"What a situation. Finding a free moment, Catherine pulled Pannis aside and whispered, "I remember that if you are of different races, you can't have children, why would she ask such a question?"

"The merfolk are the exception, the only exception. Pannis explained in a whisper: "The merfolk are all women, and they absorb the breath of the living that escapes from the opposite sex in the process of mating to give birth to their own offspring, and if they can't do it once, they can absorb it many times, even if it's not the same race and the same person." Therefore, there is generally no father in the merfolk population, but there are exceptions, and some merfolk do have feelings for other races, and they will settle down with their loved ones for a long time, so they can be regarded as having a father. In recent centuries, among the new generation of mermaids, it has become popular to find their fathers. ”

"I know so clearly. Catherine squinted at Pannis, deliberately pulled a few steps away, and said in a strange tone: "It seems that her suspicions are still very reasonable, you really have her father's willingness." ”

"Scum. Vivien's floppy hat poked out from behind Catherine: "I misjudged you. ”

"Beasts are inferior. Lina glared at Pannis with disgust and said disdainfully, "It's so bad that you don't even let go of the fish form." ”

"Hey, I said you three. Pannis's forehead was full of blood vessels, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm innocent, okay? I'm a victim now, so you can't say that about me." ”

"Well, if you're resistant to the idea that the beast is inferior, it's better to change it. Lina bit her lip and thought, "Then it's better to be like a beast, it's much better than a beast." ”

"You guys, it's really infuriating. Pannis gritted his teeth and said, "How good you are to learn from Freya, see how good she is to help you attract their attention without complaining, what a good teammate." ”

"Hey, that Mr. Playboy who seems to be Lanna's father. Freya, who was praised by Pannis, turned around and shouted as if she had a feeling, "Lanna, they ask, do you need to invite Mr. Captain over there to come over for lunch." ”

"No need. Pannis covered his face as if he were breaking down. Moaning in a voice of despair, "I'm really not her father, although I know Doris, but she was born a long time ago, I'm really innocent." ”

"You know the merfolk priests. Catherine covered her mouth and sneered, pushed Pannis behind her back and said, "We have already guessed, let's go, go to dinner, don't procrastinate, let the guests wait in a hurry when the time comes." ”

"Whose reason is it? Pannis smiled wryly, pinching his forehead and walking into the pergola. Reheat the prepared lunch: "Is Doris alright?"

"My mother is very good, and she is about to be relieved of her duties in more than 30 years. Lan Na took a grilled fish, gently tore off a piece with her slender fingers and stuffed it into her mouth, stretched out her pink tongue and licked her white fingertips: "She said that she will be relaxed after she is relieved, and she will come to the shore to play with you when the time comes." He also said that you are not your father, and your mother never said that you would go ashore and play with other people. ”

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about it. Pannis sighed and said, "Doris and I are just friends, we met when we went to the deep sea in the past, and we have no other relationship. It's not your father, so you should die. ”

"Alas, what a pity. Lan Na sighed, coquettish with feelings of loss and disappointment. Makes her voice sound even more irresistible. However, Lan Na was a royal princess in the deep sea after all, and she quickly recovered her state, no longer thinking about her father, and praised with a gentle smile as usual: "Mr. Pannis." I've eaten a lot of food on land, but I have to admit that the food you grill is absolutely top-notch. ”

"That's because the ingredients are fresh. They were still in the sea an hour ago. Pannis picked up a shell that was much larger than a human face and said, "Some of them are because they are troublesome to cook, such as this thing." ”

"Silent Hunter?" Lamia kept silent during Lanna's search for her father, only secretly glancing at Pennis with a murderous gaze, until the misunderstanding was resolved, and her usual stern expression was restored, and she said in a cold voice: "It's very common for this thing to hunt small fish on the bottom of the sea all year round. But isn't it very difficult to eat? The shellfish inside is as tough as a lizard tail gum, and it can't be chewed at all, and even if it is chopped and swallowed reluctantly, it will be uncomfortable in the stomach for several days, and no one in the sea will eat it, and you people on land dare to eat it?"

"Of course, I dare to eat it, but it is too laborious to cook, and ordinary people can't do it. Pannisy unveiled the shell on top, revealing the tender white flesh inside, which had been cut into small pieces and sprinkled with bright crumbs of flowers and plants, and the ripe flesh was exuding an enticing aroma: "After killing it, the whole shell is dug out, cut into thumb-sized pieces, and then the surface of the shell is repeatedly slapped with skill, and its muscles are scattered. After that, it is smoked over a slight fire for 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes, it is repeatedly beaten dozens of times, and then roasted normally for 10 minutes before it can be eaten. ”

"You know more about the food in the sea than we sea tribes. Lamia's calm face showed a rare expression of surprise, and the snake's tail coiled on the ground also subconsciously swept around the beach because of the change in mood.

Pannis was even more surprised than her, and asked, "This is what Doris herself taught me, and you don't know it?"

"Mother must not love me anymore. Lan Na pretended to be very cute and pitiful, and pretended to be depressed and said, "I have never eaten such fragrant food, I am so sad." ”

"Well, then you can try it. Pannis scratched his head and reluctantly handed over the seashell in his hand: "But even after this processing, you can't eat more, and generally one person can't eat more." ”

"Such a big shell, you can eat one and you will be full. Lina didn't know when she put on her decorative glasses again, and said expressionlessly: "But it's really better to eat less of this thing, especially ordinary people, it's hard to digest in the stomach." ”

"Lina. Catherine now felt a headache when she saw Lina put on her glasses, and asked in a low voice, "Why have you always changed to the way you are these days, and do you have any special needs?"

"Miranda is an expert in oceanography. Lina lifted her glasses, shook the book next to her that was thicker than the diameter of her wrist, and looked at Catherine without any waves: "I've been learning about the ocean with her these days, and I can't help it if I change it to the way it is now." ”

"Okay, whatever you want. Catherine shook her head helplessly, ignoring Lina, who was hiding behind her glasses. Turning his head to Lan Na, who was holding the shell and tasting it, he said, "Let's get down to business, how do we get into the deep sea?"

"Amphibious beads. Lanna's mouth was filled with food, but Pannis, along with Lina, answered for her. Pannis shrugged her shoulders and closed her mouth, Lina opened the book in her hand and said: "A pearl that is also extremely precious to the underwater world, it can allow the land race to get the ability to breathe with skin in the water for a certain period of time, and it can greatly enhance the flexibility of the land race in the water, and it is the best tool for the sea tribe to invite the land race to visit the underwater world." However, the amphibious bead is very troublesome to use, and it is necessary to cut the skin on the back, embed the pearl and activate it with the secret method of the sea clan. Finally, treatment is given to allow the wound to heal. ”

"But even so. Catherine asked, "What if there is a battle in the middle of the mission?" I don't think the Amphibious Orb can make us fight as if we were on the road. ”

"I don't know. Lina said as a matter of course: "Miranda is only a weak scholar, she has never really entered the deep sea, and all her knowledge is derived from the records of others. ”

"Actually, Miss Lina is basically right, but there are some details that are likely to be unknown to those people. Lan Na didn't know Lina's specific situation, and only regarded Miranda in Lina's mouth as a scholar who still existed in reality, and corrected: "The biggest function of the amphibious bead is not only to breathe underwater as the scholar said, but also to control the user independently, so that the body can enter a state of detachment from the water." In the water-free state, the water obstruction to the user is minimized. Although it cannot be said that there are no obstacles at all, it is also very large to alleviate the effects of the battle in the sea. Moreover, this mission does not have to be in the sea, so Catherine you don't need to worry. ”

"Not in the deep sea?" Catherine asked in surprise, "No." It's just not in the sea?"

"Yes. Lan Na hesitated slightly, glanced at Pennis, gritted her teeth and said, "Although I really don't know the details of the task that Mother wants to entrust to you, I can guess part of it. I'll tell you now. ”

"Your Highness. Lamia was startled and wanted to say something, but Lana stopped her with her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey. I'm not your father. The corners of Pannis's eyes jumped: "You look at me like this and then tell me the secret of our behavior to make me ......"

"I know, I know. Lan Na interrupted Pannis's words with a little impatience for the first time, giving the impression that she was really a rebellious daughter: "This is my own choice, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Ha, ha. Pannis was stunned and could only smile wryly and hang his head.

"In recent decades, there has been a very strange area in the sea. Lan Na recalled, "In that area, many sea tribes have disappeared one after another, and many of them are very powerful underwater warriors. Many investigation teams were sent by the various tribes to explore the cause, but all the investigations were never returned. Later, the tribes under the sea united under the call of the temple to investigate, but the results of the investigation were tightly sealed, and only the strong people and mothers of the tribes knew about it, and only a safe area was set up around that area, and any sea tribe who crossed the safe range would be responsible for the consequences. ”

"Before my mother asked me to go to you for commission, I vaguely heard someone mention that the range was suddenly expanding, I don't know if it was just the scope of that area, and my mother was really irritable during that time. Lanna sighed, glanced at Pannis again, and continued, "So I really hope that you can solve this problem so that Mother can be happy as soon as possible." ”

"But what does that have to do with not necessarily fighting in the sea?" Catherine asked.

"Didn't I say that?" Lan Na was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically, "The center of that area is said to be a medium-sized island. (To be continued......)
