52. Tina Sebastian

Tina Sebastian said that her grandparents built this place, which was quite convincing.

In the wizarding world, there are many hybrids of wizards and magical animals.

The most numerous ones are Veela, followed by sirens among mermaids.

They are mainly humanoid creatures. Especially female humanoids that conform to male aesthetics.

It is said that fire dragons are not picky, and these wizards are no exception.

There are many famous hybrid wizards in history, but there are not many like Professor Flitwick and Hagrid.

Most of them will be like Fleur or Tina in front of me.

It's hard to tell that they are much different from humans in appearance. What they inherit from the bloodline of magical creatures is something else.

Fleur can enchant, but Tina can only live forever.

This is a very magical thing because neither humans nor mermaids live long, but hybrids of humans and mermaids have a long life. This strange example was recorded in ancient books, and unfortunately, Aurelius saw it in a book of black magic.

Immortality is always one of the motivations for some dark wizards to study black magic.

Looking at Tina, who looks like twenty years old, she might be old enough to be Aurelius' Grandma.

"I wonder why Miss Tina came to us?" Aurelius asked.

He was not interested in how long Tina Sebastian had lived, he wanted to know why she was in front of them.

Are you attracted to Aurelius or Carlos?

Do not make jokes!

Aurelius didn't think he was ugly, but he didn't overestimate his charm either.

And he also knew that the mermaid hybrid not only lived forever, but also inherited the Siren's cold personality.

In other words, the warm and hospitable woman in front of me is a seductive creature even more alluring than Nagini.

"Of course, I'm greeting the guests, are you interested?" Tina Sebastian heard that Aurelius' tone was not quite right, so she immediately changed her words and took out a piece of delicate paper that emitted a special fragrance.

"Hmm - it smells so good." Carlos eagerly took the small piece of paper. Aurelius looked at it intently. Did Carlos want to touch that fragile and delicate hand?

Carlos was enchanted, and it wasn't a normal fascination, it was as if he was under some sort of spell.

He didn't even look at the card when he received it, or worse yet, he simply followed it with a squinted gaze. Aurelius let out a soft snort, causing Carlos to suddenly fall to the ground. Looking at Tina Sebastian, he said, "It seems you're ahead of the others. A mermaid hybrid possesses abilities comparable to those of a Veela."

"Don't you find this charming, little brother?" Tina smiled, her fingers gliding over her white neck and collarbone.

Leaning over, Aurelius took the small card from Carlos's hand. It was delicate, with beautiful fonts written in Latin and English: Fish House.

"Would you like to go? You'll experience everything a man could dream of there," Tina Sebastian said, her red lips opening slightly with a captivating aura.

"Has Siren fallen to this point? Has he been forced to engage in such business?" Aurelius remarked casually.

"Well, we're just delicate girls with no strength to restrain ourselves. What are we supposed to do if we want to survive in this Siren City?"

"In that case, you should find some wealthy men. We're just circus performers. You've got the wrong person," Aurelius waved his hand, pulling Carlos up from the ground and leading him back to the ship.

Tina Sebastian held her wine glass and shook it before speaking softly, "How can someone who can't keep up with me be nothing more than a handyman?"

"I agree, there's another dangerous person in Siren City."

A fishtail stirred up water from the fountain as a siren, who appeared no weaker than Tina, emerged from the water.

"Claire also mentioned that this person was a bit frightening," Pertz added.

"My people have informed me that his name is Aurelius, and he is the backup animal trainer for the circus. Why would such a character, who even makes Leviathan tremble, want to be associated with a circus?" Tina seemed troubled.

"Will he disrupt our plans?"

Tina hesitated, unsure. "I don't know, let's wait and see. I want to try to seduce him to see what he knows, but he seems completely unaffected by my magic. And...I can feel it, there's a very evil and terrifying force within him."

Tina shook her head. "It seems they'll only be staying in Siren for about a week. Let's postpone our plans for ten days. If he's just passing through, then we don't need to worry."

"Alright, but what if he's an intruder?"

Determination flashed in Tina's eyes. "No one can stop me! I don't want to prove how great I am, I want to show others that I must regain what I've lost!"

...

In the cabin, Aurelius handed Carlos a cup of coffee.

He had a slight headache, a side effect from earlier.

"Did I do that just now?" Carlos couldn't believe it.

"What else? A small piece of paper almost took your soul away," Aurelius replied, withdrawing his gaze from the window.

"Oh my god! This is so embarrassing!" Carlos covered his face.

The clown who entertained the audience on stage with tricks was somewhat introverted. Perhaps because he doesn't care about his image on stage, he pays special attention to his off-stage persona.

"It's nothing. It's just like the siren's song. You're just under a spell. You'll be fine after you sleep."

"Okay, what a nightmare!" Carlos took the coffee and left Aurelius' room in despair.

Aurelius gazed out the window, where Tina stood, and she responded with a friendly, polite smile.

"It is indeed the gateway to the city of chaos - the seemingly peaceful upper city is teeming with crises." Aurelius returned the gesture, closed the curtains, and sighed.

Thanks to his habit of obscuring his thoughts, otherwise he might have been deceived as well.

Skender's warning was accurate.

When you're out and about, there's always a crisis at every turn, and sometimes you don't even know why.

But it appears that Tina is just here to test him and has no further intentions.

That's it, Aurelius didn't bother to care.

On the contrary, he wanted to know more. How did the Leviathan named Claire discover him?

Yes, that's right, Aurelius had heard the entire conversation between Tina and Pertz through the black mist he had left there. He wouldn't be so magnanimous as to pretend it never happened.
