How to become a mermaid

Chapter 309 Returning to the Moni

Thousands of years ago, Arctic creatures have been using ice burials to bury their dead.

They will freeze the corpses of the dead and transport them to specific ice and snow caves for preservation.

This method can preserve the corpse for hundreds of thousands of years without corruption. If anyone goes there to worship in the future, if he is lucky, he can find eighteen generations of his ancestors in that cave. It can be said that he wants to worship whomever he wants.

However, in recent years, due to the impact of the tidal moon and the occasional light river, this funeral method has been cancelled, and now cremation is generally used to dispose of the dead body.

After all the seals in the tribe bid farewell to Pino, they smashed Pino's igloo, built a frame with arctic wood, put Pino's body on it, and poured extremely flammable water on it. sherbet fish oil.

When the translucent fish oil was poured on the cold wood, it quickly solidified into a snowflake-like solid, which looked like it was covered by heavy snow.

Seeing that everything was ready, Planck's father Toth walked out of the seal group holding a burning torch,
"You will live in our hearts forever." Toth lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

After saying this, it gently placed the torch on the wooden shelf carrying Pino's body.

"噗~!" As soon as the torch came into contact with the fish oil, the violent flames shot up quickly, reaching a height of several meters in a few seconds.

"Boom~~" In the blink of an eye, the entire wooden shelf was ignited by the fire, exuding the unique bitter taste of arctic wood.

"Crackling crackling..."

Pino's body was gradually swallowed by the flames, burning into a huge fireball, making a crackling and detonating sound.

Seeing this scene, those seals with weak hearts turned their heads away, unable to bear to see Pino being burned to ashes.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Le L l l l never see Pino again"

"Why do you have to use a big fire, this method is too cruel."

"May you rest in peace..."

Intermittent whimpers sounded, and the seals fell into a new round of grief.

Even so, none of the seals left. Even if they couldn't bear it, they would send Pino to the last journey.

Perhaps it was because of the farewell to Pino's soul just now, but Shaman Lear among the seals was not so sad.

Looking at Pino, who was gradually turning into ashes, he felt extremely calm at this moment.

Life is a cycle.

I hope that Pino's soul can return to the earth as soon as possible, and become a creature with a longer lifespan and the ability to see dragons in the next life.

Of course, not human.

"Did you...really see Pino's soul just now?" Staring at the raging fire in front of him, Plank asked this question.

Shamanleir nodded slightly, and replied: "Yes, Mr. Pinault specifically asked me to tell you before leaving, saying that it didn't blame you at all, and I hope you don't blame yourself."

Hearing his affirmative answer, Planck's eyes flickered, and he whispered to himself: "Uncle Pino is really a generous and good seal..."

Shamanel pursed his somewhat dry lips, and said, "Except for not seeing a dragon with my own eyes, I think Mr. Pinault should have no regrets in his life."

"If I have a chance to meet a real dragon in the future, I will ask for a scale from it and burn it to Mr. Pinault."

"Well, I will too!" Plank nodded, finally showing a smile on his face.

"Crackling..."

As the smoke cleared and the fire gradually extinguished, the place where the Pinot Igloo stood was reduced to ashes.

There was nothing left but ash all over the floor.

"Huhu~~" The whistling arctic wind blew past, blowing up the debris on the ground.

Perhaps after tomorrow, these residues will also disappear, buried in the endless snowstorm of the Arctic.

Pino's funeral was thus completed, and seals had already left the surrounding area one after another.

The seals don't have the concept of a feast, and they go back to their homes after the funeral.

Planck looked up at the gloomy sky above his head, and said to Shaman Lair: "Let's go, it's going to be dark soon, let's go home too!"

He didn't ask much about why Samantel was able to see the souls of the dead.

As long as the little fish is healthy, it doesn't matter what he can see.

"Yeah!" Samantel nodded, and followed Planck towards the igloo.

……

The day after the funeral was the day to set off for the Zoro tribe.

Due to Alicia's request, they did not go directly to Zoro's tribe, but took a detour and went straight to the ice cave where the Moni was moored.

Now the weather in the Arctic has entered autumn and winter, and there are two or three hours of darkness every day.

Considering that the temperature will drop sharply at night, and the risk of resting outside is extremely high, Planck set off with Shaman Leer and Alicia early in the morning. There was no rest on the road, and they kept their heads on the road, and finally arrived at the iceberg before the sun completely set. The location of the cave entrance.

"Hula... Hula..." Plank bent over and worked hard to shovel the snow outside the ice cave.

These days, Zoro has been busy receiving visitors and dealing with the exchange meeting. It has been a long time since he came here. The snow at the entrance of the ice cave has accumulated several meters deep, and he will not be able to enter it without shoveling.

"Wow...wow..." Shamanel also shoveled the snow together.

With the joint efforts of him and Planck, the entrance to the ice cave was cleared, leaving plenty of room for entry and exit.

"Let me show you the way." Planck walked ahead and entered the ice cave first.

He used to come here often when he was still an apprentice under Zorro, and he was quite familiar with the layout inside. He turned all the way, and it didn't take long to bring Shamanlell and Alicia to the place where the Moni was parked. .

Just as they had left, the Moni sat alone and silently on the ice, as if it had been a part of it.

Seeing the Moni after a long absence, Alicia's eyes showed a trace of joy, and she said excitedly:
"I haven't seen this ship for a long time, and I still feel a little kind. God knows that when I saw this big guy for the first time, I wanted to burn it right away!"

"I don't know what happened to Tess and Huck on the boat, and little Rhett. I hope they are doing well while we are away."

Hearing Alicia's words, Shamanleir showed a smile on his face and said, "They are all so smart, they must be able to take care of themselves."

Before leaving, he left a lot of frozen fish here, piled up in a small hill on the ground.

Now that the hill has obviously collapsed, it means that Tess and Huck have been eating well these days.

Alicia also noticed this situation, and she felt a lot more relaxed, and said, "Let's get on the boat first, it's cold and tired after running outside all day, and I can't wait to get a good night's sleep."

"exactly!"

Both Shamanleir and Plank nodded, and boarded the boat with Alicia.

As soon as they entered the cabin, they felt a gust of warm air rushing towards their faces, dispelling the coldness on their bodies all at once.

"Look, I knew they could take care of themselves." Shamrel said to Alicia with a smile.

"These two little ghosts really enjoy themselves. If I had known I would stay with them, it's freezing cold outside." Alicia rubbed her red palms from the cold, There was a little annoyed expression on his face.

"Hooh~hooh~" Hearing Alicia's "complaint", Plank let out a simple and honest laugh.

It's so cold in the North Pole, I'm really sorry.

"I...go...go to...sleep...." Walking to the stairs, Plank and Shamanlere separated and headed towards the infirmary by themselves.

In order to confirm the situation of the little guys on the boat, Shaman Lair and Alicia walked to the power room together following the smell from them.

"Kacha..." The door opened, and Shamanlael saw the two furries who had been away for many days, and his good eldest son Rhett.

What surprised Samantel was that Huck was teaching Rhett to write at this time.

[Red], [Samander], [Alicia], [Tess], [Huck]...

A circle of draft paper was placed on the ground, and their names were written all over it. The handwriting gradually changed from scribbled to correct, and it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.

When Shaman Lair pushed the door, Reid was still holding a charcoal-fired charcoal pencil in his hand, and lowered his head seriously and wrote the words "Shaman Lair" and "Dad".

Hearing the noise from the door, its ears moved slightly, and it looked over alertly.

Seeing that it was Samantel, Reid's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Dad!"

"Dad! Dad!" Rhett kept yelling excitedly like a repeater.

He was overjoyed to see his dear little daddy again.

Hearing Rhett's chirping voice, Shamanlell's mouth twitched, and he nodded in response.

Seeing that Samantel responded to himself, Rhett called out to Alicia again: "Grandma!"

"Hey!" Alicia responded with a smile.

Although her grandmother was inexplicable, but since Reid, the eldest grandson, was so cute and sensible, she also recognized it.

Seeing Alicia smiled at himself, the smile on Reid's face became brighter, and he opened his arms and shouted: "Father, grandma, you are finally back, I miss you so much!"

After finishing speaking, it dropped the charcoal pencil in its hand, and crawled onto Shaman Lair.

Rhett's growth rate is really too fast, and after only ten days of separation, he has already left the stage of babbling and can express himself in clear language.

Samantel marveled at Rhett's growth rate, and gently touched its small head with his fingers.

Although Reid's intelligence has improved rapidly, his body has not grown up. I don't know if it is because all the nutrients are absorbed by his clever little head. Until now, it is only a little bigger than the palm of Shaman Lear.

"Hey hey~" Reid squinted his eyes and laughed happily after being touched by Shaman Lair.

It likes to be petted on the head. These days, Uncle Huck often pets its head and praises it for being smart.

After making out with Rhett, Samantel turned his attention to Huck and Tess again.

Tess's belly was much bigger than when we just parted, and Shamanleir could clearly see two clusters of bright green mist hovering above.

According to this situation, these two little guys are estimated to be born in another month.

"Tess, how are you feeling recently? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Shamanlael asked it with concern when he came to Tess.

Hearing his voice, Tess raised her head and let out a soft cry: "Meow~"

Nothing, everything is fine!

Since having a child, Shamanleir can feel that Tess's temper has become more and more gentle.

It's the exact opposite of Alicia!

I don't know how long Tess can maintain this motherly state. I just hope that there are no "rebellious children" among her children.

"Hee hee..." There was a burst of laughter.

Seeing Shamanleir talking to Tess, Huck also came over and asked him with a smile: "Hehe... Is Planck's tribe interesting? Is it fun?"

"Of course it's interesting!" Shamanleir nodded and said with a smile: "The seals there are very warm to us. We were greeted by the lanes when we first arrived there. There are seals greeting us everywhere we go, and they give us greetings every day. Send a lot of fish, you can't finish it."

"Hee hee... It seems to be very lively, I really want to experience the feeling of being popular~"

After listening to Shaman Lair's description, Huck showed an envious expression on his face.

Its favorite thing is to join in the fun. If it was usual, it would have gone out with Shaman Lair and the others, but unfortunately not now, Tess is now in a critical period, and it must stay on the boat to take care of it.

Thinking of this, Huck showed a regretful expression on his big furry face.

Had he known this earlier, on that moonlit night, it would not have been impulsive!

It was all because the moonlight that night was so charming, and Tess at that time was so alluring that she couldn't control it for a while.

The disappointment on Huck's face was also noticed by Shaman Lair. He thought that Huck was regretting not going to the seal tribe with them, so he comforted him:

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry to leave, after your child is born, go where you want to play."

"Now you have to take care of Tess with peace of mind and fulfill your responsibilities."

"Of course I will be responsible!" Huck nodded seriously when he heard Shamanlaer's words.

Although it and Tess started out on impulse, since they have children, they must be responsible.

"Huck, if you want to go out to play, go!" At this moment, Alicia suddenly spoke.

She gently touched the heads of Tess and Huck with her hands, and said something that surprised and surprised Huck: "Tess will be taken care of by me, you can go to the exchange meeting with Shaman Lair, How about it?"

"Why, didn't you go with him?" Huck asked suspiciously.

"I won't go, there are fish I don't want to see at the exchange meeting." Alicia shook her head and said with a faint smile.

Huck didn't understand the grievances between Alicia and her father, and when he heard that she really wanted to help him take care of Tess, he immediately burst into joy and nodded excitedly, for fear that Alicia would regret it.

"Okay! Then I will trouble you!"
