Luckily, Ariel only bit off a piece of meat and ate it, and if she wanted to continue eating, the two humans would have to activate the vomit handling device in the helmet.

I have to say that when she ate that piece of meat, the wisps of scarlet that floated from the corners of her mouth were really ...... There is something else in the sense of beauty, such as a literal palpitation.

The attendants came and took the corpse of the old man and the king of fish, and Ariel beckoned the Naga guards to make arrangements for the battle. After explaining, she swam towards the two humans and said with a little curiosity, "You seem to have been surprised just now......

The helmet that had been dangling froze at the same time as she ate the meat, and she saw it from the corner of her eye, and naturally felt it.

Needling was cautious, "Hmm...... It's a little surprising, but since it's your custom, I can't say anything right now. ”

Ariel said in a proud tone that humans could not understand: "Eating a piece of flesh and blood of a loved one and letting a loved one integrate into one's life cycle is the remembrance of a loved one by the High Sea Spirit, and it is a very serious and sacred ritual. ”

"Those low-level sea spirits, such as the fish-men, are still the same as sea beasts. Once a loved one dies, it becomes an existence that is no different from food. It's disgusting that they want to eat all their dead relatives!"

Assus struggled to suppress his shock: "Also, is there such a difference?"

Ariel said, "Aren't we? We merfolk and fishmen are not the same kind, we are very civilized." ”

Cheyenne summons Cassus: "I need to activate the vomit bag......"

Needless to say for a moment, Ariel added, "I don't know much about you humans, but I do know that you're not the same thing as kobolds, lizardmen, goblins, or whatever. Those lower races are as barbaric and backward as the mermaids, and you are still civilized, only a little worse than us merfolks. ”

After all, Cassus was a teenager, and he couldn't help it anymore: "Why are we humans not as civilized as you? ”

Aliel sighed pityingly: "Everyone says that the characteristic of human beings is to have a good face, and it is true. You don't eat your own kind, but you bury your dead people in the soil and let it pollute the air and the soil. The air on the land is mixed with the smell of decay, but you don't care at all, just think about me......"

She rubbed her chest and shook her head, looking like she was about to vomit: "I've endured a lot of hard work on land." ”

Stopping the urge to vomit something, but not vomiting, Cassus asked curiously, "Then what do you do with the corpses of your kind?"

Ariel pointed to the blue light in the corner: "Burning corals with phosphorus fire......"

It was a fire that could burn in the sea, and Cassus thought it was some kind of decorative lamp.

He was still unconvinced: "Your understanding of the land world is very biased, the air on the land is flowing......"

Aliel shook her head, her long green seaweed hair fluttering: "No matter how much it flows, it is limited, and the sea spirit also needs air, and if it pollutes the seawater, it pollutes the air, so if you don't pay attention to the cleanliness of the air, of course, it is backward and barbaric." ”

Cassus was speechless, and although he spoke the lingua franca, he felt like he was talking to someone from another world.

Civilization or something, Ariel only casually mentioned that she was now concerned about the hundreds of thousands of enemies outside.

"I don't know what else you're capable of, but with just the two of you, there's no way to defeat the enemy outside, it's several coalition forces in the Sea Valley. ”

At this time, she had already entered the role of the Lord of the Sea Valley: "Our warriors of the Sea Valley have suffered heavy losses before, and there are not many that can be fought now. My idea is that I take a squad of samurai to your submarine and rush to the enemy leader at your speed, and we will take care of the rest, which should be done, right?"

Cassus didn't speak, it was up to Xia An to decide, and Xia An said vaguely: "Let's talk about it later." ”

Leaving the palace with Ariel and her guards, on the way, Carsus was still haunted by the "Civilized Mouth Cannon Competition" just now, and asked Cheyenne: "Uncle, how do you explain it so that she can admit that it is inferior to our human civilization?"

Cheyenne laughed and said, "Why should she admit it? She has a point, at least in the matter of dealing with the remains, they are better than the human civilization on our land." ”

Cassus was stunned, how could this be more civilized than humans!?

Cheyenne continued: "Civilization or something, it's not something that is separated from existence. Just like justice, for the living beings of a race, the highest justice is the survival and development of the entire race. ”

"Sea spirits also rely on air for survival, but there is very little air in the ocean, and it is not as ubiquitous as it is on land, and it is used as needed. Once the sea water is polluted, the air is also polluted, so Hailing pays great attention to the disposal of remains. This is a major event that affects Hai Ling, and in the face of this matter, it doesn't matter whether you eat the same kind of meat or not. ”

"Since eating the meat of the same kind is to maintain survival, it is only natural that a low-level sea spirit like the fish-man should go one step further and use the remains of the same kind as food. ”

"Mermaids used to eat corpses as food, but later they had the ability to manipulate phosphorus fire, which made it easier and cleaner to dispose of corpses, and it became a ritual to eat a small piece symbolically. ”

At this time, Cheyenne was like a teacher again: "Didn't the teacher talk about morality and ethics when you took a moral and ethics class? Morality and civilization all grow on the basis of survival, and they are the adaptation of intelligent beings to the living environment. ”

Needus was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change in the painting style of the evil god, and stayed for a while before he followed: "Then there is no way for humans and sea spirits to merge, how can such a difference be regarded as the same kind?"

Cheyenne's tone shifted to hating iron and not steel: "Did you listen carefully when you were in class, what is the biggest difference between intelligent beings and other living beings?

"Since the environment will be transformed, civilization will continue to improve. Isn't it because of the phosphorus fire that the mermaid has the ritual of eating only a small piece?"

"If you can transform the environment, why can't you eliminate the difference?"

"The sea spirit eats corpses because he is afraid of polluting the air, if we can let the sea spirit have the same endless air as the land creatures, wouldn't this problem be solved?"

Carsus suddenly brightened, yes, that's the truth!

Since the root cause of all kinds of differences in civilization comes from the limitations of the living environment, such differences can be eliminated by transforming the environment.

This kind of thing cannot be done by the Dawning Empire, the Goddess of Order will not do and does not want to do, and his eternal order requires not only human beings to return to their place, but also intelligent beings of various races outside of human beings to return to their place. Only the Red Union is willing to do and can do it, and only the belief in Datongism supports the transformation of the whole world, the elimination of civilizational differences between human beings and between human beings and other intelligent races, and moving towards a future of integration.

"Wait, there's another question......"

Cassus sighed: "Even if we help Hai Ling transform the environment so that they no longer eat their own kind, in their eyes, we humans are still uncivilized." ”

Xia An said disdainfully: "It's not simple, just communicate more." When you marry the mermaid princess, you are also contributing to the promotion of communication and integration between humans and sea spirits. ”

Carsus completely shut up this time, Ariel is very beautiful, and there is a fish princess who is also very face-saving, but he is only fourteen years old, and his good life has just begun, why should he be bound by marriage?

Besides, if you really want to promote the exchange and integration of intelligent beings of different races, there are other objects to choose from.

At least...... The blue dragon or silver dragon girl is not bad, and there is no cultural barrier between them and humans.

Of course, the dragons can also eat people, so isn't there a mad angel? His Royal Highness Aurora has mentioned to Xiaohong the idea of letting the mad angel go down to earth to interact with humans, and His Majesty Xiaohong is very concerned about this matter.

Cheyenne ruthlessly hit him again: "To put it bluntly, you just dislike other people's wet ......"

Returning to the Observer, Ariel squeezed up with a few high-level naga, as well as two sea spirits who looked like sea serpents. The small submarine with a capacity of four people was suddenly full, but fortunately, the sea snake and the naga could be united, and the smell of seafood in the small space made Cassus and Cheyenne can't help but quietly discuss which is better, stew or barbecue.

The submarine broke through the barrier and rushed out of the trench against the rapids of the maelstrom, much to the shock and confidence of Aliel and her men.

But when she saw the star-like point of light beyond the trench, the whole fish seemed to have lost its spine and went limped on Cassus's back.

It's soft, it's sticky, and it's uncomfortable.

Thoughts flashed through Cassus's mind, and he was shocked by the splendor beyond the trench.

Cheyenne said: "That's a phosphosphor lamp fish, and the sea spirit has to rely on light to fight." ”

Daniel's voice came from the channel: "It has been confirmed, this Sea Spirit Alliance is from five sea valleys, the total number of sea spirits and sea beasts is one hundred and fourteen thousand, there are more than ten legendary sea spirits, and there are six legendary sea beasts, and the other one can't be confirmed whether it is a sea spirit or a sea beast, but it should be the most powerful one." ”

Daniel asked curiously and expectantly: "If we have a hard bar head-on, we are definitely not opponents, mainly because there is not enough ammunition, uncle, how do you say we should fight?"

At this time, Xia An switched to the role of "a confident general", and his tone was unusually calm: "We are not here to fight, but only to persuade and fight." ”

At this time, in the cabin of the Observer, the Naga and the sea snakes were whining and screaming, looking very panicked.

Ariel held on to Carsus's shoulders to stand firmly, and said sadly: "Since the Momeng Sea Valley is here, the Sea Serpent King they worship must also come, and we are finished." ”

Cheyenne did a lot of homework before he came, and explained to Cassus: "Although the Sea Serpent King is not as powerful as Leviet, he is also the existence of the peak of the legend, and he is a sea spirit and not a sea beast. When Empress Aurora attacked Valentine, it was he who helped Empress Aurora block the bay and attack Valentine Cathedral with sea water on behalf of the Storm Ocean Sea Spirit. ”

Cassus gasped and wanted to ask what to do, but Cheyenne said on the channel: "Since it's a persuasion, Daniel, you should know how to do it." Don't worry about exposing the details, now that the situation has changed, we don't need to cover it up. ”

Daniel responded excitedly, and Cheyenne said again: "As for the Sea Serpent King, leave it to me to solve it." I don't know him, the one who knows, I think he's going to sell this face. ”

After speaking, Xia An was covered by a layer of purple light, and then turned into countless floating dark gold octagonal light blocks, which dissipated one by one.

Ariel asked, "That...... Cheyenne, what are you doing?"

"He ...... I went to say hello to my old friend. ”

Ariel scoffed, "Old friend, how old is he? no more than two years older than you! I think he's finding an excuse to run away!"

Ignoring the topic with a smile, Cassus said to Ariel, "I'll make sure again, we've helped you solve this big problem in front of you, and you will give up the position of Lord of the Valley, including your crown and scepter." We, the Red Federation, are here to help you solve the problem of how to survive, and your internal affairs are decided by all the sea spirits in the Sea Valley. ”

"It's a big breath, humans are like this......"

Ariel said in the tone of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, "I swore that I would never break my word." But we have to deal with them first, and you should think about how to get us to the five lords of the valley on your own. ”

"You don't need to ......"

Needling to explain in detail, Cassus turned to the internal channel and urged Daniel: "What are you going to do, do it now!

Daniel smiled heartily: "Didn't Uncle say it? We are here to persuade fights, not to beat people...... No, fisherman, you see!"

Remembering what Cheyenne had just said, Cassus asked, "It sounds like there is a special skill in persuasion, what are you going to do?"

Daniel's tone was even more heroic: "How can you persuade a fight to be more effective? ”

He clicked over there, as if he had pressed a button: "For example, if a group of thugs are swinging knives and preparing to slash each other, then fire their guns...... Warning. ”

In the distance, the countless points of light were flickering and flickering, getting closer and closer.

Above the trench, the light is magnificent, with purple light as the edge, inlaid with golden light, outlining the outline of a giant beast sixty or seventy meters long. The rounded body only has a small bulge above the front, and has neither fins nor tails.

A purple light shot out from the front of the artificial sea beast, projecting it onto a ridge a few kilometers away, and a moment later, the ridge shook violently, creating a circle of ripples, mixed with indescribable terrifying power, and shattered sea mud and rocks, spreading rapidly in all directions.

The shock wave stretched out into the hundreds of thousands of sea spirit armies in the distance, and the light emitted by the phosphosphor lamp fish flickered violently like the starry sky reflected in a waterhole, and then extinguished one by one.

The Observer was also jolting violently, and the impact from the barrier to the bulkhead turned into a roar like the arrival of the sea god, causing Ariel to lose her spine again and her men to re-knot.

"W-What's that!?"

Ariel screamed in horror, and she could sense it very well that the mountain that had been shot by the pillar of light had turned into rubble. This power is not weaker than Leviit at all, and it is very similar to the power she felt in Liviit when Liviit was attacked before.

"That's our backup ......"

The mermaid princess held her tail and slapped it on the floor, staring at her blue eyes with an unusually calm gaze.

"As I said, we are here for the freedom and happiness of the sea spirit. ”

Ariel looked at Cassus in horror, and at this moment, this shy teenager was as terrible as the devil in her eyes.

Now she finally understands who killed Leviet.
