Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 142 The Song of the Mermaid (Two in One)

Mr. Scholar created a huge floating water polo, and Weiner got into the water polo.She obviously knew the identity of this strange blue masked person, and she was as comfortable as at home under Mr. Scholar's spell.Weiner felt the cold water flow, and felt the long-lost comfort of not having to worry about his own life.Her purple eyes opened again, looking at Lyle through a water curtain.

On the arm extending out of the water polo, the beautiful and small oval-shaped scales glow with iridescence in the night.Just like when swimming in deep water, Weiner's palm supported Lyle's cheek, and that sweet voice, accompanied by joy and gratitude pouring into his mind, flowed in Lyle's mind like water.

"Thank you, Epidemic Doctor."

"I promised you, and I did."

Sliding like a snake, Wiener's arms wrapped around Lyall's neck.The distance between the two also suddenly shortened. On both sides of the thin wall of the water polo, Wiener in the water and Lyle in the air, two pairs of eyes admired each other's soul.Between hearts, a river connects the two.

"I'm going home soon, Epidemic Doctor, back to Moshuay. Until then, can you promise me a request?"

"any request?"

"Don't reject me."

"?"

Before Lyle could make any reply or inquiry, the scholar interrupted the two of them.

"Weina needs a good rest. Her body needs to be well adjusted to ensure that she can blend into the deep sea well. You too, epidemic doctor, you who have completed advanced transformation also need a good rest. Go back early. We still have a long way to go tomorrow. Way to go, to get to Moshuai."

"Okay, teacher."

Lyle said goodbye to Weiner, and Nia reached out two tentacles into the water polo and touched Weiner's cheek lightly.

"Goodbye, sister."

. . . . . .

The next day, the time agreed with Mr. Scholar was at noon, and Lyle communicated about the blue stripe on the ring.The light flickered, Lyle's body twisted into noodles in the void, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Lyle felt like throwing up when he saw himself kneeling in the wilderness, his internal organs as if thrown into a blender running at full power.But he held back, because his beak mask would definitely pour the vomit into his mouth or paste it on his face.The same is true for Nia, her body is like a dehydrated jellyfish spread out on the ground, a tentacle patted her body feebly.

"Plague doctor, you fainted from the portal. It's such unfortunate news." Mr. Scholar was standing beside her, and Weiner's water polo was also floating in the shade not far away. Looking at Lyle who is not feeling well.

Obviously, the reverse teleportation initiated by Mr. Scholar is not very pleasant.

Lyle took a few deep breaths, and the herbal-scented air cooled the water-filled brain a lot.

"I think so, teacher, is this symptom serious?"

"It's actually not serious. It's a normal phenomenon. The situation varies from person to person. It's like some people don't like to take transportation by nature. The portal may be a little worse than that, because the distortion of space will interfere with the stability of the soul. .Even some dead people still have the symptoms of dizziness to the portal. I said unfortunately because, when we go to Moshul, we will experience about [-] space teleportations. Yes, for you, The rest of the journey will be a torture."

Lyle's body trembled, and Nia was completely on his body, and the tremor was transmitted to Lyle's body along with her tentacles.

If I had known I would not have lunch.

"Let's get started, teacher, I'm fine."

"Then I'll try to cast spells as slowly as possible, are you ready?"

Just as Lyle was about to reply, Weiner's bubbles floated over, wrapping Nia into the water polo.Viner and Nia hugged each other, arms wrapped around Lyall's neck.

"Ready."

The three of them turned into a flash and disappeared.

In the transmission channel, there are many light spots around Lyle, and those light spots grow into lines under the action of high speed.Lyle's body was dragged forward by a powerful attraction, as if he was in a straw, being squeezed from one end to the other.The disgusting dizziness also came as expected, and just when Lyle was about to bear it, the heavy dizziness in the past was very slight at this time, like a little drizzle hitting the skin.The tranquility of the deep sea came into my mind, as if I was sitting at the bottom of the water, gazing at the shining water surface.Let the waves be rough, here, there is only unshakable silence.

"Wina."

"I can help you share, this strange feeling."

The thoughts of the two converged together, as did their emotions, and so did their feelings.In the silence and loneliness of the world, we can only feel each other's heartbeat.

It's like taking a train to a distant country, those lights are the beautiful scenery outside the glass.But those do not belong to you, only your traveling companions, the people sitting across from you, are the real part of you, and the destination in the distance.

The feeling of being on land was so comforting that Lyle almost cried with joy when his boots hit the soft ground.Although Weiner helped him share the dizziness, the superimposed effect of the long-distance transmission still made Lyle almost vomit.

Taking a deep breath, Lyle smelled something different.

The waves lapping on the embankment, the salty sea breeze blowing with the spray, and the chirping seabirds flying in the wind.

In front of him is a vast ocean.The thunderclouds floating in the water not far away stirred up the storm on the water surface, and the waves slapped on the cliffs, making the mountain rocks evener.The color of the sea water is not like the azure blue in Lyle's imagination. In fact, it is more like the blue-black ink, but it may also be the reason for the cloudy sky above.It looks like the area is going to rain soon.

Following in the footsteps of Mr. Scholar, Lyle walked up a mountain road leading directly to the top of the steep mountain wall facing the ocean.This cliff is very special, and Lyle discovered it at the first step.The soil here is not as soft as on the flat ground, like ice.

"Princes didn't learn how to protect the environment. When she lost her temper, she would always freeze the surrounding plants, and the dwindling vegetation caused soil erosion, which in turn affected the place where she lived. As a last resort, she froze all the surrounding plants. soil of."

So we're up against the hysterical dragon priestess next?Hope our speed of rescue can satisfy her.

The shape of the entire mountain is like a pointed cone, the earth and rocks on both sides are continuously reduced, and when it reaches the top of the mountain, a house appears.

The main body supported by several damaged wooden pillars, the scattered thatched roofs are frozen by ice and snow, outside the cabin, there is a hanging fishing net, two rough handmade fishing rods, and a small damaged wooden boat.The owner of the house sensed the visitor and walked out of the house.

Princess is like a moving ice sculpture, with her tall figure and the indifference on her face, even if she gets close, she will feel cold all over her body.She obviously didn't fit in with this cabin, to be precise, the noble and arrogant Prince was not suitable for this cabin.

"Weina!" Princess opened her mouth, like an avalanche erupting, "I warned you, don't come to land! Don't leave my sight!"

Princess beckoned, and Weiner's water polo floated in front of her.Princes kept scolding Weiner, and you could feel the concern she wanted to express, in the howling scolding.Scolding and scolding can't be treated correctly, as it is now, Weiner curled up, hiding his face behind his fishtail.

Sensing Weiner's resistance, Princess was like a deflated ball, and could only sigh helplessly, "Go back, Weiner, go back to Moshuay, before it's too late, Before you get hurt."

Princess manipulated the water polo to move beyond the cliff, trying to release Weiner back into the sea.

The mermaid became tense all of a sudden. She swam in the water polo, and finally struggled to squeeze out of the water polo. The mermaid's body fell on the frozen ground, and the moisture on her body quickly condensed into ice flowers.

"What are you doing again, Wiener."

The mermaid gestured towards Princess with her arm, pointed at Lyle, and pointed at herself.

Princess gradually understood what she meant, but this also completely ignited her anger.

The dark clouds in the sky swirled down, cold wind and blizzard blew up around Princess, and thorny ice continued to condense around her, like dangerous flowers in bloom.Her roar turned into a terrifying and gloomy god's roar in the ice and snow, impacting on the trembling mermaid girl.

"You idiot! I will never allow you to sing the mermaid song to a human!"

"Absolutely not! Now, before I punish you, go back to the bottom of the sea!"

The ice tornado mixed with weapons made a rustling sound in the air.

The trembling mermaid didn't answer anymore, her motionless figure lying on the solid ice was the best answer.

The whirling sharp blade kept approaching Weiner's body, and even the fragile mermaid body had already drawn wounds in the air.

"Morokei, let me go! Immediately!"

Mr. Scholar controlled the crazy Princess, and all the flying snow and frost elements were repelled outside.

Lyle approached Weiner, and Nia stretched out her tentacles and began to clean Weiner's wounds.

"Are you OK?"

"Fortunately."

"Why is Princess so angry, and what is the song of the mermaid?"

"That's a blessing ceremony for us mermaids. The person who listens to our singing will be blessed by the sea. He will be able to survive in the deep sea just like us, just as naturally as you can survive on land."

"Are there no side effects? For example, staying in the sea forever, unable to return to land."

"No, you can live in the sea and on land as you like."

That said, it's a pretty powerful blessing.Lyle was a little moved.

"Ms. Princes, the song of the mermaid is a very precious ability."

Unexpectedly, the furious Prince stopped her fury, "Morokei, let me down."

"Relax, Princess, they're all just kids."

"I'm calm now, put me down."

Ms. Princes came to Lyle and looked at him condescendingly.

She took a deep breath.

"Mermaids are not a strong population, they are just a group of eliminated ones in evolution. Weiner, why do you think that we, who are weak, are qualified to give other races the blessing of the sea, just relying on the daughter of the sea in your memory?" Poetry?"

"My silly girl, reality is not the poetry of those damned romantic poets."

"I'll tell you why Hai's daughter didn't stay with the prince in the end."

"Because the mermaid song in your mind is not a blessing, but a curse!"

"After you sing, if this human falls with you, his life will be shortened to only ten years."

"This is the price that land people need to enter the seabed!"

"You want someone who saved you to ruin his whole life for the sake of your momentary favor, and let the rest of his life stay in regret!"

Rain, pouring down.

The heavy rain washed over everyone's body, and also washed over everyone's heart.

"Go back, Weiner, go back to Moshuai, and continue to be that innocent girl. Even if you still insist on singing the mermaid song, even if this human promises to accompany you with the remaining ten years of life, I will not allow it This kind of thing happened!"

Weiner was bathed in rain, and in the darkness, those bright yellow eyes stared at Lyle.Those eyes, not so long ago, still immersed in the pain of disillusionment, are now clear.Weiner, for the first time, made his own voice, as clear and beautiful as a mountain spring.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Princess, but I want to sing to the Plague Doctor."

Princess took a step back, cupping her face in her palms.

"It's up to you, silly girl."

"Pandemic doctor, promise me one condition?"

"What are the conditions?"

"Please be sure to reject me."

Weiner started her singing, and in the melodious singing, Lyle returned to the time when she was diving in the deep water with her. The girl in front of her was wrapped in beautiful fantasy and brilliance, just like a princess in a fairy tale.She is no different from the princess in front of her eyes. The rain falls on her body, just like the pearl coat worn by the princess, and her scales glow with rainbow colors, like gorgeous jewelry.

The mermaid's singing was like the evening wind blowing into the distance, and it also echoed in Lyle's mind.

Somehow, Lyle decided to take off the Plague Doctor's mask.

The black pupils and black hair under the beak mask are reflected in Weiner's pupils.

"I'm Lyle, Lyle Buhler, thank you very much for singing, Weiner, we'll see you... see you later."

The water trickled slowly in the corner of Weiner's eyes, and she smiled, a heartbreaking smile.

"Thank you, Lyle."

The daughter of the sea leaped lightly and returned to the deep sea with sparkling splashes.

Lyle looked at the direction in which Weiner was going away.

In the deep sea, this time, she was alone.

Lyall put on the mask and walked to the scholar.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I want to be alone for a while."

"Go, boy, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Lyle left, and the scholar watched the direction of his movement, just as Princess watched the sea.

"Princes, you didn't tell him..."

"Tell that human something."

"Mermaids can only make a sound once in their life, singing a song, when they are courting. There is magic in their vocal cords, which will be torn after using once, and from then on, only a roar like a beast will be left From now on, Weiner will only stay alone in Moshuai, and will never have the right to find a partner."

"What can I do! I have already warned her, this is her decision! Do I want to watch the tragedy happen again! You and I both know that the boy does not belong to the deep sea."

"But he has the right to know the truth, how much Weiner paid."

"No! He doesn't need to know! The truth is not what really matters, Morroki you idiot, the encounter between a mermaid and a human was bound to be a mistake! I will not allow such a mistake to happen again, but my children, They're all idiots!"

"Mermen are just beautiful creatures who are impulsive and fond of fantasy."

"Humans are passionate and contradictory complex creatures. You are like sweet poison, leaving only scars."

"Is this your conclusion, Princess."

"Yes, poison, the poison that you still have to drink knowing the ending. I will always watch those delusional children and prevent them from reaching out to their fantasy hands. For such a tragedy, only one warning is enough."

Princes caressed the wooden boat at her feet, her restless breath became calm.

"Thank you, Brother Molokey, I am very grateful, you can bring Weiner back, if my previous rash behavior hurt you, I am sorry."

"It doesn't matter, my sister, your pain is worth understanding, because you have always been the one who endured the most. Princess, I hope you can help me go to the Moria Trench to confirm the [seal] Case."

"!!! What's going on? Is there something wrong with the [seal]?"

"No, I just have some bad worries, Princess, although the [seal] hasn't changed, but you have to be careful."

"I'm no longer the impulsive mermaid I used to be."

　I'm really not suitable for emotional dramas.
