Looking at the few mermaids who were still looking at him with anticipation and apprehension, Hao Ritian thought about Shang Shang's argument again, and finally stopped the words of refusal.
It makes sense to think about what Shang said. The reason why these mermaids consider him king is simply because they feel his strength. In addition, he exposed his tail to the outside. The current situation of the mermaid tribe is basically It's not good, if it continues like this, it won't be surprising even if the clan is exterminated. In the eyes of these mermaids, he is now equivalent to a savior.
He originally planned to help these unlucky mermaids by the way, but now he was mistakenly regarded as the king. Taking advantage of this status, it seems more convenient to want to help.
Raising his eyebrows, Hao Ritian didn't reject them under the eager gaze of the mermaids. He nodded his head lightly and asked them, "What are you going to do next?"
He still spoke the language used by humans, but the few mermaids could understand what he was saying, and Hao Ritian's promise made them feel that they had a kind of support. After Hao Ritian's words fell behind, Huo Yan's parents acted The representative began to communicate with Hao Ritian.
His voice sounds very nice, but the content is not so wonderful.
"It's all up to the king to decide!"
As soon as these five words came out, perhaps he himself didn't feel embarrassed, as if he was relying on the king to let the king be in charge of them, so he explained the situation of their mermaids in more detail.
Seeing that he had a tendency to speak at length, Hao Ritian raised his hand and said to them, "Sit down and talk."
It's unbearable to stand in front of the tail and look at it.
As a result, this simple order moved the six mermaids immediately. Huo Yan's mother and father, the blue-purple mermaid named Carl, sorted out their emotions and immediately began to report the situation to the king Hao Ritian.
Karl was the first batch of mermaids captured, and he gave birth to four children. Huo Yan was the youngest and the only one who got close to him. The mermaids never had the so-called equal treatment. The children under the age may not be able to have some respect for them.
So Karl felt very lucky to have a child who was close to him like Huo Yan, and he felt that all the suffering he had suffered for so many years was worth it for this child.
But this does not mean that Karl is satisfied with his current situation. Not only him, but also his companions who were also caught also want to escape. They don't want to be treated as reproduction tools, let alone be an ornamental mermaid. They like the sea. Yearning for the sea, wanting to return to the sea and live with the same race.
But the mermaid family is really too weak. They don't have the powerful ability of the orcs themselves, nor do they have all kinds of high technology of human beings. Apart from being beautiful and good-sounding, they have no self-protection ability at all, even if they want to save them. The same family members can only end up being caught in the end.
After that, they would not let any of their clansmen come to rescue them. Only by finding a way to save themselves would they not let all their clansmen be arrested.
But it is not easy to escape. It has been more than ten years since the mermaid was discovered, and no mermaid has ever been able to escape. The mermaid has no legs, and after arriving on land, it is under strict supervision. It is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Not only that, but they are also forced to participate in some experiments. The number of mermaids is limited. In order for more people to have mermaids, some mermaid transformation experiments will naturally be carried out. These real mermaids are templates and cannot escape the fate of being studied.
Karl was a little luckier. After he was captured, he was dedicated to a city lord. How could the lord of the city still have some power? Before this, he had never participated in the experiment, but that was all. He was brought out, and Hao Ritian happened to help him, so he is probably already in the laboratory now.
And these fellow races with him have all participated in the experiment, and every time they participate in the experiment, it consumes their lifespan. Even if the mermaids have a longer lifespan than humans, they can't afford such a waste.
Not to mention the mermaids who were unlucky and died in the experiment. It can be said that almost none of their mermaids can see their heads. Those who are caught can only be forced to bear it, and those who are not caught can only hide carefully to survive. In case they are found There is only one end of being arrested.
Speaking of the sad part, Karl couldn't help tears from the corners of his eyes, and those tears condensed into small pearls and rolled down, which attracted Hao Ritian's sight fiercely. It turns out that the tears of a mermaid can turn into The pearl is actually real, isn't the mermaid a walking rich man? !
—The point of attention is a bit crooked for a while!
However, after Karl saw Hao Ritian's eyes falling on his own teardrops, he subconsciously felt that his posture was inappropriate. What's the matter with letting Wang watch him cry? This subordinate will definitely not cry again in the future, but according to the king's order, this subordinate will definitely do its best to fulfill the king's order."
He never cried before.
After Karl's words fell behind, the other five mermaids also nodded fiercely. They all wanted to express themselves in front of the king, but unfortunately they didn't know what to do. Although they suffered so much damage, the mermaids were still very simple on the whole.
Huo Yan looked at his mother and father distressedly from the side, obviously he was still a little kid, but because of the living environment, he turned into the precocious appearance he is now, it is really embarrassing to watch!
Hao Ritian had a panoramic view of all this. Although he didn't know why Karl suddenly swore his loyalty, since he had decided to deal with it to the end, he wouldn't take Joe too much.
After thinking about it, he asked Carl a key question, "Except for you captured mermaids, do you know where the rest of their tribe are?"
As soon as this question came up, Carlton looked hesitant, but he replied without hesitation, "Return to the king, in order to prevent humans from asking us about the tribe, each of our captured mermaids does not know the rest of the tribe. Where did you go?"
If he knew, if he was tortured into a trick, wouldn't it harm the clansman? !
It is precisely because of this consideration that they all refuse to know where the safe clansmen are. As long as no clansmen are arrested again, they can comfort their clansmen to live safely in places they cannot see.
Karl hesitated only because he just said that he would be loyal to the king, but he couldn't answer any of the king's questions, and felt that he was too useless.
But in fact, Hao Ritian just asked casually, and it doesn’t matter if he can’t ask anything. When Carl lowered his eyes guiltily and almost knelt down to plead guilty, he said casually, “It’s okay if I don’t know. Follow me, now you go to rest first, you can choose any room in the spaceship, go!"
A few mermaids look at each other, and in the end it was Huo Yan who took the lead and led his mother, father and several other mermaids to the room to rest.
Maybe because of the extreme lack of sense of security, even if Hao Ritian said that they can choose a room to rest at will, they still gathered in one room in the end, so that they would be more at ease together.
When finally only the two of them were left, Hao Ritian sighed, "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing during a vacation. I really can't take it easy!"
Shang laughed immediately when he said that, "If you really don't want to care about throwing your hands, it's okay. Every world has its own development process. In this world, the mermaid race has not appeared for a short time, and the race hasn't developed yet. I haven't discovered my personal abilities yet, and it all takes a process. It can be said that the mermaid tribe appeared because of the problem of reproduction, but humans and orcs didn't coordinate their relationship with each other. According to normal development, the mermaid tribe will definitely rise in the future, but It takes time, and humans and orcs can only learn to cherish it after learning the lesson, but if you intervene, this process will be pushed forward a lot."
Hao Ritian flicked his own tail, "Forget it, maybe I became a mermaid because of my fate with the mermaid tribe. Besides, their situation is really miserable, so please help me if you can."
Shang knew that his partner was still very soft in his heart, otherwise he would not have helped because he couldn't see it. He was here for vacation, so he naturally supported his partner's choice for no reason, "Okay, what do you want?" Just do it."
Hao Ritian raised his eyebrows, "Where did you go before?"
Don't think that he doesn't care if he doesn't ask, he can be picked up by Cook, so Lao Gong won't be picked up by anyone, right
Unexpectedly, when he asked this question, Shang's expression was a little awkward. Hao Ritian, who just wanted to know something, became interested, changed his position in Shang's arms, leaned in front of him, and faced him face to face, " Hmm? What's going on?"
Anyway, there are people who have meat pads, so he is not in a hurry to take back the tail for the time being, and he is quite contented with flicking it.
Shang met his partner's enthusiastic eyes, and he had to say something if he didn't want to, but before he said it, he took a bite of the tip of his nose in front of him, and used electricity, leaving a little tooth mark on it, and then Then he said, "Actually, I was caught by the mermaid."
It's a bit shameful to say this. As the manager of this world, it's a bit embarrassing to be caught by the weakest mermaid.
"Huh?" Hao Ritian looked brighter, "What's going on, please explain in detail."
It's really unexpected. Looking at Shang's embarrassed expression, Hao Ritian acted as if he had grabbed his pigtail. Not only did he not feel sorry for him, but he admired the embarrassment on his face as if he was watching the fun. This is also a little fun between partners. !
Shang gave him a helpless look, but still told him the truth about what happened to him.
Speaking of which, Shang was also suspected of 'self-inflicted', he had a little bit of thought, in order to see Hao Ritian turned into a mermaid state, he deliberately didn't remind him of the changes that might be brought about by entering this world, and proved that he also succeeded in due course, because he got his wish I saw Hao Ritian's mermaid form, and I'm still hugging him now!
It's a pity that he missed one point, that is, Hao Ritian's uncontrollable power also affected him. Who made them share the same power? It fell into the Mona Sea, and was captured by the mermaid hiding in the dark, and it was still tied up!
Although he found Hao Ritian soon after waking up, it still couldn't cover up the fact that he was caught by a mermaid. When he told Hao Ritian about this fact, Shang couldn't help touching the tip of his nose, not to mention his expression.
"Hahahaha, you have this day too, you deserve it!" Hao Ritian laughed undisguisedly, perhaps because of the changes in his body, his voice has become more mermaid-like. Before, his voice was deep and magnetic. , but now it sounds neutral and melodious.
The hand around Hao Ritian's waist tightened, Shang's eyes were full of connivance, forget it, amusing his partner is a reward, if you lose face, you will lose face!
Smiling so happily, Hao Ritian felt that some tears were coming out of the corners of his eyes. He just wanted to wipe them away, but the tears turned into pearls, and Shang caught them in his palm in time, and held them in front of his eyes for him to see, round and round. And shining brightly.
Hao Ritian, "..."
What the fuck, he has been assimilated too thoroughly, right? !
He coughed, pretending to be nonchalant, and wanted to take the pearl over and then destroy it. The idea was good, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Shang closed his palm and said to him with a joking smile, "I'll help you." You keep it."
Hao Ritian, "..."
Black history! ! !
But just now I also saw Shang’s joke that it’s just a pearl, so keep it for safekeeping.
"Isn't there no more mermaids in Mona Sea? Have you met mermaids there?" Hao Ritian is currently more concerned about this question.
"Well, it's not a lie to say that there are no mermaids in Mona Sea. No matter how simple a mermaid is, they will be a little bit smarter if they are captured one after another. Mona Sea is just one of the entrances where those mermaids are located. Otherwise, I will take you first. Go there and have a look?" Shang suggested.
How can you say that your partner is currently the king of the mermaid clan? How can you be a king without knowing the territory of the mermaid clan? !
Hao Ritian nodded, "That's it."
After the two made a decision, the spaceship headed for the Mona Sea purposefully.
After flying at full speed for four days, I finally arrived at the Mona Sea.
But there are guards from the Meier family around the Mona Sea, and they are much stricter than when Shang left the Mona Sea, and the reason is already clear.
Hao Ritian was picked up by Cook Meyer, and then he put Cook down and left. In Cook's eyes, Hao Ritian is a mermaid. Those guarding the Mona Sea should strengthen their defenses, and if they find any traces of the black-tailed mermaid, they must report it in time.
"My lord, there are many people, what should we do?" Huo Yan followed behind Hao Ritian, his little face was full of nervousness.
Because of the experience of being raided all over the city, he has some shadows about such a scene. As for the other mermaids, they were all sent to the storage space, which would save trouble.
Hao Ritian's fish tail has turned into human legs again. After all, legs are much more convenient than tails. Seeing that Huo Yan was trembling slightly because of his nervousness, he immediately taught, "What are you afraid of? You even do things like hiding mermaids. Are you still afraid of those little shrimps?"
There was a taste of ridicule in the tone, but it also made Huo Yan relax.
Huo Yan subconsciously remembered how blind the guards were when Hao Ritian took him away from the city where he grew up. With the ability of an adult, this little problem naturally wouldn't bother him.
Figured it out, Huo Yan calmed down quickly. Judging from the child's age, his reaction was really good. It was precisely because of this that Hao Ritian took Huo Yan with him. Karl's relationship, if this kid is well trained, he may be of great help to the mermaid clan.
Because I learned from several mermaids such as Huo Yan and Karl that not all people are so inhumane. On the contrary, some people also have goodwill towards them, but it is a pity that few people have any kindness towards mermaids. Well-meaning people have little power and status, but the upper echelons of human beings only use mermaids as reproductive tools.
The same is true for the Beastman Empire.
To sum it up, there are too few people with good intentions towards mermaids, and their status is too low. If this situation can be changed, the mermaids will also be much better off.
Hao Ritian was quite satisfied with the kid Huo Yan.
He didn't even wait until night to act again, and easily took Huo Yan to escape the guards, and then dived into the Mona Sea.
This sea area is usually very calm, but when the weather is bad, there is a high chance of shipwreck, just because many mermaids were caught from here, this area has become a place that only nobles have the right to approach. Until no more mermaids could be caught from here, this place gradually became deserted.
But who made Cook lucky to pick up Hao Ritian here some time ago, and Cook, who thought that there would be a mermaid here again, asked people to strictly guard this place.
Otherwise it should be pretty deserted.
When the mermaid entered the sea, it was like returning home. After entering the sea, Huo Yan immediately released his mother, father, and others. As soon as Carl and the mermaid came out, they swam happily with their tails. That graceful figure, The brisk gestures all reveal their own joy.
Six mermaids of different colors swam happily for a while, and each other's eyes were full of excitement. Since they were caught, they have never enjoyed such a free feeling, most of them are bubbles in the bathtub and swimming pool Water, no matter how big a swimming pool is, can't compare with the sea to give them a sense of belonging.
Karl was still enjoying the rare freedom, but seemed to think of something, and suddenly froze, and then quickly turned around and swam to Huo Yan's side.
At this time, Huo Yan had already started to hold his breath. He inherited a part of Karl's blood, but he was still a human being. He couldn't breathe freely like a mermaid in the sea. He was already amazing if he could maintain it until now.
When Karl saw Huo Yan's breathless face start to turn red, his eyes quickly flashed with annoyance, then he took out a thumb-sized pearl and stuffed it into Huo Yan's mouth, and said to him at the same time, "Keep it in your mouth , These are water-repelling beads, you can breathe with them in your mouth."
No need for Karl's explanation, after the beads were stuffed into his mouth, Huo Yan instantly felt a lot more relaxed. Even though he was in the water, he didn't feel any uncomfortable feeling, which was very novel.
As for Hao Ritian, the moment he entered the sea, he also turned his legs back into fish tails, and the big fish tails naturally swayed, and he could go far away with a swish.
Although Shang didn't have a fish tail, he was not affected at all in the sea. After Hao Ritian ran out with his fish tail, he quickly followed up. With the fish tail swung away, Shang's eyes gleamed with a dull light, and what he wanted most was the feeling of pressing his partner in this state under him.
As soon as Hao Ritian turned his head, he saw the subtle change in his eyes, a teasing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he gave him a look of "catch up" and then accelerated again, but the person who blinked was already more than ten feet away.
Shang raised his eyebrows, accepted this 'challenge', and jumped up to catch up with him. Every time he looked at him, he seemed to appear at a certain point in front of him out of thin air, and his speed was no slower than Hao Ritian.
Seeing this, Karl embraced Huo Yan with one hand, and gestured to his companions with the other hand, and they followed quickly.
This follow lasted for several hours, from dawn to dark, it was still the result of hard work, if you didn't go all out, you might be thrown away halfway.
"Wang, can you take a rest for a while, Xiaoyan is a human being, and his body won't be able to bear such a long journey." Karl sent a voice transmission to Hao Ritian through a special frequency band.
There are so many ways for mermaids to communicate in the sea. Even if they are far away, they can communicate with each other using a unique frequency band. This is a unique ability of mermaids.
Hao Ritian finally slowed down when he heard the sound transmission, and was immediately caught by Shang.
Are you saying that Shang really can't keep up with Hao Ritian
Of course it was impossible, he just regarded it as a simple little game.
And the direction he was heading was still following Shang's instructions.
The two of them slowed down, and Karl and others who followed behind caught up. Karl still had a bit of guilt on his face. He felt guilty that he had dragged everyone down, but he didn't regret it at all. After all, his son was more important.
They swam at such a fast speed for several hours, and now they are out of the depths of the Mona Sea. As for the exact location, they are not sure. Even if a submarine goes down to find them, I am afraid they will have to dive to an extremely deep depth. position to be able to see them.
There are large areas of coral colonies deep in the seabed. Those coral colonies illuminate the deep and dark seabed, and clearly show many marine life such as various fishes, large rocks, and jellyfish that occasionally drift by. It's like a natural aquarium, very beautiful.
"King, I'm going to find a suitable place to rest..." Karl took the initiative to take on this task because of guilt.
Although he didn't come back for a long time, but he lived here for a long time before, coupled with the mermaid's natural understanding of the sea, he could easily find a suitable place to rest at night.
But this proposal was rejected by Shang, "No need."
He looked at some very hidden spots of light around him. Those spots flickered according to certain rules. Against the background of glowing corals and other glowing marine life, those spots had a particularly weak sense of existence, and most people wouldn't know them. noticed.
Shang looked at those light spots and curled his lips, and said to Karl and the others who were puzzled and dazed, "Wait for your clansmen to pick you up!"
Carl and the others were a little depressed when they heard the words, because they had no longer lived in this sea area, but Shang was the king's partner in their eyes, that was the king's husband, and naturally he wanted to listen to what the king said. So despite being depressed, Carl responded, "Yes."
For their depression, Shang didn't mean to explain in detail, but chose a smooth big rock and took Hao Ritian to sit on it, and the two just enjoyed the scenery of the seabed.
