At the gate of Hanhai City, an old man and a young man stopped at the same time.
The young man was wearing a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle over his right eye.
The old man was wearing a white robe with gold thread and white boots made of soft, glossy material.
Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Walter's face showed a look of reminiscence:
"My wife used to say she was stationed here. But I've never heard her mention the Mermaid race, and I'm afraid even here, the race you're talking about is rare."
"It is indeed rare, otherwise the news wouldn't have taken half a year to arrive." Amon pinched his eye sockets, his expression slightly dazed.
He was connecting mentally with his avatars in Hanhai City to understand what had happened here in the past six months.
After receiving the information from his avatar, he glanced at the guards at the city gate with interest. In the past six months, this unlucky guard had lost his wallet six times.
The two rested at the Spirit Hall branch for a day.
Early the next morning, a man with golden hair, wearing a white robe, and a smile that gave people a strange sense of closeness came to the entrance of the Spirit Hall branch.
He exuded a delicate fragrance and wore light makeup on his face.
The guards at the door greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Adam, what brings you here?"
"Adam" said gently: "The person I'm waiting for has arrived."
Amon and Walter walked out of the Spirit Hall branch.
Walter looked at "Adam" with a puzzled expression, feeling a sense of familiarity with the golden-haired man in front of him.
He didn't recognize that "Adam" and Amon actually had the same appearance. After all, a person can almost become another person with makeup, a different hairstyle, and a change of clothes.
"Mr. Walter, this is my good friend, Adam. He was the one who found the target this time. Adam, this is Mr. Walter," Amon introduced the two.
"Mr. Walter, nice to meet you," "Adam" bowed.
Walter nodded slightly, his gaze shifting between "Adam" and Amon, as if trying to see through the connection between them.
Led by "Adam," the two arrived at the port and boarded a medium-sized fishing boat at a pier.
There were dozens of sailors on the fishing boat, most of whom were ordinary people, mixed with two or three of Amon's avatars.
The reason why they weren't all avatars was to avoid arousing Walter's suspicion. One or two people with similar faces could be a coincidence, but if an entire ship of dozens of people had the same face, it would be hard not to notice.
The sail was lowered, and the fishing boat loaded with half a ship of goods slowly left the shore.
"Adam" looked at Walter and asked:
"Mr. Walter, how much strength can you exert on the sea? Although according to my plan, it's unlikely that we'll fight at sea, we may need to escape at sea."
"No need to worry, the terrain of battle doesn't restrict me much," Walter replied.
The three came to the captain's room, and "Adam" took out a sea chart and began to explain his hunting plan:
"I spent half a year gaining the trust of the Mermaid race and obtaining the qualifications to trade with them."
"Every month, I bring unique goods from the shore to exchange for things they collect from the sea."
"This is a huge profit. If Amon didn't have other alternatives, I wouldn't want to let it go."
"Adam" intentionally or unintentionally revealed to Walter that he and Amon were on good terms.
After a pause, he continued:
"Not all mermaids meet the conditions. First, the Sea Spirit Beast bloodline must be a higher percentage. Second, the age must be suitable. Third, the talent must be sufficient to have mind-reading abilities."
"Wait, if the other party has mind-reading abilities, wouldn't they be able to detect our plan as soon as they see you?" Walter couldn't help but interrupt.
"Well... she can read other people's minds, but she can only read momentary thoughts, not probe past memories. As long as you focus your thoughts on what you're doing at the moment, you don't have to worry about it," "Adam" explained.
The mermaid's mind-reading ability is similar to the Hall of Truth in the Mysteries world. As long as you focus your thoughts, you can deal with it, which is not difficult for "Adam."
Moreover, the mind-reading ability is not always maintained. Before it is activated, mental fluctuations will be emitted, which allows "Adam" not to have to keep his mind focused at all times, reducing the difficulty by a lot.
"Adam" continued: "Currently, there is only one person who meets the conditions, the second daughter of the mermaid clan leader, Hai Yun. The specific action plan is like this..."
"Adam" pointed to the sea chart and drew a circle in the sea area:
"This is the Mermaid race's residence, a small island, but it's not marked on the map."
Then, he moved the charcoal pencil and drew another circle on another small island closer to the mainland:
"I will drop Amon and Mr. Walter off here. This is the selected hunting point."
"After that, I will go to Mermaid Island and steal the treasure that they have been worshiping for generations. If nothing unexpected happens, Hai Yun will come to hunt me down."
"I will lure Hai Yun to the island where you are ambushing. You need to kill her as soon as possible and then leave immediately."
"She probably has the strength of a newly-entered Soul Douluo. If you make preparations in advance, I think killing her shouldn't be difficult for Mr. Walter, right?"
"What you need to pay attention to is that our actions must be fast, otherwise, we will most likely be hunted down by a Title Douluo."
"Title Douluo?" Walter's face changed slightly, and he asked with some solemnity: "What's going on?"
Even if his combat power is one of the best among Soul Douluos, and he can even fight against some less powerful Title Douluos, he doesn't want to be an enemy of a Title-level Sea Soul Master at sea.
"Adam" said with some seriousness:
"Hai Yun's older sister, the Sea Witch, is one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God Island, the sixth pillar 'Sea Woman Douluo'."
"However, she usually guards the Sea God's Sacred Pillar on Sea God Island and will not leave easily."
"But if something major happens to the Mermaid race's territory, she is likely to leave the Sacred Pillar and go to rescue."
"Mr. Walter, don't worry. I also have people arranged in the sea area near the Sea Woman Sacred Pillar. If the Sea Witch leaves Sea God Island, I will get the news as soon as possible."
Walter thought for two seconds and asked:
"If you can lure her into my trap, then I have a great chance of killing her."
"But how can you be sure that she will definitely come after you? That the person who comes after you will definitely be her?"
"Adam" said with a smile: "The Mermaid race are all devout believers of the Sea God."
"The treasure they have worshiped for generations is said to be a gem from the former Sea God's crown. It was given to their ancestors by the Sea God and has been passed down to this day."
"Although it has no special power, it is the spiritual sustenance of the Mermaid race. They will not give up on retrieving the gem."
"Hai Yun is the strongest in the Mermaid race's settlement, and only she can catch up with my 'Wave-Breaking Shuttle.'"
The "Wave-Breaking Shuttle" is a Soul Tool that "Adam" specifically purchased for this operation. It can only be ridden by one person, and its advantage is its amazing speed.
Walter took a deep look at "Adam," "Isn't your plan a little too simple?"
"Adam" replied with an unchanged smile:
"Sometimes, the more elaborate the plan, the easier it is to go wrong, while some simple methods can bring unexpected results."
