Chapter 84: Tentacles falling from the sky

Probably because he has been eating "takeaway" since he came to this world, Huaxi didn't expect the teacher to even have this craft.
After a little astonishment, he immediately ran back excitedly to wash his hands, and then rushed into the kitchen to help the kitchen.
Lin Tuo originally intended to prepare food for tomorrow's sacrifice, but thinking that it was all here, he bought more.
"Occasionally, it's good to have homemade meals."
After working for more than an hour, a seafood meal came out, one big and one small, and the two moved the table and ate it in the small courtyard. It was not interesting.
Of course Lin Tuo's craftsmanship is not as good as that of outside chefs, but for some reason, Huaxi was very happy to eat. After eating, he took on the job of washing dishes.
Lin Tuo didn't stop him, smiled and agreed, and then put the ingredients he reserved in the refrigerator from the kitchen.
After finishing this, he returned to the study room slowly to continue reading magic books.
...
...
No words that night.
The next day, the sandbox time was about ten in the morning.
Lin Tuo's figure landed from the sky again and came to the island.
He thought it was early for him to come, but he didn't realize it. Those sea races were already waiting.
"My lord human wizard, you are here!"
On the island, when Peia saw Lin Tuo's figure descend, he immediately jumped up from the rock, surprised.
Behind her, they followed the team yesterday.
"When we came, we didn't see you, and thought... I thought..."
"Think I left?" Lin Tuo put on his cloak and smiled.
"..." Peya blushed.
Lin Tuo smiled and said: "Okay, let you wait a long time, let's go now, yes, you can bring these books together as a sacrifice. Just treat them as my gifts."
"Huh?" A group of Krakens were surprised and delighted, and quickly thanked Peya as the captain, obviously more reserved.
He ordered his subordinates to carry it, while wagging his tail, pointed to a platform on the sea surface made of water elements, and said, "Please, this is the ship we prepared."
Lin Tuo was curious. He had thought that he would have to fly over by switching his body all the way, but he didn't expect to have this kind of experience.
The entire platform is similar to a squashed water bubble, rippling colorful in the sun.
When stepped on, there were two sea races pushing behind, and the rest of the sea races scattered around to escort, while Peya sank half of her body underwater.
As he walked, he talked endlessly to introduce Lin Tuo the details of the "Beggar Festival".
"...The begging festival started at noon and was held by the queen herself. Last night, the entire ethnic group was busy all night, preparing sacrifices and building altars..."
"From here further forward, at our speed, um, according to human time, about half an hour, you can reach..."
"Wow..."
The sea breeze was blowing, Lin Tuo was shrouded in a black cloak, his hat hung softly behind his head, listening to Peia's grunting introduction, with a smile on his face, he became more and more curious about today's ceremony.
...
...
About an hour later.
When a group of people entered a certain calm sea area, Lin Tuo was surprised to see a magnificent altar floating on the sea.
Yes, the floating altar!
It is actually made of cold ice, showing a regular round shape, imprinted with patterns that conform to the aesthetics of the sea people, and there are ice sculptures, some shaped like animals, some similar to flowers and plants.
It just floats peacefully on the sea, through the sea, you can vaguely see a rope, which is tied to the nearby reef to prevent drifting.
Densely dense sea people, swimming in it.
Above the floating ice altar, there are more than a thousand costumed sea people busy, placing one after another strange objects in the center of the altar.
Seen from a distance, there is noisy and lively.
"That's it here, that's the altar we made overnight." Peya proudly stood up the two shells on his chest and said.
"Very...beautiful." On the sea, Lin Tuo couldn't help but admire the hustle and bustle ahead.
While on the road, he learned that the sea clan with the ability of water element can easily make ice, but, unexpectedly, it can achieve such a level of precision.
In the admiration, the group of people kept approaching, which also attracted the attention of countless sea monsters on the altar.
"Wow! It's Peya and the others!"
"The one wearing the clothes is the human being she mentioned?"
"Can he really talk to us?"
Sea monsters started talking curiously one after another, none of them were against others.
"Dear human wizard, I am the Queen of the Seas, Siren, and welcome your visit."
Just as Lin Tuo stepped on the ice floe altar, he heard a calm and soft voice, the sea clan scattered one after another, and a sea clan wearing a strange and colorful fabric swam over with a smile.
She is bigger than the rest of the Sea Clan, and her appearance is more beautiful. She has a crown woven on her head. At this moment, she is looking over with a pair of curious and gentle eyes.
"It's also my honor." Lin Tuo smiled.
Hearing that he could really talk to herself, Queen Siren's eyes were clearly brighter, she smiled: "It seems that Peya did not lie to me, you really understand our language."
Lin Tuo smiled without explaining.
Queen Siren seemed to know a certain amount of human etiquette, and did not ask, but just pulled Lin Tuo to talk at will.
The latter didn't care, anyway, these sea people didn't know much about the North and South Continents. What he said was all right.
Combining his previous experience when searching for books in the Northern Continent, plus some imagination, Lin Tuo vividly introduced the customs of the Lower Continent.
Soon, when the sun rose to the center of the sky, the entire huge altar suddenly fell into calm.
"Peya, you take the guests over there." Queen Siren looked up at the sky and ordered Peya, and immediately smiled apologetically to Lin Tuo, "The ceremony is about to begin."
"Please." Lin Tuo smiled, and then followed Peya to the edge of the altar. Here, there are also a large number of sea races gathered, some of them are on the ice, some of them dive into the seabed.
Not all sea people can participate in the begging festival, especially the outing teams like Peya, who mainly maintain law and order and sit in the audience.
"it has started!"
With a low cry from someone unknown, Lin Tuo heard a strange sound of music.
That is the music of the sea people.
It came from inside the altar, played by the musicians in a circle.
As life in the sea, their musical instruments are so varied, and with the sound of the music fluttering, on the altar, costumed dancers danced at the same time.
And expand the singing voice, sing in a strange tone.
The tune is melodious, like ocean waves.
"Is this their art?" In the audience, Lin Tuo closed his eyes slightly, listening to the music that echoed in his ears, while in the center of the altar, Queen Siren and several leaders of the sea clan danced in a unique dance.
In the sound of music, colorful bubbles rose up and floated towards the sky.
For a moment, Lin Tuo was a little surprised.
This is really an extremely beautiful sight.
At the same time, Peya and other Sea Clan next to him were also almost at the same time, clenching their hands together, put them on their chests, closed their eyes, and slightly raised their heads, as if they were feeling something.
After a few minutes, the sound of the music gradually dropped until it disappeared.
The dancing Hai clan also stopped dancing.
In the auditorium, countless sea people opened their eyes, looking at the empty sky, slowly, showing disappointment.
"What's the matter?" Lin Tuo looked strangely at Peya next to him. Immediately, he saw the team leader's ears drooping, and he barely pulled out a smile. "It seems that the eyes of the gods have gone. ."
"...You mean, the sacrifice has been completed?" Lin Tuo's expression became very exciting.
"Yes," in the silence, Queen Siren at the center of the altar gave a wry smile, and slowly swam over, her face full of loss, "I thought it would be different this time, but unfortunately, the gods still did not respond to us. "
"..." Lin Tuo opened his mouth, somehow he didn't know what to say. He thought it was the opening dance of the sacrificial ceremony, but when he thought of it, this was gone...
Compared with the lengthy and complicated sacrificial ceremonies of human beings, these sea races...really...short.
It was so short that Lin Tuo hadn't even reacted yet, so he should start feeding.
What's next?
Just leave like this?
Are the ingredients prepared for nothing?
Lin Tuo was silent for a while, thought about it, and said to Queen Siren: "Perhaps, it's just because there is a small problem with your sacrifice method."
"Oh?" Siren was stunned, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Tuo organized the language in his heart and said slowly:
"In our human kingdom, there are legends similar to yours, as well as related sacrificial ceremonies.
It just so happened that I stumbled across an ancient book during an expedition not long ago, and there was a spell on it... If his eyes have indeed not left, maybe you can try it. "
Spell?
Upon hearing these words, the Sea Clan Queen was startled, and immediately became serious.
After all, in their legends, the gods have talked with humans many times, and the recent manifestation seems to be related to the human continent.
Especially, the wizard in front of him can come to the depths of the storm sea alone, presumably, even in the human kingdom, he is also a very powerful figure.
Naturally, the sea queen dare not ignore it, but... a spell... is it really possible?
"Of course, I'm not sure if it's real and effective..."
"What is it?" The Sea Queen finally asked.
Hearing this, Lin Tuo showed an insignificant, slightly mischievous smile, walked a few steps closer, approached the Siren, and pronounced the "mantra".
"That's it," he said.
Queen Siren stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with confusion.
That's it?
A very weird "spell" without any magic fluctuations?
As the strongest in the clan, Queen Siren has a keen intuition for magic and transcendent realms. This is also the talent of the sea clan, which can even help her predict the dangers to a large extent.
But no matter how she chewed, she couldn't perceive any power in this spell.
"Want to try?" Lin Tuo asked with a smile.
"……it is good."
After hesitating for a while, probably due to the kindness of the guests, Queen Siren finally nodded reluctantly, and then returned to the center of the altar amidst the doubts of countless sea races, and talked with the rest of the sea monsters.
About a minute later.
The sound of calm music like waves resurfaced again. Soon, Lin Tuo only listened to Queen Siren and the sacrificial sea monster in the center of the altar raising their necks at the same time, but did not sing.
Instead, his face was solemn, neatly and loudly, and he shouted the "mantra" pronounced in Chinese:
"I!"
"hungry!"
"La!"
Under the blessing of magical power, these three characters quickly swayed away and spread, spreading to the dense sea people around the altar.
Then, in their dumbfounded eyes, they continued to sway far away.
...
at the same time.
Li Shanwu Hall, in the study.
Lin Tuo's body suddenly awakened, and immediately squeezed the one with his hands and placed it on the table with the soft, slippery tentacles of the squid.
Yes, this is the food he is going to "give".
A small piece of squid tentacles cut off last night.
"You have to call when you are hungry." With a narrow smile on his face, Lin Tuo's hand slowly fell into the sand table by the induction between him and the clone.
The ocean quickly zoomed in.
...
Sandbox No. 2.
Storm sea, on a certain sea area.
When Queen Siren led the sea people's ministers around her to shout out the spell in unison, she was inexplicably ashamed for some reason.
However, before she could even think about it, she felt that the bright sky was suddenly darkened.
"Look!"
"Look!"
"what is that?!"
With a cry of exclamation, Queen Siren raised her white neck, her hair surging in the sea breeze, and in those eyes larger than humans, a section of the sky fell from the sky, with suckers attached. Huge tentacles.
"...The spell...is it working?!"
