The Song of the Mermaid: Shura Field 09
Ning Ren never expected that his second meeting with Asulin would come so soon.
He had clearly heard that his father would be in the palace of the Central Royal City today, so he came here to see his former friend.
Ning Ren's acting skills in front of his family have never been very good.
He was thankful countless times that he had an eye patch that covered almost half of his face, so that he could be an expressionless child.
Ning Ren took the red fruit from Asulin's palm.
The red fruit was like a trap. When the cub came to take it, Asulin gently held his fingers.
Ning Ren's heart shuddered, and he quickly grabbed the red fruit and pulled his hand out.
A Sulin subconsciously exerted force and only grabbed the child's sleeve.
Ning Ren calmed himself down and spoke like any other child: "Who are you?"
“…”
Asulin's eyelashes trembled, he didn't say anything, but clenched his fists even tighter, his finger bones turning white.
He has been sleeping since five years ago.
So when he woke up, his memory automatically connected to five years ago. He did not experience five years of forgetting and healing, and it was as if he had just lost his child.
He felt a trance-like sense of being detached from Jie Ling's clear and logical report.
He was split into two halves. One half of his mind was clear-headed, sorting out what had happened over the years, thinking about the vision of the City of Chaos and when the meeting would be held.
The other half is still in the last dream when sleeping.
In his dream, he grabbed A Ren's hand.
He saw the blood knot reconnect.
But in reality, there was only a doll made of his child's clothes lying next to him.
His body had not actually recovered completely, and he was very stiff when he stood up, but his mental strength had almost recovered. He used teleportation to leave the Old Stone and set a time for the vision meeting.
Then he returned to the palace where he once lived with A Ren.
This place was different from the warm stone house. Although every trace of the cubs' life was visible, it was still cold. He opened his shirt in front of the mirror. The scarlet scar on his chest was gone, leaving a smooth, clean surface.
Asulin has never been a paranoid person. He may be very indifferent to outsiders, but his attitude towards family members has always been gentle.
He used his mental power to carve the mark of the Blood Origin Knot on his heart, thereby alleviating the withdrawal reaction caused by the Blood Origin Knot. The pain could also awaken his rationality, allowing him to calmly deal with the next thing.
...The bloody smell was discovered by Jie Ling and Doctor Wei.
Although Asulin emphasized that he could attend the briefing inside the Central Royal City Palace tomorrow, he was still sent to rest half-forced and half-persuaded.
The introduction session was conducted by Jie Ling.
That's why Asulin is free today.
He originally wanted to go to the Light Pillar to watch the live action, but as he walked, he came to the Blacksmith Department, where A Ren liked to play.
He stood here for a while, about to leave.
But I saw a small shadow walking towards here.
Wearing a hoodie, even the way he walks and kicks stones is so similar.
His steps of leaving suddenly stopped.
He watched the child pick the pink grass and shake it on his nose, watched him tiptoe to look into the blacksmith's shop, watched him communicate with the little red bear, and picked up things that fell on the ground.
By the time Asulin reacted, he had already teleported over and picked up the red fruit.
"Who are you?"
The cub in front of him asked politely again.
Asulin's eyes swept over the light blond hair that emerged from his hat. After a few seconds, he found his voice, "...then who are you?"
Ning Ren's heart trembled.
Abra: "This gentleman."
His tone was low and serious: "Please do not approach other cubs without permission."
In fact, he broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
The clothes this person wore had the unique patterns of the Mi tribe, and there was no dangerous aura about him. He appeared in front of Wang out of thin air, but he didn't even notice it in advance.
If this person had ill intentions towards their king, the king might be harmed!
"My name is Asulin," Asulin looked up. He knew that his behavior just now was very rude and was considered a threat in the eyes of his guardian, so he carefully explained his identity to prove that he was not a threat.
"He is the leader of this city."
"Oh... hello."
Abra suddenly realized.
I just heard today that the leader of the Chaos City has awakened. I didn't expect to run into him in this place. Abra still has a lot of respect for this leader. It is said that this leader has already entered the Void Realm, so it is not surprising that he didn't notice it in advance.
Abra's hostility faded a little.
"I thought you would be meeting guests in the royal city today."
A Sulin: "After sleeping for a few years, Jie Ling has become more adept at handling things. This is where my children often play. I wanted to come and see it, but I ran into you."
"so."
Abra had heard about the young master of the Northern Territory and couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Let’s put it in our shoes: if their king had died at such a young age, they would probably find it hard to let go.
"The King wanted to go out for a walk today, and it's fate that we met you. Oh, by the way, we are the mermaids from the Western Sea, and this is our King."
Abra smiled. "It's not customary for a king to have a given name before he reaches adulthood. If you want to communicate this to the outside world, you can call the king Siren."
The Siren is a famous king in the history of the mermaids. Records say that their singing was so beautiful that it could attract fishing boats along the coast to run aground and even cause seabirds to lose their way.
Therefore, before the kings of later generations came of age, their subjects called them "Siren" as a blessing.
It was also the first time that Ning Ren knew the name he was being addressed by. Before this, he thought he had no name, but now it didn’t matter!
While they were talking, Ning Ren kept trying to pull his sleeves back.
But his father held it tightly, and he couldn't pull it out at all.
He still remembered the scene last night. He just shook hands with his father for a while, and the blood knot in his father's heart reappeared once again. If it appeared again because of physical contact, no matter how good his acting skills were, he would be helpless!
"Siren," A Sulin muttered softly, "A Ren..."
Abra: "Is this a special name in the Northern Territory? It sounds a bit strange." Asulin called the king by his name, and he did not feel offended because both of them were leaders of a powerful race and had equal status.
Asulin's eyes seemed to see through the strange skin of the cub and see his soul.
Ning Ren: “…”
Can this also be associated?
He looked towards Abra for help.
Help.
Although Abra didn't receive the king's distress signal, he did notice that the king hadn't pulled back his sleeves several times. He gently reminded him, "Chief Asulin, there's a bruise on the king's wrist. Please let go. Thank you for your help."
Ning Ren: “…………”
It’s better not to say it.
A Sulin said: "Can I see it? There is an excellent medicine in the City of Chaos. Maybe it will heal faster if you apply it on it."
Ning Ren said stiffly, "It has been treated with medicine and bandaged. Thank you, Chief Asulin, for your concern."
Asulin didn't move, and no one knew what he was insisting on.
Ning Ren: "It hurts a little."
Asulin's pupils shrank and his hand loosened as if he had been electrocuted.
Ning Ren took a step back, but Asulin grabbed the other hand again.
Abra: “?”
He finally noticed something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and saw something strange in the young leader's expression.
A Sulin looked at him intently and asked, "Do you want to live in the palace?"
"The food in the palace is the best, and we also have the newest toys from outside." He needed some confirmation on the outrageous guess in his heart.
Abra: “???”
He also squatted down, held his king's shoulders, and exerted a little force, "Don't worry, Chief Asulin, our tribe is fully prepared and will not let the king go without food and clothing."
Asulin paused and said calmly: "The nobles can move their entire clan into the palace."
He pulled Ning Ren towards him.
Abra: “???”
At this moment, he completely believed that the subtle feeling in his heart that his child was being targeted and was about to be abducted was real.
Abra was furious and angry, with only a little sympathy left.
Yes, your child is gone, and it's a pity that your young master died. But there's no need to kidnap their tribe's king! Bah! Abducting a human child will be punished by thunder!
This is the king of their tribe, stay away!
It turns out that long-legged bipeds are not good things. It’s better to live in the sea.
But he controlled himself very well, his eyes still showing that impeccable gentle social smile.
"That's not necessary. The meeting is coming up soon anyway. Wang won't be able to adapt to the sudden change of location."
A Sulin: "We can go visit the palace together."
A subtle sense of stalemate.
Ning Ren was almost numb.
The hat on his head suddenly moved, and the Guhuo bird poked its head out from the hat.
She cursed: "What are you robbing! What are you robbing! A bunch of &%%￥uh——"
The dirty words disappeared in Ning Ren's hands.
A Sulin: “…”
Abra: “…”
The cub's precise, swift, and even bizarre angle of pinching the bird's mouth to prevent it from swearing all have an indelible sense of familiarity.
Ning Ren wished he could disappear right there.
While Asulin was stunned, he grabbed his other hand and returned the picked red fruit to the stunned Congcong, then quickly hugged Abra's arm, his legs turned into blue fish tails, and dived into Abra's arms.
"thirsty."
Upon hearing this, Abra quickly stood up and said seriously, "I'm sorry, Chief Asulin, I have to go back. The king needs water."
Although he didn't know why the king was still thirsty after replenishing water in the shell bed all night, it was right to leave. The leader of the Mi tribe had evil intentions towards their young king.
Ning Ren glanced back quietly.
Asulin was still squatting in the same position, as if he had not reacted yet.
He was much thinner than before, and his back looked lonely.
Ning Ren said sorry in his heart.
If he survives this time, he will definitely recognize Asulin.
-
Congcong walked up to Asulin.
It wanted to help its leader, but was too scared to ask, "Are you okay?"
A Sulin seemed to have just woken up.
He stood up and looked in the direction where Abra and Ning Ren had just left.
Congcong hesitated: "You also think he looks like A Ren, right?"
A Sulin: “He is not.”
Congcong: "...Don't be sad."
Asulin touched his chest.
"But here tells me that he is."
The blood knot broke, and after he woke up, the withdrawal reaction eroded his heart every moment. The intense pain miraculously disappeared when he got close to the child.
And now, it hurts again.
Eyes can be deceiving.
The body won’t, and neither will the withdrawal reaction.
