Chapter 194: Mermaid Mermaid
"We ended up being kicked out." Roger, who had been undisguised, lay on his back on the deck and said very lazily.
The sea dragon's attack left him with far more serious injuries than he had imagined. Although serious injuries such as severed limbs were recovered under the power of Xuanwu when he changed back into human form, the cold that remained in Roger's body alone was enough for him, and now Roger would suddenly shiver a few times from time to time.
"I can't say that, at least after you showed that terrible strength, those mermaid nobles finally pinched their noses and agreed to the compensation plan proposed by Her Majesty, didn't they?" Sakurahime, who was sitting next to Roger, was very satisfied with the harvest this time, which was much better than she expected.
After all, Roger is not from the mermaid clan at all, and Sakurahime, a member of the royal family of the so-called White Sea Clan, is even more of a black household, and many details actually can't stand scrutiny.
After Roger defeated General Yaris and his elite merfolk warriors in public, his deeds of defeating a sea dragon also spread in the city of Mirien. On the one hand, the mermaid nobles were very jealous of Roger's strength, and on the other hand, due to Sakurahime's royal status of the White Sea Clan, in a compromise, the mermaid nobles finally agreed to the "compensation" plan of Her Majesty the Queen of the Blue Scale Clan.
On the surface, this compensation was actually used to comfort the royal members of the White Sea Clan, Sakurahime, who were "frightened" and "offended". And the person who offended Sakurahime, the mermaid astrologer, Sabi, was even directly thrown back into the astrology platform and locked up.
And in fact, this so-called "compensation". In fact, it was just a small amount of compensation used by the blue-scaled mermaid aristocrats who tempted Roger and Sakurahime to gag Roger and Sakurahime's mouths.
Originally, these radical blue-scaled mermaid nobles actually just wanted to scare Sakurahime and show the strength of the blue-scaled clan in front of the heirs of the White Sea Clan. As a result, not only was he beaten upside down in the matter of Sabi. General Yaris, who went to clean up the situation, was directly knocked down.
Now it's a big deal.
Facing Roger, who directly put this matter on the line, under the double pressure of conservatives and the queen of blue scales. The radical mermaid nobles who knew that they were at a loss had to obey the arrangement of the blue-scaled mermaid queen, and gave Roger and Sakurahime a batch of supplies and a blue-scaled dragon whale out of their own pockets, and then respectfully sent the two of them away.
I believe that they will definitely not want to see Roger and Sakurahime again, this time they are embarrassed.
"However, these weapons and equipment are of no use to us at all." Roger glanced at the pile of weapons and armor piled up in the corner, and said helplessly.
Those weapons and armor were provided for the average merfolk warrior, and they were enough to equip a hundred merfolk warriors. However, in Roger's opinion, these things were all rough and broken copper. It doesn't work at all.
"Although there are a lot of iron ores in the sea, there is a lack of craftsmen who can forge these weapons and armor, and these equipment are already high-quality products that only the mermaid Praetorian Guards can have." Sakurahime said with a wry smile, "Most of the Sea Clan's battles rely on these crude weapons and equipment, even against the Abyss Demon Clan. It's of little use to us, but it can be rebuilt, and it's all made of the finest black iron. ”
"Is that so?" Roger raised his eyebrows and said lazily, "Say." Why was that mermaid queen of the Bluescale Clan so kind to you? ”
This mermaid queen of the Bluescale Clan, Roger had only met once when the mermaid nobles entrusted the Bluescale Dragon Whale. The difference between the Blue Scale Clan and the White Sea Clan is the skin color, compared to Sakurahime's fair skin, the Mermaid Queen of the Blue Scale Clan is indeed very beautiful. But that blue skin really made Roger feel insensitive.
And the blue-scaled mermaid queen is really a little too enthusiastic about Sakurahime, who has only met a few times.
"Perhaps, I should call this mermaid queen her great-grandmother." Sakurahime said a little faintly.
"Ahem. Ahem, ahem! Roger was literally choked on his own saliva, "Wait a minute. True or fake? Is the mermaid queen of the Bluescale Clan that old? I can't see it at all! ”
"It should be true." Sakurahime hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees. He said very indifferently: "Although I haven't been to the White Sea Clan, I heard my mother say that my grandfather is indeed from the Blue Scale Clan." And I can feel the blood connection in the body of the Blue Scale Queen. ”
"And does the Queen of Blue Scales know who you are?" Roger was curious about this.
"How is that possible?" Sakurahime smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The Blue Scale Clan and the White Sea Clan are both big clans, and there are so many members of the royal family, my maternal great-grandmother may have regarded me as the illegitimate daughter of some unresponsible member of the royal family." The old people love the juniors more, so on her territory, take care of me a little. ”
"It turns out that the royal family of the mermaid clan is also chaotic?" Roger held his chin and said, "So, the ruins of the merfolk clan with the core of the alchemy city that we are going to now should be real?" ”
In fact, Roger and Sakurahime are now on their way to the ruins of the mermaid city.
"I'm not sure if it's true, but there should be a ninety percent chance that the ruins are true." Sakurahime sighed silently, "It is said that the small city of the Red Fin Clan fell because of the attack of a sea dragon. ”
As she spoke, Sakurahime took out a roll of sea beast skins from her bosom and handed it directly to Roger: "This is what my great-grandmother secretly stuffed for me, and it is a map of the vicinity of the former Syren City." ”
Roger directly spread out the sea beast skin, looked at this very detailed map, and his face was full of confusion: "Since this thing can be drawn, then the Blue Scale Clan should have carefully explored the vicinity, how could it not have recovered the alchemy city core?" ”
Sakura Ji frowned and thought about it, and then said slowly: "Great-grandmother said that the Blue Scale Clan has sent a total of more than ten expeditions. The first few expeditions were directly wiped out by the sea dragons entrenched there. Later, the sea dragon left, but the sea monster that occupied there afterwards was still not something that the Blue Scale Clan could easily deal with. To be exact. Taking such a big risk for the sake of a mere alchemy city core is too much for the Blue Scale Clan to gain more than it loses. So later, this ruin was gradually forgotten by the Blue Scale Clan. ”
"Now that ruin is within the territorial waters of the Blue Scale Clan. Therefore, the mermaids of other clans are either unaware of the existence of this ruin, or they dare not provoke the Blue Scale Clan, so this ruin will remain until now. Saying this, Sakurahime turned her head to look at Roger, "As long as the sea monster entrenched there now is not a sea dragon, with your strength, you should be able to easily get the core of the alchemy city, right?" ”
"Ah, even if it's a sea dragon nesting there, let's split up. It shouldn't be difficult to get that alchemy city core. Roger nodded, and slowly summoned the water elemental orb.
The water elemental ball, which was supposed to be dull and dull, was indeed still radiant at the moment, and there was a faint blue phantom in the center. However, the blue phantom was blurry, and it was impossible to see the specific appearance at all.
To be honest, I really didn't expect that the density of water elements in the underwater city was even higher than that of the water elemental convergence point, and the water elemental ball was actually restored so quickly.
Holding the water elemental orb, Roger was full of confidence. Although the body is not fully recovered. But in the case of being able to transform into Xuanwu, it is still very simple to deal with a few sea monsters.
And looking at the water element ball in Roger's hand, Sakurahime's eyes also flashed with a strange color. Once again, a closer look at this mysterious treasure, Sakurahime was sure. This treasure does contain the power of the mother goddess, just like her water god mirror.
"Woohoo......"
The blue-scaled dragon whale under the seat suddenly let out a warning sound, and Roger and Sakurahime were startled. Sakurahime hurriedly communicated with the blue-scaled dragon whale. Roger, on the other hand, stood up and began to look around.
"There's a group of fishmen approaching?" Quickly finished communicating with the blue-scaled dragon whale. Sakurahime's face was full of depression.
"Well, those fish-people are on that side." Roger's face was also full of helplessness. "It would be nice if I had taken those alchemic mermaid warriors at that time."
"That's a waste." Sakurahime shook her head. "None of us are the heroes of the Sea Clan, we can't control those alchemy mermaid warriors at all, we can only use them as a one-time class, the gains outweigh the losses, it's better not to get better."
Roger raised his eyebrows, and said with a pretended relaxation: "In this case, these fish people will be handed over to you, it shouldn't be difficult for you to send them away, right?" ”
"It's just a bunch of fish heads." Sakurahime sneered, then took out the Water God Mirror and pointed the mirror at the fish-man warriors in the sea.
In the light of the Water God Mirror, the side of the fish-man warrior suddenly set off a huge wave, directly sending the fish-people into the sea, and the sea suddenly turned bloody.
"This is the sixth batch, why can't these fishmen learn well." Roger shook his head helplessly.
From the time they left Mirien City to the present, the two of them would encounter a group of fishmen hunting from time to time. And these fishmen don't know whether they are hungry and dizzy or brainless, but each batch of them took the initiative to attack the blue-scaled dragon whale, and then was slaughtered by Roger or Sakurahime.
It is said that the mermaids and merfolk actually share a common ancestor. It's just that the ancestors of the fish people dreamed of stepping on land, so they evolved into half-fish, half-man; The merfolk intended to live in the sea all the time, so they evolved into half-human, half-fish.
Whether the legend is true or not, Roger does not know. Only now, the mermaid and the merfolk are completely rivals. The merfolk disparagingly refer to the mermaid as the tail of the fish, while the merfolk refer to the mermaid as the head of the fish.
In Roger's opinion, no matter how you look at it, the merfolk are far more successful than the mermaids. At the very least, the mermaids are far more intelligent than the fishmen, so the mermaids will not be like these fishmen, knowing that they are not opponents, but they are stupid to attack the dragon whale. (To be continued.) )
PS: As I was writing this chapter, I was reminded of the topic that was so much circulated on the Internet about being on a desert island and choosing between a merfolk and a fish-man. There are many people who say that they want to choose a fish head, but! It is said that mermaids can turn fish tails into legs! Even if you can't, looking at a human face is better than looking at a fish's head, right? Anyway, I can't accept the fish-man or something.
