Chapter 38 Is this a human being?
The scenery here is really spectacular! Seaweed and strange trees whose names I can't tell grow on the seabed. The branches and leaves of the plants are as soft as silk, swaying gently in the waves, as if they have life. If you look up, you can see colorful fish swimming in the sea above, just like looking up at the birds flying in the sky from the ground.
“Oh my god, oh my god, it’s so beautiful!”
Aurora looked left and right, her eyes widening as wide as they had ever been since she was born.
The sights she had seen in just a few seconds were more stunning than any other beautiful scene she had ever seen since she was born. She believed that it was also more magnificent than the sum of all the magnificent scenes that almost everyone in the Kingdom of Rose had seen from birth to death!
Suddenly, Aurora's heart moved, and she had some strange feelings:
If her teacher had not changed the trajectory of her fate when she was born, and the witches had chosen another path for her - the path that led to destined sleep, she would definitely not have been able to see this magnificent dream scene.
At this moment, she must still be locked in the brass palace.
The square blue sky outside the window and several white clouds of different shapes are her whole world.
The more she thought about it, the more fortunate she was that the sage of the kingdom chose another path for her that night 10 years ago.
The big fish swam for a while with Rhine and Aurora in its belly, and they saw a palace - a magnificent building made of coral, amber and pearls.
"It is the first time I have seen so many beautiful and large pearls. Any one of them is rounder and more beautiful than the ones on the Queen Mother's hat!"
Aurora put her palm against the transparent belly of the big fish, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"That's the palace of the Sea King. The garden outside the palace is divided into many parts, each belonging to the mermaid princesses." Rhine said, "We have come to the kingdom of mermaids."
Aurora looked curiously at the teacher whose height was getting closer to hers.
Is this the first time for both of us? How come you are so familiar with this place, like a guide who has just returned from an old trip?
However, Aurora immediately accepted this setting - perhaps the magician was just so knowledgeable, and as a warrior, she didn't have to consider such things.
It was exactly like the scene described in the book in my previous life. No, the scene I saw with my own eyes was more magnificent and beautiful than words... Rhine thought.
A giant lantern fish with two humans in its transparent belly. This strange sight immediately attracted the surrounding mermaids! Dozens of mermaids swam towards the big fish that Rhine and Aurora were riding.
"Oh no, the mermaids are coming."
Aurora looked warily at the mermaids swimming towards her from different directions, and quickly drew the sword at her waist - it was the best sword in the Kingdom of Rose, specially made for her by the king and queen and commissioned top craftsmen.
But the moment the sword was unsheathed, Aurora immediately realized that her action seemed to be meaningless.
"What should we do if the mermen attack us with magic or weapons? I can't fight in the belly of a big fish! If I tear the belly of the big fish apart, we will sink into the deep sea."
Aurora was panicked. The horror stories about the mermaid curse in the kingdom's documents and folk tales echoed in the girl's mind.
However, in those stories, it was nothing more than the singing of four or five mermaids that brought the doomsday storm and destroyed the giant ship.
Now they are in the mermaid kingdom of the deep sea, facing dozens of mermaids at the same time!
"Don't panic." Rhine said with a calm and confident look, "In fact, mermaids should be a relatively peaceful race. Those horrible curses and legends should just be a misunderstanding of mermaids."
Aurora looked at the silver-haired boy beside her doubtfully. Although she was still nervous, she chose to believe the teacher.
After a while, dozens of little mermaids swam over and surrounded the big lantern fish, looking at it curiously and observing the two people in the fish's belly.
Aurora was surprised to find that after seeing the humans in the transparent belly, none of the mermaids drew their weapons, cast magic, or sang songs that could summon huge waves and storms as the legend said.
These strange creatures with fish tails are actually quite friendly! "See, I told you so," Rhine said with a smile.
The mermaids were seen sticking to the transparent belly of the big fish, looking at the two humanoid creatures inside, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
——This made Aurora feel strange, as if they were animals in a circus, hidden in a glass case for people to watch.
"Come and have a look, everyone! The belly of this lantern fish is transparent, and there are two humanoid creatures inside!"
"Oh, really!"
"These two guys are so ugly and scary. Their upper bodies are similar to ours, but below the waist they are completely deformed! I don't even dare to look at them any more!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Were their tails cut off below their waists, turning them into two ugly, weird-looking pillars of flesh?"
"What do you know? That's called a leg. They are humans living in the upper world! Human physiology is just so weird."
"Humans? Really humans? How did humans get into the water?"
"I heard from my mother that only sailors who are in distress can come to the palace in the sea as dead people. Are these two humans dead people?"
"Of course they are dead. Is there any need to ask? Look at them both. They were eaten by the big fish."
“…”
The little mermaids began to talk among themselves.
The big fish brought humans into the sea. This was the first time they had seen such a sight! Oh no, it attracted a lot of onlookers... Also, who is ugly without a tail? You are ugly only when you have a tail... Wait, no, no, who is the dead person...
Aurora wanted to argue with the mermaids, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know where to start.
Before Aurora could say anything, Rhine naturally started talking to the mermaids:
"Yes, we are from the upper world."
