Chapter 6: First Acquaintance with You
Condell woke up and rubbed his forehead.
I was dreaming just now, but are dreams so realistic?
The first image he could see was a girl with a stunning face. The long hair flutters like a flowing spring and a waterfall, a pair of eyes are as clear and distant as a calm lake, Qiong's nose is clear, the jade mouth is exquisite, and the slightly smiling cheeks are like the beautiful lines washed by the stream.
"You're awake!" the girl smiled sweetly at Condell.
Condell's face to such a stunning beautiful girl actually caused ripples in the calm lake of his heart, and he would never believe that there was a feeling in this world called love at first sight until he met her.
At this time, he couldn't tell whether he had just woken up in his sleep or had just fallen asleep while awake, and his inner world was suddenly filled with smoke.
In the trance of indistinguishable dream or reality, he simply didn't delve into it, recalling the arrogant, cold, loving and selfless figure in the dream, and blurted out a sentence of "mother".
"Am I that old?" said the girl with a playful smile, "though I am over a hundred years old, I am still a minor among my people? "The two incompatible character traits of gentleness and cheerfulness are miraculously and perfectly combined in the girl's body.
Condell was instantly electrocuted by the thunderous man's words, and his sleepy eyes were completely open. It didn't matter what he saw, he saw an unbelievable scene: the upper half of the girl's clothes were defenseless, and her chest was covered with all kinds of pearls, gems, shells and other ornaments arranged very closely, covering the key parts. The slender jade fingers hold a pearl cane as big as a full fist, and the waist is slender like a poplar branch and willow trunk swaying in the wind. Moving her gaze downward, the lower half of the girl's body was actually fishtail-shaped, and the fine scales faintly glowed with a faint golden-blue luster.
Condell was shocked, he was sure that he was in reality at this time, because he had already remembered how he had entered the dream.
It was this seemingly harmless beautiful girl who sang to the moon when the night was approaching, and the strange spiritual magic contained in the song hypnotized him without the will to resist.
Maybe he shouldn't be called a maiden anymore, but he doesn't know if he should be called "one" or "one" mermaid.
"Say, why hypnotize me?" said Kandell's attitude, which took a sudden turn.
"Why are you so fierce to others? What I induce when singing to the moon is the power of the moon, and the power of the moon has its own hypnotic properties, and it is not something I intentionally control!"
Condell was skeptical, and continued to be vigilant.
"If I wanted to harm you, by the time you entered the dream, you would have died a hundred lives."
Hearing this, Condell also felt very reasonable. The attitude became a little softened: "I fell into the water after a fierce battle with Yin Zhishuang, the leader of the dragon, did you come up with me?"
The mermaid girl didn't say anything, and nodded calmly, as if the great grace that saved a person's life was a trivial matter that was taken for granted.
Condell has been on the verge of crisis and death since he was a child, and has been in contact with characters with various personalities, so he can be regarded as experienced in knowing people. Intuitively, he was almost certain that this little mermaid girl who claimed to be more than a hundred years old was very simple and kind-hearted, and had no hostility towards him.
"Hello, beautiful and kind Miss Mermaid, thank you for saving your life, frankly, I have nothing to repay you now, but, as long as there is a place that can help you in the future, I swear in the honor of a knight that I will go to the soup and fire, my name is Condell Jones, and I am from the continent of Barrow. Condell's words were sonorous and firm, and he even added his surname when he signed his own name, which was extremely solemn in the customs of the Barrow continent.
"I know all about it, and I also know that you are from the Night Knight Mercenary Regiment, your father is the leader, and your mother was forced to commit suicide to protect you. ”
"What else do you know?" Condell couldn't help but be wary again, because this information was only known to the merfolk who had only one side to him should know!
"I also know that your mercenary group was originally called Star Wolf Fang, based on your father's mount......"
"How do you know?" Condell's gaze turned to coldness and his tone changed from questioning to questioning. In such a short period of contact with her, I have been shocked by her mystery many times.
"Because I hypnotized you when you entered the dream! I didn't mean to snoop on your privacy, your mind was too heavy, and the scene in the dream was injected into my mind like waves, and I was also curious...... This is also the first time I hypnotize a human being, and I didn't expect your thoughts to be so complicated. The mermaid girl said a little shyly.
Seeing her beautiful appearance, Condell couldn't bear to blame any more, and was relieved after listening to this barely reasonable explanation, and sighed lightly: "The world in the sea is not very complicated! The higher demonic beasts have wisdom no less than that of humans, natural selection, survival of the fittest, and you also said that in your world you are still underage, and the mermaid race is famous for its pure nature, so you can't fully understand the cruelty of this world." ”
"Why are there so many strife and fighting, is it not good for everyone to live in peace?" asked the mermaid with her smart eyes open and innocent.
Condell let out a long sigh and whispered to himself, "yes, isn't it good to live in peace?"
"Hey, what are you muttering?" said the little mermaid when he saw that he was stunned.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking about your question, if there is an explanation, maybe it can be explained in two words - profit! greed!" said Condell in a serious manner.
She nodded as if she didn't understand: "I still don't understand, forget it, let's understand it slowly in the future, don't care about it for now, by the way, I haven't told you our name yet, my name is Iterina, the daughter of the contemporary mermaid king, the princess of the mermaid clan, one hundred and twenty years old this year, and in five days it will be my coming-of-age ceremony." ”
Condell stood upright, gave her a standard chivalric salute, and then said, "Thank you again for saving your life, Princess Etrina, I have some things to ask you." ”
"Well, you ask!"
"What is this place?How long have I been in a coma now?Have you seen a fleet?Have they had an encounter with the dragon?" After making sure that the mermaid princess in front of him was friend or foe, Condell couldn't wait to express his greatest concern.
