Dozo America

The cool lake water was around her, but the mermaid couldn't take another step forward. Her beautiful face began to slowly turn gray. After turning into a fish again, her body could not stay on land for two hours, so in time

As time went by, she really felt that she was going to die.

"You said you have lived for five hundred years, so who will prove that you are a mermaid who has lived for five hundred years?" Claire couldn't help but shake her head, then squatted down, looked at this almost dying mermaid and said with a smile, "

Are you the only one in this lake? I mean, are you the only mermaid? Didn't I hear that mermaids live in groups?"

"I also want to know why I turned into a mermaid. I didn't originally live in the water, I was just a human being. I am a Spaniard. Columbus's last voyage to the Americas greatly stimulated the Kingdom of Spain and Portugal at that time.

So... twenty years after the death of Columbus, we... prepared to go to America again. Our voyage was a secret voyage because it involved a large amount of treasure. Later, after the Spaniards landed and

One of the deals the Indians made. We should

The captain at that time...that is, my father, discovered a meteorite, and the local legend was that whoever could get the meteorite would be immortal. This was the same as the legend of the Fountain of Youth spread by pirates at that time.

People are fascinated. And my father is a devotee

I came to look for this treasure under the orders of Queen Isabella of Spain, but I boarded the boat secretly, and they didn't find me until the boat was halfway through." The mermaid seemed to be telling a story, but her voice was a bit low.

, and slowly his head began to hang down.

This is a near-death phenomenon. Claire grabbed the mermaid's hand and dragged her to the water's edge. With a gentle push, the mermaid's body turned over and was immersed in the water. As soon as she entered the water, she felt

, the fish's tail swung with a "whoosh", and then its whole body slowly began to twist. After the last turn, she regained her vitality. She immersed her body in the water and lay on a stone.

He looked at Claire and waved to Claire.

The mermaid who had regained her breath was not scary. Claire had never climbed over her at all. Even when she was at her most powerful, she had never been afraid. Moreover, although the mermaid now had regained her breath, she was not afraid at all.

There was no murderous intention towards Claire. Claire slowly walked towards the mermaid. Then she sat in front of the stone where she was lying and looked into her eyes.

"What's your name?" Claire asked, "After all these years, what have you relied on to maintain your life? Prey on fish, shrimps or aquatic plants in the water? You know...according to you, you used to be

How can humans get used to such food?" Claire was more like a curious baby at this time. She didn't believe such legends, but she didn't believe them at all. Overall, there was evidence that what this mermaid said was true.

Right?

"It was difficult at first, but in order to survive...sometimes I had to do something that surprised me. It was a stormy time. It was noon...our people and the Indians were confronting each other.

.During the transaction, a conflict occurred. We used the gold robbed and defrauded from this continent and the one who controlled it.

The Indian chief made a deal with the meteorite, but mutual distrust led to mutual attacks... God... that day... it was such a tragic day..." The mermaid was stunned, as if recalling what happened five hundred years ago.

That scene. Maybe she could forget the rest of the things, but the scene on that day was something she could never forget.

"Kill them..." It wasn't just someone who shouted. Then they hid behind the rocks. The matchlock gun wrapped in oil paper opened fire. Hiding in a dry place, the matchlock gun could fire their bullets as soon as possible.

There was a "bang" of smoke. Then the chief holding the wooden box containing the meteorite was hit and fell to the ground dead. At the same time, the Indian bows and arrows also began to attack the group of Spaniards.

There was a loud "Boom", and a cannonball whizzed past the crowd. The huge round cannonball rolled out with a blood line. Then there was a second roar, and the Indians were initially frightened.

But soon they discovered that except for these two sounds, there was no more bombardment sound, so the two sides fought again.

Due to the heavy rain, only two more rounds of artillery were fired, and the rest were already soaked. And the muskets had all lost their effect after one round of shooting. The Spaniards raised their spear needles, and some people used them.

The longbow started shooting. The two defenses were fighting fiercely for the meteorite.

People kept falling down, making wailing sounds, and people kept charging forward with spears. During this period, the Spanish soldiers were the most courageous soldiers, and they were fearless during this period. Long knives

The sounds of being chopped into bones, the sound of sharp arrows being inserted into the body, and the sound of spears being pierced through the body, came one after another in this rainy weather. The shouts of killing seemed dull and cruel in the wind and rain.

Everyone went ashore, and they were all engaged in a war, a battle with the local Indian tribe, but only this little girl was still crawling at the bottom of the cabin, not daring to breathe. Listening to the vague sounds outside, there were

The faint cry of death made her tremble all over.

From noon to Huang, it was very calm outside, and the heavy rain stopped. The little girl slowly walked out of the cabin. She felt hungry, but no one returned to the boat.

She never came back. So when she slowly and carefully came out of the cabin, the sunshine after the heavy rain made everything here steamy, as if it was evaporating the moisture in the human body.

The little girl walked slowly, crossing one corpse after another. Among them were the sailors and soldiers she had seen before, as well as the indigenous people who had nothing to wear. The little girl tightened her heart and did not let go.

She cried on her own. She was a strong girl to begin with. She didn't want to disrupt what her father was doing because of her crying.

But... when she found her father in the pile of corpses, he was already dying, but he was still holding a wooden box tightly.

"Dad--" The little girl finally felt that her patience had reached the limit. She finally burst into tears, and then desperately threw herself at her father's side, constantly shaking the middle-aged man who was about to die. A strong man,

This also allowed him to stay awake for a moment.

"Take it, take it and leave here, far away from here... God bless you, child... run!" This was a father's last instruction. The little girl was trembling. She wanted to run, but she couldn't.

But in the deep forest, the sound of the Indians making "ouch" could be faintly heard.

"Go quickly -" the middle-aged man finally stood up with support, his eyes were round and even filled with blood as he looked at the little girl, and shouted loudly, "Get out - get away, remember."

Live...Only if you die can you give up this wooden box and get out-"

The little girl ran away in a hurry. She fled towards the secret woods on the other side. When she turned around, she saw an Indian waving a sharp wooden stick and piercing his father's body.

"Do you know what this feels like?" The mermaid's tone sounded gloomy. "Seeing my father being killed, I once thought about killing all the Indians. But... I couldn't do it.

"

"So you've never killed anyone?" Claire sneered at her mockingly, "I don't believe this. There are many legends about mermaids. They kill people and eat human flesh. They are everywhere from Europe to America.

You can hear the legend of the mermaid, and only Andersen would describe the mermaid as a kind and beautiful girl who would live a happy life with the prince."

"Andersen? I've heard of this man...many years after our world, I heard of him, but I didn't know that he would write about mermaids like this." The mermaid girl smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "I don't know.

I know what the legend is about mermaids, but in this lake, I am the only one... and there is no one else."

"In fact, in this world, except for you, who is alive, the rest have only appeared in legends and fictitious reports. No one has seen it with their own eyes. Until now, except me!" Claire shook her head.

He shook his head and smiled, "So people in this world still regard mermaids as legendary creatures. Before this, I also thought the same, uh... where did you just say... how did you escape?"

"Because of that meteorite!" the mermaid said, and the long-lasting image flashed in her eyes. Yes, she will never forget it. As she fled, her physical fitness got better and better, and she continued to grow.

She was tall, but the group of Indians pursued her relentlessly until they knew she had entered another Indian's territory.

The life of escape was over, but she did not dare to fight the Indians anymore. She could only stop next to a lake. It was very peaceful here. She built a lake with her body and arms that gradually became very powerful.

In a small wooden house, she usually makes a living by fishing and hunting some small animals. She is happy

She wandered in the forest and swam freely in the lake, and because of the meteorite, her body was also changing. Until one day, she discovered that she could swim freely in the lake, and her body was constantly changing.

During the change, she encountered a group of uninvited guests.

Throughout the upper class of Spain, legends of meteorites that could make people immortal were circulating. Group after group of people were sent to this new continent. They followed the clues of the battle that day, and then began to move towards this place.

Search across the continent.

Until one day, they discovered such a cabin in this huge lake. Indian cabins definitely did not exist like this, nor would they be built in such a European style. So they were overjoyed.

They surrounded the cabin. But they found nothing, so they set fire to the cabin. Not far away, the girl was standing in the woods trembling, as if she had returned to the battlefield of that nightmare day.
