"Can anyone understand what these fish are saying?"
Looking at the poor mermaids below who kept chirping and chirping and wanted to get close to the ship but didn't dare, Sidrifa asked a little irritably.
"They are mermaids, not fish." Nora could see what Sidrifa was thinking at a glance, "Don't hunt them as whales."
"To be precise, it's a siren." Medea walked out of the cabin and said.
After her sudden appearance, everyone suddenly remembered that Medea had not been out for the past few days and was sitting in the alchemy room of Hearth Island Manor, tinkering with something.
"Siren?" Sheila has also heard of this name.
This kind of creature used to be abundant in the Aegean Sea. It liked to sit on the rocks and sing, inducing sailors from nearby ships to jump into the sea and drown. I also heard that the main material of "**ii" seemed to come from sirens.
However, with the rise of the Eastern Solomon Empire in the Fourth Age, the extraordinary creatures in the Aegean Sea, such as sirens, harpies, and minotaurs, were basically hunted to death, so Sheila had never seen these monsters.
"Okay." Sidrifa pulled her long white hair and said distressedly, "Can anyone understand what these, uh, sirens are saying?"
"I can." Medea said confidently.
"Do you know Siren?" Sheila asked in surprise.
"No." Medea smiled faintly, "I can only read minds."
Mind-reading, mind-reading Nora suddenly realized it.
As we all know, thoughts are not entirely made up of language. For example, when people think about bread, what comes to mind is probably not the word "bread", but some object in memory that represents bread.
For example, if someone loves to eat croissants, the first thing that comes to mind is the shape of the croissant; if someone loves to eat bagels, then the first thing that comes to mind is the bagels.
In other words, even if everyone in Cangqing Sword does not understand the mermaid pronunciation of "bread", as long as they read the thoughts of these mermaids, they can know the specific meaning of their chirping.
You can even learn a bit of mermaid language by the way, although it doesn't seem to make much sense.
So the two psychics began to read minds and translate them for everyone.
"Mighty land people," the mermaids chirped, "our family has surrendered to you, please don't kill us."
What a simple and unpretentious answer Asik thought, and said:
"Sooth them."
Nora and Medea then used group psychic suggestions, and soon these mermaids seemed to have received assurance, and their originally uneasy expressions gradually softened.
After roughly communicating with these mermaids, everyone found out that they live in the waters near the Azores Islands and have probably lived here for thousands of years.
As for why they stopped the Cang Qing Sword's ship, it was because they had offended the heirs of the Poseidon.
"Poseidon" girls are confused, when did we offend Poseidon?
However, Nora quickly got the answer from the mermaid's thoughts: the children of Poseidon are the offspring of Leviathan and a giant whale. They are similar in size to a slightly larger whale, but possess Leviathan's unique powerful vitality.
Because the Cangqing Sword and others had harmed the children of Poseidon in the nearby sea area, the mermaids were afraid that it would not be able to find these humans when it came back for revenge, and would vent its anger on them, so they forcibly tried to keep these humans.
Nora:
"Hidliba." She sighed helplessly, "We are in big trouble this time."
After explaining the matter to everyone in this way, everyone else was speechless. However, Hidrifa was still a little unconvinced and shouted:
"I said we should kill it in advance. It's okay now. It's going to bring Poseidon back to seek revenge on us."
"Why does this mean that it should be killed in advance?" Nora was almost overwhelmed by her logic. "In the end, you shouldn't shoot randomly into the sea with a whale gun."
"That's because I made a bet with the group leader." Hidrifa defended, "I must find the whale and show it to him."
Ask:
"Captain." Nora showed a helpless expression, "It doesn't matter that Hildrifa is ignorant, why are you following her around?"
"This" Asik wanted to defend, but the defense was tantamount to shifting all the responsibility to Hildafa, so he changed his mind and changed the subject with a smile:
"It is useless to find out who is responsible now. The top priority is to go to the island as soon as possible and hide the ship."
"Go to the island" The girls were a little confused. Didn't you just say you wanted to go around? Why did you suddenly change it to go to the island and hide the boat?
"Of course it's because we learned about the existence of Leviathan." Seeing everyone's confusion, Ask explained, "Have you almost forgotten about the demonic tide?"
When he said this, the girls suddenly remembered that the last demon wave was in Solomon City in June last year, and unknowingly a year had passed.
For the current demon tide with a level limit of v20, most girls actually feel nothing. Only Peggy and Ask, who have been promoted to v20 and become demigods, immediately feel the oppression of spirituality by the surrounding environment.
Considering that the higher the demigod level, the higher the probability of being corroded and losing sanity, this level cap is actually a good thing. But as time goes by, this oppression is gradually loosening. Obviously, the next round of v25 demon tide
Coming soon.
Every time the demonic tide comes, it is often accompanied by the riots of extraordinary monsters and the emergence of a large number of mutations. 5 liters 10, the city of Olympia was besieged; everyone hid in the Weisbach Palace in Bavaria, but was not affected;
The mutation in the ectoplasm tree almost destroyed the city of Solomon.
This time, Cangqing Sword will most likely spend time at sea. If the so-called son of Poseidon takes the opportunity to bring back a large number of extraordinary marine creatures for revenge, and directly sinks the ship with a tsunami, then everyone will probably have no choice but to hide in despair.
Hearthfire Island, let Peggy, who is a demigod, fly back to the mainland with the ancient book.
Thinking about it this way, it would be safer and safer to hide on the island and wait for the demonic tide to come, and then deal with the Poseidon's descendant if it really comes back for revenge.
So Nora and Medea communicated with the mermaids, using half-baked mermaid language and spiritual hints, roughly explaining that they "planned to stay on the island for a while", which immediately made the mermaids overjoyed.
They have realized that their own clan is no match for these people, so if the other party forces them to leave, the mermaids cannot force them to stay. They may have to bear the wrath of the descendants of Poseidon in the future.
It's okay now. The other party plans to stay near the island. If the children of Poseidon come to find them, they will only need to drill down to the deep seabed and wait for the winner to be decided above.
If these people die, after the Poseidon's descendants calm down, they will naturally not embarrass these mermaids; wouldn't it be better if the Poseidon's descendants die? In short, the mermaid family will definitely not lose.
Therefore, these mermaids, whose upper bodies looked like humans and whose lower bodies had fish tails, immediately showed flattering smiles and diligently guided the Cang Qing Sword people's ships to the island port.
