Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sirens

By noon the next day, they had crossed the northernmost snow-capped peak covered by the snow line and reached Switzerland.

Switzerland was now legally part of the Holy Roman Empire, but the Emperor's struggle with the Church led to the division of the German princes, and Switzerland was effectively controlled by the Zaringen family.

The altitude was still high, and Leon and his family walked along the snow-melted brook, and soon came to a lake that was as smooth as a mirror.

At the end of the mountain, the lake flows down the course of the gorge, where it will converge with its tributaries to form the Rhine, the second longest river in Western Europe.

The Alps are the source of many rivers, including the Danube, the Rhine, the Po and the RhΓ΄ne.

William squatted on the edge of the lake, ripped off his shirt, washed his face happily, and poured a few mouthfuls of cold water into his mouthful, making a refreshing sound: "Hmmβ€”this water is so sweet, if I know how to swim, I must jump in and take a swim." ”

This hairy Slav was extremely hardy, and even when climbing the towering snowy peaks, he still wore only a shoulder that showed off his bulging muscles, which looked extremely wild.

In comparison, Innelli is much more ladylike.

She gently wiped her arms and cheeks with a roll of linen, and taunted, "You'll be bitten off by the fish monsters in the lake." ”

Leon replied with great interest: "I have heard that the sirens of the North Sea swim up from the mouth of the Rhine every summer to lay eggs in the Alps, and now that I think about it, it should be this time. ”

Ineri asked, "What is a siren?"

Li Ang said: "It's a mermaid." ”

Inelle rolled her eyes and snorted, "Then why don't you just say it's a mermaid?"

"The sirens refer to a group of fish-tailed krakens that once inhabited the Strait of Messina, who are skilled in illusion, often able to transform themselves into beautiful women, seducing sailors to mate with them, and then breeding - in fact, their appearance may be quite ugly, after all, there are few fish living in the deep sea that look like a Peugeot, so the word 'beauty' for 'mermaids' is debatable. ”

"And I've seen a close relative of the mermaid, the Fish Man, and with this experience, I really can't imagine whether the mermaid is beautiful or not. ”

As he spoke, Leon suddenly noticed William's blank expression.

Inriri's mouth pursed, her eyes flickering, "It's really hard to talk to you cultured people, are you sure you weren't a philosopher but a knight's squire?"

"Now where are there philosophers, only theologians. ”

Leon said, sighing softly, "I often feel out of place with you both because of my erudition. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Inelli raised her foot and kicked her.

Puff –

Li Ang only felt a strong attack from the back of his waist, but he didn't stand firm under his feet, and fell directly into the lake.

However, Leon was like a big rock, and after sinking into the lake, it did not move at all.

Minutes and seconds passed.

William looked at Inriri.

Inelle looked at William again.

Both of them looked confused.

After a long time, William stammered: "Sister, there's no need to kill Leon because of a quarrel, right?"

β€œFK。 ”

Innelli cursed with a pale face, and without even taking off her clothes, she plunged directly into the lake and struggled downstream.

But she couldn't find Leon anymore.

She groped around, the lake water was obviously very clear, and she could even see fish swimming around, but she couldn't find Li Ang, who had just sunk into the lake not long ago.

It wasn't until she felt her lungs explode that Innelli rose quickly, gasping violently.

"Didn't find it?"

William said anxiously.

He couldn't swim, so he could only stand on the shore and stare dryly.

Innelly didn't have time to pay attention to his questioning, and after quickly completing her ventilation, she dived into the lake again to look for it.

At this time, Li Ang was being quickly dragged to the bottom of the lake by a shirtless woman.

She has a very beautiful appearance, with lake-blue eyes, the upper body is full of peaks and peaks, and the lower body is a huge fishtail.

As the fish's tail swings, the sound of violent water flow sounds.

Li Ang didn't resist, but wanted to see what the mermaid who "said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive" wanted to do.

Although the item for the "Piercing the Waves" spell is expensive, it is not much more difficult for Ms. Angelina to make than the lowest-level Cleansing Ring.

So Leon happened to have one such amulet on his body, and it was an advanced version of "Riding Through Waves" - "Underwater Breathing".

This makes Leon breathe freely like a fish in the water, but his combat power is still limited by at least fifty percent.

Soon they arrived at a cavern, which was unusually dry and breezy at the bottom of the lake.

The mermaid dragged Leon into the cave and crawled inside.

Kengβ€”β€”

The sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard sounded.

The sword of victory had already touched the back of the mermaid's head, and Li Ang held the sword in one hand and said coldly, "Why did you harm me, what are your intentions in bringing me here?"

The mermaid froze in place, she slowly turned around, her long wet hair hanging down to her chest, and said pitifully, "You are coming to prey on my people." ”

The accent was in no way inferior to William's Latin, and if it weren't for the facial expressions, Leon felt like he might not be able to guess what she was saying.

Li Ang laughed angrily: "I was just passing by, I didn't even know ...... you"

Li Ang was suddenly stunned, he just seemed to have said something by the lake that he guessed that there might be a mermaid below, and after saying that, he plunged into the lake, which was indeed easy to cause misunderstanding.

But that's too much of a coincidence, right?

The mermaid's eyes were filled with tears, and she pleaded, "Please just catch me, and spare my people, they have not offended you." ”

"If you don't tell me, I don't even know there are other merfolk here. ”

Li Ang sighed, feeling that this mermaid was really a little too stupid, and it seemed that he really didn't mean to kill people, so he planned to let her go.

So this is the age of looking at faces, and if an ugly fish-man kidnaps himself here, he may not even ask questions and just do it.

"I'm not here to hunt you down, I'm just passing by, I advise you to provoke less humans in the future, don't have any dealings with them, and I'll let you go this time. ”

After saying that, Leon jumped into the water and left.

The mermaid stared blankly at the wet water on the ground, and after a long time, she came to her senses, and then jumped into the water.

At this time, the exhausted Innelli resurfaced, and her lips were a little purple from the cold: "William, pull me, I can't do it." ”

"Good!"

William found a stick and handed it to her.

At this time, a pair of warm hands suddenly supported her from behind, and she looked back to see that it was Li Ang, who she had been looking for for a long time.

"Where the hell did you bastard?"

Back on shore, Innelli shivered and yelled.

Leon was a little ashamed to use the cleaning technique to remove the water stains on her body, and just now he only cared about the underwater adventure with the mermaid, and forgot about the two of them.

Li Ang briefly described the experience, and both of them were dumbfounded.

"There really is a mermaid!"

"Are mermaids pretty?"

Wow –

The sound of breaking water sounded.

William was stunned for a moment and said, "It's good-looking." ”

Innelli said disdainfully, "How do you know ......?"

Before the last word could be spoken, Inelli saw a beautiful woman with her head bared out on the smooth mirror-like water.

Beneath the clear water, fish tails covered in cyan scales glisten in the waves.

It's really beautiful!

The mermaid stretched out her hand and made an invitation: "Thank you...... Thank you for your forgiveness, and if you don't mind, I hope to have a child with you. ”

Leon didn't understand and asked, "What did you say?"

Innelly sneered: "This still needs to be asked, looking at it like that, it is obvious that she is complaining and wants to do it with you." ”

William showed an expression of high mountain admiration, and said with envy: "Brother, it's amazing!"
