Mermaids are a strange race. Their upper body is like a human, and their lower body is like a fish. They have sharp claws and webbed toes. They can dive to the deep seabed, but they are not real fish. If they cannot float up for a long time The sea breathes, and they also drown.

Male mermaids have no fixed residence and will wander around the entire ocean, while females live in groups in the Reef Sea, which is a large area of ​​sea covered with coral reefs to the south of Nevermind Island. They will live with their sisters, mothers and even grandmothers for life , raising offspring together with the family as a unit.

Mermaids are probably the most common race of same-sex intimacy in the entire Feanor world. Early scholars or sailors described them as "unfettered like dolphins". In fact, if you learn more about them, you will find that they are not so casual, at least their The opposite sex is never casual.

Because men do not need to intervene in parenting, mermaid women may be the most picky women in the world of Fei Nuo. Less than 5% of male mermaids are lucky enough to leave their offspring. Under their strict selection from generation to generation, everything is wrong. Mermaids with split dates and tone-deaf will be eliminated. Each generation of mermaids has the most charming appearance and clear singing voice, so human beings are easily fascinated by this mysterious race in the ocean. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia · Humanoid Creatures"

Palos thanked him, and stepped up to follow Avondel. In fact, he was more familiar with this place than the mage. He walked to the left from the back door of the cathedral. Passing the small garden were some low-key but luxurious suites. Some important guests of the church stayed temporarily, such as envoys from various countries. He had served as a guard at the door more than once, but it was the first time he lived in it as a tenant.

When Evandel walked through the garden where there were no living things, he stretched out his hand to support the wall, looking a little weak or dizzy, Palos instinctively wanted to reach out to help him, and thinking of his current identity, he could only He lowered his arms resentfully.

He felt he had to say something: "...I'm sorry."

"what happened?"

"The last time the demons promised to come to Feanor's world and bring light to you, but they finally missed the appointment for the same reason as the gods. It must have been a difficult time for you, and I'm sorry for that."

"Fortunately, I didn't expect much at first." Evandel added, "It's the same this time."

"After Balutan's death, the other demon leaders focused on competing for its territory. They haven't discovered the secret cooperation between the gods and demons yet, but they will know soon, and they will definitely ignore it at that time. Attack Twilight Castle crazily, I only hope that before that, we can complete the plan."

"I hope so, this is probably the last chance."

They had already arrived while they were talking. Palos felt that the road was too long just now, and it would take a lot of time and energy for Evandel to go in and out. Now he hates that the road is too short, so that he can't say a few words to Evandel. The mage just talked to him with an ordinary attitude like this, which is already a rare thing for him.

It wasn't until he watched Evandel enter his room that Palos looked away reluctantly, and walked towards the suite next to him with complicated emotions, but bumped his head against the door frame, scaring the two young priests next to him to rush over to help him: "You It's okay!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Palos shook his hand in embarrassment and refused their support. He was still not used to his height, which was half a head taller than before, and he often forgot that there were two extra horns on his head. As I walked, I bumped the horns into some places where the head should not be hit by visual inspection.

All the preparatory work on the human side has been done, and it has been done more than once. The only thing Avandel needs to do now is to take a good rest. After all, it is conceivable that the spell that only he can afford will not be easy. work.

Avandell also wanted to get back to his best condition as soon as possible, but the illness and insomnia were tormenting him all the time. He continued to have a low-grade fever, lost his appetite, was in a daze when he woke up, and started having nightmares as soon as he fell asleep. Two days later, his mental state not only did not improve, but worsened.

Alkai and Phils would sometimes visit him between patrolling and hunting demons, but the concern of his friends could not help him fight insomnia and anxiety. The priests gave him herbal tea that could calm the nerves and help him sleep every day. It did improve his condition, but only to a limited extent.

Many people are paying close attention to his physical condition, even the demon king who lives next door, they have done everything they can to take care of him as best they can, but this will not help anything but make Evandel more anxious No.

He can force himself to eat and drink medicine, but he can't force himself to sleep, and it doesn't work to use magic to make himself fall asleep. Sleeping technique will only make the victim wake up with a splitting headache, which is worse than not sleeping.

Evandel did everything he could. He isolated himself from all visits, forced himself to eat a lot of food and herbs that had the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, and lay on the bed wrapped in a quilt day and night trying to fall asleep. He tried Counting sheep, trying to read the most difficult ancient magic books, but it was useless. As time went by, he became more and more anxious.

On the second night, Palos, who was also unable to sleep because of his preoccupation, heard the sound of something falling to the ground from the next door. He sat up suddenly, and then heard more smashing sounds.

Palos hurried out of the door and saw the guarding Templars and the priest on duty surrounded outside at a loss. The door of Avondel's room had already been knocked open by them, but there was no fighting inside, only the mage He was frantically smashing the silver kettles, vases, books and all the items he could pick up in the room to the ground.

The impression of Evandel in the mind of Palos has always been elegant, calm and wise. Palos has never seen him so hysterical, and the people around him are also stunned. No one dares to go up to stop the mad mage. Only Palos rushed in and grabbed the mage's wrists: "Evandel, calm down!"

"Let go! Do you think you are the devil and I dare not attack you?"

Palos didn't let go, but hugged the mage tightly, letting Evandel struggle in his arms angrily: "I know you are very anxious now, but you will only hurt yourself like this."

"Don't worry about it! Who do you think you are!"

"It's not your fault that you can't sleep, don't blame yourself anymore, if the condition is really bad, we can wait two days before opening the portal,"

"What do you know?! Not to mention waiting for two days, waiting for an extra hour may make the situation worse. If a few more archmages from the gods or demons die during my delay, the world will really end. !"

"Okay, okay, I know you're under a lot of pressure, I know." Palos couldn't say any more comforting words, he could only lock the mage firmly in his arms, patted him on the back, and hoped that he would calm down.

In fact, Evandel also knew that it would be useless to make such a fuss. He was just so anxious that he couldn't control himself. After a lot of beating and venting, and exhausted his energy in the fierce struggle, he finally calmed down as if discouraged. , said wearily: "Let go."

Seeing that he was no longer struggling, Palos really had no reason to hold him anymore, so he let go of his hand. After calming down, Evandel looked doubly tired and depressed. He walked towards the door: "I'll change the room."

The Templars and priests consciously moved out of the way. There are many suites that have not been smashed. Evandel walked into a room randomly, and Palos followed him in a mysterious way, and bumped against the door frame when entering the door. I clicked the corner.

He bowed his head in embarrassment and walked in the door, closing the door behind him, hoping that Evandel hadn't noticed his embarrassment, and looking back, Evandel stared at him with an unfriendly expression: "What else do you have?" thing?"

Palos belatedly remembered his current identity. It is not a matter of course for the king of the demons to enter Avandel's room. He looked around nervously, avoiding Avandel's sight: "I, I'm just a little worried about you."

"No, thank you." Evandel's tone was very bad, and Palos knew that he would treat everyone like this when he was not rested, so he didn't take it to heart at all: "If I can do something to make you feel better, Please tell me."

"Your enthusiasm is a bit too much, Lord Demon King." Evandel said with a frown.

"I..." Palos looked at the ground in embarrassment. As a "collaborator" who had only met the mage for a few days, he was indeed too enthusiastic, but what can he do?He couldn't help but want to get close to the mage like a moth to a flame, and that kind of mood couldn't be restrained by reason.

Many excuses floated through his mind. For example, he could pretend to be the suitor who was fascinated by the mage at first sight, so that he would have sufficient reasons to approach Avandel and care about the mage, and maybe he could hide it from the mage. Those unbearable pasts led to a new relationship with Evandel as a demon king.

But the lie would still be exposed after all, he didn't want to lie to Avandell again, and he didn't want to live in a lie with fear, not even for the chance to be with Avondell.

Palos decided to tell the truth.

He mustered up the courage to look up into Evandel's eyes: "I'm sorry, Evandel, in order not to affect your mood at this time, I haven't told you all this time, and it's hard to believe, actually... ...I am Palos."
