Chapter 1169 Let's Make a Deal
"contract?"
Huo Yuhao flipped through the special page, which was made of special soul beast skin, and felt like touching the surface of water when held in his hand.
The text above looks more like a bunch of symbols that are hard to decipher.
"If you take the Nautilus, you have to sign a contract, otherwise those old guys will kill you," Fan Hai kindly reminded him.
He was more curious about how this human had obtained the Nautilus.
Could it be that he has truly obtained the priesthood of this sea god temple?
What puzzled Huo Yuhao was that this mermaid was actually quite nice.
Why would the other person help me?
An error occurred due to a discrepancy in the information exchanged between the two parties.
The mystery surrounding the overturned sea stems from the importance of the Nautilus to the Temple of Sea God. It is a treasure of the temple, and only priests can move it, while only the high priest can use it.
Normally, the Nautilus is connected to the Temple of Tanah Lot, and any abnormality will trigger an alarm throughout the entire temple.
The stone statue that houses the Nautilus is called the Deep Sea Statue. Only priests can use special abilities to communicate with the statue and take down the Nautilus.
So, Fan Hai wondered, could it be that Huo Yuhao, this human, had been recognized by the Temple of the Sea God?
But that doesn't quite add up. Judging from the damage to this sea temple, the battle took place a long time ago, and all the guardians here are dead. This human in front of me clearly broke in later.
Furthermore, the souls of priests are taken away by the secret realm of the sea to prevent the secrets of the Sea God Temple from being leaked, so it's impossible for this human to have taken the Nautilus.
Moreover, when I took out the contract hidden inside the statue just now, the mechanism on the statue was still there, and the countermeasure mechanism was still there.
This is why Fan Hai was puzzled and took the initiative to explain the contract.
He was testing Huo Yuhao to see if he knew anything about the Nautilus.
However, judging from the results, it is clear that Huo Yuhao was unaware of the situation.
So how did he remove the Nautilus?
Generally speaking, being a chatterbox is essentially gossiping.
At this moment, Fan Hai's curiosity was ignited.
Hyotei also became suspicious. Are all mermaids this hospitable?
Huo Yuhao looked at the contract in his hand, then glanced at Fan Hai standing opposite him. He could see the eagerness in Fan Hai's eyes.
This guy wants me to sign?
"Why are you explaining all this to me?" Huo Yuhao flipped his hand and took out a specially made box, from which he took out the Nautilus.
The nautilus, resembling a fossilized stone statue, was not particularly noticeable.
But the moment Fan Hai saw the Nautilus, he unconsciously took a half step back.
"Kid! Hold on tight! This thing is dangerous!"
"Danger?" Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback; it was as solid as a rock.
This time, Fan Hai scrutinized Huo Yuhao from beginning to end, muttering to himself, "You actually got recognized? This thing can blast intruders to smithereens!"
The truth behind the mystery of the overturned sea is not that Huo Yuhao was recognized by the Nautilus.
It was because the Nautilus sensed the power and aura of its master within Huo Yuhao's body.
In other words, the power and aura of the sea god.
If Nautilus were to reveal this, Huo Yuhao might recall that a long time ago, inside the Golden Tree of the Sea God Pavilion, he had encountered a little golden man who claimed to be a senior from Shrek Academy.
It was that little golden man who possessed Huo Yuhao, causing him to set his sights on the Emerald Swan in the Star Dou Great Forest, and ultimately fight Ye Nanxiao, who rushed over via spatial jump.
That little golden man is a projection of the power of the sea god.
When it possessed Huo Yuhao, it left behind a seed of divine power. Although Ye Nanxiao eventually cleaned it up at a great cost, the drop of divine power that the latter squeezed out did not completely eliminate the seed of divine power, leaving it with a faint trace.
This is also why the Nautilus did not rebel, and why the statue allowed Huo Yuhao to take the Nautilus.
"I've been recognized? I'm a priest now?" Huo Yuhao was also surprised. Although he was holding the Nautilus Conch, he had no idea how to use it.
"Sign it, right? Now that you're recognized, you're one of the people of the Great Sea Secret Realm. I can go back and report now." Fan Hai nodded, then turned to leave.
He had to go back and inform the high priest of the mermaids that the sea god temple had found another priest, and this time the priest possessed the Nautilus conch shell.
Nautilus hasn't appeared in the ocean for thousands of years.
"Yuhao, we need to fool him! This mermaid knows a lot!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice reminded Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao immediately understood what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm meant. To find the secret place in the sea, he needed to rely on the mermaid in front of him, or even the method to activate the Nautilus Conch, which he had not yet obtained.
"Wait a minute, buddy!"
Fan Hai was stopped and turned around in confusion. "You're not still thinking about fighting, are you?"
There was a hint of resistance in his voice.
After learning that Huo Yuhao had been recognized by Nautilus, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
In his eyes, Huo Yuhao's ability to obtain the Nautilus Conch must be related to the Secret Land of the Great Sea. The Empress had said that this place was not a good place!
"It's not about fighting, I just want to know why I have this qualification?" Huo Yuhao didn't say anything to persuade him to stay, but instead threw out another question.
During our brief encounter, we found that this merman was very talkative and couldn't stop talking once it started.
Let's take a gamble.
He should be able to answer questions unless they involve classified information.
After all, he had just acted like a loyal listener.
"Oh, speaking of that, I'm also wondering why you gained the Nautilus's trust. This thing recognizes its master! Without the formal ritual inheritance from the previous High Priest, you cannot possess the Nautilus, and you might even be injured by it!"
"A friend of mine once tried to touch the nautilus without the high priest's permission, and the whole fish flew out of the ocean! It flew for a long time before landing!"
"And if the Nautilus is forcibly affected by external forces, those old guys will know!"
Huo Yuhao understood that the old guys Fan Hai was referring to were the secret land of the Great Sea.
But what exactly is this secret place in the ocean?
Are those old guys spirit beasts or humans?
How many?
"Will they come and steal the Nautilus?"
"Yes, they will come to collect the Nautilus shells."
While communicating with Fan Hai, Huo Yuhao enveloped himself with gentle spiritual energy, allowing himself to radiate a peaceful aura.
Fan Hai was very confident and didn't think Huo Yuhao would pose a threat to him, so he wasn't very wary during their conversation.
"Do you have nautilus shells where you live? Do those old guys recycle them?" Huo Yuhao asked directly.
Fan Hai shook his head slightly, a hint of gloom in his eyes. "Those old guys need someone to do their jobs."
The latest novel is first published here!
This clearly means that the secret realm of the ocean will not do anything to the mermaid race.
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then extended the Nautilus conch shell in his hand forward.
"So, it seems only you two can use this thing. Can we make a deal?"
Fan Hai raised an eyebrow slightly. "If you're qualified, then you can use it. But I'm more curious about what kind of deal you want?"
Just a moment ago, Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm discussed something.
What is the Secret Land of the Ocean?
If someone comes, can I dodge them or protect the nautilus shell in my hand?
What is the significance of searching for the Nautilus shell on my own?
Just to catch a glimpse of the future.
What about after that?
Based on some of Fan Hai's words, Huo Yuhao felt that the Nautilus was like a hot commodity, and having it in his possession was bound to attract some troublemakers.
It would be better to use it and then hand it over to the merfolk to see what useful information they could get in return.
He could tell that this thing would definitely be of great use to the merfolk.
"Do you want this?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Fan Hai's eyes lit up immediately.
Do you want a nautilus?
of course yes.
This is something left behind by the sea god in this ocean.
Fan Hai didn't know what the Nautilus Conch's function was, but he did know that the glory of the mermaid race began when the sea god bestowed treasures upon them.
He didn't know how to use it, but the high priest certainly did.
However, Fan Hai did not agree immediately, after all, he was a new generation leader of the mermaid clan who had been venturing into the sea for many years.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"This thing is rumored to be able to predict the future. I want to see my future and see if I will become an unparalleled powerhouse," Huo Yuhao replied, half-jokingly.
Fan Hai believed Huo Yuhao's answer to some extent, since both humans and mermaids wanted to become unparalleled powerhouses.
However, considering the soul-like qualities within Huo Yuhao, Fan Hai hesitated.
He had clashed with Hyotei once before when he was testing the waters, and it felt like competing against a peer from his own clan.
Although he was confident he could win, there were three other identical souls within this human.
"You... I wanted to ask you this the moment we met, are you a demonic spirit master?"
Fan Hai pointed to the Ice Emperor floating next to Huo Yuhao.
"No, they are my partners, my family. This is a form of symbiosis between us," Huo Yuhao replied sincerely.
Hyotei proudly raised its head and crossed its arms over its chest. "Land and sea are different."
"Oh!" Fan Hai exclaimed with a hint of surprise.
However, I was only slightly surprised.
After all, as Hyotei said, the sea and the land are two different environments, and both sides are just curious about each other.
"I think this deal of yours is very worthwhile."
Fan Hai admitted that he wanted to improve, as there were many outstanding peers in the clan, and he even had an older sister peer above him.
"However, I am not able to fulfill your conditions because I do not know how to use them."
"If you dare to come back with me, perhaps the High Priest will have a solution."
After he finished speaking, it was Huo Yuhao's turn to hesitate.
To the mermaid clan's stronghold?
Are all those places inhabited by 100,000-year-old soul beasts?
But if I don't go, I'll just be pondering this stone for who knows how long.
"Brother Tianmeng!"
"Yuhao, I think we can go. You have what that mermaid called qualifications. Since we're qualified, the mermaid who believes in the sea god won't harm us!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words were correct to some extent; Fan Hai did indeed have a better attitude because Huo Yuhao possessed the qualifications.
