It was quite easy for Caesar and the other two to complete the task assigned by the principal. In the vast ocean, except for the areas where sea creatures gathered, most places were filled with various kinds of sirens. Of course, the places where ninth-level sirens existed would be recorded, and this was the business of the Adventurer's Guild.
After receiving the mission from the Adventurer's Guild, the three of them worked together to kill three ninth-level sirens. Of course, Caesar was responsible for being the bait, and then the three of them attacked together, three against one. No matter how strong the ninth-level siren was, it could only put up a futile resistance when facing three sea masters, especially since Caesar's double punch was too fierce. This almost defense-breaking attack made the sirens suffer. Some low-level sirens would collapse their entire bodies if they got close to Caesar with one punch, which showed the horror of their internal destructive power. At this time, Caesar was somewhat like a god of war.
The time was almost up, and the poor principal's treasured scroll was wasted as a shortcut. The three of them returned to the Mermaid King City together. At the same time, the Hana no Keiji Merchant Group also set out, and they decided to turn back to the Mermaid King City.
This trip was the happiest one for Alina and Clara. Although both girls felt that it would be more perfect if the other disappeared, they were already very satisfied with this situation. In order to avoid suspicion, the three of them reported back to school separately.
When Caesar found Lao Jiao, the old man was leisurely sunbathing. When he saw Caesar, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked at Caesar carefully, and suddenly jumped up.
"Good boy, you have made progress in a few days. If this continues, we old bones will have to retire early."
"Haha, Mr. Principal, we have no objection to you leaving your belongings behind before you retire."
"Damn it, you don't know how to respect your teacher, you only care about my little money. Tell me the truth, is this trip fun?"
Lao Jiao smiled ambiguously, and it was obvious that his words had a hidden meaning.
Caesar broke out in a sweat and pretended to be confused. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
"Don't pretend. I've known you guys are weird for a long time. Young man, I support you. Nobles and commoners are all nonsense. Love should be brave and go forward!"
Obviously, Lao Jiao thought that Caesar liked Princess Clara. It was no wonder that he misunderstood. A man who liked Princess Clara would definitely like her. This was an almost irresistible charm. But he happened to meet Caesar, a green gourd. Maybe it was because Elena was the first woman he had seen in his mind, and that feeling of being moved had always been treasured, so he had a stronger resistance to other girls. There was a fine line between being moved and not being moved.
Caesar didn't explain either. The more he explained, the more trouble he would get into.
"Ahem, Mr. Principal, what is our next special training?"
"Young man, don't be impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Life is about enjoying it. Come, bask in the sun. A healthy man needs a bronze skin. You are back a little early. The others haven't come back yet."
"Haha, Principal, you should just enjoy your time. I'm going to review what I learned these days."
"Go, go, this kid is teachable!"
Caesar quickly left before Lao Jiao's speech, and it was quite painful to listen to him chanting.
Lao Jiao was lost in thought as he looked at Caesar's receding back with a serious expression. For the sake of this special student, he had made a special trip to the Temple of Poseidon during this period of time and asked the Holy Lord to tell him about his fate. As a result, he was the only one who could see the three tarot cards that predicted Caesar's fate, and he could only open the first one. The first one turned out to be the undead, endless undead, which foreshadowed an irreversible catastrophe. But what did this catastrophe have to do with him?
Even with all his years of experience, he couldn't figure it out. He could see that the character of this young man was very similar to himself when he was young, a little bit unscrupulous, and didn't care much about good and evil, but deep down he still had his own sense of right and wrong, and a strong personality. However, the Holy Lord's prophecy would never be wrong, as she was the one blessed by the God of the Sea.
If you can't figure it out, you can only put it aside for the time being. Maybe it's just a coincidence. There are many unknowns in life, and a major disaster can't just happen. The omen of the undead only appeared during the last Shenyue War. There is no way Caesar could start a war like that alone.
Lao Jiao felt a little sad when thinking about the Shenyue War. Although they tried their best to stop it, the war still broke out. The hatred between humans and sea people further intensified, especially in the hearts of the new generation. They were incompatible. In fact, some people between sea people and humans were still good friends. They shared the same ideals, but now it is no longer possible. The temple also wanted to stop it at that time, but the temple only played the role of praying. Although they had a high status, they could not interfere in the internal affairs of the sea people. In the end, the war broke out, mainly because the sea people gained the ability to survive on land for a long time, and this ability made the sea people unable to suppress their inner impulses.
Ah, war, what a terrible thing.
Maybe he is really old and Lao Jiao no longer wants to see that kind of destructive battle, but what can he do?
At this time in the Mermaid Palace, Clara was acting coquettishly beside Queen Christina. The little girl was unusually clinging to her mother as she hadn't seen her mother for a while. The queen was very distressed and was afraid that her precious daughter would melt if she held her in her mouth.
In comparison, the Sea Dragon Clan is indeed very independent, otherwise they would not have let Elena go so far away.
"Your Highness, there is a gift for you. It is said that it is sent by a gentleman named Caesar. Will you accept it?"
A little maid asked mischievously.
Caesar? Will he give her a gift? Alina felt so sweet that she quickly asked her to bring the gift in. Soon, an exquisitely crafted box was placed in front of Alina, which seemed to be a work of human beings.
At this time, outside the palace, a "young man" in a black magic robe had an evil smile on his face. If I remembered correctly, it was General Foldes, the necromancer in the Undead Navy!
"Mr. Caesar, this is just a small gift and I am honored to receive it. Hehe." He muttered to himself and walked to the corner. He turned around and disappeared without a trace in a cloud of black mist.
Elena was so happy after receiving Caesar's gift that she forgot everything. She didn't even think about why Caesar suddenly sent gifts to the palace without fear of being exposed, and Caesar himself had just returned not long ago. However, a woman in love would think that everything was normal. Normally, even if there were gifts, her servants would check them first, but she would not let others touch Caesar's things.
Alina just touched the gift box, and the exquisite gift box suddenly bounced open by itself. A pale smoke that seemed to be as alive as life rushed straight to Alina. Alina's reaction was fast enough, but she was still a little bit touched. The dragon fighting spirit was activated immediately, but the strange thing was that the white smoke seemed to like the dragon fighting spirit very much, and instead penetrated directly. Alina's face changed immediately!
Oh no, it's dragon plague!
Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing and restraining. In order to deal with the powerful dragon clan, humans have tried their best to find their weaknesses. They have strong bodies, excellent magic resistance, and armed defense. Due to their huge bodies, they are almost immune to all poisons, and dragon blood itself is a holy medicine for healing wounds and avoiding poison. Faced with such an existence, humans are still unwilling to give up, because in their hearts there is no invincible, no perfect creature, even the dragon clan is the same. Drunken Dragon Grass was the first to be discovered, but it lacks lethality. They are still constantly studying the key points around the dragon clan and the dragon clan itself.
After a long period of follow-up investigation, nothing promising was found and many alchemists gave up. However, one alchemist who was very interested in necromancy discovered something unusual on the dragon's corpse. Some time after death, the dragon would attract some creatures that were almost invisible to the naked eye. They were desperately absorbing the remaining power from the dragon's body. It was very strange that once the dragon's corpse was contaminated by such creatures, even if it was summoned by the necromancer into an undead dragon, it would be very fragile. It was just a frame and could be said to be vulnerable to a single blow.
The alchemist continued to refine and cultivate from dragon bones, and after adding some special potions, he cultivated the dragon clan's nemesis - Dragon Plague, a deadly killing move that is 100% effective against giant dragons, and is equally useful against dragons. Because the continent launched an activity to eliminate necromancers, this unfortunate alchemist was also affected and was burned to death at the stake. This secret method was lost, so that humans have not had a way to deal with the sea dragon clan during the Shenyue War. However, the appearance of the Drunken Dragon Grass has slightly saved the situation. If the dragon plague is still there, I am afraid that the sea dragon clan will not be able to return to the sea alive.
Almost instantly, Elena's body seemed to be frozen, her face turned pale and she fell to the ground. The unusual movement attracted the attention of the maid. Seeing Elena's condition, the maid was almost stunned and rushed out screaming.
Soon the entire Mermaid Palace was in chaos. His Majesty Aries, Queen Christina, Clara and a group of royal doctors all gathered in the main hall. Looking at Elena, whose face was pale and her body was cold, all of them had gloomy expressions. This was a big deal. Princess Elena was attacked in the palace. What kind of poison was so terrible?
The doctors were examining and talking to each other, their faces becoming uglier than the last. Finally, a doctor from the Taote tribe walked up to the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Alina has been infected with the dragon plague!"
Everyone was stunned at once. Everyone knew what the dragon plague meant to the dragon clan. Elena's strength would be sucked away bit by bit. Although her body could not move, she would suffer a lot mentally.
