Aurora Sea (2)
In the face of strong winds and waves, we can best see people's hearts. Although Homar is still underage and cannot transform into a mermaid, he can still stand strongly, but he is much more courageous than his aunt.
But courage is courage, and at this time he also knows very well in his heart that he will definitely die here today, with his father and aunt.
When this cold cognition spread to the bottom of my heart, the angry waves were already coming. The boundless wall of water smashed down with the great force of heaven and earth, and there was nowhere to avoid it.
Homar didn't close his eyes, he wanted to be like a real man, and hold on until the last moment.
But the wall of water didn't hit it. He and his aunt were lifted, and their bodies rose in the waves, without the slightest contact with the surrounding water waves and wind power.
His speed was fast, and Homar could see the wall of waves behind him getting farther and farther away from him.
The matter of flying, if it is changed to another race, there will be no suspense above the third order, which is not unusual.
But the merfolk are naturally in harmony with the water, but they are much weaker when they come out of the water.
It is because they have to reach the fourth order to levitate, and if they want to fly quickly and freely, they must reach at least the fifth order or above.
However, those with abilities above the fifth order are eligible to obtain the right of abode in Haixin City, how could they come to such a remote place?
At the very least, it was the first time he had seen such a powerful character since he was born.
As soon as he stepped on the ground of Black Rock Island, he didn't bother to thank him, and as soon as he turned over, he knelt down in front of the man, his eyes full of pleading: "Please, save my father!" ”
"Homar!" The aunt stepped forward and grabbed him by the shoulders and tried to pull him up: "Don't make a fuss. No one can save people in the sea of the heavy purple moon, so don't embarrass your benefactor. ”
Homar understood what she was saying, but still didn't want to give up that last shred of hope.
The terrifying thing about the heavy purple moon, he only saw a star and a half, but his father's voice and smile seemed to still be in front of him.
He prostrate forward, leaning down to kiss the man's feet, with an almost mad reverence: "Please. If you can't save my father, I'll never see him again. But he clearly promised me that he would grow up with me, teach me illusions, and have a coming-of-age ceremony."
Homar choked, his voice getting lower and lower, and gradually turning into sobs.
This boy, who grew up at sea, finally realized that the last thing he wanted to face was about to become a reality.
But what can it be, born as a mermaid in the Aurora Sea, even if it is just a child, it is used to seeing such a parting of life and death.
A voice rang out beside Homar: "Go and save people, uncle." ”
"Okay."
The benefactor in front of him disappeared in an instant, and someone helped Hormar up from the side.
As soon as he raised his head, he met a pair of extremely bright eyes.
A boy of about his height was looking at him with concern: "Don't worry. If your father is still alive, then he will be saved. ”
Homar was reassured. Only then did he see a boy standing on his left.
The boy was half a head taller than himself, and his gaze looked off into the distance, ignoring him.
But he remembered that the voice he had just heard came from this direction.
Therefore, it was actually this boy who looked a little indifferent to save people before.
As soon as Khomal wanted to thank him, he saw a number of people gathered around him, including his mother.
"Thank goodness you're back!" His mother held him tightly in her arms.
She had already known her husband's situation from those who had returned early, so she did not mention him at this time, but tears fell one by one, wetting Khommar's back.
"Mom, don't worry." Homar comforted her, "Someone has gone to save my father, he will be fine."
"Nonsense! In this weather, how can you go into the sea to save people again, isn't this to take another life in vain? The white-haired patriarch stood up and slammed his cane on the ground:
"There were eight people who didn't make it back to the island tonight. Their relatives are here, and they are all waiting for a miracle to happen. But this does not mean that we have to put others at risk because of our own selfishness. ”
"The person who saved you just now, before you can solemnly thank you, you have to beg people to go to the sea again, and you never thought that the other party might be in danger because of this, or even lose your life."
When the old clan said this, he shook his head heavily: "Homar, you really disappointed me!" ”
The old clan has always been kind and fair, and he loves the little mermaids who have not yet been transformed, so his accusation is extremely serious for Homar.
He uneasily broke free from his mother's arms and hung his head at the two boys: "I'm sorry. I just wanted to see my father so much. ”
"It doesn't matter." The tall boy's voice was clear and pleasant: "The man has been saved." ”
Before the words fell, the benefactor who had left earlier reappeared, and with a slight wave of his hand, five mermaids were arranged in a row on the ground.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." He smiled and said, "All the living are here." ”
Khormar's father was among them, and like the other merfolk, he was covered in scars and unconscious.
The injured were taken away for treatment, and the benefactor who saved the life and the two boys were welcomed into Black Rock Island, where they were warmly welcomed and entertained.
The merfolk on the island belong to the Hegra mermaid lineage and are very close to each other, so the news spreads very quickly.
Homar soon learns that it was Shu Lang, a fifth-order mermaid, who saved him and his father, and that the two boys were his nephews, named Roy and Poirot.
They came from the Baiqi Sea in the west, and were about to settle in Haixin City, passing through here and saving people.
The Heavy Purple Moon lasted for three full days, and everyone could only shrink to Black Rock Island. It was during this time that Homar became good friends with several of his friends and two boys.
The two new friends knew a lot of things, and a lot of what they said was something they didn't understand.
But it doesn't matter if they don't understand, they have never disliked them because of it.
Not only do they not dislike it, Roy and Poirot will also come up with some bizarre snacks and toys, such as chocolate birds that can fly around, lollipops that can open their mouths to bite people, and colorful gums that randomly turn into sea creatures when eaten.
As long as you answer their questions carefully, you can get a variety of rewards.
"So, at this age, you haven't been connected to the Imperial Star Network?" Poirot asked.
"Imperial Star Network?" Homar and his friends glanced at each other, and they were a little puzzled by each other:
"What's that? We have only heard of the Aurora Network, which can connect the entire Aurora Sea, but both the personal terminal and the Internet fee are too expensive, and few people in our entire Black Rock Island can afford to use it. ”
Poirot's brows furrowed more and more: "How come, the Imperial Star Network and the primary terminal are obviously free"
"Alright." Rhodes stopped her. He handed a small golden mesh bag to Homar: "This is a sonic trap that can attract and capture sea creatures below the third order. ”
"Thank you, Rod!" Homar took the net bag under the envious gaze of the others.
"Next question. Do you know why your parents and brothers took the initiative to choose mermaid form instead of solidifying into human form when they became adults? ”
