Chapter Twenty-Six: A Mighty Force That Makes No Sense
At this point, Mogan pauses the narrative once again.
There was a quarrel on the other side, which was more eye-catching than his narration of historical materials here.
The reason is that someone has raised a question on the sidelines, about "why do mermaids lose their emotions".
"Don't you know!?"
As the culprit of almost all disputes, as soon as the aura and air pressure on the merman Austin's side are low, it means that bad things are coming. He took a sip of fresh water that he didn't know who helped hand him next to him, and wrinkled his eyebrows impatiently, his eyes full of coldness.
"Ordinary people are okay to say. How many spells have you learned, but you don't know the cost of magic? I thought that hypocrisy and hypocrisy were already your bottom line...... Oh, if so, even I will bring justice to your children and grandchildren. ”
Even if he "kills" one by one, he still knows how to emphasize "justice"!
This very contradictory and extraordinarily unified situation is more "mermanial". It's really worthy of being a merman who has entered the Blue Eagle Pirate Regiment, but I don't know what kind of ability he has besides rage......
Mogan didn't question it, but really wanted to know.
The dragon bloodline is very convenient, and the principle is similar to that of ordinary beasts, and he also has the intuition to be able to judge the strong.
"Isn't that something that only exists for Terran mages?" The only young mage in the Mage Guild cringed, "I also know, anyway, I have brothers and sisters, and my family has explained the past." I don't plan to pass on the lineage. ”
This was the youngest of the Mage Guild, a dozen years younger than the second-to-last one. A clear age-wise watershed also proves that these people are not ignorant of the costs, but at least have a reasonable proportion of the number of people among the general population.
Hearing the explanation, Austin's face improved a little.
"The cost of magic is not a problem unique to the Terrans. Mermaid with emotional ...... Perhaps the original talent of the Kuran tribe was exchanged for the talent of mastering the weather, calling the wind and rain, and hypnotizing and confusing. Compared to the weather magic or charm magic studied by the Terrans, the racial talent cost is smaller, the lower and upper limits are higher, and they are born with it. The ability to even refuse. ”
Compared to the beauty that is easy to pass away or visual fatigue, the mermaid can survive to this day because of the ability contained in singing.
"Hey, that ...... over there"
Austin was dumb halfway through, and didn't seem to know what to call a person, while Mogan judged that the person was himself by his sight.
"Mogan Grande, I'm a businessman."
Mogan did not deliberately hide his name, and his real name, which he used when he purchased the land, did not intend to hide his identity.
Mainly in the plan, his subtle and detached reputation is also an important part, and it will not cause additional trouble when it should be taken out, and blindly suppressing information and concealing his identity will only make people suspect that he has bad intentions.
No, it should be "discovered" that he had bad intentions.
"You probably read books or listen to these things, and your Terran record is pretty good. But from the beginning of the appearance of the merman tribe, there may be a little deviation, which is more appropriate for me. Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to do extra corrections. ”
Austin leaned against the table, his arms stretched out to the side, and stretched out on the table.
Although Mogan, who was not far away, finally "retired" and rested to watch the play, it was difficult to notice that the quality of this merman might need to be improved, and the simple action took up most of the table, squeezing Lucifer aside.
- That is, His Majesty the King has a good temper, but it is not a matter to go on like this, and perhaps he will have to find a way to get people out.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the king's magic is too strong, and he deceived such a big person next to him.
If this is the case, you can't blindly blame the quality of the merman.
"I know what you're thinking. What sharks are cruel by nature and love to kill, sharks were originally weapons made by the Kuran tribe, naturally it is impossible to pretentious, but there are similarities and differences in personality, and now, not all sharks are the same as me. ”
He seems to have a clear sense of himself.
The merfolk are the first species transformed by the Terran mages, while the mermaids are the warriors transformed by the Kuran tribe.
The shackles of language barriers make the tragedy more and more intense, and the contradictions gradually become irreconcilable.
After the first deceased appeared, the second and third followed, and a different kind of mood spread among the Kuran tribe:
The Kurans could understand Ariel's ultimate revelation of the crisis, but emotionally, they couldn't accept that their people were dying in such a senseless way, and that the people who killed them even treated them as thoughtless animals, disposing of their bodies aside.
No matter what the reason is, what kind of misunderstanding, it is their relatives and friends who die unjustly.
The misunderstanding could not be clarified, but the hatred intensified.
After briefly capturing a Terran who had fallen into the sea, the research team's research on body transformation progressed faster than in language research that they had never set foot in before.
The situation has developed to such an extent that the captured Terrans are released only because people cannot survive in the water, and they are vainly imprisoned for a long time. The Kuran gathered the magical power of all the mages of the clan to bring the material into the deep sea, creating a safe field suitable for observation, and when they were unable to support it, they released the person back to the surface of the sea, allowing him to swim back to the shore and observe the way his legs assisted swimming.
By looking at the only captured material, the team was also given a knack for using their limbs.
The conclusion suggests that fighting on land is more suitable for the Terran form to exert its own agility and strength.
Based on this conclusion, they synthesized the organ traits of sea creatures, retained the fangs and tail fins needed for combat or escaping from the sea, and completely simulated the legs of humans, the first batch of mermaids.
After gathering the strongest mages and warriors in the clan, the mermaid opened his legs and went ashore from the shallow sea to explore the foothold.
Eager to save their companions, they have not fully learned human language, and only bring one or two companions who have learned simple words, but they have basically taken on human form, can blend in with the crowd, and cover up the characteristics of the xenomorph with some stolen clothing.
The rescue plan went smoothly at first, and the members of the Warrior Brigade, who possessed advanced intelligence and were accustomed to indiscriminate fighting under the sea, quickly adapted to the four-limbed approach and were able to solve almost any problem.
That is until they meet the first human mage - suffering an overwhelming fiasco.
The Kulan people, who have been constantly transforming themselves, know that although the Terrans lack the experience of direct combat to bite each other, magic is too mature. The smallest principalities have a lot of mages, and they simply can't compete with this kind of power.
The power gap between civilizations is desperately large due to the existence of magic. Seeing that the number of the Dead Clan has numbered in the hundreds, and that they have taken root in the Sea World, the Kuran who think they are powerful have nothing to do.
After being discovered and defeated, the rescue plan faltered. More people died, and even the strongest Kurlan tribe on land could not survive, and there were even Kurlan people who lived in the depths of the ocean current, who were actively hunted and brought into prison by unscrupulous human mages.
The Terrans are constantly killing their companions, but there is nothing they can do.
Because of this, another plan was born deep under the sea.
Fate is unpredictable, in order to leave the fire, a group of selected newborn sharks sealed themselves in the deep sea.
They do it entirely voluntarily. There are relatives of the victims who were originally the same as the kidnapped mermaid brothers, who were heartbroken but had nothing to do; There are strong warriors who are short-tempered, angry, and have no combat power but can't give full play.
Too much hatred is not conducive to reconciliation, and it is not the right way to trust the strange Terrans with the certainty that reconciliation can be reached.
Because of this, the Kurans sent these people to the deep sea.
This isolation is not only to avoid the harm of the Terrans, but also because in order to become stronger endlessly, the Kuran need to use the structures they used to abandon because of their doubts about safety.
The lack of stability will make them easy to lose control in the process of change, and even inadvertently hurt ordinary people as a result.
Although the environment is dangerous and bottomless, no one can interfere with the growth of the Kurans in the environment they have adapted to when they were born. And all the chosen ones are remembered as the hope and spark left behind by the entire race, and the endless hatred that pushes them to grow stronger, twisted bodies transform and reorganize, and magic and power continue to rise.
A month, a year, ten years.
For such a long time, not a single member of the clan tried to recall them, which seemed to support the worst of the earlier suspicions.
They survive, they get stronger, they pay the price, they multiply.
Only the reorganization of the most powerful magical talents and bloodlines can produce a powerful descendant capable of defeating the human archmage, a fact that the Avengers are convinced of by the fact that they have been mating and multiplying for so long.
- After a long baptism, the Kuran tribe, no, the merman tribe can finally cross the moat and defeat the human race.
The strength of the Ancient Shark Race is a bargain that sacrificed their lifespan in exchange for the talent of strength.
In the long-term transformation process, in order to gain more power, they not only exchanged the talents of the Kuran for the dual talents of magic and strength, but also reduced their lives from hundreds of years to decades, which is shorter than that of ordinary Terrans.
Rather than blindly increasing the warrior population, they need to improve in order to defeat the most powerful enemies. The best mages concentrate their efforts to magically forge the coffin of the ocean for each generation's most powerful warriors and mages, and put them to sleep in the hope of final revenge.
There is no doubt about the strength of the enemy, and the memory of the tragic death of the two hundred and twenty-three clansmen recorded before leaving is the best way to provoke the power of anger. Finally, the mighty and ready merman leaves the deep sea, ready for revenge.
At this moment, the millennium has passed.
But the scene in front of them is very different from what they imagined.
Under the bright sunshine that has never changed, the old people of the Kuran tribe have all turned into mermaids.
The innocent and beautiful Terran people meet the Avengers who have risen from the darkness, just as strange as when they first saw humans. They exclaimed that the legend that had been hidden thousands of years ago was true, and that there were races like themselves that inhabited caves deep under the sea.
Most of today's mermaids have no feelings, and naturally they have no obsession with revenge, forgetting the pain they suffered in the past.
With hatred in their blood, the mermaids arrive in a new world with new weapons, powers, and magic ready for the final showdown, only to find that the merfolk have reconciled with humans – and not just reconciled.
The mermaid is weaving songs for the Kraken who crosses the open sea, planning to assist the passage of merchant ships, and carry out mutually beneficial cooperation. The beautiful song that the mermaid did not know when it was obtained, it was a signal of people's word of mouth, a mesmerizing signal, and a powerful magical power.
After thousands of years of isolation and training, they came to save their companions, but their companions no longer needed this kind of salvation.
Time can baptize everything, but the merman people who have spent their lives in the cave have not received this gift.
They are a forsaken people, discarded pearls.
The merman looked around blankly, and all that was left was a meaningless power.
