The mermaid is a witness to the history of Yuara.

At the end of the First Age, the Leviathans and the Earth Giants fought against each other, destroying the continent and turning the entire world into a primordial soup of chaos again, from which the merfolk were born.

From the moment the first mermaid surfaced and looked out at the sea dyed green by the glowing moonlight, the great wheel of world history turned again.

The vicissitudes of life and the passage of time have brought new landmasses to the surface, forming many dotted islands.

Then, a lot of new life was born.

Some of them became extinct because they were not accustomed to the changes in the ecological environment, while others continued to evolve, adapt to this new world, and grow with the world.

One day, the merfolk suddenly discovered that a new civilization of intelligent beings had appeared on those lands.

"Human"

That's what they call the founders of that new civilization.

Because as the darlings of the world, mermaids have supernatural abilities, and it is precisely because of this that they have stood at the top of the food chain for countless years, living carefree.

It is precisely because of this situation that they rashly came into contact with that new civilization and wanted to convey their goodwill.

In fact, it was smooth at first.

Although the Age of Discovery has just begun, humans are unexpectedly able to accept new things and knowledge, and some merfolk have even found that humans are like the surface of the sea, frantically and quickly absorbing new knowledge from them.

The honeymoon phase is always short-lived.

It didn't take long for humans to learn the secret of the mermaid - since the primeval dawn, there had never been a case of a mermaid dying naturally.

Other words. Every merfolk has the ability to live forever.

For humans who live less than 100 years old, the temptation of immortality is very great, and soon rumors about mermaids become rampant.

Starting with the harmless "mermaid's tears can increase lifespan", it became the more excessive "you can gain hundreds of years of life by taking the blood of mermaids", and finally became the most vicious rumor - "eating the liver of a mermaid alive can lead to eternal life".

In less than a hundred years, the originally prosperous mermaid clan was greatly reduced, until the leader of the mermaids, Posenia, who has the reputation of "mermaid Ji" and "Caixia in the sea" among the mermaids, continued to investigate, and finally discovered the human mermaid fishing and slaughtering organization, and the truth was revealed.

Angry merfolk dance in the ocean, causing a monstrous flood. to punish humanity.

But at the last moment when humanity is about to be completely destroyed. Posenia intervened to stop the floods, leaving the merfolk to retreat into the depths of the sea, never to meet humans again.

And she herself decided to bear the sins of those who survived and disappeared in order to atone for their sins...... Another hundred years passed. When the shadow of the bone-marrow-piercing flood finally dissipated in the hearts of men. The qiē about mermaids has also become an ancient legend.

"The mermaid must be a zài!"

The Skoura Island Chain. On the edge of the island, a young man wearing only a pair of pants said stubbornly.

"Nonsense, your father and I are also old fishermen. I've been floating on the sea for most of my life, and what haven't I ever seen? The merfolk are just the same legends as the sea monster Leviathan! ”

The middle-aged man, who had a face similar to that of a young man, but whose complexion was darker and whose body looked fatter, poked at the young man's head with hatred and said: "Neos, you are not too young, stop thinking about those messy things, and inherit your father's fisherman skills that are the number one in the Skula Island chain, aren't you good?" ”

"But they saved me! When I dived into the water that day to study the monuments, my feet became tangled in seaweed and I almost died in the sea, but they saved me! ”

The young man said indignantly.

"What, you're going to study that damn monument from me again?! Do you know how dangerous the bottom of the sea is? Even a poisonous fish or sea snake hiding under a reef a few meters deep can kill you! ”

But the middle-aged man apparently noticed the other message from the young man's mouth: "How many times have I said that you are not allowed to do this kind of thing?" You go back to my room and reflect on it! ”

The young man, who knew that he was speechless, bowed his head and slid back to their small house built by the sea, and walked into his room without saying a word.

It's just that after entering the room, the look of chagrin on his face disappeared completely, and instead showed a sly smile.

Plugging in the latch, he lifted his bed and pulled the floor off, revealing a small puddle beneath it.

This small puddle leads straight to the sea, and after a few minutes of deflating, it can rise from the surface of the sea not far from the Skula island chain.

Facing the sun outside the window, he pinched the time, and felt that it was still early for lunch, so he jumped into the puddle of water with confidence, and swam with ease in the waterway that he had already mastered, and entered the vast sea.

There are many ancient ruins on the ocean floor off the island of Skoula, which are said to have sunk to the bottom of the water because of the legendary flood. Neos didn't know much credibility for this claim, but as someone who grew up in the Skula chain, he was interested in these monuments, and would sneak underwater to observe them from a young age.

Over the years, he has found that these monuments have more or less information related to 'mermaids'.

Originally, he also thought that these things were just the delusions of the ancients—just like many things in the ancient Celestial Empire had dragon patterns or dragon carvings on them, but not many people had actually seen dragons.

Until a few days ago, because of his carelessness, he was entangled in his ankle by the aquatic weeds, and he couldn't break free, and the whole person was confused, and when he almost died at the bottom of the water, a mermaid suddenly appeared, helped him untie the aquatic weeds, and sent him to the surface.

It's a pity that the other party left after that.

When he returned to the island, no matter who he talked to about it, they didn't believe it, and they all agreed that it was a hallucination that he had blurred his consciousness......

After taking a dip in the sea and expressing most of the depression in his heart, Neos felt a lot better.

He stepped out of the sea, spat out the sea, looked at the boundless sea, and muttered softly, "If only we could see each other again." ”

I don't know if his prayer took effect, but when Neos was afraid that his father would find out and wanted to go back, he found the mermaid girl stranded on the beach of a small island on the edge of no one...... (To be continued......)
