“Can anyone understand what these fish are saying?”
Looking at the poor mermaids below who were chirping non-stop and wanted to get closer to the ship but didn't dare, Sidlifa asked a little irritably.
"They are mermaids, not fish." Nora saw what Sidlifa was thinking (fishing) at a glance, "Don't hunt them as whales."
"To be exact, it's the Siren." Medea said as she came out of the cabin.
With her sudden appearance, everyone realized belatedly that Medea seemed to have not come out for the past few days. She was hiding in the alchemy room of Hearthfire Island Manor, tinkering with something.
"Siren?" Sheila had also heard of this name.
There used to be many of these creatures in the Aegean Sea. They liked to sit on the rocks and sing, inducing sailors from nearby ships to jump into the sea and drown. In addition, I heard that the main material of "Desire II" seems to come from the Siren.
However, with the prosperity of the Eastern Solomon Empire in the Fourth Period, the extraordinary creatures in the Aegean Sea, such as sirens, harpies, and minotaurs, were basically hunted to death, so Shira had never seen these monsters.
"Okay." Sidlifa pulled her long white hair and said distressedly, "Is there anyone who can understand what these, uh, Siren, are talking about?"
"I can," Medea said confidently.
"Do you understand Siren language?" Sheila asked in surprise.
"No." Medea smiled faintly, "I can only read minds."
Mind reading... Oh, mind reading! Nora suddenly understood.
As we all know, thoughts are not entirely made up of language. For example, when people think of bread, what comes to mind is not the word "bread", but some object in memory that represents bread.
For example, if someone likes croissants, the first thing that comes to mind is the shape of the croissant; if someone likes bagels, the first thing that comes to mind is bagels.
In other words, even if the people of the Blue Sword do not understand the pronunciation of "bread" in the mermaid language, as long as they read the thoughts of these mermaids, they can know the specific meaning of their gibberish.
You can even learn the mermaid language... although it doesn't seem to make any sense.
So the two psychics began to read minds and translate for everyone.
"Powerful land people!" the mermaids chattered, "We have surrendered to you, please don't kill us!"
What a simple and unadorned answer... Ask thought so and said:
"Calm them down."
Nora and Medea then exerted group mental suggestion, and soon these mermaids seemed to have received assurances, and their originally uneasy expressions gradually relaxed.
After some general communication with these mermaids, everyone learned that they actually lived in the waters near the Azores and had lived here for thousands of years.
As for why they stopped the Blue Sword's ship, it was because... they had offended the descendants of the Sea God.
"Poseidon?" The girls were puzzled. When did we offend the Poseidon
However, Nora soon got the answer from the mermaid's thoughts: the offspring of Poseidon was the offspring of Leviathan and a giant whale. Its body size was similar to that of a slightly larger whale, but it possessed the strong vitality unique to Leviathan.
