Chapter 1361 Rules on Land
The experience of the mermaid is like a thick book. If it is made into a movie, it will be a movie full of legends. Such a legendary experience also softened Claire. She was originally hostile to mermaids, especially when she tried to get close to her tent. Whether she wanted to hurt herself or not, this was unforgivable. Even if she saw herself and felt kind.
It was the first time Claire heard about meteorites. She didn't know what the energy of meteorites had to do with her. But the mermaid must have absorbed the energy of the meteorite and began to undergo qualitative changes, and the jade pendant on Claire's body also has the energy of Zhen Fan, and part of Zhen Fan's energy comes from the meteorite. This is also very easy to explain why the mermaid feels kind to Claire, and the final reason is the jade pendant.
But the jade pendant protects Claire, so when the mermaid appeared and wanted to get close to Claire, the energy infused with Taoist mentality directly penetrated into the mermaid's brain, and through the power of Taoism, let She was so out of shape that she couldn't escape back into the water, and if it wasn't for Claire she would have dried up and died on the shore.
"Very touching, did you kill anyone later?" Claire suddenly looked at her and asked.
The mermaid hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, I have killed people, but... those who want to hurt me, so I... have no choice. My only weapon is that I can send out a voice that others cannot hear. I heard the sound, but this sound can kill them, in modern terms, it is ultrasound. I heard they discussed such things together, and it was aimed at me."
Claire clapped her hands, then stood up, and said to the mermaid lying there: "Okay, I already know you, but... I don't know your name yet? Maybe one day I will come back again , we can be friends, can't we? I think...just after hearing your story, I forgive you!" Claire was still a little girl after all. After hearing this story, I no longer hold a hostile attitude towards this mermaid in my heart.
"Silia Marquez." The mermaid said to Claire, "Fortunately, I still remember my name, and I seldom speak. I suspect that what I just said so much was dreaming." Same."
"Silia Marquez, I remember, I can call you Silia!" Claire smiled, then looked at her and said. "You just live in the water forever? This is not a good idea. It has changed a lot now. This society... If you can live on land for a long time, I can show you the world. What a pity It's already..." Claire shook her head regretfully, stood up, and was about to go back to her tent.
"I... I can live on land for a long time, but... I can't swim in the water. If I am transferred into the water, I may become like this, which is why I dare not live on land. I'm just afraid that someone will pour water on my body. Or my body will change when I take a shower, which will... give many people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Silia Marquez said sadly.
"Everything will change, Celia, but there are bad people, but there are also many good people!" Claire said, stretching her waist, "It's really terrible, I can't sleep well tonight, okay It's... Silia. No matter what kind of thoughts you have, anyway... I'm going to bed, good night!" Claire walked towards her tent.
Watching Claire walk into her tent, everything around her fell silent. Celia Marquez leaned quietly against the stones in the water. I don't know what I'm thinking. Then a brilliance flew out from her forehead and fell straight into the tent. This is the energy condensed by the Taoist power of Claire's jade pendant.
After the brilliance disappeared, Silia the mermaid suddenly swam into the lake. Claire didn't get up until the next day when the sky was bright. Then I started to pack the tent, and finally washed my mouth by the lake, caught two more fish and roasted them for breakfast. I also boiled a pot of water with the kettle I carried, and prepared to drink it on the road.
After everything was ready, Claire looked at the lake and thought about what happened last night. It was like a dream. Looking at the calm lake, it was really like a dream. He smiled involuntarily, and prepared to continue walking towards the woods. She intends to go through the forest from here and continue back to her journey. The next stop is Denver. She can meet her father, maybe for a day or two, and then she still walks on by herself.
"Hey—" Suddenly a voice came from behind Claire. Claire turned her head and saw Silia Marquez, the mermaid from last night, standing by the lake behind her. Her tail had morphed into slender and white legs, but what was on her now? She didn't wear any clothes, and her perfect figure made people feel a little suffocated. The long hair covered her chest, and those eyes were looking at Claire eagerly.
"Silia? What are you... are you here to say goodbye to me?" Claire looked at Silia and shrugged her shoulders, "If that's the case, I'm very happy... I can treat you as a friend , the premise is... everything you said is true. Because... I read some news and stories about murlocs last night. They all like to tell beautiful lies, and then tempt people to be deceived. Lost their life in the water. It's like they would sing beautiful songs and seduce the sailors. Tell me, are you one of them?"
"No, of course not, you...you have to believe me." Silia looked sad rather than excited, "I am not an authentic mermaid, I am just a mermaid degenerated from a human being, and I am not the same as those people." Same, trust me... I want to be your friend!"
Claire shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands and said, "Okay, you want to be my friend, and of course I want to, but this is the only place where we meet, maybe I won't come again for a few years .So..." Claire wanted to say, such a friend doesn't make much sense, because they just talked for a night, and they can't be regarded as a deep friendship.
"I... I want to be with you, I want to see the outside world... Five hundred years is too long, I am afraid to live another five hundred years of loneliness, if this is the case, I think I will eventually go crazy .God can testify, I just want to go out and see, not want anything else..." Silia looked at Claire, with a very eager look in her eyes, "I can't go out alone, I don't want others Use me, I don't know the outside world either...but if you are with me...I don't think any of this will be a problem...you know, I only trust you."
"Is it because of that sudden sense of trust that you only trust me?" Claire thought it was a little funny, and asked back, "Just because of this, you left the place where you lived for five hundred years?"
"Yes, it's all true. Because I started out as a human being, not a fish, so...you know, I almost forgot to talk, I want to live a normal life, I don't want to be a fish Fish, even though...it allows me to swim freely in the water. But I still long to be human. You are the only person I can trust, and you also have that kind of power that is so powerful that it will not let I was hurt by other people."
"What you said is true?" Claire looked at Silia and couldn't help but say in surprise. She never thought that this mermaid would go with her. Is this possible? She is someone who wants to complete the journey alone, she shook her head almost without thinking about it and said, "No, no, I won't let you follow me, it's not appropriate!"
"Please!" The mermaid suddenly cried. It's just that her tears hung on the ground, and she made a crisp sound, like the sound of a metal hitting a stone on the ground, "Please, I know...I've waited for this time for too long, I know I Waiting too long for someone you can trust."
"What is this?" Claire went to squat down in front of the mermaid, then looked at the few bright things on the ground, like beads, thought for a while, and suddenly said in surprise, "Your tears It can be turned into pearls, yes, I remember that legend, my god, I didn't expect it to be true... Can you drop a few more?" Claire picked up the three pearls and couldn't help but smile happily.
"I... don't know, I haven't cried for more than five hundred years, I don't know why it happened today, but... my tears... are really gone, I can't cry now..." the mermaid said helplessly Claire said. His arms hugged his shoulders tightly, a little helpless.
"By the way, that's right. The mermaid's tears don't flow easily. Because it's too precious, and... when the mermaid shed tears, what she said is the most credible. Aha—— Believe you, Celia, you are telling the truth." Claire said loudly happily, "But...do you really want to be with me?"
"Yes, yes, I really think so. I want to end these five hundred years of nightmares. You know, I am a human being first, not a creature like this, let alone a human being." Mermaid Silk Liya said excitedly, "Just take me away and let me live a normal human life, I promise... I will live a good life."
"I hope what you say can count, and... don't hurt humans easily, you will only do that when your life is threatened. If you promise me this, I will agree..." Claire Suddenly, he said to Silia the mermaid seriously, "This is my bottom line."
"Yes, I swear—" the mermaid raised her hand and said with a look of color on her face.
"Welcome, my companion—" Claire stretched out her hand to Silia, "Claire Zhen, my name, just call me Claire, and... This is for you, you have to wear clothes to survive in human society. You will not forget the first rule on land because you have lived in water for a long time?" (To be continued.)
