[Comprehensive] There's a guy who always wants to pull me into the water

Eli is not a procrastinating character. After a careful discussion with Claire, the future cooperation was finalized.

But everything has to wait for him to prepare the first potion and send it to confirm the effect before it can start. As for where Claire will find the sea tribe to test the potion, it is not Eli's concern.

After leaving Claire's shop, the mermaid took Eli to the next place.

Claire's residence was remote enough, but the place they went to was even more difficult to find. It was located under the trench, and there was nothing around it except a dark hole for one person to enter and exit.

Outside the entrance of the cave, there are a few weird deep-sea fish hidden on the bottom of the sea. When they approached, they sprang out suddenly. Their huge mouth full of sharp teeth bit them fiercely, but they were swung by the mermaid's tail with quick eyes and hands. The head of the beaten fish turned sideways, and the next moment, the sharp nails pierced the internal organs from the gills of the fish, and lost its life struggling.

This is the first time Eli saw the mermaid's merciless attack, the simple to rough attack was full of wildness, a trace of disdain flowed from the cold face, the mermaid shook his hand, and threw out the dead fish hanging from his hand , have no desire to keep this ugly fish for dinner.

"It's here, go in."

This is the residence of the sea witch Ursula. After the death of the owner, this place completely becomes a no-man's land and becomes a cave for some sea creatures.

The mermaid's night pearl acts as the only light source, and the entrance of the cave is too narrow, so they can only swim in one after the other.

Fortunately, after passing through the initial narrow passage, the inside became wider and wider.

It's just that one person and one fish who originally planned to come to pick up the leak knew that this time it was for nothing after seeing the situation in the cave clearly.

There are traces left after rummaging through boxes and cabinets everywhere, and it seems that all useful things have been taken away, leaving only a mess.

"We are late, it seems that someone took away all the useful things first." The mermaid reluctantly wandered around in the caves that were divided into different purposes but connected together, hoping to Find something useful.

But no, the treasure hunters who were one step ahead of them seemed to be very familiar with this place, not even a single drop of useful potion or material was left behind.

Eli was very calm, without any sense of disappointment. He picked up an empty bottle on the ground—because of the need to brew potions, the place in the cave used to refine potions was sealed off from seawater. Magic, although the master is no longer there, but the magic will not disappear in a short time.

The empty bottle happened to fall in that field, so the last trace of the potion smell still lingered in the bottle.

He sniffed the smell and boasted: "The level is really good."

"It's a pity that it's not in the right place." The mermaid who found nothing came back to him: "Ursula was responsible for taking care of and educating the seven princesses in the palace before being driven away by His Majesty, but she has always coveted His Majesty's rights and is always there. Thinking about the trident, she was expelled from the mermaid country——Atlantica after being discovered by His Majesty, but I didn’t expect that she was still ruthless, and now she is reaping the fruits of her own will.”

Although Al has inherited part of the cruelty and ferocity of the sea monster, he still has some enthusiasm for his fellows (only referring to the mermaids). Some of Sulla's actions were particularly offensive.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to snatch Ursula's potion back then, and now he wants to search for her inheritance even more.

"The other party is probably an acquaintance of Ursula. All the places where things could be hidden have been searched, and nothing useful has been left even in the crevices of the rocks."

Eli threw the bottle away: "Ursula, the sea witch, doesn't sound like a nice guy to make friends with. Does she have any relatives?"

"It seems to have a younger sister." The mermaid thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Mogina, but their relationship is not very good. Although Ursula is very annoying, her potion level is very high, and she is very famous in the bottom of the sea. And her sister Mogina is terrible. Claire complained to me that every time Mogina went to him to sell potions that were the most common and of poor quality, if it wasn’t for the fact that the other party was a sea witch, it would be better. There is a powerful sister who is not easy to offend, and he doesn't even want to change a bottle."

"Then it is estimated that she was the one who took the things."

Since they didn't receive the goods, they naturally wouldn't stay here any longer.

It's getting late at this time, and the next day they will go to the little princess's full moon banquet. Considering that there is still a lot of time in the future, the mermaid will not take Eli to continue to visit the mermaid city, but go back first rest.

On the way, the mermaid was still a little worried about Eli's transformation: "Your potion has a time limit, right? You won't stay in the sea for a long time and suddenly change back?"

"Don't worry, what I drank is for three days. If you want to stay longer, you can drink more." How could Eli not be fully prepared.

Only then did the mermaid feel relieved, but she still warned: "Remember that the eye of the sea beast must not leave the body, it is safer." If it suddenly changes back, without the help of the eye of the sea beast, Eli will be drowned directly, even before it is too late Resists sea pressure on the seabed.

After returning to the mermaid’s residence, Al began to get busy getting food for Eli. When he was on the sea, he would always give Eli the freshest and most delicious prey he caught, and this time was no exception. Now at the bottom of the sea, there was no way to make a fire, so the mermaid cut a plate of salmon slices by himself, went out and exchanged his collection and other mermaids for sea grapes, which are very rare in this sea area, and sent them to Eli.

The meat of the salmon is tight and delicious, and the pink fish is full of elasticity. Even if no seasoning is added, it is still very delicious.

Sea grape is an alien species brought back by some mermaids from other sea areas. Although it is called sea grape, it is a kind of green algae, because its upright stems are covered with crystal clear spherical bodies, which look like bunches of green grapes. It got its name, but its taste is as rich and juicy as caviar, so it is also called green caviar.

Eli often eats salmon, and the mermaid will give him this delicious fish five or six times out of ten, but sea grapes are grown by other mermaids, and Eli has never eaten it, so he is soon impressed by the deliciousness of this food attracted.

Seeing that he likes it, the mermaid began to consider whether to ask other fish for advice, and it would be better to try to grow it by himself later.

The time for a meal passed quickly, and Eli, who was full, was dragged by the mermaid to rest on the only reef bed. If he was still in human form, such a hard bed without a warm quilt would be uncomfortable to sleep on. But now they are half-human, half-fish, being supported by the sea water all the time. When they close their eyes, they can feel the gentleness and delicateness of the water soothing their bodies, as if they have returned to the mother's body.

Before he knew it, Eli fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, the tail of the fish he transformed with the potion was unconsciously entangled with the tail of the mermaid beside him.

The mermaid quietly looked at his sleeping face for a long time, finally closed her eyes in satisfaction, hugged him and fell asleep.

The next day, noise outside the house woke them up.

The celebration banquet is already in the final preparations.

Michael next door knocked on the door of the mermaid's house, and when he saw the mermaid opened the door, he didn't look at his displeasure at all, but said excitedly: "Your Majesty said that today he will go to the sea to meet Princess Ariel and little Melody. Princess, we have to go early, or we won't get the front seat. I can't wait to meet the little princess. I wonder if she is as beautiful as Princess Ariel, and will she be as beautiful as Queen Athena Very similar."

Michael swam away after talking a lot on his own, and then Eli, who came out, happened to hear what he said behind him, and looked at the mermaid with some doubts: "Queen Athena? Did he mean the goddess of war?"

"No, it's the mermaid queen who has the same name as that goddess. She used to be the most beautiful among mermaids, but she passed away due to an accident a long time ago." The mermaid explained, "Let's go, if you are interested, you can go and see Look at Princess Ariel, she is the one who resembles Her Majesty the Queen the most among the seven princesses, she also has long wine red hair and emerald green eyes, and because of this, His Majesty the King loves her so much."

Burgundy hair and emerald green eyes?This appearance seems a little familiar, and Eli was thinking about it when he was pulled by the mermaid's arm and swam out.

"You'll have to find some way to grab a spot, we probably won't have time to slow down for breakfast, but I'll catch you a nice fish on the way, which do you like? Salmon or tuna? Or something else? If we want to eat sea grapes, we'll probably have to take another detour."

"I don't pick, I don't need to detour, just grab whatever you come across."

So they caught a tuna that was just hunting on the road. This tuna was more than 1.6 meters long. After catching it, the mermaid only took off the most tender and delicious part, and threw the rest away, and soon smelled blood. The school of carnivorous fish that arrived had eaten the tuna, and they had left there.

I thought they had come early enough, but the further upstream they met, the more mermaids they encountered, which made the mermaids a little worried.

Because he found that the place where everyone gathered happened to be where Eli docked the Sea Spirit.

"Your magic ship won't be discovered, right?" Although it is already invisible, it is still at sea after all. If a mermaid accidentally bumps into it, it will definitely be discovered.

Eli was not nervous at all: "It's okay, in addition to the invisibility magic, I also cast an evasion spell. The effect of the evasion spell is to make the nearby creatures automatically stay away from the place under the influence of the spell without anyone noticing it. .”
