Mermaid Lord

"Please say."

I remembered the scene when I was fighting in the research institute, hesitated and asked: "You just mentioned that his growth rate is amazing, I want to know what's going on? If I remember correctly, the mermaid will grow into his form. It will take at least half a year, but in fact, he is only three months old now." Ben said a month ago that Shi was only four months old, but in fact this is inconsistent with Shi's actual age, and Ben As a professional who studies mermaids, his statement must have a basis, so the problem lies with Shi.

Thomason's expression looked surprised: "Oh boy, I thought you, as a parent, would know what's going on." Probably seeing my surprised expression, he explained, "Actually, about this issue , we don't know what happened, when the little guy came back three days ago, we almost didn't recognize him. According to our observation, his physical development is not gradual, but sudden. When the situation is stimulated, the body will grow suddenly, not only growing taller, but also gradually showing the physiological characteristics of an adult male, but as you can see, the little guy's mental age does not match his physical development at all. Mentally, it's clearly still a child."

"Has this ever happened to your mermaid race?" I frowned. I was a little worried that this abnormal growth would cause some kind of damage to Shi's body.

"Unfortunately, child, the answer is no. I am the oldest in the group and have seen a lot of worlds, but I can swear that I have never seen such a situation." The gray beard followed Thomason shaking his head slightly Shaking, "We suspect that there may be some kind of stimulating hormone in his body that prompts him to grow rapidly under certain circumstances, but what this hormone is, we can't detect it with our technology."

I fell into silence. Although mermaids are half-human creatures, their technology is not inferior to that of humans. It can even be said with certainty that they are much higher than the poor Gosai tribe. Might be able to figure it out.

Another thing that caught my attention was Shi's status during the battle.

As we said, Shi’s psychological age is still a young child. Under normal circumstances, he should not know many things that adults know, such as driving Burst Dawn—whether he imitates my driving or learns to drive on his own. It is an ability that he should not have as a young child.But in fact, he not only perfectly piloted this high-tech airship, but also showed calm determination and amazing leadership ability in battle. What's going on?

A term immediately popped into my mind: Second Personality.

Apart from this, I can't think of any other more reasonable explanation, but in order not to expose Shi's identity as the Cang Demon Mermaid, I will not ask Thomason, but will only observe secretly to find the answer.

"Moda, Moda?" Probably heard us discussing him, Shi rolled his eyes curiously, looked at me for a while, then looked at Thomason for a while, and flicked his tail foolishly, splashing the water stand up.

"We're complimenting you, little one."

Thomason seemed to be very familiar with Shi's thoughts, he touched Shi's head lovingly, looked at Shi with a cheerful smile and clapped his hands.

"Niniwa, Niniwa."

To be honest, sometimes I envy this simple little guy who doesn't understand anything.

I don't know if I said what was in my heart, Thomason said immediately.

"No child, you are wrong. Please don't treat the little guy as an ordinary child. Sometimes, he even knows more than children of the same age. Maybe you don't know, before he left, he came back and asked me, what It's a partner, how can I be with my partner. To be honest, I was really shocked that he would ask such a question that is not appropriate for his age, but I patiently explained it to him for educational reasons , I didn't expect him to express a lot of insightful views on his love view based on my explanation, and he said goodbye to me, saying that he was going to find his partner. I just didn't expect..." Thomason smiled unclearly He gave me a serious look, "He has gone through so many things and brought you back."

I didn't think about the meaning of Thomason's words, so I nodded. Just at this time, the wound was bandaged. With Shi's help, Thomason packed up the medicine box and left a few bottles of medicine on my head. Advised: "Your wound is very deep, I suggest you not to walk around in a short period of time. These are anti-inflammatory potions, please take them according to the instructions on the potions. During this time, there are more wounded in the clan. Please forgive me for not being too careful. Take care of you more time, if you need anything, please tell the little guy, he will come to me."

"Okay, thank you." I thanked Thomason sincerely.

Thomason swam towards the entrance of the cave with the support of Shi, and before he was about to leave, he stopped suddenly, turned to me and said, "Oh, and today the leader will have a banquet in the palace when he returns. I want to see you, let the little guy take you there in the evening, the leader will be very happy to see you."

"Wada." Shi nodded happily, and sent Thomason out.

I exhaled, lay back on the slate, and watched the faint candlelight quietly.

This kind of day without fighting and without enemies is so reassuring. I wish I could stay at this moment for a few more days, but in fact, the storm is coming.

Because I was injured, I couldn't soak in the sea water, so in the evening, Shi Tui came to a bamboo raft, helped me lie on the bamboo raft, and pushed me forward from behind.

I ignorantly thought that the habitats of deep-sea mermaids were composed of caves, but everything I actually saw subverted my cognition.After leaving the cave, there is indeed a section of the road full of similar caves, but after about 10 [-] minutes, it suddenly becomes clear.

The sea water stops in front of a large stone road, looking along the steps up the stone road, this place is simply a city on the sea.On both sides of the city gate, which is about three meters high, there are two statues of female mermaids. They smile and hold delicately carved water pots in both hands, pouring clear sea water into the center of the city gate. In the words of Shi, only the water of the Holy Spirit Mermaids who have been washed are eligible to enter the city.

Passing through the water of the holy spirit and getting off the bamboo raft, Shi and I entered this city.The mermaids who come and go glide on the stone road by swinging their tails. There are shops of different sizes standing on both sides of the road. The building materials of these shops are actually shells and corals. The things sold in the shops are not only food, but also various All kinds of ornaments and sculptures, and they traded shellfish and pearls. What surprised me even more was that their communication was expressed in the form of singing.

In my previous cognition, mermaids are brutal species, but here I can't see their brutal characteristics. On the contrary, they are easy-going, and my vigilance is completely unnecessary.

Seeing me as a human being, they came around and stared at me curiously, but none of them became hostile to me, nor did they attempt to attack or eat me. Some children even came over and hugged me. I touched my legs curiously.

I thought it was because Shi told them my identity, so they were not hostile, but in fact, Shi denied it, and he told me that only the elders and leaders know my identity.

So why are they being so...um, friendly to me?Yes, they are quite friendly. Some female mermaids even sent me necklaces made of flowers and shellfish, and showed me beautiful smiles, but the little guy seems to dislike their behavior. When approaching, he would hug my waist tightly and stare at them with puffed cheeks.

Well, no matter what, this has overturned my previous cognition. According to our usual point of view, they should rob me as a human being and give me to the mermaid lord, but this is not the case.

Just when I was wondering, we arrived at a huge palace.The shape of this palace is almost the same as our human castle, except that it is made of polished shells and corals. On the top and four corners of the palace, there are several bean-sized night pearls inlaid, highlighting the prosperity and nobility of the palace.

The road leading to the interior of the palace is also made of shells. In the middle of the road, there is a statue of a mermaid inlaid with pearls. What is even more amazing is that the light reflected by the night pearls at the four corners of the palace happens to fall on this road. Mermaid statue.

According to the explanation, this mermaid is the sea god worshiped by the mermaid race. The sea god will test whether the person entering the palace has a pure heart. If the heart is full of darkness, the sea god will expel the person from the palace.

I was deeply shocked, this is the civilization of the deep sea mermaids, a wonderful and miraculous civilization.

They have their own worship and beliefs, architectural knowledge and design, and unique business methods, which are almost indistinguishable from ours.

For the first time, I personally felt that the mermaid is a veritable half-human creature with high IQ.

When we were about to enter the palace, we were stopped by the mermaid guards at the gate.I thought he was going to do something to me as a human, but in fact, he just asked us for identification.

When I was wondering why the guard accepted me so naturally, Shi handed him a piece of translucent light blue scales. Unexpectedly, the guard refused us to enter after looking at it.
