Chapter 138: The Daughter of the Sea
"The daughters of the sea dwell deep at the bottom of the sea, and are only qualified to go beyond the sea when they have reached the age of fifteen, first the oldest, and then, one after the other, until at last, the youngest and most beautiful can freely rise to the surface and look far into the world. ”
......
"Don't you want your beautiful tail? Will you give up the freedom to float like a dance?" said the little mermaid, "I do." "It's stupid," said the sea witch, "love is stupid! there's nothing more stupid than that...... However, I am more than willing to help you, because I love to see how a woman's dream of love is shattered, and I can give you a potion to turn your tail into two beautiful human legs. Of course you have to pay the price, and you will suffer for it-?" said the little mermaid, "I do." ”
......
The little mermaid found that her tail was gone, and in its place were two slender legs that only a human woman had. When she began to walk, her feet felt like they were stepping on a sharp knife, and she felt like she was bleeding. "Yes, the sea witch said I was going to suffer," she thought, and it was like that—every step was like walking on a steel knife—every step to love was a steel knife......! Dance on the steel knife!"
......
The little mermaid sang softly, and her beautiful and sad song fluttered on the deserted seashore. This is the time when the day is coming to an end...... The little mermaid sings alone, with a faint hope of love. She has the most beautiful voice at the bottom of the sea and on earth, but she is a child who loves silence - and love makes her even more silent. She only sings. Sing. In the singing, she felt that the pain no longer seemed so intense, and in the singing there was something beautiful growing. Because we know that love is good, even if we don't get it back - it's still beautiful in our own hearts......"
"Is this a song from heaven?"
......
She looked at him, her smile faint. She looked at him, he was still so good, she still loved him. Love is her own, and she can never ask of him. She just wanted to look at him, look at him, so that she could remember him. For many days, she wanted to abandon the dust again and again, and stopped again and again. She couldn't remember his face. She couldn't remember. She always thinks, take another look, look at it again and remember. But she still didn't remember. Yes, she heard her heart breaking, shattering like glass into tiny, sharp shards that shot into every corner of her body, and became her secret eternal pain. ”
"It's time to go. It's time to go—forever. In this world, she has paid great expectations, love and pain, and she will never come again. ”
"She is the daughter of the sea. She returned to the sea. She became the daughter of the sea again, and she felt her turn into droplets. Together with countless droplets. Boundless. Ignorance and unawareness. Ningning. Perpetual. And when we see the sea, we can't know which drop of water is a little mermaid, we can't know the story of every drop of water. We can't know the sorrow and sadness there......"
This is Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", it is so appropriate for the current environment, Sivi tells this story, and when the story finally comes to an end, he realizes that all the Naga girls have tears of sadness.
They wept as if they had lived such a beautiful and sad dream.
The Naga warriors in the distance also secretly wiped the sparkle in their eyes when no one was looking.
"Sivi, this story is good, but I don't like it!" Natalia's eyes were red, and she harnessed the seahorse to cling to Sivi, who held her tightly in her arms.
The Poseidon daughters dispersed, as if they had undergone a baptism, and seemed to have matured a lot.
In the days that followed, Sivi noticed that these Naga maidens looked at him with adoration and admiration.
Seven days later, the procession had sailed more than 1,700 kilometers, and the seahorses were very tired, and a Naga city far larger than the city of Kuhala appeared in front of them.
"Mr. Sivi, this is Morred City, the largest city in the western seas of the entire kingdom! we will rest here and move on!" introduced Sivi to the four-armed Naga girl who performed the sword dance, she was the oldest and most majestic of the Poseidon daughters, and was the captain of this team.
"Very good, I also want to see the scenery of this city!" "In his previous life, Sivi was an interstellar level great traveler, and he had visited and ventured into no less than a hundred interstellar civilizations, and the identity of the plane traveler he said was by no means exalted to himself.
At this time, the city of Morred has become a sea of celebrations, less than a month before the opening of the Poseidon Festival, almost all the teams participating in the Poseidon Festival in the entire western sea have to pass through here, and a large number of Naga warriors and Poseidon daughters who want to participate in the Poseidon Festival gather here.
The Poseidon Temple in Morred City is very large and magnificent, and the main hall here has been opened, and all the Poseidon daughters can live in it, and the Naga warriors have a slightly lower status and can only sleep in the square outside the temple.
As foreign guests, Sivi and Natalia obviously can't enter the temple, so they can only find a place to rest temporarily.
A group of Poseidon daughters of Kuhala City gathered around one by one, reluctantly saying goodbye to Sivi and Natalia, and the two agreed to meet again at the east gate of Morred City in the early morning three days later.
The area of Mored City is very large, it has exceeded the size of Ajaccio, and there are about 60,000 Naga living in it, which is already the top five large cities in the Naga Kingdom.
Ordinary adult Naga residents also have the same strength as first-order warriors, and based on this, the Naga Kingdom, with a total population of about one million, is undoubtedly a very powerful force.
"What do we do now?" asked Natalia.
"I'm thinking that we originally entered this plane from the stone pillars in the east and northeast directions, but now our position is in the west and southwest seas of the Naga Kingdom. That is, the location of their trio is almost certain. Guess what Gugri, Katerina, and Cook are going to do?"
Sivi took the reins of the seahorse and walked along the wide streets of Mored City.
"The royal capital of the Naga kingdom is almost permanently closed on all sides, closed to the outside world all year round, and only completely open during the triennial sea god festival. I think they will definitely blend in with the Seagod Sacrifice team! This is the only way and reason to go to the royal capital Saganar! I don't know too much about the peak combat power of the Naga Kingdom, but it is almost impossible for a medium-sized plane to give birth to a legendary powerhouse! In other words, they are likely to be in other cities with a similar status to Morred City in the other three seas, trying to control the situation, and even secretly spy on the temple!"
Once transferred to the mindset of the count's heir, Natalia is still very reliable.
