Probably because he has been eating "takeaway" since he came to this world, Huaxi didn't expect that the teacher actually had this skill.

After being slightly shocked, I immediately ran back excitedly to wash my hands, and then rushed into the kitchen to help cook.

Lin Tuo's original intention was to prepare food for tomorrow's sacrifice, but he thought it was too late, so he bought more.

“It’s also good to eat home-cooked meals occasionally.”

After working for more than an hour, a seafood meal came out, one big and one small. The two of them moved the table and ate it in the small courtyard. It was quite interesting.

Of course, Lin Tuo's cooking skills were not as good as those of outside chefs, but for some reason, Huaxi was particularly happy to eat, and even took on the task of washing the dishes after eating.

Lin Tuo didn't stop him, he agreed with a smile, and then put the ingredients he had reserved from the kitchen into the refrigerator.

After doing this, he slowly returned to the study and continued reading magic books.

…

…

There was nothing to say that night.

The next day, the sandbox time is about 10 am.

Lin Tuo's figure descended from the sky again and arrived on the island.

He thought he had arrived early, but unexpectedly, those sea tribesmen were already waiting.

"Your Excellency, Human Wizard, you are here!"

On the island, when Peiya saw Lin Tuo's arrival, she immediately jumped up from the stone and said in surprise.

Behind her, the team from yesterday was still following.

"When we came, we didn't see you, we thought... we thought..."

"Thought I left?" Lin Tuo, wearing a cloak, said with a smile.

"..." Peiya blushed.

Lin Tuo smiled and said: "Okay, I've kept you waiting for a long time, let's set off now. By the way, you can take these books with you as a sacrifice. Just consider them as my gifts."

"Huh?" A group of sea monsters were surprised and happy, and quickly thanked them. As the captain, Peia was obviously more reserved.

He ordered his subordinates to carry it, while he swung his tail, pointed at a platform made of water elements on the sea, and said: "Please, this is the ship we have prepared."

Lin Tuo looked curious. He originally thought that he would have to switch bodies to fly all the way, but he didn't expect to have such an experience.

The entire platform is similar to a flattened water bubble, with colorful waves rippling in the sunlight.

When he stepped on it, two sea tribesmen immediately pushed him from behind. The rest of the sea tribesmen scattered around to escort him, while Peia's body was half submerged under the water.

As he walked, he kept introducing the details of the "Begging Sacrifice" to Lin Tuo.

"...the begging ceremony will start at noon, and will be held by the Queen herself. Last night, the entire ethnic group was busy all night, preparing sacrifices and building altars..."

"Going forward from here, at our speed, well, according to human timing, we can arrive in about half an hour..."

"Crash..."

The sea breeze was blowing gently. Lin Tuo was shrouded in a black cloak and his hat hung softly on his head. He listened to Peiya's chattering introduction with a smile on his face and became increasingly curious about today's ceremony.

…

…

About an hour later.

When a group of people entered a certain area of ​​calm sea, Lin Tuo was surprised to see a magnificent altar floating on the sea.

Yes, a floating altar!

It was actually made of ice, in a regular round shape, with patterns imprinted on it that fit the aesthetics of the sea people. There were also ice sculptures, some shaped like animals, and some similar to flowers and plants.

It was floating so calmly on the sea. Through the sea, you could vaguely see ropes binding it to the nearby rocks to prevent it from drifting.

Densely packed sea tribes swam among them.

Above the floating ice altar, there were about a thousand sea tribesmen in costumes busy placing strange items one after another in the center of the altar.

From a distance, it looks noisy and lively.

"Here it is, the altar we made overnight." Peiya proudly held up the two shells on her chest and said.

"It's...beautiful." On the sea, Lin Tuo looked at the hustle and bustle in front of him and couldn't help but admire.

On the way, he learned that the sea people who had mastered the ability of the water element could easily create ice cubes, but he did not expect that they could achieve such precision.

Amid the admiration, the group of people kept approaching, attracting the attention of countless sea monsters on the altar.

"Wow! It's Peia and the others!"

"The one wearing clothes is the human she mentioned?"

"He can actually talk to us?"

The sea monsters started talking curiously one after another, and none of them betrayed anyone.

"Dear human wizard, I am the Queen of the Sea Tribe, Siren. Welcome to your arrival."

Just as Lin Tuo stepped onto the floating ice altar, he heard a calm and soft voice. The sea people dispersed one after another, and a sea people wearing strange and gorgeous fabrics swam over with a smile.

She is larger in stature and more beautiful in appearance than the rest of the sea tribe. She has a crown woven on her head. At this moment, she is looking over with a pair of curious and gentle eyes.

"This is also my honor." Lin Tuo smiled.

Hearing that he could actually talk to her, Queen Siren's eyes brightened significantly. She smiled and said: "It seems that Peya did not lie to me. You really understand our language."

Lin Tuo smiled and did not explain.

The Siren Queen seemed to understand certain human etiquette and did not ask further questions. She just pulled Lin Tuo to talk casually.

The latter didn't care either. These sea people didn't know much about the Northern and Southern Continents anyway. Whatever he said was correct.

Combining what he saw while searching for books in the Northern Continent, and adding some imagination, Lin Tuo vividly introduced the customs of the Lower Continent.

Soon, when the sun rose to the center of the sky, the entire huge altar suddenly fell into silence.

"Peiya, take the guests over there." Queen Siren looked up at the sky and ordered Peia, then smiled apologetically at Lin Tuo, "The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin."

"Please do it." Lin Tuo said with a smile, and then followed Peiya to the edge of the altar. Here, there were also a large number of sea tribes gathered, some on the ice and some diving into the bottom of the sea.

Not all sea people can participate in the begging festival, especially the outgoing teams like Peya, who mainly maintain law and order and sit in the audience.

"here we go!"

Following a low cry from someone unknown, Lin Tuo heard a burst of strange music.

That is the music of the sea people.

It came from inside the altar and was played by the musicians who formed a circle.

As beings in the sea, they have a variety of musical instruments, and as the music floats, dancers in costumes dance on the altar at the same time.

And he opened his voice and sang in a strange tone.

The melody is melodious, like ocean waves.

"Is this their art?" In the audience, Lin Tuo closed his eyes slightly, listening to the music echoing in his ears, and in the center of the altar, the Siren Queen and several sea tribe leaders also danced with unique flavor.

In the sound of music, colorful bubbles rose up and floated into the sky.

For a moment, Lin Tuo was in a daze.

This is really an extremely beautiful sight.

At the same time, Peya and other sea tribesmen beside him also clasped their hands tightly at the same time, put them on their chests, closed their eyes, and raised their heads slightly, as if they were sensing something.

After about a few minutes, the sound of the music gradually dropped until it disappeared.

The dancing sea tribe also stopped dancing.

In the audience, countless sea people opened their eyes and looked at the empty sky, slowly showing disappointment.

"What's wrong?" Lin Tuo looked at Peiya next to him strangely. Soon, he saw the squad leader with his ears drooped and forced a smile, "It seems that the god's gaze has left.

."

"...You mean, the sacrifice has been completed?" Lin Tuo's expression became very exciting.

"Yes," in the silent atmosphere, the Siren Queen in the center of the altar gave a bitter smile and slowly swam over, with a look of disappointment on her face, "I thought there would be something different this time, but unfortunately, the gods still did not respond to us.

"

"..." Lin Tuo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He originally thought that this was the opening dance of the sacrifice, but he didn't expect it, but it was gone...

Compared to the long and complicated sacrificial ceremonies of humans, these sea tribes are... really... short.

It was so short that Lin Tuo didn't even realize that he should be fed.

What to do next?

Just leave like this?

Didn't you prepare the ingredients for nothing?
To be continued...
