157: Drifting to the bottom of the sea
"Thank you. Lanes bent down and bowed deeply to Roshi, once again thanking her.
Everything is a reference point, just like a boy from the Academy of Engineering who went out and saw a sow was very smart.
Accustomed to seeing a mermaid who opens his teeth and claws, doesn't speak, and pokes people when he comes up, this very cultivated and polite Lanis suddenly made Rosie feel a little good.
His voice was much softer, and after returning the salute, he then declared his intention: "Hello, the Great Elder of the Mermaid Clan, my name is Roland, as you can see, I am a wizard, and wizards always need some strange materials in their cultivation, and I have encountered a problem now, only the mermaid tears of the mermaid clan can solve it." ”
Speaking of this, Roshi paused for a moment, and then continued: "Of course, I am not blindly taking, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, I can pay the full price in exchange for the tears of the goddess. ”
Lanis's cheeks brightened a slight smile, and she shook her head and said, "Wizard, you are so polite, we in the merfolk do not pay attention to equivalent exchanges, as long as we regard them as friends, we will do our best to help." ”
Luo Xi glanced at her in surprise, and unconsciously glanced at Nicole, the mermaid group that she knew from Nicole's mouth was even rationed with food, and she would really be so generous to herself?
Perhaps seeing Roshi's gaze, Lanise's expression became a little embarrassed, and she coughed lightly twice: "Ahem! Ahem! Every ethnic group has its historical mission, and we merfolk are no exception. ”
Giving an understatement to her clan, Lanis then raised an eyebrow and said, "You came at the right time, our clan is currently holding a sea god sacrifice celebration, if the wizard doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay and visit?"
Luo Xi wanted to refuse, this is because he thinks that this mermaid is too easy to talk, will there be some trap waiting for him in front of him?
But before he could speak, Lanis added, "Only friends will be invited by the merfolk, and when the celebration is over, we will leave the sea pearls you need." ”
Now that the words have been said for this part, Roshi is not good to refuse anymore, and thinks about it seriously, well, anyway, I run fast, if something really happens, just experiment with the power of the new spell, and then take Nicole away, and no one can necessarily keep himself.
With this in mind, Roshi nodded and said, "Then excuse me, Nicole, we..."
I was just going to ask Nicole's opinion, but halfway through speaking, Roshi suddenly remembered Nicole's side of the matter and took precautions, so he hurriedly asked Lanis: "Hello, Great Elder, I take the liberty to ask you, I heard my friend Nicole say that the mermaid clan has a rule, and the mermaids of the mermaid clan cannot go to the human world, otherwise they will be..."
"Not bad!"
Lanis gave Roshi a positive reply, but she then looked at Nicole twice, turned back to Roshi, and asked, "Lord Wizard, if I'm not mistaken, this one of my people should have already advanced, right?
"A wizard friend of mine. Roshi nodded
"Well, that's not exactly breaking the rules, the mermaid after the promotion, with the permission of our elders, can go to the human world, she can return to the race, according to her current strength, we will rearrange her position. ”
The implication is that she has the final say here, and she sets the rules anyway.
Lanis said this in front of the clan, and it was impossible to go back on her word, and after saying that, she raised her chin slightly and aimed at Nicole, waiting for the mermaid who had just been pardoned for a serious sin to be grateful.
But to her surprise, Nicole didn't show excitement and excitement because of this, but her expression looked a little hesitant and embarrassed?
While Lanis was still surprised, Rosie's voice rang out: "That's the case, Nicole is my friend, we have been together for a while, and we are more familiar with each other, I may continue to travel with her, hoping for your permission?"
"Traveling, with a merfolk?" Lanese's expression became a little unnatural.
She knows what the mermaid's face is like in the eyes of humans, so there is only one reason to keep this mermaid around, I can't imagine that this wizard still has this habit, although the mermaid is no different from humans after coming ashore, but they will not feel the pleasure of humans, let alone have a corresponding physiological reaction, for a while, Lanis's expression became ambiguous.
"I'll discuss this with the Great Elder, but it shouldn't be a big deal. ”
Lanis nodded, then raised her hand to the side, "Wizard, please come here." ”
Coming to the edge of the deck, Lanis opened her mouth and spat out a bubble, motioning for Rosie to enter, who scanned it with her mental power and walked in after there was no danger.
The seemingly paper-thin bubble was stronger than expected, and it dragged Roshi up a little from the ground and then fell into the sea.
Lanis also led the other mermaids into the sea, and Nicole took off her clothes and recreated a large fishtail.
The bubbles are not falling fast or slow, just right for Roshi to see the scenery in the sea.
It's a ravine, rolling mountains from afar, tops covered with colorful corals, large raised reefs, large patches of aquatic plants floating on the sea, wood chips scattered next to the reefs, and traces of the human world such as ship rivets.
Lanis acted as a tour guide, and when she saw that Rosie was puzzled, she introduced him to the origin of these things.
The reefs and aquatic plants here are basically carried and planted by mermaids, and after the sinking of human ships, they will come out to hunt.
At this time, it is generally the time when the mermaid people are most excited, in addition to food, the most important thing is many things in the human world, exquisite jewelry, practical tools, have a great attraction to mermaids.
Lanis came into contact with human civilization for the first time during a hunt, and became curious, so she took the initiative to apply to go to the human world after being promoted, and then was attracted by the rich and wonderful civilization there, so she has always retained her human form, which was originally not allowed in the mermaid race, but because of her special identity, no one dared to say anything.
Surrounded by schools of merfolk, Roshi's bubbles went all the way to the bottom of the ravine, which was the bottom of the ravine, where there was a long riverbed, covered with golden sand, and some large sea crabs, burying themselves in the sand, or clinging to the corals of the same color next to them, allowing themselves to merge with the corals.
At the bottom of the riverbed there is a long gap several meters wide, like a canyon, and most of the light is blocked by the coral groups on both sides of the riverbed, so that it looks pitch black.
The bubbles sank along this gap, and on both sides were thick stone walls, as if walking into a long and narrow tunnel for a day, and a feeling of surprise came to my face.
This situation did not last long, and after descending for about ten minutes, he finally left the canyon, and then, this colorful underwater world appeared in front of Roshi's eyes.
