Chapter 215: Eating Sins
Chapter 215: Eating Sins
"What?!" Prince Yu and Princess Sheng said almost in unison.
The Mermaid King looked at his two children. How could he not know that the two of them had been fighting in private? Now, for a mermaid, the two of them started fighting again.
"The person mentioned in the prophecy actually appeared thousands of years ago..."
"A thousand years ago? No, that's impossible. The prophecy says that person will bring us hope and prosperity!" Prince Yu didn't believe it at all.
Not to mention Huang Ziyu, I guess the entire mermaid tribe wouldn't believe it. They have been looking forward to the appearance of the destined person and the prosperity of the tribe.
Now tell them that this person has appeared a long time ago? If he has appeared, why are they, the mermaids, still like this?
The Mermaid King sighed. This was also the reason why the royal family kept it a secret. The people in the royal family could not accept such a cruel fact.
"Thousands of years ago, that person came to the deep sea and tried to help my tribe learn how to make potions. You also know that for us mermaids, the biggest enemy is not sea beasts, but invisible barnacles. As long as you bleed or get hurt, you will be parasitized by barnacles.
The potion made by that person can prevent barnacle parasitism, which is a great thing for our tribe. But something unexpected happened at that time, and a member of the tribe had a bloody conflict with him. Then..."
The Mermaid King felt a little uncomfortable. "Then after he killed his way out, he said he would never help any water creatures again."
"We missed that opportunity..."
So later, the tribesmen kept silent about the prophecy. As time passed, no one remembered what happened. Only the royal family remembered it and deliberately concealed it.
Because as long as the prophecy exists, the tribesmen will have expectations and hope.
"How could this be?" Gongzhu Sheng covered her face, "That's why witch doctors' medicines are so difficult and expensive now."
Looking at his little daughter, the Mermaid King sighed, "So when you complained to me before about why the witch doctor only treated the royal family but not the tribesmen, I found it difficult to speak. Because the potion is a semi-finished product, as long as the tribesmen use it, they will find out..."
Then they will feel even more resentful, wondering what happened in the first place that drove away the destined person.
"Father, does that mean there is no hope for us, the mermaid race?" Prince Yu was also the one who firmly believed in the prophecy. He was a little distraught at this moment.
"No, child. Hope is always in our hands. Even without that destined person, I believe our people can reach a higher level through our own efforts."
Huang Ziyu calmed himself down and said, "Father is right."
He took a deep breath and said, "I will call those soldiers back right away."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Princess." They all stepped into the hall.
The Mermaid King recognized this person as his son's counselor, "Qi? What are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness. I was ordered by His Royal Highness to capture the foreign mermaid. I had already succeeded, but that person's cultivation suddenly soared to the Nascent Soul stage."
"what?!"
The Mermaid King stood up. He was a mermaid in the Nascent Soul stage! You should know that in the entire clan, only the Mermaid King was in the Nascent Soul stage.
Now there is another one, and this mermaid once had conflicts with the royal family.
"Please tell me in detail."
Qi lowered his head and said, "The wind and waves were too strong at the time. I couldn't see clearly. I only remember a few flashes of lightning and then the man disappeared."
