Mermaid Feeding Rules

"Why do you have to challenge the leader?" Boyce asked him, "Do you have to go?"

Garcia knew that if there was any concealment, Boyce would be as angry as before, and after watching him for a while, he still told the reason.

"The leader is different from other merfolk." Garcia looked at him and explained, "Only the leader can transform the 'sofia' of other merfolk."

The leader guards the young mermaids all the year round, ensuring that most of them can grow up safely, and has always been privileged in some respects.

Garcia didn't care who his sofia should be. He only knew that he could only accept Beuys and would never transform another person, nor would he let Beyce be transformed.

"But Louis told me before that anyone who has not been transformed can be transformed by a mermaid who has not transformed humans." When Louis mentioned this to him, he did not mention this condition.

"It's different." Garcia shook his head and continued to explain.

Of course, he can also transform Boyce during the breeding season, but it doesn't prevent another mermaid from discovering Boyce's breath and finding him one day.

Before them, although there were rare cases where a mermaid chose another mermaid's sofia.

Mermaids have deep instinctive possessiveness for their partners, and they will not be willing to share their partners with other people. When two mermaids compete for the same partner, they will no longer worry that the other party is their own race.

The two sides will fight to be with their partner, the winner can have the partner he likes, and the loser may be killed by his own race in the battle, may be seriously injured and finally died in the hands of other creatures, or may live down.

When they realize that their partner has been transformed by other mermaids, some merfolk will choose to snatch the partner of other mermaids, while some extreme ones will take advantage of the absence of the transformed mermaid to kill humans.

Garcia couldn't guarantee the character of the mermaid that originally corresponded to Beyce. If he was the latter, if he transformed Beyce now, there was a risk of Beyce being discovered and killed by him at any time.

He couldn't guarantee that he would be by Boyce's side all the time, nor could he guarantee that when the mermaid appeared, he would sense it immediately.

But if he successfully challenges the leader, he has the "sofia" privilege of being able to transform other merfolk, and Boyce will not be retaliated by another merfolk.

So Garcia can only let Boyce, who has not been transformed, go back to land first, to ensure that he will not meet another mermaid, and come to him after he succeeds.

But Garcia did not mention the result after his failure. If he fails, the next challenge will be ten years later. He is not sure whether Boyce is willing to wait another ten years. In addition, if the injury is too serious, Garcia was also not sure if he would survive the depths to meet him.

"What if you lose?" Boyce asked.

"Do you want me to wait for you on land without transforming?"

"Garcia..." Boyce looked at him, "Humans grow old."

"Human life is short compared to yours."

"Even if I don't meet that mermaid, how many decades can I wait for you?"

Even if it comes decades later, how will the gray-haired Beuys face Garcia who is still young?

He turned his head to prevent Garcia from seeing his red eyes: "If I meet that mermaid, then the next time you see me, I may have become like Collins."

Boyce called the mermaid's name: "Garcia..."

"Not every mermaid is you."

He may not understand equality, respect and love.

Nor would I be willing to spend time and effort to gradually understand human habits, and then clumsily say "likes" that I have never understood.

And Boyce is willing to accept, and there is only one Garcia.

"You want to challenge the leader, I agree." Boyce wiped the corners of his eyes, and his tone became a little calmer, "But before that, you need to complete the transformation."

He looked at Garcia: "A human can only be transformed once, do you want me to be transformed by that mermaid?"

Of course not...

Mermaids are inherently possessive, but Garcia is willing to restrain himself for Boyce.

"But you will be very dangerous..." Garcia regained his senses after a moment of turmoil, hoping that Boyce could think clearly.

"If you succeed, I will no longer be in danger."

"If you lose, I will take you to my house. You should remember the route there? I have saved a lot over the years, and I will build a house by that lake..."

"It's inland, but the mermaid's range of activities is in the ocean, so he won't find it."

"Also, we have a lot of tools to capture the beast."

Garcia looked at him: "I might not survive..."

The leader will not kill the same race during the challenge. If the challenger admits defeat, he can terminate the challenge, but if the injury is too serious, Garcia is not sure if he can survive after leaving the nest.

But if Garcia wants to be the leader, he must do his best.

Boyce can hide for decades, but he can't hide for a lifetime. If he is discovered, Boyce, who can live underwater and increase his life span, will not be able to resist the mermaid at all.

"Garcia," Boyce said, interrupting his nagging worries about his own safety.

"For humans, 100 years of life is enough."

He is willing to accept the increased lifespan brought about by the transformation, just because he wants to be with Garcia for a long time, that's all.

Boyce looked at him and said with a strong tone, "Transform me, if you win, I will accompany you to the bottom of the sea."

"If you lose this time, I'll wait for you to win the challenge on land and hate me."

"If you die..." Boyce paused after saying this, "I'll be with you..."

"If you still don't want to transform, then let's do it."

He looked at Garcia after he finished speaking: "Which one do you choose?"

The author has something to say: typing in the bed, the phone is out of battery, the plug and power bank are outside, that’s all
