Volume 3 The Misty Sea Chapter 69 The Siren
In the 'Sea of Mist', the fog is thick, the waves are not alarmed, and the waves are calm.
On the Flying Osprey, Old John's story was finished, and there was an oppressive silence on the deck.
Old John wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and laughed at himself: "Hehe, this man is old, and he likes to think about the past. You'd better go to sleep, and I'll keep watch over you at night. We're not in the center of the Sea of Mists right now, so we shouldn't be touching a sea siren. ”
"Daddy John, what happened to the Valencian general that day?" Although Senna already knew that Old John was the survivor of that Valencian fleet, he was uncertain about his specific identity, although judging from Old John's account, it was very likely that he himself was the Valencian general.
"He?" said old John, with a look of pain in his eyes, "He was seriously wounded, but he did not die. After being knocked into the sea by the Kraken, the Kraken probably thought he would not survive and did not dive into the sea to check his life and death. He endured the pain and sneaked all the way to the bottom of the sea, and managed to escape from the Kraken's lair. Then he found a broken warship wreckage plank on the sea, and he carried this plank to drift with the waves in the 'Sea of Mist', relying on the fish and shrimp in the sea to survive, and after drifting at sea for more than ten days, he finally drifted out of the 'Sea of Mist', and luckily encountered a fishing boat on the sea, was rescued by the people on the fishing boat, and came to the fishing village where they lived with the people on the fishing boat. Later, he healed his injuries in the fishing village, but his cultivation was completely wasted, and he could no longer cultivate Douqi. At the same time, because he failed to complete his mission and the whole army was destroyed, he was afraid that he would be punished by military justice when he returned to Valencia, so he changed his name and surname, and settled in this fishing village!"
After hearing old John's words, Senna did not ask any further questions, because the meaning of old John's words was already very clear. He is the Valencian general who escaped death!
"I didn't expect such an unattractive old man in Senjin Village to be a famous general!" Senna said with emotion in his heart.
"What kind of creatures are those krakens? They are all so powerful! Daddy John, according to what you said, the strength of those krakens has at least reached the level of high-level warriors or mages, obediently, if you really meet them, you can deal with them one or two, if you meet too much, I am afraid that even the saint-level powerhouses will not be able to deal with it!" Stephanie was attracted by Old John's story, and at this time she was already completely sleepy, and exclaimed in shock.
"Daddy John, those Krakens may not show their true faces, but from some of the descriptions you gave when you fought them, you can still see some clues about the origin of those Krakens...... Senna touched his chin thoughtfully.
Old John nodded slowly, and agreed with Senna's words: "Senna, you are right, in fact, after so many years, I have roughly guessed the true identity of those krakens, but after all, I have not seen their true colors after showing their original forms, so I can't draw a final conclusion!"
"And what exactly are they coming from?" asked Stephanie, her eyes wide.
"It's Cyren!" said Old John and Senna as they looked at each other, almost at the same time.
The Sairen, a very mysterious race of the sea people, they are flying on the sea with a human-faced bird body, with a heavenly singing voice, often singing to charm passing voyagers and cause the ship to hit the reef and sink, and then eat the crew who fall into the sea.
According to ancient legends, the sirens were descendants of Mordila, the daughter of Poseidons, the god of the sea, and Eury, the most beautiful kren of the sea. At that time, the great and majestic lord of the sea, driving a wave chariot drawn by four copper-hoofed golden sea horses, held the golden three-pronged street, swept the waves, and killed the female kraken Eury, who was making waves in the sea. When the golden trident was about to pierce Eury's chest, the female siren's face, crying in despair, suffocated Poseidons, and he withdrew the golden trident that had been pierced.
Instead of taking Euryraine's life, Poseidos imprisoned her. Euryraine's delicate face has also become a lingering nightmare in the heart of the sea god, and the sea god finally irrepressibly falls in love with the beautiful female siren.
Poseidos released Euryraine and hid her in a golden underwater palace, where she lived with her, and a year later, the two gave birth to their daughter, Mordila.
However, the love between God and the devil is destined to end sadly!
Jealous, the goddess Amphitritena, the wife of the god of the sea, went to the golden house of Poseidos and drew her sword to kill Euryrais. The sad sea god hugged the corpse of the female kraken and wept for three whole days. Later, in order to prevent Amphitritena from harming Yuri Erin's daughter, Mordila, Poseidos had to send her away.
As a child, she lived without the love of her parents, and when she grew up, her personality became distorted, selfish, arrogant, willful, and cruel, and she became the notorious female kraken of the sea.
Perhaps because Modila has his own blood in her body after all, or perhaps out of guilt for Mordila's biological mother, Yuri Erin, Poseidos has always tolerated her presence in the face of Modila, who turned the sea upside down.
After thousands of years and countless generations, the descendants of Modila have gradually developed into a mysterious and terrifying race in the sea, that is, the Sirens, who are natural singers with outstanding appearance and elegant posture, but extremely vicious and ruthless.
Although it is said that Sairen has the blood of Poseidons, the god of the sea, he is a descendant of the gods. However, due to their banishment by the sea god, they not only failed to enjoy the honor and glory brought by being the nobles of the Sea Clan, but instead became an unrecognized race among the Sea Clan.
Although they have been abandoned by the sea god, this does not prevent the Sairen clan from claiming to be the descendants of the sea god, they think very highly of themselves, and they don't even look down on the other races in the sea at all, even the sea royal mermaid clan who also inherit the blood of the sea god. This behavior of the Sairen clan has caused them to be isolated among the sea tribes, so they live in isolation and mostly inhabit some remote seas.
The Cyrens are known for their appearance among the Sea Tribe, just as the Elven Race is to the Land Race. But the sirens have an extreme narcissism that elves don't have. They consider themselves to be 'gods', and it would be a disguised insult to themselves to appear in front of the inferior race as 'gods'. Therefore, when the sirens appear in front of outsiders, they often change their appearance, change their appearance, and do not show their true faces. The appearance they choose to change is often dominated by humans, elves, and mermaids, because whether on the continent or in the ocean, the appearance of these three races is more attractive than other races, and it is more in line with the aesthetics of the sirens. The sirens are still quite picky about their changed appearance.
"Sirens, is it the one of the Sea Clan who has a pair of bird wings?" asked Stephanie, who didn't know much about the ocean, a little uncertain.
"Yes, that's them. Senna bowed slightly.
"Why them? Because they had wings on their backs when they fought those Valencian sailors?" asked Stephanie inquiringly.
"It's not all...... Senna explained: "The seduction of the voyager with his singing voice and the appearance of other races are also consistent with the sirens written in many books of the world." ”
"I see!" said Stephanie, a look of abrupt realization.
"Brother Senna, you read so many books, so powerful, you know everything!" The little girl didn't forget to slap Senna in the end.
"I mean, Boss, these sirens are so powerful, we won't actually encounter them in the Sea of Mist, right?" Copperbeard asked worriedly.
"What do you say, you crow's mouth, if you really get the dead dwarf right, believe it or not, I'll throw you into the sea and feed the fish!" said Gangyan slapping the dwarf on the head and scolding.
Before the words of Gangyan fell, on the sea, a song like a heavenly sound suddenly sounded leisurely.
"The sea in the fog,
hazy and beautiful;
I squatted on a reef in the middle of the sea,
Watch the tide rise and fall,
Listen to the sound of the waves like a song;
Sailing ships pass by me,
Splashing waves,
Awaken me from my intoxication with the sea;
I look at the ships of the sea,
Sing to the sailors on deck:
O toiling voyager,
Please stop your busy pace,
Come to me;
We're all together,
Drink mellow wine,
Enjoy delicious seafood,
We put our arms together,
We talked,
We will be the best friends on the sea. ”
The song rippled in the sea breeze and fell into the ears of everyone on the Flying Osprey, and everyone suddenly changed color. Gangyan's eyes widened, his expression froze, and he pursed his lips and said, "Shorty, it seems that I really told you ......!" Suddenly hearing a 'whoosh', Gangyan looked down, but it was the copper whiskers in front of him who ran away, looking like he was afraid of being caught by him and thrown into the sea.
And when Old John heard this song, his reaction was even more intense, his whole body trembled irrepressibly, and he muttered nervously in his mouth: "It's this song, it's been this song, it's been thirteen years, and I still remember its lyrics......"
The fog directly in front of the Flying Osprey suddenly cleared on either side, revealing a slender figure sitting on a reef in the middle of the sea.
Her long hair is shawl, her beautiful eyes are longing, and her whole body exudes a faint smell of ambergris, which is as beautiful and moving as a hibiscus out of water. She doesn't have feet below her waist, but has a huge fishtail. At this time, she was holding her cheek with one hand, looking up at the crescent moon that appeared over the sea after the fog cleared around her, singing while gently patting the sea water with her fishtail. Her expressions and movements, like a girl next door, are full of innocence and cuteness, and she is innocent.
However, for this mermaid girl who suddenly appeared and seemed to be in no danger, everyone on the 'Flying Osprey' did not dare to take it lightly.
Because the mermaids are one of the favorite objects of the sirens who are naturally proficient in illusion.
