"Are we the elders of the mermaid clan?" Rasini nodded, and replied to Luo Xi in front of him, "Yes, as an elder, he has a certain privilege in the mermaid clan, and he does not have to participate in Wang Zhu's cultivation work, and he has more time at his disposal than ordinary mermaids. ”

After a pause, Rasney asked Roshi in some surprise, "But, Wizard, why are you suddenly interested in these things about our merfolk?"

As soon as she was busy with the sacrifice, Luo Xi came to the door, and Rasini thought he was here to say goodbye, but she unexpectedly asked her about the mermaid elder, and asked him about the selection mechanism of the mermaid elder.

"That's right—" Rosie nodded, then smiled faintly, giving Laceney an answer she hadn't expected.

"Truth be told, I'm actually asking on Nicole's behalf. ”

"Nicole?" Razney's eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "Nicole wants to participate in the selection of the merfolk elders?"

After a pause, she continued to ask Roshi suspiciously, "I always thought you were going to continue your journey with Nicole, and Nicole told me the same thing, isn't that so?"

"This—" Roshi frowned.

Originally, he had planned it this way, but after talking to Granny Crab yesterday, he felt that he had really thought it out a little bit.

After all, his identity is not very clean in the first place, and once many things break out, even he doesn't know what will happen.

What's more, Granny Crab is right, if two people stay together, they will naturally become dependent and have feelings after a long time, Luo Xi looked back and thought about it carefully, and did find that he had paid a lot more attention to this mermaid recently.

And once the relationship is generated, it is not so easy to give up, but compared to the wizard, the life of a mermaid is too short, in order to avoid the unhappiness of the time, it is better to snuff out this sign as soon as possible.

"It's a bit complicated to explain. Roshi straightened his face: "But I may not be able to continue my trip with Nicole, so I hope to give her a better settlement before leaving." ”

"That's right..."

"Yes, then, is there a problem with Nicole's participation in the selection of elders? Ms. Rasney? Or rather, what price should I pay to make him run for the position of Merfolk Elder?" Roshi then asked

"As I told you, we merfolk don't respect the law of equivalent exchange. Rasini shook her head with a smile and paused, she continued: "Originally, the number of elders of the merfolk clan was fixed, and only after the death of the current elder could new candidates be re-elected, but because of everything you have done to the merfolk clan, as the most sincere friend of the merfolk clan, we will try our best to meet your request." ”

After a pause, she continued: "In this way, let's let Ni join the elder seat as an elder first, and once there is a vacancy in the elder seat, let her fill it, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

I thought you were talking nonsense to me just to get higher benefits at a small price.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that although the merfolk do have something to help them, they really haven't treated him badly.

"Well, then I'll thank Lady Laceney for Nicole. Roshi nodded

"Not really. Rassini shook her head.

But then, she looked into the distance, where Nicole was saying goodbye to a few merfolk she knew, her pretty face smiling like a blooming flower.

Rasney retracted her gaze, "Wizard, with all due respect, did you tell her that you were going to let Nicole participate in the selection of elders?"

"Not yet. Roshi shook his head

"Then you'd better talk to her," Laceney sighed softly, "I don't think she's going to be interested in the eldership." ”

"........." Roshi was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Nicole over there.

........................

The day after talking to Laceni, Rosie departed, silently.

He didn't say goodbye to Nicole, and he didn't even say anything about the decision he made with Nicole.

The main thing is that this thing is not easy to explain, and if it is explained, it will only get darker and darker.

To be honest, when I left, I was still a little disappointed.

Maybe I've been single for a long time, and I've been with Nicole for a few years, and I've really had more laughter and laughter, and my psychological loneliness has faded a little, and now I'm going to go on the road alone again, and I'm inevitably a little lost.

However, this also made Roshi's decision more and more certain.

Now the feelings are not deep, there is this sense of loss, if you get along for a long time, I can't believe the sadness when the other party passes away quietly in front of my eyes.

Roshi didn't want to be like the skeleton man one day.

I don't want to die, I want to live!

Silently reminding him of his goal again, Rosie swept away the jumbled thoughts in his head and stepped into the mouth of a whale that Laceney had summoned for him.

At this time, in the evening, the sun was setting, and the sunset in the sky reflected the sea into a golden red, and with the undulation of the waves, the vast thousands of miles were full of golden light.

With a hiss, a high column of water erupted from the back of the big whale, and the tail of the fish swung hard, setting off a huge wave of more than ten meters, swimming towards the distance.

And just a second after the whale left, a ripple suddenly faded on the surface of the sea that had just calmed down, and then, a small head stretched out from the sea.

The smile that always hangs on the face on weekdays has lost its trace at this time, and although the pretty face is still beautiful, it has a more clearly visible sadness under the light of the sun.

She watched with fascination as the whale vanished into the sky, where only a long trail left by the whale swam by the waves and returned to calm.

Inexplicably, a touch of gold suddenly lit up in the corner of her eyes, and the golden light even overshadowed the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Tick!"

This golden touch slipped down the corner of his eye and dripped into the water, making a ticking sound.

But in the water, it did not disperse to all sides, as if it was a golden pearl, floating left and right along the sea until it sank to the dark bottom of the sea, illuminating the darkness of the bottom of the sea.

A huge pincer held a shell and stretched it out, and the golden pearl that fell fell into the shell, and with a snap, the shell closed up, completely covering the golden light.
