<h4>Chapter 755: The Song of Mermaids</h4>


    Harex, the emperor of the Kuo-toans, was known as the Master of the Boundless Ocean who had seven legendary sea generals under hismand. However, the explored part of the Boundless Ocean was already twice the size of the continent, not to mention the waters that seemed to be forever enshrouded in the mist. How could such a spacious “territory” be governed by only eight legends?


    Of course, without external foes, one top legend was enough to control the Boundless Ocean. However, the sea elves backed by the Elvish Court, the Congress of Magic that controlled many inds, the South Church that had raised several agents in the south side of the ocean, the Moonlight forces that were very close to the Dark Congress, and the Gipps murlocs who were as tough as stones forced Harex to take actions prudently. The Elvish Court, which had burst into direct conflicts with him, had attracted most of his forces.


    Under such circumstances, at least one-third of the Boundless Ocean that did not have a ruler was in the chaotic state, and it was impossible for the sorcerers to explore such a vast ocean without leaving out any detail. Therefore, the legendary sorcerers of the Congress of Magic were not certain about the number of legendary creatures in the Boundless Ocean. After all, some of the sea creatures lived at the bottom of the ocean thousands of meters deep and would only emerge once every few hundred years. It was absolutely normal that they were not known by the outsiders.


    Therefore, when they heard the mermaid’s song that could make one lose their sanity and soul, Lucien and Natasha’s first reaction was to wonder whether she was the “Mermaid Princess” under themand of the Master of the Boundless Ocean, or if she was another legendary mermaid.


    “Whoever she is, now that we have run into her, let’s go over and ask her the way. I wonder if she knows anything about the Blue Gate since she lives deep inside the Boundless Ocean.” Lucien held back his confusion and put on a gentle smile again.


    Natasha nodded her head and suddenlyplimented, “Everybody says that the mermaid’s song is the best music in the world and too beautiful for any intelligent creatures to appreciate. Once they hear it, their souls will be lost in the song, and they cannot pay attention to anything else until they die. I have always been suspicious about the theory, but after I heard it with my own ears today, I finally realized that it is even better than rumors. If we hadn’t already be legends, our souls would’ve beenpletely lost just now.”


    Thanks to the protection of “Mental Barrier” and “Space Staff”, the pleasant and soul-prating song could not enter her ears anymore. That was why she could remember the shock she sensed just now clearly.


    Listening carefully, Lucien chuckled in the telepathic bond. “This is a legendary mermaid after all. Hehe. I tried to restore her song with my music knowledge, but without the assistance of magic and spiritual power, it is impossible to achieve such an effect, just as it is impossible to y the melodies that have magic effects with amon piano. Also, without learning her specialties, it will be barely possible to mimic her even if I use spiritual power and magic.”


    Lucien had a level-three legendary soul, and he was faced with a mermaid who must have just be a legend. Therefore, he did not need to resist the song with additional spells and could keep on “appreciating it”.


    All the sorcerers whose souls were not lost after they saw mermaids had been trying to construct illusion spells by duplicating their songs. However, for all kinds of reasons, their final products were not nearly as wondrous and astounding as the songs. So, none of them had the courage to name their illusion “Mermaid’s Song”.


    “If anybody in this world can mimic the song of mermaids, it would be you, abination of a grand arcanist and a great musician. I remember that the spells that certain sorcerers constructed by duplication were too far away from the authentic version because they did not understand music very well,” said Natasha half-jokingly. “After that, you can write a piece of music that does not contain the magic effect ording to the spell you create so that everybody else will get to enjoy the wonder of mermaid songs. Well, I’ve already thought of a name for you. It will be Twelve Movements of Requiem.”


    While the two of them talked andughed, Lucien’s reconnaissance spell had already given a result. It was a cluster of reefs over there. A mermaid whose blue hair reached her waist was floating on the surface of the ocean and singing aloud against the reefs, surrounded by other mermaids who were joining her and the sea creatures who had lost their sanity and souls, including enormous octopi, weird sharks that were dozens of meters long, and monsters with human heads and crab bodies...


    “There are no dangers except for the mermaid. We can approach her directly.” Although Lucien believed that he was strong enough to crush the legendary mermaid, he still activated the reconnaissance spells ording to the habits of sorcerers in case he fell into any trap.


    “Great. I’m told that mermaids are all very beautiful. They seem to be made of the purest water, and they carry unimaginable, astounding beauty...” Natasha’s silver eyes were sparkling with curiosity and expectations.


    Lucien shook his head with a smile. By logic, it should have been him who was more curious about the “mermaid princess”.


    The two of them flew as fast as two streaks of light in the sky. Very soon, they arrived above the reefs and saw the legendary mermaid whose upper half body was a human being and whose lower half body was a fish tail.


    Her scales were as shiny as gold, unlike other mermaids, but they also gave the feeling of being transparent, exuding a dreamy vibe under the sunlight.


    The upper half body of the legendary mermaid was naked, and her skin was as fair as milk. Her blue long hair dangled and covered her rising bosoms perfectly. Her face was delicate, innocent, and full of charm. Her water and blue eyes were as soul-attracting as her song.


    “Ha. She’s even prettier than rumors have it.” Natasha smiled like a gentleman, but the Sword of Truth in her hands did not shake at all, and she couldunch an attack at any moment. Inside her silver eyes, there was nothing but attention and caution now that her curiosity had been satisfied.


    The mermaid had sensed them when the two of them approached. She waved her gold tail and pped the surface of the ocean, raising a tsunami that could have destroyed the ocean. However, at this moment, she saw that the environment around Lucien changed. The blue sky suddenly turned dark, as if the night had arrived early, and the ocean was enshrouded in the infinite darkness. In the middle of the darkness, gold, silver, white, and other colorful stars were glittering. Among those stars, there were the most terrifying fireballs that were emanating unimaginable heat like the sun.


    Her captivating blue eyes constricted abruptly. She stopped pping her tail and singing the song and asked in a gentle and clear voice, “Are you here for me, my dear guests?”


    She used the peculiar tongue of mermaids first, but she soon switched to themon tongue of the sea ns. However, for the knowledgeable Lucien, both were thenguages that he was quite fluent with. Although Natasha did not have a deep understanding of arcana,nguage study was apulsory course for any nobles, and Lucien had “taught” her a lot, so she was able to understand it too.


    “We’re wondering if you are one of the seven sea generals under the Master of the Boundless Ocean, mydy.” Lucien nodded in satisfaction. Although he had a lot of battle experience, he disliked meaningless battle and ughter. That’s why he demonstrated his strength just now so that the legendary mermaid could see the gap and make a sensible choice. Deterrence was sometimes more useful than fighting.


    The mermaid replied with a pleasant voice, “Yes. I am Doris. Can I help you?”


    Doris was the name of the Mermaid Princess.


    Seeing that the Mermaid Princess was highly wary but too scared to attack, Lucien smiled and said, “Mydy, I would like to know if there is anything about the Blue Gate that you can tell us.”


    “How did you...” Doris was so surprised that she blurted out her question, but she immediately stopped it, as if her secret had just been seen through.


    Natasha and Lucien looked at each other. It couldn’t be so coincidental, could it?
