Chapter 37 The Legend of Mermaids and Shipwrecks
Aurora frowned. At this moment, she realized how difficult the problem was, and she looked worried.
Is the first important level of this journey so difficult?
Different from the girl's sad face, the boy looked happy, as if what the princess said was no problem.
Rhine knew very well that "mermaids are very scary and will cause disasters and attack ships passing through this sea area", which only comes from the records of the Kingdom of Rose.
The Kingdom of Lolth is not near the sea. These records involving the mermaid kingdom are actually third- and fourth-hand information that has been passed down by rumors. Most of them come from the embellished descriptions of drowned sailors from other countries, as well as various unrealistic fantasies!
After carefully studying the documents recorded about the mermaid kingdom, Rhine discovered that the evidence of the so-called "mermaids causing disasters and attacking passing ships" is actually this:
When some ships passed through this sea area, sailors would occasionally see several mermaids floating on the water at dusk, holding hands and singing melodious songs.
——That singing voice is better than that of any human singer. But the content of the song is extremely horrifying, and seems to be praising the depth and beauty of the seabed.
The song seemed to be sung to the sailors, telling the sailors not to be afraid of sinking into the sea and to embrace the beautiful seabed.
However, for a sailor on board a ship, there is nothing scarier than the bottom of the ocean.
If it were just some scary songs, that would be it. What's even more frightening is that all ships that hear the mermaid's singing are like being cursed, and almost without exception, something will happen to them immediately.
Even if the sea is originally as calm as a lake, it will become furious the next second. The sky suddenly turned overcast, black clouds enveloped the sky, and a manic storm roared, setting off huge waves more than ten meters high and engulfing the ship. Almost all the sailors sank to the bottom of the sea - just as the mermaid's song goes.
A handful of sailors survived the shipwreck and told horrific stories, calling it the "Mermaid's Curse."
However, in Rhine's view, the so-called "mermaid's curse" is most likely a misunderstanding!
According to "The Daughter of the Sea", whenever a storm is about to come, several sisters from the Neptune Palace like to float to the sea hand in hand and sing beautiful songs in front of passing ships, saying how lovely it is under the water. Celebrating the beauty of the ocean floor and Neptune's palace. Apparently other mermaids should have similar habits.
Obviously, the mermaids don't know how terrifying the sea they live in is to humans.
You sing about the beauty of the seabed in front of sailors who are most afraid of shipwrecks, and then disaster really strikes. Don't blame humans for fearing you and treating you as monsters that bring disaster... Rhine silently cursed.
The next second, Aurora's question pulled the boy out of his thoughts:
"So, should we find a guide who is familiar with the sea world? The world is so big, maybe there is a magician who understands it and has even reached the mermaid kingdom?"
"It is true that there is a guide who knows the mermaid kingdom." Rhine said.
"Who?" Aurora pricked up her ears curiously.
"A sage from outside the world, a prophet who knows the future, a wizard of miracles and wishes. The former court magician of the kingdom, and the mentor of the future queen of the kingdom." Rhine answered with a smile.
Are you talking about yourself? Aurora rolled her eyes, already used to some of the teacher's strange sense of humor.
"So, dear guide. First of all, the first question is, how do we get down to the sea?" Aurora asked.
Rhine flipped his little hand.
The tinder box that was originally on Aurora miraculously appeared in his palm.
Rub, rub, rub.
He wiped the tinderbox three times.
There was a whooshing sound, and a dog with eyes as big as the top of a dome—the biggest dog—appeared on the beach.
Rhine gently stroked the dog's fur and recited a few spells. The dog's body shape changed rapidly and turned into a weird big fish.
The appearance of the big fish is similar to the lantern fish that the boy saw in his previous life.
The big fish opened its mouth, and Rhine took Aurora into the big fish's belly. The big fish jumped up and took them into the sea.
The belly of the fish is transparent, so they can see things in the water; the fish has a chandelier-like thing on its head, which glows in the water, so it can illuminate the dark seabed.
Aurora raised a second difficulty:
"But, my guide, this sea is so vast and boundless. How can we find the land of mermaids?"
Rhine smiled again and ordered the big fish:
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"Let's go and swim to the land of mermaids."
Rhine didn't know exactly where the mermaid's kingdom was in the sea, but it didn't matter.
The big fish is essentially a transformation of the tinder box dog, which has its own magic!
As early as after obtaining the tinder box, Rhine conducted dozens of experiments and asked the three dogs to find various different things.
No matter how strange the target is, dogs can always find it as long as they are within a certain distance. From antiques buried in the ground to a specific person, a dog's nose can always smell the target.
No wonder they were able to find money for the soldiers—I don’t know which rich man’s treasury they stole; no wonder they were able to discover that the “princess of the kingdom” was not in the palace! Rhine thought.
In fairy tales, epics and folk tales, many magical supernatural powers are absolute. Rhine estimated that the dog summoned by the tinderbox had the characteristic of "definitely finding the target within a certain distance".
The big fish that the dog turned into received the command, felt something, and searched in a certain direction.
After a while, the big fish dived to the seabed covered with white sand.
