Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 114 The Two Heroes of the Capital!

Near Siren Island, numerous fissures have revived due to the influence of the fissure tides.

Chen Qi's targets are the D-order rift in the image or the light, the Siren Sister, and the transplantable sea beast.

The Flower Witch's goal, however, is to enhance her strength by clearing the C-rank Flower Rift.

To reach these places, intelligence gathering is essential.

Chen Qi shook his head. Now that Big Mouth Pei Lu was no longer around, the only way to get information was to go to the information brokers on Siren Island.

Chen Qi looked at the environment of Siren Island.

With the influx of adventurers, many new inns and taverns have been built on Siren Island.

As the kingdom that governs the [Hammer] and controls the [Workshop], the organization of the Origin Hunters, the Kingdom of Bei possesses exceptionally strong infrastructure capabilities.

Under the island owner's arrangement, many ordinary people's houses were transformed into hotels in just one month.

The once barren island has been transformed into an excellent tourist destination.

boom!boom!
The moment they landed on the island, two gunshots rang out.

Chen Qi smiled; he liked the simple and honest folk customs.

The Flower Witch cautiously looked around; she spotted the Hunter Association's bounty hunters.

Members of the Hunter Association enjoy taking on all sorts of commissions, including bounty posters.

She pulled down the brim of her hat and then sprayed herself with some 'perfume' to neutralize the scent.

Because of the Blood Flower Disease, the Flower Witch smells very sweet, so she has to use a special potion to mask the faint fragrance on her body.

Chen Qi put on hunter's clothes and pinned a chef's badge to his chest, indicating that he was a harmless chef.

Unfortunately, the chef's certificate was a fake he bought from a street stall.

There is a clear difference between this and the chef's certificate issued by the chefs' association.

After returning to port, you can participate in the chef competition and get a real badge.

Chen Qi said:

"Fen, let's find a hotel, take a shower first, and then find a tavern to ask for information, okay?"

When you're out and about, you can no longer refer to the Flower Witch as a witch.

"Call me by my name...?" The Flower Witch blushed and nodded, "Yes."

For a very long time, no one called her name.

Chen Qi continued:

"By the way, if anyone asks about your identity, just say you're a waiter on my dining boat, someone who does odd jobs."

Previously, the Flower Witch had tried to become his father while celebrating his advancement.

He remembered!

"Your waitress..." The Flower Witch, adopting her role, said respectfully:
"Okay, I'm your loyal employee, boss~"

There's no need to be so deliberate... After getting ready, Chen Qi and the Flower Witch headed to the inn on Siren Island.

The two chose a centrally located luxury hotel with a private bathroom and excellent soundproofing.

Each person spent 2,000 coins to book two adjacent single rooms, then changed clothes and took a shower.

……

……

"Cool……"

After taking a shower in the morning, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

However, the Flower Witch will still be around for a long time.

This is not because she takes a long time to shower.

The Flower Witch not only needs to take a bath, but also needs to regularly pluck the flowers from her body.

Although the blood flower disease is beautiful, it is still a terrifying disease.

The Flower Witch also needs to apply ointment to remove the flowers from her body.

Especially flowers that grow in dangerous locations.

Each flower plucked is like holding a silver needle and stabbing it into a major artery.

If the flower grows on the chest, that is, near the heart, then the pain is even greater.

If not treated promptly, these flowers can seriously affect health.

The Flower Witch must process ten flowers every seven days.

Although she has long been accustomed to this pain, it will likely take a long time.

Chen Qi decided to go to the tavern first to see if he could find out any information about the C-rank Flower Phase Rift, as well as the Siren, Shadow Phase, and Lamp Phase Rifts.

Next to the hotel is a large tavern that can accommodate a hundred people.

Chen Qi pushed open the door.

The moment he stepped inside, he smelled the strong aroma of alcohol and heard the melodious sound of the lute.

The melodious piano music soon stopped, and then he heard a slightly mocking young voice.

"My guest, the weapon that cuts flesh and shatters bones is the nemesis of the deep-sea hunters. The weapon left behind by the Azure Beast is not something your mere five-person second-tier hunter team could obtain."

Give up as soon as possible!
However, now that you've paid, I can tell you that neither the Navy nor the Black Whale Crew will easily let Meat Cleave leave Siren Island.

And the meat, cut to pieces, would most likely fall into their hands.

He looked closely when he woke up.

The tavern patrons were gathered around a young information broker.

He had his hair tied in a ponytail, wore a loose white shirt and greyish-white trousers, and held a delicate lute in his hand.

Judging from her fair skin, she looks somewhat like a woman.

"This is!"

Chen Qi was stunned.

He recognized the person in front of him.

As expected of the Sea of ​​Rifts!
Unexpectedly, he was able to meet a famous figure on the forum in such a short time!

Despite appearing to be a sharp-tongued female bard, he is actually a gentle man.

Although his spiritual energy field appears to be that of an ordinary second-tier transcendent.

But in reality, he has already entered the legendary realm of the fourth tier.

His true identity is none other than Captain Palu, the hidden leader of the Ice Demon Pirate Crew and one of the Four Emperors of the Sea!
Palu is very famous on gaming forums and, like Peru, has a lot of nicknames.

He likes the art of disguise, and he believes that true disguise is not just about faking age and height.

To truly deceive others, alterations to one's spiritual field, gender, occupation, even species and personality are crucial. Furthermore, Palu, like An and Peru, is also an outstanding graduate of the Royal University of Belial.

Moreover, like Peilu, he is also one of the three famous talents of the capital, ranking second.

Known as the 'only normal person', one of the 'Three Heroes of the Capital', a 'cross-dressing master', a 'second-rate information broker', a 'working captain', a 'slave to the crew', and the 'successor of the Ice Witch'.

Although both are among the three heroes of the capital, Palu is stronger, more polite, more serious, and more diligent than Peru.

Moreover, although the Ice Demon Pirates are called a pirate crew, their main mission is to explore the unknown seas and uncover hidden secrets of history.

It's truly a breath of fresh air in the sea of ​​witches.

The title "Three Heroes of the Capital" is not exactly a compliment.

I don't know why Paru is listed as one of the Three Heroes of the Imperial Capital?
What is the purpose of the Ice Demon Pirates here? Chen Qi remained calm.

Palu, despite being a fourth-tier legendary figure with exceptional strength, is not a madman and would not harm ordinary people.

The braided, sharp-tongued female bard in front of me is Palu's favorite alias, and she is extremely popular on player forums, even surpassing her real-life popularity by a full five times.

At this moment, Paru sat in the middle of the group, his wallet already full.

Clearly, he was making money by selling intelligence.

Chen Qi ordered a glass of cider and found a seat.

This is a big shot in the Ice Demon Pirates; perhaps he can hear some useful information.

Palu raised his hand and said:

"Next question! There's no information around here that I don't know."

Snapped!
At that moment, a blonde young woman drank a glass of wine and flicked two gold coins at Paru's face.

"I have a question!"

With blonde hair and pointed ears, its appearance is very similar to that of an elf.

Meanwhile, she wore an expensive white uniform with a distinctive golden flower badge on her chest.

This badge...

Chen Qi noticed that the other person's badge was somewhat similar to the flower that the Flower Witch had given her.

Could it be that she has a connection with the Flower Witch's family?
Moreover, this appearance suggests she's a talent from the Royal University of Beiguo, and the third of the three outstanding women in the capital, known as "Seafood Sister."

What's going on?! He's run into two of the three heroes of the capital!

Chen Qi fell into thought.

Although he recognized the character, he didn't know much about him.

He didn't know why this beautiful blonde woman was called "Seafood Sister."

They don't look like they're in the seafood business.
Paru frowned and accepted the coin:
"Excuse me, sir... what information do you have to ask me?"

The blonde woman raised her hand and smiled slightly:
"I want to ask, where is the Siren?"

The crowd immediately started to cheer.

The Siren, a well-known monster in Siren Gorge, is dangerous, but it is also very beautiful, which makes many people very interested in it.

Paru replied:

"The northern part of Siren Island is the central area of ​​the Siren Gorge rift. If you want to reach the rift quickly, you must pass through this area."

If you walk towards that area, there's a high chance you'll encounter a siren.

"May I ask, miss, why are you seeking information about the siren?"

The blonde woman thought for a moment and said:

"Because I heard that siren hair is a kind of sticky tentacles, which must feel very comfortable to touch."

"Touching a sea monster?"

Palu snorted coldly:
"Just a reminder, although sirens look like humanoid creatures, they are actually monsters. In essence, they are no different from the overlords of the near seas and do not have any desire for humans."

Their beautiful appearance and melodious songs are nothing more than weapons used to lure food.

Although the idea that sirens are beautiful and dangerous has become a consensus in the Witch Sea.

However, when many people actually see a siren, they are still inevitably tempted.

It creates the illusion that "it's different, it means something to me".

Coupled with their unique and alluring singing voices, quite a few people still fall for it every year!
The blonde woman retorted:

"But, sirens look like humans, they're so beautiful! I just want to touch them and play with them..."

Palu frowned and asked deliberately:
"May I ask what country you are from?"

The blonde woman replied:
"I am an international student at the Royal University of Bel, from the Kingdom of Golden Flower Bird."

Palu raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically:

"So they're from the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, the one that has strange ideas about pets. That's not surprising."

Chen Qi pondered, realizing that as a player of the large Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom, he couldn't refute Palu's statement in a sense.

Paru said earnestly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the siren's song can bewitch most intelligent beings, not just humans."

They are absolutely the most dangerous monsters in Siren Gorge! They will not have any desires other than aggression towards humans!
If you unfortunately encounter a siren, stay rational and don't be deceived by its appearance!

Everyone nodded and patted their chests confidently.

They've seen it all, so they're not going to be lured here by mere sea monsters.

Paru did his best to play the role of his sharp-tongued bard, cursing:
"Only some good-for-nothings from the Kingdom of Golden Flower Birds, or those brainless people who are blinded by lust, would have the foolish idea of ​​getting close to the siren."

"Why don't you play with the sea monsters instead of the predators of the near seas?"

Chen Qi frowned as he drank his cider.

What does that mean? Who are you insulting?
He seemed to have been hit by a random area-of-effect attack.

Palu played a few notes on his violin and then said:

"Next question."

The blonde woman, who resembled an elf, did not refute the insults she received.

"I'll get my revenge with money!" She threw five more gold coins, which bounced hard across Palu's face.
"I still have questions."

"Five gold coins..."

Palu was shocked. The quality of this gold coin was worth at least 300,000 shells, which was no small sum.

Then, she looked around and asked the more than one hundred people present:

"I'd like to ask everyone, has anyone spotted any trace of the witch?"

At that moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Paru's expression also became somewhat serious.
