A month and a half later, the West Sea, Mermaid Bay.

Mermaid Bay in the western sea is actually made up of a reef beach hidden under the surface of the sea, this sea area is so rich in aquatic plants that it looks dark all year round, most of the time there is fog, visibility is very low, but almost all ships passing here will run aground and sink, turning into a mermaid's dinner.

When Roshi arrived here, it was already a month and a half after his departure, and out of the fact that he did not have a good relationship with the merfolk and humans, he left the people of Golden Rose in the town of Barry, where the strange shellfish was kept, and he and Nicole took a small dhow to Mermaid Bay alone.

Standing on the bow deck, Roshi looked out over the unfamiliar sea.

Unlike other parts of the ocean, the sea here is incredibly calm, you can't feel the slightest sea breeze, and you can't see the slightest wave on the sea, only the ripples of the boat when it is moving and the two dolphins dragging the boat below are swinging from both sides, like a lake in a dense forest, no... It should be backwater.

There is a layer of white mist floating on the surface of the sea, which is very viscous, except that it does not choke its nose, it is no different from the billowing smoke of a fire battlefield, and the sight can only see the scenery from ten meters away at most.

"Is this here, Nicole?" looked at it for a while, but Rosie really couldn't see anything of value, and turned his head to Nicole and asked.

"It's... Yes..."

Nicole, who had been smiling brightly these days, disappeared from her face as she approached this strange sea, replaced by a palpable fear that seemed to tremble all the time when the ship entered the waters.

"Don't be afraid, Nicole, no one here knows we're related to Margaret anyway. Roshi reassured

Roshi thinks that Nicole's fear is because of Margaret, after all, Margaret killed so many of their enemies at that time, and for the grudge-holding fish-people, this is not something that can be revealed in a few words.

"Hmm... I know—" Nicole said with a shudder

Roshi frowned slightly, she felt that Nicole's nervousness seemed to be a little excessive, even if she stayed with Margaret these days, but in principle, she was also forced, wasn't she?

"You still have something to hide from me?" Roshi asked suddenly, raising an eyebrow

"No... No—" Nicole hurriedly shook her head, but Roshi could see her eyes dodging.

"Nicole. Roshi turned around, grabbed Nicole's shoulders, and said seriously, "We're companions now, aren't we? I want you to tell me everything, you know, we're taking risks, and there will be many more adventures in the future, and if the information is asymmetrical, we're going to be in a lot of trouble." ”

Nicole Dai frowned, hesitated for a moment, sighed softly, and continued: "Roshi, did I tell you about it? We mermaids can't go to the human world without permission, it's a felony. ”

"Well, I know that, but you didn't mean it, and besides, didn't you leave everything you bought in Barry, and you threw your clothes into the sea in front of you?" Roshi asked, looking at Nicole naked in front of him

Nicole's cheeks flashed an unnatural crimson, and after this period of travel in the human world, she naturally knew that humans wear clothes not just to look good, but also to know the difference between men and women.

After a while, she swept away the messy thoughts in her head, sighed again, lowered her head and said: "But what I didn't tell you is that no matter what the reason is, no matter what reason our race has, when any mermaid who has left Mermaid Bay without permission and returns to the tribe, he must be tortured by the sea god, this kind of torture is straight to the heart, it is meaningless to conceal, once it is detected that the mermaid has arrived in the human world, it will be executed." ”

"What?" Roshi was surprised, "Then you're coming back with me?"

Nicole gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words back and lowered her head deeper: "I'm sorry..."

"It's because... What about mermaid tears?" Roshi asked suddenly

Nicole didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

"That's it..."Roshi frowned: "You should have told me these things earlier, now it seems to be more troublesome than me to take the mermaid's tears alone, those people of yours are not easy to deal with, one or two are okay, too much, I am not Margaret, and ......"

Nicole bit her lip, her expression became more sad, and it was only at this time that she suddenly realized that Luo Xi said this, and she felt guilty for a while.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a slight warmth on her shoulders, and the familiar silk was smooth and dared to fall on her shoulders, which was a crescent-white cloak.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Roshi looking at her with a smile: "And we don't have to throw your pearl-encrusted dress into the sea, that dress is beautiful on you." ”

Nicole was stunned, she opened her mouth to say something, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Roxi: "Okay, it's useless to say anything at this time, don't worry, although I may not be able to fight, but I have the ability to escape... I haven't seen anyone better than me. ”

Nicole was stunned, and an emotion that she couldn't describe crept up from the bottom of her heart, and this emotion was so wonderful that it made her whole body feel warm

After a pause, Roshi continued: "If your people are really bad at talking about the conditions, we will tell Margaret when we go back, the mermaid here says that she is an ugly bastard, an old witch, she can't marry for the rest of her life, and she has hair on her body!"

“......”

Nicole was silent for a moment, she rolled her eyes and thought about it seriously, and then she soon realized that what Roshi said made a lot of sense, if it was Miss Margaret the Wizard, it should be easy to deal with her own people.

She nodded, agreeing with Roshi's opinion, "Hmm. ”

"Ding!"

At this moment, the sound of fluctuating strings sounded in the distance, and with this sound came a trace of ripples on the originally calm water surface, at first it was just a shallow ripple, but it intensified, as if an invisible hand reached into the water surface and began to stir violently, and after a while, a large whirlpool was formed.

"Whoa!"

The violent sound of flowing water suddenly exploded, and a column of water several meters high rose from the center of the whirlpool, and a red-haired mermaid with a face like frost and willow eyebrows appeared at the top of the water column, holding a trident in his hand, staring at the two Roshi on the boat, and the first sentence of the cold voice made Nicole's face turn pale all of a sudden.

"The lowly mermaid dared to violate the ban of the sea god, and dared to drag this dirty body back to defile this holy land, who gave you such courage?"

This sound is like a sonorous bell, and like a thunder ringing in the sky, it seems to have a shocking effect while hitting people's eardrums.

Nicole was trembling, her head was blank, there was no trace of blood on her face, and she was panicked or panicked in a pair of beautiful pupils.

Roshi looked at the mermaid in front of him, who seemed to be very powerful, and then at Nicole's panicked appearance, there was no way.

He took a step forward, blocked Nicole behind him, nodded and replied:

"It's me. ”
