587. Sacrificial Ceremony

The already extremely high favorability value has risen a lot.

Su Yu turned off the system prompt, so naturally she couldn't see it, but she didn't really say it just to brush up on her good feelings, which was also her true words.

She does regard Lua as a friend, mainly because there is such a little mermaid who treats her sincerely, and she is embarrassed to live up to her kindness.

"This one for Yuzu." Lua said as she pulled out a bracelet made of shark silk and wearing red beads.

After Su Yu took it, he put it on his hand directly, the length of this bracelet was just right, Su Yu would not tie his hands when he wore it, and it would not look cumbersome.

"What is this?" Su Yu didn't use the View Skill to see the information about this bracelet, but it could be seen from this obviously unusual appearance that it was not an ordinary bracelet.

"This is the mermaid clan's mermaid blood bead used to communicate and transmit sounds...... After Luya's explanation, Su Yu knew that this should be similar to the voice token that Anita gave her, which is equivalent to the mermaid clan's communication phone.

Just the name......

"Shark blood beads? Is it your blood? "It's normal for Su Yu to think like this, mainly because the name of this thing and its color are too easy to misunderstand.

But this is not a misunderstanding.

"Well, that's right, it's actually a bead of shark blood coagulated by Luya's blood...... But don't worry, each of our mermaids needs to go to the god of the sea to sacrifice with blood when they become adults, in order to protect them, and when the sacrifice is over, the blood is useless, and we can bring it back and refine it into a shark blood bead. ”

The reason why they need blood is to make the sea god remember him, and after the sacrifice is over, the blood will not disappear, and it will not be possible to keep it there forever, so they will take it back.

"The string in Yuzu's hand is the shark blood bead that I brought back at the end of the coming-of-age ceremony, blessed by the god of the sea." As if she was afraid that Su Yu would be worried, Luya explained quickly and urgently.

Su Yu nodded, slightly relieved......

She really thought that Lu Ya deliberately bleed in order to give her this thing, although she knew that this was a necessary process, and it might not be anything to Lu Ya, but it always gave Su Yu an inexplicable pressure.

…… However, after listening to Luya's second paragraph, Su Yu suddenly felt that the value of the string of shark blood beads in his hand did not seem to be much worse.

This is the shark blood bead that she was blessed by the god of the sea at her coming-of-age ceremony, and it is obviously of great significance.

Su Yu didn't have any good gifts here, but when he thought that this mermaid might still have many hidden dangers and secrets, Su Yu's best gift now was to help the merfolk solve these hidden crises and troubles.

Not only for herself, but also for Lua.

……

After the topic of shark blood beads passed, Su Yu proposed to have a good chat with Luya in a quiet and uninhabited place.

Lua was a little confused, but led her to her bedroom, and raised her hand to put a barrier against the outside world.

"Before you talk about this, Luya, you promise me that you will not leak this news easily." Su Yu's expression was very serious, which startled Luya, who thought she was just going to say some intimate things.

Yuzu said reassuringly. Luya had some uneasiness in her heart, because she always felt that what Su Yu was going to say was not her personal matter, but related to the mermaid clan.

"After Ning Shi and I entered the bottom of the sea, we were looking for Ah Lan at first, wanting it to take us to you, but we didn't find Ah Lan, and because we were not familiar with the path of the bottom of the sea, we stayed at the entrance of the whirlpool for a long time......"

"Actually, before Lua arrived, we had already seen another group of creatures...... If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Fishman. ”

At this point, Lua's expression has completely changed.

When she heard the word "Fishman", her face became extremely bad, and her face, which was always smiling, lost her emotions.

“…… Yuzu: Are you sure it's a fish-man? Lua's voice was filled with anger and an inaudible trill.

“…… I can't be sure, after all, I haven't seen fishmen, but they look exactly like the ones I wrote about in my books. "Actually, Su Yu can confirm that it is a fishman, because she has seen a fishman before, and she has also used her skills to investigate, so she is very sure.

It's just that she definitely can't say that, but she wants Lua to be sure that it's a fish-man, so she describes the physical characteristics of those fish-people.

"That's right......" Luya's mood suddenly became very angry, and the anger was mixed with a hint of sadness: "It's a fishman...... What the hell are they doing here?! ”

Luya's emotions made Su Yu feel a little strange, because the mermaid and the fishman have a conflict and are enemies, so after hearing the news of the fishman, Luya will be angry and angry, which is normal.

But why is this inexplicable sadness?

Although she was curious, now was not the time to study this, and the focus of what Su Yu wanted to say was not only the fish people, but also the content that she overheard during the conversation.

"I vaguely heard some conversations, probably about them seemingly performing some actions, and ......" Su Yu paused, then stared at Lua seriously, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, "I suspect that there are ghosts in your merfolk clan." ”

"......" Luya opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

First the appearance of the fish man, and then the news of the inner ghost, these two things are obviously not simple, and the impact on her is not small.

Su Yu was surprised to see her, but she was still listening carefully, so she gave her own guess based on what those fishmen said.

"This inner ghost is estimated to have been planted for a while, and they have said that this inner ghost has gained your trust, and they will cooperate with that inner ghost while you are busy with other things during this time, and do something to hurt the mermaid clan."

Su Yu knew too little about the merfolk affairs, and she didn't even know what else the merfolk had been busy with recently, so the only analysis she could give was this.

“…… In four days, it will be the sacrifice ceremony of our mermaid clan. Luya had already recovered from her complicated emotions at this time, and she slowly introduced the situation of the sacrifice ceremony to Su Yu.

"The sacrificial ceremony is held once every ten years, and the sacrifice is mainly dedicated to the god of the sea and asking for blessings...... I wish the merfolk will not be harmed in any way for the next ten years, and the surrounding sea will remain calm and harmonious, and will not be threatened by foreign races......"
