Chapter 969 It’s Time for the Siren’s Festival
Sirens - in the eyes of all supernatural creatures on earth and even in human myths and legends, this is an extremely mysterious race. They are elves in the deep water, hermits in the dark abyss, and the most elusive people of water in the unpredictable and turbulent ocean. They themselves are as formless and unpredictable as water. Sailors in the old days firmly believed that Hidden in every wave of the ocean is the seductive song of the Sirens, and the alien gods of the past believed that not even Poseidon could control these hermits of the sea.
These amorphous and faceless water elves are covered with such a mysterious veil - but now Hao Ren can pat his chest and tell those guys who write stories that everything is because distance creates beauty. Everyone calls the sea monsters The reason why the rumors are so high-spirited is entirely because they have never had close contact with these otakus...
The unlucky ones who were imprisoned in the Siren City for more than a hundred years are not included.
It is true that the water elves are gentle and calm, but just like the ocean has thousands of faces, so do the sea monsters. They also have their moments of activeness and escape, and this has already happened when Hao Ren saw their shrimp forms. You should have thought of it. A group of people entered Nasatorn under the leadership of Shakeela, and what they saw along the way can be summed up in four words: a group of demons dancing wildly. The sirens happily transformed themselves into everything they could find in the sea, and they seemed interested in trying anyone who had ever been in the water. Hao Ren even saw two tires rolling around in front of his eyes. He didn't know which unlucky car accidentally fell into the sea. The tires were removed by the Kraken and used as a reference model.
Shakira pointed to the two tires and explained to Hao Ren: "Only the one at the back is the Kraken, the one in the front is really a tire."
Hao Ren: "..."
"You guys... have quite a rich spare time life." Lily followed with her mouth open. The messy scene in Nasatorn today was really completely different from what she saw the last time she came here. The last time she came here At that time, the City of Sirens was still a crazy city shrouded in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, as chilling as the evil god's lair in the deep sea, but now... well, the scene is still quite scary, but the atmosphere is different.
"It doesn't happen often," Shakira smiled and led the way, while little Doudou scurried behind the mermaid sister's tail to follow the rhythm. The little mermaid thought she had returned to her hometown. , laughing happily all the way, "Since the last incident, Nasatorn has taken a long time to rebuild. It is not easy to repair those ancient equipment and heal the psychological trauma of the sisters. Our city was once shrouded in In the lingering shadow. But Hao Ren brought us news about Io, and we knew the origin and history of the Kraken clan, so we felt that we could not just sink into it, so the Queen decided to make some changes."
As Shakira spoke, she gently swung her tail to avoid a tuna that was rushing over. The tuna was as long as a person. After rushing over, "it" turned around lightly and turned into a tuna with a golden-red tail. The charming sea snake girl spat out a bunch of bubbles apologetically. Hao Ren had a vague impression of this siren. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was one of the guards in the underground passage near the Queen's Palace. Yzaks had rolled it into a snake ball and thrown it out...
Shakira continued: "Actually, we have always sent observers to the surface to understand the changes in the land world, but after the tribe was corrupted by evil spirits a hundred years ago, we no longer paid attention to this knowledge. So in the city function After almost recovering, the Queen ordered to sort out all the information that we had missed in the past hundred years, and even contacted several alien families on the land - we originally sent messengers to them to promote the 'Day of Return' news, so we accidentally have channels of communication with surface races. Through these efforts, we once again keep up with the changes in the world and understand how humans developed this planet into what it is today in just one hundred years. .
"What's interesting is that the powerful alien races are still stubborn and have gone downhill within a hundred years, but humans have fought two world wars in such a short period of time, and even sent people on earth to the moon. The Queen asked We looked at all modern human technologies, especially those related to aerospace, and then our sisters finally knew what the phrase "Nasatorn is a spaceship" meant.
"We have lived in seclusion in the deep sea for too long, and there are some problems with our world view. So after knowing the efforts our ancestors have made to explore space, we must re-establish our understanding of the 'outside world', and the Queen believes that humans on earth are The best teacher in this area.”
Shakeela talked all the way around, and the siren seemed very happy to see Hao Ren and the others again. After listening to this, Nangong Wuyue nodded in understanding: "So by the way, you are learning from humans to celebrate festivals?"
"Well, one of the reasons," Shakeela said while correcting Doudou's tail-swinging posture while swimming, "is that the pressure accumulated during the reconstruction of the city was too great, and we needed a celebration to relax, so the Queen Decided to celebrate human festivals in the deep sea..."
"Then there's only one question," Vivian raised her hand, "Do you know what day it is today on land?"
Shakira's tail stiffened: "Eh?"
"Halloween has already passed two months ago," Hao Ren looked at the messy Nasatorn with a big head, "how much is the difference between your deep sea calendar and the surface?"
"Is that so?!" Shakeela suddenly looked surprised, as if realizing this problem for the first time, and then she flicked her tail, "Oh, that's okay, anyway, it's the same any time to celebrate, happy Just tell the Queen later and we can change this holiday to Urban Reconstruction Day."
Lily was stunned: "...Are you usually so casual?"
Shakeela immediately looked serious: "It's not casual, it's very serious - the Queen has to ask to change her name."
Lily: "..."
"Okay, I won't pursue your cultural issues anymore," Hao Ren said with a smile on his face, and then curiously looked at the strange sea monsters in all directions - this "weird shape" is really not the wrong thing, "Speaking of which Do you celebrate the holidays by turning into all kinds of weird things?"
"We usually like this kind of entertainment the most!" Shakeela suddenly said happily, "Transform into various new and interesting forms, and then let friends guess who is who. The sea with the most successful transformation and the most thorough disguise The demon will win. So after we heard that humans have a Halloween where everyone dresses up in all kinds of weird looks and runs around, we immediately decided to hold such a festival! In addition, in addition to everyone transforming together, the city There are many other activities, and there are many trinkets collected from shallow water areas for sale on Yongquan Long Street, which are all dropped by humans into the sea! It’s really interesting!”
What else could Hao Ren say? He could only feel that it was an eye-opener. He didn't expect that these silent deep-water creatures would live such a lively life, and their entertainment methods and celebrations were really colorful. Nangong Sanba smiled and said: "Look at the bitterness and hatred of all the alien families on the land, and then look at these sea monsters...it's really incomparable."
"It's normal." Vivian was not surprised. "They are the only alien race that has retained a complete social form and can be unmolested for many years. It is not surprising that such a race has as rich social activities as humans."
While they were talking, everyone had already passed through the bustling city streets. Shakira led Hao Ren and the others to a huge transparent pipe. She opened the small door on one side of the pipe and let everyone swim in: "From here to the palace area. It’s quite far, let’s take this ride.”
This kind of pipeline is the most common "bus line" in the city of Kraken. It relies on water flow and pressure to carry out high-speed, comfortable and safe urban traffic in the pipeline. It is one of the few ancient technologies that the Kraken race has maintained to this day. one. Hao Ren and others got into the pipe. When Shakira entered the destination into the controller next to her, Doudou suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a layer of almost transparent, soft gelatinous substance on the inner wall of the pipe. The mermaid immediately swam over excitedly and bumped hard against the gelatinous material: "Dad, dad, there is something here!"
At this time, Shakira finally discovered the sticky substance on the wall of the pipe. She reached out and poked it twice curiously: "What is this? The station should be cleaned every day... Wow!"
I saw the layer of gelatin suddenly twisting, and then pieces of the same translucent gel fell off from the pipe walls in all directions. These strange things gathered together and condensed into a petite mermaid in the blink of an eye: "Wow!"
"You're still 'wow'!" Shakeela put her hands on her hips and glared at the young siren, "You are not allowed to transform and lurk near traffic lines and public machinery facilities. Have you forgotten the rules?"
The young siren thought for a moment and continued to exclaim: "Wow!"
Hao Ren slapped his forehead: "I suddenly felt that we came at the wrong time...Nasatorn in this period is simply incredible."
