Master Tongtian

Blue sea.

The mermaid seemed interested in the painting.

After being silent for more than ten seconds, she pointed towards a small oval island several hundred meters in diameter to the east: "Go over there and tell us more about it."

Rosen still felt a little guilty and looked at Afu: "Is there a safety issue?"

Afu shook her head: "Don't worry, between the two of us, she doesn't dare to do anything."

In this case, Rosen flew Sky 2 to the small island and slowly docked on it.

After a while, Rosen, Afu, and Emilia were standing on the island. After waiting for a while, the sound of crashing waves came from the seaside, and a group of gushing waves carried the mermaid lord to the island.

When you get up close, you can see that there is really no difference between the upper body of this mermaid and that of a human being.

She has thick, long dark blue hair that shines with pearl luster, and a pair of beautiful eyes as blue as the sea, as if filled with dreams.

His upper body was wearing a latex-like translucent garment that was probably made of some kind of fish skin and was shaped like a human waist-baring vest.

The lower body was wearing a short skirt made of the same material, which barely covered her plump crotch. There were many shining pearls sewn on the fish skin, which looked very beautiful.

There is a lot of exposed skin, the color is snow-white and crystal clear, the texture is somewhat like jelly, and there is a delicate and cute belly button on her waist.

As soon as he saw this belly button, an idea flashed in Rosen's mind.

"Hmm~ It's viviparous, so it's a mammal. That thing on the chest shouldn't be a decoration."

As long as they are mammals, the blood relationship between the two parties is not too far, the physical gap is not too big, there will be many common topics, and there will be a lot of synesthesia.

This laid a good foundation for transactions between the two parties.

From this perspective, this is a human being, not a fish.

It shouldn’t be called a mermaid, it should be called a fish mermaid.

After the Mermaid Lord stood still, Rosen, as the only mortal present, bowed and saluted.

"The noble and beautiful Lord of the Ocean, Rosen Philander, the God-given Earl of Beluga Island, salutes you. I also ask for your name."

The mermaid lord also nodded slightly to Rosen: "My name is Fischer."

She looked at Af and Emilia again: "What do you call them?"

"Alfroya."

"Emilia."

After everyone reported their names, Mermaid Lord Fischer got straight to the point.

"I have heard about the paintings of mainlanders and I like them very much, but these paintings are destroyed as soon as they are soaked in water and cannot be preserved for a long time in humid places."

Rosen immediately said: "I don't think this is a problem. The problem can be solved using magic."

"In addition, we land people do not only have paintings, but also all kinds of exquisite jewelry, rust-proof metal utensils, and delicious spices and drinks that are absolutely not found in the ocean."

Fischer was indeed very interested: "Can metal prevent rust in seawater?"

"Yes, there are many anti-rust methods to ensure that no rust will appear after being soaked in seawater for decades."

"That's really nice."

After a simple compliment, her topic returned to the painting.

"I once picked up a very beautiful oil painting near a wrecked ship. The protagonist in the painting is a woman. She looks coquettish and behaves slutty, but she is also very beautiful. It left a very deep impression on me."

Upon hearing this, Alfroya pointed at Rosen and said, "What a coincidence, this mortal lord happens to be a master of erotic paintings."

Rosen coughed in embarrassment and corrected him seriously.

"To be precise, I am a master of painting. It's just that erotic paintings are more profitable, so I paint more."

Lord Fischer became very interested: "To be called a master by an extraordinary person, you must have extraordinary skills. You can draw a picture for me to see. If it satisfies me, I can start the transaction."

In this case, Rosen will naturally show off his skills.

There are no painting tools at hand, but a true master can draw with just a piece of charcoal, or even use magic to draw.

After thinking for a while, he said: "If Lord Fischer doesn't mind, I can carve a sketch for you on the rock surface of the island."

"Ha~ interesting, then let's carve it."

In her age, this is the first time someone has painted her likeness.

Rosen said: "Lord, I need to observe you carefully to find a suitable angle for painting, so please relax."

Fischer nodded: "Just take a look."

The other party was just a mortal, nothing could threaten her, and she didn't care about the other party's observations.

So, Rosen walked around Fischer and used the flying technique to fly up, down, left and right, and came to a conclusion.

"This mermaid is really not bad looking. If you ignore the tail, she is a great beauty."

"The figure is very good. Viewed from the back, ignoring the fishtail, she looks like an OL girl wearing a narrow office skirt from another world."

I quickly picked a good angle, then picked up a stone and shaped it into a stone paintbrush.

Then I unleashed an invincible force on the brush to enhance its edge, and then found a flat rock wall to start printing.

‘Swish, brush, brush~~’

As the blade jumped, clusters of stone powder fell down. About a quarter of an hour later, a mural 1 meter wide and 2 meters long appeared on the rock wall. It was Fischer standing on the gushing waves.

After finishing the painting, the three women stood in front of the mural and watched it.

Afu said: "Rosen, please draw a few pictures for me when you get back."

Amelia responded immediately: "The paintings are really good, I want a few of them too."

Fischer's eyes were also bright when he saw it. After looking around the mural for several minutes, he felt that he in the painting was particularly energetic, beautiful, and had a mysterious and powerful temperament.

It looks much better than when I look in the mirror.

But after all, it’s just a mural, and it can’t be removed even if you pick it out, and the fineness is not enough.

There was a look of satisfaction and regret on her face.

"It is indeed very good, and the lord's painting skills are indeed worthy of the title of master. Then, let's open a trading post on the beach."

"In exchange for the painting, I will give you some pearls."

"What's the price? How about a waterproof painting and a gold pearl?"

Rosen is not satisfied, because this small transaction is of little use to him. His biggest strategic goal is to use the archipelago to raise fish and become the back granary of Beluga Island.

So, he considered: "Lord Fischer, can you expand the scale of the transaction?"

"Oh, how big do you want to open it?"

"Is it okay to buy fish for 1 million diras a year?"

Fischer was slightly shocked: "You want to eat so much fish?"

"Actually, I want more, and after my observation, I found that your territory can easily raise so many fish."

"Of course, fish need to eat something, such as grass, but we have plenty of this grass on land."

Fischer understood, his face darkened slightly, and he looked displeased.

"So, you want me to help you raise fish?!"

Rosen shook his head quickly: "No, no, it's a fair deal."

"We on the mainland will also try our best to provide you with what you need. As long as you ask for something, we on the mainland will do our best to satisfy it."

"And if one day, a force majeure beast breaks in, we land people will also fight side by side with you."

After saying this, the anger on Fischer's face lightened slightly.

"I can't agree to you for the time being, because I don't know what good things you can bring me."

"Let's do this. Let's both go back and write a list to see what each of us needs, and then expand the deal as much as possible, okay?"

Rosen nodded immediately: "Of course! But how can I contact you?"

Fischer thought for a moment, then took a pearl from her skirt and handed it to Rosen.

"This is a mana pearl. As long as you come to this island and pour your mana into it, I will feel it and rush to see you."

"Understood."

This is a key strategy that determines whether Beluga Island can resist the mainland's resource blockade and is very important.

Rosen decided to prepare well when he returned, draw up a list, and expand the scale of the transaction as much as possible.

After that, the three of them got on the plane and returned to Beluga Island.

On the plane, Emilia whispered a piece of news.

"The mermaids here don't know. But the mermaids over there in the Continent of the Gods like to eat barbecue, especially grilled lamb chops."

Rosen's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately believed 90% of what he said.

He had carefully observed the other person's mouth just now. No matter the shape or teeth, they were not much different from humans. Moreover, the other person was also viviparous and breastfed, so the taste must be similar to that of humans.

But there is no way to make a fire in the sea, so the daily diet is mainly raw food, usually fish, which is definitely not as sweet and delicious as barbecue steak.

Afu also found it interesting and asked, "How much do you like to eat?"

"There are many poor and ugly bachelors in the Gods' Continent who can't find wives. They use barbecue to lure mermaids and get a chance to have fun."

Afu was startled: "Is it worth it for one bite?"

Looking at Fischer's appearance, she would be an extremely beautiful woman in mainland China. When paired with a bachelor who is poor, ugly, and definitely dirty, she feels like a little white sheep being raped by a wild boar.

Emilia smiled softly: "Don't be fooled by Fischer's good looks and think that all mermaids are beauties, and there are also many ugly ones."

So that's it.

Rosen said: "Then next time I will bring barbecue to lure Fischer. With luck, I may be able to increase my bargaining chips."

After saying that, Afu looked at him with a strange look.

Rosen was startled, then thought of something, and hurriedly explained: "Afu, what are you thinking about?!"

Afu spread her hands and said, "I didn't think about anything. It was you who was imagining things."

"How could you possibly know what I'm thinking?"

"Because I can see some of your thoughts."

"But I didn't even think about it just now."

Amelia was very confused when she heard this: "What kind of riddle are you two playing? Why can't I understand clearly?"

Afu coughed lightly, ended this slightly embarrassing topic, and said, "It's nothing, just some personal topics."

Then he added: "Liya, when you and Rosen learn logic spells, be careful to keep a distance from Rosen."

"Why?"

"You'll know."

Rosen felt very embarrassed and immediately changed the subject: "Then will you come with me next time?"

Afu nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

But Emilia shook her head: "That's not necessary. The mermaid has a very upright character. Love is love, hate is hate. If she is willing to come out to see you, she will not take the initiative to attack you."

"And if you show unnecessary caution, it will trigger the other party's rejection."

Rosen was still a little worried: "I'm just afraid that the mermaids here are different from those in the Continent of the Gods."

Emilia smiled and said: "Pure water told me that it is the same."

Afu was not as confident as Emilia. After thinking about it, she said to Rosen: "The distance is not far anyway. If there is any danger, just call me in your heart."

Rosen was completely reassured: "Thank you, Afu."
