Chapter 141: A big misunderstanding
From the stormy waves, the earth and the mountains suddenly became calm, the rain passed and the sky was clear, and the refugees felt as if they were in a different world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
However, this mood was only temporary, and soon they returned to panic and hurried across the sea again.
Without the hindrance of the wind and waves, the escape went smoothly, and soon after, all the mermaids were assigned to the fishmen.
In this way, this escape team of only a few hundred people crossed the sea and marched towards Kaulu. The Fish-Man took good care of the merfolk, at least not a single merfolk were abandoned or drowned along the way.
When this large army came to the city of Khao Lu, the Khao Lu soldiers who had just been ravaged by the dragon were so frightened when they saw so many fish men, and even went on war alert, and even the king himself came out to supervise the battle.
However, when the mermaid soldiers surrounded the refugees who had crossed the sea, they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw so many merfolk compatriots.
Later, after negotiation and explanation, the soldiers of Khao Lu finally learned what had happened. Seeing that so many captives were able to return safely, the merfolk were naturally very happy. Especially seeing that so many children were safe and sound, the entire city of Khao Lu even let out a cheer of victory.
However, for the merfolk who helped the captives escape, the merfolk were still a little suspicious. But in any case, you can't put the blame on all the fishmen, especially the fishmen who helped the merfolk. Khan thus thanked the fish people personally.
At this time, Rui's face seemed to be a little strange, and he saw that the mermaid puppet girl made up her mind to take a deep breath, and stood up and said to the king: "All the mermaids of Ryfsea must give up half of their property to the mermaid!"
Hearing this, the king's face sank and he turned his head to look at the "mermaid traitor".
Give up half of their fortune!?What are you kidding!?Although these fish-men have helped the merfolk, there are still some fish-men who are full of evil. Even if the fish-men did not make a rebellion, even the group of fish-men in front of them who helped the mermaid children return safely would not have been rewarded so heavily.
However, when the gloomy Khan saw the things in the hands of the mermaid puppet mother, he finally couldn't calm down, his gloomy face changed and changed, and finally burst out with a sentence as difficult as eating stool: "How did this thing come about?"
In the hands of Rui. It was a gold coin - this was no ordinary gold coin, the Mermaid King recognized it at a glance, it was one of only three Merfolk Wishing Coins left in the world.
"It was given to me by Mr. Chu Shou, and he said it was his wish. Rui replied.
When these gold coins were given to the warriors who recovered the "Tears of the Sea". The merfolk once made a promise: "As long as it is within its power, it will definitely fulfill the wish of the gold holder." β
The first few Gold Wishing Coins were not very demanding, which made the mermaids breathe a sigh of relief, however, they never thought about it. The test for them is at this moment.
Giving the fish people the general property, is this something that is beyond the reach of computing power?
To tell the truth, this is within one's means, after all, money is something outside the body, and it is only distributed to ordinary property, so it will not kill them.
But are the merfolk willing to do it? After all, this is to divide half of the property, not a small amount, and it is still divided among the fishmen. It's simply unacceptable to the mermaids.
"Chu Shou...... Why did he come up with such an idea. Khan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt bitter.
Nonsense, do you think that it is enough to say that the fishman is just relying on his incorruptible tongue and some kind of moral credibility and so on? Interests, interests! Almost all negotiations are centered on this issue.
After Chu Shou successfully broke the religious lie and maintained the reputation of the mermaid, he showed the gold wishing coin and made this promise to the fishmen.
It can be said that if there is no such promise, it is estimated that even if the fishmen are full of guilt, Chu Shou would not be able to move so many fishmen to reach out to help.
As for the mermaid's feelings, you ask Chu Shou this question, do you think that kind of pervert will think about itβhe didn't pay for the money anyway!
It's just that the mermaid's attitude towards Jane No. 3 of the Hou Gong hurt this mermaid Hou Gong. It made Chu Shou very dissatisfied. If it weren't for Jane's feelings for the mermaid, maybe Chu Shou would have sided with the mermaid a long time ago.
Although this time it makes the mermaid bleed, it can alleviate the merman's dissatisfaction with the mermaid, so count. The merfolk are not for nothing, either.
Of course, Chu Shou will not envisage the specific things of this design.
After all, this design is a very large project, and there will be a lot of cheats and shortcomings in it. According to modern thinking, if you want to implement it perfectly, you may need to use various measures such as fund insurance. However, these were too complicated, and Chu Shou didn't bother to design for the mermaids.
Khan slowly took the Wishing Gold Coin from Rui's hand. Then, in the face of all the merfolk, he held up the extraordinarily expensive object.
When the mermaid saw the Wishing Gold Coins, they recognized them at a glance. They all fell silent, almost holding their breath, wondering what the coin would be.
The merfolk were nervous and focused on the gold coins, they couldn't believe that the merfolk would agree to this condition, their wishes were not so extravagant, they just wanted to get the corresponding bonus.
Khan used his magic to raise his voice and then told everyone what he wanted for the gold coin.
It was as if a bomb had been thrown into the crowd, and it boiled all at once, and the mermaids talked about it, and many of the mermaids even felt extremely angry - why should the fish people give them half of their own property!?
"If you don't want to, please stand to the left, and if you agree to this wish, please stand on the right. Once again, the king used magic to suppress the tumult and announced slowly.
Contrary to what the fishmen expected, the merfolk all stopped talking and walked silently to the right, and no one stayed on the left, let alone hesitated.
Unexpectedly, the merfolk unanimously approved Chu Shou's completely nonsense wish, this is the reputation of the mermaids - they would rather use their lives to protect their oath than become a breach of the contract, let alone give half of their property.
"Hehe, it looks like it's going to be very busy for a while. Khan knew that in order to achieve this wish, he had to organize a lot of manpower and material resources to complete all kinds of work to reduce fraud and loopholes along the way - after all, this is a lot of money!
"I suppose Chu Shou must have said something, right?" Khan asked, turning his head to look at Rui.
"Yes......" Rui hesitated for a moment before he said in confusion, "He told me that the wealth of a wolf can only be inherited by the blood of a wolf, and that if it becomes a sheep, don't think about it, because that will only make it die faster." β
Rui didn't understand what this sentence meant, he simply thought that Chu Shou was just a poet for a while and said some philosophical topics.
However, when Khan heard this, he was very unhappy. The survival of the kingdom of Ralfthy today is made possible by the unrelenting battle of the mermaid ancestors against humans with their blood. However, with the decrease in the fertility rate of mermaids, merfolk gradually became too doting on their children, resulting in the gradual decay and mediocrity of the mermaid class.
For example, this time the merfolk rebelled, and the mermaid's reaction was too ...... It's a shame, if it weren't for Jane, this magical girl's battle to the death, maybe the mermaid would really be defeated.
Thinking of this, Khan turned to look at Jane's companion and asked, "Where is Jane?"
Based on Jane's contribution to the mermaid, Khan felt that he could be cleared of the charge of being a "covenant breaker" by this time, and he had already made up his mind to do so.
"Your Excellency, can I ask Mr. Rui some questions?" A blonde girl stepped forward in response to the king's question, her eyes red and her eyes fluttering, staring at Rui.
This hostile look made Rui a little flustered, and the well-behaved mermaid puppet girl hurriedly lowered her head and avoided this gaze: "Please, please don't say that, if you have any questions, I will definitely answer." β
The king also allowed Colleen to ask questions.
"Excuse me, what is the relationship between Chu Shou and Lin Yan, and is he also involved in this plan?Otherwise, how did he get this mermaid's Wishing Gold Coins?"
There are only three Wishing Gold coins left in this world, Jacqueline has two, and the other one is in Lin Yan's hands. In Colleen's opinion, the gold coin owned by Chu Shou could not be Jacqueline's, then, it could only be Lin Yan's!
Based on this conjecture, Colleen suddenly decided that Chu Shou and Lin Yan were accomplices, and the two planned this conspiracy together, which can also explain why Chu Shou also appeared on Meria Island! )
