This trial has been fruitful.

Although Tide Giant did not receive a reward after defeating it, it is probably due to the trial rules that it did not really die.

However, the Fishman Body I got is really good, and my physical fitness has been doubled.

This kind of reward can usually only be obtained when killing the God Envoy or Secondary Mutation, and those Deity seem to be wary of themselves, and it is estimated that there will be no more shady God Envoys coming to their door.

According to this, Sparta, the murloc commander who deliberately seeks trouble, can be regarded as his benefactor.

Dick looked at Sparta sincerely and thanked him repeatedly.

Sparta held the handle of the trident tightly, snorted coldly, and warned heavily:

"Human, even though you have passed the test, you can still stay in Deep-Sea World as agreed. However, don't cause trouble, otherwise, the rules of Deep-Sea World cannot be violated."

He actually ignored Nazi's presence and turned around to leave. However, he still performed his duties and arranged for manpower before leaving.

He pointed at the fishman guards next to him and said, "You guys, protect Princess Nazi, do you understand?"

"Follow your orders, Commander-in-Chief."

Sparta's trident dragged long sparks on the mother-of-pearl stone surface. He deliberately paused when passing by Dick. The tip of the halberd plowed three deep marks half an inch in front of Dick's boots, and then he walked away.

Dick shrugged his shoulders indifferently:

"Nazi, this commander-in-chief seems to be very dissatisfied with me."

"Don't worry about him. He has always been so straightforward and clear about love and hate. Maybe it's because you are from land and are not fish-men. That's all. Next, I will take you back to the palace."

The murloc guards dispersed the civilian murlocs watching the show to make way for them.

"No!" Stein slapped his calf suddenly, "That one over there!"

He pointed at a fish man with eight tentacles who turned around and wanted to leave, and shouted loudly.

When the voice fell, the fish-man's body trembled suddenly.

"Octopus Ball, don't run! Have you forgotten something?"

"Dear human beings..." Octopus man Lao Ba turned his head and squeezed out a big sneer on his trumpet mouth, "Is there anything else you can do?"

"You forgot our bet! Come with me now."

"Then... okay." Lao Ba's eight tentacles almost drooped to the ground in frustration, feebly following behind Stein who was walking on short legs.

There are fishmen guards in front to lead everyone forward.

Princess Nazi looked excited, pointing to the gorgeous building on the left and said:

"Look, that gorgeous and tall building is where I lived since I was a child - Siren Imperial Palace."

Dick asked, "Nazi, why is Sacrificial Temple built on the right side? If it is built together with the palace, wouldn't the safety of the Siren royal family be more guaranteed?"

"Of course this makes sense. Originally, the palace was supposed to be built in the middle of the city, but now it is only built on the left side.

This is to express respect for the high priest Medusa who has protected Deep-Sea World for many years. She is like a patron saint in the hearts of each of us.

The ancestors originally wanted to build Sacrificial Temple in the middle, but Medusa wouldn't allow it. In the end, we had no choice but to place them on the left and right to express the equal status of the palace and Sacrificial Temple."

Dick nods

Not long after, everyone passed through the huge circular fish-man square and arrived in front of the Siren Palace.

This deep sea palace is indeed different from the human world:

Living fluorescent coral flows on the surface of the building, scales made of mother-of-pearl sway gently with the water flow, and the pillars are actually transparent crystals made of solidified water elements, with immortal luminous jellyfish swimming in them.

There were tall murloc guards guarding the front, and in front of them was a short murloc wearing a one-piece hood and a dagger hanging from his waist.

He seemed to be reprimanding the guards.

Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around, revealing a thin and dark purple fish-headed face.

Seeing Princess Nazi, his hoarse voice surged. "Nazi, you are finally back."

"Slithereen, why are you here?"

Nazi walked up to him happily, and when the two held their four hands together, Dick discovered that the palm of this fish man named Slithereen was not as big as Nazi's.

"I'm not always outside. Today, I heard the announcement from the fishman guard that you were coming back, so I rushed back from another city to see you. By the way, who are these people behind you?" As he spoke, the raised lines on his eyes that resembled eyebrows wrinkled on his forehead.

"They are all my friends. They helped me escape from the captivity of the hateful humans and brought me safely back to Deep-Sea World."

"A friend of mankind?" His purple vertical pupils stared closely at Dick's golden cat pupils, "You are Dick, right?"

I heard from my brother Sparta that you are very strong and could pass Sea God's Trial. I really want to compete with you."

Dick suddenly realized that the short fish-man in front of him was actually Sparta's younger brother.

Sparta is at least 2.5 meters tall, while the Slithereen in front of you is less than 1.5 meters tall.

There is a huge gap between these two brothers. Are they really brothers?

Nazi noticed Dick looking back and forth at Slark, and smiled softly and explained:

"He is indeed the younger brother of Sparta, named Slark. Sparta is responsible for guarding the palace and directing the affairs in the city, while he is responsible for the handover affairs between cities.

Dick, don't underestimate Slithereen, he is the one who is short and concise.

Slark walked up to Dick with short legs and raised his head majestically, without any fear:

"Dick, I know you are a demon hunter, stronger than many land creatures. If we compete now, you can beat me, do you see it?"

His lavender paws patted the money bag woven with vines around his waist.

"I will give you all the Siren coins in this purse.

Don't think this is insignificant, Siren Coin is the universal currency of Deep-Sea World. Without it, you can't go to other cities.

I heard that you are going to stay in Deep-Sea World for a while, and you don't want to be trapped in the palace or ask for property from Nazi, right?"

"Dick, don't pay attention to what Slithereen said. Although I don't have much money now, I can borrow it from my sister."

"Nazi, I appreciate your kindness.

First, I need the money and want to see what other cities in the underwater world look like, and maybe I can get a monster hunting commission.

Secondly, I really want to see the abilities of you strong fishmen.

Since I missed playing against his brother Sparta, I now want to learn the skills of Slithereen in front of me."

"Shameless talk!"

Slithereen shouted angrily and pulled out the dagger from his waist.

The dagger was engraved with detailed patterns of fish scales. He threw it into the air and caught it steadily. The light continued to swim in the patterns.

This dagger, which is less than the length of an arm, looks like a treasure at first glance.

Dick's right hand rested on the hilt of Dawn Sword's sword on the left side of his waist, not taking the initiative to attack.

Nazi was about to persuade her again, but Morgana held her arm and walked aside with a smile, "Don't worry Dick knows what's going on."

Nazi caught a glimpse of Stein gesticulating around Little Eight, as if measuring its body size.

When she saw that Stein looked calm and showed no worry, she felt relieved. After all, Dick's strength lay there.

Dick slightly bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, keeping his gaze level with Slark. He knew in his heart that he was deliberately provoking and wanted to take the opportunity to teach his brother Sparta a lesson.

Want to teach me a lesson?

Interesting, this Deep-Sea World is really interesting.

The habit of loving to watch the excitement here is exactly the same as that in the Pendor world. Seeing that the two of them had already stood still, there were several fishmen and civilians walking slowly around, with interesting expressions on their faces.

In the crowd, Stein poked one of Lao Ba's tentacles.

"What are you doing?" Lao Ba was frightened by Stein's gesture just now. Now he saw his burning eyes and couldn't help but take a cautious step back.

"Hey hey hey, don't be afraid. Do you want to make another bet? Bet on who wins and who loses."

"No more gambling, no more gambling." Lao Ba's eight tentacles waved like waves.

"Hey, what a pity." Stein shook his head, his messy hair like the ears of wheat in a wheat field being blown up and down by the breeze,

"I was thinking of making another bet and you could completely become my experiment. Hehehehe..."

This chuckle came from his mouth, it was childish and funny.

Lao Ba felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end, and a chill surged up from the soles of his feet to his whole body, even though he had no hairs.

Are all land creatures so cunning?

Mom, I will never bet with these cunning land creatures again.
