Chapter 38 Is this human?
The scene here is truly spectacular!
Seagrass and strange trees that cannot be named grow on the seabed. The branches and leaves of the plants are as soft as silk, rippling and swaying gently in the water waves, as if they are alive. When you look up, you can see colorful fish swimming in the sea above, just like birds looking up at the sky from the ground.
"Oh my God, my God, it's so beautiful!"
Aurora looked left and right, her eyes widening the most since she was born.
What I saw in just these few seconds was more shocking than all the beautiful scenery the girl had seen since she was born. She believed that it exceeded the sum total of the magnificent sights that almost everyone in Rose Kingdom had seen from birth to death!
Suddenly, Aurora's heart moved, and she had some strange emotion:
If the teacher had not changed the trajectory of her destiny when she was born, and the witches had chosen another path for her - the path destined to sleep, she would certainly not have been able to see this magnificent dream scene.
At this time, she must still be locked in the palace made of brass.
The square blue sky and a few white clouds of different shapes outside the window were her whole world.
The more she thought about it, the more fortunate she became. That night 10 years ago, the sage of the kingdom chose another path for her.
The big fish swam for a while with Rhine and Aurora in its belly, and they saw a palace - a gorgeous building made of coral, amber and pearls.
"This is the first time I have seen so many beautiful and big pearls. Any one of them is more round and beautiful than the pearl on the queen mother's hat!"
Aurora put her palms against the belly of the big transparent fish, widened her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's the palace of the Neptune. The garden outside the palace is divided into many areas, belonging to the mermaid princesses." Rhine said, "We have come to the country of mermaids."
Aurora looked curiously at the teacher whose height was getting closer to hers.
Is this the first time for both of us here? Why are you so familiar, like a guide revisiting an old place?
However, Aurora immediately accepted this setting - maybe the magician is so knowledgeable, and as a warrior, she doesn't have to think about this kind of thing.
It's so similar to the scene described in the book of his previous life. No, the scene he saw with his own eyes was more magnificent and beautiful than the words... Rhine thought.
A giant lantern fish with two humans in its transparent belly. Such a strange sight suddenly attracted the little mermaids around!
In all directions, dozens of little mermaids were seen swimming towards the big fish that Rhine and Aurora were "riding".
"No, the mermaids are coming."
Aurora looked warily at the mermaids swimming from different directions, and quickly pulled out the sword at her waist - it was the best sword in the Rose Kingdom. The king and queen specially asked top craftsmen to make it for her.
But the moment the sword was unsheathed, Aurora immediately realized that her actions seemed meaningless.
"What should we do if the mermaids attack us with magic or weapons? In the belly of a big fish, I can't fight at all! If I tear the belly of the big fish, then we will sink into the deep sea. ”
Aurora panicked, and the horrific stories about the mermaid curse in the kingdom's literature and folklore echoed in the girl's mind.
However, in those stories, it was just the singing of four or five mermaids that brought about the doomsday storm and destroyed the giant ship. Now they are in the mermaid kingdom in the deep sea, facing dozens of mermaids at the same time!
"Don't panic." Rhine said with a smile, "In fact, mermaids should be a relatively peaceful race. Those horrific curses and legends are probably just misinterpretations of mermaids."
Aurora looked at the silver-haired boy next to her with suspicion. Although she was still worried, she still chose to believe the teacher.
After a while, dozens of little mermaids all swam over and surrounded the big lantern fish. They looked curiously at the two people in the fish's belly.
Aurora was surprised to find that after seeing the humans in the transparent bellies, none of the mermaids pulled out weapons, cast magic, or sang songs that could call out huge waves and storms as in the legend.
These strange creatures with fish tails are actually quite kind!
"Look, I said it," Rhine said with a smile.
I saw mermaids clinging 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 weird, as if they were animals in a circus, being watched in a glass enclosure.
"You all come here and take a look. The belly of this lantern fish is transparent, and there are two humanoid creatures inside!"
"Hey, it's true!"
"These two guys are so ugly and scary. Their upper bodies are similar to ours, but they are completely deformed from the waist down! I dare not take another look!"
"Have their tails been cut off under their waists and turned into two ugly and weird meat pillars?"
"What do you know? Those are called legs. They are humans living in the upper world! The physiological structure of humans is so weird."
"Human? Are they really human? How could humans come to the water?"
"I heard from my mother that only shipwrecked sailors as dead people can come to the palace in the sea. Are these two human beings dead people?"
"Of course they are dead, do you still need to ask? Look at them both, they have been eaten by the big fish."
"..."
The little mermaids started talking about it.
It was the first time for them to see a big fish take humans into the sea!
No, it’s attracting onlookers... Also, who is ugly without a tail? You are ugly if you have a tail... Wait, no, 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 she was talking to.
Before Aurora could say anything, Rhine naturally started talking to the mermaids:
"Yes, we come from the upper world."
