Chapter Twenty-Four: The Tears of the Merman

Herencia was serious when she said this, and her tone was completely devoid of her previous desire to get rid of them as soon as possible.

"But, I've heard that aren't elemental spirits very irritable?" Alan asked, "because they can't settle down." ”

"That's only part of the ...... There are no absolutes. "It's unstable and unfortunate to cling to things like fire, wind, etc., but it's much better than droplets and stones...... For example, the lake that gave birth to me is so calm all year round that I can settle down. ”

"Don't talk about these useless things, give us the Staff of Void. Cynthia interrupted her, "Since you're an elf, you already know what's going on on this continent, right? ”

"MONOCULUS...... The big guy came out again......" Helencia thought for herself, "this is the third time. ”

"Sure enough?" asked Allen, "you seem to have known it was going to run out in the morning?"

"I've heard a few conversations from the original Guardian Four about the MONOCULUS, like that it will come out and make waves one day......

"Have you seen them?" asked Alan again.

"Not only have I seen it, but I have also been entrusted by them to guard this lake and help the mermaids protect their last territory. Helenthia said.

"Wow, it seems that your friendship is quite deep, right?" Riel couldn't help but interject, "I just entrusted you to stay here for thousands of years!"

"You're really vulgar...... It has nothing to do with what kind of friendship you have. There is only admiration in the eyes of the elves, and what should or should not be. "Alvarona is so kind and sincere, I can't refuse his request...... And as long as it is what the elves promise, it will definitely be done. ”

"Sure enough, it's not magic that guards this lake, it's your spiritual power......" Alan glanced at Cynthia and said, "No wonder her vanity doesn't work." ”

"Speaking of which, this is the second time I've seen anything like this...... The last person to be able to make it was Sherlyn. Herencia said and looked at Cynthia again, "With this power, and with Heplus...... This little girl doesn't seem to be an idle person. ”

"Do you know this?" Cynthia pulled out her wand and gathered a red light at the top.

"This dazzling red...... Sure enough......" Helenthia was slightly taken aback, "I didn't expect that after such a long time, Xue Lin's bloodline was fortunately preserved...... This is providence. ”

"Well, you should know what the Staff of Void means to us. Cynthia said, "In order to destroy the MONOCULUS, we need it." ”

"But I don't have the right to touch it. The wand was something that the mermen didn't know where they got it, it belonged to them. "I guard the lake, and they guard it." ”

"Do you really have to kill them......" Seeing that it was a futile effort, Cynthia couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Strength, while important, does not solve everything. Helenthia stared at Cynthia and said, "At least, it won't change the status quo." ”

"What do you mean?" Alan didn't quite understand, "please be clearer." ”

"Why do you think they have been guarding this wand for so long?" asked Herencia, instead of answering, "an eternal faith, or a weapon in your hand?"

Alan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"It's their will...... "those two necromancers have been wandering here for years, and they've touched the wand past the merman's guards, but they've never been able to take it away......"

"Why?" asked Allen.

"Because, what seems to be like water that clings to the staff of the void, is the merman's tears......" said Herencia.

"Ah...... I seem to have read a similar legend in books...... "Alan suddenly enlightened," as if to say that the tears of mermaids are different from human beings, they are not easy to dissolve in water and are not easy to evaporate, and every drop is quite heavy, and it is easy to attach to the surface of objects, and no one can take it off except themselves. ”

"Yes, it's heavy...... "Hellensia nodded, "because that's what contains the deepest emotions in their hearts......"

"Contained...... Their emotions?"

"Sharks are very few creatures that have a high IQ and a lot of emotions...... They never weep because of pain, only when they are moved or when they want to express their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts. "And the tears that have been accumulating on that wand for so long have lost count......

"Is this wand so important to them?" asked Riel.

"Looks like you're going to have to study history. Herencia chuckled, "The mermaids were originally the overlords of the water, and often fought with humans who entered the water without permission, so after the monoculus was sealed, almost everyone suggested expelling or killing them, and it was the four guardians who managed to keep them alive...... You should get the idea, don't you?"

"I see...... They...... It's thanking and remembering......" Riel muttered quietly.

"That's right, remember. "Remember this forgiveness and kindness. ”

"As you say, isn't this wand useless anymore......" Cynthia couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she heard this, "Let's not say that they have been hiding in the lake and refusing to come out, and even if they do, we won't be able to take it with us......"

"Why, haven't you found the right answer yet?" Herencia looked at Cynthia with a smile on her face, "Sherin doesn't go down the same road as you do when she thinks about things." ”

"Ah......" Alan seemed to suddenly understand something when he heard this, and couldn't help muttering, "Is it to ......?"

"How?" Cynthia looked at Alan a little puzzled.

"It seems that you are not an ordinary person...... At least this idea is similar to Jill's. Helenthia smiled at Eren and nodded, indicating that his guess was correct.

"It's a request!" Alan said after a moment's hesitation, looking at Cynthia.

I saw that Cynthia wanted to stop talking after hearing this answer, and clenched her hands, as if some different emotions poured out in her heart, complex and contradictory.

To be strong and competitive, she has never begged others in her life, and this kind of thing has never happened to her......

And this first request was made to a merman who couldn't even understand human language.

Alan looked at her a little apprehensively, waiting for her answer.

However, after being silent for a long time, Cynthia took a deep breath and finally nodded: "That...... All right. ”

Alan was relieved when he heard her words.

"It's no longer about gaining power, it's no longer about fighting just for myself......" Cynthia seemed to figure it out, her expression returning to its former indifference, "but to eradicate evil...... and the ...... of tomorrow on this continent"
