How to become a mermaid

Chapter 354 In-depth Communication with Number Nine
"If you don't mind, can you let Samantel talk to us alone?" Number [-] said to Alicia.

The target of their trip is Shamenlier, and some things are still inconvenient to tell other fish.

Hearing this request, Alicia frowned, feeling a little conflicted in her heart.

Aware of her uneasiness, Samantel patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, I won't be in danger!"

Number nine and number six on the side also promised in unison: "We will not do anything to harm your child, please rest assured!"

In fact, they could directly take Shamanleir away and talk to him alone, but doing so would definitely arouse the resentment of the two mermaids, so they chose the gentle way of using words to persuade them to retreat.

Feeling the unfathomable momentum from No. [-] and No. [-], Alicia felt that if she refused, she would not be able to beat them at all, and would even make the situation worse.

She could only nod her head and said, "Okay then, you can talk alone, but absolutely don't say anything to deceive my son!"

No. [-] and No. [-] naturally agree to this request, they will not and do not need to force any fish to do anything.

Soon, Alicia withdrew a certain distance, leaving Shamanlell to negotiate with the two fish.

"That...why did you choose me?" Seeing Alicia temporarily evacuating, Shamanlael asked the question he wanted to know the most at this time.

In fact, when he first learned that he was secretly being watched by a group of strange fish, his first reaction was fear.

He recalled his actions these days over and over again, for fear that something he did not do well would expose the fact that he traveled from the earth.

At the same time, he is also thankful in his heart, fortunately, he does not like to write diaries in Chinese like other traversers, and he does not like to record some information about the earth in the diary, otherwise the two fish who came to the door today did not come to him Discussed becoming the Sea God candidate, but directly arrested and investigated.

Hearing that Samantel wanted to know the reason why he was chosen, No. [-] thought for a while and replied, "There are many reasons why you were chosen."

"I first noticed you because of your father Pochi."

"Although Boqi once rejected our invitation, we did not give up our observation of him, that is, in the process of observing him, I discovered your existence."

"When I first met you, I realized that you were smarter than other little mermaids and possessed wisdom that didn't belong to this age, so I also cared about your daily life incidentally."

"When you went to the killer whale colony with your mother, I paid more attention to you. I can't hide it. I liked the blind date meeting you held very much. I watch it every day."

"And I also like your patience and kindness in this process, and I think you have the qualities we need."

"In the following days, we have also been secretly observing your words and deeds."

"As for the decision to come to contact you, the decision was made after listening to the argument between you and your grandfather."

"Although I don't quite agree with your views on the future of the ethnic group, and feel a little negative, I appreciate your analysis of human characters. They are indeed a group of greedy and powerful enemies who cannot let down their vigilance for a moment!"

"The sea gods of the previous generations were very kind and friendly to all creatures including humans, but such kindness has not been rewarded well."

"After His fall, our marine creatures had to make some concessions to humans due to some historical issues, which led to them becoming more and more indulgent, so that now they are beginning to lose control."

"Some extreme human beings, no! Not just some, there are many human beings who are secretly carrying out a certain plan, trying to subvert our world while we are not paying attention!"

"So we urgently need a new sea god, one who can fully consider from the standpoint of marine life and not be fooled by human rhetoric!"

"This is the main reason why I decided to come to you!" No. [-] looked at Shaman Lair and said in a serious tone.

After hearing what it said, the word Sacred Fire Sect immediately popped up in Shamanleir's mind, and he couldn't help asking: "The extremists you just mentioned refer to the Sacred Fire Sect?"

"Yes!" Number Nine replied affirmatively.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the world experienced a cataclysm that resulted in the loss of most of the land and mass extinction of life."

"The extinction of living things, and then triggered a crisis of faith. The faith that was originally concentrated became torn apart, and could no longer support the birth of a new god."

"In order to deal with this situation, we have made an agreement with humans."

"If there is an extremely outstanding candidate for a new god among humans, we will not interfere with his spreading belief among marine life, and we will even provide him with help if necessary."

"Similarly, if there are such candidates among marine life, human beings cannot interfere with the spread of their beliefs, and they need to provide reciprocal help."

"Because of this agreement, we have been working hard to select candidates, hoping that the new Ocean God will be born as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, humans have betrayed us!"

Having said this, Number Nine's tone suddenly became serious.

"They didn't mean to cooperate with us at all, but secretly did those unforgivable things behind our backs!"

"What's even more hateful is that when the matter was discovered, they dumped all the responsibility on the Holy Fire Sect, evading that those people were crazy, and they acted without authorization to cause a catastrophe!"

"Sadly, although we have doubts in our hearts, we still give humans a chance, and hope that they will really regret it."

"It turns out that they didn't have any at all." Shamanlell said with a clear face.

To unilaterally tear up the agreement, and to set one on the surface and hide another behind it, these are the tricks most commonly used by human beings, and countless examples on the earth have confirmed this.

"Yes, they didn't, and they even made it worse!" Number Nine's tone became serious, and he said with sharp eyes: "They deceived us again and restored the Sacred Fire Sect!"

"And this time, more people joined them! The entire Mayan Empire, and even the entire Feidnan Continent, are under the influence of this group of people!"

"We can no longer make concessions. Repeated concessions and forgiveness will only fuel the enemy's ambitions. Waiting for humans to really use this despicable method to create a new god, we are really doomed!"

When talking about this, No. [-] paused.

It raised its head and glanced in a certain direction, and said in a more serious tone: "What's more... our enemies are not only human beings!"

"You should have seen from Pochi's letter before that there are a bunch of murals left by the Holy Fire Cultists on the sea floor of the Plezen Atoll, which depicts a mysterious existence that suddenly appeared tens of thousands of years ago and invaded us. star event."

"This matter is true, and it has not been completely resolved yet!"

"Although the unknown existence was sealed by the gods of the past generations, it is still wandering around our world, threatening our safety like a lingering ghost."

"We don't know his origin, we don't know his purpose, and we don't know when he will wake up again!"

"When the tidal moon falls every year, it is the most nervous and worrying moment for us. We worry all the time that the blood moon hanging in the sky will suddenly become the demon that almost destroyed our world!"

"Before solving this huge trouble, we were unwilling to fight with humans, but now the situation forces us to challenge our bottom line step by step. Even if we don't want to, there is nothing we can do!"

"Perhaps soon, there will be a war between humans and us."

"Before we discovered the plot to restore the Holy Fire Sect, we would not be eager to contact a cub, but now, we can feel that time is running out."

"In this limited time, we need to convey our will and our beliefs as much as possible!"

Hearing No. [-]'s sincere words, Shamanleir was really touched.

But he was not impulsive, but asked: "Besides me and Pochi, there are many candidates, right? How are they doing now?"

No. [-] did not hide anything, and said in a serious tone: "At present, there are five people who have successfully completed the transformation of life forms. They are only one step away from becoming a god, but they are also the furthest step."

"Not enough faith?" Shamanlael guessed the reason at once.

"Yes, not enough faith!" Nine replied.

"The area of ​​the entire ocean is too large, which makes it difficult for news to circulate quickly, and there are still many marine creatures who are naturally loose and unwilling to believe in a fish that is not even a god!"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Shamanleir felt that No. [-] glanced at himself when he mentioned the loose marine life.

The mermaid is the best example of natural laxity. Shamanlael rarely heard Alicia talk about things related to gods. At most, she only heard her say that there was a sea god in the past, and then there was no more.

Thinking of this, Samantel smiled awkwardly.

In order to restore the image of his own group in front of these two strange fish, he argued: "How should I put it... Most of the creatures that have faith have something to pursue in their hearts, and then they can't achieve it, so they pin their hopes on it. On God!"

"Nowadays, many fish can live carefree and self-sufficient lives by themselves. Of course they don't believe in God!"

"That's right!" No. [-] also agreed with this point of view, saying: "Although there are undercurrents everywhere now, after all, peace can still be maintained on the bright side. During this period, it is difficult for both marine life and human beings to generate a lot of beliefs. "

"So... other than using despicable means, there is only war!"

"Although I really don't want to admit it, war is indeed a good opportunity to create gods!"

"Only in a desperate situation can the most brilliant flower of faith be condensed! The power of faith that is a hundred times or even a thousand times stronger than usual will explode!"

"The five Seagod candidates who have completed the life form transformation are our current highest combat power. If we really go to war with humans, they will definitely participate."

"Maybe it will be successful in one fell swoop through this war, maybe it will die here, all of this is unknown!"

"However, we haven't figured out the details of the human beings yet, so we can't pin all our hopes on them. We still need some retreats..."

Having said that, No. [-] turned his head and stared at Shamanlael with his big eyes as bright as the galaxy.

"I know that what I'm saying now is too much for a juvenile fish, but you're not a normal juvenile, and I think you'll understand."

Of course, Shamanleir understands what No. [-] means, that is to say, they are ready to go to war with humans, and they only need a fuse.

After the war started, the few candidates who had high hopes might condense a lot of faith and succeed in ascension to the gods, or they might die, so other candidates, such as him and Pochi, were needed as backup.

Shaman Lair doesn't have much ambition to become a god, but he can predict what will happen if the marine life loses.

At that time, their mermaids may really only live in fish tanks for the rest of their lives!

After thinking about this, Shamanlael asked his final question: "There are only five people who have successfully completed the transformation, so what will happen to the other unsuccessful fish? And I am not yet an adult, if I promise you Are you sure nothing will go wrong after drinking that special potion?"

Hearing these questions from him, No. [-] didn't hesitate, and immediately answered them.

"Of course this [Divine Order Potion] can only be taken after an adult, otherwise it will easily lead to the failure of transformation."

"As for the consequences of failure...there is a possibility of death, the mortality rate is about 20.00%, and other surviving fish will have more or less side effects on their bodies."

"But you don't have to worry too much. We have accumulated a lot of experience now. Even if the transformation fails, we will help the candidate with follow-up treatment. At present, there are very few sequelae that are serious enough to affect life!"

After listening to No. [-]'s answer, Shamanlael touched his chin, his brows already wrinkled.

Good guy, it looks dangerous like this!

"How many candidates have drank the potion?" he asked again.

"There are a total of [-] people so far." No. [-] replied without hesitation.

There are a total of [-], and only [-] are successful. Samantel did a little calculation in his mind and found that the probability of success is less than [-]%.

This time he was even more worried. No wonder Pochi would refuse. This is not just a question of whether he is free or not, but a question of whether he will die or not.

No. [-] also noticed the worry on Shamanleir's face, and said solemnly: "I know that the success rate of transformation is indeed very low. Even if the transformation is successful, the chance of becoming a god is very slim."

"But there are some things that must be done even if the success rate is low!"

"It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The reason why a god is a god, in addition to powerful ability, also needs to have a strong heart and a noble soul!"

"Your body is still underage now. We will not rush you to embark on the road to becoming a god, nor will we disturb your life with your mother. We will try our best to let you live safely until you reach adulthood, but..."

Speaking of this, No. [-]'s tone was mixed with a hint of helplessness and sadness: "If the war really breaks out, when it is a last resort, even if the probability is low, it is worth fighting for!"

By now, Number Nine had finished what he needed to say.

It looked into the eyes of Shaman Lair, and asked in a serious tone:

"Samrel Stander Kampuche DeParo, I will now leave the decision to you."

"Excuse me... are you willing to become a candidate for the Sea God?"
