How to become a mermaid

Chapter 2 Do you know how I have lived these three years?
"Mr. Mermaid, have you brought what I want?" Old Kande lowered his head halfway, his greasy hair was blown wildly by the sea breeze, and his face was as vicissitudes as old bark with a fearful expression.

Although it was not the first time to meet the mermaid, old Cande still felt nervous every time he faced him.

This sense of tension is a dual reaction of physiology and psychology.

At such a close distance, Old Kande could clearly see that the sharp nails on the mermaid's hands reflected the cold light in the sun, and it seemed that only a little force could dig out several large pieces of his skull. hole!
Old Kande knew very well that if the mermaid wanted to hurt him, he would never run away, so he could only talk to the mermaid cautiously as if walking on thin ice.

"You may not bring what I want yet." The mermaid said, his voice was slightly hoarse, but such hoarseness was not unpleasant, instead it carried a strange magnetism, making it hard for people to forget once they heard it.

This famous mermaid, who used to be named Li Yu, now uses the name Shamanel Stand Kampuchy DeParo, and he can be called Shamanler for short.

He is not an aborigine of Auer star, but an earth traveler from China. He used to be a high school student of the Celestial Dynasty. He died in an accident while rushing to take the college entrance examination.

Fortunately, he didn't die completely, and he actually crossed over all of a sudden. It has been three years since he came to this world.

For three years, Samantel has been eating fish every day, almost throwing up. Although judging from his current mermaid taste, raw fish is very delicious, but he still misses human food occasionally.

On a certain day a few months ago, old Kande's boat ran aground near this deserted island. Shamanlael couldn't help approaching the fishing boat, wanting to take some seasonings from the boat.

Old Kande was not the first person Shamanlell had encountered in the past three years, but he was the most harmless, so he dared to approach him boldly.

However, since it was the first time to sneak around, Shamanlael was not very proficient in his business, so he was caught by old Cande right away.

Facing such a beautiful and powerful creature, Old Kande passed away excitedly, his body twitched and his mouth was foaming wildly.

In order to prevent the old fisherman from being beaten to death in front of him, Samantel directly spit on old Kande's face.

Let me just say here that he didn't mean to insult Old Kande by spitting, but to save him.

The saliva of the mermaid is the main material for making calming potions. It has a calming effect and can be directly absorbed by human skin. Whether it is taken internally or externally, it has miraculous effects.

Shamanlael spit out a mouthful of saliva, and the old Kande stopped smoking soon, and became more energetic. He knelt down at Shamanlael's feet and kowtowed to him to tell him not to eat himself.

Although Samantel is a mermaid now, at least he used to be a human being, so naturally he would not kill people easily.

Under the suspicious eyes of old Kande, Shamanlael fished a star spot from the bottom of the sea and wanted to exchange spices with him.

The so-called star spot is a deep-sea fish. It has a flat body, gray-black skin, and white patterns on its back. It can emit a star-like glow in the dark night, hence the name.

The meat of the star spot is delicious and elastic, and at the same time, there is a little mucus in the body. When it is eaten, it has a soft and smooth taste, and it can be regarded as a delicious delicacy among edible fish.

Besides being delicious, it can also make potions.

Dry the skin of the star spot, and you can scrape off-white powder from the white pattern on its back. This powder is the raw material star spot powder for making cough potion.

A star spot produces about one ounce of star powder. These star powder can make at least [-] bottles of cough potion, and the price of a bottle of cough potion is about [-] copper coins.

Judging from Auer Star's general currency system, one hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin, and one hundred gold coins can be exchanged for one Mithril coin.

In other words, after reusing a star spot, it can generate about 150 silver coins.

The price of such delicious and easy-to-use fish in the market was once raised to one gold coin per pound, and an adult star spot must weigh at least thirty pounds, which means that it can be sold for a sky-high price of thirty gold coins.

You know, the price of a small boat that can carry 12 people is only about two hundred gold coins.

Almost seven star spots can be exchanged for a ship, which is simply gold in the deep sea.

Although the price of star spots has dropped to ten silver coins a pound, it is still a sky-high price for old Kande.

Without even thinking about it, he agreed to Shaman Laier's request, and even had a bold idea in his mind - to make a long-term deal with this mermaid!
This idea just hit it off with Shaman Lair. Apart from spices, he also needs something that allows him to quickly understand the world, such as books and the like.

Although Shaman Lair has the memory of the original owner, the original owner is a mermaid after all, and he is very good at fishing in the seabed, but in terms of understanding of human beings, it is estimated that he does not know as much as a traveler like him.

Fortunately, there is a common language in this world, and the original body has also learned the common script of Aur star, so that he can communicate with people and read books smoothly.

In a few months, Samantel has initially mastered some common sense of the world through making deals with Old Kande.

For example, there is only one continent in the center of this planet, called Feidnan Continent.

Generally speaking, the islands closer to Feidnan's continent are more prosperous, and the farther away they are, the more desolate. The whole world has not been explored, and most of the islands far away from Feidnan's continent are undeveloped.

However, this definition of being closer to the mainland and more prosperous is not absolute. Some islands are also developing very well because of their own particularities.

In order to better measure the value and prosperity of an island, the Auer Stars divided the island into 21 levels.

The lowest value is level 21 and the highest is level 1.

The closest to Shamanleir's current location is Settra Island, which is the hometown of Old Kande. It is about 18 kilometers away from Feidnan's mainland, and it is classified as a [-]th-level island in terms of hierarchy.

In terms of the earth, it is properly a small remote county on the [-]th line.

Most of the people in this remote small town have never seen a mermaid. When old Kande saw Shamanleir, he directly smoked it.

Speaking of mermaids, after reading so many books, Samantel finally understood why the original body's mother kept telling him to stay away from humans, because mermaids in this world are so valuable!
Although according to Article [-] of the "Treaty for Common Development of the Ocean", human beings cannot openly trade intelligent marine life, but they can't stand it secretly.

In the black market, mermaids have always been something with a price but no market, and the minimum reward for each mermaid is a million gold coins.

Why is it so expensive, because mermaids have multiple uses.

The first is the ornamental value, which everyone knows.

In addition to ornamental, it is "medicinal" value.

Mermaids are full of treasures, hair can be used to make potions for hair growth, nails can be used to make potions for strong bones, fish scales can be used to make potions for speeding up in water, skin can be used to make potions for waterproofing ……Etc., etc.

Even mermaid saliva and oligo can be used as medicine, it is simply a walking raw material library.

It's no wonder that mermaids are so expensive. Samantel feels that if he is still a person now, he wants to catch a mermaid to make medicine.

　A copper coin is almost a dollar.
