Chapter 213 The Mermaid Takes the Hook
Listening to what E Ling said, Luo Huazhou felt a little empty in his heart for some reason?
She doesn't need him anymore. It's obviously her choice, and he should respect it instead of interfering.
But why, he didn't seem to say that in his heart...
Originally, he wanted to ask her to stay in the sea for a while longer, but then he thought, with what reason and identity did he have to make such a request to her?
For no reason, Luo Huazhou was in a bad mood and just replied to her perfunctorily with an "Oh".
At this time, a guard from the Fish Tribe came over and reported to Luo Huazhou: "Your Highness, Elder Yu is outside the palace and said he wants to see you for something."
Luo Huazhou was feeling unhappy, and Yu's coming here was like walking into a trap. He said unhappily, "Can't you see that I'm busy? The beautiful female is sick now, and it's the time when I need her careful care. What could be more important than the health of the beautiful female?!"
Luo Huazhou's dissatisfaction with Yu rose to a new level.
Why was Yu always so inconsiderate, choosing to come when he and E Ling were alone together? What a disgusting mermaid!
The fish guard looked embarrassed, "This... But Elder Yu said it was a very important matter and asked me to ask you for your instructions."
At this time, E Ling also said: "Luo Huazhou, you can go out and take a look. Didn't Yu say before that there were some problems in the place where the sea monster was suppressed? Maybe he came to you because of this problem. You can go out and take a look. I'm fine."
E Ling naturally guessed that Yu had started to take action, but he did not come to her first, but came to Luo Huazhou. Did he want to send Luo Huazhou away first?
In any case, she decided to go with the flow for now.
"Don't be so stubborn. I'll take you back to your room first."
Luo Huazhou suppressed his displeasure and sent E Ling back to the bridal chamber.
Helmei had already come over, and seeing that E Ling was protected, Luo Huazhou felt at ease to go out.
E Ling was leaning against the window, from where she could just see Luo Huazhou and Yu talking. At the beginning, their conversation was a little intense, but later it seemed to end with Luo Huazhou's compromise.
After a while, Luo Huazhou came back and said to E Ling, "E Ling, tomorrow I will go to the place where the sea monster was suppressed to preside over the ceremony of strengthening the seal. When I am not in the palace, you should not go out easily. Stay in your room and recuperate. I will send my confidants to deliver herbs and food to the door. You don't have to worry about being exposed. I have already ordered the guards to strengthen the defense. No unauthorized persons are allowed to approach your room."
E Ling and Helmer looked at each other, and the former nodded.
Mermaid, taken the bait.
On the second day, Luo Huazhou and Yu left the palace with a group of high-level fish beasts and a team of magicians with great spells, and swam straight to the place where the sea monster was suppressed.
At the beginning, it was just as Luo Huazhou had instructed. His confidant would knock on her door once at mealtime and then place today's herbs and food at her door. E Ling would usually wait for a while before going out to get them, so as to avoid running into other fish and beasts.
It was not until the evening, at dinner time, that there was another knock on the door. However, this time it was not two short, crisp knocks, but an unusually rapid series of knocks.
E Ling was startled for no reason, but still went over to open the door.
Hermione hid behind the door, ready to protect her if anything happened.
The door opened a crack, and it was discovered that it was the fish guard who delivered the message to Luo Huazhou and Yu yesterday.
The fish guard saw E Ling's bright eyes through the crack in the door, and his face flushed with nervousness. He stammered, "Beautiful, beautiful female, I, I am here to take you to the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his orders."
"Luo Huazhou? Wasn't he going to preside over the ceremony to suppress the sea monster? Why did he ask me to come over?"
The fish guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... there was a problem with the suppression ceremony, and we need your support."
E Ling frowned slightly, "Are there no other people in the sea area? Do you need me, a female, to go there?"
The fish guard's words were obviously prepared. He continued, "But you are the only beautiful female in the sea who can control spiritual power. Pure spiritual power can counteract the evil power of the sea monster. Your Highness also knows that it is too much to labor a precious female like you. But if the sea monster cannot be completely suppressed, it will bring disaster to the sea area and Your Highness will be hurt. You don't want this to happen, do you?"
Hearing this, E Ling knew that this fish guard was a spy planted by Yu in the palace.
Although Luo Huazhou knew that she possessed spiritual power, given his narcissistic personality, he couldn't let go of his pride and say such words.
Moreover, he is not a person without responsibility and sense of propriety. From the essential interests, suppressing the mermaid has nothing to do with E Ling. Why should he drag an insignificant person like her into it? Isn't he afraid of hurting her by mistake?
And all this was just an excuse made by Yu to lure her out.
E Ling said to the fish beast who delivered the message: "Well, I'll put on some clothes and go with you right away."
E Ling closed the door and turned to look at Helmer who was hiding behind the door. Helmer nodded and used his tentacles to roll up her clothes on the bed and put them on her. He whispered in her ear: "Ling'er, everything goes according to plan. You go first, and I will follow and protect you at all times."
As he said this, Helmer couldn't help but kiss her eyebrows. They all knew that there would be a tough battle to fight next.
E Ling gathered her clothes and walked out of the room, following the footsteps of the fish beast who was delivering the message.
At first, E Ling was still confused. Luo Huazhou had clearly ordered that no irrelevant orcs were allowed to approach her room, so how did this fish get in?
It was not until they left the palace that the fish beast took out a token from his waist, on which was inlaid the name and pearl unique to Luohuazhou. Only then did Eling understand.
It seems that Yu sent Luo Huazhou away not only to weaken the protection around her, but also to make it easier to take away Luo Huazhou's pass token.
Seeing the token was like seeing Luo Huazhou himself. The guards, who had no ulterior motives, naturally did not think too much about it and let the fish beast pass smoothly.
E Ling followed the fish beast out of the royal city and swam towards deeper seas.
At this moment, near the deep sea prison that suppressed the sirens, fish skin papers engraved with strange runes were floating everywhere, as if a grand ceremony had just taken place here.
Luo Huazhou and the magician who came to perform the suppression technique had already left, leaving only a few furtive figures hiding nearby, as if waiting for someone to come.
These people were not others, but Qingqing and her two partners.
After a while, the Nine-Headed Witch slowly came over on her piranha mount and landed in front of them.
Qing Qing urged impatiently: "You are finally here, hurry to the sea prison! My partner bribed a few magicians and tampered with the talisman paper that suppresses the sea monster. Now the magic circle that suppresses the sea monster seems to be strengthened, but in fact it is greatly weakened.
At that time, you will be responsible for leading E Ling to the weakest point of the magic circle, and then... push her down! Once E Ling awakens the sea monster, she will be torn to pieces by the brutal sea monster immediately!"
