Chapter 21 Boys must learn to protect themselves
Duke Aegroval opened his eyes in a daze. He felt his body floating and sinking, and his eyes were hazy.
His whole body seemed to be wrapped in cold sea water. Suddenly he started to thrust violently, and a severe pain came from behind him, and it felt like something was stabbing into his butt from behind.
"Where am I?"
"Guard!" he opened his mouth and shouted loudly, but only bubbles floated out, and he was suddenly filled with a large mouthful of fishy and salty sea water.
Then two strange figures appeared in the blurred vision, speaking languages that the Duke did not understand.
Then greater pain came from behind.
"Is it thorn deeper?"
Only when this thought arose, the poor Duke completely lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, but when the Duke opened his eyes again, he found that everything around him became clear and identifiable.
"It turned out to be just a dream."
"I must set out immediately and never let those two people return to the port alive!"
He said to himself, but the next moment his movements froze suddenly because what he spit out was a language he had never heard of.
But it was strange that this strange tone seemed extremely suitable at this moment, and then he could see the scene around him clearly.
Coral seaweeds, and unknown sea fish swimming by their side.
As he moved his eyes down, he saw the slender fish tail from his waist.
"ah!"
"My legs!"
It turned out that the pain he felt before was not pierced, but something grew from under him.
He raised his hand in horror and held his chest.
The texture is soft and there is obvious fat. Fortunately, it did not turn into two pieces of imagined things.
But soon, the poor Duke discovered another thing sadly.
Only fish tails remained under him.
Where did the most important thing hide?
The fish tail swung, and he struggled to jump out of the water, but soon two black shadows came from behind, and he fainted before his eyes and lost consciousness again.
"Shiennaz said we should watch him, but we didn't expect that the potion would be so effective. Does this mean we can secretly catch some humans and transform them into what we look like?"
"It's useless. This transformation has natural defects. It is said that even if it turns into our appearance, they have completely lost their fertility."
“Fertility…fertility…”
Duke Aegrobar felt that the whole world was dark.
A long time later, a strange legend appeared near the Cape Blim Wunder.
Many people who fish or pick beads on the beach have said that occasionally when the sun sets, they will meet a strange mermaid far away from the coast.
Every time he appears, he is very abrupt. Although he will attack anyone, he always asks a question.
"Did you see my baby?"
"Did you see my baby?"
Especially for men, several strong fishermen were scratched by the monster's lower body several times.
It was as if his purpose was not to kill people but to seize important parts of these men.
Gradually, this incident was known to more and more people, and later people who lived by the sea told this story to their children.
Especially the boys at home.
At the end of the story, adults always tell their son earnestly, "Boys should learn to protect themselves outside, otherwise your baby will be stolen by monsters if you are not careful..."
As for the throne of the territory, it is much simpler.
Less than a year after the Duke disappeared, the still-charming Duke mother carried a boy.
It is claimed to be the posthumous son of Duke Aegroval. After all, this duke is famous for being romantic, and it doesn't seem strange to accidentally get a few girls' belly.
But what happened later became a little strange. The duke's son was not like himself. When he grew up, he was unexpectedly interested in poetry.
It is said that later he even planned to give up his succession title and instead wanted to become a famous bard.
Just like the one who is well-known to everyone.
Dandelion.
…………
Seeing all the big ships sinking, everyone was excited, but everyone treated the words Roger just said as a joke.
Being able to summon the sea beast dragon is amazing enough.
As for cutting a ship with one sword.
Even in the legend, no one dares to make up such a fool.
"What should I do now? I've been busy all day, but I didn't make a single coin." Dandrien said in a sigh.
"I always feel that it's really cheap to let that guy drown him." He said angrily, not knowing what idea he was thinking.
The sun deflects, and if they speed up, they should be able to return to the tavern before the sun sets.
"Are we going back?" asked the female poet.
"No, it's better to wait until dark, and there may be duke guards gathering near the dock." Geralt shook his head.
At this time, the mermaid's gaze at Roger had completely changed her attitude.
"Dear witch hunter, you have avoided a war. I thank you for those tribe members who do not need to shed blood. From now on, you will always be our distinguished guest."
After saying that, she took off a necklace between her neck, opened the shell at the top, and took out a dazzling blue pearl from it.
"This is the tear of the ocean, as a witness to our friendship, take it with you, as long as you travel on the sea, you will not be hit by storms."
"Goodbye, human friends."
The waves held her body down gradually, and she did not wink at Roger until the end, "Whenever I come here, I am willing to take medicine for you, change my legs, and be your bride for the day."
“I’m looking forward to this.”
The sea water turned into bubbles, and the mermaid disappeared without a trace.
Dandrien smacked his lips, then looked at Roger curiously, "There is something wrong with her last smile. I always feel that woman is seducing you."
"Don't be fooled by her. Her whole body is green. Maybe your body will be dyed after you get together."
"To be honest, you have a better choice." He glanced at Ashe intentionally or unintentionally.
"Shut up, Dandelion!"
The female poet's cheeks turned slightly red, and she glared at Dandrien fiercely.
"I'm doing it for your own good."
Dandrien muttered in a low voice, and soon he was excited.
"What a wonderful blue sky, my inspiration is as surging as the waves. After I go back, I will write a story between the witch hunter and the mermaid."
He thought for a moment.
"A mermaid took medicine for his lover, took off her tail and grew legs... But in the end she did not get the love she wanted, but chose a greater sacrifice..."
"She blessed her lover and watched him throw himself into the arms of a girl with a little eyes..."
"In the end she turned into a bubble and disappeared into the sea."
"It's so wonderful, I'm going to cry out loud!" Dandrien sang in a chanting voice.
"If you dare to mention a girl with small eyes, I will definitely kill you!" Ashe threatened fiercely.
Geralt muttered helplessly, "Who will listen to your nonsense?"
"What do you know?"
"I write songs not to be convincing, but to impress people. Why do I tell you this?"
"You don't know anything." Dandrien scoffed.
His mind quickly moved to another question.
"Then now, the great dragon master Roger."
