With a "bang", Lin Yang emerged from the water and was surprised to find that he was actually in an undersea space. It is supposed to be a hollow in the seabed upside down by seawater, and the air in the cave has been around for I don't know how many years, and it has become so filthy that it is basically not suitable for human breathing. Inside this huge underwater cave, the surrounding stone walls are covered with seaweed that emits light blue fluorescent, and the gently rippling water reflects the entire cave, decorating the entire cave with a dreamlike blue world.

The huge stone wall is surrounded by small circular caves carved out of the sea, and mermaids swim in and out of the caves, looking so leisurely and comfortable. In the middle of the large cave, a piece of coral that has surfaced is carved into a throne, on which sits a graceful and luxurious woman, wearing a crown made of blue crystal, wearing a pearl shirt that emits a little blue fluorescence from time to time, and the lower body is soaked in the water, and the tail of the fish covered with light blue fish scales sways slightly with the ripples of the sea.

At this time, the mermaid queen was leaning over to communicate with several mermaids around her who were exposing their upper bodies from the seawater, and when she heard the sound of water, she raised her head and looked at Lin Yang, her beautiful blue eyes were full of love.

Tyri hurried to the Queen's side and whispered something to the Queen. While listening to Tyri's report, the queen looked at Lin Yang from time to time, her expression full of curiosity.

The little mermaid behind Lin Yang slowly opened her eyes at this time, opened her mouth and yawned cutely, and then noticed in a daze that she had returned home. The Little Mermaid glanced at the Mother Queen, who was communicating with Tyri. He dodged his cute little body behind Lin Yang as much as he could, and his arms hugged Lin Yang tighter.

The Mermaid Queen, who had listened to Tyri's report, sat up straight. Stretched out his hand to summon Lin Yang, and said kindly, "Child." Your name is Lin Yang, right? What a strange name. Lin Yang, come here, I have something to ask you. ”

Lin Yang nodded and swam straight to the empress's side. After coming to the empress's side, Lin Yang politely bowed to the empress in the water: "Respected mermaid empress, Lin Yang from the east has seen Your Majesty. ”

The empress stretched out her hand and hugged Lin Yang: "A guest from the east." No need to be polite. Britney's child is so naughty, thank you for taking care of her. ”

The little mermaid behind Lin Yang heard the mother emperor introduce herself to Lin Yang like this, and she was in a hurry and stuck her head out from behind Lin Yang. Loudly protested: "No, Britney won't be naughty." Brother Lin Yang, don't listen to what the mother queen said, Britney is the most well-behaved, isn't it Brother Lin Yang? ”

Hearing Britney's childish defense, the empress and Lin Yang smiled together, and even Tyri, who was beside the empress, showed a rare smile on her face.

Lin Yang turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Britney, signaling that he knew and would definitely not believe what others said about her. Britney saw Lin Yang facing her, and proudly raised her little face. There was a sense of complacency.

The Empress shook her head lovingly at Britney, but the doting feeling in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not be shaken.

"Lin Yang, you are also a mermaid? I've lived almost two thousand years and I've never heard of a male among the merfolk. The empress continued to say to Lin Yang.

The empress lived for more than a thousand years? Lin Yang gasped, judging from her appearance, the Mermaid Empress was about 40 years old at most, but she didn't expect that she was actually a legendary figure who had lived for more than a thousand years. Lin Yang knew that it was best to have something to say when dealing with such a character who had lived for thousands of years. Because no lie can hide her thousand-year-old wisdom.

"Your Majesty, I am not a mermaid." Lin Yang pointed to the fishtail on his lower body as he spoke: "This fishtail comes from a transformation technique, it is not real. I myself am a human being from the East. ”…,

After Lin Yang finished speaking, the fishtail on his lower body began to slowly retract back into his legs, turning into an ordinary pair of flannel pants again.

The empress looked at Lin Yang and laughed: "Young Oriental wizard, what a superb transformation technique. After speaking, he applauded softly: "I'm really sorry, I was rude and let the guests soak in the water." Come and sit the guests. ”

"Yes, Empress." With a sound of agreement, a pretty merfolk pushed out a seat floating above the water from the nearest small cave. I don't know what material this chair is made of, it looks like coral from the outside, but it can float on the water, and the back of the chair is carved with many exquisite patterns that Lin Yang can't understand, which seems to depict some kind of plant.

As the maid pushed the floating chair to Lin Yang's side, the empress stretched out her hand and motioned to Lin Yang: "Lin Yang, please take a seat." I know that humans are not used to being in the sea all the time. ”

Lin Yang was no longer polite, and after thanking him, he was about to jump onto the floating chair, but he was embarrassed to find that if he jumped up, he would inevitably take Britney, who was wrapped behind him, out of the water.

The empress saw Lin Yang's embarrassment, smiled and said to Britney: "Tiantian, don't hug Brother Lin Yang anymore, Brother Lin Yang is not like us, and it will make him feel unaccustomed to soaking in the sea all the time." ”

Britney pouted, reluctantly let go of the arms wrapped around Lin Yang's neck, and muttered something unhappily while swimming to the empress's side, reaching out to grab the empress's arm.

Lin Yang made an apologetic gesture of praise to Britney, jumped on the floating chair and sat down. After Lin Yang jumped on the floating chair, he found that the floating chair did not shake at all, showing the superb craftsmanship of the mermaid family.

After Lin Yang sat down, he hugged his fist to the Empress and said his intention: "Your Majesty, Lin Yang is actually from a different plane of time and space than you, and he came here to find the Fountain of Youth. Legend has it that the tears of mermaids are indispensable for the Fountain of Youth's to work, so Lin Yang wants to ask Her Majesty the Empress to give her a tear from one of your clansmen, hoping that Her Majesty will agree. ”

The empress didn't answer immediately, just stared at Lin Yang fixedly, without the slightest expression on her face.

Lin Yang looked back at the empress and looked at the empress without blinking.

After a while, the empress said faintly: "Lin Yang, do you know what the Fountain of Immortality means to the mermaid?" ”

Lin Yang shook his head and did not answer.

The empress looked up at the top of the cave wall, and seemed to fall into a deep memory, and only after a long time did she tell Lin Yang.

More than a thousand years ago, the Empress was just a little mermaid about Britney's size and full of innocence. At that time, the entire sea was the territory of the mermaid family, and the mermaid was the absolute overlord of the sea. Many mermaids live happily and leisurely in the sea, no one dares to offend the mermaids on the sea, people on land call the mermaids the god of the sea, whenever the New Year comes, the fishermen on the seaside have to offer a lot of tribute to the god of the sea for the smooth fishing in the coming year. Although the mermaids don't care about these offerings, the kind mermaids still bless the fishermen on the beach as much as possible, and sometimes they will not hesitate to spend mana to help the fishermen ward off the huge storms at sea.

Unfortunately, the good days did not last long, and the Kraken clan, who had been taking care of the mermaids, did not know where to get the power of the curse, and the overwhelming Kraken Lux launched an attack on the peace-loving mermaids under the leadership of the Kraken Great Curser. The mermaids who were caught off guard were stunned at first, but by the time the mermaids reacted and mobilized a team of sea warriors to start fighting, the mermaid's population had been killed by almost one-third of the Kraken.

Then, the whole sea is not calm, and there are battlefields of mermaids and krakens everywhere. The sea wizard in the mermaid and the cursed master in the kraken have almost turned the sea into a flesh mill, and the huge waves of mana roar and come and go, many ordinary mermaids have lost their lives in such wars, and the population of the mermaid clan is rapidly decreasing, and the extremely low reproduction rate of mermaids has caused them to gradually begin to fall behind in this war. …,

When the mermaid's palace began to be attacked by the Sirens, the Empress learned of the war, and she was so frightened by the war that she knew to hide behind her mother's throne and shiver. At that time, the Mermaid Empress was a powerful sea witch, and she rode the sea dragon composed of huge waves to fight the king of the Siren on the surface of the sea in a final battle.

During the decisive battle, the most powerful sea witches and cursers on both sides participated. The result was beyond everyone's expectations, all the sea witches of the mermaid clan were killed, and the one who was considered to be the most powerful sea demon emperor was killed on the spot by the mermaid queen at that time.

It's a pity that although the Mermaid Empress at that time tried her best to kill the Kraken Emperor, she herself was almost fatally injured, and she no longer had the strength to resist the remaining Kraken Curse Master. As a result, the sea warriors in the Mermaid Palace at that time faced the powerful Kraken Curser and launched a desperate attack, and at the cost of sacrificing a large number of sea warriors, the Mermaid Empress was rescued.

When the empress returned, she knew that the palace would definitely not be able to be defended, so she ordered the chief sea warrior at the time to protect the current empress, who was still a mermaid princess at the time, and escaped with the holy weapon of the mermaid clan, the holy grail, while the empress herself was ready to stay behind and swear to protect the mermaid palace that had been passed down from generation to generation.

"It was the most unforgettable image of my life, the entire palace was full of blood-colored silk nets launched by the lives of the desperate sea warriors, and between the gaps in the wire mesh, there were sea warriors who exchanged their lives for the lives of the invading kraken. Before each Sea Warrior dies in battle, he reverses the power of the sea, bursting his flesh apart and delivering the final blow to his enemies. At that time, I didn't dare to do anything, but only hugged the Holy Grail tightly, and hid behind the sea warriors with my head down and wept. When the Mermaid Empress said this, her whole body began to tremble slowly, her two hands were clenched into fists tightly, and the back of her hands faintly burst into green tendons.

The Little Mermaid Britney was also obediently hugging the Empress's waist at this time, constantly rubbing the Empress's bare arms with her little face.

Lin Yang was also a little enthusiastic when he heard this, and he wished that he was at the scene at that time, and killed a few krakens ruthlessly to relieve the bad luck of the mermaid clan. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
