[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

"First of all, you have to understand that it is of no benefit for you to stay here and eat people. You can eat people to fill your stomach, but you can't eat people as an excuse for ideals. Of course, from my point of view, I still don't want you Food. I think, a race like yours, who have been living in the deep sea, originally ate fish, and you can restore your eating habits.”

The little mermaid was a little reluctant, but still nodded.

"Then you have to understand that the 'new mermaid' you imagined is impossible, and it is unrealistic that the mermaid you think can rule over humans. Humans and mermaids are originally two species that will not interfere. If you don’t want to be influenced by other races, you have to understand that both your sister and the prince at that time were at fault for the accident that happened to your sister, but in any case, this fault is the same as that of the accident near the Baisha Sea a few hundred years later. It has nothing to do with people, it has nothing to do with the royal family of Kil'jaeden, it has nothing to do with all mankind."

The little mermaid still ordered a little, but this time it was a little more straightforward.Samuel thought to himself, thanks to the underdeveloped technology now, no, in this era when humans still think that the land they live in is a commoner, and they still admire the heliocentric theory, science is ridiculous to say, and they naturally can't build a boat. deep sea.If by now, human beings knew that there are mermaids in the deep sea, they would have dug three thousand feet and tossed the bottom of the sea. Otherwise, he would not be able to say that the two races would not interfere with each other.

"and also……"

Samuel wanted to say more, but suddenly found that he could not speak.What else can he say?He had already shattered all the little mermaid's fantasies and unrealistic ideas, and told him that it was useless to think about them, so throw them away.To smash the old ideal, one must create a new ideal, but what new idea can he create for the little mermaid?

Seeming to see Samuel's hesitation, the little mermaid asked him softly in a light self-deprecating tone:

"So, what else can I do? What else can I think? I promise you that I will stop hating humans and stop eating humans. Then what? Then what else can I do? You should tell me, as you told me not to do anything You know, I can no longer go home, and I can no longer swim in the sea with my tribe carefree like when I was a child, pick shells and catch lobsters... You can't let me have no thoughts, just like this Tell me to leave here and lie in the sea all day not knowing what to do."

Samuel hesitated for a longer time this time, and after a while, he spoke slowly, thinking and struggling:

"I also have an ideal, but I know it can't be realized, so I never thought about it, even at the beginning. I want to change the human beings on this continent and make them better .I don't expect them to become what I think immediately, and I can't live until the day they become better. But I want to plant a primer, let them know what is good, and then let them realize and be happy Do that, step by step, and one day, it will become like what I have at home, but..."

But what can I do alone?According to history books, from the Middle Ages to the 21st century, from chaos to order, from war to peace, how many years have you experienced in total?Samuel's history is not good, but he also knows how many people died, how many people's blood was shed, how many dynasties have been changed, and how many failures or achievements have been made in this long evolution. revolution.From the emperors who died on the guillotine to the people with lofty ideals who rose up, this is a miraculous and incredible historical process mixed with all kinds of luck and coincidences that cannot be copied. Samuel did not believe that he could do it. Let this continent change.

And, whenever Samuel thinks that this fairy tale world should be shaped with reference to the real world, then this world, after a few hundred years, will one day become what he remembers, right?He shouldn't force it, just as there were no three virtues and five virtues in the era of drinking hair and blood, forcing people in the slave era to understand that everyone is equal is simply something that can only be done with the aura of Mary Sue, unfortunately Samuel also understands Yes, there is absolutely no such thing in his travel benefits, otherwise there would not be so many disasters.History has its own process, wouldn't it be better to let him evolve by himself?If he interferes, will there be any unforeseen deterioration?

However, I am still not reconciled.Even though Samuel hadn't been to places outside Kil'jaeden, he knew that no matter how closed Kil'jaeden was, it wouldn't make much difference.He still wants to change the world, even though he still doesn't know how.

"But I don't have the strength yet, and my strength alone is too meager. I'm not a mermaid, so I don't know what kind of ideal is good for you. I don't speak very well, and I even think that a mermaid can have ideals? In society, people with ideals will either become a marquis and pay homage to achieve a career, or die on the road. But what can you do in such a vast sea? Is it to unify the sea? If you can really unify, at least mermaid With such a long life, you will definitely see the future development of this continent for me."

The mermaid's eyes lighted up, and he didn't care about what Samuel said about "what ideals a mermaid can have". Of course, he doesn't understand the sea, and he doesn't understand mermaids, so he just needs to forgive this human being a lot.

The mermaid said arrogantly: "The ideal of unifying the sea is not bad, I want this."

Hey, do you think ideals are Chinese cabbage, and you can buy whatever you want?And to unify the sea, what can this unify?Samuel thought that if this little mermaid really unified the sea, he was followed by shrimps, fish, kelp and seaweed, lined up in a row... Hahaha!Samuel couldn't help laughing.

The mermaid ignored him at all, because just by looking at Samuel, he knew that he was completely ignorant of the sea.The mermaid continued to talk about his dream to Samuel with the impassioned look and tone of the "new mermaid" before:

"It's not enough to rule the sea! I also want to become the sea god! The elders of the mermaid tribe expelled me because the sea god thought I was deviant. For a generation, I have never seen a sea god! It was only the elders who said that the sea god was like this, and the sea god was like that. I don’t believe that the sea god really exists! If the sea god really existed, why didn’t he prophesy and stop my sister? Frequent relocation? Instead, it always becomes the elder’s tool! Since the Sea God does not exist, then let me be the Sea God! I only control it in my own hands, and I will never obey unwarranted orders!”

Oops...the Second [-] didn't relieve at all, on the contrary, there is no medicine to save it!

Is it so easy to become a sea god?Leaving aside whether there are any gods in this world, Samuel felt unreliable to become a "Sea God" only if he had to have great power to be deified.But the little mermaid's current appearance is more sick than before. Samuel knew that there was no way to persuade him when he saw it.

"You don't need to think too much, I naturally know what I have to do to become a sea god. Mermaids are not the simple creatures you imagined. If I fail, just pretend that you have never seen such a stupid mermaid. If I If I succeed, I can live longer and help you witness the changes you want to see. So you should bless me. No matter what, it’s not bad for you, is it?”

Samuel didn't know what wonderful changes had taken place in him. Almost instantly, the mermaid's face, which was still immature before, matured in an instant, and his height and body became stronger. Even the fish tail supporting his body, Both got bigger and more powerful, but the color of his hair and pupils was still the same light blue.This is, an adult?

The mermaid who could no longer be called "little" was not surprised by her own changes, but lowered her head and put her finger on her chest, tore off a scale that was darker than the surrounding scales, and walked over to Samuel come forward.Samuel was sure that the scale hadn't existed before, and it seemed to have appeared since he was an adult.He didn't stop the mermaid from approaching, his already sharper instincts told him that there was no danger, and the little flower who had just dug out the function of the alarm did not move at all.

After approaching, the strong mermaid that seemed to make Samuel smaller, pressed the scales on Samuel's chest through the clothes. He looked down helplessly as the scales melted into the clothes and disappeared, and hurriedly opened the collar, and saw There is no difference in that position, but when you touch it, you can feel the touch of scales.

"This is?"

"These are the thousand-line scales, the scales that mermaids will have when they grow up. Among mermaids, they are the scales that are given to each other's partners."

The voice of the mermaid has also changed. It used to be as crisp and clear as a human teenager, but now it has become a deep and magnetic voice of an adult man, which made Samuel, who has not grown up, jealous.He didn't think wrong, but waited for the mermaid's explanation.

"Anyway, I won't find a lover anymore. This will only hinder me from unifying the sea and becoming the god of the sea. The function of this scale is to let the partners understand the situation between them, and they can still talk in the sea; when the mermaid is safe The scales will be fine. When the mermaid dies, the scales will fall off. I give you this so that you can be my ideal witness, witnessing whether I am dead or alive. I hope you can put the scales where they are every once in a while. The location is immersed in seawater. If I have succeeded, I will tell you through the scales. If you need my help, I will come, of course, only limited to the problems I can solve in the sea. You don’t want to do it before I succeed. Just die."

Samuel smiled and said, "Okay."
