Chapter Twenty-Three: The World of the Fish-Men

【Wanghai Expedition Mermaid Palace】

The bottom of the sea, not all deep and dark places, many places, there are incomparably beautiful scenery, coral reefs are connected to the bottom of the sea to form coral groups, although the sun can not penetrate such a deep sea, the fish people have the "sea mang" will shine like the sun on the entire underwater world, this is the country of the fish people, known as the most hierarchical country.

At a depth of more than 5,700 meters, the prosperity here is unimaginable in the society on earth, and those fish people who breathe with their gills rely on their wisdom to build magnificent palaces, magnificent city walls, and beautiful streets, which are all great masterpieces of fish people.

This magical country, called Bosan, means sacred palace.

In the hierarchical society of the Fishmen, the lowest Fishmen are the beings that the expedition encounters in the waters of Lulan, they are responsible for the most difficult and dangerous work, they have no concept of life and self from birth to maturity, they only know work and death, if they can't work, they will face death.

It seems that this is very cruel to life, but there are countless lives in nature like these lowly fish people, the meaning of life is to work, and death is the cessation of work.

At the top of the hierarchy are the commoners, they are free fish-people, they can move freely in the sea, without any hindrance, they will not harm them as fish or fish-people of the same kind, they have no evil thoughts, they are as good as angels. In the history of Noah, there is a record of the fish people: good nature, free and uninhibited.

As a commoner, the fish-people are just ordinary existence, they have not been able to get rid of their existence as fish, however, those nobles, those nobles among the fish-people have the same magic as humans, they can transform into human form, they will not swim around in the sea, they will only move in specific fish-man cities, they can transform their tail fins into feet, breathe with their lungs like humans, and they have intelligence no less than humans, these people make up the upper echelons of fish-man society.

The race at the top of the pyramid of the fish-man society is the mermaid race, they have the appearance of humans, have a beautiful and abnormal tail fin, have innate intelligence and enviable magic, just like the elves, they are born with something similar to the source of magic, in the mermaid race, it is called the "eye of the sea".

The Mermaid Palace, as the place where the mermaid clan, that is, the royal family of the mermaids, is a miraculous existence that integrates the treasures of the entire ocean, with pearl walls, flat shell roofs, rock-paved floor tiles in the depths of the ocean, and even some genuine treasures that can only be found in the abyss, and tens of thousands of years of corals have collections.

In the mermaid palace, there are a lot of things from the land, so there is a huge bubble here, this bubble has been strengthened by the magic of the mermaid clan, and has become as indestructible as steel, in this bubble, the mermaids use their lungs to breathe the pure oxygen made by land plants, and enjoy the flowers that bloom all year round.

"Emperor Palatine, are you still satisfied with this flower?" In the mermaid's back garden, in a huge bubble, a noble mermaid who looks like a merchant is showing a land plant to a bearded royal mermaid - it is a snow lotus blooming in the western snow field, and at the bottom of this snow lotus is a magic cover that maintains low temperatures, and the royal family nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, the plants on the land are really beautiful, and I really envy those land races who can live in such a colorful world." The royal family said, and the noble merchant smiled:

"Emperor, what else do you need to envy? You have the highest right under the sea, everything in this sea, what is not within your reach? And why envy the world on the road? When the emperor heard this, he smiled with great interest and put the snow lotus in the flower garden beside him.

"Viscount Ramos, do you think that we can receive the supreme light of the sun in the sea?" Hearing the emperor's question, the viscount shook his head: "Emperor, we are at the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than five thousand meters, how can there be any sun?" ”

"Yes, Viscount, do you think that we can see here the rotation of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the divine snow that is praised by Noah's poets among the men?" The emperor asked, and the viscount shook his head again: "Emperor, our bubble is at room temperature, where is there any fourth-level replacement, as for snowflakes, don't think about it, you can't see it, you can't see it."

"Viscount, you are so right, let me ask you again, Viscount, can we find the treasures of the land and taste the delicacies of the world?" As if the viscount had suddenly had an epiphany, his finned hand slapped violently.

"Your Majesty, I know, I know, we don't, we don't have what you said, but one day we will have it, we will always have it, we will be able to feel the supreme light of the sun, we can experience different feelings in the changing seasons, we can also hunt for treasures on land, taste food, we will always be! Long live the Bo Sang Empire, long live His Majesty Paladin. ”

Hearing the viscount's flattery, the emperor smiled with satisfaction, and he ordered his subordinates to bring a huge shell over, which contained three thousand black pearls, which are hard currency among mermaids, more important than human gold, and the mermaids can exchange it for it, or take it, black pearls, one can make you physically strong.

Seeing that the emperor was like this, the viscount hurriedly thanked him, and retreated with the black pearl of this big shell in his hand. The Emperor looked at his back and smiled with satisfaction.

"Father, you're buying something from Ramos's flamboyant guy again." A crisp female voice came to the Emperor's ears, and the Emperor looked back to see that it was his daughter, a beautiful mermaid with blue hair, like the waves of the sea, and a gorgeous shell coat that made a tinkling sound.

This is really a beauty, in the words of the Orientals, that is, the country and the city, and her eyes that look through the autumn water seem to have magical power, so that anyone believes that any kind of creature will definitely be fascinated by her as long as they look at her, and will definitely want to give her his soul for free.

"Oh, my sweetheart, siren, you're accusing me again, is there anything wrong with my longing for the earthly world? My dear, stop talking about the dangers of the earth, sweetheart, you should change your prejudices, don't always learn from your mother, she's a complete old-fashioned, do you know the word old-fashioned? It's a new word from the earth. Hearing the emperor's words, the Siren princess suddenly became angry, and she shouted angrily:

"I don't know what the old school is, I just know, Father, you are too much, you are too longing for the world on earth, don't you think that because of your love for the world on earth, our existence has begun to be exposed, you see, one day, one day our country will perish because you are too close to the world on earth!"

"My siren sweetheart, how can you say such a rebellious thing? Poseidon is above, forgive her for her rudeness, I think you should be too tired, siren, you go and rest, this time I forgive you for your mistakes, you are still too young, and it is natural to make mistakes. The Emperor's words made the Siren Princess angry, and she left the back garden in a rage.

"Really, this child is too much like her mother, and she is so disgusted with the earthly world, oh, the god of the sea, you have to bless her, she is my only child." After the emperor finished speaking, he walked to the flower garden, only to find that the magic at the bottom of the snow lotus had dissipated, because the temperature was too high, and the snow lotus had withered.

"Alas, the bottom of the sea really can't accommodate beautiful things, and life on the ground, if we can live in peace, I really hope to enjoy that beautiful thing with you." The Emperor muttered, and the figure disappeared into the huge nursery.

In the mermaid palace, the sirens swam to his mother's dormitory in tears, since the father and the queen mother had a disagreement over the relationship on the ground, the two of them have not seen each other, and the sirens, under the influence of their mother, are very disgusted with the world on the earth, and after repeatedly persuading the emperor to fail, they end up in tears every time.

"Queen Mother!" The siren rushed into the queen mother's bedroom, and a heartbroken call made the mermaid queen open her arms, and the siren hugged her mother tightly, tears kept flowing: "I still haven't persuaded my father." ”

"Silly boy, haven't you seen that the queen mother has given up, your father is too stubborn, even more stubborn than the rock, he can't be impressed at all, forget it, let him go." Hearing the queen's words, the siren was taken aback, she jerked away from the queen, stared at the queen with dead eyes, and asked in an uncertain tone:

"You...... Is it really my mother? The siren asked, "No, the queen mother won't say such things to me, no." ”

"Silly boy, let me tell you, I asked the high priest to calculate your fate today, your true son is an earthly human, and ......" Hearing the earthly human, the siren violently interrupted the queen:

"Nope! I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you're not my queen mother, and my queen won't talk like that! The siren shouted like crazy.

"Child, listen to me, fate cannot be changed, and only he can change your fate, otherwise you will face the disaster of death!" The queen said very seriously, but the Siren princess completely ignored it, and she shouted like crazy:

"I don't believe it, I'd rather die, Queen Mother, I'd rather die, I don't touch those filthy human beings, I don't!" The siren shouted and rushed out. Quickly returned to his dormitory, hugging the pillow and crying.

The voice was so haggard, as if it were raining and the wind was blowing sadly.
