Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

Klein said he would learn it another day, but he hid from Mephides for a few days.

Not to hide elsewhere—after all, they live in the same house, and there is nowhere to hide—but to hide in affairs.

Not surprisingly, the Pearl will set sail again in more than two months.

It would be best if Patton could pick up Mefides in advance, if not, he would have to help Mefides find a proper place to go.

In the worst case, neither Patton was found nor a place to go.

At that time, he couldn't leave Mephides here alone.

Maybe he will miss a voyage and wait for someone at Paloy Port, or help Mephides find Parton himself.

But no matter what the result is, he needs to make some preparations for the next trip to sea.

There are many kingdoms on the mainland, and there are countless routes between the major kingdoms. The Pearl has conquered only a few dozen.

The Kingdom of Havre has always been committed to using sea routes to connect countries on the continent. Under the royal family's instruction, the Pearl has been more of a "messenger" in recent years.

Today's continental map is complete except for the mysterious east.

But this "completeness" is only complete in appearance. At most, the exploration fleet discovers that there is a kingdom.

Many of these kingdoms have never done business with the outside world so far, and the outside world only knows them by a name, and some records taken from the navigation log, which are likely to be one-sided and biased.

Occasionally there are dragons and elves who come to the kingdom of Havre and can bring a word of these countries.

But there are very few people who can understand the language of the dragon, and the elves live in groups in the two major magic forests in the southern part of the mainland. Except for the big countries like Havre and Toust, the number of elves in other kingdoms is very small, and the news they can bring is quite large. limited.

At this time, a fleet like the Pearl will come in handy.

Whichever kingdom the Pearl landed in, it would not stop at nothing, but record the local customs and habits more systematically and comprehensively, and bring the royal family's letters to discuss with the local royal family or nobles, with a view to establishing long-term trade relations.

How to deal with the locals in the process and how not to violate their taboos is the top priority.

This requires the envoys to do some homework in advance based on limited information.

Before Klein took over the Pearl, the Pearl was a real merchant ship with a small tonnage, so it made money by doing some short-distance shipping.

Most of the crew members on the ship have never been to school, and some don't even know how to read.

Nata can read and write, but she has never liked to do these detailed paperwork.

In the past, anyone who needed to deal with the authorities was the former captain, that is, Nata's younger brother. Later, this task fell to Klein.

Now Nata sympathizes that Klein is too busy alone, and occasionally pinches his nose to help him share some.

But analyzing and comparing the existing materials gives her a headache, and sometimes she has to temporarily learn the languages ​​of other countries, which is even more difficult, so every time he collects the materials during the off-voyage period, and then tells the crew after deliberation Listen.

The Pearl has a certain degree of autonomy in choosing its route when it goes to sea. As long as it is submitted to the royal family for review and approval, it can get royal sponsorship.

During the three-month rest period, Klein had enough time to plan the route and sort out the information of the countries he passed.

When tidying up the yard a few days ago, he was using the sporadic time to look at the customs laws of some countries.

Originally, he could do things at any time, but because of the discomfort that day, he simply moved things to the beginning of the holiday, which could not only temporarily avoid embarrassment, but also finish the things that should be done in advance.

However, he thought well, but things may not develop in the direction he preset——

The biggest variable is Mephides.

For some reason, since teaching Klein how to play the piano, Mephides has often had some physical contact with him.

Sometimes I would touch his hand when passing things, sometimes I would suddenly appear behind him and lean over to look at the book in his hand. The distance was too close, so I couldn't help but touch my shoulder and smell each other's breath.

Once Klein noticed someone standing behind him looking back, and almost bumped into Mephides' profile.

After each contact, Mephides didn't have any special reaction, as if these were trivial matters not worth paying attention to.

Klein couldn't help thinking: Could it be that Mephides was also so close to Sweet when she was at home?

Sweet is more handsome than friendly, and the word "alienation" is written all over his body.

Having lived in Port Paloi for nearly half a year, Klein only saw him laugh once or twice, so it was hard to imagine him getting along with his sister.

The meaning behind the closeness can be big or small, if Mephides treats him as her elder brother, the occasional touch is really nothing to mention.

Klein always remembered that he was not, so he usually treated Mefidais well, and never thought of himself as her real relative.

Although he didn't deliberately avoid it, he never had any contact that shouldn't have happened.

Coupled with the strange reaction when he played the piano that day, he paid more and more one-sided attention.

Who knew that Mephides ignored Klein's intentional distance just like she ignored those intimate actions.

One morning, when Klein was making a sample soup in the kitchen, Mephides appeared at the kitchen door.

He just took a sip of saltiness, and when he saw Mephides, he decided to follow her taste and said, "Do you want to have a taste?"

Mephides walked over, and Klein was about to find another spoon for her, but she took the one used by Klein, scooped up a little bit of soup, brought it to her mouth, took a sip, paused for a while, and nodded, Then he returned the spoon to Klein very naturally, and left the kitchen.

Klein stood in the kitchen thinking for a long time, and finally rubbed his forehead with some headaches, thinking: I have to talk to Mephides.
