Mermaid Throne

Before the mermaid war, due to the decline in birth rate and the sluggishness of human production willingness, the population had shown a terrible downward trend, but after the fierce mermaid war, the negative growth of the population made this race that was worried that future generations would have no place to stand. In a hundred years, three-fifths of the population has been reduced.

The decline of the population has caused most of the human cities to disappear, and the distance between cities has become far away. This situation is especially prominent in coastal areas. The appearance of mermaids forced humans to retreat inland, leaving only some small and medium-sized cities as estuary.

Baihai City is about [-] kilometers away from the nearest city. With sky-high gasoline prices, lack of physical fitness, and lack of means of transportation, the only way to get to another city is the train.As a refugee, there is no official letter of introduction, no valid exit permit, and he can only buy expensive train tickets from the black market.

Part of Tao Yiran's reason for saving money in the first place was also the frighteningly high bus fare.

But now not only is there an extra oil bottle, even the underworld can't be found.Tao Yiran thought about it, and finally reluctantly went to find a retired local hooligan.

The old hooligan's real name has long been forgotten, only that he lives in a small western-style building next to the red light district.It is not easy to knock on his door, without a thick stack of banknotes, don't let him open the golden copper door full of nouveau riche temperament.

When Tao Yiran arrived, just after nightfall, a scantily clad woman opened the door with a smile, as if she was about to go out to look for food, but the door was blocked by someone the next moment.

"Who..." The woman's face turned pale, but when she saw who was coming, she froze, "Child?"

Rong Xuan opened his round eyes, and his pretty face was slightly shy: "Can I come in?"

The woman who was stunned instantly opened the door: "Of course..." Then she was knocked unconscious.

Tao Yiran flashed out from behind, grabbed the human door opener and walked inside: "That's right, keep up the good work."

Rong Xuan was dragged by him, and refused in embarrassment: "I don't want to! I've never felt comfortable with you!"

"A person who has no money and no strength, even without beauty, what use are you for?" Tao Yiran skipped over the littered clothes on the ground, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, "This guy won't be in... "

The gasping sound from the hall immediately confirmed his guess.

One big and one small stared dumbfounded at the old man lying on the sofa, one was riding on his waist, one was a woman, one was lying between his legs, a man, and one was lying under the man, a woman.

Tao Yiran immediately brought the child over, tightly covered his eyes, while trying to calm down, he greeted the person on the sofa who was still enjoying with his eyes closed: "Hey, old man, I want a train ticket."

Rong Xuan had seen everything clearly a long time ago, but now that his eyes were covered, he could hear those panting sounds clearly. The red-faced little mermaid struggled to shake off the hand that covered her eyes, but the other party continued wishful thinking in the name of protection. torture yourself.

The old hooligan opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at the two uninvited guests with a pair of cloudy eyes. "Didn't you see that I'm still busy?"

"I have a deal, which is more interesting than money. I can get in the car tonight. One...two people." Tao Yiran was impatient with Rong Xuan's struggle, so he simply picked him up and hung him upside down on his shoulders.

The child whose butt was touched again was so angry that his face was bleeding, but the guy touched his head and said, "Don't look at it, kid."

Son of a bitch!If I knew that before teaching him homework, let him memorize the entire "Mermaid Common Sense" first!

The little mermaid who hated her so much that she just wanted to gnaw a hole out of her opponent was about to open her mouth, but she heard the other party say to the old hooligan who dismissed her: "Fish scale armor, plus fifteen hundred gold."

Rong Xuan immediately raised his upper body and looked at the back of the opponent's head in disbelief, which should not have been knocked.

Not to mention the sky-high price of [-] gold, he has seen that pair of fish scale armor once, it is definitely a priceless treasure.

Sure enough, the old hooligan pushed away everyone who jumped on him, and looked at Tao Yiran with glowing eyes: "Where is it?"

"When I get in the car, I'll tell you where it is." Tao Yiran was very calm, showing no timidity in front of an old fried dough stick.

The old hooligan snorted coldly: "You don't have to worry that I will find someone to ambush you. If I were this kind of person, this business would have been impossible."

Tao Yiran raised the corner of his mouth: "I never trust businessmen." As he spoke, he threw the bag containing [-] gold to him: "But I can give you the deposit in advance."

The old hooligan laughed: "Since you have the fish scale armor, you can choose the route, go south, go north, or go back to the inland?"

To the north of the coastline is the central part of the country, only more than 600 kilometers across the sea, and it is a huge island.Since the mermaid war, that island has become a mermaid base, ready to attack the mainland at any time.And this island, which was once called "Day Bay", has now become "Dark Bay".

To the south of the coastline is a hotter subtropical region. Although there are a large number of mermaids inhabiting the shore, because it is closer to the neutral country, the fighting between the two sides has weakened a lot, and the mermaids have less aggression.However, due to the suitable climate and large population in the south, it is very difficult for ordinary people to live there.

"South!" "North." Two completely different answers emerged. Rong Xuan tilted his upper body and tried to express his wish: "I don't want to go to the north!"

Tao Yiran turned to look at him, expressionless: "Whatever, let's go to the south. The south is a city near the sea."

The old hooligan sneered: "What can you do in the south? Since you want to escape, you should go north. There are all mermaids' territory. If you hide for a few years, no one will remember you anymore."

"I'm not famous enough to hide for another few years." He had been hiding for two years before that.enough.

Coming out of Xiaoyanglou, Rong Xuan followed behind Tao Yiran, first angrily emphasizing that the other party should not touch his ass again, and after getting the other party's absent-minded promise, he asked curiously: "How much money do you have left?"

"...two hundred gold." Tao Yiran didn't hide anything.

"Two hundred gold?!" Rong Xuan almost fainted. At this time, he had fully understood the value of money in human society. The two children whose entire property was only two hundred gold were completely poor ghosts.

After finally accumulating some savings, Tao Yiran glared at him: "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't spend nearly twice as much money." "I can help you earn more money!" The child was not reconciled Be disgusted.

Tao Yiran chuckled, and patted his head: "Come on, you, piranha. It's all included in your food expenses, and you can just pay it back to me in the future."

Rong Xuan pursed his lips, thinking, this scumbag is not cute at all.not at all.

But, what does Tao Yiran want to be cute?
