The brave will run away

Today's mermaid city is very lively, because their new mermaid king was born.

——It’s just that none of the noble mermaids have heard of that name, Vivienne.

The appointment of the mermaid king is very arbitrary. As long as the current mermaid king is willing to pass on the belt that belongs to the mermaid king to the person he wants, the mermaid who owns the belt, no matter how strong or weak he is, will be honored by the mermaids. For the mermaid king.

Vivienne seized such a loophole, was entangled in magic, and seized the throne.But he doesn't like to show his fish tail, so the magic power is also limited, and he can't maximize the magic.Although the lower part of the mermaid's body is a fish's tail, it usually doesn't swim to the sea, but there are always people who go out to sea and encounter accidents and sink to the bottom of the sea and are discovered by the mermaid. That is the prototype of the mermaid's magic.Every mermaid will turn into a human leg magic, but they will not use this useless magic. They think that human beings are uglier than them (soaked hair), and human legs cannot forcefully throw out the cyclone to propel the body to swim Well, the extra fabric on their bodies is the biggest resistance on the bottom of the sea, so they don't even notice human beings, and even think that human beings are weak.

In the battle of Creation and the Battle of Walt, it was their mermaids who floated to the surface of the sea to help humans, so that they could defeat the demons. The idea of ​​mermaids is very close to that of the dragons, and they all think that their race is superior to all other races, so that they are more Self-satisfied.

There are also nobles in the mermaid family. They have always had high magic power and are proud of their dark tails. They disdain to become humanoid, and even more disdainful to Vivien who maintains human behavior—what makes you unwilling to maintain a fish tail? , Instead, learn from those despicable humans?After the former Mermaid King issued an announcement and most of the nobles had seen Vivienne, Qiqi expressed his disapproval.

What Vivienne did at the time, no one knew.It's just that the soldiers who were guarding the door at that time said that the noisy meeting hall suddenly fell silent and nothing could be heard. When the noble mermaids came out again, they had already respected Vivienne without any contempt.

The nobleman agreed, and the mermaids below had no objections. Vivien was honorably enthroned the second day after returning to Mermaid City.

When Cheng Xun and the others arrived in Mermaid City, the ceremony had just ended, and the ribbons floating in the water hadn’t been taken off yet. Different types of marine plants emitted beautiful fluorescence of different colors to illuminate the entire city, and the buildings were painted in thick colors. Beautiful and eye-catching.There has never been a book that introduced the habits and habitats of mermaids. Now Cheng Xun understands that except for few other species that can come here, even if they can come here, it is impossible to use a few words to describe the glamor of the mermaid world.Most of their buildings are made of stones, without windows, and only have holes for mermaids to swim in and out of. There are also various small plants hanging from the holes, swaying under the water flow driven by them.There are various corals crossing and criss-crossing between the buildings, and little mermaids will play and fight inside, flapping their tails to form tiny water bubbles that float upward.

"Eh—haven't seen you?" A pale pink female mermaid suddenly swam in front of them with a soft and sweet voice. While flicking its tail, there was a surge in its chest. Turning your eyes to look down, oh, that tail is so beautiful and transparent, "Why is it wearing this strange thing... from Tapu?"

Fubosi who was beside him poked Cheng Xun and asked what the mermaid said.It was only then that Cheng Xun realized that Fubosi's magic was still on Vivienne, and Saar's was on him, so now he is the only one who can communicate with the mermaid.

After listening to Cheng Xun's explanation, Fubosi shook his head and replied, "We are from the first class."

The female mermaid tilted her head and blinked, but didn't understand.

"Cheng Xun, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Cheng Xun, who was called by name, didn't react at all: "...Eh?" Fubusi looked over, and Cheng Xun stumbled to translate.

"Hmm...a place I haven't heard of before," the mermaid pointed her chin and thought for a long time, but she couldn't think of it, but she quickly smiled with relief, "As long as it doesn't come from Tapu! You are because of the mermaid. Did the king come to the throne?"

"The mermaid king succeeds?" Cheng Xun raised his head in surprise, then subconsciously covered his eyes and apologized when he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

The other party didn't feel it at all: "Why are you apologizing? I'm the one who should be apologizing. Those things who regarded you as Tapu... But you are late, the mermaid king's succession is over."

"We don't care about the succession of the Mermaid King," Fubosi denied this sentence after listening to Cheng Xun's translation. She frowned and said, "We are here for the safety of the world."

Cheng Xun couldn't speak—how dare he translate the lines of the second year of middle school!Is he going to cross the past from an ordinary brave to become a middle-school brave? !But under the watchful eyes of Fubosi, he could only change his original meaning a little - "We are here for the safety of our place."

"Where are you?" The mermaid flicked her pink fish tail, "Shouldn't I look for the nobles in your territory... Why did you come here?"

Cheng Xun choked, and explained exactly what Fubusi had said.

As a result, the female mermaid laughed loudly. Although she said it was a big laugh, she did not lose manners at all. After laughing, she didn't speak.

Later, some mermaids came up and asked if they were from Tapu. Cheng Xun was really curious, and after denying this sentence, he asked where Tapu was.

The mermaid put on a surprised expression and asked back: "You don't know Tapu? Are you still a qualified mermaid?"

Cheng Xun: "..." He's not a mermaid in the first place, okay?

"I didn't want to mention Tapu at first," he shrugged, "but today is a day worth celebrating, so I'll make an exception."

"……thanks."

"You must never touch Tapu, it's a dirty and evil place."

After listening to it for a long time, Cheng Xun realized that Tapuwu was actually a slum, and behind this glamorous city, there was also such a poor gathering place.

——But the mermaids don’t think the mermaids in Tapu are pitiful. They think it’s very common, just like they have fish tails and breathe in water. They even think that the mermaids in Tapuu are not suitable for using fish tails. , so Cheng Xun and the others were recognized as Tapu's mermaids at first.

"If you don't want to be misidentified again, you'd better show your fish tail." Before leaving, he left such a sentence.

...How could they have such a fantastic thing as a fish tail!Do you want to continue to be asked in the end...

"Ask them how to get to the palace," Fubosi didn't seem to care about the mermaid's accusation (Cheng Xun: nonsense, only I can understand TT), "We just need to find the current mermaid king."

After being asked again by the mermaid if they were from Tapu, Cheng Xun still looked down at the female mermaid in embarrassment and asked, "Do you know how to get to the palace?"

"The palace?" The beautiful apricot-orange red tail of the female mermaid curled up, and she bent down as she pressed her pale fingers on her hips, "Why are you going to the palace?"

...Can't you say save the world?Cheng Xun's reaction to the mermaid's non-stop laughing was really shadowed. He subconsciously looked at Saar, and before Saar could say anything, he had a flash of inspiration, "We know the new mermaid king! We are here to congratulate you!"

"Hey——" the female mermaid was a little surprised, "It's so strange, it has such an identity? Does the mermaid king come from what you said, the first class?"

After Cheng Xun silently praised her wit, the female mermaid pointed in one direction, "See, that crystal-like transparent palace is where the mermaid king is located."

...why didn't I see it before? !It is only natural for mermaid nobles and royal families to live in the most luxurious buildings. Why did he not notice at all before the female mermaid pointed the way?

Thanks to the mermaid for guiding the way, the trio of saving the world headed towards the palace that belonged to the mermaid.

……

The residence of mermaids cannot be quantified by their appearance. The wealth they possess is their magic power, and this palace was built so beautifully just to highlight the power of the mermaid king, as if it is like the sun in the seabed. Is the leader of all fish.

After the ridiculous meeting ended, Vivien returned to the bedroom that belonged to the mermaid king alone.

The milky white shellfish gently opens and closes, smooth and bright like cream, caressing the floating dark green seaweed, causing a burst of shaking. Pearls of different sizes are inlaid on the wall, forming a concave and convex picture of mermaids playing. The soft white light illuminated the whole bedroom, and Vivien walked to the navy blue bed with his smooth feet without shoes, and took off his long pants after sitting down.

The legs are close together, the delicate skin gradually protrudes with tiny fish scales, the white feet are fused together and slowly dyed light green, the tail is elongated into a thin layer of green film, and his crotch also grows Thin and transparent green tulle floats along with the seaweed along the current.Vivien stretched out five fingers. His hands were no different from human beings, except that the bases of his fingers were connected by translucent webs, which would tighten when he opened a large distance. He looked at his jade with a blank expression. Green tail.

The fish tail is not much different from ordinary mermaids, but Vivien's eyes are full of unwillingness. He flicks his fish tail, as if desperately trying to get rid of this kind of thing, and pats the solid-colored mermaid. The floor tiles seem to have to punch a hole to relieve the air.

It took him a while to stop the self-torture, hugged his fishtail tightly and buried his head, the cold scales stuck to his cheeks, and his body trembled.

——That's why he didn't want to show off his fish tail... Because the color of this tail is too light, so light that it can't even match the low-level soldiers in the palace. Apart from that magic, what can he use to suppress it?

Vivien touched his neck, and there was a necklace hanging there. The necklace was very simple, consisting of a sterling silver chain connected with one large and two small beads. Touching his fingers, his fingertips were icy cold, and he could feel the mellow magic power flowing inside, and even slightly spilled blood into his fingertips.

only this.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, Vivien was startled, quickly changed the fishtail into human legs, and put on his pants.

"There are mermaids that I have never seen before, and they say they know you..."

"It's called Sal."
