My mother's love song

I'm sorry, but this is the end of the investigation. Go back.

When the boy was about to return to the surface of the lake, he found that his hands and feet were entangled by black algae. Morse, who lived in the swamp, frantically pulled him to dive deeper.

Oops……

Under normal circumstances, Rhode would have been able to burn them to ashes by releasing a little bit of his magic power. However, as he was now being boiled in warm water, all his magic power had already been sucked away during the dive.

It was not until this moment that he completely understood that perhaps the Dark Swamp itself was already a living creature, the strongest zombie on the planet that possessed the spiritual base of the Crown Dragon Albion.

As we all know, water is a substance with an extremely large specific heat capacity, and this physical property also works in the magic world.

At this moment, the black mud of the entire Dark Swamp took away and stored all of the boy's magic power.

Rhodes is still far from his prime. Albion and the Dark Swamp formed by the corpses of tens of thousands of northern goblins are more than enough to swallow up all of his strength.

That's it for now.

Rhodes was entangled by a large amount of black algae and was unable to move as he sank into the bottomless abyss.

Sorry...I can't fulfill my promise to you.

Rhodes quietly apologized to the witch in his heart.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Luckily, I have a Plan B. I will try to come here after I am resurrected in Pan-Human History...

By then we might have to fight our way all the way from the Russian Lostbelt to here, so you better hold on, Jian... huh?

A strong but not blinding light penetrated Rhode's narrowed eyes.

In what should have been an absolutely dark world of death, nothingness, and decay, a shadow appeared.

Although it was difficult to see the other person's face clearly, Rhodes recognized that it might be a young girl through the shadow of her slender body.

To be precise, that is a girl in a broad sense.

Under the girl's beautiful body are not slender legs, but two long tentacles like a tail, with half-moon shaped fins at the front end of the tentacles.

Am I hallucinating before death? How could there be fairies living in the depths of the Dark Swamp?

While Rhodes was thinking this, the half-body girl moved towards him.

Just like a butterfly flying in the moonlight.

The girl's movement of flapping her tail and swimming towards the boy was so graceful, beautiful and natural that it was hard to equate her with the monster that lived with Morse.

Rhodes could not help but stare at it in a trance, and even forgot that this was foul-smelling mud.

After seeing the girl coming, the black algae untied Rhodes and fled in all directions.

The girl stopped beside Rhodes and put her arms around his waist without any hesitation.

Just when Rhode thought he was about to be dragged into the deep water again, the girl turned around, hugged him and swam upwards...

"You are……"

Rhodes made a sound with difficulty, trying to get her attention.

But the girl did not look back, she just kept swimming upwards.

After that, Rhodes lost consciousness.

Before he fell into a coma, the boy had only one thought:

"Ahh, so there really are mermaids in the world."

……

……

……

"That's right! I was saved by a mermaid!"

Recalling everything that happened, Rhode grabbed Ash's hand and shouted, "There are mermaids living in the Dark Swamp!"

“Mermaid…?”

After hearing this, Jian and Bawanxi looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

Staring at the two smiling people, Rhode said unhappily, "What's so funny? I really saw it. A mermaid with two tails, just like the one in Starbucks..."

"Sorry, sorry... We didn't mean to laugh at you."

Ash covered his mouth and said, "But mermaids should be those rare fantasy creatures that only appear in fairy tales in pan-human history, right?

They are girls who live by the sea and yearn for love..."

At present, when there is no connection between pan-human history and the fairy kingdom, the fairies certainly do not know about Andersen's fairy tales.

However, during the past salvation journey of Ash, the wise man Grimm seemed to have told his companions the fairy tale of the mermaid in his spare time, and later Ash told it to Bavanshi.

That's why they know about mermaids.

After listening to Jian's explanation, Rhodes frowned: "..."

Knowing Andersen's fairy tales, that means this guy Grimm the Wise is either a modern Servant or a European Servant... No, a Nordic Servant?

Anyway, write it down first.

"Nero, listen carefully. There are no mermaids in the Fairy Kingdom, and even if there are, they don't live in the Dark Swamp, right?"

Jian said firmly.

Rhode said excitedly, "Didn't you see the mermaid who brought me to the shore? If it weren't for her, I would have died down there! This place will have to have a sign put up to turn it into a new tourist attraction!"

There is a sentence like this written on the wooden sign by the lake.

The Goblin Emperor rests here. He was once an emperor and will always be an emperor in the future.

Ash looked towards the edge of the swamp: "...Ah, if you mean the child who rescued you. Here."

"?"

Then Rhodes saw a creature that looked like purple-black rotten meat wriggling on the lake.

This is not a beautiful mermaid at all, it's more like a "sewer mermaid". Compared with it, even the pervert from the Matou family looks cute and adorable.

"It doesn't seem to be Morse. To be honest, I have never seen a creature like this before."

Jian hid behind Rhodes with some fear, looking at the rotting monster and said.

"But since it was the one who saved you, it shouldn't be an evil creature...

Huhu, you are liked by a strange child.

You see, it seems like it hasn’t left because it’s worried about you.”

It looked like a rotten piece of meat that cameoed from the set of "Made in Abyss" or "Saya no Uta", with its mouth wide open to breathe. It had neither eyes nor nose, and almost no features that a living creature should have.

But... Rhodes sensed a familiar aura from it.

Even if a thousand years passed, or even if it rotted for ten thousand years, Rhodes would never forget that gentle magic.

He stood up with the help of Bawanshi.

"What's the matter, Rod? Do you know something?"

The boy nodded deeply, then walked towards the black and purple rotten meat alone.

"...!"

The piece of meat began to tremble after seeing Rhodes coming, and tried to escape back to the bottom of the lake in the form of a cricket.

"Ash!"

Rhodes shouted, and the witch lady immediately understood.

She waved her wand, drew words in the air and threw them out, using rune magic to freeze the piece of meat there.

Bawanxi stared at Rhodes' back and said nervously, "No, you can't bully it... It's so pitiful..."

"!?"

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

The girls opened their eyes wide and watched as Rhodes walked up to the piece of meat, then leaned down and hugged the trembling piece of meat tightly.

The boy didn't care about the ugliness and stench of the piece of meat at all, and didn't care that it was covered with dirty pus. He held it tightly.

At first, the piece of meat would constantly struggle in Rhodes' arms, but later it gradually calmed down.

"Rod... do you know this kid?" Jian asked in surprise.

"Ah."

Rhodes rubbed his cheek against the piece of flesh where his face should be and said happily with his eyes closed.

"She is my mother."

Ash & Bavanshi:?

"What are you talking about? How could it be your mother? Stop going crazy here..."

As Jian was speaking, the piece of meat in Rhodes' arms suddenly changed.

The purple-black rotten flesh continued to peel off, revealing the fair and tender skin.

The blurred facial features gradually separated and emerged as a girl.

The tumor in the body began to grow wildly, eventually extending into slender limbs.

"How can this be……?"

"The swamp creature turned into a girl in Rod's arms! And it's super super super cute!"

In just a dozen seconds, the rotten piece of meat in Rhodes' arms turned into an extremely beautiful girl.

The waist-length silver hair glowed with seven-color rainbow luster, and the beautiful and noble golden eyes were staring at Rhodes' face.

The soft facial features are both dignified and childish, yet also have a special kind of enchanting charm.

She was half a head shorter than Rhodes, less than 150 cm tall.

The fair skin is naturally decorated with keratin that resembles dragon horns, and the alien magical feeling only highlights the girl's sentimentality.

Even the black mud covering her body became an embellishment that made the girl look more erotic.

Compared with Jian and Ba Wanxi who were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, Rhodes still didn't care, as if the miracle happening before his eyes was a matter of course.

The girl before him was undoubtedly the "relic" of the Dragon of Albion.

According to the Fairy Kingdom, she is the "next generation" of Albion.

It is both reincarnation and offspring.

"AAaa..."

Seeing the girl who couldn't speak yet, with her lips trembling and her mouth half open as she tried to say something to him, Rhodes caressed her cheek lovingly.

"Okay, let's go back."

Update later today

I can't do it anymore. I feel sleepy as soon as I get up every day. My eyes are sore and my brain can't keep up. I can't write at all.

Go to sleep first and come back

Take care of yourself everyone!

Chapter 593: Rhodes, It's Mom

That afternoon.

Before evening, Rhodes and his companions had already found an open space near the lake to set up camp.

Although the Dark Swamp is equivalent to the most difficult dungeon map in the Fairy Kingdom, there are many ancient and powerful monsters living in this area, and it is not suitable as a resting point for travel.

However, Rhodes and his team were no longer in a good condition to move forward today.

Rhodes himself had already had all his magic power drained away by the swamp in the previous commotion.

Even though Rhodes now possesses dragon attributes, it will take time for his magic power to recover.
