Chapter 52 Mercury
Storm, cruise ship, dance party, shipwreck, pirates, witches, fight.
Ports, cities, lighthouses... and Lilith, the king of the ocean and water, her ghostly figure, the nameless obsidian dagger.
Under the brain's forgetting effect of dreams, except for the extremely deep elements, Xiziyue basically doesn't remember the details. Otherwise, she could accurately lock in the era in the dream according to the style of clothing and interior decoration.
"A port city that truly exists?" Zero asked.
"In my opinion, this is the most appropriate description, and you will never think of a better wording for a while." Xiziyue answered truthfully.
When confronted with the witch, she had the idea of jumping into the sea and swimming towards the port. After all, that place seemed too mysterious and tempting. Even if there were no curious people, they had some idea of exploring the truth, and wanted to see if there were really citizens living in that city.
To take a step back, in Xiziyue's view at that time, that city was very likely to be the exit of this dream. As soon as she landed on land, she would automatically return to reality.
But this idea was just an idea. She was still a long way from the sea to that city. Fighting a chase with the ocean and the King of Water in the sea should be equivalent to suicide.
"How did you defeat her in the end?" Zero was surprised.
According to Xiziyue's description, she has no bloodline advantage in her dreams. Although the Dragon King was severely weakened, she still has extraordinary body and strength. In this way, Xiziyue can defeat the other party is somewhat incredible.
"I found a hunting rifle and successfully exploded on her head." Xiziyue said calmly.
"It's that simple?" Zero was a little surprised.
“It’s that simple.”
After thinking for a while, Zero accepted the statement: "I will convey it to the vice principal, please pay attention to rest... Do you have anything to eat? There is a kitchen on the boat."
"Eat?" Xiziyue was stunned again, thinking that this turning point was more than just a stiff one, and it was simply fierce.
"It's already nine o'clock in the morning. You haven't had breakfast, aren't you hungry?" said Little Man in a proper tone.
Xiziyue couldn't refute it for a moment. After several hours of treatment, she was indeed a little hungry.
"You cook yourself?" She thought for a while, and then picked up some fuss.
Zero shrugged and sighed: "I don't like the breakfast served on the boat, nor do I like canned food. Instead, there are some good ingredients on the boat and I can make some delicious food."
"Then... help me do something." Xiziyue had no choice but to agree.
"Okay." Zero left the infirmary, and at one point the room was left with the sound of instruments.
Not long after, Lu Mingze's voice came out from the dark gap: "Sister, don't think that it's your personality charm that makes the cold and arrogant little queen so friendly to you."
"Then what do you think it should be?" Xiziyue still spitted and drank brown sugar water in small mouths, not surprising to Lu Mingze's appearance.
"For example, she apologizes to you."
Xiziyue's movement of holding the cup suddenly stopped.
"Don't tell me sister, you don't see this."
"I've noticed it a little." Xiziyue looked a little lowered, and the heat from the tea moistened her drooping eyelashes.

As a profile, Xiziyue can certainly detect the subtle changes in his relationship in recent times. The specific time point was after she met her boss at that time.
"If you find that Xiziyue can use profile to talk to an invisible little boy, then kill her... This is how the boss should have ordered her at the beginning, right?" Lu Mingze said.
Xiziyue nodded.
She did guess so, and the boss might have said something bad to Zero.
"Do you remember that I gave an example of you being betrayed by everyone, but the head of the Uesugi family never leaves you? When I described Zero, I clearly used the statement that she might stab you in the back. This is not groundless, but the result of careful research."
Lu Mingze sat next to Xiziyue's hospital bed and picked up the oranges on the bedside table to peel them... Compared with brown sugar water and potato chips, the orange style is obviously much more normal, and this is what should appear in front of the patient's bed.
"But don't worry at this stage, you and her are indeed good friends, otherwise they wouldn't be sorry for you and be so gentle... What's more, look at this orange, which is what others bring. This kind of treatment is one level higher than Ma Yi and Enxi." Lu Mingze peeled off an orange and shook the orange petals as if showing off.
Xiziyue grabbed Lu Mingze's newly peeled orange, and gave it to her expressionlessly without saying a word. He could only express helplessness in this regard.
"How did you help me in Nibelungen before?" Xiziyue spoke directly, and when it comes to omitting the twists, she was no less than zero.
"Although it was a Nibelung root, it was just a dream after all, and it happened to be a professional match for me... Do you still remember the decipherment of Angers' history? After the previous generation of secret party leadership was destroyed, the newly appointed leader relied on the spirit of "Dream Garden" to successfully defeat the witch and escaped from the dream assassination."
"A reminder, your method of defeating the witch is exactly the same as that leader." Lu Mingze added a reminder.
"He also used this spirit to ask for help outside the field?" Xiziyue understood immediately.
"Resolution." Lu Mingze snapped his fingers, "The dream assassination of the King of Ocean and Water is essentially the ultimate form of the Dream Garden, or this is the real use of this Spirit of Word. Such powerful ability falls into the hands of humans, and it can only be used to hold meetings, which is a waste of resources." Lu Mingze is suspected of suggesting that Elizabeth is not going to do anything.
"In the dream garden of ocean and water, it is almost impossible for humans to fight against the witch with their personal strength, but what if it is two?" Lu Mingze said, "Just like me and you, I suddenly throw a gun to you at a critical moment, and it will be easier to deal with it. For example, the invention of the Maxim machine gun not only made the Mongols turn into a nation that can sing and dance, but also gave ordinary people the opportunity to kill powerful mixed races."
"After successfully repelling Lilith, the leader of the secret party woke up in blood and shouted that the enemy was a witch... For him, he could not remember the specific content of the dream, so the information left at that time was very vague. The only clear record was the word witch... This is what makes you amazing, sister, you not only survived successfully, but also caused a storm, shipwreck, port and city to explode."
Under Lu Mingze's story, the thick fog of the mystery suddenly became clear, and it could even be said to be a closed loop.
In the past history, the newly appointed leader of the secret party used the Dream Garden to call off-site aid after being assassinated in Dreams, and then successfully defeated Lilith. Although Xiziyue did not have this spirit, she could actually achieve the same effect by following Lu Mingze, the charlatan beside her.
"How should we explain this point of mercury?" said Nishiziyue.
"This is probably the same as Angers said. Even the king of the ocean and water cannot ignore the laws of elements and rely solely on the spirit to kill people out of thin air. Therefore, it requires material medium, and mercury is the most ideal thing."
"But the premise is that someone needs to place mercury in advance." Xiziyue keenly noticed it.
I can't help but feel a bit fatal. In the past history, it is likely that the Dragon Clan undercover in the Secret Party placed mercury in the elders' rooms, but in this case, who can do this? It's impossible to sleep in the same cabin, but, right?
"It doesn't necessarily need to place mercury in advance. If there is a ready-made site, it should be possible with Lilith's ability, especially if you used profiles on the deck before, and she locked the coordinates early."
"In recent times, the college has been very strict in the use of mercury, and the vice president has also promised that all the alchemy systems of this ship do not use mercury." Xiziyue said.
"But what if I took it on the boat later? Especially the luggage of you guys." Lu Mingze seemed to be hinting at something.
"Have we brought this kind of thing?" Xiziyue was confused.
