Chapter 54: Elaine and the Mermaid

With the sound of the voice, a thick fog suddenly formed on the lake, completely covering the black lake, "Please forgive me human, I don't want our meeting to be peeped by others." That nice voice was in Ethan again. My heart rang, but this time it became as crisp and sweet as a girl.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance of flowers came from the dense fog, and a slender figure slowly rose from the lake.

Ethan was surprised to find that there was a young girl in the lake. She had a delicate and beautiful face like a work of art, light green long hair draped over her shoulders, which was slightly soft, and a pair of emerald-like almonds. The big eyes, the fair and flawless skin revealed a touch of pink, and the thin lips were as tender as rose petals.

The girl's upper body got out of the lake, supported the lake with her arms, and was trying to climb out of the lake. The girl's upper body was properly covered by the diffuse mist. The mist seemed to be enchanted and would follow the girl to move back and forth. , The most surprising thing is that the girl's lower body is actually a fish body, with dark green scales flashing with brilliance, and at this time, she is swaying rapidly in the lake water with the strength of the girl.

Finally, with her own efforts, the girl finally climbed to the surface of the lake. The amazing thing was that the fishtail of the girl's lower body quickly turned into slender legs after it came out of the water, and the fish scales also turned into a dark green dress and quickly wrapped it. The legs of the girl who lived there showed only snow-white slender feet.

"Human, I heard your call...", "Hey!" The girl stood up immediately after landing, but it was obvious that the girl did not use her legs to walk, so she immediately called after taking a step. Staggering, leaping forward.

Ethan took a quick step forward and supported the girl who was about to fall. A blush instantly appeared on the girl's white and tender face. The mystery that the girl had brought to Ethan at the beginning was gone.

The girl who stabilized her figure was calm, and she stood upright, her hands dignifiedly crossed on her lower abdomen, and she quickly regained her dignified appearance, "Human, I heard your call, I am Elaine, the goddess of the Black Lake. ." Ethan could see the girl open her mouth to speak, but the girl's voice sounded in Ethan's heart.

Ethan looked at Elaine in surprise. He did not expect that the girl in front of him was actually a god. Elaine's appearance was very different from the dignified and solemn appearance of a **** in Ethan's imagination.

Despite some doubts in his heart, Ethan politely gave Elaine a chest salute, "Respected goddess of the lake, I am Ethan from Toussaint." Elaine's emerald green pupils appeared With a smile, the corners of his mouth raised in satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with Ethan's attitude.

"Ethan, our destinies have been intertwined." Elaine's expression became solemn and solemn, "It seems that the centaurs have acknowledged your bravery, Ethan, you should be rewarded as a hero." Wonder why Hogwarts centaurs, goddesses, and divination professor Trelawney all like to talk about fate and the like.

After speaking, Elaine stretched out her hand towards the surroundings and emptied it. A trace of embarrassment appeared on her delicate little face. Ethan keenly discovered the clue. Elaine forgot to bring the reward she just said. Ethan once again had doubts about the identity of this somewhat unreliable lake goddess.

Fortunately, Elaine quickly found a coping strategy. She squatted down and knocked on the water with her left hand like knocking on the door.

Soon, a mermaid swam towards Elaine from the depths of the lake. The mermaid's skin was iron gray, and the dark green hair was long and disheveled. Their eyes are yellow, their teeth are broken, they wear pebbles strung with thick ropes around their necks, and their strong and powerful silver tails slap the lake water, making the murlocs swim very fast.

When the mermaid approached the lake, Ethan noticed that it was holding a long thing in its arms. The mermaid seemed to be in awe of Elaine. When approaching Elaine, the mermaid obviously slowed down and lowered his head and dared not look. To Elaine, the mermaid held up the long thing with both hands, held some important ceremony, and respectfully presented the thing to Elaine.

Elaine casually grabbed what the mermaid offered, and waved her hand to drive the mermaid away. Before the mermaid left, she solemnly saluted Elaine. It seemed that whether Elaine was the goddess of the lake or not, she was there. The Black Lake Mermaid does have a very high status.

Mermaids are an intelligent species and have the qualifications to become humans, but they actively rejected this classification. The extent of their intelligence is unknown, but it is certain that they are more intelligent than most animals. Mermaid has its own mermaid language, and can even create music, UU reading www. uukanshu.com And this is the most common hobby of mermaids.

Merfolk are divided into different subspecies or races depending on where they live, those that live in warmer waters have a more beautiful appearance, while those that live in colder waters such as the Selki in Scotland and the Irish Milo, it's not that good-looking.

And the murloc tribe living in the Black Lake is precisely Selki, which also made Ethan curious about Elaine's identity.

There is evidence that merfolk have a thriving culture, as they live in highly organized communities, some of which make elaborate dwellings out of stone. In addition, they would domesticate creatures such as Grindylo, kraken, loba, and even use loba as weapons. Mermaids also make jewelry and weapons, create artwork such as sculptures, and perform basic communication through gestures.

The history of mermen can be traced back to ancient Greece, when they were called sirens. But in modern times, mermaids have spread all over the world.

The history of the relationship between mermaids and wizards, at least with the British Magical Government, seems a bit bumpy. Merfolk are excluded from this category according to Alfreda Cragg's definition of "man", the Speaker of the Wizarding Council, because merfolk are not "human-speaking creatures." Allies centaurs are a little lost.

By 1811, Minister Grogan Stump redefined "man" and made mermen eligible, but they voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become human because they were unwilling to be separated from dark creatures such as hyenas and vampires , although still considered a beast at the time, the merfolk were persuaded to attend a summit of the International Confederation of Wizards in 1692 to discuss how to prevent Muggles from becoming aware of the existence of many magical creatures.
