755 The Song of Mermaids (2/2)

Lucien shook his head with a smile. By logic, it should have been him who was more curious about the ”mermaid princess”.

The two of them flew as fast as two streaks of light in the sky. Very soon, they arrived above the reefs and saw the legendary mermaid whose upper half body was a human being and whose lower half body was a fish tail.

Her scales were as shiny as gold, unlike other mermaids, but they also gave the feeling of being transparent, exuding a dreamy vibe under the sunlight.

The upper half body of the legendary mermaid was naked, and her skin was as fair as milk. Her blue long hair dangled and covered her rising bosoms perfectly. Her face was delicate, innocent, and full of charm. Her water and blue eyes were as soul-attracting as her song.

”Ha. She's even prettier than rumors have it.” Natasha smiled like a gentleman, but the Sword of Truth in her hands did not shake at all, and she could launch an attack at any moment. Inside her silver eyes, there was nothing but attention and caution now that her curiosity had been satisfied.

The mermaid had sensed them when the two of them approached. She waved her gold tail and slapped the surface of the ocean, raising a tsunami that could have destroyed the ocean. However, at this moment, she saw that the environment around Lucien changed. The blue sky suddenly turned dark, as if the night had arrived early, and the ocean was enshrouded in the infinite darkness. In the middle of the darkness, gold, silver, white, and other colorful stars were glittering. Among those stars, there were the most terrifying fireballs that were emanating unimaginable heat like the sun.

Her captivating blue eyes constricted abruptly. She stopped slapping her tail and singing the song and asked in a gentle and clear voice, ”Are you here for me, my dear guests?”

She used the peculiar tongue of mermaids first, but she soon switched to the common tongue of the sea clans. However, for the knowledgeable Lucien, both were the languages that he was quite fluent with. Although Natasha did not have a deep understanding of arcana, language study was a compulsory course for any nobles, and Lucien had ”taught” her a lot, so she was able to understand it too.

”We're wondering if you are one of the seven sea generals under the Master of the Boundless Ocean, my lady.” Lucien nodded in satisfaction. Although he had a lot of battle experience, he disliked meaningless battle and slaughter. That's why he demonstrated his strength just now so that the legendary mermaid could see the gap and make a sensible choice. Deterrence was sometimes more useful than fighting.

The mermaid replied with a pleasant voice, ”Yes. I am Doris. Can I help you?”

Doris was the name of the Mermaid Princess.

Seeing that the Mermaid Princess was highly wary but too scared to attack, Lucien smiled and said, ”My lady, I would like to know if there is anything about the Blue Gate that you can tell us.”

”How did you…” Doris was so surprised that she blurted out her question, but she immediately stopped it, as if her secret had just been seen through.

Natasha and Lucien looked at each other. It couldn't be so coincidental, could it?
