Versatile Mage: The government is over and the system is coming?

Chapter 24 The Legend of the Shark

"Have you ever heard of a shark?"

Jiang Shaojun put his arm around Liu Xuan's shoulders and whispered.

"Isn't that a legend?"

"Who says the legend is not true? I believe that the totem is real!"

Jiang Shaojun snorted and then explained: "The shark beads have many effects. The most miraculous ones are to prolong life and regain youth. Of course, this is just a legend, and I don't know if it is true."

"So scary!"

Liu Xuan clicked his tongue and took a look at the girl's skin. It was indeed tender and delicate, not like a girl from a remote fishing village. No wonder Jiang Shaojun said that the shark beads were worth a lot of money.

If the ladies in the world knew about this, it would be unimaginable how crazy they would be. I am afraid that even being a thief a few times would be feasible!
  "Where did you get these beads?"

Liu Xuan looked at the girl and asked. At first glance, this bead was not a treasure that a fishing village should have. Fortunately, this bead was not discovered by anyone.

Otherwise, he would not be surprised if this fishing village disappeared out of thin air!

Not only do monsters exist in this world, but there is also a lot of dark side of human beings, including human trafficking and illegal activities. China is relatively safe.

"Dad gave it to me," the girl said.

Liu Xuan looked at Jiang Shaojun. He was a mind mage and could judge whether a girl was lying.

After seeing him nod, Liu Xuan then asked: "Where is your father? Where did your father get it from?"

Combining the legends from his previous life, it was not difficult for Liu Xuan to guess that these beads should be the tears of the sharks, which meant that the sharks were real!

Is the shark a human body with a fish tail? Tsk tsk, I am quite interested in seeing it.

The girl glanced at Jiang Shaojun out of the corner of her eye and began to feel coy.

"Every time my dad comes up from the basement, he gives me one of these beads. I don't know what's underneath."

Liu Xuan and Jiang Shaojun looked at each other. This small village actually has a basement. What secrets does this village have?
  The value of a shark bead is enough for all the people in this village to move to the magical city, but they still want to stay in a fishing village full of dangers.

This village is not simple!
  "Can you take us to see it? Don't worry, I won't take your things."

Even though the shark bead was worth a lot of money, Liu Xuan did not have any evil intentions. This treasure could not shake his moral bottom line.

Hearing this, the girl obviously began to hesitate.
  "Let's just go look for it. It should be under that house anyway. We can find it after a little searching. I always feel like they have a big problem."

Jiang Shaojun didn't like to see the girl, and he didn't have a good temper. If he did this once, there would be no psychological burden the second time.

As the two sang, the girl became a little panicked and said hesitantly: "I can take this brother, but this bad guy is not allowed to go."

The "bad guy" she refers to is self-evident and highly referential.

"Hey, let's go to your house, but this guy ordered us."

Jiang Shaojun looked helpless and pointed directly at Liu Xuan.

"I don't care, you're the only one who looks bad."

When the girl heard Jiang Shaojun's threat, she immediately ran behind Liu Xuan and gave Jiang Shaojun a playful smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Shaojun had a big # sign on his forehead.

Don't stop me, I want to teach this wild boy a lesson!

"Okay, just stay at the door. She and I will go down and take a look. You guys should be safe up there." When he said the last sentence, Liu Xuan looked at Jiang Shaojun deeply. After seeing that he understood what he meant, he slowly moved forward. Go to the house in the center of the village.

This house is one of the first in this village. After all, it is one of the few houses built entirely of bricks.

Although there is only one floor, compared with other houses built with wood and bricks, it appears to be much more stable.

After entering the house, Liu Xuan looked at the room. Although the furniture was relatively simple, it was unusually clean.

It's even a little strangely clean, because these walls actually feel like they've been sprinkled with fluorescent powder, and sometimes there's a flickering light that makes this room without lights seem less gloomy.

"Big brother, this way."

Liu Xuan followed the girl to a wooden board with a handle on it, which seemed to be the entrance to the basement.

"Dad warned me not to go down. Brother, you must tell me what's down there when you come up."

The girl looked at Liu Xuan curiously, obviously she was also curious about what was underneath.

Hearing this, Liu Xuan suddenly felt that there must be a big secret underneath.

A wicked smile appeared on Liu Xuan's lips and he said: "Aren't you going down? Your father is not here right now. Maybe there are some rare treasures down there."

Hearing this, the girl felt a little moved, but then she shook her head and refused: "If dad finds out, I won't have any use for this baby in the future."

Liu Xuan was a little surprised, you brought me here, are you still afraid of this?
  But now that the basement was in front of him, Liu Xuan didn't want to waste any time, so he didn't care about these issues.

Opening the wooden board, a dark staircase going down appeared in view. After a little hesitation, Liu Xuan walked down decisively.

After taking two steps, Liu Xuan turned back and said, "Stay here well, wait until I come out and give you a lollipop."

After Liu Xuan walked more than ten steps, a dull clicking sound sounded. Without even thinking about it, he knew it was the sound of the wooden board closing.

What is this girl doing? Is there something wrong with the boss?
  It shouldn't be. With Jiang Shaojun's strength, he can protect himself even if he encounters a commander-level demon.

If something really happened above, there would be some noise. Forget it, let’s figure out the situation below first.

After casually creating a Guangyao, Liu Xuan also saw clearly the layout below.

This basement is about ten meters below the room. This space is beyond Liu Xuan's expectation. It is simply bigger than the village above!

Could it be that the village above is just their disguise? If this is the case, the entire Fishman Village is a huge conspiracy!
  Thinking of this possibility, Liu Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

"Why does it smell like blood?"

Liu Xuan smelled this smell when he first came to the fishing village, but it wasn't until he came to this basement that he could tell that it was not the smell of fish, but the smell of blood.

This basement seems to be connected to every house above, which is a bit exaggerated. It cannot be done without some technology!

Following the wall, Liu Xuan walked forward step by step. The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger. These walls had been reinforced and there was still the smell of magic on them.

"This village won't be full of mages."

Liu Xuan secretly cursed, it was really weird down there, there was an aura of magic everywhere, this was no longer the work of one person!

"!!!"

"Mermaid? Shark?"
