Chapter 369: Child

"Your husband?"

Leon leaned on his sickle and asked with interest, "You mean Peter Taylor?" Does he know that he is your husband? ”

"Your Excellency Monk,"

A young spellcaster hired by the Archon said with a nonchalant expression, "This ugly and filthy creature is full of evil and sickness, and it also has a strange and powerful stealth ability, I suggest that it be destroyed now..."

Leon didn't care about the caster's rude interjection, but glanced at him with deep meaning.

Like Peter, the caster uses "it" to describe the mermaid and calls it "ugly and dirty", not at all like ordinary people who use the words of a PC in their words.

It seems that the spellcasters of the fairy tale world, and the archons, who are in the upper echelons of society, can slightly weaken the brainwashing influence from the Ice Queen...

Leon glanced at the spellcaster, neither agreeing nor opposing the plan to kill the merfolk directly,

What are you kidding, the Little Mermaid is one of the most famous stories in "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", the mermaid in front of me who has changed to a low-profile beggar is a bankrupt version of the mermaid, no matter how you say it, she is also a princess in the fairy tale world.

Li Ang is the kind of goose that plucks his feathers and blanches and boils the iron rooster, even if it is a stone, it can squeeze out the last trace of value, how can it be directly eliminated when he encounters a magical creature and a princess.

"I have my own judgment on what to do with him."

Leon smiled at the spellcaster and turned to look at the merfolk, "To answer my question, does Peter Taylor know that he is your husband?" ”

"Of course I do."

The black mermaid leaning on the cotton mat on the wall did not have any panic and fear, she stretched out her webbed palm, smeared the seaweed mucus on the wound, and said unhurriedly: "We are a very loving couple, a husband and wife made in heaven, and we have exchanged the blood of our hearts with each other.

This is a very serious ritual for us merfolk, and not even the gods can separate us two now. ”

"Blood of the heart? You cut Peter's chest open and healed his wounds with the slime from your hands? No wonder according to the previous doctor's physical examination records, he had an undetectable surgical wound on his chest. ”

Li Ang grinned, "But you said that you are a loving couple, and this came out of the mouth of a stalker, and there is no sense of formality." ”

"I'm not a stalker."

The black mermaid frowned, and the two eyeballs with a huge distance between the eyes rolled their eyes in unison, "This is the definition of you humans."

For us mermaids, courtship is originally an instinct derived from biological nature, and if we like that man, we will follow him and pursue him, without caring about the eyes of others, and without being restricted by the so-called etiquette.

In the words of your Queen, this is a much purer and more natural way of life, and there should be absolutely no discrimination. ”

Leon raised his eyebrows in some surprise, the black mermaid was more "smart" than he thought, and was even able to cite the Ice Queen's PC propaganda to justify his actions.

If she were in court now, maybe the fairy tale world jury would have acquitted her because of her words.

"And, compared to my countrymen, I am temperate, restrained, and shy."

In a hoarse but clear voice, the black mermaid said calmly and indifferently: "From the first time I saw Peter in the ocean, I decided to make him my husband.

I watched him in the middle of the sea leaning against the mast and looking out at the sea.

During the day, I turned into water and watched him eat, walk, dance,

At night, I took the form of a fish, crouched outside the window of his cabin, and gently patted the cabin with my fingers and tail fin to lull him to sleep.

Sometimes I would turn into vapor and burrow into the window, slipping into his lungs as he breathed, feeling his warm and tender love for me..."

As she spoke, the mermaid's strange face gradually appeared with a "soft" expression, but several people present only felt a shock and chills.

It's disgusting, boasting disgustingβ€”it's disgusting.

There was no other expression on Leon's face, after all, the mermaid was another creature, and its physiological, psychological, social, and cultural aspects were very different from human beings.

What seems to humans is pathological, but in the eyes of mermaids, it may just be normal courtship.

Leon asked casually, "According to past sightings of merfolk, it seems that you have killed sailors, is this also part of courtship?" ”

"Most of the time."

The black mermaid said calmly: "The mermaid is a peaceful race, we live in the depths of the ocean, we have no quarrel with the world, and we have no interest in human culture.

It's just that all of us are women, and in order to reproduce, we need to use our singing to charm the sailors of the past - most of them will be eaten directly afterwards, because the process of our mermaids needs to consume a lot of energy.

It's like a praying mantis on land.

In addition to courtship, mermaids sometimes attack sailors in retaliation, as fishing boats often overfish and kill dolphins and whales that are friendly to us.

Sometimes it's hunger – merfolk feed themselves fish, and when food sources are scarce, they turn to passing ships. They are like cans full of food, which is easy to get started.

But unlike my countrymen, I would never hurt my lover..."

"Won't hurt?"

The spellcaster, who was employed by the archon, sneered, "Doesn't that sudden shipwreck have anything to do with you?" ”

"It was a simple accident."

The mermaid said with a blank face, "No one can accurately predict the weather at sea, not even us mermaids.

Besides, it was I who rescued Peter from the great waves and brought him safely to the island.

Even I endured the pain of my heart being broken to pieces, guided your search and rescue boats, and found him. Because I believe that only by returning to his hometown can he avoid a mental breakdown. ”

β€œ...”

The spellcaster was a little speechless for a while, and didn't know what to say, so it took a long time to raise his momentum and ask again: "What about now?" You sent him back, but you still pestered him, do you have to torture him to death completely, are you happy? ”

"I know."

The mermaid's face showed a pained and helpless expression, "I have made up my mind to let him go, but I really can't bear to miss and love him.

I have abandoned my people, and crept along the currents to the land, lurking in the dirty rivers of the city, and only at night do I dare to turn into vapour, and gaze at my beloved,

The father of my child. ”

"Wait!"

The young caster's eyes widened suddenly, "What did you say?!" The father of the child?! ”

"That's right."

The black mermaid had a foolish smile on her face, and I saw her stretch out her thin palm and slowly stroke her lower abdomen.
