"Your Highness, Princess." Yun Qingyan looked at the mermaid princess with a smile.
People are always more patient with beautiful things, and she is no exception.
From the fact that this princess is willing to exchange precious sea pearls for the lives of her people, it can be seen that she is actually not bad at heart.
"Yes." When Yun Qingyan suddenly called out, the mermaid princess was stunned and nodded quickly, very nervously.
She saw that the powerful mermaid obeyed the words of this human girl, and subconsciously thought that Yun Qingyan was even more powerful than Qing Yan.
"Can you tell me what your sacrifice is about?" Yun Qingyan leaned lazily on the side of the boat railing, tapping the railing with his fingers, squinting his eyes lightly, and for a moment there seemed to be a sharp light. Shooting out of eyes.
She guessed that this matter must be related to the Lord of Illusion Qian Huan and the matter of 'reincarnation' in Emperor Jiuque.
As soon as she said this, a dark look appeared on the mermaid princess's face.
"In your human legends, we mermaids should be a race famous for our beautiful singing voices, right?"
"There is indeed such a thing." Yun Qingyan nodded firmly.
"However, our race has lost this ability." The mermaid princess smiled bitterly, with a pitiful sadness on her beautiful face, "We are cursed mermaids, trapped in this sea for generations. Can't leave.
Not only that, except for the royal family, all other mermaids will lose the racial skill of singing.
My people cannot make pleasant and beautiful songs like normal mermaids. They can only make rough, harsh, and sharp sounds. What they bring to the Sea Clan is not comforting power. They can only make the Sea Clan violent and violent. out of control. "
Yun Qingyan's mouth twitched. No wonder the voices of the mermaid elders were so harsh and unpleasant. She thought their throats had been gnawed by dogs, but she didn't expect that they were cursed.
"Not only that, every one of us mermaids, except for the high priest who listens to God's will, no mermaid can break through to the divine level.
Moreover, every royal family could not live more than a hundred years. "The mermaid princess continued.
One hundred years is considered a long life for an ordinary human, but for a mermaid who is a humanoid monster, it is just a drop in the ocean of their long life.
Humanoid monsters like mermaids generally have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. It is not difficult to break through to the divine level. For monsters, advancement also means an increase in life span.
This curse not only limits their range of activities, but also limits their racial lifespan, which is very cruel.
"What about your god? Who is he? What does this have to do with sacrifices?" Yun Qingyan vaguely guessed that the god mentioned by the mermaid was Qian Huan.
But Huang Yan once told her that Qian Huan had been dead for a long time.
"I don't know." The mermaid princess shook her head, "Only the high priest can listen to God's will, not other mermaids, even the royal family.
I have only heard that the high priest once pronounced the decree of God..."
"What did the god in your mouth say?" Yun Qingyan took advantage of the victory to pursue.
The mermaid princess bit her red lips and glanced at Qingyan hesitantly, but Qingyan ignored her at all. He was immersed in Yun Qingyan's hair without even raising his head.
Yun Qingyan knew that this decree was probably related to Emperor Jiuque.
"God said that one day in the future, a strange mermaid may appear in the forbidden land.
He is sin incarnate. We need to capture it, imprison it on the altar as a sacrifice to God, and bleed it every day to wash away his sins with his blood.
When he disappears, the curse of my tribe will naturally be broken. My tribe and I will be able to travel to wider seas, and my tribe will be able to restore the singing voice of the mermaid. "
The mermaid princess finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Qingyan with great fear, "Your Excellency, I mean no offense to you."
After seeing Qingyan's powerful fighting power, the last trace of delusion in her heart about breaking the curse disappeared.
This god's will has been passed down for who knows how many years, and the mermaids have changed one batch after another. Although they are yearning for the outside world, they have actually adapted to the life here.
