Chapter 44: The Way Home
"Where are we going?" Reaching out and patting Leo's hand on his shoulder, Carefree with a hint of anger, flashed in front of Leo and asked impatiently.
Since leaving that room, Leo has been on the road with Sanssouci non-stop, and now that most of the day has passed, there is still no sign of the Naga tribe, which makes Sanssou a little unbearable.
At this time, she stared at Leo viciously with her hands on her hips, looking like I wouldn't leave if you didn't say it.
may be affected by Leo's simple personality, and the carefree in front of Leo is extraordinarily real, completely fading the mask of the usual little adult, revealing his true nature.
Looking at the puffing and worry-free, Prince Naga, who had a very low laugh, laughed again.
"Say it quickly, or I won't leave!!" Carefree urged impatiently again.
Looking at the carefree who was a little angry was really cute, Leo couldn't help but touch her head.
He was stunned for a moment when he did this, as if he was standing opposite Brother Wu, and Brother Wuwu always liked to touch his head so dotingly.
"Okay, it's coming, we're going to the Naga tribe, my mother's birthday is tomorrow, let's go back a day early to get ready!"
While stroking carefree's long silky hair, Leo soothed him as if he was comforting his sister.
For a moment, he was carefree, and he was immersed in the long-lost warmth and couldn't extricate himself.
"Ha Luha, stupid, I was shocked by the gentleness and thoughtfulness of Prince Ben!"
It is undeniable that Leo is indeed powerful, as if he has the ability to spoil the atmosphere, and with a single sentence, he brought back the carefree that was originally somewhat indulged in warmth.
Disdainfully reached out and waved away the hand that touched the top of her head, the loneliness in her worry-free eyes flashed, and she didn't refute, she turned her head and walked straight ahead.
withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, but the nervous Prince Leo never knew what he said wrong, which made the people in front of him unhappy.
As a creature that lives at the bottom of the sea all year round, Leo caught up with him in a few steps.
Looking at Carefree's slightly gloomy face, Leo also knew that he didn't speak, and only diligently pointed out the way for Carefree when he encountered a key intersection.
"How much longer?"
Seeing that Wuwu took the initiative to speak, Leo immediately said attentively: "It's fast, it's fast, just swim for another half an hour!" ”
Listening to Leo's explanation, Sanssouci was speechless, because this prince had said this many times, but the result was that after countless half hours, they were still here, which doubted whether the prince could go home safely when he went out alone.
I don't know if I heard the voice of worry-free, or if I was weak, Prince Leo patted his chest again and promised: "This time it's true, as long as you swim past this coral group, you can see my house after turning a corner." ”
Listening to Leo's words, she couldn't help but stop, she strongly suppressed her anger and asked, "Are you sure you swam past this coral group and then turned?" ”
"Yes! This is my home! The bottom of the sea is my place! I'm cooked! ”
Listening to Leo's repeated assurances, Carefree really couldn't stand it, even if he was a road idiot like him, she could still see that the two of them were simply circling around the coral group again, although most of the corals looked the same, but Carefree clearly recognized the different boulder.
The white boulder stands out against the flaming corals, and is carved into several large, powerful letters: Graniwin.
I am very familiar with this name, so I was very impressed by this stone.
On their previous journeys, they had seen such stones three or four times, and if it weren't for the fact that there was only one part of the entire sea, then they were obviously spinning in place.
"Is there only one stone in the whole sea?" Pointing to the stone engraved with Graniwin's name, he angrily asked Leo.
"Of course! This is the only one like the other! Raising his head proudly, as if the stone was his own, Leo's voice was a little raised.
Hearing this answer, Worry-free collapsed, and there was no hope that this road idiot would lead the way.
"Why do you ask this? Speaking of this stone, there is a story behind it? ”
Attracted by Leo's second half of the sentence, Wuwu swallowed back the words that he originally wanted to scold this road idiot, looked at Leo with interest, and motioned for him to continue.
"Hehe, want to know Lu Dao? Kiss me and I'll tell you! As he spoke, Leo half-crouched down and brought his underbeaten face in front of him.
Stretching out his hand to block the face of this strange prince, Carefree said with some anger: "I'm a man, don't you Naga people like the same sex?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Leo with disdain.
"Just you? Male? Ha Luha, it may be possible to deceive others, but in the eyes of our Naga, even a magic weapon can't hide your gender, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were a woman, otherwise how could this prince be so kind and heroic to save the beauty! ”
was debunked by Leo's gender, and his carefree face instantly became difficult to see, this is the second time in several years that someone can see his true gender, the first is Mia, and the second is Prince Naga in front of him.
I suddenly remembered that Naga had evolved from dark elves before, and it was okay to think about it like this.
Perhaps it was Zhilu who said that he had lost his words, and Leo also opened the topic quite familiarly: "Don't worry, little girl, this is the secret between us, I won't tell you." Would you like to hear the story of that stone? ”
As a mutated dark elf, Leo has naturally maintained a tradition of pride, and the noble elves who know the way of worry-free do not disdain to lie, so they automatically turned the page and nodded for him to continue.
Prince Leo, who successfully opened the topic, smiled with satisfaction, and then looked at a stone not far away, and said slowly:
"Ten thousand years ago, Princess Granivan of the mermaid tribe ran away from home, and for three years, the king did not find the whereabouts of his beloved daughter, and finally one day three years later, the queen sensed the breath of the goddess's scepter."
Speaking of this, Carefree's body staggered suddenly, because she was so familiar with this story.
Not noticing the carefree changes, Leo continued: "But it was this aura that brought the mermaid tribe to the top of the wind, and the mural of the goddess of life, which had been silent for many years, actually lit up from that day, such a treasure light attracted the attention of countless strong human beings, and for a time the mermaid tribe also became the target of human powerhouses. ”
"Jessica, the mermaid queen, travels alone to the human continent in search of a woman, while the king leads his subjects to the glory of the goddess, the guardian of the goddess. Humans are greedy, and if it weren't for their merfolk tribe, they wouldn't be."
Speaking of this, Leo couldn't help but glance at Carefree, but from Carefree's eyes, he only saw endless sadness, and he was happy in his heart, he knew that Carefree was not that kind of person, and she came here to find the mermaid tribe must not be the same as those greedy humans.
"What happened to the merfolk tribe?" Carefree eyes suddenly moistened, and she didn't know why she was crying, but the pain from the depths of her soul made her unable to suppress her emotions anymore.
Looking at the carefree with red eyes, Leo's eyes became more and more shining, and his good impression of worry-free gradually deepened, and he even had a trace of feelings that he couldn't understand.
"The merfolk tribe is gone!"
Hearing this, Carefree's body staggered, but fortunately Leo quickly held her up.
"For what?" Suppressing the grief in his heart, he asked without worry.
"It's all those greedy humans, in order to obtain the secret of the goddess of life, the strong men of the human race united and attacked the mermaid tribe, and for a time the mermaid tribe was hit hard, and finally after the death of the king, the army was wiped out, and no one was able to escape from there."
Speaking of this, Leo's tone was a little angry, and he held his carefree hand unconsciously.
It hurts to be caught by Leo, but carefree is unconscious, she feels as if something important is missing from her heart, and she attributes it all to the fact that she has the memories of Graniwin, and that she has assimilated herself.
After a long time, the carefree voice sounded again: "Is it all gone?" What does that have to do with this stone? ”
"After the human powerhouse slaughtered the mermaid tribe, he found that the treasure he was pursuing turned out to be a mural that could only glow but could not be moved, and they all left in a huff. Soon after, Jessica, the mermaid queen, returned, cursed the human powerhouses with her life, and locked her soul in the stone wall that had destroyed the merfolk tribe. This stone is what she left back then, and I hope my daughter will see it when she returns."
Pushing away Leo, who was holding him, he staggered to the white stone without worry, stroking the bright red characters on it, and the tears could no longer hold back the burst of the embankment.
Leo was stunned by Carefree's sudden move, knowing that this story is a little sad, but there is no need to cry like this, right? But looking at such an embarrassed carefree, he liked this strange woman even more in his heart.
"You're going to take me to the Merfolk Tribe, right?" Carefree's slightly crying voice sounded.
Looking at such a sad girl, Leo actually regretted telling her this story, he wanted to see her laugh, and he would feel distressed when he saw her cry.
"Yes!"
It was the first time Leo had said such a short word, but Sanssouci saw the sincerity in his eyes, and for some reason, she just believed him.
"Let's go!" Vigorously wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, glanced at the white stone under him carefree, stood up, and said to Leo.
Leo didn't say much, just stood silently beside her and showed her the way.
This time the half-hour was fulfilled, and twenty minutes later, a stone-piled, but extraordinarily spectacular structure appeared in front of the two of them.
Pointing to the magnificent buildings not far away, Leo proudly said to Wuwu: "Look! This is our Naga tribe! ”
Carefree hadn't yet freed himself from the emotions just now, and even when he looked at such an exotic place, he just nodded stunnedly.
Defeated by Carefree's mood, Leo took a few steps in front of Carefree, took her hand and swam towards the gate, while swimming, Leo shouted:
"Subjects, you Yushu is in the wind, and the handsome and dashing Prince Leo is back!"
