Chapter 479 Siren Siren
"Siren Girl", also known as "Siren Banshee", is a kind of aquatic goblin. Most of them live on isolated islands in the deep sea far away from human society, and occasionally appear in offshore areas, where they come into contact with local human residents. The ecology and habits are described in detail in the "Fairy Subvolume" of "Vares Monster Guide".
Judging from the illustrations in the book, the Siren looks like a young and beautiful human girl in terms of body shape and appearance, except that the base of the ears and the outside of the limbs are covered with a layer of delicate silver scales, and her curly and dense long hair is like dark green seaweed. .
If you only look at the appearance, the siren girl is beautiful and charming, and she also has a moving voice. The singing voice is infused with the inherent charm of the goblins. People who are not strong enough will be deeply moved when they hear this beautiful singing voice. Deeply attracted, she unconsciously wants to get close to the Siren, and is willing to do anything for this beauty.
Aside from her mesmerizing singing, the Siren, like her other goblin kin, casts spells.
However, in the eyes of Qiao An today, the Siren Girl who only knows two or three low-level spells is not worth mentioning in terms of spellcasting. In comparison, the unique transformation ability of the Siren Girl "Trinity" needs more attention careful.
Sirens usually appear in front of the world in the form of glamorous women, but this is only one of their three forms. When necessary, Sirens can also fly into the sky in the form of a human-faced bird, or become In the form of a human body and a fishtail, it dives into the deep sea.
The three forms correspond to the three environments of sea, land and air. It is conceivable that even if they can defeat the siren girl, it will be difficult to prevent them from flying into the sky and diving into the sea to escape.
Just as Joan was thinking about how to deal with the three Siren Girl sisters, the ghost Curry coughed twice and said with some guilt: "Mr. Mage, in fact, there are a group of accomplices around the Siren Girl."
"Who are the Sea Demon Girl's accomplices?" Joan asked.
"It's a group of evil and cruel sahuagin." The ghost of the lighthouse watchman replied with a bitter face. "These guys were originally pirates operating in the nearby waters. Later, they were charmed by the singing of the three siren sisters and moved to the atoll area. Willing to be the bodyguard and thug of the witches, and help the three sisters of the witches to rob the passing ships."
"Sahuagin..." Joan frowned even more tightly.
"Murloc" is a general term for a large class of aquatic humanoid monsters, which can be subdivided into many different races, such as tritons, kuo-tao, sahuagin, etc. Among them, "murlocs" living in offshore areas "Sahuagin" is undoubtedly the most populous of all murlocs, and it is also the type that has the most intense conflicts with human society.
The shape of the sahuagin is similar to that of a human, with a shark-like head, covered with thick green scales, a raised fin along the spine, and a slender fish tail on the buttocks. The webbed hands and feet and the gill-like respiratory organs on both sides of the ears are convenient for sahuagin to swim in the deep sea, but they cannot live on dry land for a long time, otherwise they will die of suffocation.
The sahuagin are an evil race. Most individual sahuagin are greedy, cruel and violent, especially those living near the coastline, which are especially harmful to human society. This group of pirates is keen on robbing ships. Once they succeed, they will slaughter all the passengers and sailors on board, and rob them of all the goods they can move.
Because the sahuagin's plundering and killing style is exactly the same as the orc robbers on land, and their daunting dark green scales are quite similar to the green skin of orcs, so they are also hated by fishermen and sailors Call it "The Orcs of the Sea".
Joan had never dealt with sahuagin, but he was no stranger to orcs. Since the two were talked about in the same breath, they probably had similar strengths.
Out of prudence, he asked the ghost of the lighthouse watchman, "How many sahuagin bodyguards are there around the Sirens?"
"About a dozen, Mr. Wizard," Curry replied.
"At least twelve ferocious Sahua pirates, plus three siren girls, this is really a big trouble." Joan muttered in a low voice.
With his current strength, he is not sure of victory in challenging these gangsters single-handedly, the risk is too great.
Curry seemed to see that he was about to back down, and quickly said: "Mr. Mage, if you can eliminate the Siren and the Sahua pirates, you can get the ill-gotten wealth they have accumulated from plundering ships over the years as your chivalrous act." remuneration."
"Mr. Curry, to be honest, I really want to make this windfall, but I don't want to lose my life because I am obsessed with money... We need to formulate a proper battle plan." Joan replied after thinking.
"Mr. Mage, if you can attract the evil party into this lighthouse, I can help you deal with them." Curry said eagerly.
Joan glanced at him and asked in surprise, "You can't leave this lighthouse?"
"At night, I can leave the lighthouse for a short time, but I can't go too far, otherwise my soul will dissipate and disintegrate." Curry replied depressingly.
"That is to say, your soul is bound in the lighthouse by some kind of power?" Joan asked curiously.
"That's true, Mr. Master. After all, before I died, all I could think about was returning to the lighthouse and sticking to my post." Curry said sadly.
Joan nodded. I thought that Curry was probably the so-called "earth bound spirit". After death, he couldn't sleep peacefully because of his attachment to the lighthouse. The transformed ghost was also bound in the lighthouse and could not leave too far.
"Mr. Curry, I can consider your suggestion, but it is not easy to lure the witches and pirates who are two nautical miles away to the lighthouse. The rain has stopped. I will go to investigate the villain's lair first. Let's make a decision."
"Please be careful, Mr. Mage, I'm waiting for your good news here." Curry dodged and floated away to get out of the stairs.
Joan went downstairs along the spiral staircase, feeling extremely tangled.
He wasn't sure enough to deal with the three siren siren sisters and a large group of sahuayu pirates. Even if the treasures looted by these villains in the past four years were rewarded, it seemed that it was not worth risking his life for it.
Anyway, the rain has stopped now. If it just goes away like this and flies to Midgard according to the original plan, Curry, a bound spirit who can't leave the lighthouse too far, can't help himself, right?
That's what I said, but if he really did this, Joan felt a little uneasy deep in his heart, feeling that he had betrayed Curry's trust and expectations, gave the other party hope and ruthlessly destroyed it, I am really sorry for this A good and honest lighthouse watchman.
