Chapter 290 - Mermaid (1/2)

Suddenly, a young girl appeared beside the boat. She was lying on the edge of the boat with her hands crossed. She was looking at Heath with her big, bright eyes.

It was an extremely beautiful young girl. She was about 16 or 17 years old. She had a pair of big, sapphire-like eyes. Her skin was as white as a pearl. Behind her, her hair was as bright as flowing gold.

She lay by the side of the boat, her eyes filled with curiosity, as if it was the first time a peasant girl in a remote town saw a Knight coming from afar.

The girl stared at Heath for a while, then asked, ”Can I come up?”

”Oh!”

Heath stepped back a little. ”Go ahead.”

The girl released her hands and pushed the boat up slightly. With a splash, she jumped out of the water and sat on the boat.

At the same time, the girl's full appearance was completely exposed to Heath.

It was a perfect but very strange body.

Her upper body was exactly the same as an ordinary human girl's. She had a slim waist that was like a water snake without the slightest bit of fat, tall and round breasts, and a beautiful and curvy collarbone. She looked like a doll.

However, the lower half of her body was very strange. The large forked tail of the fish was covered with fine blue scales.

This was a legendary Mermaid.

Heath asked cautiously, ”Were you singing just now?”

Mermaids were one of the top high-level demonized creatures in the sea race. They were also one of the few intelligent species in the Seafolk Race.

This race only had females and every Mermaid had unparalleled beauty and an angelic voice.

In order to reproduce, they would sing on the surface of the sea to attract passing sailors. They would use the sailors who were infatuated with their beauty to get pregnant, and then eat the sailors as food for consumption during pregnancy.

The girl burst out laughing.

Heath raised his eyebrows. ”What?”

The girl sneered. ”In this place, it's really rare for a Mermaid to make a Wizard wary. Shouldn't the one who should be afraid be Nami?”

A Mermaid's cruelty was only relative to ordinary human sailors, but to Wizards, they were actually very little of a threat. Most of the time, they used 'materials' to take advantage of the Wizards' experimental table.

Mermaid meat was still a good delicacy in the Wizard World...

Heath shrugged and did not answer, but asked in return, ”Nami. Is that your name?”

The girl said, ”Witch Nasha gave it to me. She likes to name everything, including her white mice, her knife and fork, and the tomatoes she ate this morning.”

Heath's mouth twitched.

He turned his head to look around and asked, ”I think I'm lost. I was going to Deep Sea Kiss.”

Nami said, ”Don't worry. The ship is still moving. You can't feel the advance because of the magic array set up by the Wizards. After all, this is the masterpiece of an intermediate Wizard.”

Heath was slightly stunned.

He quickly closed his eyes and released his spiritual tentacles into the surroundings. Soon, he noticed the runes all around him.

'So that's how it is!'

This discovery made Heath feel a little ashamed. He had always claimed to be proficient in magic arrays, but he did not notice the magic array that was right in front of him. It had to be said that this was indeed a shameful thing.

'There is no prohibition on learning. It is better not to be arrogant in the future!'

Actually, this could not be entirely blamed on him. The difference between an intermediate-rank Wizard and a beginner-rank Wizard was equivalent to the difference between an Apprentice and a Wizard. This difference was in magic power, runes, and even knowledge.

Based on the knowledge of an intermediate Wizard, it was reasonable for a beginner Wizard like him to not be able to notice the magic array.
