Chapter 8 Modern Mermaids

Open House at Central Island is a big day at Commonwealth.The three-day open day is the only chance for mermaids from ordinary families to apply to enter the central island.For many families that cannot reach the top nobles, the main mermaid members of the family can also get the opportunity to enter the central island on this day.At the same time, Xingwang TV will broadcast live on Central Island, and you will be able to see many mermaids and beauties who are usually invisible.

When a large number of staff poured into the central island to arrange the open day site, the federal executives finally decided to keep the white-tailed mermaid.This was a rather risky decision, but the Federation was unwilling to give up the ancient mermaid it had obtained—even if there were other ancient mermaids who brought warnings.

Nan Yu, who blocked her own group chat, but obtained information from human brains, said: From ancient times to the present, human beings have not lacked the spirit of adventure (zuo) risk (si).

Counting the opening day of Central Island and the "resurrection" of seafood in large quantities, I hope that the fragile modern mermaid will not be scared to cry by then.

The first colony satellite in orbit around the Earth.The college area belongs to Federal Primary School.

The head teacher stood on the podium and announced to the students the location of the extracurricular practice for next week—unsurprisingly, the central island of the earth.

There was a burst of cheers in the classroom.

Caesar turned his head to the boy at the same table and said, "Look, I just said it's Central Island. This time we can go out to sea by boat, Alan, Alan?" Caesar found that the little friend wasn't listening to him. Patted him on the shoulder.

"What?" Alan's expression was blank, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Caesar took a careful look at Allen, and asked uncertainly, "Is there anything unhappy about you?"

"No—" Shaking his head halfway subconsciously, Allen looked at the serious eyes of the blond boy and lowered his head: "Well, maybe so."

"What happened?" Caesar asked. He couldn't think of any unhappy things that his good friend would encounter. Alan was different from him. He was very good, and the teacher never complained to his parents.

"I..." Allen moved his mouth, wondering if he should say this to Caesar.Grandpa called him into the study last night and informed him that he was going to transfer to another school, because the family decided to let him undergo a conversion operation.Before the operation, he had to transfer to the preschool class of the Mermaid Academy for basic learning and start preoperative conditioning.

In families with few mermaids born naturally, children with low genetic levels are usually transformed into mermaids at a young age for future marriages.At Alan's age, it's actually a little late for a child who has changed since childhood.The reason why such an arrangement was made suddenly was because an acquired mermaid of Hall's family died, and he was killed by a high fever.Fortunately, he was still young, and the family did not set a marriage partner for him, but another mermaid had to fill his place.

So Allen came into Patriarch Hall's sight.Although this child is excellent in liberal arts, his genetic level is not high, and his physical fitness is only D-.Patriarch Hall picked and picked among the children of several grandchildren, and finally chose Alan.In a family that relies on military exploits to become a wealthy family, children with low physical fitness are destined to be ignored.There are no extra resources in the family to pave the way for him in another field.

Caesar waited quietly while Allen was silent.This occasionally bearish kid was really taught to be a gentleman in some ways.

Allen finally told his best friend that he was about to transfer schools.

"Transfer?" Caesar blinked: "It's okay, just change schools, we can still play together."

Allen shook his head: "It's Deep Blue Academy."

Caesar froze.Deep Blue Academy is the official name of the Mermaid Academy. His good friend is going to study at the Mermaid Academy?

"But you—" Caesar stopped talking halfway through, and he saw the sad expression on Allen's face: "You don't want to, do you?"

Alan didn't speak, even if he didn't want to turn into a mermaid again, his family wouldn't give up just yet.He has no capital to resist at all, his father will not challenge grandpa's authority for him, they don't even care about his thoughts.Only Mu's father told him after the matter had no room for turning around: "If you want to do something, then don't care whether you are a human or a mermaid. The only thing that is fragile is the body, and the strength of the heart can bring you strength."

Looking at Caesar's serious face, Allen suddenly said, "If I become a mermaid, are we still good friends?"

"Of course, my best friend is you—Alan Hall, whether he is a human or a mermaid, he is Alan Hall."

"I see." Allen gave Caesar a big hug: "You are also my best friend."

The next day, Caesar did not see his good friend.When he turned his head but couldn't find anyone to talk to, he really realized what Alan's transfer meant.

Before Alan's mermaid surgery was successful and his physical signs stabilized, they couldn't even use the terminal to talk.

For the first time, Caesar found school a bit boring.On this day, when Caesar came home, he saw the preparations for the Central Island Open Day being broadcast on the news, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea.He rushed into his father's study and shot himself into his father's arms like a cannonball.

"Caesar? What's the matter?" Archibald hugged him and turned him upside down.Because it was the youngest son who was born with great difficulty, and compared with his elder brother Rachel, Caesar's personality is too lively, so Archibald and Hyde dote on the youngest son a little bit more.

"Father, Father Mu can go to the preschool class at the Mermaid Academy, right?"

Archibald looked at his son and raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do? Want to find someone for yourself at such a young age? This is not appropriate."

"Father!" Caesar interrupted Archibald in embarrassment: "It's Alan! Alan has transferred to the preschool class of the Mermaid Academy. I haven't seen him for a long time. Can I ask my father to take me to school? look at him?"

"Who is Alan?" Archibald obviously didn't know that his youngest son still had classmates who would transfer to the Mermaid Academy.In his impression, Caesar's friends are all troublemakers, with good physical fitness and love to fight. Children with these characteristics would never undergo mermaid surgery no matter what they think.

"Alan Hall, he was transferred to our class this year."

"Oh, Hall." Saying this, Archibald thought of Lieutenant General Hall who was transferred to the General Staff of the Military Department this year. "He's Bron Hall's son?"

"Nephew. Allen's father is Buden Hall." Caesar said.

Archibald knew that Budden Hall was the second son of General Hall, and Bron's younger brother. Compared with his elder brother, his aptitude was not outstanding, and he did not serve in the military. There is no merit or demerit. Compared with Bron, the ordinary cannot be more ordinary.

"You have a good relationship with Allen?" Archibald glanced at his youngest son, and began to think about it.

Caesar didn't understand his father's intention at all, and nodded while saying: "Yes, we are best friends."

"Don't you dislike playing with children with low strength?"

"Alan looks good!"

Archibald was silent for a few seconds, well, at least his son knows how to appreciate beauty?

Kaiser also realized that this reason was too thin, so he added: "Alan is No.1 in every liberal arts test!" The subtext is that I can copy his homework.

However, Archibald did not get the inner os of his youngest son.So he walked out of the study with Caesar in his arms, called Hyde and told Hyde that they would visit him on Central Island this weekend, and mentioned his youngest son's classmate Allen by the way.

Hyde, who received the call over there, blinked. He couldn't understand what Archibald was thinking. He smiled and said, "Caesar is only so old, isn't it too early?"

"You can take a look first. Speaking of which, it's a childhood sweetheart. How nice."

Hyde hung up the fairy tale with his lover and shook his head helplessly.When Professor He Man walked in, he saw Hyde's slightly raised mouth: "Your Excellency looks very happy?"

"It's my younger son who wants to visit me." Hyde thought for a while, and asked about the children who had undergone the mermaid surgery for the younger son: "Is there any children around the age of 12 in the Deep Blue Academy on Central Island recently?"

Usually, those who do mermaid surgery either undergo conversion surgery when they are three or four years old. The success rate at this stage is the highest, and the physique is healthier after being transformed into a mermaid; He Man quickly had an impression of a 12-year-old child: "There is one, a child from the Hall family."

"He is my youngest son's classmate, is it convenient to visit him this weekend?" Hyde asked.

He Man nodded: "Of course, that child's age is a bit embarrassing. I heard Xiao Lin said that he is not in a good mood. It would be best if someone could enlighten him."

"Didn't his family accompany him?"

"I'm not too sure about this, you can ask Xiao Lin."

"Thank you, Professor He." After Hyde thanked He Man, he planned to go out, but the latter stopped him.

"Wait, Your Excellency."

Hyde: "What's wrong?"

He Man paused before saying: "The ancient mermaid who contacted us a few days ago will send someone over tomorrow, and I would like to invite you and several other lords to attend together."

"Of course no problem. I think other mermaids would be as happy to meet ancient mermaids as I am." Hyde also wanted to take this opportunity to see what it was like to actively communicate with modern humans.

"Also..." He Man rubbed his hands together: "That, uh, mermaid priest, if he is willing, we would like to invite him to attend the meeting."

After He Man finished speaking, Hyde was silent for a while.

After learning that the white-tailed mermaid was the pure-blood priest among the ancient mermaids and that it was very dangerous, they became more cautious towards the white-tailed mermaid. Hyde also tried to win the other party's trust, but without exception, they all ended in failure.However, he also summed up some experience from it. White Tail is completely indifferent to humans, but he is a stranger to mermaids.As long as you don't get close to him, White Tail has a laissez-faire attitude towards mermaids swimming nearby, but humans can't.As long as the waters where White Tail is located, humans don't even think about entering the water.

This phenomenon reminded Hyde of what Cheng Siyu said: "They are not friendly to humans."

They couldn't figure out why, and Nan Yu wouldn't tell them.

Seeing Hyde's expression, He Man also guessed the result, sighed and said, "We can only wait for tomorrow." I hope that the ancient mermaid named Cheng Siyu can bring what they want to know.
