bottom, but from the rugged surface of the crystal trunk, it looks like a pair of legs.

The girl's lower body is dark blue, which gradually changes to dark blue from the waist. The gradient area is very small, only in a small area from the belly button to the hips.

From the hips down, there is a smooth body with a perfectly streamlined shape like a dolphin's tail.

Yes, in front of Zero One, the owner of the book sealed in the crystal trunk was actually a young mermaid.

"Is this a fish-like sub-human? The same as Xiaojiu, Doudou and Baobao?" Silver Dragon asked doubtfully.

"It shouldn't be that simple." There was still a hint of shock in Lingyi's words, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

The book slowly floated to Lingyi's side and said, "Yes, my master is not a subhuman, but like the orphans of the dragon race, he has become an independent race, the mermaids."

"Mermaids? Is there really such a race?" Lingyi asked in surprise.

"Of course there is. This world must be much bigger than you think." The book smiled and slowly looked up at the girl, but there was a hint of sadness and resentment in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that there was a mermaid sealed in the holy land. What is going on and why did she appear here?" Lingyi asked hurriedly.

"All of this started from the war after the death of Emperor Andressa." Book leaned his hands back and told the story.

"That year, the late Emperor of Andressa, Feiyu, suddenly passed away. The whole country was in mourning and panic because the late Emperor Feiyu particularly emphasized the governing philosophy of "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it" and paid special attention to the livelihood of the people in Andressa. He was a well-known wise ruler at that time."

"But the people were afraid because of this. Emperor Feiyu had always been in good health and had never suffered from any serious illness. When the previous emperor Feiyu suddenly passed away, the people were afraid that the new emperor would abandon his preferential treatment of the people, and even repeatedly demanded a thorough investigation of the cause of death of the previous emperor Feiyu. But this matter was also quite bizarre, especially after the previous emperor passed away, the previous emperor's brother Feirong suddenly announced his ascension to the throne and became the new emperor of Andressa."

"Fei Rong's governing ideas were completely different from those of the late Emperor Fei Yu, and even ran counter to them. He strengthened military service, enslaved the people, and abolished all the preferential policies set by the late Emperor. For a time, people were in a panic, and even uprisings broke out in many places. Unfortunately, they were all suppressed by the pro-new emperor faction at the time."

"The new emperor loves war. He launched an aggressive war against the surrounding small countries only seven days after he came to power. The Tiger Army he personally built and trained was extremely powerful. It was invincible on the battlefield and won every battle. Because of such a brave army, the new emperor named himself the War Emperor. He annexed the surrounding small countries step by step, and began to plan a war against the other three empires in an attempt to unify the continent."

"However, the greater the territorial expansion, the less the new emperor will control it, and the people in the existing territories are even more miserable. Even Feiren, who fled the government and changed his name at that time, the current Emperor Andressa, was assassinated. If it weren't for Lord Lingyue's foresight, I'm afraid he would have already become the fallen soul of the new emperor Feirong."

"After that, Emperor Feiren saw through his uncle's true colors and began to rise up. However, the first battle he faced was against the encirclement of the Tiger Army, the strongest army in the kingdom at that time. The rebels were defeated and could only retreat to the southeast corner, to the Andesaro Mountains. However, they met Lord Lingyue in a village at the foot of the mountain."

"Afterwards, Emperor Feiren formed a bond with Lord Ling Yue, and Lord Ling Yue came out of seclusion. Under her leadership, they broke through the encirclement of the invincible Tiger Army and successfully sounded the clarion call for a counterattack."

"In that battle, besides Lord Lingyue, the biggest variable was my Lord."

"My Lord's encounter with Master Ling Yue was full of surprises. At that time, a fisherman went out to sea to fish and happened to catch my Lord. Because his human body and fish tail were different from those of ordinary people, no one dared to touch my Lord until Master Ling Yue came."

"My master was seriously injured, mentally exhausted, and spent his days in a coma. It was not until he met Master Lingyue that things started to improve. With Master Lingyue's care, my master was finally able to move normally, but he lost all his memories."

"The mermaids live in the deep sea far away from humans. They are generally very afraid of humans, let alone entering human territory. But at that time, my master somehow entered human territory by mistake, and was seriously injured. He even forgot his own name."

"But she knew Lord Lingyue's kindness to her, and to express her gratitude, she followed Lord Lingyue. My lord is a mermaid, and the mermaids are most proud of their powerful healing ability. They can cure any difficult and complicated diseases, and can even regenerate broken limbs. At that time, she was even called the "Saint" by the rebels."

"After that, the rebels did not suffer any casualties. They broke through the encirclement of the Tiger Army with an absolute advantage, marched straight into the capital, and finally overthrew the tyranny of the new Emperor Feirong."

Having said this, Book's eyes suddenly looked down at the ground with a lonely look.

Lingyi listened with great interest, but looking at the girl in the crystal tree roots, Lingyi asked in confusion: "Since it has been overthrown, why is the "Saint" imprisoned here?"

"This is also related to the violent magic power in my body." The book sighed, "Although the tyranny has been overthrown, my master is like a different person. The violent magic power contained in his body has plunged the Andressa Kingdom into doomsday."

"In the south, there were raging waves, more than a thousand feet high; in the east, there were violent storms, continuous and endless; in the north, there were piles of white snow, ice covering a thousand miles; in the west, there were tornadoes, and yellow sand filled the sky."

"And all of this was caused by the violent magic power in my body. In order to calm the violent magic power in my body, Master Ling Yue sacrificed his cultivation and finally created a small alien space and sealed my master in it. This is how the people were saved from suffering."

"And this different space is the holy land of Andressa. My Lord was sealed here because the violent magic power in his body has not been suppressed. Instead, it will become stronger over time. I have no choice but to seal my Lord in the holy land to accept the cleansing and suppression of the huge magic power of the holy land."

Lingyi felt very sorry after hearing this. He never thought that the girl who was revered as a "saint" would become the "disaster" that changed the world. Lingyi looked at the girl in the crystal tree trunk. There was no trace of evil on her pure and flawless face. She looked like a simple and kind girl next door. She really couldn't be associated with the word "disaster".
