Blue Sword

"Can anyone understand what these fish are saying?"

Looking at the poor mermaids who kept chirping and chirping below and wanted to get close to the ship but didn't dare, Sidrifa asked a little irritably.

"They are mermaids, not fish." Nora could tell at a glance what Sidrifa was thinking (fishing), "Don't hunt them as whales."

"To be precise, it's a siren." Medea walked out of the cabin and said.

After her sudden appearance, everyone suddenly remembered that Medea had not been out for the past few days, and was sitting in the alchemy room of Hearth Island Manor, tinkering with something.

"Siren?" Sheila has also heard of this name.

This creature used to be abundant in the Aegean Sea. It liked to sit on the rocks and sing, inducing sailors from surrounding ships to jump into the sea and drown. Also, I heard that the main material of "Desire II" seems to come from Siren.

However, with the rise of the Eastern Solomon Empire in the Fourth Age, the extraordinary creatures in the Aegean Sea, such as sirens, harpies, and minotaurs, were basically hunted to death, so Sheila had never seen these monsters.

"Okay." Sidrifa pulled her long white hair and said distressedly, "Can anyone understand what these, uh, sirens are saying?"

"I can." Medea said confidently.

"Do you know Siren?" Sheila asked in surprise.

"No." Medea smiled lightly, "I can only read minds."

Mind reading...oh, mind reading! Nora suddenly understood.

As we all know, thoughts are not entirely made up of language. For example, when people think about bread, what comes to mind is probably not the word "bread", but some object in memory that represents bread.

For example, if someone loves to eat croissants, the first thing that comes to mind is the shape of the croissant; if someone loves to eat bagels, then the first thing that comes to mind is the bagels.

In other words, even if everyone in Cangqing Sword does not understand the mermaid pronunciation of "bread", as long as they read the thoughts of these mermaids, they can know the specific meaning of their chirping.

You can even learn a bit of mermaid language by the way... although it doesn't seem to make much sense.

So the two psychics began to read minds and translate them for everyone.

"Mighty land people!" The mermaids chirped, "Our family has surrendered to you, please don't kill us!"

What a simple and unpretentious answer... Asik thought like this and said:

"Sooth them."

Nora and Medea then used group psychic suggestions, and soon these mermaids seemed to have been reassured, and their originally uneasy expressions gradually softened.

After roughly communicating with these mermaids, everyone found out that they lived in the waters near the Azores Islands and had probably lived here for thousands of years.

As for why they stopped the Cang Qing Sword's ship, it was because... they had offended the heirs of the Poseidon.

"Poseidon?" The girls were confused. When did we offend Poseidon?

However, Nora soon got the answer from the mermaid's thoughts: The children of Poseidon are the offspring of Leviathan and a giant whale. They are similar in size to a slightly larger whale, but possess Leviathan's unique strong vitality.

Because the Cangqing Sword and others had hurt the children of Poseidon in the nearby sea area, the mermaids were afraid that it would not be able to find these humans when it came back for revenge, and would vent its anger on them, so they forcibly tried to keep these humans.

Nora:………………

"Hidliba." She sighed helplessly, "We are in big trouble this time."

After explaining the matter to everyone in this way, others were also speechless. However, Hilda Lifa was still a little unconvinced and shouted:

"I said we should kill it in advance! It's fine now, it's going to bring Poseidon back to seek revenge on us!"

"Why does this mean 'it should be killed in advance'?" Nora was almost overwhelmed by her logic. "After all, you shouldn't shoot randomly into the sea with a whale gun!"

"That's because I made a bet with the leader." Hidliba defended, "I must find the whale and show it to him!"

Asker:? ? ?

"Captain." Nora showed a helpless expression, "It doesn't matter that Hildrifa is ignorant, why are you following her around?"

"This..." Asik wanted to defend, but to defend would be to shift all the responsibility to Hildafa, so he changed his mind and changed the subject with a smile:

"It is useless to find out who is responsible now. The top priority is to go to the island as soon as possible and hide the ship."

"Go to the island?" The girls were a little confused. Didn't you just say you wanted to go around it? Why did it suddenly change to going to the island to hide the ship?

"Of course it's because we learned about the existence of Leviathan." Seeing everyone's confusion, Ask explained, "Have you almost forgotten about the demonic tide?"

When he said this, the girls suddenly remembered that the last demonic wave was in Solomon City in June last year, and a year had passed before they knew it.

For the current level limit of Lv.20, most girls actually feel nothing. Only Peggy and Ask, who have been promoted to Lv.20 and become demigods, immediately feel the spiritual oppression of the surrounding environment.

Considering that the higher the demigod level, the higher the probability of being corroded and losing sanity, such a level cap is actually a good thing. But as time goes by, this oppression is gradually loosening - obviously the next round of Level 25 demonic tide is coming.

Every time a demonic tide comes, it is often accompanied by riots of extraordinary monsters and the emergence of a large number of mutations. 5 to 10, the city of Olympia was besieged; 10 to 15, everyone hid in the Weisbach Palace in Bavaria, but was not affected; 15 to 20, the mutation of the ectoplasmic tree almost destroyed the city of Solomon.

This time 20 rises to 25, Cang Qing Sword will most likely spend time at sea. If the so-called son of Poseidon takes the opportunity to bring back a large number of extraordinary ocean creatures for revenge, and directly sinks the ship with a tsunami, then everyone will probably have no choice but to hide in Hearth Island in despair, and let Peggy, as a demigod, take the ancient book with her Fly back to the mainland.

Thinking about it this way, it would be safer and safer to hide on the island and wait for the demonic tide to come, and then deal with the Poseidon's descendant (if it really comes back for revenge).

So Nora and Medea communicated with the mermaids, using half-baked mermaid language and spiritual hints, roughly explaining that they "planned to stay on the island for a while", which immediately made the mermaids overjoyed.

They have realized that their own clan is no match for these people, so if the other party forces them to leave, the mermaids cannot force them to stay. You may have to bear the wrath of Poseidon's descendants in the future.

Okay now, the other party plans to stay near the island. If the children of Poseidon come to find them at that time, they will only need to drill down to the deep seabed and wait for the winner to be decided above.

If these people die, after the Poseidon's descendants calm down, they will naturally not embarrass these mermaids; if the Poseidon's descendants die... wouldn't it be better? In short, the mermaid clan is definitely not at a loss.

Therefore, these mermaids, whose upper bodies looked like humans and whose lower bodies had fish tails, immediately showed flattering smiles and diligently guided the Cang Qing Sword people's ships to the island port.
