Chapter 204: The Old Woman Caught in the Sea
When Sisia returned home, Helia did not find out that she had left, and took two potions, she hesitated for a long time and did not go to Helia, but according to Aunt Liuersai's instructions, she put it away first, and then took it out when everyone found that she was no longer at the bottom of the sea.
She didn't wait too long.
There is no sun or moon on the bottom of the sea, but the same method of timekeeping is still used on the surface of the sea, except that the time is judged by a kind of aquatic plant called "sunshine kelp".
On the third day after she left Aunt Lursa's hut, the news spread among the mermaids that Pros drank the potion and turned into a human and went to land.
The mermaids fell into a panic.
Several high-ranking and powerful people convened a discussion meeting in the palace of the shark clan under the convening of the shark king.
As a descendant of the royal family and her father's favorite daughter, Sicia was taken by her father to attend the seminar.
Then she was frightened by the sudden angry roar of the elders who had always been calm and noble and cold at all times.
"I said it a long time ago!! That traitor in Lursai can't stay!! ”
"GLP is not determined, he thought about becoming a human decades ago, and it is not only the fault of Lulsai who has rejected him for so many years, but he has not always insisted on it."
"Whoever it's fault!! GLP! Lursey! And Ifemo! They should all be expelled! The pure sea cannot accommodate filthy humans!! ”
Because it was the mermaid king who presided over the discussion, it was the father of Iphimo, so everyone had consciously avoided the little princess in the previous discussions, and only talked about Rulser and Pros, and when someone suddenly mentioned Iphimo and expelled her, the hall fell into a brief silence.
Everyone's eyes wandered between the speaker and the shark king, waiting to see the shark king's attitude.
The shark king stared at the man expressionlessly, seeing that he was in a cold sweat, and then realized that he was the first to step into the minefield, and shouted in his heart that he was unlucky.
However, the expected storm did not appear, and after staring at him for a while, the mermaid king looked away and looked around the hall, passing around everyone's faces, as if to see their attitude.
"Go on, this is a big deal, and if it is not resolved, it will be a scourge for the entire race."
The discussion continued, but no one dared to mention the little princess again.
Sicia listened like pins and needles, and wanted to interrupt everyone and tell them that Aunt Lursai was not the kind of person they said she was, but she knew that this was not the occasion for her to speak, and she was already very lucky to be able to listen.
After a whole afternoon, a group of people finally came to a final conclusion.
Because Pros had already left the sea, he was put to the back of the matter, and the unstable dìng factor that had been settled on the bottom of the sea had to be expelled!
"In any case, humanity belongs to the land after all, and we used to tolerate her staying at the bottom of the sea because of our mermaid origins, but now we know how wrong this decision was, and now we must correct it!"
When the results of the discussion came out, the mermaid ordered that the palace guards go and "invite" Lursai to leave the sea, and if necessary, to demolish the hut.
Everyone knew what that hut meant, because more than one person had exchanged it for what they needed, and even though it was a symbol of filth, it was also a secret of mystery and omnipotence, and many people were outwardly unwavering in their support when they heard the mermaid king's order, but in their hearts they cried out for pity.
I can't easily exchange items for anything in the future......
The guards set off, and Sixia pestered her father to take her over to watch, but she couldn't resist her, so the middle-aged handsome uncle had to take his daughter to follow the guards not far away.
Anyway, he is a royal family, and even if everyone sees it, they won't say anything.
However, to his surprise, when he was halfway there, he inadvertently turned back, only to find that there was a huge group of people behind him, and when he saw them, he showed a flattering smile.
Rolling his eyelids helplessly, Uncle Shuai took his daughter's hand tighter, ignored the crowd of onlookers behind him, and continued to swim forward.
The guards surrounded the old witch's real room.
However, no matter how much the captain of the guard shouted, no one inside came out to answer.
Twenty minutes passed, and the captain of the guard was ready to be demolished.
"Wait a minute......"
A timid voice rang out from the crowd of onlookers.
The captain of the guard was about to wave his hand in mid-air, and when he turned around, he found that Sicia had cautiously poked his head out of the crowd with something in his hand.
The captain of the guard is also a member of the royal family, and he is still related to Sisia, and when he saw that it was she who spoke out, his attitude involuntarily softened a lot: "It turned out to be Sicia, is there any problem?" ”
"You ...... No need to demolish the house. Sicia spread her palm, and a brass-colored key rested squarely on her palm, "I have the key to the hut." ”
The crowd fell into a mysterious silence, and the way everyone looked at Sicia was a little strange, so that the courage that she had finally mustered up immediately collapsed, and tears kept rolling in her eyes, and she was about to condense into two teardrops and roll down.
Uncle Shuai took his daughter into his arms, forced him to look at the group of people around him, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in a domineering tone: "You guys, do you have something to say?" ”
The crowd of onlookers looked away in unison, looking at the sky and the earth, and the pressure on Sicia disappeared in an instant.
The captain of the guard swam to the father and daughter with a flick of his tail and took the key.
"Thank you very much, I will submit an application for recognition to His Majesty."
Uncle Shuai tilted his head and looked at him with his nostrils: "No need, I can do this kind of trivial matter as a father." ”
The captain of the guard looked at him, said nothing, turned and left.
The door of the hut was quickly opened, the room was not large, and it could be seen at a glance when standing at the door, although the mermaids could not enter this room full of air, as long as they were not blind, they could see that the house was empty.
The hooded witch who had been waiting in the hut for everyone to come over and change things at all times had been gone for an unknown amount of time.
The captain of the guard stood in the doorway, bewildered.
Uncle Shuai glanced down at Sixia and asked her in a low voice, "Do you know anything?" ”
Sicia buried her face in her father's arms and said nothing.
"I know that Ryulsey is Helia's sister, and Helia told me that you seem to have a good relationship with her, otherwise you wouldn't have the key to the hut."
“……”
"Say it, I promise no one will hurt you back."
“……”
"Hmm...... Nor will anyone hurt Rulse. ”
“……”
"They weren't going to hurt her, they just wanted her to go to land."
Slowly, Sixia lifted half of her head and peeked at her father.
"You should trust your people."
“…… Aunt Lursa...... Went to land. ”
"Huh?"
"She said that when she returns, the mermaids will accept her again, and she will bring back Uncle Pros and Sister Iphimo."
"What is she going to do? Why do you say that? ”
"I don't know, but I think ...... She shouldn't be able to lie, although Aunt Liuersai is now human, but after all, she used to be a shark, and the shark clan will not lie. ”
Uncle Shuai lowered his head and groaned for a while, coughed lightly, and looked at the palace guards.
Hearing this deliberate cough, the captain of the guard looked back at him, knowing that he should have something to say.
"Go back, your mission is done."
Done?
What is done?
The guards and the onlookers were confused.
But the captain of the guard understood what he meant, glanced thoughtfully at the top of his head, and then at Sicia who was hiding in his father's arms and secretly watched him, closed the door of the hut casually, and waved his big hand: "Close!" ”
A group of people came running mightily, returning to the residence of the shark tribe in a sparse manner, and the shark people encountered along the way were a little unclear, so they stepped forward to pull the acquaintances to ask the reason, but after getting the answer, they were more confused than before asking.
A chaotic affair caused by the old witch Ryusa ends with the occasional guard wandering around the hut to make sure that the owner has not returned, and the three "humans" who have left the bottom of the sea are gradually forgotten.
In the end, Helia couldn't get rid of her daughter and drank the two potions, and the next day the pain on her body was healed, but she stubbornly claimed that it was a gift from the sea god and had nothing to do with the filthy human of Lulsey.
However, Sicia keenly noticed that her mother's tone had changed markedly when she talked about Aunt Lursa, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
No matter how dark tides are surging under the sea, human merchant ships are still busy with trade activities on the sea, and from time to time cargo ships capsize due to strong winds and waves, and there are few survivors.
On this day, a merchant ship named "Black Pearl II" survived a storm and found a merchant ship facing the sea not far away.
The crew reported the discovery to the captain, who immediately picked up a telescope to check the situation.
"It's the 'Gilded', this lucky man in the storm has finally spent all the luck that God has bestowed on them today, go, go over and see, if there are survivors to absorb it on our ship, I hope there will be some cargo left on the Gild, and there is still room for our warehouse."
Ten minutes later.
"Captain! There's a guy lying on a piece of driftwood over there, probably alive! ”
"Catch it, stupid, your first day as a sailor?? Do you want me to teach you?! ”
"Yes!"
……
"Captain! It's an old woman! ”
"Woman?! No wonder the lucky gilt at sea will capsize, hurry up and throw it at me! I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Gild! ”
……
"The ship... Captain long long!! ”
"Why are you so nervous?!"
"That old woman... Two shark tears hanging from his neck! ”
"What?!" The captain bounced out of his seat, "Did you throw it down?" Scoop it up!! ”
"She hasn't thrown it yet, she's awake, she'll do magic!"
"A mage with shark tears?" The captain was just about to step out of the cabin, and his brows furrowed tightly, "Why is it a woman!" ”
“…… Captain? ”
"Stabilize her first and call the first mate over!"
"Yes!"
……
"Captain, ahhhh
"What's the name of the !! Be careful I throw you down to feed the sharks!! ”
"That old woman is still a pharmacist! She can also speak spiritually! She doesn't speak human words, but she speaks fish words, our boat...... Surrounded by fish!! ”
