Chapter Twenty-Four: Not Nature's Extreme Beauty

Language is not a tool that can be learned overnight, and appearance is often a talent that cannot be changed for a lifetime.

For the Terrans, this is usually the case.

Although this was the first encounter between the Terrans and the Kurans, there was still something inappropriate in terms of fairness and justice.

The information that can be obtained directly is very different, and when a female Kuran sees all kinds of tools, ships, artificial tanks, and clothing of special materials, she immediately realizes that it is not a beast that has captured her, but another civilized race with intelligence; But when they were completely unable to communicate with each other, and had never seen such a strange existence at all, the fisherman naturally had no way to realize this fact.

He couldn't even tell the difference between magic and magic, but you know, this situation is anything but unusual.

The fisherman immediately reported the incident to the local inspector.

The news spread layer by layer, and a few days later, the female of the Kuran tribe, who had changed most of the time in the tank, was sent to the royal capital.

At that time, the ruling on the east side of the Iverson continent was not the current Danton Kingdom, but an unknown small country, with a land area of only the size of the current five or six Danton Kingdom cities, and the capital was also located near the inland river.

The Kuran felt that they were getting farther and farther away from home, and their hearts were naturally terrified.

However, her body was completely blinded in darkness, and she could not see any changes in the outside world, because the clairvoyance that accompanied her talent could only target living organisms, and she had no ability to penetrate new sinks and black curtains.

At the very least, she could faintly hear some strange voices.

Like a whisper, like a sigh - from this part onwards, the only source of information is the account heard from the mouth of the merfolk.

This female of the Kuran tribe is the original ancestor of the merfolk people, that is, the first Kuran tribe to transform into a merfolk.

She has a wonderful name that is widely known, and it is also synonymous with the mermaid princess for generations to come, a symbol of extreme beauty.

"Ariel".

Insisting on this, Mogan paused.

Because someone interrupted him.

"I casually imitated a few fishermen's girls, and then became the stunning beauty of the Star Dome Sea that has attracted countless tourists for hundreds of years, why don't I believe it so much? Little brother, you said so much, it shouldn't be making up nonsense and bluffing me, right? ”

The middle-aged man spoke again.

This time, he changed the fishing gear from his left hand to his right hand, and he was probably tired of holding it. Mogan was actually tired, not because of his dry mouth, but because of this unknown person who had just been temporarily deprived of his "repeat customer" qualification.

After all, although the remuneration is handsome, if this money is earned again, Rao is Mogan will have to shed his skin.

Although he knew that this person was now acting as a trust for himself, to make the lie he had integrated into it more reasonable, but Mo Gan felt that this expression was really owed, and it was really ruthless, and it really didn't fit the face of this middle-aged uncle who should be quite mature - these circumstances made Mo Gan more and more convinced that such a look was definitely not the true face of this person.

It is absolutely impossible for anyone to show their face and pretend to be a fool rich businessman who has money and nowhere to spend it.

At least this person won't be like this - not his own face, of course, he can throw it away.

"The appearance of the beauty of the mermaid, which is called a miracle, is a later thing, and it has not yet reached this point. Although she already has human characteristics, the story of Ariel, who is a Kuran, is far from over, and the mermaid has not really formed. Don't forget, apart from the half-man, half-fish, there is one most important difference - the Kurans can change shapes and structures, but the merfolk are not. ”

"In addition to those abilities, there is one more point."

Mogan was surprised. Because it was none other than Austin, the first mate of the Blue Eagle Pirate Regiment, who was sitting in the same place.

Not only did he not get angry again inexplicably, but he was even listening, and he took the initiative to pick up the stubble.

"Merfolk are a bunch of emotionless guys...... Maybe you can only see your face. It's no wonder, after all, the Terrans are so superficial. But in the eyes of us mermen, those guys with empty skins are really, really ridiculous. ”

Austin, who had rested for a long time, was now leaning lazily against the stone table. The many mages who had been vigilant and guarding people next to him didn't bother to care about him, so the mage chairman was staring at him alone, not daring to be careless.

From the beginning, this Austin was relentless in fighting against anything that could be an enemy, but fortunately now both Mogan and the others are used to this situation, but not so seriously, and can joke at will.

"Are you sleeping at home this time by the mermaid next door, so you want to slander people everywhere?"

"Like, I've heard the merfolk sing, just as the ship sailed by. That melodious singing voice is full of feelings! I remember a big octopus floating in the water, and the whole fish was stunned. If it weren't for our captain telling us to pinch ourselves all the time, and we could only listen a little with earplugs, I guess we would have been so beautiful on the spot......"

Austin's eyes swept sharply, pinpointing the person who confided in the crowd, and gave him a fierce look.

"That's a natural ability! Don't tell me that your captain didn't tell you, it's all about taking money to do things, who is investing in your feelings? ”

Take money to do things, this Mo is familiar.

After all, he is also doing things with money, and he is both down-to-earth and unsteady; It's both worry-free and worry-free.

The atmosphere is all set to this point, and it is really rude not to finish the matter.

"Ariel has mastered the ability to breathe on land, but knows almost nothing about the terrestrial world. It was too difficult to grow legs in this situation, and she hoped that she would find the water and escape by the fish's tail - in her concept, the continent moving on the plane might be a haven for another civilization, and the ocean that connected everything should be the main ......"

After a few days of tiring travel, perhaps to ensure that the unknown creature survived to the end, the humans in charge of the transportation often opened the black cloth to shine the sun on the human-like creature.

People often feel that creatures that don't get sunlight may be unhappy, perhaps because most of the plants in the agricultural era can only grow when they are exposed to sunlight, which is a long-standing habit. In fact, Ariel didn't need sunlight, because the Kurans originally inhabited the depths of the sea, and this light not only made her unable to adapt, but even had a burning discomfort on her skin.

Because of this, the egg has enough strength to give her last strength, and Ariel has completely transformed her skin into a human appearance, and the object of imitation this time is the scholar who was born in the national capital, with fine skin and tender flesh, and has been trying to observe her, compared to the seaside girl who grows on the beach.

After that, Ariel, who draws power from the ocean, is unable to actively transform.

It wasn't until she came to the capital that she was immediately sent to the king to check on the situation.

Of course, none of the specially assigned scholars have been able to study the signs, and His Majesty can only hunt for surprises and listen to them.

And at this time, an archmage from afar, who was said to be from another country, was at the king's side.

He saw through the truth at a glance and opened his mouthβ€”or rather, he told part of the truth.

"This is a sea creature with magical plastic abilities, and contains extremely strange and ancient magical powers. Your Majesty, if you don't mind my research and investigation on your behalf, I can help you mold her into whatever she wants. ”

The most surprising thing is that the retrospective and recording is cut off here, and it jumps directly to three years later.

Reading this breakpoint, Mogan also felt that the situation was a little delicate.

Because according to the previous trend, the appearance of the merfolk seems to be not the result of free transformation, but purely artificial, and humans with pen and paper are the best at writing the past, and word of mouth can also extend the story. Now that the mermaid has reached the mainland, someone should be able to keep the record in its entirety.

But that's not the case.

After looking through the classics and finding nothing, when the scholar asked the merfolk again for verification, the result was still confused.

- They say that the first Ariel did not have time to explain all the truth to them.

The merfolk have gained unparalleled beauty and the power of beautiful singing, so what reason can they lie?

So, could it be that someone has bad intentions and deliberately erased this history and concealed the really important parts?

All in all, in the records of the merman clan, the continuation time came directly to three years later.

Missing in the shallow ocean for three years, Ariel, a clansman who had annoyed her close cousins of the Kuran tribe, suddenly returned, but it was a different look.
