from the deep sea

The sea has been very lively these days, and Mu Nai City has been releasing news about modern humans and modern mermaids.Regarding Mu Nai's encrypted sound waves, the temple said: We really are not eavesdropping, we are listening openly.

Under the influence of high mental strength, the temple mermaid who seems to have the master key often accidentally overhears some encrypted conversations.

Like now.

In the white sand corridor in front of the Temple of Atlantis, the purebloods of the temple are chattering boredly.

"Cheng Siyu sent someone to have a meeting with the human beings. We've reached the port now." An Fei showed a funny expression on his face: "You guys say, how about we go and do something now?"

"Troubleshooting?" Boyce, who was quite keen on these two words, his eyes lit up: "Take me, take me, I want to make trouble!"

Thetis: "Anfei, speak your mind."

"I have no idea, I just want to make trouble." The latter spread his hands with an innocent expression.

After hearing the words, Saine leaned over and said, "I heard that human beings are doing some activities, do you want to have a buffet?"

"Can I see my brother?" Nan Luo only wanted his brother.

Anfei thought for a while and said, "You can bring him back to share our joys and sorrows."

"Then it's settled, I'm going to make an announcement." Wendell's tail bounced up, swam halfway and then folded back: "Wait, go today? Or when humans are engaged in activities?"

"Do you want to eat buffet? There is no activity today." Dong Sheng grabbed a handful of sand, and the soft white sand leaked from between his fingers: "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten enough."

"Didn't you mean to make trouble?" Boyce patted Anfei with his tail: "Make trouble, make trouble!"

"Do you want to make trouble or eat?" Dorothy, who was braiding Anfei's hair, pressed on his fishtail rudely.

An Fei pulled out her own tail from under the two fish tails: "Hey, go play with the dolphins for a while if you're bored, and don't disturb my sister doing her hair."

"My friend, if my memory is correct, did you mention it first?"

"Save your strength, you know, our officiant is very difficult to catch. Do you want the officiant to share weal and woe with us?" Anfei looked at Boyce with a look of hatred.

The latter was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Why don't we go eat rice too?"

"Has your IQ been eaten by yourself?"

"Where's the face?"

"We don't want to lose face, do we?"

Looking at the daily life of his brothers and sisters, the young boy in Nanluo deeply felt that there was no normal person in the temple—except his own brother and himself.

-

The central island of the earth, the beach behind the mermaid center building.

Considering the habits of ancient mermaids, the temporary meeting place was deliberately chosen to be very close to the sea.The federation's conference staff dressed up the venue very warmly, like an afternoon tea party, and they hoped that in this way, the ancient mermaids would relax their vigilance.

In addition to the high-level members of the federation, there were also high-level mermaids from the mermaid association, but Cheng Siyu from the ancient mermaid did not come in person.

What came was a heavy species with blue fish scales, his name was Dong Qing.Dongqing brought a large number of teams. This time, humans saw some non-solid-colored mermaids with colorful fish tails. Not long after drinking the potion they carried with them that hit the conch, the fish tails turned into legs. .

Curiosity and thirst for knowledge in the eyes of human beings are about to become real, and some mermaid experts can't wait to rush forward and ask: "What is this? A magic potion that can turn fish tails into legs?" The eyes of modern mermaids are also fixed. Looking at them, if this type of potion can have an effect on ancient mermaids, does that mean they can also transform their legs?

Dong Qing, who was leading the team, ignored those enthusiastic gazes. He was different from the intermediate species who needed to switch medicines. The mermaid was born with the ability to change its fish tail and legs freely, so he landed ashore one step earlier than the intermediate species.Like Cheng Siyu, he wore a soft blue cloth around his waist. Sharp-eyed humans noticed that the cloth Dong Qing wore was different from the last batch of mermaids who came ashore—not just the difference in color, but also In terms of materials, from a visual point of view, the blue cloth on Dongqing's waist is softer than the dark green cloth of other mermaids.

Facing the superiors in the modern state organs, Dong Qing did not appear timid at all. He was tall, and his fishtail turned into legs was taller than most generals. Therefore, when he glanced over, people couldn't help feeling the pressure of being scrutinized.

A moment of hesitation flashed in He Man's heart, this cyan mermaid and Cheng Siyu didn't seem to be on the same side.

Dong Qing led the intermediate species to introduce themselves briefly, and everyone walked to the meeting place, while the rest of the mermaids stayed in the water.

A congressman asked whether it was necessary to provide a resting place for the mermaids in the water, but was rejected by Dongqing: "The guards behind you also need to rest?"

The congressman was suddenly speechless.

Hyde looked at the mermaids whom Dong Qing called guards, and couldn't help sighing: "Such a strong body is a distant dream for us."

Another mermaid next to him heard the words: "The closer you look at them, the more you envy them. If we can also have such a physique—"

"Meng Yao!" Hyde firmly grasped his wrist, the other's eyes were too revealing.

Sure enough, Dong Qing, who was walking in front, turned around. He glanced at Meng Yao who was sitting in the mermaid car, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Envy? I hope you can accept the accompanying blood and killing." It's over." "Do you know why the ancient mermaids have good physiques? Because those who are weak—" Dong Qing looked at the expressions of everyone and said, "They are all dead."

When he said the words "all dead" coldly, He Man finally knew the difference between this ancient mermaid named Dong Qing and Cheng Siyu.

Cheng Siyu gave people the feeling of gentleness, even when he was a stranger, he was still like a spring breeze, while Dong Qing was indifferent. Under his business-like attitude, he was alienated from human beings. There is no sense of identity with fellow citizens.

A group of people came to the meeting place, but Dong Qing's eyes were fixed on a place a little far away.

It was an outdoor seawater pool, with a flash of bright white.Dong Qing paused, then walked towards the seawater pool.

Nan Yu, who was asked by Hyde in the morning if he would like to go out to bask in the sun: Oh, as long as it’s not Cheng Siyu.

Dong Qing walked to the edge of the pool, bent down and bowed to Nan Yu: "Master Priest."

He spoke the modern lingua franca, which gave Nan Yu enough face in front of modern humans.

however……

The priest didn't appreciate it.

With a flick of his tail, his face was splashed with water, and he let out an inexplicable "heh."

The latter calmly wiped off the water droplets on his face, and still lowered his head to talk to Nan Yu: "Master, Dong Sheng..."

"Who?" Nan Yu's raised tone seemed a little careless.

Dong Qing paused, and said, "My brother, is he alright?"

"Do you think life in the temple is difficult?"

"No." Dong Qing immediately denied, "I just want to know—"

"But I don't want to tell you." Nan Yu interrupted Dong Qing's words lying on the edge of the pool: "You are also very strange, what do you want to do when you are crowded in a group of intermediate species? In 1 years, the world has changed, and you are still with Cheng Si. Yu played house?"

Listening to Nan Yu's words, Dong Qing was in a trance for a moment.He didn't want to tell Nan Yu that the reason for not going to the temple was largely because of his unspeakable thoughts for Dong Sheng.

"It's up to you." Nanyu flicked his tail and swam away: "You have only one choice, Shendian or Mu Nai."

The two of them used the language of ancient times. The humans behind them were confused, but the mermaids in the middle understood it.Yan Mu, the deputy team leader of this meeting, glanced at Dong Qing worriedly. In Mu Nai, where the number of mermaids is extremely rare, Dong Qing's strength even exceeds that of the city lord Cheng Siyu. Nai is even more difficult.

Thinking of this, he yelled loudly: "Lord Dongqing." He interrupted the latter's meditation.When Dong Qing looked at him indifferently, Yan Mu clenched his fist nervously.

Fortunately, Dong Qing didn't say anything.After casually nodding to the human side, the two sides entered into a period of formal talks.

Because of the previous mental scan, humans do not need to introduce their current social structure to the ancient mermaids, but the ancient mermaids have to conduct knowledge popularization for humans.

The first lesson to bear the brunt of is correcting the history of modern humanity.

"After the asteroid hit the earth, the ancient mermaids you think extended a helping hand to humans. I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings." After Dong Qing opened his head, he gave Yan Mu the next explanation.

Yan Mu glanced at him and talked about the original appearance of history.

"When the asteroid fell, the temple warned all the mermaids. The priest called the mermaids to enter the deep sea, and then the sea god's power covered the entire ocean. This is why the sea was frozen. The ice barrier with the sea god's power All the damage to the ocean has been eliminated, and all creatures in the sea have entered a long sleep to wait for the disaster to pass.

Humans on land have nothing to do with us.But there are some mermaids in Muna who have a close relationship with humans. Maybe they didn't have time to return to the sea, or maybe they were reluctant to part with their human relatives or lovers, so they were left on land.These mermaids should be what you think of as ancient mermaids. "

"In addition, we don't know what happened to cause you to be left with only male mermaids, and male mermaids also have the ability to reproduce, but in our group, mermaids are divided into males and females. Only female mermaids can give birth to offspring. Of course, male and If males want a child, one of them can choose to eat the fruit of the twin tree. But a fruit has only one chance to conceive."

"We have a general understanding of the characteristics of modern mermaids, and found that they are very different from us. So I will explain here. We, the ancient mermaids in your mouth, are roughly divided into three categories. According to the fish tail According to different colors, the one with the largest base is the mixed species, followed by the intermediate species. These two types of mermaids are mostly mixed colors or stripes. The former is the most common mermaid, and the latter has more or less abilities.

Above the middle species is the heavy species at the top of the ancient mermaid group.The mermaids of the double species are all solid colors and are rare in number, but their strength far surpasses the former two.Among the double species, there is another type of mermaid called pure blood.Pureblood merfolk only have two colors - gold and silver. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the modern humans and mermaids present all thought of the golden tail that had escaped.

The federal leader glanced at He Man, who adjusted his glasses and asked, "Your Excellency, is there only one group of ancient mermaids in the sea?"
