Arke learned from the discussions of the surrounding residents that the second-generation angel decided to visit the capital of Titan on a temporary basis. He was at the seaside at the time, so he did not know the news in advance, so he happened to meet them.
Maybe it shouldn't be called the capital city now - after all, as one of the territories of Noah's star country, the capital of Titan has become the capital of Noah, but the aborigines of the planet are still used to using this city as the capital, they are not yet. It is very acceptable to accept the fact that my country has changed its dynasties.
In the majestic and majestic military music, the flamboyant and gorgeous giant floats slowly drove across the street. The second-generation blond angels smiled and waved in all directions. The curvature of their lips did not change too much from beginning to end, and it was as precise as if it had been ahead of schedule. measure.
Although they made smiling expressions, Arke, who was also an angel, knew that they had no emotions of their own, and they would smile only when the occasion required them to smile.
The same is true for the residents standing in the buildings on both sides of the street. Many of them hate the "Ark Angel", but they still have to force a smile to welcome these intruders.
Witnessing all this, Ark suddenly felt a little sad. He didn't like to see the performances of the illusory and the snake, nor hatred and fear, but he was one of the murderers who caused this scene. When Asia fell, he had inescapable responsibilities and sins.
The second-generation angel passed by Ark, and the float finally moved into the distance, but the long queue was not over yet, and then several huge transport vehicles drove over, holding large water tanks several meters high. There is a mermaid in the tank.
These mermaids are beautiful, but they look haggard. Most of them are quietly curled up at the bottom of the water tank, motionless, completely lost their vitality.
"who are they?"
A childish voice suddenly sounded in the room, and Alke turned his head and saw that the little mermaid had come out of the box. His two little hands were laboriously clinging to the window sill, flapping his tail, and seeing the mermaid in the water tank, Suddenly opened his eyes.
"Don't come out."
Alke's heart tightened, and he immediately carried the little mermaid back into the box to prevent him from being seen. Tails, are they my family?"
"…I don't think so."
After a moment of silence, Alke shook his head. Almost everyone related to the royal family had been killed. The little mermaid should have no relatives alive in the world.
But he still accidentally let the little mermaid see his clan, which made him worry about whether the little mermaid would want to find his clan. If the little mermaid really wanted to leave, he might not have the heart to stop him, however. What he is most afraid of is that the little mermaid will be caught as a plaything like the mermaid in the water tank in the future, and he will not be able to escape the tragic fate in his life.
"I want to see them again."
The little mermaid blinked her round eyes and acted coquettishly at Ark. Seeing that he didn't seem to see that the mermaids were imprisoned, he nodded and used a big bath towel to cover the little mermaid from head to toe. With his feet bound and only his eyes exposed, he carried him to the window.
The transporter carrying the mermaid water tank is also about to go away, the little mermaid watched without blinking, a little eager to say hello to those mermaids, but held back.
"Bang!"
However, at this moment, the mermaid in the last water tank suddenly became mad and hit the water tank with his head frantically. Soon his head was bleeding, the blood stained the water inside, and at the same time, he screamed madly. , scratching his face with blood dripping with his long nails.
His abnormality also caused a commotion among the other mermaids, and soon all the mermaids started hitting the water tank with their tails. Can still hear the crashing sound inside.
"do not look!"
As early as when the adult fish hit the water tank with his head, Alke immediately covered the eyes of the little mermaid, preventing him from seeing the bloody scene below.
But the screams that followed still frightened the little mermaid. He was trembling all over. Alcora closed the curtains, took him into his arms, covered his ears, and kept comforting him until the parade left. , The little mermaid was still trembling, and there were rustling tears in her eyes.
"He's saying he wants to go out..."
The little mermaid grabbed Alke's shirt tightly and said to him pleadingly: "He didn't stay in it voluntarily, he was locked up, can we save him, oh, brother Alke..."
The young mermaid cried, and Alke patted his back with a distressed expression, but he couldn't make any promises to the little mermaid.
If he is discovered by Noah again, he will inevitably be hunted down again by the second-generation angels. At that time, not only himself, but also the little mermaid and Fergie will be involved in danger together. He cannot save himself. others and put them in danger.
The little mermaid fell asleep crying, Ark put him in the box, took him out of the hotel quietly, and returned to the temporary base.
However, at night, the little mermaid suddenly had a fever, probably because of being frightened. He shivered while holding his tail, and his whole body was very hot. Alke was so anxious that he fed the little mermaid medicine and found ice water to wipe it over and over again. Watching his body, watching over the little mermaid and staying up all night.
It wasn't until the high temperature slowly subsided that Alke finally breathed a sigh of relief, drank a little water, and ate something. In order to take care of the little mermaid that night, he didn't even drink water and stayed by the little mermaid all the time.
"Brother Alke..."
The little mermaid whose face was burning red was placed in the incubator, her eyes opened a gap, she swiped the tip of her nose, and looked at Ark outside the box with grievance and sadness, her tears melted into the water.
Although he was completely powerless, he still patted the wall of the box and wanted Alke to hug him. Alke fished him out of the water, held him wetly in his arms, and kept stroking his hair, comforting him in a low voice. Him: "I'm right here."
The little mermaid hugged his wrist tightly and refused to let go after saying anything. She burst into tears and whispered, "I had a terrible nightmare just now..."
"Don't be afraid, the things you dream about in your dreams are not real." Alke wiped away the tears from the corners of the little mermaid's eyes and coaxed him gently, "With me by your side, nothing will happen."
"But you weren't by my side in the dream..." the little mermaid choked and said, "I have grown up in the dream, although we were still together at that time, but you seemed to be very busy and would always leave me, I could only be myself stay."
"The pool is very big, I can move freely, but I can't leave this pool, there are many horrible people watching me, they won't let me go, and later they gave me something very bitter, after I drank it I kept vomiting blood, and you didn't show up until I was about to die."
"I still call you 'Ark Angel' in my dream, not your brother. You look a little strange, and it's not the same as now..."
Alk was stunned for a moment.
He had already heard that the nightmare described by the little mermaid was the scene of Ji Ning's death. Ji Ning was discovered by Noah Star Country as a spy, and was sentenced to death for being poisoned. When he arrived, it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the mermaid died in his arms.
Why did the little mermaid dream of the scene at that time
He obviously shouldn't know anything.
The white-haired angel's heart was turbulent, and his pupils shrank slightly, but the little mermaid in his arms was still very weak. After talking so much, he consumed a lot of physical strength. He had already curled up into a ball and fell asleep, holding Alke's hand when he slept. , murmured uneasily in the dream.
"Don't leave me..."
"… "
Alke hugged the mermaid's small body, lowered his eyes, a touch of red appeared at the end of his eyes, showing an expression that he was about to cry.
He dared not think any more.
But he had to figure out what was going on.
…
The red-haired man's mission was over, and he returned to Titan to visit Alke and the little mermaid. Alke trusted him and told him what he had encountered.
"So you're saying that the kid dreamed of what Ji Ning had experienced before?"
The man opened his mouth and showed an incredulous expression: "How is it possible? He is not Ji Ning, how could he know about the past?" He immediately asked again, "Did you ask for more details later on? ?"
"... He doesn't remember." Alke's eyes showed complex emotions, he slowly shook his head, and whispered, "After his fever subsided, he no longer remembers seeing those merman, nor does he have any nightmares about him. Not impressed."
"Is that so..."
The red-haired man rubbed his chin with a thoughtful look: "Could it have something to do with what kind of stimulation he saw in his kin? But no matter what the incentive was, the strangest thing was, how could he dream of Ji What about Ning? Before he was born, Ji Ning was obviously gone, and there is no possibility of memory sharing."
He paused, then continued: "And I have long felt strange, although the growth rate of the mermaid is very fast, but his speed is much faster than the ordinary mermaid, it may be that we don't know enough about the companion eggs. , there might be some secrets hidden here..."
"Let's do it!" He tapped the palm of his hand and made a neat decision, "I want to infiltrate the mermaid and find out what the hell is going on with the companion eggs. It just so happened that I recently learned the mermaid language, and as long as I cooperate with it, I will become a mermaid. The secret medicine, I can get close to them."
"Fergie..." Alke said, shaking his head a little bewildered, "I can't bother you any more, you've done a lot for me..."
"It's not for you either." The red-haired man smiled, "Of course I want to find treasures more, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to learn mermaid language, and inquiring about the companion eggs is just a little effort."
But in any case, Alke is very grateful to Fergie. Since he was rescued by Fergie, he has really taken care of him a lot, and he has given him very little in return.
"It's good that you know." The red-haired man hummed, "When the child grows up, you must come out and do tasks with me and make me a lot of money!"
As an experienced mercenary, his ability is unquestionable. With his proficient mermaid language and mermaid secret medicine, he quickly entered the mermaid tribe smoothly, gained their trust, and asked them about it. About companion eggs.
"For what's next, listen to me carefully, Alke."
After a period of time, the red-haired man returned to the land, and immediately returned to the base without stopping. The expression that had always been full of jokes became a lot more serious, and he said seriously.
"The companion eggs are so rare that even most mermen don't know about them. This is a secret that I asked an elder of the merman tribe. Although it sounds incredible, I think it should be true. "
As he said that, he glanced at the little mermaid sleeping in the water tank. The little guy grew up very fast, and now he looks like a child of eight or nine years old.
"Whether it's a dream of the past, or the speed of his growth different from the normal mermaid, it's the most powerful proof."
He lowered his voice unconsciously and opened his mouth slowly.
"The merman elder told me that the companion eggs are symbiotic with the soul of the merman..."
"Even if it dies, as long as the fire of the soul does not go out, one day it will be reborn because of love and longing."
"I think I have to take back what I said at the beginning, he is Ji Ning, he is the reincarnation of Ji Ning."
"It's you, Alke, who brought him back into this world."
…
That night, Alke sat motionless by the water tank, quietly watching the little mermaid sleeping in the water, sleepless all night.
His eyes slowly traced the mermaid's eyebrows, everything seemed to be just a dream, so beautiful that he couldn't believe it, his heart was beating, and there was a dense pain.
He felt heartache again.
But this distress is different from before. This is the fear and pain caused by extreme joy.
Tears fell silently from the silver pupils.
The white-haired angel finally stood up, placed his palm lightly on the water tank, and gently kissed across the transparent tank wall.
This time, let him teach his mermaid what "love" is.
…
Before I knew it, a whole year had passed since the birth of the little mermaid.
After having that nightmare, the little mermaid dreamed more and more about the past life on and off. Alke's mood was contradictory, he both hoped his mermaid could recall their former emotions, but he didn't want him to be completely Restoring his memory, because his country, Titan, was destroyed after all, and he was unable to save it.
On the day of his birthday, the red-haired man spent a lot of effort to buy a very scarce birthday cake. Although he screamed in pain when he served the cake, but seeing the happy smile on the mermaid's face, he grabbed it. After scratching his hair, he laughed too, took out another birthday candle and put it on the cake.
"Happy Birthday… "
As he said that, there was a strange look on his face, because the mermaid sitting in the short water tank was already mature, with beautiful and charming eyebrows, exuding a tempting atmosphere, where does it seem that he is only one year old .
However, the way mermaids calculate their age is different from that of humans. They have long lifespans, but they grow rapidly in their infancy. One year old is an adult, and juveniles grow faster than ordinary mermaids. Converted to the age of humans, at least there are Twenty years old.
"Thank you, Fergie."
The mermaid in the water tank frowned and made a wish with his eyes closed. Before blowing out the candle, he smiled and said to the other two: "Why don't you make a wish?"
"Oh that's fine."
The red-haired man happily agreed, closing his eyes and making a wish, and Ark did the same, speaking silently in his heart.
As an "Ark Angel", he had never heard of such a custom, but after integrating into the life of ordinary people, he gradually understood a lot and was willing to learn, because it would make him feel more like a people.
"What are your two wishes?"
After making the wish, the red-haired man opened a bottle of wine and asked, "Of course my wish is to make money, to make a lot of money, and I can't spend it all in my life!"
"I wish I could be with Alke forever." The mermaid said with a smile.
"What about me?" the man shouted in dissatisfaction, "Don't you have me in your wish?"
"I don't care, but didn't you say that you still want to get married and have children?" The mermaid smiled, "Be with us forever, how can you still get married?"
"Uh..." The red-haired man was startled and muttered, "Just as friends..."
The mermaid smiled, but suddenly frowned slightly, holding his forehead, showing an uncomfortable expression.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Alke immediately stepped forward and supported the mermaid's arm, only to find that his cool skin was exuding bursts of warmth at the moment, and the mermaid's beautiful face also showed a gorgeous crimson, and the eyes were stained with tears. He parted his lips slightly, breathing lightly.
"I have no idea… "
He looked at Alke, tears kept falling from his eyes, and he held the corner of Alke's shirt: "But I'm so uncomfortable, Ark, I'm so uncomfortable..."
"Ah, bad..."
Seeing that the mermaid couldn't help sticking to Alke's body, and rubbed his cheek against Alke's palm, the red-haired man was stunned, his eyes suddenly widened, and he muttered.
"Is he entering the breeding period?"
