Chapter 188 Underwater City

"Well, there's a ceiling I've never seen before."

Covering his head, Roger slowly sat up and looked around at the unfamiliar environment.

This is a very strange room, and the whole room should be roughly conical. There are no windows in the narrow room, but the light blue crystal stones embedded in the "walls" and "roof" provide sufficient light for the small room, although the light belongs to a somewhat strange light blue color.

The "bed" under Roger was made of some kind of white reef, with a thick layer of sea animal skin on it. It had a slightly cool touch but had a pretty good warmth. At least Roger, who was seriously injured, did not feel any chill.

The "quilt" on his body is also made of similar sea beast skin, but the texture of the sea beast skin used as a "quilt" is softer than the ones that are laid on the bed, making Roger, who is wearing this "quilt", almost feels less weight.

The injured head, left hand and waist were bandaged with similar sea animal skins. In addition, Roger only had a pair of close-fitting shorts left on his body, but Roger didn't notice this at all. His eyes were all betting on the "floor" of the room, and the water level was close to the edge of the "bed".

"This smell... is sea water?" Although he did not touch the clear water directly, Roger still smelled the unique sea smell of sea water with his good sense of smell, which made Roger's face suddenly become strange.

Could I be captured by the sea elves?

After a bitter smile, Roger tried to touch the liquid that smelled like sea water. A burst of pain suddenly came from the wound on his body, making Roger unable to help but let out a muffled groan.

It's a bit funny. Since he had the ability to transform into the Four Sacred Beasts, Roger has been in a coma every time he transformed, and he suffered a lot of injuries every time. When he transformed into Suzaku for the first time, he recovered from his injuries because of Suzaku's ability. Otherwise, Roger would have been lying in the bed for a long time.

"Gululu..."

While Roger was checking his injuries, a sound of rock sliding came. A foot of the cottage, a seemingly decorated circular pattern half in the water, slowly slid open. A figure swam in slowly, and immediately noticed Roger, who had already sat up and was lowering his head.

"You are awake. The secret medicine of the third elder is really effective." A soft voice sounded slowly.

"It's Sakura, here is... eh?"

Although it was a little subtle difference, Roger still heard that this was Sakura Ji's voice. He could barely hold back the pain on his body and slowly raised his head and asked Sakura Ji. However, Roger had only said halfway through this, and he stopped because of the "Sakura Ji" that had caught his eyes.

Whether it is from the shape of the face and the sound, Roger can be sure that it should be Sakura. But the "Sakura" who is in his eyes at this moment, his long hair is not the original black, but has turned into a bright golden color. The original black eyes have also turned into clear sea blue, exuding a mysterious temperament.

The blonde "Sakura" did not hold a round mirror in his hand, and he was not wearing those kimonos that looked gorgeous and complicated at first glance. To be precise, the "Sakura" who was empty-handed now didn't even have a piece of clothing at all, and just covered up important parts of his body with his long hair.

But this is not the main reason that shocked Roger. Although "Sakura Hime" looks really surprised him now, Roger's attention has been completely attracted by the part of "Sakura Hime" in the water.

That's a fish tail.

A long, beautiful fish tail with bright golden scales is slowly swinging in the water, supporting "Sakura"'s body to the surface.

"Cough, cough cough. Are you actually from the mermaid clan?" Roger's chin was about to fall off in surprise. He subconsciously pointed at "Sakura Ji" and asked, but at this time Roger noticed "Sakura Ji"'s "dressing" and couldn't help but turn his head quickly.

This panic action touched the wound on his body, causing Roger to let out another muffled groan, and the white sea beast skin on the left side of his waist immediately oozed out of blood.

"Don't move your body. The injury is very serious." I felt Roger's look, "Sakura Ji"'s face quickly turned red. However, when Roger made a muffled groan, "Sakura Ji" who was shocked hurriedly came to the edge of the "bed", and quickly pressed a circular pattern on her chest with his right hand, and several bottles of potions appeared in her right hand. Then "Sakura Ji" planned to hold Roger down and change the dressings for Roger.

Roger saw those potions very clearly. They were all good medicines produced by Jade City.

"Wait for this, I'll do it myself. Also. Can you put on your clothes first?" Seeing Sakura's long hair floating while she was swimming, her eyes were filled with spring light, and Roger's nose bleeding was about to spurt out, and she hurriedly blocked her.

"Don't move around, the injuries on your left hand and back are not something you can handle. Say, don't move around." The hand was blocked several times, and the somewhat embarrassed "Sakura" finally sang magic directly. The sea water next to the "bed" instantly surged, turning into a series of ice chains, binding Roger tightly.

With a red face, he changed the medicine for Roger. Then "Sakura" hid at the round hole with his hands crossed his chest, and then untied the binding magic on Roger.

Looking at the "Sakura Ji" who was blushing and blushing, Roger couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and then he changed the topic: "Well, let's talk about where this place is first."

He lowered his head and played with his hair, "Sakura" said slowly: "I guess you have guessed it too. That's right, this is the underwater city of Milien, which is the territory of the mermaid clan."

"As for me, well, I am the heir to the Baihai clan of the Mermaid clan, the seventeenth heir to the mermaid queen. The name of the Mermaid clan is Palas Baihai. During this period in Milien City, don't call me the wrong name, otherwise we will have trouble."

"In addition, because it is at the bottom of the sea, the mermaid clan is like the Naga Sea Elf. In fact, they don't wear clothes. They only wear armor to keep the cold when they go ashore. So during this period in Milien City, we all have to dress up like this." As he said this, Sakura's face was red and bloody.

It's a pity that Sakura has been dressed like this for the first time since she was a child.

"I said, is there no other way?" Roger said with a bitter face. To be honest, Sakura's appearance is indeed very pleasing to the eye, but Roger doesn't want to cause Luna's misunderstanding.

"If you are worried about Lord Luna's thoughts, don't worry about this. I have communicated with her." As if seeing Roger's thoughts, Sakura said with some dissatisfaction.

"Ha?" Roger was really scared now.

"You were in a coma at that time. I was going to help you untie the clothes you had so that you could apply medicine for you, but you suddenly opened your eyes." Sakura raised an eyebrow at Roger, "The voice of Lord Luna actually made from your mouth, which really scared me."

Roger suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth. Due to the connection between souls, Luna could temporarily control his body when he lost consciousness, and the same was true for the other way around. But Roger's injuries were probably very serious at that time, even Luna, who was the favored by the Moon Goddess, might not be able to completely heal his injuries.

"Because the injuries on your left hand and back are not something you can handle, so Lord Luna has already entrusted you to me." As he said this, a very obvious gloating appeared on Sakura's face: "In addition, because you have suffered such serious injuries again, Lord Luna is very angry, and the consequences are very serious. Lord Luna said, "When you go back, go and kneel on the laundry board by yourself."

Just kneeling on the laundry board? Roger suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The kind that has to be determined." Sakura added in an understatement, which immediately made Roger's face froze.

Time, time is to be determined...

Roger immediately swallowed, his face turned very ugly. The pain in the matter of kneeling on the laundry board is really only understood by those who have knelt on their knees.

"After that being a mermaid tribe, how could you become a member of Yingzhou?" Subconsciously, Roger changed the subject.

However, his topic seemed to arouse Sakura's sadness. Sakura, who was originally blushing on her face, quickly lowered her head.

"You should know the tradition of the mermaid clan, right?" Sakura said slowly, but did not mean to listen to Roger's answer, but continued to speak on her own.

"The mermaid tribe has more women and fewer men, but it pursues monogamy, so many female mermaids often go to the sea to seduce some humans because they cannot find a spouse."

"Of course, as a royal family, my mother certainly couldn't do such a thing. She was separated from her guards in a battle and was eventually rescued by my father's passing fleet."

Speaking of this, there was a smile on Sakura's face. Obviously, the passage of her parents when they first met was probably a very interesting story.

"At that time, my mother was rescued by my father as a human being. Although the soldiers had doubts about her mother's origin, they still allowed her father to do their best to save her. It was during that time that many things happened that my mother fell in love with her father, and finally got together and gave birth to me."

"I was born in a human form, so no one knew that I had mermaid blood except the great mother god. In this way, our family had a pretty happy time."

"However, a happy life is always short." Sakura sighed, and a deep hatred suddenly appeared in her eyes. The heavy resentment shocked Roger.

"When I was ten years old, my mother was the secret of the mermaid clan. For some reason, she finally leaked the news, which attracted the attention of the daimyo who was approaching at that time." Sakura slowly hugged her body and sank herself in the water.

"There is a legend in Yingzhou that it is said that as long as you eat the meat of a mermaid, you can live forever..." Hearing this sentence, Roger's face turned dark, and he also became a little clear about the subsequent development.

"The more high a person is, the more afraid he is to die. He believed the legendary daimyo and finally attacked my hometown with a ridiculous reason."

"My father chose to resist with all the troops he could gather in the territory, and finally fell under the sword of Daming. In order to protect me, my mother finally fell into the hands of Daming and was eaten alive by that bastard..."

After saying this, the tears that had been rolling in Sakura's eyes finally flowed down. However, Sakura bit her lips tightly and never cried.

"The so-called immortality is actually a curse, right?" Roger said lightly, but anger ignited in his eyes. "Later, in order to cover up the facts, that daimyo directly massacred your family territory, and in the end it was even more fire, burning everything, right."

"The daimyo that destroyed your family is the current Tokugawa family, right?" Roger looked at Sakura and said word by word.

"Help me, I beg you..." Sakura rushed over, "Under the desperate cover of Sayuri and the others, I successfully escaped, but my brother died..."

"The Goddess of Water is in the name of Oda Sakura Paras Baihai. I swear that as long as you can help me revenge, I will be yours." Sakura stared at Roger tightly, her eyes full of begging. To be continued.
