Kerry never believed that his own efforts could bring hope to his future destiny.
Being born into a noble family is something that no one can ask for. But as a concubine from a noble family, he has no magic power and no background in his mother's family. He is not as good as a carefree child from an ordinary family.
Every time he was beaten, who would worry about this young master who did nothing
[This kid can't even form his own mercenary team, he has no future. ]
This was when he was young and had just learned to speak. His father, the kind and kind gentleman to all his brothers and sisters, made this conclusion to him who was ignorant.
From the start, he was given up.
The cold touch on his face was still rubbing slowly. Kerry's pupils flickered a few times and his somewhat white lips moved a few times.
"Can I take you with me?"
The hand that was healing his wound suddenly paused. Qi Yan looked into his hopeful eyes with a hint of alienation on his face: "A mermaid can't leave the water."
"Ah!" Kerry shouted in panic: "I'm sorry, I forgot!"
Afraid that the mermaid would be alienated from him, Kerry reached down further. As soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by a voice on the beach in the distance.
"Is anyone there?"
It was a girl's voice, clear and sweet, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her expression.
The moment the sound sounded, Qi Yan turned around and jumped into the water. No word was left for Kerry, and no movement was made. It was just as silent as when it came.
Kerry felt endless disappointment in his heart, but he was not a fool and did not cry out. If others knew that there were mermaids here, they would use all possible means to capture Qi Yan.
On the continent of Erli, mermaids are a rare race. Not only is it rare, it is also very mysterious. Some people may live their entire lives without seeing a mermaid. It is precisely because of this that some adventurers aim to catch mermaids. The live mermaids they catch will be kept in aquariums in museums for people to watch. If the mermaids die accidentally during the capture, then the mermaids will be killed. Make specimens.
Kerry remembered that when a young nobleman came to curry favor with Count Hilal, he brought an injured mermaid. Earl Hilal was overjoyed and paved a lot of paths for the little nobleman, although the mermaid died within a few days due to injuries.
In the words of Count Hilal, the mermaid is the noble lord's pet.
Maybe it's because Kerry's life is not as good as that of a 'pet' mermaid, so he doesn't think so.
Especially after meeting Qi Yan, he hoped to have a mermaid, not as a pet, but as a friend.
[Kerry's favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 20]
When I first met a mermaid, my basic favorability level was already ten points.
Kerry stood up from the rock as if he was done admiring the moon, shook off the gravel from his body, turned around and faced the visitor.
"I'm admiring the moon here, what do you want?" Kerry met Nasha's crystal clear gaze, and a moment of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment.
With Qi Yan as the foreshadowing, even the beautiful person cannot shake his position in Kerry's heart.
Nasha's childish face could not conceal her charming delicacy, and her sweet and pure smile shined particularly brightly at night: "It's okay, I just came to take a look. I saw someone here, so I asked."
Kerry nodded and said: "Then I'm going home, you can do whatever you want." After turning around and taking two steps, Kerry's hand was grabbed. Kerry shook it away reflexively and looked at Nasha's confused eyes in horror. :"what are you up to!"
Nasha was also surprised. She didn't expect his reaction to be so big: "I, I just saw that you were injured and asked you if it was OK..."
"I'm fine!" Kerry replied loudly, then turned around and ran away.
Nasha looked at his retreating back, unable to regain her consciousness for a long time, until her godmother's call came from the distance.
"Nasha, where have you been?" The godmother put a light pink fur coat on her and shook her head in disapproval: "A lady is not allowed to leave during the banquet. You will be disliked by Count Hilal."
"I'm not leaving, Linda." A strange smile suddenly appeared on Nasha's lips: "Let's go back."
The night remains unchanged, dark and lightless, without the crystal blue of the night sky in the wilderness, nor the sparkling stars.
—Tonight is, after all, the beginning of the turning of the gears of fate.
Count Hilal's mansion has a beautiful rose bush, white and red alternately, like blood-colored raindrops falling on the white roses, dyeing a few scattered ones red.
Hiding on the stone steps beside the flowers, Kerry held a shabby book in his hand and flipped through it carefully.
This is a history of the Erli continent that he quietly stole from the warehouse. It records all the known species on the continent, their living ranges, habits and other basic information. He definitely wouldn't have gone to see these before, but now, he wants to know more about mermaids.
There are very few records of mermaids in the book. Compared with the records of elves, goblins, dwarves, etc., the records of mermaids are not even one-tenth of them.
It is said above that mermaids do not like to live in groups and will choose the deep sea as their living environment. Generally, mermaids will not be seen in developed sea areas for people to play. In addition, mermaids are not carnivorous, but feed on seaweed and sea fruits.
Therefore, luring sailors with songs and dragging them into the water to eat them are all rumors spread by the world.
Suddenly remembering that he had foolishly asked someone if they wanted to eat him last night, Kerry burst out laughing.
—That mermaid must be very helpless... If you go to the beach today, will you see him
"Huh? Are the annals of history so funny?"
A sound like a silver bell sounded from behind. Kerry was startled and quickly closed the book.
Turning around, I found it was the girl I met at the beach last night. Kerry breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't those brothers.
"Sorry, I scared you." The girl smiled softly: "But I don't like reading history books the most, but you can actually laugh at it?"
"Um, I just took a look..." Kerry's eyes wandered and he changed the subject: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to be a guest." Nasha said, "I saw you at the banquet yesterday."
The boy hiding in the corner, not even daring to eat from the table, must be him...
Count Hilal's bastard without any magical talent - Kerry Hilal.
Kerry's face froze, understanding in his heart.
Yesterday, a banquet was held at the residence, and the godmothers, nuns and the next saint of the Holy Church were invited. Looking closely, this girl seems to be the saint who was regarded as the protagonist last night.
"I still have something to do, let's go first..."
"By the way, I'm not familiar with this place yet. Can you take me for a walk?" Nasha interrupted him and asked in a cheerful tone.
Kerry's face turned pale. If those brothers knew that he was with the saint, they would inevitably make things difficult for him again.
He wanted to refuse, but the girl's bright and flawless eyes made Kerry unable to refuse.
