It's a pity that Peter is not Li Jing, the chief soldier of Chentangguan, so he can't ask Li Ang with a smile: "Did you give birth?" Great, did my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? ”

Peter just stood there stupidly, not saying a word, his eyes blank, as if all that was left in his brain was the huge egg with countless pink fish eggs.

Not... In his consternation, there was no joy and excitement of becoming a father for the first time, only physical and psychological disgust and fear.

However, the black mermaid did not notice this,

She placed the transparent egg on her waist and abdomen, and stroked it gently, stroking away the seaweed-scented mucus sticking to it, like an ordinary mother coaxing her child to sleep.

The scene was still silent, except for the faint chirping of insects and birds outside the window, and the sound of the stream flowing.

“...”

The consul glanced at the innocent man coldly, took a deep breath, and said indifferently: "I will not allow the bloodline of the Taylor family to exist in this world in this way..."

"Wait, Your Excellency Archon, I suggest you don't overdo it."

Leon spoke, interrupting the archon's words.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, Li Ang, who was sitting on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, lazily clasped his hands together, pointed to each other, and said casually: "My personal opinion is to ask this mermaid princess carefully to see if there is any missing information." ”

The archon's brows furrowed, and the dark owl's eyes stared at Leon, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Ang spread his hands, "Please don't doubt me, I'm not a spy sent by your political enemies to gather evidence and wait for an opportunity to frame you.

The comments I have just made are just a kind reminder from me, as a monk.

I don't want to see tragedy happen, and careful questioning can help reduce the probability of misfortune. ”

The original Little Mermaid fairy tale is an out-and-out tragic story.

In order to see the prince again, the mermaid asked the witch for a potion that could turn the fish's tail into feet, and after drinking the potion, the mermaid went ashore and found the prince, but because of the side effects of the potion, she could not speak.

I can only watch as the prince mistakenly thinks that another girl saved him because of a misunderstanding, and is ready to marry that girl.

Heartbroken, the mermaid gets on the boat back to the ocean, where she hears the words of her sisters, saying that they have exchanged their hair for a sword from the witch, and that only by killing the prince with the sword can she be prevented from becoming a bubble and dying.

At the end of the story, naturally, the mermaid couldn't start, and finally became a colorful bubble.

At first glance, this is a simple and poignant love story, and there are lovers who cannot become dependents in the end, but if you think about it carefully, there are still some places that are very suspicious.

For example, why is there a strange setting that just kills the prince with a sword and smears his blood on his feet can restore the mermaid, why can the witch come up with both a potion with great side effects and a sword with a bizarre effect, and whether the mermaid kingdom will wage a large-scale war against the humans on earth after the mermaid dies.

There are not many words in the original fairy tale, and these settings can only be made up by the player's own brain.

Combined with the description of this black mermaid, the mermaid country under the sea may have a considerable scale, if it can be used well... There are many benefits for players to guide the script.

John Joyce and the others also understood Leon's plan, and the sixth magic mirror fragment was in the offshore waters of the Rune Kingdom.

"Ahem."

Leon coughed lightly twice, looked at the black mermaid and asked casually, "These fish eggs probably have... Two hundred and seventy? ”

The mermaid corrected, "Two hundred and seventy-three." ”

"When will it mature? What about the survival rate? ”

"Four months later. They will emerge from the egg, but still inside the eggshell, and they will remain in a tadpole-like form that is half human embryo and half fish, living in the eggshell for two weeks, eating the oocysts, and then the eggshells. Then they will be able to live in the ocean and be protected by their tribes. We merfolk have their own civilization, not wild and rude beasts, and can maintain a survival rate of more than 99%. ”

Leon nodded, "The gender of the mermaids is female, right?" ”

"At the eggshell eating stage, they become women. At that time, they were only the length of a finger, and it took as long as humans to grow. After 16 years, they will have a one-meter-long fishtail, at which point they can leave their tribe's quarters and go out hunting under their mother's instruction. ”

"Hmm...," Leon tapped on the armrest of his chair, "Sixteen years, with a ninety-nine percent survival rate, didn't your population, or fish mouth, explode?" ”

"Are you saying that too many people in the community lead to a lack of survival resources, leading to the collapse of civilization?"

The merfolk shook their heads, "For us merfolk, courtship is an instinct, but reproduction is an obligation and responsibility. Only the best individuals are allowed to lay eggs, and some mermaids who do not meet the standards will voluntarily give up the right to have children and undergo surgery. Or when laying eggs, they actively destroy them. ”

"Wait!"

The consul's wife couldn't take it anymore, and she put her arms around her son's trembling arm,

Sharp eyes as sharp as knives, moving back and forth between Leon and the mermaid, "What are you doing here?" Biological research? We are talking about the future bloodline of the Taylor family. ”

Leon glanced at the lady and did not speak, but the consul coughed lightly and called out his wife's name, "Lisa, let them continue." ”

"What?"

The consul's wife stared at her husband in disbelief, "Shouldn't you order the arrest of this... This mermaid, and this nonsense-ridden Oriental monk? ”

Li Ang chuckled and sighed, and said casually: "If this mermaid comes from a primitive tribe that is barbaric and unintelligent, and the individual is sparse, then it is indeed possible to arrest and secretly execute him.

After all, the traditional entertainment of the nobles in the past was to hunt the gnolls in the wild.

However, honorable lady of the archon, beware, according to the mermaid's description, they were able to master a language fluently in a few months, and they also possessed incredible magical talents,

The way the population reproduces is curious, but extremely efficient.

Just imagine, if each of them could maintain the caster's ability and efficient reproduction rate, it would be almost an entire army of spellcasters with all the people in the army.

Once the merfolk civilization becomes hostile to humans, the kingdom of Rune will face a formidably formidable enemy.

And the Taylor family, who caused this crisis, will live forever as sinners in the Kingdom of Rune and even mankind. ”

Li Ang's description made the face of the consul's wife turn pale instantly,

There may be fools who can climb to this position, but there will be idiots who can't weigh the pros and cons.

Li Ang admired the bleak expression of the consul's wife, and said with a smile: "That is to say, from that moment just now, this is no longer a family ethics dispute, but an extraterrestrial civilization diplomacy that must be carefully handled and resolved." ”
