Chapter 158: You seem to have said the word "mermaid"?
"Miss Wendy's story about the mermaid is so touching, I cried when I heard it, I just don't know why the ending was so tragic, I still hope that the mermaid can wait for the prince in the end."
"Of course, Miss Wendy is a master from the royal capital, and her ability to tell stories is much better than that of our troubadours."
"Mmmm, I heard that the story of this mermaid was also adapted by Miss Wendy from someone else's mouth, and I don't know if it's true?"
"Does that mean that the mermaid princess really exists?"
"Maybe."
The two were laughing and chatting as they walked, when they were suddenly stopped by a neatly dressed gentleman, "Sorry, excuse me." β
The two stopped, looked over, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything you can help with, sir? β
"I'm from another city, and I just heard you say the word mermaid, right?"
Speaking of this, the two of them showed excitement on their faces, and highly recommended: "Yes! You don't know yet, this is a show at the Dayas Opera House called the Mermaid Princess, the story is very touching, I recommend you to listen to it too, we almost cried watching it. β
Unexpectedly, after listening to it, a disappointed look appeared on the man's face, "Story, I thought there was a mermaid here like ours." β
Two: "?!!! β
After saying that, the gentlemanly man shook his head and tried to leave, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by the two men.
"Sir, wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?"
"You just said you had mermaids over there?" The two asked incredulously.
The man was not surprised at all, and replied, "Yes, we do have a mermaid over there." β
"You mean a half-human, half-fish mermaid?!"
"Yes, it's a mermaid who is half human and half fish."
"It's the kind of mermaid with blonde hair and a very beautiful appearance and a very good body?"
"Yes, it's the kind of mermaid with pointed ears, a very good figure, and outstanding appearance!"
The two people on the other side glanced at each other, and their breathing became a little rapid, "Wait, wait!" We're a little excited. I would like to ask where is your city? β
"Viscounty Griffin - Nafu City! Some lucky fishermen go out to sea to catch a fish and see mermaids looking out on the shore and not knowing what they are looking at. β
After saying this, the two immediately became excited, "That's right! That's right! It must be the mermaid princess, who is still waiting for the prince! β
The two calmed their excited hearts, "That...... Can you tell us where Nafu City is? β
"Of course no problem!" The gentleman-looking man took out a map of the country from his bosom, skillfully found the location of the southernmost Viscount Griffin, pointed to it, and said, "You are lucky, I go out with a map, and the city of Nafu is here." β
After confirming the location of Nafu City, the two thanked them a few times, and then left in a hurry, they wanted to tell the others about this bombshell news!
After the two of them walked away, the gentleman-dressed man took out a small notebook from his bosom, took out a pen and wrote it down, "Lord Viscount's method is really useful, this is the fifth one today, I have to quickly change into another clothes and continue to work." β
β¦β¦
A drunken man in the tavern suddenly jumped on the table and shouted, "I'll tell you a secret!" β
The howl drew the attention of everyone in the tavern, who all looked at him to see what secrets he could tell.
"Hiccup!" The man burped and poured wine into his mouth, and his companions climbed up in the middle of the day, trying to pull him down, and apologized to the others in the tavern, "I'm sorry, he's drunk, everyone's take care of it." β
"No!" The man broke free from his companion's restraints, struggled to his feet again, and cried out, "Why don't you let me say it!" I'm biased to say! β
"You've got that mermaid in your mouth, I've seen it!"
This sentence was shouted, and everyone in the tavern was startled, and some of the wine glasses in their hands fell to the ground.
The promotion of the Dayas Opera House is very good, and many of them knew the concept of mermaids before Wendy came, and after they came to perform, the story of mermaids began to circulate in the streets and alleys, and almost everyone talked about it.
"Are you telling the truth?" Someone stood up excitedly and asked.
"Of course it's true!" The man burped again, "When I went to Nafu City a few weeks ago to collect iodized salt, I saw with my own eyes that the mermaid was on the shore!" It's exactly like in Miss Wendy's story! β
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the tavern was excited, they originally thought it was just a made-up romantic story, who would have thought that there really was such a creature as a mermaid!
"He seems to be telling the truth, and I've heard people say that Miss Wendy's story is based on a true story." A corner man shouted.
When this shout came out, the people in the tavern immediately fell into excitement.
"Where's that Nafu City? I'm going to take my girlfriend to see the mermaid for myself! If I had proposed at that time, she would have said yes! β
"Good idea, I'm going to take my fiancΓ©e over there for a wedding too!"
"Do you all have girlfriends? Then I'm going to check it out, and maybe I've met the person I'm destined for. β
ββ¦β¦β
While everyone in the tavern was discussing hotly, several figures flashed out of the back door.
The person who was still drunk just now couldn't see the slightest drunkenness on his face at the moment, and said proudly: "How was my performance just now?" β
"Great! There was nothing wrong with it at all. β
"That is, Lord Viscount seems to be going to build an opera house or something in the future, and I feel that I can apply for a job as an actor."
"Let's go, there's other tasks."
"Let's go, the next one is to sell information, right?"
"That's right, let's go change first."
β¦β¦
At the gates of another large city, a long procession of carriages with the banner of Viscount Griffin was stopped.
The soldier defending the city skillfully stretched out his hand and said, "Entrance fee, five gold coins!" β
The leader of the team immediately trotted over and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know the rules." β
The soldier guarding the city glanced at the person in charge, and when he saw that he didn't mean to take out the money bag, he asked, "Do you want to give the money quickly?" β
"Do I have more valuable than five gold coins that I can use to offset the cost of entering the city?"
The soldier defending the city hesitated for a moment, the entrance fee of five gold coins was not something he could decide, so he called his captain over.
"Tell me, what's the news?" The captain asked in a strong voice.
The team leader cleared his throat, "Do you know about mermaids?" β
The captain's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he looked over with some surprise, it was the story he only learned about the two mermaid tickets he bought for himself and the ambiguous object after digging out his family's funds, how could he not remember it deeply.
"Of course I do."
"I have information about the mermaid's location......" the person in charge whispered, "you come here, I'll tell you." β
The captain leaned his ear to listen to the news from the other party, his eyes flickered for a moment, and after listening, he waved his hand, "You can go in." β
Then he shouted to the soldiers who were guarding the city, "You continue to guard here, I have something important to report to your lord!" β
