All merfolk participate in a coming-of-age ceremony as they grow from their juvenile age to adulthood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The coming-of-age ceremony of the mermaid clan is not just a formal ceremony, it is as simple as that. Rather, all the juveniles have to evolve through this ritual and gain talents, so that they can cope with all the dangers that arise in the ocean when they become adults.

Shen Mengdie looked at all the people present, silently analyzing the pros and cons in her heart.

The king of the merfolk clan slowly came to the front and raised his hand to the people in the audience, and all the merfolk who were talking softly were silent.

When the scene was completely quiet, the mermaid king slowly said the opening remarks of his annual routine.

"Today is the day when my juveniles come to adulthood, and I am here today to ......"

Shen Mengdie listened to the words of the Mermaid King, but her eyes turned to the other group of people standing on the high platform without a trace.

Judging from the clothes and demeanor of those people, they seem to be the elders of the mermaid clan.

"Elder......"

Shen Mengdie narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered in a low voice.

She didn't know much about the inner workings of the merfolk clan, but luckily the mission had nothing to do with it, so she didn't need to go and research it.

After the speech, the mermaid king looked back at the young fish who came to the stage today and was silent for a long time.

Shen Mengdie saw the dark eyes of the mermaid king, and there was also a trace of doubt in her heart.

"Is the Mermaid King looking for something from our young merfolk?"

Just as she lowered her eyes and pondered, the Mermaid King waved to the elders on the side after sighing heavily, and ordered in a deep voice, "Let's start." ”

"Yes."

After a respectful reply, the three elders slowly walked to the front.

"Stand up there, all of you."

The only female elder slowly walked up to the young fish and whispered softly.

"Yes."

All the juveniles replied and began to walk towards the intricately carved platform.

Shen Mengdie followed everyone up while looking back at the female elder.

At the moment just now, she had already learned the information of these big people from the system.

The position of the mermaid king is inhabited by capable people. Therefore, there is no heir, and the king's successor is generally chosen from among the elders.

The number of elders is not necessarily good, but because of the degradation of all people's mermaid magic, there are fewer and fewer people who can be elected as elders. Now, only three elders remain.

The female mermaid they had just spoken to, named Cornelia, was the youngest and only female among the existing elders. The character is very gentle.,It's also very loved by the little mermaid.。

The mermaid elder "Jin" is named because of his golden hair like the sun. The character is also like the scorching sun, which warms people's hearts.

The mermaid elder "Adair" is the most daunting of the three elders. If Elder Gold is the sun, then Adair is probably the ice. With his long ice-blue hair and cold and hard face, all mermaids will subconsciously avoid it.

Another point is that although the upper echelons of this group have a strong magic power because of their magical power, fishtails and hair strands also have a variety of colors, but perhaps for the sake of beauty, they hide the colors.

Cornelia's red hair is an ombre, and so is Adelle's, but Kim maintains a brilliant blonde, perhaps because he has a soft spot for this color.

Among these people, the person who surprised Shen Mengdie the most was the mermaid king's black and long straight.

When she retracted her gaze and slowly walked onto the high platform, she noticed a trace of scrutiny.

"System, who's watching me?"

Although there was no malice in this gaze, the scrutiny in it was too strong for her to ignore it.

After receiving her inquiry, the system naturally answered this question quickly.

'Ding, received a gaze from the Mermaid King......

Shen Mengdie received a systematic answer, and a trace of contemplation flashed in her lowered eyes. She knew that her unusual hair color would definitely receive the gaze of others, but she didn't expect this person to be the mermaid king.

"Close your eyes."

Cornelia's gentle voice rang out, and all the juveniles did so.

Shen Mengdie naturally followed the crowd and slowly closed her eyes.

After instilling magic power into the stone pillars on the high platform, the Mermaid King activated the magic circle.

When the magic circle gradually lit up, the three elders also began to instill magic power.

A burst of light lit up, quickly covering the juveniles on the high platform.

Shen Mengdie only felt a burst of warmth surrounding her from all directions, and an indescribable energy began to flow through her body, and then converged to the fishtail.

At this moment, all the mermaids present silently turned their eyes to the young fish that were transforming on the high platform.

"Click......"

Shen Mengdie felt as if she heard the sound of bones, but she didn't feel any discomfort.

Her black fishtail suddenly changed into slender and white legs after being surrounded by bright light. The costume specially prepared for today's coming-of-age ceremony began to play its part, covering all the legs that appeared in her, leaving only the white and tender feet exposed.

When the mermaid king saw that the fastest young fish to transform was actually the black mermaid who was ignored by everyone, a touch of contemplation flashed in his slightly squinted eyes.

After Shen Mengdie's fish tail turned into legs, other juvenile fish began to transform into legs one after another.

"I have legs too."

One of the transformed merfolk stroked their legs, and then began to slowly begin to practice standing, an ability they had to master on their own. So when they stumbled to practice standing, no one stepped forward to help them up.

Next, more and more merfolk opened their eyes and began to practice standing.

This time, there were originally thirty juveniles in the coming-of-age ceremony together, but now only half of the mermaids have woken up.

The other half of the merfolk, although they conjured their legs first, did not wake up. They were still surrounded by bright light, floating in mid-air, undergoing transformation.

"What is this?"

Shen Mengdie clearly felt that when her fishtail turned into her legs, the warm current turned back to her body from her legs. This feeling was so comfortable that she couldn't help but be a little addicted.

"Wow......"

The mermaid, who was practicing standing, couldn't help but let out an exclamation when she saw the extra color on the hair of her unawakened companion. When she suddenly realized what the occasion was, she quickly covered her mouth.

The unawakened merfolk all have good qualifications, and they are now undergoing transformation, which can also be considered an evolution.

When other colors appeared on the mermaid's body, the originally pure white glare gradually changed to color.

The other mermaids were all two or three colors, but the strong light around Shen Mengdie gradually turned into a rainbow.
