Arcane Age

The daughters of the sea live deep in the bottom of the sea, and only when they reach the age of fifteen are they eligible to go to the world beyond the sea, first the oldest one, then, one by one, until finally, the youngest and most beautiful one You can also freely surface the water and look at the world from afar.”

...

Don't you want your beautiful tail? Are you willing to give up the freedom to float like a dance? said the little mermaid, I will. So stupid, said the sea witch, love is so stupid! That's even more stupid!... But I'd love to help you, because, what I love most is seeing women's dreams of love shatter! I can give you a potion that will turn your tail into two beautiful human legs. Of course You will pay the price, you will suffer for it—? said the little mermaid, I will.

...

The little mermaid found that her fish tail was gone, replaced by two slender legs that only human women have. When she started to walk, her feet were like stepping on sharp knives, and she felt that she was Bleeding. Yes, the sea witch said that I would suffer, she thought, so it was like this—every step was like walking on a steel knife—every step leading to love was walking on a steel knife! But the way she walks like this is beautiful, like a dance...a dance on a steel knife!

...

The little mermaid sang softly, a beautiful and sad song floating on the deserted sea. This is the time when the day is coming to an end... The little mermaid sings alone, with love with a faint hope. She has the bottom of the sea And the most beautiful voice in the world, but she is a child who loves silence—and love makes her more silent. She can only sing. Sing. In singing, she feels that the pain is no longer so strong, and there is something beautiful in singing To grow. Because we know that love is good, even when it is not returned—it is still good in our own hearts...”

Is this a song from heaven?

...

She looked at him, her smile was weak. She looked at him, he was still so good, she still loved him. The love was her own, she could never ask for him. She just wanted to look at him, look at him , so that he can be remembered. For so many days, she wanted to leave the dust again and again, but stopped again and again. She couldn't remember his face. She couldn't always remember. She always thought, look again One look, one look and then remember. But she still didn't remember. Yes, she heard her heart shattering like glass into countless tiny sharp slivers, shooting into every part of her body. The corner became her secret eternal pain.

It's time to go. It's time to go—forever. In this world, where she's given so much hope, love, and pain, she'll never come again.

She is the daughter of the sea. She has returned to the sea. She is the daughter of the sea again, and she feels that she has become a drop. With countless drops. Boundless. Unconscious. Ning Ning. Eternal. And when we see When we were in the ocean, we couldn't know which drop of water was the little mermaid, and we couldn't know the story of every drop of water. We couldn't know the sadness and pain there...

This is Andersen's fairy tale The Daughter of the Sea, which is so suitable for the current environment. Xi Wei narrates this story, and when the story finally comes to an end, he realizes that all the Naga girls are left behind. shed tears of sorrow.

They were crying, as if they had experienced such a beautiful but sad dream.

The Naga warriors in the distance also secretly wiped the crystals in their eyes when no one was paying attention.

Xi Wei, this story is very good, but I don't like it! Natalia's eyes were red, she drove the seahorse close to Xi Wei, and Xi Wei held her tightly in his arms.

The Sea God's daughters dispersed, as if they had experienced a baptism, they seemed to have matured a lot.

In the following days, Xi Wei found that these Naga girls looked at him with admiration and admiration.

Seven days later, the team had sailed for more than 1,700 kilometers, Haima was already very tired, and a Naga city that was much larger than Kuhala City appeared in front of it.

Mr. Xi Wei, this is Merid City, the largest city in the western part of the kingdom! We will rest here and move on! The four-armed Naga girl who performed the sword dance was introduced to Xi Wei , she is the oldest and most majestic among the sea god's daughters, and she is the captain of this team.

Very good! I also want to see the scenery of this city! Xi Wei was a great interstellar traveler in his previous life. He has visited and ventured into no less than a hundred interstellar civilizations. The so-called planar traveler Status is by no means exalting oneself.

At this time, Moreid City has become a sea of ​​celebrations. It is less than a month before the opening of the Sea God Festival. Almost all the teams participating in the Sea God Festival in the entire western sea area must pass through here, and a large number of Na Jia warrior and daughter of Poseidon.

The Sea God Temple in Merid City is very large and magnificent. The gate of the main hall here has been opened, and all the daughters of the Sea God can live in it. The Naga warriors have a slightly lower status and can only sleep in the square outside the temple.

As foreign guests, Xi Wei and Natalia obviously couldn't enter the temple, so they could only find a place to rest temporarily.

All the sea god's daughters from Kuhala City gathered around one by one, and reluctantly said goodbye to Xi Wei and Natalia. The two parties agreed to meet again at the east gate of Murray City in the morning three days later.

The area of ​​Merid City is very large, already surpassing the size of Ajaccio. There are about 60,000 Nagas living in it, and it is already the top five largest cities in the Naga Kingdom.

Ordinary adult Naga residents also have the strength equivalent to that of a first-order fighter. Based on this calculation, the Naga Kingdom with a total population of about one million is undoubtedly a very powerful force.

What are we doing now? Natalia asked.

I was thinking, we originally came into this plane from the stone pillars standing in the east and northeast, but now we are located in the west and southwest sea areas of the Naga Kingdom. In other words, the positions of the three parties are almost certain. You Guess what Gugli, Katerina and Cook will do?

Xi Wei took the hippocampus by the rein and walked on the wide streets of Moored City.

The capital of the Naga Kingdom has almost always locked its gates on all sides. It is closed to the outside world all the year round. It is only fully opened during the Triennial Sea God Festival. I think they will definitely join the Sea God Festival team! The only way and reason for Ganar! I am not too clear about the peak combat power of the Naga Kingdom, but it is almost impossible for a medium-sized plane to produce a legendary powerhouse! That is to say, they are likely to be in the other three seas similar to In a city with the status of Morrid City, trying to control the situation, even spying on the temple secretly!

Once shifted into the thinking mode of the earl's heir, Natalia is still very reliable.
