The great earthquake that struck the entire continent twenty years ago brought tremendous changes to the entire ocean world.

At that time, the sea area expanded overnight, the terrain changed drastically, and the mermaids' home suffered unprecedented destruction.

During this disaster, the mermaids also had to deal with their fellow tribesmen who were invaded by evil spirits, and because of their extremely violent behavior, the entire tribe fell into great panic.

The Mermaid King and the Mermaid Queen at that time took on the responsibility of protecting and rescuing their people.

They tried their best to stabilize the situation on the seabed, repair the damaged mermaid kingdom, and find a way to heal the tribesmen who were invaded by evil spirits.

Later, they heard that the Elf King who could drive away evil spirits had crossed the sea and arrived in the Loran Empire. Not daring to delay for a moment, they decided to personally restrain the violent tribesmen and go to the Loran Empire to seek help from the Elf King.

At that time, the twin sons of the Mermaid King and Queen were only five years old. In desperation, they entrusted the children to the care of a loyal captain of the guard, and set out on a journey to the Loran Empire with their tribesmen who were troubled by the evil spirit.

However, what awaits them in the Loran Empire is not only the dawn of hope, but also a more sinister conspiracy.

The wife of a noble from the Loran Empire was jealous of the beauty of the mermaids. She took advantage of the fact that the mermaid king was busy treating his people and had no time to take care of other things, and tricked Kalinda into attending a gathering of noble ladies under the pretext of discussing treatment.

As a result, Kalinda was tricked into the manor and imprisoned by the vicious woman.

The woman gave her an evil magic potion that made her lose her speech, vision and mind, and made her become like a puppet at the mercy of others.

In order to satisfy her own selfish desires, the woman lied that Kalinda had disappeared on the way to a banquet, but actually imprisoned her in a dark underground dungeon. There, she used pearls made from Kalinda's tears and her blood to conduct various cruel experiments in an attempt to maintain eternal youth.

Fortunately, two days later, the Mermaid King and the Elf King who were looking for Kalinda everywhere noticed something was wrong. They broke into the house of the woman who first said that Kalinda was missing, put a knife to her neck and forced her to tell them Kalinda's whereabouts. At the last moment, they successfully rescued the imprisoned Kalinda.

According to the mermaids who later returned from the Loran Empire, the noble family, from servants to masters, were involved in the conspiracy and attempted to conceal the truth.

After their crimes were exposed, the Mermaid King led his people in a rage to massacre the noble's mansion in revenge for Kalinda. That day, the Mermaid King's blue hair was dyed blood red.

Since then, the mermaids have developed a deep hatred and vigilance towards humans. They believe that humans are synonymous with cunning and cruel, and no longer trust them. For the mermaids, keeping a distance from humans has become their survival principle.

This is also why the older mermaids had such expressions when they saw Lingling and the other two in human form.

After hearing the whole story, Tag's expression was a little sad, but Holly followed behind him and stared at Lingling's expression.

Bai Jiu was also always alert, monitoring Lingling's brain waves.

However, the amazing thing was that Lingling didn't show any signs of panic or excitement this time. The little guy's chubby face was expressionless and surprisingly calm.

Bai Jiu carefully investigated and found out what Lingling was thinking.

It turned out that when they were in the orc tribe, Amy once told Lingling that the human nobles liked to capture orcs as slaves. Adult orcs were wild and difficult to tame, so they captured young orcs and trained them from a young age.

Lingling was very angry and scared at that time.

But Amy told her that if she had a strong backing, or became stronger herself, she would not be afraid of those bad guys. She wanted to learn magic in order to better protect herself and her people.

Lingling had indeed just heard about what had happened to Kalinda. She was a little scared at first and felt sorry for her beautiful aunt, but then she heard that the Mermaid King had helped her aunt to get revenge, and she even heard about an acquaintance, the Elf King Thor, and she suddenly felt at ease.

This time Lingling did not panic. A small cartoon even suddenly appeared in the little girl's mind.

While walking on the road, she met a bad guy who wanted to catch Lingling. Lingling stood up to resist, and her uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters helped Lingling to fight the bad guy off.

The picture was vivid and logical, which made Bai Jiu feel emotional.

Child, you have grown up a little after all, which is very good.

As if she noticed that Bai Jiu was worried about her, Xiaotuanzi comforted Bai Jiu in a soft voice: "Uncle Bai, don't worry, Lingling is fine, Lingling has grown up."

Bai Jiu smiled with satisfaction and responded, "Yes, yes, Lingling will soon be a three-year-old child. She's grown up!"

Lingling didn't have time to savor Bai Jiu's last four words. She was keenly aware of Holly's gaze, and immediately looked up and smiled softly to comfort Holly.

Holly felt relieved instantly. He touched Lingling's little head and patted Tag, signaling him that Kalinda was looking over.

"My dear friends from the Tree People who have come from afar, I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited." Kalinda's voice was a little hoarse from crying. She swam forward a few times, came to the few people who had just stood far away, and saluted Tag and Holly with a slight apology.

Tag and Holly waved their hands. After listening to her story, they could understand her panic and helplessness, and they really couldn't afford for others to come and apologize to them.

Holly's head twitched, and he put his hands under Lingling's armpits, picked up Lingling and held her in front of Kalinda.

"This little one is so cute. Madam will be much happier if she plays with her."

Lingling, who was lifted up without any defense, said: ...Uncle Holly, are you polite?

But since he was already lifted up, the clever little ghost got into the state instantly.
