Diary of Raising a Mermaid

Chapter 24

Views:

Quirrell's IQ is much higher than Lance imagined.

According to Quirrell, it knows and spells, and, in order to better collect the sunken ships, it also designated different areas for them according to the names of the ships, just to make it easier to find the sunken ships in the future.

Lance was amazed at this, and couldn't help asking curiously:

[Then why do you collect shipwrecks?]

At that time, Lance and Winsor were following Quirrell. Two mermaids and a group of red tentacles wandered among the sunken ships, just to find the "Queen Mary" that Lance said.

Among the pieces of scrap metal, Quirrell spat out water and replied ferociously:

[I want you to take care of it!]

After saying this, Quirrell suddenly remembered that besides Lance, there was a Wenser behind him, and he froze again. The arrogance just now was discouraged, and he waited and struggled, saying:

[Just... to satisfy a little hobby of mine.]

One of the characteristics of a high IQ is rich emotions. Isn't it normal for Quirrell to have a hobby

During the conversation, Lance and Quirrell came to the most northwest corner.

Quirrell stopped, it was still the size of a palm, it shook its eighteen tentacles, pointed to a pile of boats below, and said:

[I placed them according to the initials, here is the area, you can find it below yourself.]

Lance looked at the scrap iron all over the mountains and plains below, showing a bewildered expression.

"Let me help you."

Wenser, who had been silent all the way, suddenly said, he swam over and touched Lance intimately, but at the same time, he also asked,

"However, Lance, we are all here, here, can you tell me why you are looking for that ship?"

"You can read?"

Lance didn't care about Wenser's question, he turned his mind to the other side very inappropriately.

If you want to find that ship, you must know the name.

According to Lance's understanding, he always thought that Wenser lived in the deep sea.

If he lived in the deep sea, that is, he would not have contact with humans, how did Wenser know how to read

Under Lance's gaze, Wenser blinked slowly:

"Teach yourself."

Lance: "..."

He didn't believe it.

Lance rolled his eyes at Wenser, but afterwards, he also said to Wenser seriously:

"I'll tell you everything when I find that ship."

He thought about it, instead of keeping concealing the truth that he is a person inside, he might as well have a showdown with Wenser.

Lance likes Wenser very much, and is very grateful to Wenser, so he cherishes Wenser very much.

Because he cherished it, he was unwilling to deceive Wenser.

As for what will happen to Wenser after learning the truth, Lance decided to wait until then.

He should calmly accept any of Wenser's trials against him, even if it's parting.

After making a decision, Lance's face turned pale. He didn't want to watch Wenser's reaction carefully. He turned around and swam to the hulk below.

When Wenser came back to his senses, the white mermaid had disappeared among the scrap iron, and his figure was looming in the shadows, like a ghost.

Wenser keenly noticed that what Lance said just now was more like leaving a "last word".

[I think he is human.]

At this time, Quilo next to him floated over, and it asked cautiously, [Nat, am I right?]

To Lance, Winsor was Winsor, the black mermaid.

However, to the sea monsters, Winsor was that—

Sleeping in the Nat Trench, their lord of the abyss, lord of the ocean.

Wenser didn't speak, he glanced at Quirrell coldly.

Quirrell trembled, and it suddenly understood that it had touched the king's reverse scale.

[No matter who Lance is, he is mine.]

Winsor's voice sounded,

[Go down and help him find it.]

Now that the king had spoken, Quirrell did not dare to be careless, and immediately swam down to find the ship named "Queen Mary".

However, there are really too many shipwrecks here. The two mermaids and Quirrell, after finding the sunset during the day, still haven't found the "Queen Mary".

[Did you remember wrongly?]

When they got together again, Quirrell couldn't help asking.

[Won't.]

Lance said firmly, [The probability of being able to board this ship is very low, I paid a lot of money to buy the ticket.]

Because he spent too much money, Lance held the ticket for a whole day and looked at it. Therefore, he clearly remembered that the ship was called "Queen Mary".

However, here, it really doesn't seem to be there.

Lance was a little depressed.

He even wondered if he was in a dream, maybe his real body was still on the "Queen Mary".

[Do not be discouraged.]

Perhaps a little friendship was cultivated, Quirrell comforted Lance, hummed a song,

[Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole~]

While repeating strange words, it rhythmically flashed various colors, and it looked like a neon sign.

As for Wenser, who was watching the whole process, he couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard Quirrell's strange tone.

Sometimes, he had to admit that sea monsters were indeed as stupid and cute as Lance said.

Ke Lansi's reaction was exactly the opposite of Wenser's.

Lance tilted his head, he couldn't help but read a few words after Quirrell, and then he was blessed to his heart:

[Wait a minute, are you singing—'gogogo, Ole Ole Ole'?]

Compared with Quirrell's unwavering repetition, Lance's is a short song.

Quirrell stayed for a moment, and then the eighteen tentacles were so happy in the sea that they almost twisted themselves into twists:

[Yes, yes, this is the song, do you like to sing too?]

[This song is the theme song "Cup of Life" for the 1998 World Cup.]

Lance was very surprised. He didn't expect the sea monster to like this song.

This passage in the song "The Cup of Life" is really brainwashing. Lance is also a fan of watching the World Cup, so he naturally thinks of this.

In this case…

Recalling the beating sound he heard on the bottom of the sea before, Lance couldn't help but have an incredible guess:

[Are you beating the drums?]

It would all make sense if those rhythmic noises were "drums"—

Quirrell collects shipwrecks because he uses them as drums.

When it came to hunt down Lance, the iron rod in its hand was actually a drumstick.

[You, how do you know?]

Quirrell panicked.

Lance just wanted to say that of course he knew, because he had been an amateur drummer for a while in college.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

If he said it directly, wouldn't he be declaring his identity now, that he is a human being

Lance was momentarily at a loss for words.

[drum?]

At this time, Wenser suddenly interrupted, even if he broke the embarrassment at this moment.

Winsor looked at Quirrell in front of him thoughtfully, and asked:

[That is to say, on the one hand, you say you hate humans, but in fact, on the other hand, you can't help but love human things?]

Lance looked at Winsor in surprise.

Wow, Winsor is so sharp.

Then, he was a little cautious—

If Winsor knew he was human, would he hate him

As for what Wenser said, if it was true, wouldn't that mean, Quirrell, it was particularly complicated

Does it have a love-hate relationship with human emotions, to be precise

After listening to Wenser's words, Quirrell shook the eighteen tentacles, which were so tangled that they twisted themselves into twists.

In fact, it has been struggling with this problem all the time, but because it dare not face humans directly, Quirrell has not known what he thinks about humans until now.

Wenser stepped forward, twisted Quirrell back, and ordered lightly:

[Take us to the place where you beat the drum.]

Lance was stunned for a moment. He leaned over to Wenser and asked in a low voice:

"Why do we go where it beats the drum?"

Winsor touched Lance's head and explained:

"Because there is nothing we are looking for here, it is very likely that the ship was taken by Quirrell for other purposes."

Quirrell didn't want to take Lance and the others, but...

an hour later.

Quirrell brought Winsor and Lance to a strangely arranged place.

The reason why it is said to be strange is that this is an open space, with the bottom of the sunken ship facing upwards, and a circle is formed around the center.

Moreover, the placement of these sunken ships is also very interesting, high and low, and it seems that the position of each sunken ship has been carefully arranged.

Lance looked at this strange arrangement, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Quirrell.

The secret base was visited by people, and people looked at it with such eyes. Quirrell was fried directly, and his whole body was fried like octopus ham in a frying pan:

[What kind of eyes do you have? I even asked you to come here.]

[You really are practicing drumming.]

Lance couldn't help laughing as he imagined Quirrell wielding a drumstick with eighteen tentacles.

[you you you you-]

Quirrell turned red for a while, and blue for a while, and it angrily dropped a sentence,

[Find it yourself.]

Then, get ready to run away.

[That was not what I meant!]

Seeing that Quirrell was furious, Lance quickly stepped forward to stop him. He embarrassedly buttoned his dimples and said,

[Actually, I used to be a drummer.]

Winsor and Quirrell looked at Lance all at once.

Winsor's eyes were puzzled, while Quirrell's eyes were shining.

Under the gaze of a mermaid and a jelly, Lance flicked his tail, then puffed out his chest:

[Don't believe it? I let you see and see!]

After speaking, Lance got busy.

Lance first asked Quirrell to help him find a few iron basin-like things and set them up.

Then, with good luck, he found two sticks that barely served as drumsticks.

[Okay, I'm starting!]

Lance pushed Winsor and Quirrell to one side of the auditorium, then he confidently turned the "drumstick" in his hand and began to beat the "simple" drum stand in front of him.

The drum stand is really too simple, and Lance can only barely adjust it according to the tone, and finally use this "simple" drum stand to play a short section of rhythmic drum beats, but he has not forgotten the tradition in college——

After beating, the drummer folds the drumsticks.

"what!"

After the performance, Lance forgot himself for a while and folded the drumstick, but he forgot that the drumstick was iron. He folded it for a long time, and the drumstick didn't even bend.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Lance threw the drumsticks behind him pretending to be cool, and then stroked his long hair in a rock-and-roll style, letting his long white hair float in the sea, which is a bit like killing Matt when he was playing rock and roll Crazy.

After the performance, Lance couldn't wait to ask:

[How about it?]

[Great! ! ! !]

Quirrell used all his eighteen tentacles and applauded frantically, [Yes, yes, this is the style!]

It turned itself pink and looked disgusting and cute:

[Master, you are indeed a master!]

[Where is there.]

Lance waved his hand shyly and said, [If there is an authentic drum stand here, I can definitely make it better.]

As an amateur drummer, Lance can't say how well he beats, but at least he can crush the sea monster.

Wenser tilted his head, watching Lance and Quirrell recognize each other because of the resonance of "Drummer", he had a blank expression on his face.

Sometimes, his little fish's communication ability is really much better than he imagined.

Before, I didn't like each other with Quirrell, and even the interaction was hypocritical. As a result, now, a mermaid and a sea monster are like meeting each other late.

Winsor couldn't help thinking of the big jellyfish he met before, and began to worry whether his little fish was too popular.

[can you teach me?]

Quirrell shook his eighteen tentacles and said,

[You were so handsome when you turned the drumstick just now, just, just like that, can you teach me?]

Sure enough, all drummers can't resist the temptation to play drumsticks fancy.

Lance looked up noblely:

[Yes, but you have to help me find the boat I'm looking for first.]

[No problem, leave it to me.]

At this moment, Quirrell seemed to have had his blood pumped, and he immediately vowed, [I'll find it for you.]

With the previous non-violent non-cooperation, it has formed two extremes.

As soon as the voice fell, Quirrell began to swell in front of Lance.

The speed was so fast, it was like being blown up by a balloon.

Lance watched this scene in surprise, until he was pulled away by Wenther and came to a relatively safe place.

Quirrell swelled to its normal size before—

It's as tall as a five-story building.

Immediately afterwards, Quirrell's eighteen tentacles fully fired, and used the tentacles to place the nearby ships one by one, and then used the peas to find the name of the ship.

Lance stared dumbfounded.

If he used this method earlier, he wouldn't have to look for it for so long.

"Good knock."

When Lance was watching Quirrell brutally looking for the sunken ship, Wenser, who had been staying next to Lance, suddenly said these words lightly.

Lance came back to his senses all of a sudden. After hearing Wenser's praise, he was not happy, but rather melancholy.

Because what he did just now was to reveal Wenser's identity as a human being in front of Wenser's face.

Although this is his intention, it is inevitable that there will be a little sadness.

"Like it?"

Lance didn't want Winsor to know his sadness, so he pulled himself together, pretended to be happy after being praised, and asked.

Winsor thought for a while and said:

"Actually, I prefer the piano."

"Steel, piano?"

Lance was surprised, "How do you know the piano?"

Wenser's eyes deepened. He was about to say something when a shout from a distance interrupted Wenser's words—

[I found it, the Queen Mary!]

The 18-clawed fish in the distance, dragging a sunken ship, roared full of air.
