18. Come to land

Coming to the underwater palace, the sirens maintained an expression of amazement all the way. Compared to here, my home is a hostel, and the mermaids live in a slum!

Seeing the North Sea Coral, a symbol in the palace, the sirens must have jumped in shock if they had feet, "Oh my God! What is this, so beautiful! ”

Hermes had been smiling beside her without saying a word, and the siren looked like a human girl of twelve or thirteen years old, with such a rich expression for such a small person.

Seeing the Sea Emperor himself, the sirens were not so surprised. She just opened her eyes slightly and stared intently at the person in front of her.

Long silver hair fluctuated with the current, draping from Poseidon's back. The young and powerful body was exposed to the sea, I thought that the Sea Emperor would be an old man, but I didn't expect it to be so young and so handsome. A pair of thin lips opened lightly, "Hermes, why are you back again?" ”

The siren couldn't help but step back, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Hermes glanced at the siren, then pushed her forward, "Oh, unravel her magic." ”

The siren's heart pounded, and when Poseidon put his hand on the siren's head, her heart stopped beating again. Carefully maintaining this position, not daring to move, Hermes bent down and said with a smile: "Siren, don't be too nervous, if you die of nervousness, it will be my sin." ”

As soon as these words came out, the siren was indeed not nervous, she only wanted to kill this messenger of the gods.

Poseidon didn't pay attention to the quarrel between them, withdrew his hand, and said lightly: "Okay." ”

Hermes raised his eyebrows: "That's good?" I didn't even say she had any magic in her. ”

Poseidon smiled at the siren, and then said, "That's it, there are two magic spells on her, and I have solved them all." ”

The siren was originally immersed in Poseidon's smile, and was stunned when he heard this, "There is only one, how can there be two?" ”

Poseidon turned around and thought for a moment, "It's really two, although I don't know what they do." ”

The siren wanted to ask again, but Hermes pulled her and wanted to leave, "Whatever, it's all untied anyway." Walk, walk, walk, the time has come to witness that you are a goddess. ”

Poseidon was going to go back, but when he heard this, he was also curious, he walked up to the siren, looked at the mermaid who was obviously still very young, and also looked disbelieving, "She's a goddess?" ”

The sirens blackened again, and Hermes nodded, "She said she was, and you don't believe it, do you?" ”

Poseidon looked at the siren, but said to Hermes, "How to prove it?" ”

Hermes laughed: "To land, together?" ”

Being carried to land by two gods, the sirens indicate that it is not as good as they imagined. They thought they were too slow, so they took her on a swim. As it turned out, the sirens were really slow.

It would have taken ten minutes to ascend from the bottom of the sea to the surface, but now it is a minute.

The sirens, however, braked sharply as they came out of the sea, and were reluctant to move. Hermes pulled her, she covered her head and shouted: "Don't, don't! It hurts to bump into it! ”

Seeing this, the sea vibrated under his urging, and the siren automatically came to his side, looking at the overwhelmed siren, Poseidon smiled, put his hands around her waist, and with a light move with the force of the water, the siren emerged from the water.

Half of his body is still in the water, and the rest of his body is bathed in sunlight. There was no water, the siren touched the empty air, her eyes widened in shock, the sun was overhead, she saw the picture of the mermaid telling her, green peaks and islands, winged birds chirping and flying, the air was not the smell of water, but the freshness of plants.

The siren squatted back into the water, Poseidon looked at her in surprise, she jumped out of the sea again, spun around in the air like a dolphin, and the splash hit Poseidon and Hermes in the face, and they looked at the siren helplessly.

"It's really air! So this is the air! The air is so fragrant, do you smell Hermes? And that mountain, so beautiful, I'm finally out! ”

Watching the sirens shouting excitedly and smirking at everything new, Hermes and Poseidon couldn't help but laugh too. What was once ordinary is a treasure in the eyes of the sirens.

Finally, when she gradually calmed down, she took the siren who had been smirking to the nearest city, and the moment she walked on the beach, the siren's fishtail turned into a pair of white and slender legs like her mother, Hermes was startled for a moment, the siren was only wearing a mermaid's outfit, and he was wearing nothing underneath, he immediately stepped forward and hugged the siren, and then let go, the siren was wearing a favorite robe of a city woman.

Looking at his new clothes, the siren said happily, "Thank you." ”

The siren didn't have the idea that men and women were different, and she didn't know that she couldn't let people see her slick body lightly. The two gods pretended to be calm on their faces, but they blushed in their hearts.

But they weren't going to get mad at the siren, because she was so small.

Holding Hermes with his left hand and Poseidon with his right, the sirens could not walk, but could only move forward crookedly, fearing that she would fall.

It doesn't matter if the sirens are goddesses or not, they all like the sirens very much, and they like this simple little girl.

At the end of the day, the sirens still couldn't prove that they were goddesses, because she couldn't do magic, let alone spread their wings, and Poseidon sent her back to Scamander's territory and gave her a conch.

"If you want to come to me, throw it in a corner, and you'll be able to come over."

The excited siren slept with a conch in his arms that night, and although the muse thought it was strange, he was not suspicious.

After that, she would go to Poseidon's palace almost every day, where the oracles and krakens had already known the little mermaid, watched Poseidon go to work, listened to the chatter of the fairies, and occasionally Hermes would come over, and now that she remembered it, it was her happiest day.

Carefree, happy and joyful, now occasionally at night, she still dreams of laughing and playing in the vast sea, and then wakes up, only the tears that have not dried are with her.

The siren grew up day by day, and she also learned a lot of things that she didn't know before, and the experience on land made her more and more mature, but in the eyes of Poseidon and Hermes, the siren was still the child who didn't grow up.

Strange to say, the siren is more than a thousand years old, but her body doesn't seem to grow at all, and if you ask herself, the siren can't tell why.

After being together for a long time, the sirens also found that Poseidon was not as holy as he was in his first impression, such as the iron-beaten sea emperor and the lover of flowing water.

The sirens couldn't remember how many lovers Poseidon had, and always changed another one just as she was about to remember.

The siren secretly asked Hermes, "Isn't his wife angry?" If you wanted me, you would have come here to make a fuss. ”

Hermes didn't answer, because he didn't know how to answer, Amphitlete is an extremely elegant and dignified woman, but because she is too dignified, the so-called extreme must be the opposite, Hermes always feels that Amphitlit is different from what appears to be.

His wife was always in the depths of the palace, and the sirens had only secretly seen her twice, and she was beautiful, and as Hermes said, very elegant, but the sirens just didn't like her.

I don't know what day it began, Poseidon suddenly fell in love with a city and was bound to occupy it, only to find that Athena had the same purpose. The two gods did not let anyone, and a war began.

When he saw the famous trident, the siren was stunned, and then he felt that it was nothing, it was just a war, and the war would not stop until the world did not perish.

But she didn't expect that after 30 years of World War I, Poseidon devoted almost all his energy to the confrontation with Athena, and even the underwater palace gradually lost its laughter, and the years of war made everyone physically and mentally tired, but there was no way, once for that beautiful city, and now for the dignity of the Sea Emperor.

When she returned home with a heavy heart, she found that everyone was looking at her tremblingly. Although it was strange in her heart, she didn't care too much, and the mermaid stopped talking to her, and finally left in a hurry with her head down.

Walking into the front hall, she found out the reason for everyone's abnormality.

The muse looked at her with cold eyes, and the table next to her was full of the gadgets she had brought back from the land over the years, which had been well hidden, but was discovered by her mother today.

The siren lowered her head in fear, she had been cautious, but she didn't expect to be found by her mother, how to explain that she could already go to land?

The muse took a deep breath and suppressed her nerves that were on the verge of exploding, she walked to the siren's side and looked at her daughter, who was still very young, "Siren, my daughter, I know you don't like to be bound, but everything I do is for you, can you listen to your mother and stop dealing with Hermes and Poseidon?" These gifts are just useless things, and I can give you better ones. ”

Siren looked up in astonishment, and the muse thought that she was surprised that she knew about her relationship with the two gods, and said, "I have known for a long time that you often go to play with them, and it is good to have friends, so I have always pretended not to know, but from now on, you can't go to them anymore." ”

The Muse thought that they had given these things to the sirens, and did not know that her daughter had been to land countless times, and the sirens, who were still rejoicing, frowned when they heard this and asked, "Are you saying that I will not be allowed to go to the sea in the future?" ”

"You're not allowed to go out, it's too dangerous outside, Siren, only home can protect you."

The siren looked at his mother incomprehensibly and laughed twice. Muse looked at the siren, not knowing what she was laughing at.

The siren pursed her lips for a moment before she said, "Do you know where I've been living?" ”

Without waiting for the Muse to answer, she said to herself, "It's a prison." You always keep me locked up in this small place, I can't go anywhere I want, I will do whatever you tell me to do, I haven't even learned magic until now, as soon as someone has a good relationship with me, you will send that person away or kill it, the Sea Emperor and the messenger of the gods are too powerful, you can't kill them, so draw me another square and imprison me? ”

The muse frowned, but did not deny it, "I am for your good." ”

The siren couldn't help but shout: "But I can't see what's good!" I only see your ubiquitous control, I am your daughter, not your slave! ”

The muse's face turned pale, and the sirens didn't understand her good intentions, but she couldn't explain why she did this, so she could only order the attendants, "Lock up the sirens!" She's never allowed to go out! ”

The siren stared at her mother, and seeing that the attendants were about to seize her, she quickly turned and swam out.

"What are you still doing! Bring her back to me! ”

The muse had no tail and could not be as fast as a mermaid in the water, but she forgot that her daughter was faster than all the mermaids, and soon the attendants who chased her out could not find her.
