Chapter 51 I feel sorry for the mermaids
Rhine and Aurora smiled and agreed to the old grandmother's invitation.
So the old grandmother left.
Ariel swam over again, thanked Rhine and Aurora again, and was about to say goodbye to them and take the potion with her to the world above.
"Afterwards, if you encounter any difficulties in pursuing that prince, you can come to me for help." Rhine said.
He then gave Ariel a silver mirror:
"I have attached magic to this mirror. You face the mirror and tell your dilemma. I can hear you even if you are several kingdoms away."
Since leaving the Kingdom of Rose, Rhine has never heard the voice of prayer reciting his name.
——Obviously, the perception based on names also has strict distance restrictions, which is far from enough in this vast continent.
Therefore, for this mermaid friend, he specially prepared this gift to contact him.
"Thank you, I will never forget you."
Ariel was grateful beyond words, waved goodbye, and floated to the world above.
After a while, Rhine felt that the power of Ariel's wish merged into his soul, like a stream flowing into the sea.
Apparently, on the shore at this time, the mermaid princess grew human legs.
While absorbing the wish power, a beautiful melody vaguely sounded in Rhine's ears.
This beautiful song was like the ebb and flow of the ocean tide, rushing endlessly in his veins and integrated into his soul.
【Song of the Mermaid Princess】
——This is the reward for realizing your wish this time.
According to the knowledge that comes to mind when absorbing the power of wish, the mermaid princess's song has two functions:
First of all, the beauty of this song surpasses both land and sea. It can make the heart throb in anyone who hears it!
Secondly, this song can also soothe fish and sea beasts in the sea
As long as the sea creatures hear this song, they will be close to him and regard him as a close friend. He can even use his song to compel these sea creatures to help! For example, let fish point out the location of strong currents, or command sea monsters to pull away ships.
Of course, as a magician, Rhine does not necessarily have to sing the song himself. He can use magic to perform the song.
For example, as long as he pats the shell, the shell will open its mouth and sing this beautiful song. Just throw the lyre in the air and the lyre can play this wonderful music.
"Whether it's performing as a band or sailing on the sea, it's a very useful ability!"
"I really didn't expect that the 'reward' I got in the end was the same as what the sea hag asked for, which was Ariel's singing." Rhine thought.
But as a magician of wishes, the power of wishes paid the reward for Ariel herself.
At this time, Aurora seemed to think of something and said:
"By the way, teacher, although we have obtained information about the dark witch Maleficent. But can we not rush to find her first? I want to see Ariel get the love of the prince with my own eyes, get an immortal soul, and then Let’s go.”
"Of course. Anyway, now, even if you find Maleficent, you can't defeat the dragon." Rhine said, "Besides, I have my own arrangements."
There is no doubt that Ariel's greatest wish is to obtain an immortal soul.
Rhine also wanted to wait until this wish was realized before leaving.
He was looking forward to seeing how the mermaid princess, who had retained her beautiful singing voice and speaking ability, and could perfectly perform light dance movements without being affected by pain, would perform in the following stories!
Aurora looked at the deep blue almost black water above her head, thought of something again, and said slightly sadly:
"I feel a little sorry for the mermaids." "What's the pity?"
"I sincerely hope that Ariel can succeed in gaining the love of that handsome prince. However, even if Princess Ariel succeeds in gaining an immortal soul, it will only redeem herself. All the other mermaids in this sea will eventually become For a bubble that no one knows about, not even a grave will be left for them," Aurora sighed.
"This task is so difficult even for the most beloved little mermaid princess. Let alone thousands of other ordinary mermaids!"
Having been with Rhine for many years and being raised by this teacher from outside the world, Aurora always thinks about problems from a more novel perspective.
Rhine smiled:
“Interesting direction of thinking.
"You are the crown prince of the kingdom, but you grew up without knowing your identity.
"A child who grew up playing with ordinary civilian children will eventually become the new king of the kingdom. He will definitely think more than those kings who grew up in a gorgeous palace.
"When you think from a larger perspective, when you can see thousands of people behind one person, you are learning to be an excellent king - this is one of the purposes of this journey. .”
Although Rhine does not look much older than the 10-year-old girl next to him, on such occasions, he always tries to act more mature and more like a wise man and teacher.
"So what do you mean? Teacher." Aurora asked, vaguely guessing something.
"Let's look forward to the ending of this story together. The ending of the mermaid princess Ariel and this sea kingdom."
Rhine raised his chin and looked up at the thick, dark blue, almost black water.
In two hours, the light of dawn will penetrate the deep sea.
The sun shines equally on the human kingdom on earth and on the kingdom beneath the ten thousand waters.
……
The sun rises in the east.
The sun penetrated the sea water and shone on Neptune's palace.
Greeting the dawn in the kingdom of the sea is a magnificent sight that no human being can see in his lifetime:
After the sunlight penetrates the sea water, it appears gentle but not dazzling, dyeing the entire sea area in a rose color. And Neptune's court gradually woke up in this beautiful morning.
As promised, the old grandmother entered Neptune's palace with Rhine and Aurora, who had already read the information about Maleficent, the dark witch.
When the large lantern fish with a transparent belly and two humans inside swam into the palace gate, the princes and nobles were shocked by such a wonderful scene.
"This is amazing!"
"Are they the two human beings who set foot on the sea for the first time in history?"
No matter how much you claim to be a knowledgeable mermaid scholar, you must admit that such a thing has never happened.
"Haha, this is a fairy tale version of a submarine. You may have never seen it before." Rhine couldn't help but think to himself as he looked at the wide-eyed mermaids outside through the transparent belly of the big fish.
And the most shocking thing is His Majesty the King of the Sea
The monarch of the sea was not surprised by the strange appearance of the two humans - many of his subordinates had already described this scene to him carefully.
What surprised Neptune was that the person leading the two humans as guests turned out to be his old mother!
Didn't she just object last night to the intersection between humans and mermaids, the world on land and underwater?
