It was late at night, and most of the crew on the Laurentian were already asleep, except for a few crew members who were still on duty. The sea coated in darkness was so calm, and the sea breeze under the night sky whistled by, and I don't know if it was a shadow blowing down from the sea or the sky.

The shadow fell silently on the deck, and quickly moved to the cabin of the cruise ship in the strong sea breeze on the deck.

The lights had also been turned off in the hallway of the cabin, and except for a few rooms where the lights were still on or whispering conversations, the rest of the people were sleeping deeply, and the shadow silently walked through the hallway, leaving a huge crab figure on the wall behind them by the light of the emergency lights.

The figure looked curiously at the closed doors of the guest rooms, as if to see the structure and scene of the rooms, but all the rooms had a thick gauze curtain hanging from the doors, and only the light inside could be faintly seen.

The cruise ship was slightly tilted because of the wind and waves, but the figure remained as immobile as a mountain, stopping in front of the door of a certain room.

The voice's body trembled, and it was trying to breathe, as if it had smelled something delicious.

That's the taste of pearls!

The shadow leaned against the door of the room where the lights had been turned off, and tried several times to see the precious pearl inside through the thick gauze curtain, but could not do so because of the superpower of clairvoyance.

In the next second, the handle of the door was unscrewed, revealing the dim emergency lights outside.

The shadow crept in silently through the crack in the door, and the first thing he could smell was the flower-like fragrance that filled the room, and the shadow covered his nose uncomfortably, for fear that the next moment he would sneeze and wake up the sleeping tenants.

Soon, the shadow saw the pearl that shone like the moon on the table.

It's a treasure!

A sparkling treasure!

It must be precious!

The shadow quietly stretched out her hand and held the small pearl in the palm of her hand, the cold pearl made her a little lovely, and wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to lift it up to see the color of the pearl, but when she lifted the pearl, what she saw in front of her was not the bright moonlight, but a Fisher who was as expressionless as a shadow.

"Woo-aaaaa It's a sea ghost!! ”

The figure let out an exclamation of strange language that Fisher couldn't understand, and its petite body fell to the ground in an instant, and the pearl in its hand rolled unsteadily down the floor and hit the wall.

And the moment the pearl touched the wall, the small figure rushed backwards, and the speed of escape in that moment was beyond Fisher's imagination, and in the blink of an eye the thing was about to reach the door. But Fisher didn't chase anymore, because the next moment, an illusory purple figure appeared at the door of the room, and easily controlled the figure.

"Woo woo woo let go of me!"

"Fisher, look, it's a subhuman!"

"Don't let her run."

The lights came on, and at this moment, Fisher, who was wearing a white shirt, saw Renee, who was wearing lace pajamas, holding a petite humanoid girl in her hand.

The humanoid creature was like a human child about seven or eight years old, but instead of a human-like back, her back was a complete crab-like carapace.

The child's clothes were very peculiar, as if they were woven from the leaves of some aquatic plant, without any silk thread, but they were extraordinarily beautiful and beautiful, making the child as lovely as a doll.

At this moment, she kept struggling in Renee's hands, but because of her petite stature, her limbs were hanging in the air, and she could only do useless work weakly. Fisher also noticed that she was still holding a leather bag in her left hand, and the bag was bulging with many things.

Yes, you heard it right, it's a leather pouch.

The left hand of the subhuman in front of him is a complete crab claw, but the right hand is like a human, and there is a webbed-like structure between the fingers of the round little hand, which makes Fisher, who has studied the subhumans for a long time, feel that the shape of the subhumans in front of him is very strange.

Renee smiled and flipped the child over, revealing the fierce and struggling pink-haired child in her arms, her face was a little baby fat, her body was wet, but it was not peeling at all, and it seemed that the structure of her skin was far from that of a human.

After seeing the expressionless Fisher, she puffed out her cheeks in a panic, and the next moment, countless bubbles came out of her mouth, as if they were Fisher in front of the murderer, asking him not to approach.

"Look, she's spitting bubbles."

"Be careful, that bubble can be poisonous."

But the non-threatening gesture made Renee laugh, and she poked the Asian in her arms in the face rather curiously, causing her to spit out more bubbles in a panic.

Renee didn't touch the bubbles she spit out, just kept poking her in the face. Renee always felt that her cheeks were more elastic than human skin, and they were soft and glutinous to pinch.

The subhuman walked without making a sound, and he didn't even make a sound when he opened the door, and if it weren't for Fisher's vigilance and adding a layer of vigilance magic to the door of the room, he wouldn't have noticed the subhuman entering.

"Let go of me, let go of me!"

The child muttered as she didn't know what she was saying, a language Fisher had never heard before, but soon, as if aware of something, held up the bag she was holding up the crab claw in her right hand and screamed wildly at Fisher.

"Is she going to use something in the bag?"

Faced with Renee's doubts, Fisher was silent for a moment, then turned around and closed the door behind him first, and then turned on the protective magic. The magic of protection protects from the inside out, and this guy can't get out no matter what.

"Alright, put her down and see what she's going to do."

After confirming that the child in front of him was not carrying any weapons or items other than a leather bag, Fisher asked Renee to put the guy down first.

The crab-like subhuman soon fell to the ground, and hurriedly opened the leather bag he was carrying, revealing many shiny items inside.

There were human objects, similar to brooches, necklaces, and rings, as well as other artifacts that Fisher had never seen before, and those things were beautifully made, not inferior to human creations, but the shapes were too strange to be appreciated by a human eye.

I saw that the child in front of me groped for a long time, and finally pulled out a small conch from the bag, the conch was quite heavy, and the crab man in front of him needed two hands to hold it, and after a closer look, it was filled with a blue viscous liquid, which was sealed by some invisible force and did not pour out.

She sucked the conch into her mouth, and the cold liquid gradually slid down her mouth and into it, just as Fisher thought she was preparing to attack or flee, and was about to pull out her cane and smash her head, the liquid slowly spread down her veins to her entire brain, and even her eyes glowed faintly fluorescent.

When she spoke again, her strange language seemed to have been replaced by some kind of magical power into a Nari language that Fisher and Renee could understand, similar to the Brain Demon Seed she had encountered in the Southern Continent, except that this time the person who needed to speak first took some kind of strange liquid.

"Bold humans! I'm Reina, the Emperor of the Sea! The [Royal] in the ocean, with the existence of [Endless Lifespan] and a huge [Companion Sea Beast]! With a wave of my hand, I can tell my companion sea beast to eat what you're riding, and if you know me, let me go... Give me that pearl again! ”

With her waist crossed, her childlike voice reaching Fisher and Renee's ears, she ignored the limitations of her petite body and seemed to have the momentum to look down on the world.

It was only the first time he saw the subhuman race in the ocean, and Fisher was attracted by several strange terms that popped out of the other party's mouth, and under contemplation, Fisher carefully looked at the petite pink-haired girl in front of him.

She is less than 1.4 meters tall, and her fair feet are covered by some kind of transparent cover, and she will not leave any footprints or water stains when standing on the ground, I don't know what it is made of.

Seeing that the other party was frightened by herself, the girl who called herself Ling Nai smiled and waved her hand, and said generously,

"Thinking that it is the first time you have seen my heroic appearance, I will reluctantly not plan with you, and next time pay attention to stay away from the nobles in the sea. Alright, I'm going to get ready to leave..."

As she spoke, she walked towards the pearl, but a mahogany cane suddenly stood in front of her, blocking her path and causing Reina's body to stiffen slightly.

Behind him, Fisher, who was as expressionless as a demon, spoke flatly,

"Do you think we'll be deceived by such a pale lie?"

"yes, yes, this human in front of me likes you the most like a cute Asian girl, and he will definitely eat you."

Renee pinched the increasingly pale face of the crab girl in front of her, and whispered in her ear as she saw the excitement.

The crab girl looked at Fisher's walking stick in front of her, which was getting closer and closer, and she didn't know what she thought, and she trembled with fright, and wanted to push away Renee, who had been pinching her face next to her, but she couldn't do it anyway.

She opened her mouth again, not knowing what she wanted to say, and her large, tender eyes glanced at Fisher, and bubbled feebly at him.

Fisher ignored her, but reached out and grabbed the leather bag she had clamped on, and raised the leather bag in her hand in the midst of her panicked screams, and opened it to see that the space inside was larger than Fisher had imagined, not only all kinds of manufactured crafts, but also shimmering pearls, shells, sea urchins, etc., and even Fisher found several fish that were jumping around.

"Give it back! Give it back! That's mine! ”

"Didn't you steal all these things? How did it become yours again? ”

Fisher ignored Reina, who jumped up and wanted to get her pouch back, he just suddenly thought that the theft of Arajina's ship might have been done by the ocean subhuman in front of him, and with her silent touch and fast escape speed, it seemed that not ordinary people really couldn't catch her.

The point is, no one would have thought that a thief would sneak in and steal in the middle of nowhere, right?

After hearing Fisher say the word "steal", Reina's face became embarrassed and shy, her little mouth pursed out, and she stammered a little,

"You... You're in the same league as the female human from before... She puts things on the wall, and if she takes them, she doesn't steal them..."

This kind of crooked reasoning obviously couldn't even convince herself, Fisher sat on the sofa next to her with her leather bag in her hand, the pearl he didn't really care about at all, he just suddenly became interested in this sudden appearance, he saw the sea subspecies for the first time.

The thirst for knowledge was at work in him, and his fingers were tapping on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only Renee, who is familiar with Fisher, knows that he is going to do something bad again, and now she is probably thinking about how to trick the Asian lady in front of her, and let him study it carefully.

"You want this bag?"

Reina nodded, tangled for a moment, and said,

"I don't want that pearl anymore! I'll give you back that human thing! You give me my bag..."

"No, the pearl will be given to you, and the leather bag will be returned to you... But in exchange, I'm going to have a basic understanding of you and hopefully we'll all be honest. ”

Unsure whether it was a threat or a deal, Reina glanced at the glittering pearl next to her, and then at the leather bag he was holding...

But that pearl is really beautiful.

A little greed and compromise made her completely fall into Fisher's trap.
