"I think you're very beautiful."
Chapter 7 What do you want to do to me
In the water dungeon, the mermaid and the young man looked at each other.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment~"
The mermaid smiled happily when she heard the boy's praise. Her tail, which was shining with colorful light underwater, swayed slowly. She blinked at him, and her voice became even sweeter.
"Come, come closer, let me take a good look at you~"
She called out in a sweet voice with a shy blush on her face. She looked so gentle, like a young girl looking at her lover who was deeply in love.
However, deep in her eyes, there was no emotion that could be called sweet.
The dark blue eyes were cold and deep, just like a seemingly tranquil but turbulent sea.
Foolish and greedy mortals.
Come closer.
I will let you know what the price will be if you despise the sea...
Looking at the boy who was really leaning forward, the sarcasm in her eyes became even stronger, but she still asked gently: "Then what? What are you going to do to me?"
Just when she was about to reveal her hideous self, for some reason, she suddenly hesitated.
He may be innocent.
She didn't know where this pity came from, but she didn't want to kill him just like that.
Then it's... such a pity.
Just as she was struggling with this, she heard the boy's answer.
He said:
"What then? Nothing. I don't have a fish tank that big at home."
"Oh, you're going to do this to me... huh?" Miss Mermaid was completely stunned. "Fish tank?"
"What's the problem? You can't be without water?"
Mermaid: "... huh?"
Boy: “Hmm?”
Mermaid: "Uh..."
She had thought of many answers that Herbert might give, obscene, crazy, greedy...but she had never thought of such a rational one.
God damn fish tank!
I never expected to get such an answer.
Whose legendary siren would be short of water?!
Are you sick... huh
wrong.
Wait a moment!
She suddenly realized something and looked at Herbert, whose eyes were clear, in surprise: "You are not charmed by my voice?"
"Your voice is also very nice." Herbert tilted his head and said as a matter of course: "It's just a little too high. You could speak more normally."
No kidding.
With this sweet voice, if she puts on a costume and sings as a virtual anchor, it will definitely make fans rave about gold coins.
It’s just that Herbert doesn’t like that kind of squeezing, like “Little windmill, whirring!” When he hears it, apart from feeling physically uncomfortable, there is no other physiological reaction.
After hearing this, the only part of my body that stood hard was my fists.
Based on Miss Mermaid's performance just now, he could only give her seven points out of ten.
Normal. (Pull up your pants)
"No, you..."
The mermaid narrowed her eyes and looked closely into the boy's eyes. She indeed saw no signs of being enchanted.
Are you really not infected
But again, there is something wrong with this.
"Then what you just said..."
“These are all true words.”
Herbert didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
No matter how you look at this Miss Siren, she is very much in line with human aesthetics.
Although some inhuman features can be seen, such as slightly sharp fingertips and teeth, and a thin layer of liquid covering the body surface can be seen when it emerges from the water...
But no matter how you look at it, it looks very much like the mermaid, a fantasy creature from human legends.
Nice looking, love watching it.
Of course, Herbert actually knew the prisoner's true identity.
This is not some pretty little sister with a sweet voice.
[Singer of the End], [Howl of Death], [Glacier of Sorrow]—Freme Keya.
Three hundred years ago, this terrifying sea monster single-handedly caused hundreds of sailors and fishermen to commit suicide by drowning, and turned several fishing ports into deserted cities.
From Freme's expression at the moment, he guessed that she had no good intentions in her mind, and most likely wanted to lure him to her side and kill him.
You are all so cruel.
I'm just a newbie Paladin, do you think I'm that new
"So, what were you going to do to me?"
At this moment, Herbert stared at Freme with some resentment.
The mermaid was silent for a while and then looked away silently. She said awkwardly, "Ahem... No, nothing!"
"I didn't want to drown you... I didn't!"
.

Under the Misty Monastery, the sealed sanctuary.
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, why are you here? It shouldn't be time for rotation yet, right?"
The red-robed monk with hundreds of rusty rivets piercing his body slowly opened his eyes and looked at the old man in linen robe who had appeared beside him. When he frowned slightly, two rivets collided with each other, making a strange trembling sound.
"Is there anything unusual during this period?"
The old man did not explain, but stared at the stone statue in the center of the seal array with calm eyes that showed no emotion.
The stone statue that looked like a kneeling girl was only half a person's height. Her face seemed to have been eroded by wind and sand over the long years. One could only vaguely see her head lowered in devout prayer.
The seal of the saint - the blasphemous prayer statue.
“…He awoke twice.”
"when?"
"The first time was in the early morning of a month ago and lasted for two minutes. The second time was at noon the day before yesterday and lasted for thirty seconds."
"I see."
The conversation between the two was eerily calm. There was no fluctuation in their voices at all, and they didn't take the awakening of the sealed object seriously at all.
"You go and rest. Keep an eye out for any deceived monks. I will be the one guarding the place during this time."
"… yes."
It was against the rules to make substitutions before the time was up, but Bishop Rusty Nail did not ask.
The Archbishop certainly has his reasons for doing this.
This person is a saint walking in the mortal world, a legendary being to whom even gods condescend to smile.
What's more, even the Misty Monastery was founded by the Archbishop himself, and his words are the supreme rules.
After Bishop Rusty Nail left, the Archbishop sat cross-legged, stared at the statue and spoke slowly: "I know you are not asleep."
"What did you notice?"
"What do you want to do?"
The archbishop asked silently for a long time, and from beginning to end, the sanctuary was silent with only his voice echoing.
The statues did not give him any response.
Ancient and silent.
Finally, the archbishop closed his eyes helplessly and calmly made his final announcement.
"No matter what you want to do, as long as I am here, your conspiracy will never succeed."
The archbishop's voice was flat and sounded non-intimidating, but at this moment, it seemed to cause some invisible subtle changes in the entire space.
He said:
"I won't let you hurt anyone."
.
.
Midnight.
In the dim room with only one candle lit, the boy silently wrote down a paragraph in his open notebook.
"Pen Fairy Pen Fairy! You are my past life, and I am your present life. If you want to continue your relationship with me, please draw a circle on the paper."
The next second, his left hand slowly moved, drawing a perfect arc above...
brush.
Chapter 8 Qualifications to negotiate terms
"I encountered the Elegy Mermaid in the alien prison. She was as strong as a monster with high attack and high HP. I couldn't defeat her no matter how hard I tried!"
"My disciple is incompetent, I beg the ancestor to help me!"
"Goddess, please save me! Please give me a hand! Why are you just looking at me, Goddess?"
Lord Harmony did not seem to expect Herbert to react like this. He asked three question marks in succession and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
[…Speak human language.]
Please be normal, I'm a little scared.
I finally met someone I could communicate with, why is it like this
Herbert curled his lips, but finally gave up.
Although it's really fun to get the skin down.
"Oh, so, I met a legendary siren today, and she wanted to control my mind, but guess what?"
"Hey! Not only was I not affected by her singing, she was actually very nice to me and wanted to give me a loving hug! Amazing, right?"
"So, do you have any idea about this matter?"
[Did you notice?]
