Chapter 626: Fish-Man Island's Wedding, Troublesome Gunshots
Heracrosses was easy to communicate with, and after they had eaten and drunk, Bermel and Ajian inquired about the origin of their stone, and Heracrosse led them to the place where the stone was found.
Arceus didn't let them actively interfere and harm human life, but they wanted to eat those orange trees, and referring to the way humans behaved, they decided to "exchange".
It just so happened that they found this golden stone in the stream in the distant mountains, and in their memory, many humans liked this golden thing, so they ran to the orange grove with the stones.
Seeing that the humans liked it very much, and offered to exchange more delicious food for these useless stones, of course they would not refuse, and led the two of them over the mountains and mountains to find the stream.
With Ah Jian and Bermel successfully digging for sand gold here, the two of them were completely excited, judging from the current situation, the reserves here are definitely not small, not only them, but the entire village can take this opportunity to become rich.
But Bermel told Ah Jian to keep quiet, it wasn't that she wanted to take this place to herself, she alone couldn't find all the gold mines here.
It's that she knows what kind of virtue the navy around here is, and when she was in the navy, she had her own righteous coat, which was the clothing that a lieutenant had only begun to have.
Even the retirement allowance issued by the second lieutenant will not make her live so poorly, so where the allowance should go, the result is naturally needless to say.
If they know about the gold mines, the good thing will turn bad.
The two of them had been digging for gold for a day, intending to improve their lives first and then take a long-term view, but the children didn't know so much, and after Bermel took the lead in eating, they also joined the queue.
The two Herculos outside the door shook their heads, not understanding why the humans liked the useless stones so much.
Gold is far less important to them than oranges, and now they find that not only does the juice of the orange tree taste good, but their fruit also tastes good.
And these Heracrosses also have an idea, Arceus wants to find stones, humans like to dig stones, in case there are stones that Arceus needs in the stones they dig, it will make a lot of money.
The village of Cocoa Yaxi began its own industrial transformation, and the fish people who caused the disaster in the original timeline of Coco Yasi appeared at the wedding scene at this time.
Otohime followed the advice of Neptune and Jinping, and did not hold anything on purpose, but took her son and daughter to attend the wedding of Rushaka and Mandelfesch as a royal family.
The wedding took place at Calode Square in Geelong, the most commonly used venue on Fish-Man Island, where most public events take place.
As I said before, those who want to attend the wedding are welcome, and those who don't want to attend are okay.
Tiger who had left Onishima before had also returned here at this time, and he and Otohime almost represented most of the mer-people and merfolk rebirths, and they all came to the wedding as guests, so the other people naturally had nothing to say.
"Who was the last mermaid to marry a human? How many years ago was the ancient director, right? Xia Li, let me tell you, that guy must be a playboy behind his back, and he is not suitable for you."
Ah Long kept chattering about something on the side, but Xia Li chose to ignore Ah Long the whole time.
"Boss Tiger, you have time to take care of this guy, his brain may be broken."
Charlie helps Tiger get a glass of wine, and at the same time hopes that Tiger can turn Aaron into a normal person, after all, Aaron will only listen to his advice.
"I think he's drunk too much, but he doesn't seem to have a problem with what he says, it's the first time I've seen a merfolk married to a human."
"No, Boss Tiger, Sister Kekoro is also married to a human, but that human doesn't live on Fish-Man Island, but in the capital of the Seven Waters, and my brother told me about it."
Another male mermaid took over the conversation, his name was Dan, Tom the Fish-Man's younger brother, a shipwright on Fish-Man Island and a researcher at the Sea Forest, and he had a good relationship with Haku, and had met Mandelfesh a few times, so he had a good time.
"Your brother is...
Tom, right? How is he doing now?"
"There's not much news lately, so it should be pretty good."
After a few small talks, their eyes returned to the center of the square, and Otohime really didn't plan anything else, but he did the others a lot of help, such as the sea kings flying up with bubbles and waving flower petals.
In addition to the fish people and the fish people, some of them were Mendelfesch's subordinates, some of them were employees of the mining branch, and although the underwater work was all fish people, the people who were responsible for the handover on land were all humans.
Looking at the venue below, Otohime felt very happy, this is just an example, but it is a small step in the disappearance of racial barriers.
In addition to those who were willing to attend the ceremony, there were also many people watching the excitement in the distance, these were the largest group on Fish-Man Island, the neutrals, who had a complex perception of humans, and were neither so hostile nor willing to easily touch each other.
"Otohime, it's almost time, it's time to take the oath."
"Well, I'll go now."
Neptune is the king of the Ryugu Kingdom, but his reputation may not be as good as that of Otohime, at least among the people, Otohime's reputation is much greater than his, so Otohime served as a witness to this wedding, and also found a pair of priceless rings from the treasury of the Ryugu Kingdom.
Everything is developing in a beautiful direction, but some people have begun to gnash their teeth when they look at the picture at this time.
As the royal family of Fish-Man Island, doing such a stupid thing is extremely stupid in Hodi's opinion.
He hated humans and hated Otohime, who was close to humans, and this wedding seemed to him to be an opportunity, so many participants and onlookers, as long as he killed Otohime in front of everyone, and then found a way to blame the murderer on the humans here, his goal would be achieved.
Otohime, who is close to humans, will die because of this, and Otohime's death will also provoke the anger of Fish-Man Island, as long as this is the case, then Fish-Man Island will not be able to accept humans, and he can further promote the idea of hatred.
If possible, it is better to set up chaos so that he can kill more people, and he stole something while the Dragon Palace Kingdom was preparing gifts before, which is also the basis for his actions.
At this time, Otohime had already begun to read out the emcee's lines, and the salute around him was ready, while everyone's attention was on the stage, Hodi in the distance took out a gun and aimed it at Otohime, and he wanted to take advantage of the moment the salute sounded to shoot.
"Bump!"
The salute rang out at the same time as the gunshots, but what he had expected didn't happen, and Mandelfesch was holding a smoking bullet in front of him with one hand.
