Section 2452: Blockage

The appearance of the Gorgon Siren was just the beginning. Soon after, another group of non-sea beasts entered everyone's sight.

They were a group of mermaids with delicate appearance, black skin, golden eyes and milky white fish tails.

"This is the Prussian mermaid from Changting, the Fantasy Sea!" Someone recognized the newcomer.

Although the mermaids are also humanoid, and low-level mermaids, like the Gorgon Siren, will also eat humans, but that is only because of their lack of intelligence; the nobles or royal families among the mermaids have much stronger restraint. Not only do they not eat humans, they even maintain good relations with many human countries, and trade has never stopped.

For this reason, humans are actually closer to the mermaids than other humanoids. It can be seen from the name that humans have never used non-human pronouns to refer to mermaids as "it", but use human pronouns as "he" or "she" to refer to them.

Although there are still many humans who look down on mermaids, even so, they will admit that mermaids are closest to humans in terms of blood source compared to other strange humanoid creatures.

Now, even mermaids can no longer resist the attraction of the mysterious fruit, so is it the turn of humans next?

There are no fewer wizards with this idea.

But this is just a guess after all, and the mysterious power has obscured the wizards' premonition of danger, and the wizards present still hold a fluke attitude. Except for those wizards who retreated a little in the name of "Go", the other wizards could not hold back.

"Sir, should we persuade them to leave?" Looking at the unmoved tide of wizards behind, Angel spoke to the inspector.

Angel spoke this time, more to test the inspector's attitude.

There is a small number of wizards in the wizarding world who have expectations for their juniors. At first, they may only take care of the seniors and juniors in the same organization; but the stronger they are, the heavier this sense of responsibility is, and the wider it spreads, and it may even radiate to an entire tribe.

Such wizards will take the tribe as their core motivation, the sense of honor as their goal, and the glory of mankind as their temper. They are the kind of people who can appear in epic biographies.

Although such people are extremely rare, they are not absent.

If the inspector is also such a person, seeing so many young juniors die at once because of the mysterious fruit, he may also feel sorry.

Then Angel's words may win the favor of the inspector.

Even if the inspector is not a "philanthropic" wizard, these words will not cause disgust.

So Angel spoke.

As for what Angel thinks in his heart, that is another matter.

The inspector said calmly: "Do you think these people will listen to the dissuasion?"

Angel looked back at the crowd of wizards behind him. They clearly judged that there might be a crisis, but there was still persistence in their eyes... or, paranoia.

When paranoia appeared, the answer was already obvious.

Angel shook his head: "No."

Their psychological activities are actually easy to guess. There are so many wizards present, and they are not in the front row. If there is a change in Maguston in front, they can also see it and evacuate at the first time.

Moreover, humans may not really be affected by the mysterious fruit.

Even if there is an impact, looking at the beating frequency of the fruit, it is very close to maturity. Maybe it is not my turn at all, and the fruit has already matured. Isn't this a bargain?

"It is almost impossible to get them to leave simply by verbal dissuasion. Perhaps, only when they experience it with their own eyes will they remember the pain." Angel said softly.

The Inspector: "Not necessarily. Maybe someone can convince them with words?"

When the Inspector finished speaking, he glanced at the Speaker Zhuguang who was not far away.

Angel saw this scene and understood what the Inspector meant. These wizards may not necessarily listen to the dissuasion, but what if the person who said this is the Lord of the City of Truth?

It is recognized that the City of Truth represents authority in the South. What Speaker Zhuguang said is naturally easier to be convinced.

If Speaker Zhuguang said that these words were actually the prophecy of Senator Vera, then the credibility would be higher.

Of course, this also needs to be considered whether Speaker Zhuguang is willing to say it.

Angel personally thinks that Speaker Zhuguang is very likely to say it, because this is also a good opportunity to show the transcendence, fairness and authority of the City of Truth.

Thinking of this, Angel paid more attention to the conversation with Speaker Zhuguang.

…

After dozens of Prussian mermaids turned into blood foam and offered sacrifices to the mysterious fruit, no humanoid creatures appeared for a long time.

This made the surrounding humans feel a little relieved.

Perhaps, the group of Prussian mermaids was just an accident and would not affect humans?

The obsession with obtaining mysterious things made them more willing to believe in the results they preferred in their hearts. But the reality is often the opposite. The more you don’t want something to come, the more it will come as promised.

After waiting for about half an hour, Speaker Zhuguang finally received a reply from Senator Vera.

After listening to Senator Vera’s prediction about this matter, Speaker Zhuguang’s face changed slightly.

“I have just received a prophecy from Senator Vera.” Speaker Zhuguang spoke softly, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

“What did Senator Vera say?” Adelia asked while stroking the top of the skull cane in her hand.

"Not good." Speaker Zhuguang sighed: "Senator Vera cannot predict the events of the Mist Belt. The mysterious atmosphere here obscures her insight into fate. However, she used other methods to make indirect predictions."

"In the possible future that Senator Vera saw, the wizards who came here... those with names and surnames will be silent in many futures and no longer see any shining points."

This means that they either disappeared, left the South Region, or... died.

The probability of such a large number of humans disappearing and leaving at the same time is very small, so the answer is very likely: they have died in the near future. Therefore, there will be no news about them in the South Region.

And the cause of their death is most likely this incident.

Hearing this result, everyone's expression was a little ugly. However, the acceptance of this result was very fast, because this was also expected by them.

"Do you want to tell them?" After a period of silence, Livita was the first to speak.

"Since you have made a choice, you should be prepared for death." Adelia said coldly.

Speaker Zhuguang: "Black Lord, they were not marked by the time thief, and their other choices were not stolen. They still have a chance to regret."

Adelaiya: "So what? Even if they don't die this time, greed, as the original sin, will erupt in the next similar incident."

Speaker Zhuguang: "That's their own business in the future. We don't have to choose for them, but it doesn't take time to tell them the situation."

It only takes a little time to earn a favor, which is very cost-effective. Even if some wizards don't recognize this favor, it doesn't matter; they can refuse to recognize the favor, but after this, they will definitely have a deeper trust in the absolute neutrality of the City of Truth.

The City of Truth can have an unfailing reputation in the Southern Region, which is not achieved overnight, but accumulated over time.

Adelaiya snorted coldly: "Since the Speaker is so persistent, then let it be, Speaker, but I will never persuade him."

At this time, Dixie suddenly said: "I can do it for Lord Zhuguang."

Speaker Zhuguang looked at Dixie deeply, "I originally wanted to say that I would just send a projection over, but since Wizard Dixie is willing to go, let's go together."

Dixie: "Thank you."

The reason for thanking him is that Dixie knew very well that Speaker Zhuguang must have seen his intention.

Just as Speaker Zhuguang would consider the immortal name of the City of Truth, Dixie was also considering how to deepen the influence of "Yingdu Night Talk" in the wizarding world. This time is obviously a good opportunity, and he naturally didn't want to let it go.

"Wizard Dixie, let's go. The longer the time is delayed, the greater the variables."

It's said to be leaving, but their projections are actually still in place, because once the projection lands, it cannot be moved. If you want to tell others, you can only re-create the projection.

It didn't take long for them to re-create two projections to land in reality.

The location where the two new projections landed was in the crowd at the back.

…

Hearing the surprised uproar from the crowd at the back, Angell understood that Speaker Chasing Light and Dicher had already passed on Vera's prophecy.

"How many people do you think will choose to leave?" At this time, the Inspector suddenly took the initiative to ask Angell.

Angel looked back and saw that many wizards were retreating, and it seemed that there were no fewer.

"Senator Vera is one of the eighteen observers of the Crown Star Church. Her words should be very important. Perhaps, seven or eight out of ten will leave?" Angell guessed.

The Inspector chuckled: "If one or two out of ten can leave, it's enough."

"One or two out of ten? It shouldn't be that much, right?" Angell was a little skeptical. After all, judging from the current situation, almost nine out of ten wizards are retreating.

"You'll know when you wait and see."

The truth is the flower that blooms after the dust settles. Before this flower blooms, if you tell others that this flower will have square petals and blue stamens, even if you are an experienced gardener, others may not believe you.

"I think" and "I feel" are the driving force of human exploration of the unknown, but they are also a high wall of superiority in the self-highland.

Humans are naive and stupid. They are easily influenced by others and stubborn.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to influence everyone's decision with just a few words.

In addition to the stubborn nature of human beings, there is also a conflict of interest, so the number of people willing to believe in Speaker Zhuguang will decrease.

How many people are willing to leave after this decrease?

Time passed slowly.

The projections of Speaker Zhuguang and Dixel disappeared from the back, and another period of time passed.

Angel looked back and fell silent.

Maguston did not move, which is normal. Maguston has made up his mind. His choice is a clear indication from the time thief. For the future path, he cannot leave.

But the others...

Angel had seen 90% of the people retreat after learning the prophecy, but they only retreated. They seemed to be lucky, thinking that as long as they stayed away, everything would be fine.

In fact, less than 10% of the wizards actually left the fog belt.

The judgement of the inspector was accurate.
