"If I pray to Lord Lorelei, to whom does Lord Lorelei pray?"

"I would pray to the oldest god of the Three Pillars. ”

- A legend that no one cares about

After the gods raised the torch of eternal life, everyone could only see the torch because the light was too dazzling. They thought that the gods were exalted by the age.

Not really.

—Jessica's memories

Furon had left the gate open, and it almost became the Tower of Babel.

—Fren's Door

It's a story about a god-like doer, a story about believers, a story about other races. At the same time, it is also a story of a wayward goddess who sends her family at will.

Morris's life-saver is swimming in the deep sea at this time, which is her eternal and warm home, and the birds that can only look down on the sea naturally can't find her.

Few people know about the existence of the Sea Clan, even though many have heard their legends when they were young – they scoff at it as false. There are so many things that the Flren people don't believe. If someone told them that there was a history before the imperial calendar, they would have refuted it.

This is true of the vast majority of the Flren people.

They farmed, gathered, fished, ranched, looted and stole to survive the next winter. They indulge in riches, honors, territories, and drunken dreams. Even the big people at the pinnacle of power, in their eyes, can only see the endless conquest sky of the Fren Continent.

They can't see the fog of Tirel, or intelligent life beyond humans.

......

Jessica can still recall the first time the two met.

It does not contain any emotional component. In her opinion, it was a rather historic encounter – for two races who had not met in a long time.

Just as Lorelei had promised on the Badlands that "I would send my Walker to walk Tyrell", it was in that capacity that Jessica was sent here.

But when she first woke up from the depths of the ocean, she didn't know what she was going to do.

The oracles of the goddess are often vague, and Jessica knows this very well. Her power is also difficult to guess, and Jessica just feels that she has had a dream and wakes up in a strange place.

She was a little confused, but not annoyed.

She breathed in the sea, and the deep sea was pitch black - it was normal. But the taste of the sea is unfamiliar. She swung her tail fin swiftly and swam towards the translucent sea.

That's right, she is indeed a mermaid.

When she reached the surface, she realized that it was stormy night. Lightning, rolling thunder, torrential rain, and huge waves came together. The ocean is manic and turbulent. She shuddered for a moment.

However, at this moment, a small boat appeared in her field of vision. It was tossed to the crest of the waves by the tide and then fell to the bottom with the waves.

It was the first time she had seen a ship, but she quickly understood what it was for. Because there was a strange man who rode on it, and sailed on the sea.

It's funny, Jessica thought. The lower half of this man's body is a pair of inverted hands, and he is a male.

Is this what a man on the land looks like?

Would it scare him if I asked him for directions? But I don't know their language...... Jessica thought worriedly.

She didn't know that she was the first person in the mermaid tribe to witness the whole process of human shipwreck. The sea is life-threatening, and it is unimaginable to her.

Therefore, when she saw this man fall into the water, she heard him make a panicked sound. She only then realized what had happened.

He's going to die......

Jessica sped over and rescued the strange man from the water.

"Save ...... Help me, help me!" the language of this man was different from the language of the Sea Clan she knew, but she could understand it. It's like there's another voice in my heart helping to translate.

It's the power of Lord Lorelei. Jessica understood.

This is the beginning.

......

At that time, the disoriented mermaid girl wandered at sea for a long time. She was alone, but she wasn't terrified. Broadly speaking, the ocean is her home, and although she has never been there, this closeness is innate. She has lived in the water for generations, relying on her singing to drive away fish and shrimp, chasing ocean currents to graze herd, and cultivating and weaving on the seabed.

She realized that this strange man could not live in the sea, so she placed him unconscious on the reef in the early morning when another larger ship came from nearby.

The ships were all of the same kind of terrestrial people. They rescued him.

After both the escape boat and the human, she saw the mast and the flag for the first time.

She simply followed their course. The oracle is the guide, and the miracle is traceable. She thought it was supposed to be like this.

The people on the ship didn't notice her existence, after all, the sea favored her.

To adapt to the darkness of the depths of the ocean, Jessica's eyes are uniquely constructed. So it wasn't that difficult for her to see what was going on on the ship. The young man, in particular, seems to have a soft spot for looking out at the sea, and when he is idle or lazy to tell a story to a little girl who is born on the boat, he will come to the side of the ship.

He saw me before he fell unconscious. Jessica thought, that's why he looked out to sea so often.

......

When the young man told the little girl the story of the mermaid, she eavesdropped nearby. She didn't expect that the legend of the terrestrial people was also related to the Sea Clan. And the perspective is quite unique. They believed that the Sea Tribes were kind-hearted and would rescue shipwrecked ships. He also thinks that the Sea Clan is vicious, and uses their singing to confuse the passing crew and eat them.

That was the first time Jessica knew the power of her singing. For her, singing is like eating and sleeping, it is an instinct. They use it as a way to graze fish, not knowing that it can confuse humans.

Jessica tried it out of her curiosity that night, and the whole ship fell silent.

However, she did not realize that the little girl had escaped the magic, and the mermaid's singing was only effective for males, a blind spot unknown to the original storytellers - because not being able to bring women on board was one of Fren's oldest taboos.

Therefore, the mermaiden did not know that the young man had discovered her horse's feet.

......

Jessica was alarmed by the sound of a trumpet when something happened at sea, and she was wandering aimlessly in the depths of the sea, like a human walking after a meal. She didn't know what was happening on the sea. When the young man blew the horn, the mermaiden emerged from the water in a daze. Her eyesight is much stronger than that of a human.

In the darkness of the night, she saw the young man kneeling on the high platform, groaning in pain, as if he had been shot by an arrow. Jessica was startled, what had happened?she thought.

The terrestrial people on the ship were in a commotion, and the leading male drew his weapon. The remaining part of the people, on his orders, returned to the cabin in search of weapons. They are ready for a war.

The young man has been helped down by them.

Jessica looked in the direction the arrow was coming from, and she saw nothing.

So she dived into the sea to breathe, and the smell of blood seemed to be gone. She parted the waves in the direction of the flavor – it was also her instinct. Her speed was so fast that when she swam about 1 mile or so, she saw signs of another boat.

It was nothing special, except for a banner painted with a skull emblem that hunted on the mast.

Unbeknownst to Jessica, it was a pirate ship, and it was an old acquaintance of Morris, the "Beer Barrel".

But her mind was full of thoughts:

In the darkness of night, can an arrow be shot that far with precision?
