How to become a mermaid

Chapter 348 Father and grandson, mother and son

aboard the Moni.

Because it was not good to keep Caesar hanging on the deck, Shamanlell took him into the cabin to rest.

Although Caesar has lived for so many years and has seen quite a lot of experience, and has seen many ships that are about the same size as the Moni, but it is the first time he has personally entered the interior of a large ship.

Even though most of the things in the ship have been removed, the bustle and glory of the past can be vaguely seen from the huge hull and the traces left inside.

"Such a big boat... are you sure someone gave you it?" Caesar said in disbelief after wandering around the cabin for a while.

Although Samantel had mentioned to him that he had a boat before, Caesar always thought it was a small fishing boat or something, but he didn't expect it to be such a huge cargo ship.

"Isn't it a gift, is it still a purchase? I can't afford this thing!" Shaman Lair spread his hands and said with a face of course.

Hearing Shamanleir's affirmative answer, the expression on Caesar's face became more complicated.

He touched the hard plank of the ship and said with emotion: "Sure enough, the world is full of wonders. I am so proud of my small achievements!"

After successfully slaying the dragon, Caesar's name was often praised among the mermaids. Therefore, he always thought that he was the best among the mermaids, and had a vague sense of superiority over other mermaids.

He couldn't cultivate offspring that met his wishes and could lead the mermaid clan to glory. He even began to feel anxious, feeling that the future of his group was gloomy.

Now it seems that he is too worrying about everything.

After all, he is just one of thousands of mermaids, how can he decide the fate of the group without authorization?

For some unknown reason, Caesar suddenly turned his head to look at Shamanleir, and asked, "Little fish, according to your thinking, do you think the mermaid clan needs a leader? Or, they need to form an alliance like humans. Is it even a country?"

Hearing this question, Samantel frowned.

To be honest, he has only seen three mermaids besides himself, and all of them are his relatives.

He also has no experience with other mermaids, so he doesn't know how other mermaids live.

However... if Nabochi is used to represent the mermaid group, then the answer to this question is obvious.

"No need!" Samantel replied bluntly.

"Why?" Caesar asked puzzled.

"Because this kind of thinking is unreasonable!" Shamanlell raised a finger and calmly analyzed: "First, if you want to elect a leader that all mermaids agree with, or establish a tribe or other forces, Definitely need to gather all the mermaids."

"As far as I know, the sea area where mermaids live is very vast, and their personalities are relatively independent. Sometimes there are only a few mermaids in the waters with a radius of hundreds of nautical miles. Except for the annual breeding season, there are basically no large-scale gatherings."

"Although the mermaids don't have a very fixed territory, they definitely have their own preferred sea areas and their favorite living habits. If they insist on gathering together to act in unison, it will definitely make some mermaids feel uncomfortable!"

"The alliance is for a better life. If you want to sacrifice part of the mermaid's interests, I think the mermaid's free and easy character will definitely not be happy!"

"The second is the influence of the tide moon."

"As a united group living species, killer whales have not yet been able to establish a kingdom under the influence of the tidal moon, let alone mermaids who are naturally free."

"We don't know what will happen in the next Moon of Tides. If we forcefully gather many mermaids together, if we are unlucky, they will all be wiped out!"

"The third is human peeping."

"It's no secret that mermaids are very expensive in the human black market."

"I think a large part of the reason why you want mermaids to unite is that we can resist humans together and let them stop catching mermaids."

"Yes!" Caesar nodded excitedly when he heard Shamanleir's words, and couldn't help interjecting, "It's because human beings attack mermaids again and again that's why I want a mermaid leader." of!"

Hearing his words, Samantel twitched the corners of his mouth, showed a helpless smile, and said, "Then have you ever thought that if all the mermaids gather together, humans will want to catch us even more?"

Before, I had to fish slowly one by one, but now it’s done, all put together just to catch them all in one go!
"Why?" Caesar showed a puzzled expression on his face when he heard Shamanleir's words, and retorted: "Mermaids are not weak, and they will definitely become an extraordinarily powerful force after they are united. Shouldn't those humans be afraid? With our strength, don't you dare to provoke us?"

"No, no, no..." Shaman Lair shook his head, and said seriously: "You far underestimated the greed of human beings."

"After the mermaids unite, they may not catch mermaids for several years, decades, or even hundreds of years, so we will relax our vigilance, thinking that humans dare not provoke us, but in fact they are secretly accumulating strength .”

"Humans will not give up their desires because of the strength of the enemy. They will only temporarily suppress their ambitions, and then wait for the right time to burst out and achieve their desired goals."

"As long as there are enough interests, human beings dare to do anything!"

As a former person, Samantel knew much more about human beings than Caesar.

And he has also learned practical lessons, and it is because of his misjudgment that Money was provoked.

A fisherman on a remote island dares to take huge risks to go out to catch mermaids, let alone other powerful people?

After listening to these explanations from Shaman Lair, the expression on Caesar's face showed a moment of confusion.

His eyes dimmed, and he muttered to himself: "Is there... is there no other way? Can we just let human beings do whatever they want?"

Seeing Caesar who had fallen into pessimism, Samantel felt that what he said just now seemed to be a bit too pretentious for others, so he changed the subject and said, "It's not that there is no way at all, it's just difficult."

"If we mermaids have much more strength than human beings, we can completely eradicate human beings, or we can eradicate part of them, centrally manage the rest, control their thoughts, and raise them in captivity like poultry, we can stand up!"

Hearing these "extreme" words, Caesar frowned, and retorted: "Then, won't we become as vicious as humans?"

"The world is so "vicious"!" Shaman Lair said calmly.

"Although our world is big, it is also limited. In this limited space, if we want to live better than other creatures and get more resources, we must plunder the survival resources of other creatures."

"Just like we have to eat fish every day in our lives, all living things are in a competitive relationship, but the methods of human beings are more barbaric and cruel."

"In our eyes, these behaviors are very bad, but in the eyes of human beings, they are undoubtedly doing the "right" thing, so if you want to stop human ambitions, you must become as rich as they are Ambition!"

"You have to be stronger than them, it's useless to keep warm!"

"Living like this... so tiring!" Caesar couldn't help but let out a sigh.

The nature of mermaids, to put it mildly, is kind and innocent, and to put it bluntly, it is "lying flat" and "putting down", and the whole race is doing it.

Although Caesar is considered ambitious among mermaids, he is still a mermaid at heart. He thought that all mermaids would be able to live a comfortable life if they united, but he didn't expect that there would be so many troubles in the future.

When he thought about competing with humans for the rest of his life, he felt miserable.

"So..." Shaman Lair spread his hands and said, "I don't think a mermaid needs a leader. If one has to be chosen, that mermaid must have the strength to crush everything! It is far from enough, it must be as dazzling as a god!"

"In this way, he can suppress all opposing voices and lead the Mermaid Clan to achieve true freedom!"

……

Seabed, cave.

"I think...we have to meet this little mermaid!" Number Nine's deep voice sounded.

After completely watching the conversation between Shaman Lear and Caesar, it has raised Shaman Lear's observation level by a level, from the quasi-candidate to the level of the real Poseidon candidate, and I can't help but want to contact a It's over.

The Seagod they expect, besides having a good character, also needs a clear mind.

Caesar is obviously capable, but he has not been included in the candidate list for this reason.

He is too "naive"!

From No. [-]'s point of view, Shamanleir can see humans so thoroughly at a young age. If he really becomes a sea god in the future, he will definitely not be fooled by humans, and he will be able to win more benefits for these marine creatures.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own ears, it would be hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of a mermaid, and I can't wait to see him!" Another voice sounded from the cave.

It also agreed with No. [-]'s idea, and was even eager to try it.

"Go find him now!"

"Going to the North Pole? I haven't been there for a long time, and I miss it a little bit!"

……

Shamanlael didn't know that he had already been targeted by the "strange fish" in Pochi's mouth, and he was trying to adjust the relationship between Alicia and Caesar at this time.

After chatting with Caesar, he brought Caesar to Tess and the others, and asked them to "play" with Caesar for a while, while he went to Alicia to do ideological work.

"Squeak~" The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Shamanlell found Alicia who was sitting alone on the ground and sulking.

"Wow... Hula..." At this moment, she was holding the pearl that Samantel had given her earlier, and she was playing with it for a while, but her eyes were not focused, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart.

"Alicia~" Shamanel called to her, trying to get her attention.

Hearing her son's voice, Alicia's hands froze, she didn't raise her head, and warned sharply, "Get out! Don't bother me!"

Shamanlael did not leave, but closed the door behind him.

He moved closer to Alicia, straightened her head with his hands, and forced her to look at him.

"Alicia, look at me, I want to have a serious talk with you!"

"What's there to talk about! Go away!" Alicia slapped Shamanlael's hand away angrily, her attitude was still reluctant.

Not caring about Alicia's attitude, Shamanlael asked seriously: "What did you feel when you saw Caesar for the first time?"

"Do you think he is disgusting, so disgusting that you don't want to take a second look?"

Hearing this question, Alicia's breathing was short for a moment, and her eyes blinked twice unnaturally.

She didn't nod or shake her head.

Although she was still unwilling to cooperate, Shamanleir had learned her true thoughts at this time from these reactions.

"You don't hate Caesar, that's why you don't want to see him, do you?"

"You run away because you hate yourself!"

"You are afraid that you are not good enough, and let Caesar down! You are afraid that after he sees you, he will still think that you are the inconspicuous daughter who has no value for cultivation..."

Hearing these words, Alicia's breathing became more and more rapid.

When she heard Shaman Lair say that she was "not worth cultivating", she finally couldn't help it, covered her ears suddenly, and let out a sharp growl: "Enough!!"

Turning her head and glaring at Shamanleir, Alicia yelled: "Since you know it all, why embarrass me! Why did you bring him in front of me! Do you like watching your mother's jokes so much? !"

Her eyes were red at this moment, she was obviously scolding, but her tone was full of grievances.

It was the first time that Shamanlaer saw Alicia showing such a fragile expression, and he felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and couldn't help reaching out and hugging her.

Burying her head on Alicia's shoulder, Shaman Lair said to her softly: "Why would I want to see your jokes, you are my most cherished and important mother!"

"I brought Caesar here not to hurt you, but to let you completely open your heart."

"Some things cannot be solved by escaping..."

"It's like a wound on the body is festering. If you don't open the wound to squeeze out the pus, you won't get better and the pain will continue."

"If you don't take this opportunity to untie the knot between you and Caesar, every time you think of your parents in the future, you will feel pain in your heart."

"Alicia, I don't want you to suffer, I want you to be happy!"

Hearing Shaman Lair's explanation, the anger and grievance in Alicia's heart gradually dissipated.

But she still resisted seeing Caesar, and said stiffly, "This is just your wishful thinking, so I don't feel bad about it!"

Hearing this sentence, Shamanleir showed a dumbfounding expression on his face. He patted Alicia's back with his hands and coaxed softly: "Okay! You don't hurt!"

"Then you can go to see Caesar now?"

"No!" Alicia refused without thinking.

After talking for a long time, she was still not happy.

Seeing that his persuasion was about to fail again this time, Samantel took a deep breath and decided to make a bigger move.

"Alicia, do you know why Caesar came to the North Pole?" he asked.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know!" Alicia said a little arrogantly.

Although she said so, Shamanlael saw her ears move quietly twice, obviously wanting to hear.

"If you don't want to know, I have to tell you!" Shaman Lair brought his mouth to Alicia's ear, and said in a low voice, "Actually, Caesar is a bald fish! A large piece of baldness on the top of his head is like a mirror! Come on!" The North Pole is for baldness!"

"!!!" Alicia was shocked by the news, her eyes doubled instantly.

Associating the picture of the bald fish in her mind, the image of Caesar's majestic father in her heart suddenly collapsed, and even suddenly became funny.

If this news is known to other mermaids, they will be ridiculed for a lifetime!
"Is this...really?" she asked in disbelief.

Seeing that Alicia's attitude was loose, Shamanleer nodded quickly and said, "Of course! It was for the treatment of baldness that I became acquainted with him!"

"He himself is not perfect, even fatally flawed, so what qualifications do you have to ask you to be perfect!"

"So you don't need to feel ashamed when you face him, just go to him with your head held high and your chest open!"
