The Haval mermaid hiding at the back said the most cruel words: "Look, look, I knew they were not good people. They must have been sent by that guy. Don't stop me, I will fight them to the death now and let them see how powerful I am!"
This sudden reaction left the four bodyguards feeling a little puzzled.
"What are you doing?" Stank asked in confusion, "When did we say we were going to deal with you?"
Gan Qiu also put his hands on his hips and said with some dissatisfaction, "Are you guys suffering from paranoia? If we were your enemies, why would we waste so much time talking to you? We would have attacked you the first time we met."
"Are you still pretending here?" The Haval mermaid pointed at the few people with a trembling finger and said, "Don't treat us like idiots! You already want to eat us, and you're still here talking nonsense! The creatures on land are really as cunning as that guy... Oh no, even more cunning!"
Although Stank and Ganqiu didn't quite understand what was going on, they were still very upset by being insulted by a woman like this (although the degree was very mild). When they were hesitating whether to teach them a lesson, Aesop stood up with a small bottle in his hand and said, "This is what we want to eat. Is it your relative?"
"……Uh?"
The three mermaid sisters looked closely and found that Aesop's small bottle was filled with things that looked like small pearls.
That thing looked so familiar to them that the Harvard mermaid was about to speak: "You really are..."
"Wait." The Siren mermaid seemed to understand something and stopped the Havard mermaid. Then she turned to look at Aesop and asked hesitantly, "The fish roe you are talking about...are you talking about the fish roe in the jar? You don't want to eat our fish roe, right?"
Aesop was a little surprised: "Ah, can you eat your fish roe?"
"Of course not!" The Siren Mermaid waved her hands repeatedly, "How can we allow such a thing?"
Everyone then realized that it was all a misunderstanding.
The Siren and Mello mermaids breathed a sigh of relief, but the Havard mermaid was still a little indignant. She said to the Siren and Mello mermaids, "Even though they didn't want to eat us, doesn't that jar prove they're in cahoots with that guy? How many of our kind are in that little jar? Big sister, are you just so indifferent?"
"Hey, stop talking like we've killed so many of your kind," Stank said unhappily. "We bought this can of condiment in town! Don't put the blame on us!"
"Humph, you're still quibbling. Even if you didn't do it yourself, what you ate...ah, he's already started eating!"
While the two groups were arguing with each other, Aesop had already sat down, opened the jar, scooped a spoonful of caviar, spread it evenly on the bread, and then began to eat it bite by bite.
This scene made the three mermaid sisters' hair stand on end.
"Hey, I really don't understand." Stank also noticed the three sisters' fear, so he looked at Jer in confusion and asked, "We're just eating caviar, aren't we? Why are these guys reacting so strongly?"
"Well, how should I put it?" Jer sighed, "I can understand them quite well."
"Huh? Why?"
Jer looked at Stank and asked, "You really don't know what caviar is made of?"
"I do not know."
"What about you?" Jer looked at Gan Qiu again.
"Nonsense." Gan Qiu proudly revealed his uneducated appearance. "I just eat it, I don't care where it comes from. Aesop, give me some too. I just want to piss off these stupid fish."
Then, Gan Qiu also imitated Aesop and spread the caviar he got from Aesop very evenly on the bread slices. While spreading it, he looked at the three mermaid sisters provocatively, as if saying, "Come and hit me if you don't agree."
Even after achieving this, he still felt it was not enough and dragged Stank along. Stank, annoyed by what the Harvard mermaid said, sat down as well, and the trio began to behave in exactly the same way.
Jer watched Ganqiu and Stank complete the act before slowly explaining, "Caviar is actually the eggs of female fish."
"puff!"
Stank and Ganqiu, who were still smug and looking at the three mermaid sisters with very provocative eyes a second ago, almost simultaneously spat out the caviar bread they had just eaten.
And unfortunately, the two of them spit towards each other, so they sprayed each other directly in the face, which was extremely embarrassing.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Stank choked because he ate too fast, but he didn't care about that at the moment. He looked at Jer with extremely shocked eyes, "You are not kidding me!"
Gan Qiu also said: "Don't tell such jokes at this time!"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Jer said unhappily. "Although I've known for a long time that you two are uneducated, I still didn't expect you to be this uneducated! You don't even know what caviar is made of."
After that, Jer gave Stank and Ganqiu a detailed explanation of the origin of caviar.
The more Stank and Ganqiu listened, the redder their faces became. Especially under the gaze of the three mermaid sisters on the other side, they both wanted to bury their heads in the beach.
If caviar is really that thing, then if we convert it a little, if it is a human, then wouldn’t they be eating... Damn, the more they think about it, the more terrified they feel. Stank and Ganqiu even want to find a place to wash their stomachs.
The only person who showed no emotion was Aesop, who was still eating slowly.
Stank turned to look at Aesop and asked, "Have you known what roe is?"
Aesop nodded and said, "Of course."
Stank asked hesitantly, "Can you still eat it?"
Aesop was puzzled: "Why can't I eat it? This is a delicacy."
Stank and Ganchu were speechless. Seeing Aesop's unrepentant behavior, the Harvard mermaid grew even more enraged. "How can this be considered a delicacy?! This is pure exploitation, oppression, and cruelty inflicted upon us, the descendants of the ocean, by you land dwellers! If you consider this a delicacy, then can you please let me have a bite of yours?"
Aesop looked at the Havard mermaid in surprise and asked, "Do you want to eat mine?"
"Yes," said the Harvard mermaid, "isn't it?"
"That's not impossible." Aesop thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure?"
The Haval mermaid sneered and said, "You don't dare, do you? If you don't dare, it's not fair!"
Aesop thought for a moment, then put down the bread in his hand and walked straight to the Havard mermaid.
The Siren Mermaid was afraid that Aesop would attack the Havard Mermaid, so she quickly stood between them and said, "Uh, my sister means no harm, please don't..."
"Sister! The more times like this, the more we can't retreat!" The Haval mermaid was unusually brave. She pushed the Siren mermaid away, stood up, and looked Aesop in the eye. "What's wrong? Are you going to fight just because you can't win the argument?"
"No, I just came here to ask, are you sure you want to try mine?" Aesop asked, "Right here? Right now?"
"Yes, right here, right now!" The Haval Mermaid was already certain that Aesop must have been scared, so she became even more proud. "Why, you don't dare?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of, since you really think so..."
Aesop reached out, grabbed the Havard mermaid's head, and pressed it down.
"Then let you have a taste."
349 Pai Daxing
After that, the Haval Mermaid became much more well-behaved.
It wasn't that Aesop actually gave the Havard mermaid a taste of his "roe," but rather that when Aesop held down the Havard mermaid's head, the Havard mermaid tried to resist, but when she used her strength, Aesop easily neutralized it. It was only at that moment that she truly felt the difference in strength between herself and Aesop.
The Siren and Merlo mermaids beside them could naturally feel it, so they quickly pleaded for the Haval mermaid, and Aesop did not continue.
He originally just wanted to teach the Harvard mermaid a lesson, and now, his goal has been achieved.
Moreover, the three mermaid sisters also felt Aesop's strength for the first time. Although they didn't know whether he was stronger than "that guy", he was at least stronger than them, and this alone was enough.
"Please help us." The Siren Mermaid bowed to Aesop, acknowledging his strength. This was also the first time she had formally asked for help since they met. "We really have no other choice."
Aesop didn't reply, and Jer beside him spoke for Aesop: "We came here for this in the first place. We've wasted a lot of time now, so we should get down to business. You should at least tell us who your enemy is, the 'that guy' you keep talking about."
The Siren Mermaid hesitated. "We've been referring to him as 'that guy' because calling him by his real name would immediately draw his attention, allowing him to find us. For over a decade, he's relied on this ability to hunt, so his name has become a taboo in the deep sea."
After hearing what the Siren Mermaid said, the escort team was a little surprised: "Can it be like this?"
They subconsciously looked at Aesop and asked, "What's going on?"
Then they found that even Aesop's face showed a hint of surprise, which made them even more surprised.
It’s over. There are things in this world that Aesop doesn’t know about. This really makes things serious.
"Calling her name will gain her gaze..." Aesop thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, this should be something only the goddess of today can do. The goddess can gaze upon her believers through their prayers and bestow power and blessings upon them."
Hearing Aesop say this, several people's hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
"No, that's impossible." Stank's mouth twitched slightly, "The enemy we are facing... is on the level of a goddess?"
"That shouldn't be the case." Aesop shook his head and said, "If he really had the strength of a goddess, there would be no need for him to keep chasing his prey and desperately want to improve his strength."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, but were still a little confused: "Then what on earth is going on?"
Aesop thought for a moment and said, "There's only one possibility: it's the ability of that long-dead mythical creature from the deep sea. And the guy chasing you must have acquired this ability."
Jer asked, "If that's the case, then that mythical creature from the deep sea also possessed power similar to the goddess's. Then how did it die?"
"This has nothing to do with power, but with faith." Aesop remembered what Lisa had said to him at that time, and explained to Jel, "The goddess's power comes from the faith of her believers. There is no one on the entire continent who doesn't believe in her. The first thing all believers do when they wake up every morning is to pray to the goddess..."
Gan Qiu was immediately startled: "Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, I didn't pray to the goddess! This is disrespectful, very disrespectful!"
Aesop glanced at Ganqiu and said, "The prayer I'm talking about is prayer."
Gan Qiu: “…”
"Did you expose something?"
"No, no, don't talk nonsense!" Gan Qiu immediately denied it, even a little anxious, "If you keep talking nonsense, I really want to duel with you!"
Everyone ignored him and continued to listen to Aesop.
"The prayers and faith of her believers constantly increase the goddess's power," Aesop said. "Every day she becomes stronger than she was the day before. She is the equivalent of infinity. But from this, we can also infer that before she became the powerful goddess she is today, she wasn't this strong. She is immortal now, but she wasn't at the beginning."
Aesop's deconstruction of the goddess's power is indeed quite disrespectful, especially the idea that the goddess will die in the beginning. If it were an extreme believer, he would definitely shout to burn him to death.
Fortunately, these old bodyguards... were not that extreme, so they didn't care much about it, and even thought carefully about Aesop's words.
Jer was the first to figure it out. He asked, "You're saying that the mythical creature from the deep sea might have possessed the same method as the goddess, gaining power from faith, but died before it could evolve to immortality? And that method was inherited by the guy who's now hunting these little mermaids?"
Aesop nodded.
"This... sounds a bit fantastical." Stank touched his chin, still feeling incredible. "Is it really possible? I mean, besides the goddess, are there really other species that can gain power from faith?"
"Yes," Aesop said seriously. "Take me for example. If my 'Aesop's Fables' could be a bestseller for a hundred years, or even a thousand years, and become as popular as the church's 'Holy Testament,' and every escort would silently recite my name and pray to me before drawing their sword against a nightmare, then I would be able to gain strength from my followers. In this way, I could also bring down my power to protect them when they are in danger."
Stank asked subconsciously: "What power and blessing can you bestow?"
"Of course it's related to the source of my power. Since they prayed to me before Tata Kai, the only aspect of Tata Kai that I can help them improve is that aspect." Aesop began to give examples. "For example, by chanting my name, I can make those who can't lift a sword stand firm, make those who can only hold on for three seconds stronger over time, make an embroidery needle evolve into a storm sword, and make a small water gun grow into a rapid-fire cannon... That's about it."
After hearing Aesop's words, both Stank and Jair showed shocked expressions.
As for Ganqiu...
The way he looked at Aesop was like the way he looked at the statue of the goddess during the winter solstice.
He tried hard to hold back, and didn't rush over to hug Aesop's thighs, shouting "Aesop, the eternal God", but tried hard to show a "disdainful" expression and said lightly.
"This this ...
Not only the three escorts were shocked, but also the three mermaid sisters.
Although the three mermaid sisters could not understand everything Aesop said, after all, they came from the deep sea and did not know who the goddess on land was.
But even if they didn't understand, they were still deeply shocked.
After all, Aesop could explain the source of that guy's power so clearly.
Even more, will he be able to become such a strong man who can receive the prayers of believers in the future?
Although they didn't quite understand what those golden spears were used for, seeing the excitement of the little guy next to them, they must have some powerful abilities.
"Come to think of it, I think I can indeed think about it in this direction." Aesop said, "I have never considered the question of titles."
"A title?" Stank asked. "What's that?"
“It is the name that believers recite when they pray to me.”
"Can't we just say your name?" Jerbi said, "Your book is called 'Aesop's Fables'."
"That being said, titles generally do exist. For example, Ryza's title is 'Black Witch,' and my teacher's is 'Ashes,'" Aesop said. "Generally speaking, a title should reflect one's attributes and pursuits, so that believers can better remember it. For example, if I'm a star magician, and what I pursue is breasts, then my title could be..."
"Patrick."
Life in 350 is so lonely like snow ah ah ah ah
"Patrick, Patrick?"
When people heard Aesop's title, they always felt an indescribable subtlety and weirdness.
"Yes." Aesop nodded, and then asked, "Does it match my characteristics and pursuits?"
Hmm... I didn't feel it at all.
But it's weird, but that's not the point. The point is the guy who chased the three mermaid sisters.
The three mermaid sisters saw that Aesop had demonstrated considerable strength and knowledge, which made them realize that if they missed this opportunity, they might never have another chance. So after exchanging glances, the Siren mermaid took a deep breath and made a decision: "I can't say his name directly, but I can write his name on the beach. Although this may still attract his attention... it's better than reading his name directly. Is that okay?"
Aesop shook his head to indicate that he had no problem.
So the Siren mermaid squatted on the beach. Having made up her mind, she did not hesitate when she "picked up the pen", but decisively wrote a name on the sand - "Reinhardt".
