"This voice is... Kraken, how is that possible!? ”

The moment the song sounded, Grace's body suddenly straightened, and she looked at the slow-turning record in amazement, and the snow-white and flawless lotus arms appeared with dense blue-blue scales, and she could not control the magic that maintained her human form under the song, which was a throbbing from soul to body, a surrender to some existential instinct.

Grace's body fell limply to the ground, her cheeks against the carpet and gasping for air, waiting for the singing to stop and barely lifting up her body to turn off the gramophone, and the pair of straight and slender jade legs turned into blue-blue slender fishtails.

"This song is not something that ordinary sirens can sing... Ancient sirens. Grace murmured, her instinct in her bloodline letting her know who the singer was.

Why is there an ancient siren in this world, and why does this ancient siren live in the human world?

The question goes beyond the point of bewilderment, giving Grace a sense of absurdity that subverts cognition.

The existence of the Siren civilization named by the ancient spellcasters fell apart during the god era, the Siren civilization is a civilization built on faith, all social activities are inseparable from the temple, and the social system revolves around priests and beliefs. When the Kraken civilization collapsed, it was divided into two parts, one of which still faithfully pursued the steps of the god of the deep sea, and degenerated into a beast that had lost its rational thinking, and took the name of the Kraken.

The other part, only a very small number of people know, that is, to continue the name of the siren, abandon the faith, to find the intellectual race, as the price of abandoning the faith, the siren lost their strong physique, lost the authority to dominate the sea, and reduced to an extremely mediocre race except for singing, and the siren is also the origin of the mermaid legend in this world.

The ancient sirens were not the kind of monsters of the Sirens and were not as fragile as the Sirens, the Sirens were monsters born with the deterioration of faith, the ancient Sirens usually had a strong physique, far beyond the wisdom and power of ordinary people to dominate the sea, and were known as the children of the sea, and were one of the best races in the world.

Grace's heart twisted into a ball, confused by this sudden encounter.

······

As night falls, Norton shows its bustling corner, the streets are still bustling with traffic, street lamps illuminate every corner of the city, and people can be heard laughing and talking everywhere.

Grace rode in a carriage to a dinner hosted by the Count of Henrietta, one of the directors of the Universal Exposition held by the Kingdom of Barron, and this banquet invited the heads of the Chamber of Commerce who had come to the Exposition to discuss the Exposition after the dinner. Grace's Nolan Chamber of Commerce is only a representative of the Chamber of Commerce of a remote island country, and she is far from being on the stage, and the core meeting after the dinner is basically nothing for her.

Soon the carriage came to a quiet forest path, and although there were no people, the lights were still bright on both sides, and some carriages could be seen in the same direction.

The carriage was parked outside the Rose Manor, and there were carriages all around, no less than a hundred of them, and I am afraid that the carriage could not even be found where it was parked.

Grace got out of the carriage with the hem of her evening gown, and said to her butler, "You will be in charge of the carriage tonight, and no private entourage will be allowed at the banquet." ”

The middle-aged housekeeper bowed slightly: "I understand, please be more careful, have you remembered the types of food to avoid?" ”

"I know, red leaf fruit, rose, and blue fish are one of the staple foods of the Barron Kingdom." Grace nodded impatiently, the siren had lost his special physique, and could only use magic to maintain his human form, and eating special food could cause magic to fail.

The Kraken is notorious in the human world, and ordinary humans don't even know what a siren is, revealing their true identity will inevitably cause riots.

"Very well, here's your invitation." The butler respectfully handed over a red invitation.

After handing the invitation to the guards, Grace went in for the dinner, the smell of the large number of humans and the perfumes used by them made her feel very uncomfortable, and some of them smelled like rotting animals, no, not like, Grace was sure that the smell should be some kind of whale feces.

Grace doesn't know what to say, is it already popular in the human world to use feces as perfume?

Grace attracted the attention of many male guests as soon as she appeared, and her perfectly proportioned delicate body became more and more feminine and seductive against the backdrop of the evening dress, and her appearance was beautiful and charming. Grace smiled slightly, and calmly talked to these men, looking for someone to work with, but most of them had never even heard of the name of Nolan, or the geographical location was too far away from Nolan Island to find the possibility of cooperation.

"Miss Nolan, may I have the pleasure of inviting you to dance later?"

"Miss Nolan, I'll consider cooperating with the Nolan Chamber of Commerce, why don't we find a hotel to talk about after the dinner?" Our Frank Chamber of Commerce is one of the most famous chambers in the kingdom, and it must have been a wonderful deal. ”

"Beautiful lady, you are the embodiment of the god of beauty, and I feel sincerely ashamed..."

Frivolous invitations, vulgar voiceovers, disgusting compliments, all of which made the bored Grace's pretty face more and more frosty, and her eyes saw the other side of the dinner, and almost exactly the same thing happened over there, but it all revolved around a young man, that human male behaved calmly and talked to the members of the Chamber of Commerce around him, many of them were the heads of the big chambers of commerce that Grace could name, and some of the ladies with light makeup stood on the periphery and stared at him, and the eyes were like the wolves who saw sheep, I want to swallow the man in my stomach.

Grace's eyes froze, William Cromwell, now the second-in-command of the newly rising Chamber of Commerce in the Barron Kingdom, is not at the same level as the nameless Chamber of Commerce like Nolan, and the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce is very interested in magic and monopolizes the production of magic materials in the Barron Kingdom, so the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce is one of the targets of Grace's trip.

At the beginning of the banquet, William, who Grace had noticed, was naturally invited to the inner hall of the banquet, and Grace, who could not find a chance to talk, was anxious and helpless.

She had no choice but to stay where she was, unable to dismiss the aristocratic merchants she was talking to.

······

Harvey cast his flying magic and landed in the woods outside the manor, and after dismantling the magic, he walked out to the main road to arrange his suit and get used to looking at the surroundings, all kinds of carriages were parked on both sides of the manor road, some belonged to the Norton nobles, some had completely different decorations and family crests, and should have been transported from foreign countries. Keen hearing can hear the hustle and bustle of the manor in the distance, which means that the Rose Manor is holding a lively dinner.

"William should be there, and he should discuss the promotion of Pokhara's Technique." Harvey thought as he walked, and suddenly frowned and looked at an ordinary carriage, the carriage was very ordinary, it was a rented carriage that could be seen everywhere on the streets of Norton, but the man in the suit and leather shoes sitting in the carriage made Harvey a little puzzled, and his keen sixth sense told Harvey that the man was not human.

After a few awkward syllables, a blue light appeared in the corner of Harvey's eyes, which was especially noticeable at night.

In the face of Harvey's gaze, Grace's butler was also sweating profusely, the suit suddenly swelled, and the fish-like body broke through the suit pants.

"Who is this man? At least it's also a title class spellcaster, is there such a strong person in this country, not only that, but what else is there in his body, is it really a human being? ”

The middle-aged butler secretly complained, he was one of the most powerful sirens on Nolan Island, and he also had experience in traveling the human world, and this time he was ordered to come out to protect Grace, and his strength should not be underestimated. But when he saw Harvey for the first time, he didn't even have the heart to resist, he knew very well that it was not a gap in strength, but a more fundamental identity gap.

He couldn't figure out where that overwhelming sense of oppression came from, just being watched by Harvey gave him an urge to tremble in the manifestation of his body, and the coercion that turned into substance was constantly roaring at him, demanding that he surrender.

"Kraken?" Harvey asked tentatively.

The middle-aged butler nodded vigorously.

Harvey walked over, looked at the middle-aged butler whose face was covered with scales, and accosted curiously: "I thought that only your queen had such wisdom, did she let you come to me?" Why did you come to find Norton? ”

The Siren Queen?

The middle-aged butler trembled physically and mentally, even the sirens wanted to see the kraken, the kraken inhabited the deep-sea islands, surrounded by deep-sea monsters, and the human in front of him actually had something to do with the kraken queen.

The middle-aged housekeeper couldn't resist the natural pressure no matter what, and when the mental vigilance was broken, the soul and body were relaxed for a while, but in exchange for a sense of stability that was dominated.

He bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Master, we are not Krakens. ”

"You're a Siren, uh, I really haven't seen a male Siren." Harvey didn't care much about his title, Harvey still had the necklace sent by the Bleak Abyss, and theoretically he couldn't even dominate the Siren Queen.

"Yes, master, only the sirens will be male."

Harvey was stunned: "Siren, you said you are a mermaid?" ”

"Yes."

"Hmm~ That's it, then what are you doing if you didn't come to me?"

"We are here from Nolan Island, following the orders of the Patriarch to seek cooperation with the Human Chamber of Commerce." The middle-aged butler replied honestly, even he felt incredible, why would he have a sense of surrender to a human being.

Harvey touched his chin and smiled, "It's good that I'm not here to hunt humans or something." ”

Because of the knowledge of the earth, the acceptance of the existence of mermaids is still relatively high.

After Harvey left, the middle-aged butler stayed in place for a long time, and suddenly there was a thrill, and after waking up, he looked in horror at the direction where Harvey left.

······

Harvey walked to the gate of the manor and saw the guard in a black suit go over and greet him, "Gist, how was the dinner?" ”

Not only is Harvey visiting Rose Manor for the first time, but he still knows the names of some of the staff at Rose Manor.

The guard, who was called by Harvey's name, straightened up and replied solemnly: "Sir, it officially started half an hour ago, do you need me to inform the Earl for you?" ”

"Then I shouldn't be late, don't bother, I'll look for him when I need to."

The guards wanted to reopen the gate of the manor for Harvey, and Harvey waved his hand and said, "I'll enter through the side door." ”

"Yes."

It wasn't until Harvey left that the other guards were curious enough to talk to Gist: "I say, who is that young man?" Is it a family member of Lord Earl? ”

Gist looked around left and right, and whispered mysteriously, "Do you know The Count of Monte Cristo?" ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the background of Harvey who entered the manor, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, he's so young!" Damn, you should have just reminded me that if I could say hi to him, it would be my bragging rights this year. ”

Gist looked serious: "At least you have said hello to me, I have greeted Mr. Adrian, you can brag about my name to others." ”

"Get out!"

The corners of Harvey's eyes were still glowing with a faint shallow light, and he looked around the banquet and found the target directly, a beautiful woman surrounded by many men, even if she didn't use spells to probe, the naked eye could directly detect the abnormality, the beauty that existed in women was much more transcendent than that of human women, and it was easy to discern this too pure beauty if she had been in contact with aliens.

When Harvey saw her, Grace also suddenly felt a faint aura that made her tremble, this aura was a little similar to the song of the Siren she heard last night, and when she met Harvey's gaze, her body suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground softly, attracting exclamations and care from the male companions around her.

"It's not appropriate to have the same reaction as the male mermaid just now, and leave it alone." Harvey smiled dumbly, thought about it and walked straight over, bent down and smiled, "Need help?" Lady. ”

"Damn, who are you? Ms. Grace is my girlfriend! ”

"What do you mean by your female companion, Miss Grace just agreed to dance with me!" The two young nobles were furious when they saw Harvey stretching out his hand to Grace, Grace was their target, how could they accept it now that someone else was interfering?

"I'm sorry."

Harvey smiled politely at them, glanced at Grace, saw that her skin was faintly glowing with a strange luster, and couldn't help but hug her delicate body and smiled politely: "I am Miss Grace's doctor, she has asthma, I want to take her to a less crowded place to rest." ”

If Grace were to transform into a mermaid here, it would inevitably cause a riot.

Harvey's lies are full of mistakes, and Harvey just now called Grace a lady.

Grace was held in Harvey's arms, her face flushed even more, and she reluctantly nodded in agreement with Harvey's statement.

Princess Harvey took this Grace away, and the crowd automatically dispersed into a passage, and the two young nobles looked indignant and wanted to follow, but found that the direction in which Harvey left was blocked by a group of people, and looked at him with strange eyes.

"What are you doing? Didn't you just talk to Miss Grace like we did? ”

"Get out of the way, let me take care of Miss Grace."

The young nobleman shouted a few times, and someone patted them on the shoulder and admonished, "Don't go, we are for your good, don't you recognize the identity of the man just now?" ”

The young male aristocrat rolled his eyes: "I need to know him?" It's not a big deal in the outer hall, damn it, I'm going to tell my father about it. ”

"That's Her Majesty's Counsellor." A reminder from the well-wisher.

Harvey didn't go to newspapers or other newspapers, and the only place he could count as a standout was probably the opening ceremony of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and all the nobles who attended the opening ceremony were basically impressed by Harvey's appearance.

"Her Majesty's Counsellor? Then I'm still a prince..." The young nobleman who was still shouting had a stiff face, and when he saw that none of the people around him could laugh, he laughed awkwardly: "Really? ”

The crowd tacitly agreed to move out of the way, and the person who had reminded the young nobleman at the beginning smiled and said, "Go, since you are the prince, I have no right to stop you." ”

"Uh... Haha, I'm so sorry, I'm joking, just kidding. The young nobleman waved his hand again and again, laughed, and after a while the two of them left in a gloomy manner, for fear that they would be remembered by others. Even if Harvey hadn't pursued the incident, the fact that he had yelled at Harvey and claimed to be the prince was enough to send them to the hell of the social world and take a toll on the family's reputation.

Harvey took the mermaid to a secluded place, Harvey still has a little affection for the Kraken or the mermaid, as long as the other party has good intentions, Harvey doesn't mind helping them, the appearance of Grace who was held by Princess Harvey has undergone earth-shaking changes, part of the delicate body is covered with beautiful blue-blue scales, the white jade legs are transformed into slender fish tails, and the blue eyes are calm and ethereal, not like humans.

Harvey cast a spell to shield the two of them, lowering Grace down the steps to take a look at the mermaid, who looked about the same as when Lily hadn't turned into a human, and had blue hair.

Harvey remembered the appearance of the kraken hunting, and couldn't help but make up for the predatory appearance of the mermaid beauty in front of him when the head was cracked, and suddenly felt a chill.

"Who are you?"

Looked at by Harvey with subtle disgust, Grace wanted to question Harvey's identity, and let out a respectful and meek voice that startled even herself, she had never spoken with such emphasis, including her father.
