Chapter 92: Legs
Lossid frowned, and sat up half-legged in discomfort, paying attention to his tail that was gradually beginning to change.
The outermost layer of the epidermis under the scales begins to tear, the glands stop secreting protective mucus, and the tail fin tears through the middle, as if a whole leg has been split by a knife blade.
Losheed's webbed claws retracted, and he grabbed the conch next to him and smashed it with his hand.
He let out another muffled grunt, and lifted his pained pale palm, the translucent webbed between his fingers retracting, morphing into a palm closer to that of a human.
The merfolk in the water stared intently at his changes.
The transformation process was long, and when the sunset sank, the giant tail cracked to the maximum, and slowly grew into two things covered with scales, barely called legs.
Unable to sit up, Loheed fell on his stomach in the sand, and the veins in his neck burst out to a strange blue, like a map with a complex route unfolded and engraved on his body.
The process of splitting the tail is painful, the scales retract into the dermis, revealing the surface close to human skin, the soles of the feet are gradually revealed, and the slender and straight humanoid 'legs' are getting closer to perfection.
Such a metamorphosis is undoubtedly a torture for the mermaids underwater.
A few hours later.
Under the whispers of concern from the group, Lohid slowly lifted the body part called the knee, and the body was in a kneeling position, and the specially colored blood vessels on the skin slowly disappeared.
He hung his head, his long silver hair covered his entire body, and his legs were still trembling unconsciously, but it was undeniable that it had degenerated perfectly, full of muscles, white and well-proportioned.
It's Serra's definitely not disappointed legs.
Because it's even better than hers.
Lochide thought so, his pale lips curling weakly.
He slowly learned to hold the ground with the unfamiliar soles of his feet, holding his knees little by little, and standing up like a newborn baby learning to walk, stumbling a few steps and falling down.
Until he learned to walk, he said to the mermaid behind him in a dry voice; "I need a full ship full of jewels and gold coins."
The mermaid was ordered to flick its tail and go to the bottom of the sea to salvage shipwreck treasures that filled the entire sea.
Two merfolk looked at each other and plunged into the sea to swim farther away.
They won't let the leader go ashore alone again, he needs a human helper.
...
Serra, who had drunk and had a rare good night's sleep, had no dreams, did not run into Losheed, and slept until six o'clock in the morning, when she was woken up by the knock of the servant's door.
"Miss Serra, Mrs. Josie has asked me to remind you that you are going to visit Mr. David today, and that you are getting up."
Serra rolled over in the quilt, the curtains hadn't been drawn last night, and the early morning sun had reached the foot of her bed, and she squinted against the pillow and snorted lazily.
I didn't drink too much yesterday, and my head didn't hurt with a buzz.
After dressing up and eating breakfast, Serra, who got into the car, began to think about why she hadn't dreamed of Losheed last night.
According to the urine sex he likes to stick to her, he shouldn't have shown up.
I don't know how far the injury has been repaired, and it should be healed quickly at that speed.
You should be able to see him in his pants soon, right?
She looked out the window with a little anticipation, as if she had been expecting him to have legs.
Annahi stared at Serra, who was still distracted by the ruddy face, and couldn't help but sneer, "You slept well last night, didn't you?" The bed I got for you is big enough for two people. ”
Listening to what she said, Serra replied without being salty, "It's still too crowded, you should prepare a bed for me that four people can sleep in together." ”
"You!" Annahi almost didn't come up in one breath, and the cool weather in the morning made her pull open the lace bone fan and slap it a few times, "You don't know shame at all!" ”
"Didn't you ask first?" Serra laughed and said, "I'm just answering you truthfully." ”
Annahi tilted her head and snorted heavily.
Seeing that she was so angry early in the morning, Serra thought for a moment and asked bluntly, "Did you see Eric yesterday?"
What responded to her was a big white eye, and the matter spoke for itself, no wonder she was so angry.
Sierra smiled and bent her eyes and looked at Joey in the driver's seat in front of her, "Is your face better?" Joey. ”
Joey, who had one swollen eye and was still blue-purple, reluctantly looked at her in the rearview mirror and replied, "Do you look like I look better?" I woke up this morning and was startled by my eyes. ”
Serra snorted, "What did the police say?" Did you catch the guy who hit you? ”
"Nope." Joey sighed, "Didn't catch it." ”
He could guess who it was if he didn't catch anyone, and when the man beat him, he warned him not to spread some more gossip, and he didn't tell the police about it, he was afraid that Grandpa Lizzy would know that he had been gossiping after drinking and ruining the reputation of the two young ladies, and he would not only lose this well-paying job, but also face punishment.
It was almost 9 o'clock when we arrived at David's house.
As Wally's rather wealthy mine owner, many rich and noble people would come to sell face, especially when their son Nelson returned from a victory.
They didn't live in a large estate, but ten three-storey bungalows connected in parallel, away from the town, with a small back garden at the foot of the Black Forest, just a small hill away.
In front of outsiders, Annahi and Serra pretend to be sisters, and they are led side by side by servants into the garden, where there is a violin band, and laughter continues.
"Miss Annahi, didn't Master Lizzie come today?" David skimmed over the grimacing Serra and greeted Annahi first.
Annahi smiled and said, "My father is going to the hospital today to visit the injured marine expert and ask about something. ”
"Ah, I know, the Kraken you bought from the Freak Show was lost, and you still haven't found a clue."
Annahi glanced at Serra next to her, "Heavy losses. ”
After a few words of condolence, David turned his attention to Serra, and Annahi immediately began to introduce the people around her as if she remembered, "My sister Serra is from Leicestershire. ”
"Yes, I've read the newspapers."
David was about to say a few polite words to Serra, when Nelson, with her curly brown wool hairstyle, suddenly inserted, and Annahi smiled and prepared to greet her friend, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, but the other party swept straight past her.
"Serra, see you again." Nelson stood beside Serra with a cordial expression, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen in a long time.
Sierra greeted politely.
Annahi's smile froze, and she said without smiling, "So you've seen each other a long time ago." ”
Nelson put her arm on Serra's shoulder, "I met her at the slave market, and I was wondering which little angel this was. ”
