Chapter 263: Mermaids are not only love-minded, but also executioners (13)
Seeing the abnormality, Beryl stopped crying.
He stumbled over to the bookshelf.
Among several stacked books, there was a book emitting light that attracted her over.
Her heart pounding as she pulled out the book.
I saw a gem embedded in the cover of the book, emitting light.
It was a low-grade gem used to test the strength of sound.
It seemed that the noise she made when pushing the bookshelf was so loud that the gem was activated and glowed.
Beryl suppressed her pounding heart and brushed off the dust on the books with trembling hands.
On the yellowed cowhide cover, seven faded human characters are full of the weight of the times.
For a long time, magic props were used to convert a large amount of human text into mermaid text for browsing.
Beryl can already recognize some basic human characters without the help of any tools.
So she clearly understood the words on the cover - humans and highly intelligent creatures.
At this moment, her heart seemed to skip a beat.
After looking at book covers and catalogs for a long time, she already has a rough idea of what type of book she is looking for.
This book, the book that suddenly appeared when she was emotionally broken.
It's very likely what she's looking for.
Beryl could no longer suppress her excitement and directly opened the book to find the table of contents.
In the catalog, she found a chapter titled "How Humans Can Reproduce Offspring with Intelligent Creatures Across Species."
A huge surprise enveloped her.
She didn't even think twice and rushed to the venue of the engagement ceremony with the book in her arms.
As she ran, she was afraid that it was her own imagination.
I couldn't wait to turn to that chapter on the way.
After seeing that person who needed the nourishment of essence and blood of his own kind, she suddenly stopped rushing to the engagement venue.
Although she is not a mermaid who likes to study and practice, she also knows it.
Only evil magic and evil magicians require the essence and blood of creatures that have the wisdom to use magic.
At this moment, she stood there hesitantly.
But this hesitation did not last long.
After hearing the melodious music from the engagement party venue, which was played when she and Si Frank got engaged and married.
Beryl made up her mind.
She couldn't give West Frank to another woman.
It’s just a little bit of blood from the same clan, not the lives of those same clansmen.
As a prince and princess, her position can be stabilized, and the mermaid clan can also benefit.
After all, the sea where mermaids live does not have as rich resources as human towns.
They live in the cold sea all year round and can only play with some unintelligent lower creatures most of the time.
Have they ever seen the towering palaces, the neat streets and the noisy crowds?
Have you ever worn intricate and exquisite dresses? Or expensive and dazzling jewelry?
Have you smelled the many fragrant flowers and tasted the rare and delicious delicacies?
They have nothing.
But now, as long as they provide a little essence and blood to help her give birth to the heir to the crown prince, they will be able to experience these things.
It’s just that the loss of some essence and blood has caused the cultivation to be hindered.
What's the big deal?
After all, mermaids are the longest-lived people.
With a long lifespan, there is plenty of time to continue practicing.
Thinking of this, Beryl no longer hesitated.
He rushed to the venue of the engagement party at an even faster speed, holding the book.
The wind whistled past her ears.
Beryl, feeling mixed emotions, suddenly had an idea.
Can she take this opportunity?
She asked the elders of the tribe to hand over the mermaids who had conflicts with her or whom she had envied to help her.
After all, they are all mermaids, so it doesn't matter who sheds the essence and blood.
I think the elders will not refuse to use some of the blood and essence of a few young mermaids in exchange for the prosperity and wealth of the whole family.
As Beryl's thoughts became increasingly dark, she showed up at the engagement party with a book in her arms.
At this time, Xi Frank was holding the hand of a cold-looking woman and was being congratulated by some unfamiliar faces in gorgeous clothes.
Seeing this scene, Beryl rushed over in anger.
After pushing the woman away, he slammed the book in his hand against West Frank's chest.
On the fourth hit, the books suddenly fell apart without warning.
Except for the pages that Beryl had turned to and which she was holding tightly in her hand, all the other pages fell to the ground.
A gust of wind blew, and the pages of the book on the ground flew high into the sky, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Because of this farce, the engagement party was in chaos.
Under the "puzzled" gaze of the crowd, Beryl gestured and demonstrated.
He showed the remaining pages in his hand to Si Frank.
When Sifranc saw this, he was very excited.
He took the pages and walked before the king and queen who were on the throne.
After they had seen Silence, Si Frank showed his acting skills again.
Under Beryl's tearful gaze, he expressed his deep affection in front of his parents.
In the end, the engagement party was cancelled.
The next day, the king arranged a large number of royal guards and magicians.
Even after paying a certain price, he hired several great magicians at high salaries.
The group set out from the palace and headed towards the sea where the mermaids lived.
To avoid any further complications, they sped all the way.
Gorgeous carriage.
Beryl was completely immersed in the excitement and joy of having Si Frank back by her side.
There was no doubt as to why the king was able to organize a large number of people overnight.
The group traveled day and night, and soon two-thirds of the journey had passed.
That day, Si Frank suddenly stopped the carriage.
Beryl looked at him in confusion.
Sifranc immediately gave a gentle smile.
"Beryl, you know I'm not a mermaid. I can't even use magic."
"As I am now, I followed you back to the place where you grew up, not to visit you, but to hurt your people because of our personal affairs."
"In this situation, let alone the mermaids who dominate your sea area, even if it were applied to any beast tribe without high intelligence, they would not be recognized by the tribe."
"We were already presumptuous, and now we're coming empty-handed with a large number of people. This will only make you a traitor and a sinner to our tribe."
"I love you, but you've lost so much for me. I don't want you to be disowned by your tribe next."
As Sifranc expressed his "true feelings" one by one, Beryl's eyes suddenly turned red.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say that she didn't mind being denied.
But she had no singing voice and could not speak, so she could only open her mouth and gesture randomly with her hands.
Si Frank grabbed her waving hand affectionately.
"Beryl, we need your people's help, so we can't turn back."
"But in order to prevent you from being misunderstood by your tribe, I have thought again and again and decided to take you with me to the next town to purchase specialties from human society and give them to them."
Beryl was so moved that she nodded frantically.
But don't know.
From the very first sentence, Xi Frank was paving the way for inciting her to massacre her people.
