Chapter 459: Mermaid's Tears
Shells, pearls, gemstones, crystals, everything in the crystal village made of jade is so strange, the pieces of jade looming in the grass on the side of the road from time to time, and the exquisite houses all make Zhao Li's heart move.
Art, the characteristics of mermaid civilization, he also knows a little, the pursuit of infinite beauty and the unity of heaven and earth, but they are indeed ahead of the curve in art.
The houses hidden under the shadows of the trees, some like big shells, some like conchs, the length of the circle does seem to contain a great truth, and even the woods along the way seem to be carefully arranged, and every grass and tree is integrated into it.
"This should be for that guy Gao Ming to take a look and see how they arrange it," Zhao Li thought to himself.
"Brother, how is it, isn't our village very beautiful," Ling Bo excitedly took Zhao Li's hand all the way. When she returned to the village she missed the most, and with her favorite big brother by her side, her eyes were smiling like crescents.
"Well, it's very beautiful, no wonder it can give birth to such a beautiful mermaid!" Zhao Li also replied with a smile.
Beauty is also a kind of reason, heaven and earth are very beautiful, the way of heaven and earth is more beautiful, mermaids can combine their own beauty with cultivation, no wonder those prehistoric races can be coaxed.
"Giggles," Hearing Zhao Li's admiration, the little mermaid laughed even more, and her delicate body, which was already wearing less, fell into Zhao Li's arms.
She was happy, but the twenty or so mermaids who followed behind were all staring at the human race in front of her. If it weren't for the patriarch saying that they would bring people back, they might have to do it, you must know that mermaids have always been a very xenophobic race.
Zhao Li didn't feel the gaze behind him, but his expression still didn't change, he had seen more, and his eyes were no longer in his eyes.
After chatting with the Little Mermaid all the way, I came to a large seashell dozens of meters high and dozens of meters long. An ancient and holy breath rushed over him.
"Brother, this is the ancestral land of our village, let's go, the patriarch is waiting for us!" Limbo put away his smile as well.
"Hmm!" Zhao Li nodded calmly, and he did communicate with the ancient tea tree in his heart.
"Elder Ming, you felt that breath just now! It must be their clan's holy weapon! ”
"The beauty of holiness. This should be the mermaid clan's holy artifact Mermaid Tears, legend has it that this holy weapon represents their clan's way, and it is with the protection of this holy weapon that they can survive! The ancient tea tree muttered.
"Holy beauty," Zhao Li glanced at the entire building with a slight meaning before walking in.
"Phew!" After opening a pearl curtain, he entered a large hall, and the hall that had just spoken suddenly quieted down, and dozens of eyes swept towards Zhao Li.
The little mermaid lowered her head in fright the moment she first entered the main hall, and a small hand tightly grasped the corner of Zhao Li's clothes. The more than 20 escorts who followed behind were in two rows at the moment they entered, and the gate was blocked.
Zhao Li also raised his head and swept over from the side with a smile, his eyes meeting a pair of cold eyes from time to time. But Zhao Li's expression never changed, and he calmly swept the entire hall.
There are twelve gold-level masters, and the others are all silver-level, no wonder the mermaid clan has declined.
He grabbed the little mermaid's little hand slightly, and slowly walked forward step by step.
"Bah, bah!"
The dull atmosphere of the entire hall was suddenly ruined by the sound of footsteps.
"Okay, good Terran," the mermaid patriarch sitting at the front didn't say anything.
Originally, she was still a little hostile to this foreigner. No foreign race has ever been able to get the heart of the mermaid clan, but now after seeing this silver-level human race. That little bit of hostility is indeed suddenly gone, some are just appreciation, a silver-level can calmly face so many gold-level masters of his own, how can his own clan not find such a person.
"Terran Confucian Zhao Li has seen the patriarch and the elders!" Zhao Li stopped in the middle of the main hall with a smile and made an ancient salute towards the mermaids in front and on both sides.
"Terran Confucianism? There's no Terran in Inner Earth, so I heard you're from outside? The mermaid in the first position on the right said in a deep voice.
Zhao Li listened to this question, and deliberately looked at the person who asked with a smile, and then smiled: "Yes, I am from the ground, but there are also human races in the inner world." It's just that there are too few people scattered in various places! ”
"Heh, the surface world, that is to say, the inner world has no power of your race, then you dare to come to my mermaid clan alone, although you saved our people, our mermaid clan will not hurt you, but it will be difficult for you to go out in the future!" Another male mermaid said suddenly.
"Understand, it's not easy for the mermaid clan to survive until now!" Zhao Li smiled at the other party and nodded.
"If you understand!" The male mermaid who just spoke heard that his words were approved by the other party, and he couldn't help but smile, but after thinking about it a little, it felt a little wrong, what mermaid clan has not been easy to survive until now, doesn't this mean that his own clan can only hide. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be angry and stretched out my hand and said:
"You, you ......"
The patriarch sitting at the top couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Okay, Eighth Elder, you don't have to say a word." ”
"Humph!" The Eighth Elder gave Zhao Li a final glance fiercely, snorted and sat back in his seat. The other elders all looked at the Terran standing in the middle with their own expressions, as if the words of the Eighth Elder had any effect on him.
"Zhao Li, you are very eloquent, but what the Eighth Elder just said is also true, for the stability of our mermaid clan, we will not let any news leak out, although you saved our clansmen, but at most we will only let you live in Crystal Village!" The patriarch said in a deep voice.
"Huh!" Zhao Li smiled. Shaking his head, he said, "Then I don't know what the patriarch would do if you were me!" ”
This question made the patriarchs and elders of the mermaid clan ponder, yes, what would they do if they were the other party, there were only two things that could be done, one was to send Ling Bo back by himself, and the other was to let Ling Bo come back by himself, not to mention it, but if he really let Ling Bo come back by himself, then his mermaid clan would not be at ease, who knows if the other party is following behind.
Thinking of this, as the patriarch, she was really shocked, she found that Zhao Li personally sent it to the door was really the best aspect of her own race, if Ling Bo came back alone, she might be ready to move the village again now.
"Alas!" Thinking of the result, she could only take a deep look at the Terran who was still smiling. She could feel that the smile was indeed coming from within.
More than a dozen elders also thought of this, and they all looked at the Terrans in the hall with complicated expressions.
"Patriarch, elder, don't deal with your brother, okay?" Xiao Lingbo seemed to feel something, and she actually mustered up the courage to ask for something when she was still scared just now.
More than a dozen eyes fell on the little mermaid's body again, and the majestic gaze made the little mermaid lower her head in fright, but after a while, the little mermaid somehow insisted on raising her head and looking at the patriarch.
"Hehe, little Lingbo, you've grown up!" The patriarch suddenly looked at his own people with a smile on his face.
More than a dozen elders smiled as well.
"Patriarch!" The majestic gaze did not defeat the little mermaid, and the smiling expression did make the little mermaid's head lower again.
"Huh!" Zhao Li was also amused by the little mermaid beside him.
For a while, it was still dull, and the hall became warm. The mermaid patriarch sitting at the top also nodded slightly at this scene.
"Zhao Li, you said that you are from the surface, can you tell us what the performance looks like?" The patriarch asked suddenly.
"Of course," Zhao Li let go of the little mermaid's little hand, glanced at the dozen or so people seated, and then walked up in the main hall.
"This era civilization is the protagonist of our human beings, and we don't know the specific origin of civilization, but we have explored our civilization in this era with a history of tens of thousands of years, and the surface of the earth is no longer like the ancient earth, because it has been cut out of the small world by too many powers and races, and the surface of the earth is only one percent of the ancient period, one-fiftieth of the inner world, and there are still more than six billion people living in such a small place......"
As he spoke, Zhao Li also sank into the history of his own civilization, sometimes walking a few steps in the main hall, and sometimes looking up to think. A piece of the history of human civilization slowly came out of his mouth.
"I thought that our civilization had passed like this, but since the great changes began more than ten years ago, the rise of cultivation, the re-emergence of a hundred schools of thought, Taoism, Buddhism, soldiers, Confucianism...... One by one, they suddenly became realm in the era of the end of the law. Then there was a big outbreak of science and technology, and we Huaxia were the first to fly out of the earth,...... It's a pity that suddenly there was an alien civilization invasion, and we desperately defeated the alien race, and then the ancient prehistoric races that were isolated in the small world began to fall to the surface one by one, and the area of the earth expanded tenfold at once. Then we and the prehistoric race began to compete for the protagonist of civilization...... Finally I ended up in Inner Earth! ”
The entire hall was sunk into the kind of civilization conquest that Zhao Li said, the era of the end of the law, the rise of civilization, alien civilization, prehistoric civilization, and holy weapon wars, all of which were like saying a book from heaven.
That kind of war that would affect hundreds of millions of people at every turn shocked these patriarchs and elders who had been worried about the peace and continuation of their clans. There are only a few hundred people in his own clan, and he can't afford to consume it in a big war.
"Zhao Li, are you saying that your Huaxia clan lost tens of millions of people in the last war, and you went to the Inner World this time to prevent the prehistoric race from bringing out their people?" The mermaid patriarch said stunned.
"Well, civilians alone are tens of millions, and the army has millions of casualties, but these are small things, we have nearly three billion people on the earth, and we will recover these populations in a year, what we are most worried about is that those prehistoric races really take their people out from the inner world, then it will be a big trouble!" Zhao Li nodded.
Hearing this, the patriarch and the dozen elders looked at each other before sighing.
"It turns out that this is a real race war, and hundreds of millions of people will be at every turn, fortunately, your people are not strong, otherwise who will be your opponent in the whole earth." (To be continued.) )
