Hatchet line

Chapter 67 The Mermaid Legend ([-])

The old man left Wen Yu in the hut, climbed down the ladder to the center of the village, and rang the big bell in the center of the village.

After a while, the whole village gathered in this square after hearing the bell.The old man said something to those villagers in the square.Then those people started a heated argument.Wen Yu learned from their faint conversation that this old man is the elder of the village. Although he is not involved in managing the affairs of the village, his status is higher than that of the village head.

About an hour later, their discussion was finally completed, and Wen Yu could tell from the face of the old man who was walking back that he had succeeded.

After returning to the hut, the old man handed Wen Yu a seal of oath signed by the whole village and sworn in the name of the God of the World.

"This is the chapter of the oath. It will not be broken even in the water and fire. It is permanent and valid. If you violate the oath, all people will be destroyed overnight by the god of the world. I think there is The mermaids will trust you after this." The old man solemnly handed over the contract to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu nodded after confirming the attributes of the chapter of the oath, turned around and left the hut.

"That's right! Girl, I'll have someone prepare a boat to take you to the surface of the sea!" The old man called her loudly behind her.

"No need, I can fly to the sea." Wen Yu shook his head with a smile, and called out Guan Guan.

Even if Guan Guan's ears are plugged in advance, Wen Yu can give him orders through his heart.

After a while, after flying over the reef above the sea, Wen Yu searched for traces of the mermaid.

Right above, you can see a few fish-like things floating up and down from the depths of the sea. Those should be mermaids.

One of Wen Yu's ears had already been stuffed with a cotton cloth in advance, and she nervously clutched the other cotton cloth, ready to stuff it into her ear at any time.

Fortunately, although those beautiful mermaids floated their heads out of the water, they showed no signs of wanting to sing. Unlike the spoof mermaids encountered on the Danube before, most of them were women, and their upper bodies were wearing something similar to clothes , not holding a bubble bath towel in his hand.

"I'm an adventurer passing by, I hope to talk to your leader." Wen Yu said loudly to the following.

Hearing Wen Yu's words, the mermaids dived into the water, chattering and discussing.After a while, one of the mermaids emerged from the water again and asked Wen Yu, "What do you want from our king?"

"I came from that island and know what the people on the island have done to you. I am here now to get your understanding."

"Forgive?! What a joke! Where were you when our compatriots died? What did those humans do to us? How can we forgive such things!" The mermaids were angry, and they shouted at Wenyu one by one. cried out.

"I know what they have done, although they may not be all that is true to me, but one thing I know, a lot of people have died on both sides of you. I want to ask you a question, if you continue to be in this stalemate, it will be harmful How are you both doing?"

"What's wrong? The sea is our homeland, and letting those humans go into the sea is already the greatest tolerance for them! And they are greedy, and raised their arms against us for the sake of pearls! This is our place, and we will never allow They're coming in again!"

Wen Yu patted Guan Guan and let it drop to a flat rock, then stood up and squatted on it.She knew that if she wanted to talk to people who were hostile to her and make them believe in her, her first priority was to put herself on an equal footing with them.At least they can't fly over their heads like they are now, making them look up at themselves with anger.

Sure enough, seeing Wen Yu's behavior, the anger on the faces of those mermaids became less. In their hearts, at least they felt the respect of this human girl for themselves, and Wen Yu had received a lot of attention from the invisible beast mission before. A lot of animal intimacy, this intimacy will make kind creatures more willing to approach her.

"I understand your feelings. The reason why I came here is not just for the sake of human beings. I hope to resolve the hatred between you two. Because the hatred will accumulate more and more, and in the end, even the parties involved will often ignore some things. The reason for the beginning is that what happens later will hurt both parties more seriously." Looking at the mermaids around me, they gathered more and more, and it seemed that the number became more than before.Wen Yu took a deep breath, straightened his words and continued: "I know that they have crossed the dividing line set by the two of you for their own benefit. I have already discussed this matter with them, and they will never cross it again in the future. That line..."

"How can you be sure they will abide by this?" a male mermaid asked, and the other merfolk nodded.

"Because I brought this." As he spoke, Wen Yu took out the chapter of the oath from his waist bag and read it: "In the name of the God of the World, all residents of the Ampurus Islands hereby Oath: Out of desire for money, we abandoned our former neighbors. After getting the result at the cost of our lives, we finally realized our mistakes. From now on, we will strictly abide by the previous boundaries, with red coral as the boundary, No longer violate the scope of our honored neighbors, no longer take the initiative to attack, provoke, or take any action related to this. And hope to get the understanding of our neighbors, the mermaid family. God of the world, please do for our oath proof." followed by a long list of names.

The mermaids were silent. This chapter of the oath is absolutely fair and supreme in the game.After a while, the male mermaid asked again: "This is just their one-sided statement. We feel that we can't let those who have hurt our compatriots go away like this."

"I have a question, I hope you can help me answer it, can you?" Wen Yu said with a smile, the mermaids didn't know why she said that, but they nodded in confusion, "If, there is a mermaid who is Other creatures—such as the harm of human beings—don’t care who caused the dispute. Then it returns to the bottom of the sea and finds your compatriots for help. Will you help it immediately and find rewards for the thing that hurt it? "

"Of course..." The mermaids felt that this question seemed too simple and a little idiotic, and they all said to Wen Yu with strange eyes.

"Then will human beings react in the same way after encountering such a situation?" Wen Yu asked again.

"You are a human being yourself. I believe you know the answer. Of course... Ah! I think I understand what you mean." The male mermaid's eyes suddenly lit up.
