When Tina came to Rhines' room, he didn't even have time to take off his skirt. The white bread with nuts and raisins was about the size of two palms, and it was still warm when she handed it to Rhines.
"If you come back later, you won't have any more." Tina said with pride on her face, "The master, wife and young master are all out today, so it's rare to be able to eat something good."
Rhines pursed his lips and smiled at her, thanking her in a low voice.
His white fingertips were on the edge of the wooden door, only showing most of his face to look at her, with a shy and timid softness.
Rhines is much prettier than her, Tina thought wildly, maybe the illegitimate daughter had to wear men's clothing or something in order to protect herself from being harassed by those disgusting men in the village.
She always felt that the romantic plots in those ancient novels could be applied to Rhines, elves and angels, princesses fighting against fate, or priests, all good things were fine.
Who wouldn't like a good-tempered, delicate and weak beauty? Tina held on to the door frame like a hooligan, "Won't you invite me in and sit down? I just brought you the bread."
Rhines was obviously taken aback for a moment, then the tips of his ears turned red to the side of his face at a speed visible to the naked eye, "No way..."
Tina raised her eyebrows, seeing Rhines' strangeness, and made a gesture to push the door open.
Rhines quickly grasped the frame with both hands, and Tina heard him whimper softly.
"Really not, Tina." Rhines was not even as strong as her, so he could only hold the door panel with two hands, and there was a little panic and pleading in his blue eyes.
"...I'm changing clothes." He didn't dare to meet Tina's eyes.
Rhines wasn't changing clothes, but it was about the same.Herbert didn't know where he found the skirt, but he pulled it a couple of times, and one of the shoulder straps actually broke.
It was deliberately designed for Liu Ying, and half of her white chest and back were exposed outside.
But Rhines was afraid that Tina would be caught by the passing servants waiting outside with the bread, so she had to rush to open the door.
It was better just now, he was still able to brush with his hands, but now he let go, and even the other side slipped down and hooked on his elbow.The vermilion fabric with excellent drape is stacked on the waistline, making the waist-hip joint more warped.
That is to say, Rhines is now standing in front of Tina almost naked|naked in embarrassment, only separated by a door.
Any manservant with stronger strength could knock the door open.
It's like breaking the shell of a white shell.
Rhines actually trusted Tina very much, he had never noticed any malice in this girl, like Herbert's sticky one, or the Duchess's vicious malice.
Thinking that Tina obviously helped herself, but she didn't get any benefit, and she even refused to let people into the room, she felt a little guilty.
"How about next time?" He asked in a low voice, "Can I?"
……
Tina: "Honey, you're really..."
She smiled, then looked at the tip of Rhines' ear, which had turned a little redder because of her "baby" sound, and squeezed it.
If she hadn't been sure that Rhines was really just saying thank you next time, with this tone, everyone would have misunderstood.
Tina held the doorknob and said, "Okay, young master, let's change clothes. Don't use this tone to talk to the drunks outside, you will be carried into the alley by them. Fuck | die of."
"...What?" Rhines looked blankly at the closed door.
The heat in his ears hadn't receded, he grabbed the collar with one hand to prevent the clothes from slipping, and turned around with the plate in the other——
The child who was slightly higher than the sofa stood outside the bathroom, staring at Rhines with those dark blue eyes that were a few degrees darker than his.
The bathroom had just been used, but there was no mist.Rhines couldn't ask the servants to boil hot water. Fortunately, it was summer, so it was okay to take a bath with cold water.
The child was frighteningly white, not the creamy, soft and sweet white of Rhines, but the paleness of a dead man.
Sick, weak, with unspeakable weirdness.
He stood there, a small puddle of water gathered under his feet.From the limbs to the face, there are crack-like blood-red wounds everywhere, like a corpse that has been dismembered and then glued together.
Or some pale fungus that grows in the shadows.
Even though his facial features and even his body proportions are perfect, like a plaster statue in an art museum that has been restrained according to age, it just makes the child look weirder.
In the midsummer of August, outside the window of Rhines' room, dark green wild shrubs grow wantonly, without the cicadas singing, and small light purple flowers bloom everywhere.
And in the room, just because of the existence of this child, it seems that the temperature has dropped a little.
……
Rhines admitted he was intimidated.
The human nature of 16 years made him subconsciously perceive the weirdness of dilapidated children, so he rejected them. On the other hand, the part of his blood that belonged to Silver Tail frantically reminded Rhines to stay away.
Do you know what happens next?
The body of a mermaid that is not suitable for mating will be completely opened, and the inside that has never seen light will be held down by sharp claws with poisonous glands. They are not even allowed to flinch, and can only completely give up control of their own body right.
until the other party is satisfied.
But this usually means full conception, or a coma.
Rhines would not have made today's decision if he could obey any of the two instincts.
But no matter how scary children are, how can they be scary?
What's more, the one I picked up looked like it had some kind of congenital disease. It was probably abused and ignored since childhood, and it even became like this. This reminded Rhines of himself easily.
He's a little guilty...he's actually a little scared.
Rhines leaned his back against the door, obviously he was the master, his vigilant look seemed to have inadvertently broken into someone else's room.
The child with injuries all over his body took two steps forward, and the sound of his footsteps made clear by being wet could be heard in the quiet room.
Rhines's rose-colored lips tightened, "Don't come here."
If it is a silver tail, at this time, it will subconsciously secrete a neurotoxin that represents rejection and disperse.It may have a little effect on humans, and if it is replaced by a black tail, the innocuous numbness will only arouse the excitement even more.
He sniffed the air, but Rhines was still different, he was still a human being, and there was an extremely faint fragrance in the air.
It is the fragrance that can only be smelled by sticking the tip of the nose against the soft and greasy skin.
He lowered his gaze, "...it hurts..."
Rhines almost thought he heard it wrong.
"what?"
His throat was probably injured as well, it was hoarse, more like the sound made by some kind of snake.
But what he said was very pitiful. He lowered his head and covered the unchanged expression on his face, "I hurt so much... Brother..."
"Can you... hug me...?"
It speaks very slowly, and for all human languages, it comes from the communication of those researchers when they are unconscious.
Rhines: "I thought you couldn't speak."
He hurriedly took two steps forward, and then realized his current predicament, standing where he was, holding the silk in embarrassment.
He lowered his head and whispered to the person in front of him, "Does it hurt?
Yes, can I change clothes? "
He laughed silently.
How stupid, such a stupid silver tail, I'm afraid it won't resist even if it is dragged back into the sea.Maybe she will open those blue eyes and ask him why he did this to him.
He felt as if his heart had been poked by something soft.
It was a strange feeling, as if he had been floating alone in the boundless solitude for countless years, and all his perceptions were numb and cold in the deep sea.
Even the countless cuts and scalds in the research institute did not leave a slight fluctuation in his calm nerves.
But Rhines was different, he suddenly felt...
The world becomes more interesting.
He didn't speak, and slowly approached two steps.The instinct hidden in his blood will always tell him what kind of posture can make the prey relax to the greatest extent, so Rhines did not escape.
until it is held by the thigh.
!
"you……"
"I'm...with my brother." He pretended to be clumsy and timid.
As expected, Rhines suddenly lost his voice.
"...No." The ending sound was soft, and she didn't know who she was teasing.
Rhines felt ashamed, but he was indeed forced to cry by a child, "Let go first, okay?"
So stupid, but so cute.
He was almost unable to hide his physical excitement. If Rhines could be more careful, he would find congested capillaries and faintly emerging scale edges from the side of his ears.
His subordinates seemed to be begging but tightened up threateningly, "Why... why..."
Rhines couldn't explain his shame to a ten-year-old kid, especially since he didn't wear anything underneath, and the scarlet suspender dress looked like this.It was as if some evil mark had been stamped on him.
In the end, the little Silver Tail who was cornered actually stuffed a piece of bread on the plate into the child's arms, "You, eat this."
What Rhines wanted to say was that if you eat bread, just let me go.
But He is willing to understand this sentence in another way.Don't push too hard on your precious prey, though.
He looked at Rhines, and suddenly let go of his hand obediently, holding the bread in his arms.
... After all, he is still a child, Rhines heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'll be back soon." The way he spoke was more like addressing a teacher than a ten-year-old child.
Reines returned to his room, closed the door with his backhand, and blocked the outside eyes.
The chirping of cicadas continued outside the window, and a white cat with a black tail jumped onto the window sill at this time, stretched its paws forward to stretch its body, and let out a very satisfied "meow~".
It came to beg for food from Rhines, if not, it would be good to ask a gentle and beautiful human to comb its hair.
Then, it met a pair of dark blue pupils.
——!
"Ha——!" In an instant, the white cat puffed up all its fur and bowed itself into a terrifying appearance.
The two creatures confront each other at a distance.
He seemed to find it very interesting, and tilted his head slightly.
The white cat took a step back slowly. If there was no need to fight, it would of course avoid it.
Just before it had a chance to escape, the white reflections in the amber cat's eyes instantly covered all of its sight.
……
"Squeak... squeak..."
The white cat had a chance to survive, but unfortunately it had eyes of the wrong color.
With downcast eyes, he casually broke off a piece of white bread to wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stuffed it into his mouth.
——It’s not tasty, human food is still not suitable for me.
On the east coast across the strait from the Sauk family, countless soldiers in silver armor bent down and searched inch by inch on the sand.
As the wind howled and the waves crashed on the reef wave after wave, the little hermit crab quickly hid in the crevices of the rocks carrying its shell, away from this group of terrifying humans.
"...We were called urgently just to dig sand?!"
The burly little boss didn't look very well either, he raised his foot and kicked the person who spoke, "This is the general's order!"
The man didn't expect him to be behind, so he hurriedly said yes.
When the little boss walked away, the whispers behind him grew louder again.
In fact, everyone is annoying. On the east coast in August, the sand grains at noon can even make you roll.Being stuffed in iron armor at this temperature is not as easy as putting a person on a stove.
The bastard that came out of the dog's belly, the little boss cursed in his heart irritably.
At the end of his gaze, Opern was hiding under the shade of a tree wearing a snow-white robe, as if he was not satisfied with the current progress.
The little boss raised his head and drank his saliva, then walked over there.
"...I said I need to search inch by inch, why didn't anyone go into the water?" Opern was questioning the person in charge.
Hearing this, the little boss rolled his eyes and asked people to go into the sea in armor to look for him, because he thought there were too many people left in the army.
But when he came to Opern, he was already smiling, "Your Excellency, I am..."
Opern looked over, his gaze was very light, he didn't seem to be looking at a person, but more like looking at an insignificant ant or leaf.
The little boss immediately got to the point, "I want to ask you what you lost."
"You can also see that we have been working for a long time, but there is no result at all." The little boss said a little bit aggrieved, "A word of 'unusual' can't let us find something."
"If it's a gold coin with precious stones, then let the young man with good eyes look around. Of course, if it's a woman, we shouldn't look for it at the seaside, should we?"
They all felt that Opern had lost something unspeakable, and they were just calling them in the name of the research institute.
The more the little boss thought about it, the more he felt this way, and the eyes that fell on Ou Poen became a little contemptuous.
This empire is rotten from top to bottom, Opern thought.
He sneered, "You want to know what you're looking for?"
The little boss rolled his eyes, "If it's not convenient for you to tell me..."
"Of course it's convenient, you have the right to know." Opern's amber eyes didn't have any warmth under the monocle.
The little boss suddenly felt a chill down his back.
"You're looking for a mark left by the devil, a eaten bone, a scale, or something else that could kill someone."
Ou Poen snorted coldly, left this sentence, turned around and left.
"...Why didn't the psychiatric hospital arrest him." The little boss felt that he had been tricked, and when he realized it, he kicked the gravel on the ground hard.
Over there Opern returned to the carriage.
General Kenley occupied the entire inner row, leaving only the outer one for Oppen, "Did you find it?"
"You should know what kind of waste you have raised yourself." Opern replied lightly.
……
If it weren't for the threat of the merman soup, Kenly would have turned his face on the spot.
Opern, "Keep looking, don't let them rest."
Kenley tried his best to be calm, "Many have already passed out due to heat stroke."
Many of the team he brought with him now are branches of nobles. If not, they would not be able to stay in the imperial capital and enjoy themselves with peace of mind.Ou Poen made a fuss this time, he must have some meat from other nobles.
Opin, "Do you want to wait for that thing to come and kill us all?"
Kenly burst out, "Why are you looking for the leftover bones of the merman? Are you a fucking dog? You have to find some leftovers and smell the smell before you can find someone?!"
"Because I need to know to what extent He has awakened."
Opern didn't budge.
He looked at General Kenley as the Pope looked down at the faithful.
"He is now very similar to an ordinary mermaid, seriously injured and doesn't know his true identity.
Have you ever seen a newborn cub?A bird will recognize the first creature it sees as its mother, and a deer will jump within an hour.
It's the same with him, he didn't reach the normal waking time, and we cut so much flesh.He acts on instinct, as all young animals do. "
"When he left the research institute, he knocked over the acid tank. We couldn't find any clues. But the only thing that is certain is that he will definitely return to the sea.
Now, then, I want to know how he ate.
Sharks have three main ways of eating. First, they passively use their gills to filter sea water, and they will shed their gills.This means that it is still in its juvenile stage. During this period, they are generally in shallow seas, hiding in large seaweed groups.
Second, the digestive juice is injected into the prey, which means that it has entered the growth period. The sea surface of the deep sea, seagulls, turtles, killer whales, dolphins, and even sharks are their prey.
If so, we could find bones with traces.At that time, what we need is a whole alchemy ship. "
Kenley kept a dark face and said nothing.
The carriage fell silent for a moment, and after a while, General Kenley showed his tone to the guests again, "What about the third one? Why don't you say it?"
Opern narrowed his eyes and poured tea for himself, "It's not necessary, it's impossible for him to become an adult right now."
Kenly suddenly became interested, "How do you say?"
"..." O'Prien also knew that he couldn't annoy Kenli too much now, talking about what he had seen in his notes like a lady from the imperial capital chatting about gossip.
"A mermaid will remain in the growth stage until they meet a mate."
"During the growth period, they have no gender, and when two mermen meet, they will use force to decide who is superior.
Some alchemists have seen that scene with crystals, the loser will be pressed on the reef and run through until a space for the growth of a gestational sac is opened up. "
Kenly probably only had a brain as big as a grape, and he quickly dug out his past experiences, with a smile on his flushed face.
O'Brien glanced at him in disgust, but continued, "All motleys except Silvertail will be like this, and there are even those who have been determined to be females after escaping, and another merman who is not as good as it will transformed into a female, thereby gaining the rights of a male."
Kenly was very interested, "The one you grabbed is the black tail, why not the silver tail."
"Because Black Tail is the most powerful existence among the mermen."
Brutal and bloodthirsty, but cold and terrifying after leaving the hunting state.If there is such a characteristic as black tail in human beings, it must be a tyrant.
Kenley: "I'm a little curious why Silvertails are excluded from - their 'transformation' regime. You mean Silvertails, unlike other merfolk, only have one gender?"
The topic of sex made the general more eager to learn than ever. He even took a sip of rum with a smile and waited for Opern's answer.
Opern frowned, as if he was considering his words.
"According to the records, Silver Tail has always belonged to the lower rank...
But some alchemists believe that they are not mermans. "
"Mermaids have their own civilization system. In ancient ocean legends, the ancient god of mermaids has existed in endless emptiness for too long, so he cut off the soft part of himself and created his own partner. This is The original Silvertail.
But in this way, the body of the ancient god is completely evil. It likes blood, screams, and plays with people's hearts. Gradually, the separated Silver Tail can no longer bear it, and escapes from the ancient god.
So according to their legends, all mermen of other colors are the incarnations of ancient gods, and Silver Tail can only be in the lower rank. "
"Some scholars have speculated whether this means that the silver tail is actually evolved from other species in order to survive, so it is different from ordinary sharks."
O'Brien felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the subsequent records, but Kenly was still urging, he could only continue, "According to the fragments retained by the remaining crystal fragments, during the transformation process, Silvertail and other mermen The treatment is not the same.
Among the mermen, a race that admires blood so much, it seems that they are only gentle when facing Silver Tail.
Or rather, cunning.
The first is stalking, just like dolphins catching silver cod, forcing the silver tail into the previously prepared nest.Most of the time, they will put some dangerous sea monsters around, forcing Silvertail to cower and hide in the cave.
Then there's capture, but it's a little more gentle, and they'll placate Silvertail with lies or fresh prey.This process takes a long time, and their patience is frightening in this respect. "
"As long as the silvertails appear to be softening, or trying to escape, whichever it is, they will be bound in the reef by tough seagrass, and there will be no more silver in that patch for months. Traces of the tail.
Of course, if Silvertail, whose gestational sac was stuffed with eggs, had to come out for a stroll, there might be a group of incompletely hatched shark eggs behind a certain reef.
The mermaids don't care about offspring, but after the gestational sac is emptied, they can conceive in the next round. "
After Oppern finished speaking coldly, he looked at General Kenley, "Are you still satisfied with the records of the ancient alchemists?"
Kenly raised his glass and laughed drunkenly, "I'd like it better if Silvertail was a blond little bitch."
The author has something to say:
I don't seem to have cleared mines, Gong belongs to the evil side of chaos, don't point out that he can have any kind of three views, kindness, etc.I'm going to be crazy about matching little beauties~
Then I was traveling recently, the update time was not stable, and I was crying
"If you come back later, you won't have any more." Tina said with pride on her face, "The master, wife and young master are all out today, so it's rare to be able to eat something good."

"...I said I need to search inch by inch, why didn't anyone go into the water?" Opern was questioning the person in charge.
Hearing this, the little boss rolled his eyes and asked people to go into the sea in armor to look for him, because he thought there were too many people left in the army.
But when he came to Opern, he was already smiling, "Your Excellency, I am..."
Opern looked over, his gaze was very light, he didn't seem to be looking at a person, but more like looking at an insignificant ant or leaf.
The little boss immediately got to the point, "I want to ask you what you lost."
"You can also see that we have been working for a long time, but there is no result at all." The little boss said a little bit aggrieved, "A word of 'unusual' can't let us find something."
"If it's a gold coin with precious stones, then let the young man with good eyes look around. Of course, if it's a woman, we shouldn't look for it at the seaside, should we?"
They all felt that Opern had lost something unspeakable, and they were just calling them in the name of the research institute.
The more the little boss thought about it, the more he felt this way, and the eyes that fell on Ou Poen became a little contemptuous.
This empire is rotten from top to bottom, Opern thought.
He sneered, "You want to know what you're looking for?"
The little boss rolled his eyes, "If it's not convenient for you to tell me..."
"Of course it's convenient, you have the right to know." Opern's amber eyes didn't have any warmth under the monocle.
The little boss suddenly felt a chill down his back.
"You're looking for a mark left by the devil, a eaten bone, a scale, or something else that could kill someone."
Ou Poen snorted coldly, left this sentence, turned around and left.
"...Why didn't the psychiatric hospital arrest him." The little boss felt that he had been tricked, and when he realized it, he kicked the gravel on the ground hard.
Over there Opern returned to the carriage.
General Kenley occupied the entire inner row, leaving only the outer one for Oppen, "Did you find it?"
"You should know what kind of waste you have raised yourself." Opern replied lightly.
……
If it weren't for the threat of the merman soup, Kenly would have turned his face on the spot.
Opern, "Keep looking, don't let them rest."
Kenley tried his best to be calm, "Many have already passed out due to heat stroke."
Many of the team he brought with him now are branches of nobles. If not, they would not be able to stay in the imperial capital and enjoy themselves with peace of mind.Ou Poen made a fuss this time, he must have some meat from other nobles.
Opin, "Do you want to wait for that thing to come and kill us all?"
Kenly burst out, "Why are you looking for the leftover bones of the merman? Are you a fucking dog? You have to find some leftovers and smell the smell before you can find someone?!"
"Because I need to know to what extent He has awakened."
Opern didn't budge.
He looked at General Kenley as the Pope looked down at the faithful.
"He is now very similar to an ordinary mermaid, seriously injured and doesn't know his true identity.
Have you ever seen a newborn cub?A bird will recognize the first creature it sees as its mother, and a deer will jump within an hour.
It's the same with him, he didn't reach the normal waking time, and we cut so much flesh.He acts on instinct, as all young animals do. "
"When he left the research institute, he knocked over the acid tank. We couldn't find any clues. But the only thing that is certain is that he will definitely return to the sea.
Now, then, I want to know how he ate.
Sharks have three main ways of eating. First, they passively use their gills to filter sea water, and they will shed their gills.This means that it is still in its juvenile stage. During this period, they are generally in shallow seas, hiding in large seaweed groups.
Second, the digestive juice is injected into the prey, which means that it has entered the growth period. The sea surface of the deep sea, seagulls, turtles, killer whales, dolphins, and even sharks are their prey.
If so, we could find bones with traces.At that time, what we need is a whole alchemy ship. "
Kenley kept a dark face and said nothing.
The carriage fell silent for a moment, and after a while, General Kenley showed his tone to the guests again, "What about the third one? Why don't you say it?"
Opern narrowed his eyes and poured tea for himself, "It's not necessary, it's impossible for him to become an adult right now."
Kenly suddenly became interested, "How do you say?"
"..." O'Prien also knew that he couldn't annoy Kenli too much now, talking about what he had seen in his notes like a lady from the imperial capital chatting about gossip.
"A mermaid will remain in the growth stage until they meet a mate."
"During the growth period, they have no gender, and when two mermen meet, they will use force to decide who is superior.
Some alchemists have seen that scene with crystals, the loser will be pressed on the reef and run through until a space for the growth of a gestational sac is opened up. "
Kenly probably only had a brain as big as a grape, and he quickly dug out his past experiences, with a smile on his flushed face.
O'Brien glanced at him in disgust, but continued, "All motleys except Silvertail will be like this, and there are even those who have been determined to be females after escaping, and another merman who is not as good as it will transformed into a female, thereby gaining the rights of a male."
Kenly was very interested, "The one you grabbed is the black tail, why not the silver tail."
"Because Black Tail is the most powerful existence among the mermen."
Brutal and bloodthirsty, but cold and terrifying after leaving the hunting state.If there is such a characteristic as black tail in human beings, it must be a tyrant.
Kenley: "I'm a little curious why Silvertails are excluded from - their 'transformation' regime. You mean Silvertails, unlike other merfolk, only have one gender?"
The topic of sex made the general more eager to learn than ever. He even took a sip of rum with a smile and waited for Opern's answer.
Opern frowned, as if he was considering his words.
"According to the records, Silver Tail has always belonged to the lower rank...
But some alchemists believe that they are not mermans. "
"Mermaids have their own civilization system. In ancient ocean legends, the ancient god of mermaids has existed in endless emptiness for too long, so he cut off the soft part of himself and created his own partner. This is The original Silvertail.
But in this way, the body of the ancient god is completely evil. It likes blood, screams, and plays with people's hearts. Gradually, the separated Silver Tail can no longer bear it, and escapes from the ancient god.
So according to their legends, all mermen of other colors are the incarnations of ancient gods, and Silver Tail can only be in the lower rank. "
"Some scholars have speculated whether this means that the silver tail is actually evolved from other species in order to survive, so it is different from ordinary sharks."
O'Brien felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the subsequent records, but Kenly was still urging, he could only continue, "According to the fragments retained by the remaining crystal fragments, during the transformation process, Silvertail and other mermen The treatment is not the same.
Among the mermen, a race that admires blood so much, it seems that they are only gentle when facing Silver Tail.
Or rather, cunning.
The first is stalking, just like dolphins catching silver cod, forcing the silver tail into the previously prepared nest.Most of the time, they will put some dangerous sea monsters around, forcing Silvertail to cower and hide in the cave.
Then there's capture, but it's a little more gentle, and they'll placate Silvertail with lies or fresh prey.This process takes a long time, and their patience is frightening in this respect. "
"As long as the silvertails appear to be softening, or trying to escape, whichever it is, they will be bound in the reef by tough seagrass, and there will be no more silver in that patch for months. Traces of the tail.
Of course, if Silvertail, whose gestational sac was stuffed with eggs, had to come out for a stroll, there might be a group of incompletely hatched shark eggs behind a certain reef.
The mermaids don't care about offspring, but after the gestational sac is emptied, they can conceive in the next round. "
After Oppern finished speaking coldly, he looked at General Kenley, "Are you still satisfied with the records of the ancient alchemists?"
Kenly raised his glass and laughed drunkenly, "I'd like it better if Silvertail was a blond little bitch."
The author has something to say:
I don't seem to have cleared mines, Gong belongs to the evil side of chaos, don't point out that he can have any kind of three views, kindness, etc.I'm going to be crazy about matching little beauties~
Then I was traveling recently, the update time was not stable, and I was crying
