Chapter 74 The Mermaid King's Son

The Mermaid King walked up to the high platform, gently stroked the crystal wall with his hands, his eyes were full of sadness, and he could not speak for a long time.Xueyan also looked at the mermaid in the crystal wall, if it was a mermaid.To be honest, Xueyan thinks it looks more like a human being. The white robe worn by a human man covers its whole body, and it is impossible to see whether it is a fish tail or a leg underneath.And the style of the robe is very strange, it doesn't look like an oriental person's dress.

If it is a mermaid, why is it wearing human robes?All the mermaid men she had seen so far were naked, and she had never seen any wearing clothes.But if he is a human, why is he here?Moreover, his hair was the same aqua color as the Mermaid King. She had never seen any human NPC with hair color other than black.

"It's my son." While Xueyan was still guessing, the mermaid king finally spoke.

its son?That's a mermaid!But Xueyan stared at its lower half, looked and looked, but still didn't think it looked like a fish tail.

"Then what happened to it?" Xue Yan asked after thinking about it.

"It's dead!" The Mermaid King's voice was very sad.

died?That means it came to her to revive it!Just how long has it been dead?Can it be resurrected?Xueyan thought suspiciously.

"Our family originally lived in a lake in the far western continent. It was a primitive land far away from the world. We lived there and lived a quiet and peaceful life. Although our family can also leave the water, the time is limited, and at most we can It's half a day away from the water, so we rarely go ashore.

But my son has been interested in everything on land since he was a child. He has to stay on the shore for a period of time almost every day to enjoy the scenery on land.As time goes by, it becomes more and more nostalgic for everything on land, and every day it will stay until its body can't hold on, and then it will reluctantly return to the water.But even so, it never occurred to him to leave the water forever.Until one day something happened that completely changed its mind, making it crazy to want to stay on the ground almost at all costs. "Speaking of this, the mermaid king stopped, his expression seemed to be very regretful.

"What happened that day? Could it be that someone went there?" Xueyan asked speculatively, a mermaid who misses the land is similar to the mermaid who likes everything on the sea.

"You guessed it right." The Mermaid King was not surprised that Xueyan guessed the answer, but continued: "I have been regretting it for so many years. If I didn't let it go to the shore that day, even if it was a few days later. It wouldn't have happened if I went to the shore when I was young. And now I can't just look at it like this."

The mermaid king fell silent again, looking at its expression, it seemed to be lost in memory.Although Xueyan really wanted to know what happened, but it was not easy to interrupt it, so she could only patiently wait for it to wake up.

After waiting for a long time, the mermaid king finally came back to his senses with a sigh, looked at Xueyan and said: "That day, it came to the shore as usual, sat on the rocks on the shore, looked at the rising sun in the morning, and admired Seeing the scene of everything waking up. But it didn't take long to see it, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, as if something was walking towards it. It was very curious, so it didn't avoid it.

Not long after, a group of figures appeared in its sight.It has never seen humans before, so it was very surprised when it saw humans for the first time.For those whose upper body looks no different from it, the lower body can actually separate and alternately walk on the ground!It just looked at them so curiously, and those who also looked at it curiously.

Finally, it couldn't help but opened its mouth first, and asked what they were?Why has it never been seen before?Although those humans were surprised by its questioning, they still told it that they were humans and they came here to find something.It has often dealt with creatures on land since it was a child, and has never been harmed by them, so when it knew that they were human beings, it was only more curious about everything about them, and did not feel any fear.After going back and forth, it became acquainted with them.

In the conversation, it learned more about the things on the ground, and knew many things about human beings.Since then, it has become more and more yearning for life on the ground, and has become more curious and interested in human life.Those humans didn't know what to look for, so they settled down by the lake.As long as it has a chance, it will chat with them, ask some things about human beings, and answer some of their questions about this place.

Every day when it comes back from human beings, it will retell to me all the things about human beings, and when it tells me, there will always be a look of yearning in its eyes.But at that time, I didn't care about it, only when those humans left, it would return to normal.But I was wrong. The departure of those humans did not make it return to normal. Instead, it seemed to have lost its soul. It was either in a daze all day long or talking to itself alone.

Suddenly one day it told me that it wanted to become a human and wanted to see the human world, and asked me if there was any way to help it realize its wish.I was very shocked at the time and really didn't understand why it had such an idea.What's wrong with us mermaids?But why is it obsessed with that dry land?So I was very angry and told it that there was no way to make it give up its determination, and that I would not even allow it to go to the ground again.

But it's useless, it still often sneaks to the shore, and the time it stays on it is getting longer and longer.Once, it was unconscious on the shore because of staying too long. If the mermaid who went out to look for it didn't find it, it might have died there at that time.Later, it finally learned from nowhere that there is a way to become a human being, so it secretly prepared without telling me.

In the secret book of the mermaid family, it is indeed recorded a method to make mermaids lose their tails and turn them into legs.As long as you gather dozens of materials, mix your own blood and smear it on the tail, you can remove the fish scales on the tail and turn the tail into two legs.It's just that those materials are extremely difficult to find, and this method has never been tested by mermaids.

God knows how it did it, it secretly found all the materials, and then came to the burial place of the mermaid tribe alone, because there are very few mermaids there and there is a section exposed on the water, so it Wants to carry out its plan secretly there.It's just that it didn't know that it happened to be seen by my guard when it went in, so it quickly informed me.

When I rushed there and saw it, it was sitting on a big rock, wearing this long robe I found somewhere, carefully applying the secret medicine on its tail.It's too late for me to stop it, it has basically completed all the steps.And it also saw me after applying the medicine, obviously it didn't expect me to appear, so it panicked and wanted to explain something.

But before it could explain, the medicine had already begun to work.The scales on its tail fell off in large pieces, bloody as if being torn off abruptly, it rolled in pain, and finally fell into the water.At that moment, I didn't bother to blame it anymore, I held it tightly and only hoped that all this would pass quickly, and it would be fine even if it became a human, as long as it didn't suffer so much anymore.

The scales kept falling off, its blood stained the water surface red, it kept struggling in my arms, moaning in pain, and this continued until all the scales on its tail fell off.It suddenly stopped struggling, which gave me an ominous premonition.I watched it nervously, watching its tail emit a strange halo, and then gradually grow skin, and slowly separate from the middle, and finally successfully turned into two human-like legs.

But that's just similar, its legs don't have knee joints like human's, and it doesn't have feet at all, and the end is just a tail that is divided into two halves.I watched it change in shock and couldn't understand what was wrong.And I'm very worried about how it will feel when it wakes up and sees all this.But I was worried that things didn't happen. It never opened its eyes again, and it lay motionless in my arms as if it was asleep.That's when I knew it would never wake up again. "

It is said that tears cannot be seen in the water, and Xue Yan has always thought so.But today she realized that she was wrong. At this moment, she clearly saw the tears flowing from the mermaid king's eyes.At this moment, it lost the pride of being a king, leaving only the sadness of being a father who watched his child die helplessly.

"Then what happened later? How did you come here?" Xueyan said softly, hoping that it could be freed from the pain at the moment when its child died.

"Later, in order to prevent its corpse from rotting, I joined hands with the elders of the clan to make this enchantment and covered it. Later, I heard that the island owner here can fulfill other people's wishes, so I took the clan elders I came here after going through a lot of hardships, and I want her to save my child. Unfortunately, she is not as omnipotent as in the legend. Although she can transform its body and give it a pair of legs, it cannot save its body. Life." Xue Yan's words reminded it, and the Mermaid King continued.

"Then what now? What do you want me to do for you?" Xueyan was a little confused by what it said. Since the "omnipotent" island owner couldn't save its child, what can she do for it? Woolen cloth?

"The owner of the island once said that only those who have the power of the goddess of water and can summon her to come down can save my child. But once you enter this island, you can never leave. So I can't find what she said. People, I always thought that when I was alive, I would never wait for someone to come. But I didn’t expect someone to freeze the lake today. I went out to check, and I ran into you. What’s more, I didn’t expect that you have the ability to summon the goddess of water. ability. So I beg you now, I beg you to save my child, I can promise you whatever you want, I just ask you to save it.”

If it hadn't been for its lack of knees, Xueyan guessed that the mermaid king would want to kneel down to it at this moment. Seeing its pleading, worry and uneasiness on its face, as well as its fatherly love for its son all deeply affected her, She also very much wants to help it if possible.

"Does the island owner mean that as long as someone can summon the water god to descend, they will definitely be able to save your son?" Xue Yan asked in confirmation, because she herself was not sure that her skills could achieve this effect.

"No, she only said that it is possible. But please try anyway, because you are my only hope." The mermaid king continued to plead for fear that she would refuse.

"I see, I'll give it a try." Xueyan couldn't bear to refuse it and finally nodded in agreement.

It seems that I have to lose another level. Losing two levels in one day is big news!Hope they don't blow up my phone at home!Xue Yan was thinking in her heart, but she started chanting a spell in her mouth.

Resurrected again, Xueyan could barely stand by leaning against the crystal wall, but at this moment she had put all her attention on the mermaid covered in blue light, she wanted to know if it would be useful for her to drop at this level.

The graceful goddess appeared again, and attached her power to the mermaid lying in the crystal wall.At this moment, both the mermaid king and Xueyan stared at the mermaid without blinking, unwilling to miss the slightest change.

To Xueyan's surprise, her skills seemed to react very strongly to the mermaid, the original light blue light suddenly became dazzling, making her unable to open her eyes at all.The blue light lasted for about 5 minutes before it suddenly disappeared. When she looked at the crystal wall again, she was dumbfounded.There is no shadow of a mermaid in the crystal wall in front of me, and there is only a fist-sized pearl left on the stone platform!
"The Mermaid King..." Xue Yan looked at the Mermaid King with some anxiety, fearing that it would tear her into pieces in a rage, and she would die unjustly.She absolutely didn't know that her skills had such a side effect, which could turn mermaids into pearls!

"Thank you for your help!" The Mermaid King was not as furious as she thought, but had a calm expression on his face, as if he was relieved.Seeing her very careful look, a smile appeared on its face: "You don't have to worry so much, it just returned to its original appearance and has not disappeared."

"You mean that pearl is your son?"
