"Strange 'words'..." The location of the mermaid sea area is special, and what appears in this place is recognized as "text" and is beyond the recognition of creatures in the sea area, which arouses Leif's concern for the committee Lenovo, "Maybe it's just a pattern, why do you think it's 'text'?"

The big snail couldn't explain it, so it just repeated: "It's just words, did the mermaid say that? Those are words."

"Okay." Leff said, "Can you take me there first, or tell me where those words are?"

The big snail mentioned a location, Leif let it go, and it continued to walk towards the residence of the Mermaid King.

There is a coral that looks like a tree on land near the place mentioned by the big conch. Leif searched around the trunk of the fake tree and found the text in the conch mouth. After reading it, he frowned. .

"This? Is it a text from another world? What is written on it?" Natia Vida asked one after another, "Is it left by Bod?"

"After I came to the Mermaid Sea, I was worried that the 'tacit understanding' between Bod and me would disappear, and I would never get any more clues." Leif stretched out his hand to support the trunk of the fake tree, stroking the words with his fingers "It's Bod's handwriting. The good news is that the clues are not broken. The bad news is that this...maybe the last clue I got from Bod."

"Why?" Natia Vida asked.

"As far as Bod knows, the committee's destination is indeed in the mermaid sea area, at least the mermaid sea area is a necessary place." Live said, "In this clue, Bod left a symbol for help. This is ?means that the committee may have discovered her connection to me, or...they've known about it from the beginning, but?relying on Bertie's constant signals to lead me to?here, And after getting here, there is no longer any need for me to continue to provide signals."

Seeing Lev's pale face, Natia Vida gently held her in his arms and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

"If this...is simply a signal that Bod is asking me for help, it means that she thinks that I can actually save her in some way. If the committee acquiesces to Bod leaving this clue, I will regard it as Provocation, this is a challenge to me." Leff said, "In short, my meeting with the core members of the committee is just around the corner."

"Miss Knight is very nervous?" Natia Vida said, "I have never seen you so unconfident in yourself. According to my prediction, they are not enough to pose a threat to you, and they cannot defeat you." you……"

"I don't know how to describe it." Leif's body tensed up, but she found some peace in the faint lemongrass scent around Natia Vida, if Natia Vida hadn't taken the opportunity to rub her tail Maybe she will be more calm if she rubs her hands, "I may...I mean maybe...at some point, I won't be able to fight...at that time..."

Natia Vida said: "Miss Knight just ask me for help."

"Okay." Lev raised her face, and could only see Natia Vida's chin. After becoming a mermaid, she was a little shorter than before. By wiggling her tail, she found a man who could be with Natia Vida. At the level of the eye, "If there is such a time, will Natia Vida feel that I am weak?"

"No." Natia Vida shook her head, the tip of her nose touched Leif's, and the breath flowed through the water, "I only feel happy. Miss Knight is willing to ask me for help, which means that you regard me as a I am very happy that Miss Knight can show her vulnerable side in front of me with peace of mind, I know this is not easy for you."

"Since this is the case," Leif's cheeks flushed slightly, "I have nothing to worry about."

Apart from the words that suddenly appeared on this day, the days in the mermaid sea area were quite relaxed and rarely brought Leif any pressure.

Mermaids are quiet and gentle creatures, and life in Mermaid Land is simple—perhaps too simple.

Apart from completing the necessary amount of daily activities, merfolk hardly go out all day, and they don't get bored.

This preference to live behind closed doors intensified as the mermaids got older. Abe and a few young mermaids who were over a thousand years old would occasionally leave the mermaid land to come To? Mermaid Sea - this? For them is considered an adventure.

Mermaids over two thousand years old are very resistant to going out.

For the mermaid king who is three thousand years old, it is a rare thing to even get up.

It has been more than a month since Leif came to the mermaid town, and during these [-] days, the mermaid king never left her shell.Close the shell to sleep, open the shell to deal with everyday things.

During the day, her biggest exercise is to tease cats persistently with long poles—this shows the necessity of Pudian's existence for the mermaid king.

The next big event, maybe it's your turn to eat.

Natia Vida is an evil dragon with a certain number of believers. She is also an important person in the center of the temple. She also has to take care of Leif. She has multiple roles and is capable of splitting her body. between.Not to mention witch wandering, she is a traveling merchant, and she is also a character who cannot settle in one position for too long.

They couldn't understand the way of life of the mermaid king at all, and occasionally they had some complaints.

The only person who agrees with this kind of lifestyle is Leif. She comes from a world full of electronic screens. It is not difficult for her to stay in one room for several months under the condition of ensuring diet and personal hygiene. ?Won't get bored.

But the mermaids obviously don't have the conditions of another world, so they can still have this kind of stamina, which makes her really admire.

In addition to being able to bear not to go out, the mermaid's stamina is also reflected in all aspects of life.They can endure the same daily food without a variety of seasoning and cooking patterns, they can endure the monotonous decoration in the house, leaving only practical furnishings, and there is not much conversation among each other...

They lead an extremely simple life, or, as you might say, an extremely uninteresting life.

Leif knows that the "brightness" of the eternal flower that the mermaids like means that the owner of the eternal flower has something to pursue, but the mermaids themselves seem to have nothing to pursue, but are satisfied with the existing life .

This? Some do not make sense.

One day, Leif heard the name of a mermaid mentioned by the mermaid clan.This name is very strange, she has never heard of it in a month, but the tone of all the mermaids is very familiar, it seems that this mermaid is among them.

"Who is she?" Leif asked.

"It's our common 'sister', also? The former mermaid king." Waomia said, "According to human beings, she has passed away."

A mermaid blew a bubble at Leif, and Leff popped it before the bubble touched? himself: "But when you talk about her, you use the present tense."

"According to human beings," said the bubble-blowing mermaid, "she will always live in our memory."

"As long as she is in our memory, she has never disappeared?" Another mermaid said.

"I know it's a bit offensive, but I'm really curious..." Leif said, "The more I get along with you, the more things I can't understand... And your explanation? It's just to accommodate my race , Why do we have to follow the human language? We speak the same language, so I want to know what the mermaids say."

A mermaid glanced at Leif's tail: "Although you have grown a tail, you are still human."

A younger mermaid said: "This is the innate 'knowledge' of mermaids, and it is also a kind of innate ability."

"If you entered Mermaid Land in the 'usual' way," Waomia said, "it may be easier to understand."

"Usual way? You mean..." Leff thought of the mirage that appeared in the mermaid sea, and thought of the voyagers immersed in the bubbles.

"Mermaid way... that's a weird way to say it, you went from only using your legs, to being able to use your tail flexibly, can you explain to us how you manipulate this tail, how do you Control every muscle and every bone in your tail?" said an elderly mermaid, "If you can't explain it, we can't explain it either."

Leff was taken aback.

"Let me try to describe it, but it's not necessarily accurate." Waomia rubbed Pudian's head, "Knight lady, you live in a false world, while mermaids live in reality .”

"No way..." Leff almost thought that the "falseness" mentioned by the mermaid referred to the game world, and it took a while to realize that it was not the same thing, "I have broken many illusions... and You create illusions..."

"Why do you feel that the world outside the illusion is more real?" Waomia said, "The only thing you can be sure of is what your senses tell you. If you can make your senses have the same reaction, why not Is it real?"

"I don't quite understand." Leif said.

"How do you recognize a mermaid? You compare her with the mermaid in your memory, and if it matches your memory, you assume that she is the mermaid you know." Waomia said, "If your If the memory is clear enough, let the memory bring you the same stimulation to your senses, and the mermaid will be right in front of you—even if in human terms, she has passed away long ago.

"If your memory is clear enough, and you can speculate based on this part of the memory, you can create a new scene. In the new scene, you can assume that the mermaid is in a certain situation What kind of reaction will there be? This completely matches the impression of this mermaid in your mind. Even if she really did such a thing, you wouldn't think she was another mermaid, would you?

"In this case? Why do you say that the mermaid you conceived is fake. Why can't the scene you created be real? Why do you say it is fake and an illusion?"

Leif said: "You are sophistrying. What is true is true, and what is false is false. No matter how realistic it is, it is still false."

Waomia said: "It can only be said that there is a gap between our definitions of truth and falsehood. Mermaids can find the essence from phenomena, while human beings always live in phenomena.

"Use some easier-to-understand examples. If you have tasted a fish made with marinated fish, the mermaids don't need to work hard to make another fish. You only need to reproduce this taste to taste it. .

"Suppose you have been to a certain sea area, as long as the mermaid family reawakens the stimulation of our senses in that place, we will already be in this sea area. Even if that sea area has changed hands several times, the past owners of that sea area Never really owned it? That sea area, the real owner of that sea area? It’s the mermaid. Even if the sea area disappears, the mermaid can still be present without leaving home.”

"..." Leif said, "As expected of a mermaid. I thought you guys were amazing enough not to go out, but I didn't expect you to create such a complete set for not going out. Theory. Really impressive."
