Chapter 847: The Origin of the Siren's Kiss
"Opportunity!" Of course, the Count would not give up such an opportunity, he could already clearly sense Miranda's current predicament of being strong and middle-handed. His fingers trembled slightly, and another drop of essence blood flew in the direction of Wickoborg along the passage on his finger, only this time, the speed of the essence blood was far less rapid than before, but with each meter of advancement, the power contained in the essence blood increased by a few points, and it was obvious that the earl regarded this journey of thousands of miles as a process of accumulation.
"It's over. Miranda, you know what? When you decide to use the Siren's Kiss, your defeat is already doomed. What you and Leos have done together is just a sustenance. The Count's voice reached the ears of Miranda and the old lion before the Count's voice reached the blood.
"Siren's Kiss, how do you know......" Miranda asked in disbelief after swinging a sword and cutting away the surging blood curtain again.
"Isn't it enough to feel the law of gravity on the blood curtain?" said the Earl, smugly.
"You—what do you mean......" Miranda suddenly thought of a possibility, and became a little incoherent.
"Let me think about it, how long has it been since this happened, three thousand one hundred years, or three thousand two hundred years?" the Count pretended to think, "think about how beautiful you are when you travel across the continent. ”
"You're the employer?" asked Miranda, angry.
Back then, Miranda was also like most strong people, stuck at the peak of the twelfth level for a long time and couldn't break through. For this reason, as the princess of the Sea Clan, she did not hesitate to travel incognito on the mainland, trying to find that opportunity to break through.
During her travels around the continent, she joins a squad of mercenaries who protect her employer from an ancient ruin during an occasional treasure hunt. During that mission, they encountered a water-type beast that had reached the level of a holy beast, causing the team to be wiped out except for her and her employer.
The reason why Miranda and her employer were able to survive was because with a treasure map in the hands of her employer, before the water monsters killed them all, they found an artifact - the Kraken's Kiss, Miranda stabbed the water monsters to death with this short sword, and through the understanding between life and death, she successfully advanced to the holy realm.
What puzzled Miranda the most was that the employer at that time did not accept the Kraken Kiss that should have belonged to him anyway, but left the Kraken Kiss to Miranda on the grounds that Miranda had saved his life, and then mysteriously disappeared.
Feeling a little strange in hindsight, Miranda has tried more than once to find this mysterious employer whose true face has always been hidden behind a strange mask, but to no avail, even after she returns to the Sea Clan, and activates the Sea Clan's powerful intelligence system.
The generous employer had vanished from the continent like a human being, and no one had ever heard of such a person except her and the demobilized mercenary squad, and Miranda had buried the secret in her heart, not even the old lion had ever mentioned it.
"Don't use such an angry tone~ I always thought you were grateful to me, if I hadn't guided you to get the Kraken's Kiss, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to advance to the Sanctuary now!, in that case, how could you have a chance to get close to Leos?" The count's smug tone undoubtedly confirmed Miranda's suspicion.
"What's your plot to let me get the Kraken's Kiss?" Miranda questioned. The familiar law of gravity above the blood curtain forced her to believe the Count's words.
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood me, I really wanted to help you at the time, and I didn't expect that we would have a hostile day in the future. The count's repeated denials had a sarcastic flavor in it.
"Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?" asked Miranda with a grim expression, and the movement of the Siren's kiss began to hesitate.
After receiving the Siren's Kiss, Miranda had carefully examined the artifact more than once, and found no signs of abnormality other than the seal on it that she had not been able to fully grasp and break.
Now that the Count suddenly says that the Siren's Kiss has something to do with him, and reveals the same law of gravity as the Siren's Kiss, Miranda has every reason to believe that the Count has done something with the Siren's Kiss.
"Believe it or not, but I don't think you have completely unlocked the seal of the Siren's Kiss, do you need my help?" the Count's voice filled with a smile.
"Seals, the laws of gravity, that relic was designed by you in the first place, right?" Miranda understood something in an instant when the Count mentioned the seals and thought of the laws of gravity he used.
"I said a long time ago that you are one of the smartest and most beautiful people I have ever met. The Count couldn't help but praise again.
"What exactly are you trying to achieve by designing a ruins adventure to wipe out my mercenary team?" Miranda felt a chill run through her body.
"If I say it is to make it seem logical for you to get a Siren's kiss, are you satisfied with the answer?" the Count chuckled.
"Why do you have to let me get a Kraken's kiss?" asked Miranda. If everything about that adventure was orchestrated by the Count, then the Count's scheming was too deep and terrifying.
"Who knows, maybe it was my whim, maybe it was my subconscious premonition of what was happening, or—" The Count was interrupted by the old lion's sharp voice.
"His real purpose is the Sea Clan!" After the old lion tried his best to remind him, he was no longer able to make any sound, although the blood curtain was cut by Miranda again and again, but the pressure on the Demon Lion Ridge never lessened, but there was a tendency to intensify.
The old lion woke up the dreamer with a word. Miranda quickly put everything together and figured out why the Count did it.
At that time, it was the most intense time of the Great War of the Ten Thousand Races, and although the Blood Clan closed the Wick Fort and showed its neutrality, Draculal was always active in the shadows and did not give up the dream of dominating the continent.
Delacoural guided Miranda to get the Siren's kiss, apparently in order to show favor to Miranda, who was the princess of the Sea Clan, and was undoubtedly preparing for the future to win over the Sea Clan.
The Great War of the Ten Thousand Races swept across the entire Ariant Continent, and almost all races were involved in it, and the Sea Clan, due to its physiological characteristics that are not suitable for long-term survival on land and the reason why most races cannot survive in the sea, are unexpectedly in a state of relative safety that people do not offend me and I do not offend others.
In the face of heavy losses among all races, the Sea Clan retains the largest army and elite, and Draculal undoubtedly sees this, and is trying to pull Miranda and the Sea Clan behind her at the cost of an artifact, even if the wooing fails, even if Miranda discovers and hostile him, with his work on the Kraken's kiss, Miranda will never become an obstacle to his domination of the continent. I have to admit that Delacoural is really worthy of the name of being scheming.
