Mermaid Song: Shura Field 05
Ning Ren is not aware of the invitation letter sent by the Northern Territory yet.
He followed the advice of Heaven and first took good care of his health. He always paid close attention to his health. If he didn't love himself, those who did would be worried.
Fortunately, the mermaid's body is not afraid of the cold, so he doesn't have to worry about getting hot from the cold wind. It's just that his body is too small, and his eyes become very sensitive after being stimulated by the light of the night pearl.
The doctor lived in the palace and never missed changing the dressings twice a day. It still took half a month before the patient was almost fully recovered.
During this period of time, Ning Ren explored the Deep Sea Palace and managed to figure out its layout.
The mermaids are indeed the overlords of the sea, but their strength will be reduced after they leave the ocean. They have no interest in land and think that their bare legs are very ugly, so they are unwilling to transform into human form and walk on the ground.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the shadows of mermaids will often be seen on land.
The three city lords appeared most frequently around him.
The youngest and the one who can't hide his thoughts the most is called Lorenzo, who is less than a hundred years old; the second is Alison, who is taciturn, but likes to stir up trouble and make the situation more chaotic when watching the fun; the oldest is Abra, who is thoughtful. It was Abra who discovered the problem with his eyes, and it was he who got the night pearl, which allowed him to rest for more than half a month.
...In short, the mermaids lived quite well during the sixty years without a king to lead them. This was because most mermaids were simple-minded and had no evil ideas. Moreover, the seabed was rich in resources, so they had no worries about food and drink and did not have to fight for them.
Among the three of them, except for Lorenzo who is still in the Yang Realm, the other two have already entered the Void Realm.
Aside from the King, the Mermaids' City Lordship is a matter of strength. Not happy with this? Start a fight on City Lordship Day! The winner takes it all!
Therefore, even if Lorenzo's strength is at the Yang Realm, he is probably the strongest Yang Realm among the mermaids below the Xu Realm.
If we only talk about the virtual realm, the mermaids, who have occupied most of the resources in the ocean, are undoubtedly stronger than other top tribes.
There was something important happening today, so Abra woke him up early and took extra care to dress up.
Ning Ren stood in front of the mirror on the shell bed and looked at himself left and right.
He leaned closer, opened his mouth, and pressed his gums with his fingers.
Mermaid cubs grow very fast within one month after birth. Their teeth and claws quickly become sharp, making it easier for them to hunt small prey. They also have outstanding language talents and can quickly master basic communication methods.
After a month, when all teeth have grown and the baby has learned to communicate, it will not be so likely to die prematurely.
The mermaids' infancy period is longer than that of other ethnic groups, a full twenty years, followed by an even longer growth period.
Ning Ren glanced at his arms. The scales that had not yet faded when he was born were now invisible. He clenched his fingers, and his nails became particularly sharp.
Mermaids in the sea basically don't wear clothes and cover their private parts with shells or seaweed.
It goes without saying that as a cub, his upper body is usually almost naked. Today is said to be his first formal meeting with his subjects, so he wore an extra layer of translucent golden gauze. The gauze was wrapped around his chest and arms and tied into a knot at his back, leaving his belly exposed.
Ning Ren poked the gauze with his sharp nails.
Alas.
Not to mention scratching it, not even a single thread was hooked out.
Abra smiled and said, "King, are you ready?"
The mermaid cub turned its head and said, "Ah."
Abra clapped his hands, and the servant came up with a tray. Abra put the small crown on the tray on Ning Ren's head.
Wang Zai, who had just been picking his teeth with his eyes blindfolded, suddenly had a noble and elegant temperament.
Abra gave him a slight bow.
"Please follow me."
Ning Ren followed him out, followed by a long line of attendants and guards. He didn't count them specifically because he couldn't see the end at a glance.
Abraham took him outside the palace.
There are many bubbles floating here, and on each bubble there are tribesmen of different ages sitting or lying, humming songs, some holding hands, and dancing with their tails flapping the bubbles.
The atmosphere is very lively.
After Ning Ren was led to sit on the highest bubble, he found that these tribesmen were not as serious as he had imagined, but more enthusiastic. Some cubs who were older than him even had the courage to approach him.
This is a unique ceremony of the mermaids to pay homage to the young king.
The mermaids didn't like being alone, and neither did their kings. The mermaids relied on the king's larynx for soothing sound waves, so the kings of each generation would gather the people together every now and then to sing.
The so-called meeting with the young king means that everyone guides the king to get used to this atmosphere and records how he sings for the first time.
It sounds boring, but because it is one of the king’s duties, this boring thing must be recorded in the history of the mermaids!
Ning Ren: “…”
Damn it, what kind of messed up Dengxi did Yu An pass down?
The blue-tailed cub sitting on the bubble couldn't help but curl up its tail fin and hum a few times with its mouth open, under the eager gaze of its tribesmen.
The song has no melody or tune, it's clearly just the pampering of a baby!
After singing two or three lines, he shut up, but he didn't expect the voices around him to say:
"Wow! Wang sings really well!"
"As expected of a king, he can sing along at such a young age. I feel like my heart is melting in these two songs. Oh, God..."
Perhaps Yu An's simple (stupid and cute) genes were not strong enough, and a mutation occurred in his genes. The mermaids say whatever they want to anyone or anything they like, sincerely and passionately.
Shy? Not a thing!
Ning Ren's sharp nails couldn't help but pop out, piercing the bubble, and he fell into the bubble.
The cub hugged its tail in the bubble, hiding its entire face and red ears.
What kind of social phobia hell is this?
[Hahahahahaha, bastard, the look in those old mermaids' eyes is so familiar! Every time it's a holiday, when the kids at home learn some talent and are forced to perform, this is how it feels, hahahaha]
[Aaaaaah, when can I finally see my parents, brothers, and sisters?! I can’t wait! I’m so anxious! I’m going to punch this slow-updating livestream!]
During the second half of the formal meeting (singing competition), Ning Ren kept hiding in the bubble.
Fortunately, his first duty had been completed, and everyone happily sent the king back.
Even those first few sounds were enough to soothe their emotions. Alas, the footage recorded this time must be a limited edition, extremely precious, something they could keep as a family heirloom.
When Ning Ren went back, his tail swam very fast.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the door was completely closed.
His eyesight is almost healed, and he needs to go to the treasure house to absorb the blood of God.
Just as he was about to return to his bedroom, he heard Alison talking to Abra around the corner:
"...The information has been collected. Because the strange phenomena in the Western and Eastern Regions are spreading to the Northern Region, most of the races that received the invitation from the Northern Region will accept the invitation and go.
This may be the biggest change in the entire continent in thousands of years. No race that wants to occupy a position in the pyramid of various regions will give up this opportunity.
Lan Huadis's side involves their king's heart fire, so they will definitely go as well. I just don't know who to send, but I guess at least one of the two eight-marked princes will go, and those with seven patterns will go. You know, your heart fire is... So, we in the Western Regions must also decide on the candidate as soon as possible."
This is what the three city lords have been worrying about these days.
Regarding the changes in the continent, it is most appropriate for Wang to go, but it is really unfortunate that Wang is too young and it is very risky to go out like this. They don't want anything to happen to Wang.
Abra pondered: "Lorenzo is not suitable to stay and look after the house. He has some friendship with Lan Huadis. This time he is going. Either of us can stay. Let's see who the king likes more..."
"Yes."
A childish voice interrupted them.
Abra and Alison turned around and found that their king was right behind them. They repeated awkwardly, "I, want to go." Ning Ren didn't expect to hear such a conversation. He was originally worried about what excuse he could use to go to the Northern Territory, but now he didn't even need to find an excuse.
Alison was stunned: "You..."
"Come," Ning Ren turned and swam towards the treasure house.
The two city lords looked at each other and followed Ning Ren.
Ning Ren once again came to the Blood of God floating above the treasure house.
When he stretched out his hand this time, he was not bounced away like last time. The blood that had turned into red-gold crystals flowed along his fingertips and merged into his body in front of the shocked eyes of Abra and Alison.
The blue-tailed mermaid cub's body was wrapped in a ball of golden light.
Abra's pupils suddenly shrank: "King!!"
He approached quickly, but the golden light gently stopped him, as if to tell them that the king was not in danger.
Alison tugged at his shoulders. "Maybe it's a good thing."
Their cub king seemed different from the previous kings. They didn't know where the king was born. When they found the king, he was in the forbidden land, resonating with the ancestral pillar that absorbed the moon scales, and even obtained a conch shell that retained the ancient sound.
The vision of the patriarch setting up the pillar also seems to be related to the king.
Wang's personality is also much clearer and more logical than that of other cubs. He has never cried or made a fuss, and even at the beginning, he could understand what they were saying.
Even though the king's body is a little fragile, it cannot conceal his uniqueness.
About half an hour later, the golden light disappeared.
Ning Ren felt the spiritual power flowing in his body again. There were five spiritual powers of different colors in his body meridians. The silver one came from the Mi tribe, the gold and black ones came from Lan Huadis, the red gold came from ancient times, and the blue one was probably the "sea control" of the mermaid tribe.
These five different kinds of spiritual power stayed peacefully in his body.
Although his mental power is very limited, he is at this level and can accumulate it slowly.
He clenched his fist and found that his hand seemed to have grown bigger.
It changed from the size of six peanuts to the size of twelve peanuts.
Abra and Alison were even more shocked. They watched helplessly as their king, who was still so small before absorbing the blood of God, turned into the height of a mermaid cub about three or four months old after the absorption.
Since she had grown bigger, the golden gauze that had originally fit her body was no longer large enough and was tightly squeezing the flesh on her arms. Ning Ren pulled it up.
He swam in front of the two city lords. With his experience from ancient times, he started to deceive people and put the blame on Yu An for his abnormal condition.
"The First Ancestor set up the pillar and told me to do this, so I obeyed. The First Ancestor also told me to go to the Northern Territory."
Wang Zai had a stern face and spoke in a serious tone, and it didn't seem like he was joking at all.
"..." Abra opened his mouth for a long time before he found his voice again, dazed, "Ancestor?"
Young King: "Don't believe it?"
Abra shook his head quickly.
"No, no, no!" They had no reason not to believe it.
How long has the king been born? He is so innocent and cute, yet he acts in a very methodical way. Apart from the teachings of the ancestor, is there any other reason?
But...that's the ancestor.
It was already a miracle that there was a photo left, and it was even possible for it to span tens of thousands of years and allow the young king to inherit his consciousness.
It's really incredible.
Ning Ren: "Get ready, I'll go."
Alison suppressed her shock and said, "Yes, we'll prepare now. You..." She glanced at Ning Ren worriedly, "You've grown so much suddenly, are you feeling well? The 'Blood of God' has been in my clan for so long, and no one knows what it can be used for. Lan Huadis said that it is the best weapon to restrain evil spirits. If you absorbed it like this, will there be any sequelae?"
Ning Renxin said that this was his blood, and he sucked it back up, which was called environmental protection. What was the problem?
Four words popped out of the young king's mouth: "No, comfortable."
You need to become proficient in speaking as quickly as possible. Speaking word by word is too unimpressive.
Alison: "That's good."
"Since you're going, all previous arrangements will have to be re-planned and left to us. You go back and rest. We'll leave in seven days at the earliest."
Ning Ren: "Okay."
They sent Ning Ren to the bedroom and watched him finish his meal and rest before going about their own business.
It is a huge event for the young king to leave the sea, so the protective force dispatched must be of the highest quality.
One order after another was passed down, and soon the entire Western Sea was in operation.
After Lorenzo understood the whole story, he remained silent for a long time, gazing at the light of the Ancestral Pillar. "I hope it's a good thing..."
Alison said, "Even if it's a bad thing, we won't put the king in danger."
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
The vast sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and the coastline is even longer.
The sea, which was calmer than usual, suddenly began to surge, splitting it in two, forming a water staircase in the middle.
A small shadow ran down the steps and stepped on the soft sand.
It was a child of about two or three years old, with light blond curly hair tied into small buns, a thick eye patch over his eyes, a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and a pair of bare legs without shoes.
Ning Ren tugged at the small clothes on his body. After swimming in the water for a long time, it was quite uncomfortable to put on clothes.
A few unsteady tribesmen chased after him, "King! Don't run so fast! There are so many bad guys on the shore!"
Ning Ren looked towards due north.
With his current identity, he was going to the Northern Territory. He didn't know if he could call this journey by this name—
go home.
