Chapter 473 Do Mermaids Really Exist? (Update)

"You go and ask."

"You go and ask."

Several children were pushing and shoving each other.

In the end, it was Oaks, who seemed braver, who went down to ask.

"Grandma, do you know what's in the sea? Why don't adults allow us to go near the beach?"

The old lady had her eyes squinted and was fanning herself intermittently with the fan in her hand, as if she was asleep.

Only after hearing Oaks' voice did she open her somewhat cloudy eyes.

"The sea."

She closed her eyes. "A long time ago, there was a legend about the sea."

"That means there lives in the sea the god who created the entire world."

The children in the tree gradually came down from the tree and gathered around to listen to the old lady telling stories.

"God created the world, and because He loved the ocean, He made most of the world filled with the ocean."

"Then, this god created land, which floated on the surface of the sea and occupied only a very small part of it."

"After creating the world, the god felt lonely. He used himself as a model to create his favorite race: the mermaids, who could move freely on land and sea."

"Mermaids have the most beautiful faces and the most beautiful singing voices. Their tears turn into pearls, and their pearls can cure diseases."

"Their scales can repel the sea, and they can use the seawater to spin silk as beautiful as the sea. They are the favorite children of the sea god."

Several children let out a "wow" sound.

They all seemed drawn in by the story.

An old man nearby sneered, "Still talking like that? Everyone knows things have changed now? Mermaids? What mermaids? I think they're just a bunch of man-eating monsters."

"They specialize in deceiving hairless brats like you. Once they have you, they'll use their sharp fangs to tear your flesh apart."

"Really? There are really mermaids in the sea?"

"Do they eat people?"

"No wonder my mom and dad wouldn't let me take you near the beach."

The old lady did not refute, but closed her eyes again and fanned herself: "The old man is right, you young people should not go near the beach."

The other children saw that it was getting late and almost time for dinner, so they were afraid of being scolded by the adults, so they went back home to their mothers.

Only Oaks kept thinking about the story of the mermaid.

Do mermaids really exist?

Do they really have such beautiful looks?

Do they really possess pearls that can cure diseases?

Oaks was a little absent-minded when he returned home.

Until he heard a cough coming from the house.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough..."

He quickly ran over and poured a glass of water.

The man lying on the bed is his grandfather.

My grandfather is old and has a lot of illnesses, but he doesn't want to get treatment, so he just lies in bed and lives in agony.

"Grandpa, drink some water."

He struggled to drink a few sips of water from the bowl brought by Oaks.

After drinking it, he coughed less.

"Ox, grandpa is old and can't stay with you for long."

"Maybe if you close your eyes today, you won't be able to open them again tomorrow. Oaks, promise grandpa that you won't go near the sea. When you grow up, go find a job in the main city."

Oaks could only promise his grandfather, "Okay, I won't go near the sea. When I grow up, I will go to the main city."

"Good boy."

Grandpa lay down and waved his hand: "Go and eat. I can't eat anything in my current state."

Oaks finished the meal with his mother without any appetite.

Mother is very busy. After dinner she has to go to the fields to work again.

Oaks usually goes to college, and when he comes home he is responsible for taking care of his grandfather, or occasionally going out to play with his friends.

Shen Yu leaned against his door.

The people here are very simple and don't have the habit of locking their doors. Perhaps there are no valuable items in their homes, so they keep their doors open during the day.

"Your name is Oaks?"

Oaks was startled when his name was suddenly called. He turned around and saw a stranger standing at his door.

The man was wearing complicated but beautiful clothes, a bit like someone from the main city, and he was wearing a cloak on the outside.

Only people in the main city would wear such flashy clothes.

Oaks: "Yes, my name is Oaks. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Yu pulled up his mask and said, "I have something to ask of you. Don't worry, I will reward you. How about a bottle of healing potion?"

Ox was delighted and was about to agree, but he looked at him suspiciously: "Healing potion? How do I know if it's real? And who are you and what do you want me to do for you? If you want to do something bad, I won't agree."

This kid is quite alert.

Shen Yu thought with some amusement.

The reason why he talked to Oaks was that he saw that Oaks had good talent.

He is bold, playful, alert, and more importantly, has a good character. If he doesn't go astray in the future, he will be a very good reserve witch.

Moreover, I wonder if the races in this world have more magical physiques.

For example, the Siren has some special racial talents.

The people in this world also have very good physiques.

At least they are much stronger than the humans on Blue Star.

It seems that we can set up a branch here, which should attract a lot of new members.

"Of course I won't let you do anything bad."

Oaks thought about it and decided to follow Shen Yu out.

along the way.

He noticed carefully that the neighbors would greet him when they saw him.

But he ignored the strange adult walking in front of him.

This person was wearing such unique clothes, why did they act as if they didn't see him?

Oaks' heart tightened, but then came the tension and excitement of discovering some fantasy world.

If there really were mermaids in the world.

Could it be that there is also a group of people who possess mysterious powers, such as the brave men and magicians described in the picture books in school?

Shen Yu brought him to the banyan tree.

Now there is no one under the banyan tree, and all the old people have returned home.

"Ox, have you heard of the legend of the mermaid?"

coming!

"Mermaids? Do mermaids really exist?"

"Yes, but they are not as harmless as you think. In fact, I am a knight sent by the main city to investigate. People have been disappearing in nearby cities one after another, and the number of missing people has reached over fifty."

"I'm here to investigate the whereabouts of those missing people."

Oaks's mind went blank. "You mean, those missing people were captured by mermaids?"

More than fifty people?

Is that much?

Oaks suddenly became scared. It turned out that he and his friends were once so close to death.

After listening to the story of the mermaid, the friends all said that they were unlucky not to have met a mermaid. It turned out that it was not bad luck, but luck.
