How to become a mermaid

Chapter 308 Caesar and Pino

Back in the igloo, Plank and Samantel saw Alicia who was warming up by the fire.

"Beep peeling..." The fire was flickering, and the arctic wood was burning together with the fish oil of snow fat fish, exuding a faint bitter pine smell.

It doesn't smell bad, it doesn't smell good, it has a slightly bitter feeling.

This is the heating method used by arctic creatures in the cold night. Alicia was afraid of the cold, so she built a bonfire in advance before it got dark.

Seeing Samantel and Plank in the snow, she patted the seat next to her and greeted warmly: "You are back, sit down and keep warm!"

"Ok!"

Patting the snowflakes on his body, Shamanlell and Plank sat together by the campfire to warm up.

After warming his hands over the fire, Plank took out the letter that Zoro specially sent to him, and read it carefully.

【To my disappointing apprentice Planck:】

Seeing the first sentence, the muscles on Planck's face twitched twice.

I was in a good mood, but this sentence made me feel uncomfortable.

He calmed down and continued to look down.

[I've already selected the venue for the exchange conference, and the venue has almost been arranged. After about a week, you can start here. 】

Seeing the contents of the letter, Planck estimated the time in his heart.

Although the little beast is not strong, its running ability is really good. It only takes half a day to get here from Zorro's tribe, so Zorro's one week's time should start from today.

"Little fish, Alicia, Zorro told us to find it in a week." Plank informed the two mermaids beside him.

"Okay, I'm fine!" Samantel nodded, expressing that he had no objection.

Plank looked down again and found a piece of news that surprised him.

[In the past few days, a lot of foreign fish have come to participate in the exchange conference, which really opened my eyes.

What surprised me the most was that among these visitors was a mermaid.

I think Samantel and Alicia will definitely be happy after hearing the news of the arrival of the same family, so I specially wrote this letter to inform you. 】

"Oh~ there are other mermaids coming to the North Pole!" Plank said with some surprise.

Hearing his words, Alicia and Samantel's eyes lit up, and they asked together: "Really?"

"Of course, that's what Zoro said in his letter." Plank nodded and handed the letter to them.

Shamanlael picked up the letter and carefully browsed the contents with Alicia.

[The name of this mermaid is Caesar Stander Papokta Redexer.

I chatted with him for a while and found that he has a good personality and seems to be interested in you. I think you and him should become good friends after meeting. 】

After reading Zorro's letter, Samantel touched his chin and said to himself with a confused expression: "Caesar... I feel that this name is a little familiar, as if I heard it somewhere?"

"Caesar Stand Papokta Redexer..." Alicia on the side repeated the name word by word.

Her tone was not relaxed, with a little dignified meaning.

Such an anomaly caught the attention of Shaman Lair, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Alicia, is there anything wrong with this name?"

"There is a problem! There is a big problem!" Alicia nodded heavily.

She put her hands on Samantel's shoulders, and said to him with a serious expression: "The names of mermaids are very random, so there are basically no duplicate names!"

"If Zoro is not mistaken, then... this Caesar should be my father!"

"Hey??"

Hearing that Alicia said Caesar was her father, Shamanlaer and Plank were both shocked.

"Your father... isn't that Xiaoyu's grandfather!"

Plank opened his eyes wide, and said excitedly: "Isn't this a good thing? I heard that mermaids seldom contact their parents when they grow up. It's a surprise to be able to meet their father under such circumstances." !"

Hearing Plank's words, Alicia only slightly raised the corners of her mouth, showing a somewhat forced smile.

She doesn't think it's a good thing...

If possible, she hopes that she will never meet her father in her life.

After a brief shock, Shaman Lear also came back to his senses.

He vaguely recalled what Alicia had mentioned.

She said that the relationship between her and her mother is not close, because her father is very good, a macho fish who has slaughtered a dragon, but she did not inherit this excellence at all, so she was "disliked" by her mother.

Although in Alicia's description, the role of "father" does not have much role, and they have never lived together, but he is indeed the fuse of all this.

It must be hard to meet your father.

Thinking of this, Shamanlael carefully observed Alicia's expression, and found that she really had resistance written all over her face, and even her fingers curled up nervously.

"It's okay, Alicia, if you don't want to see him, don't see him, just stay here with Plank, or I'll send you back to the Moni, and let Tess and the others stay with you!" Xia Manlei comforted her with some cold palms.

Seeing the abnormal reactions of the two mermaids, Plank also sensed something was wrong, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that...Alicia has a bad relationship with her father?"

"That's right!" Samantel replied vaguely.

Although he couldn't know the specific reason, Planck also understood at this time that he had said something wrong just now.

He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sorry..."

Alicia shook her head, smiled at Plank, and said, "You are not wrong, you don't need to apologize!"

"However... I really don't want to meet my father. After a week, can we go to the place where the Moni is first? I want to stay there until Caesar leaves."

"Of course!" Plank nodded bluntly, agreeing to Alicia's request.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Shaman Lair, and asked with some uncertainty: "Alicia will not participate in the exchange meeting, what about you, Xiaoyu?"

Hearing this question, Samantel frowned and thought about it seriously.

"Don't worry about me, do what you want to do, I'll just avoid it!" Alicia held his palm and reminded softly from the side.

Hearing what Alicia said, Shamanlaer also made a decision.

He nodded to Planck, and replied in a serious tone: "I'm going!"

"I've been looking forward to this meeting for a long time. There is no reason to give up just because a fish appears! There are so many pharmacist friends waiting for me to get to know!"

"Besides, I really want to meet that legendary mermaid with my own eyes to see if he is really that good!"

"That's good!" Plank was relieved when he heard that Shaman Lair did not give up his desire to participate in the exchange conference.

He thought for a while, and then asked: "Caesar is Alicia's father's business, should I tell Zorro in advance?"

"Let's not talk about it for the time being, we'll see the situation when we get there!" Shamanleir said.

"Okay, that's it!" Plank nodded and put away Zorro's letter.

……

Samantel and Alicia stayed another week with Plank's tribe.

During this time, a major event happened in the tribe—the centenary seal Pino passed away.

Although reminded by Shaman Lair, Plank has already made some psychological preparations, and also notified other seals in the tribe.

But Pino's death was faster than they expected. Before the seals had time to take care of Pino, they found that he had stopped breathing in a cold morning.

It died in sleep, without opening its eyes once it fell asleep.

When Planck heard the news with his own ears, he felt uncomfortable for a long time.

Shamanleir's heart was also very heavy, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

In less than half a day, the entire ethnic group knew the news.

The seals walked to Pino's house one after another, spontaneously seeing him off, and Shamanlell followed Planck to Pino's igloo.

Pino's body was lying quietly in the center of the igloo, his eyes closed as if he was asleep. The room was covered with a layer of sea chestnut flowers picked from the nearby bay, as well as countless pearls and shells.

Pino's relatives and friends all came and stood quietly outside the igloo to mourn for him.

"It is said that the sea chestnut is the favorite plant of the sea god. If you sprinkle sea chestnuts around the dead and pave a road to heaven, you can get the guidance of the sea god, and let the soul of the dead ascend to the kingdom of God without worries and sorrows."

"Now that the Sea God is gone, can Uncle Pino still ascend to the Kingdom of God?" Plank held a bunch of sea chestnuts in his hand, and said to himself in a low tone.

Like him, Samantel now holds a bouquet of sea chestnuts in his hand.

This kind of flower usually grows in bays with clear sea water. The color is plain white. Each flower has four small petals, which are shaped like a four-leaf clover. When the flowers bloom, they will rise and fall with the waves, just like Like waves of white waves on the sea.

Looking down at the light white flower in his hand, Shamanlael replied with a serious expression:

"Mr. Pino will definitely be able to board the Kingdom of God! All kind souls will find their way back under the guidance of the sea."

"Yeah, even if Poseidon is gone, we still have the sea!" Hearing what Shamanlear said, the disappointed expression on Planck's face eased a little.

He bent down, sprinkled sea chestnuts around Pino, and said softly, "Goodbye, Uncle Pino, may Mother Sea guide you and let your soul rest in peace."

"Goodbye, Mr. Pino." Shamanel also bent down, and sprinkled the sea chestnut flowers in his hand on Pino's side little by little.

After bowing their heads in silence for Pino, they left the igloo.

Seals entered the igloo one after another, and walked out with a heavy expression on their faces.

In the evening, all the seals in the tribe bid farewell to Pino.

At this time, the patriarch of the Salco seal tribe, that is, Plank's father, stood up from the seal group and said loudly:

"Just this morning, Pino Sarco, the venerable elder, left us."

"It walked peacefully, without any pain, and was inspired by the mother of the sea in its sleep, and returned to her embrace."

"We will never forget Mr. Pino's contribution to the tribe, nor his noble character and soul. May Mr. Pino's soul rest peacefully from now on, without any worries and worries."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." There was a whimpering sound from among the seals, and the young seal who was already emotional began to cry bitterly.

Joy and sadness are two of the most evocative emotions.

But for a moment, almost all the seals were red-eyed.

Sadness enveloped the entire group, and even the sky was covered with light snow.

"I'm so useless, I know that Uncle Pino's life is dying, but I can't do anything..." Plank covered his face and cried bitterly.

Before Pino's death, Planck still had a little bit of luck in his heart, thinking that Shamanleir might have misread it, and maybe in a few days, Pino's body would regain its vitality.

When he really saw Pino lying there, he realized that he was wrong, and all kinds of emotions came up in his heart, making Plank so sad that he couldn't help himself.

It was the first time Shamanleir saw this smiling seal so sad, he patted Plank on the shoulder vigorously, and comforted him: "It's not your fault, Mr. Pinault will definitely not blame you of!"

"Didn't you just hear that Mr. Pino didn't suffer any pain when he left, and he walked away peacefully. This is already a very lucky thing!"

Being able to die of old age naturally in sleep is something that many living things dream of. Compared with those who were killed or died in pain, Pino was really lucky.

"That's right! I really don't blame you. Although I regret not being able to see the dragon with my own eyes in this life, it's not bad to be able to end my life in such a peaceful way. I'm satisfied. Planck, don't cry!" A somewhat familiar voice sounded behind Shaman Lear.

Hearing this voice, Shamanlaer nodded, and echoed: "That's right, Mr. Pino is right!"

"Huh?" Hearing what Shamanlear said suddenly, Plank raised his head in doubt.

Seeing the surprised expression on Planck's face, Shamanlear also reacted suddenly.

He just... did he hear Pino's voice? !
No, isn't Pino lying in the igloo, dead to death, he went to see it just now!

"Gudong..." Shamanlael swallowed with some difficulty, turned his head slowly, and looked in the direction where he heard the voice just now.

A cloud of white mist with blurred outlines appeared in front of his eyes.

Although it is very vague, it can be vaguely seen to be the shape of a seal.

And it seems that after hearing what Shamanleir said just now, the "eyes" of the fog are still staring at him.

Appeared!ghost!

Seeing the cloud of white mist in front of him, Samantel's heart skipped a beat, and even his breathing became disordered.

Help!

It wasn't a ship spirit, nor was it an illusion, he really saw a ghost this time!

"Oh, little mermaid, can you see me?" the ghost spoke, and it was really Pino's voice.

"I...I, I..." Shamanel stumbled, unable to speak.

"Hooh~hooh~" Pino's soul trembled twice when he saw the trembling Shamanleir, and let out a burst of joyful laughter.

"Don't be afraid, little mermaid, I won't last long in this form, and I will leave soon."

It swayed up and down, floated to Planck, and said: Since you can see me, tell Planck for me that I am very grateful to him!He is the best doctor I have ever seen! "

"Don't be sad for me, life is a cycle, one day I will return...return..."

Pino's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and his body was getting weaker.

By the time the last two words were said, it had already floated up completely, and quickly floated into the sky.

"Goodbye... my beloved... tribe, my... homeland..." Pino's voice sounded above Shamanlael's head, and it became weaker and weaker as it drifted away.

Shamanlael raised his head, watching Pino's figure blur away and merge into the huge net in the sky.

This is a net made up of life essence, one after another, and countless hazy lines are connected together, weaving into a huge network that covers the entire world.
