“I still have some special snowflakes, let me give you another one.” With that, Shen Zhiyi took out another special snowflake.
The NPC stopped her, saying, "No need, one photo is enough. There's no need to waste a special snowflake."
"These special snowflakes are so precious, you should keep them safe."
"That's a gift from winter; you must cherish it."
Shen Zhiyi always felt that this NPC was keeping silent, and that he knew a lot of things.
"There's still a lot I don't understand about that legend. Could you tell me about it?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhiyi asked this question.
The NPC nodded. "Of course, what would you like to ask?"
"Was the stolen crown of Dias important to their mermaid king?"
“Of course.” The NPC’s expression suddenly became somewhat dazed. “That is a symbol of power. Without the crown, the mermaids will not acknowledge Dias as their king.”
"Even without the crown, there are still people willing to follow Dias, aren't there?"
“Dias… They all say that Dias is an excellent person, so some mermaids are willing to follow him even without a crown.”
Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips. "Isn't that contradictory?"
"Maybe." The NPC chuckled.
"Are all the mermaids in the North Sea really wiped out?" Shen Zhiyi continued to ask.
"I don't know. They say they were wiped out, but... who knows? What if there are still mermaids in the North Sea?" The NPC didn't give Shen Zhiyi a clear answer.
Shen Zhiyi blinked. "The crown is still in Jingya's hands, right?"
"Yes, it's still in Jingya's hands." The NPC lowered his head and washed the vegetables in his hands. "The things belonging to the mermaids in the North Sea are also in Jingya's hands."
"However... I can tell you that the Sea King Trident is hidden in a certain sea area, and Jingya has been searching for it."
If you're interested, you can look for it; you might be pleasantly surprised.
surprise?
Shen Zhiyi felt that this surprise might be very different, and might even turn into a shock.
"Oh right, Jingya hasn't discovered the mermaid ruins in the South China Sea yet. Perhaps you could go and look for them too."
The NPC's words were quite meaningful.
Shen Zhiyi felt that since the NPC had said that, if she didn't go, wouldn't that be ungrateful?
"Alright, go make some vegetable pancakes." The NPC put the last handful of washed vegetables into the basket and propped himself up.
Shen Zhiyi picked up the basket and followed the NPC into the kitchen.
"Is this legend something everyone knows?" Shen Zhiyi felt that this was told to her alone.
The NPC shook his head. "It's just a legend; what you know is definitely not as comprehensive as what I know."
Shen Zhiyi stopped asking questions.
After making the vegetable pancakes, Shen Zhiyi took two and played with the kittens in the yard. Fox Moon, a little fox, joined in and had a great time.
Little Fish was scratching the wall in the pet space, wanting to come out and play, but Shen Zhiyi held it down tightly.
If we let the dried fish out, wouldn't it scare the kittens away?
Black Wolf was the most sensible one, staying quietly in the pet space.
The little dried fish had no choice but to stay in the pet space, feeling rather aggrieved.
I wish I hadn't grown up back then! Now it can't go out to play, it's so sad.
It wasn't until evening that Shen Zhiyi went into the kitchen early, insisting on cooking for herself, saying she couldn't let an old woman cook.
After rummaging through the ingredients in her backpack, Shen Zhiyi made three dishes and a soup, making a little too much, and packed one portion for Nalan Zhao.
During this period, Nalan Zhao relied entirely on the food left by Shen Zhiyi before she left. If Shen Zhiyi stopped taking care of him, he would really starve to death.
After taking the photo and sending it to Nalan Zhao, Nalan Zhao immediately replied to the message.
"Sister, are you alright?"
"Will it be tiring on the island? I brought you some Moon Mud from Moon Island, you can use it on your face."
"If you're too busy, you don't have to cook for me. I can just eat whatever I want."
"Sister, please take good care of yourself on the island. You must not get hurt."
"Oh, right, sister, I have some wound medicine here. I'll give it to you just in case."
Shen Zhiyi sent a photo, and Nalan Zhao quickly sent more, afraid of being late, so Shen Zhiyi put her phone away.
Shen Zhiyi touched her nose; she hadn't remembered that there was such a thing.
This is really messed up.
"I'm doing fine on the island, don't worry." Shen Zhiyi replied to Nalan Zhao after considering her words for a moment.
Nalan Zhao was still a little worried, so he said, "Sister, shall I come and find you?"
"?"
Is this island instance a place that Nalan Zhao can come to whenever he wants?
"Sister, may I come to find you?" If Nalan Zhao had ears on her head, they would probably droop down right now.
Shen Zhiyi was somewhat helpless. Why did this child always have such unpredictable ideas?
"No, you stay in the interstellar space. Once the island instance is over, I'll naturally go back."
Shen Zhiyi still refused Nalan Zhao's idea of coming to the island instance.
Nalan Zhao was somewhat unhappy and replied with a sullen "okay".
"Don't be sad, it'll be over soon," Shen Zhiyi coaxed.
However, Shen Zhiyi really felt that the fifteen days given by the system were not enough, as more than half of the time had already passed.
She hadn't even been to North Town or Central Town yet.
Not to mention the mermaid ruins in the South China Sea that the NPC mentioned to her today.
Shen Zhiyi gets a headache just thinking about it now.
After coaxing Nalan Zhao a couple of times, Shen Zhiyi put away the multi-functional phone.
After dinner, Shen Zhiyi helped carry the NPC's fishing box and followed the NPC back to the fishing spot from the previous night.
A string of kittens followed her, along with a fox spirit hidden among them.
Shen Zhiyi also brought a small stool and sat next to the NPC, watching him fish.
There are plenty of fish in the river, and the NPC never comes up empty-handed.
The NPC caught a fish, and before it could eat it, the kitten ran up and meowed around its feet, hoping the NPC would give it the fish first.
The NPCs would always smile and pat the cats' heads.
"Can you fish for me for a bit? I'm going home to get something." The NPC suddenly handed over the fishing rod.
Shen Zhiyi took it, somewhat bewildered. "Okay, shall we let Hu Yue go back with you?"
"Hey, why go to all that trouble? It's just a short walk, I can go by myself. Can you fish for me for a bit?"
The NPC patted his pants, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked home.
Shen Zhiyi sensed something was amiss, but ultimately didn't ask.
I just watched the NPC walk away step by step.
One or two cats glanced at the fishing rod still in the river, then at the departing NPC, and finally decided to follow in his footsteps.
