Chapter 135: Some Old Stories about the Mermaid Country
When Song Ying approached the cave, he found that there was a protective shield outside the cave. There was no sea water in the cave. He reached out and tried the protective shield and found that he could go in.
Turning around and telling the dolphin that had been following her to stay outside and not follow her in, Song Ying went straight into the cave.
After canceling the transformation state, Song Ying took out a flashlight. The passage he entered was wide enough for two people, and judging from the state of the stone wall, it was naturally formed.
The passage was not very deep, about five meters. Song Ying used a flashlight to observe everywhere. When he walked inside the passage, his vision immediately became wider.
Inside was a space of about 20 square meters and about five or six meters high. The light shone into the corner of the cave, where there was a skeleton of a mermaid.
Song Ying didn't dare to go over rashly. He looked at the entire cave first. After making sure there was no danger, he began to study the things in the cave carefully.
She looked at the mermaid skeleton for a long time. After all, she was not a professional and could not tell whether it was male or female. However, there was a suit of armor next to the skeleton, and judging from the size of the armor, it should be a male.
There were some cloths scattered around, but they were too old to have their original colors seen. The spears on the ground were also a little rusty due to the humid environment here.
Song Ying rummaged through the pile of things and found some arrowheads and broken arrows, which seemed to have been pulled out from the body.
When he turned over the armor, a cloth bag fell out of it. There were many dark brown marks on the cloth bag. Song Ying thought that they were bloodstains. The mermaid must have died here due to serious injuries.
Mermaids have always believed that the land of evil dragons is a forbidden area and generally would not come here. They would be chased and killed so much that they would not be rescued in the end.
Song Ying opened the cloth bag and found a gray ball inside, it was hard to tell what it was, and a thin notebook.
During the past few days Song Ying spent in the tribe, he discovered that they had no written language, not even paper. After all, paper was not easy to preserve in water, and it was rare to see it here.
The notebook was wrapped very well in the cloth bag. There was no sign of moisture and no blood stains. The cloth should be waterproof.
When she picked up the notebook, she found that although it looked thin, it had a lot of pages after flipping through it roughly. The paper used was not the one Song Ying thought it was, but a bit like the gauze she bought, very thin and light and not easily damaged.
When he opened the notebook, he saw words on it. Song Ying took a look and found that the words were similar to those he had seen in the Skew Empire before. Could it be that this mermaid country and the Skew Empire are actually in the same world?
There was no answer to the question for the time being, so Song Ying took a look at the words on it. The words were not written with ink. Song Ying touched it with her fingertips to feel the touch. It was more like embroidery, but it took too much time to embroider it, so it must have been some other technique.
This mermaid country actually had such technology in the past. If you don’t look carefully, you might really think it was written with ink.
[This originally powerful and gentle country disappeared just like that, all because of the princess's arrogance and willfulness, which pushed the entire mermaid country into an abyss of no return.
Queen Polly died of depression after the death of the princess. The evil woman ascended the throne despite the opposition of the Elders' Council. The evil woman, who was eroded by the power of the evil dragon, began to plunder on a large scale.
They completely ignored the will of the people and used force to suppress them. We were oppressed for 53 years, and that was when I stood up.
I did win the battle with the female devil at that time, but later I found out that it was because the female devil let me win. She didn't want to live in such pain anymore, and I helped her.
Unfortunately, I did not learn how to manage this country, and the Elders Council sidelined me. I originally wanted to lead this country out of the abyss, but I only pushed it from one abyss to a deeper abyss.
That group of ignorant people, under the instigation of the Presbyterian Church, want to force me to abdicate. I do not intend to abdicate. I will fight back with my army.
Damn the Presbyterian Church, damn the aristocratic families. 】
This is the top story in the book, but it looks like the last one.
Song Ying, whose feet were numb from squatting, just sat down on the ground and continued reading.
[I absolutely cannot let the Elders succeed. I must divide them up so that I have a chance to escape.
Let the butler contact some small families. I have a lot of resources to help them grow stronger and fight against the Elders' Council.
Unfortunately, I still underestimated the Elders. They bribed everyone around me, and only a small guard helped me escape.
I contacted my army and originally planned to counterattack and wipe out the entire Elder Council, but unfortunately the Elder Council was already prepared.
It's really despicable that those families raised so many soldiers without my knowledge.
I lost, and the rest of the army helped me escape, but they kept chasing us and forced us into a valley, where they wanted to annihilate us. 】
This merman should have killed Cynthia to take the throne, but unfortunately he was born a commoner and had no backing or help, so he failed to take control of the mermaid kingdom.
The reason why the mermaid kingdom finally fell apart was probably because of war. The war forced them to leave their original homeland, resulting in the current tribes scattered all over the place.
[Hahahaha, I finally understand why they kept chasing me. I took away the core of the Mermaid Kingdom when I left the Mermaid Kingdom.
Without this core, after the remaining energy disappears, the city of the Mermaid Kingdom will be submerged by sea water.
Although mermaids can still survive in the water, there are many inconveniences. What they learned on land cannot be used in water.
Hahahaha, I must hide this thing well and never let them get it. If they don't let me go, I naturally won't let them go either. 】
Seeing this, Song Ying remembered the gray ball from before and took it in his hand again to take a closer look.
[Mermaid Kingdom Core: Provides energy to the Mermaid Kingdom's protective shield. Now it is just dormant. One day you will activate it again.]
This time, Song Ying saw a detailed introduction to the bead. It looked like it should be a quest item for a certain quest. It would not be used now, so he could only put it away and see how the situation would develop later.
The notebook is very thin and has three or four pages of meaningless doodles at the back. They are so messy that it's hard to tell what the contents are.
This mermaid didn't seem to be in a good mental state in the later period, otherwise there wouldn't be such messy graffiti. And it didn't say how he escaped. I guess he was busy running for his life or was already seriously injured.
Song Ying put the notebook away, walked around the cave a few more times, and found that there were actually signs of life here.
At that time, the mermaid did not come here alone. There were other mermaids with him. However, those mermaids did not help him collect the body, and they did not even clear the traces here. There was only one possibility that they just went out temporarily and were unable to come back in the end.
Song Ying searched the armor again, as well as the remaining clothes on the mermaid skeleton. After making sure that nothing was left out, Song Ying left the cave directly.
She didn't know how to bury the mermaid, so she decided not to touch him and let him stay quietly in this cave.
When they were almost at the cave entrance, Song Ying clicked on the transformation button, and as soon as she touched the water, she turned into a mermaid. Calling the dolphins to go with her, Song Ying continued to swim along the mountains.
There is still more than a day left. The land of the evil dragon is too dangerous, so it is better not to go in. Now take a look at the terrain nearby. The notebook said that he was ambushed in a valley, but he died here. Is it possible that the valley is very close to here?
The mountains in this area are bare with nothing but rocks and mud. Halfway through the journey, the little dolphin seemed to hear something and rubbed against Song Ying. Song Ying probably knew that it was about to leave.
"Let's go, don't let your family worry."
Song Ying fed it some more fish, touched its head and urged it to go find its mother quickly.
When Little Dolphin left, Song Ying felt even more bored and missed Xiao Hei a little, but she still had to try hard to see if she could find any clues.
In the afternoon, Song Ying felt tired from traveling, so he found a place at the foot of a mountain to stop and rest. He sat at the door of the tent, eating while looking around. Naturally, he didn't find anything.
When he stood up and prepared to go back to the tent, he accidentally knocked over the night-shining pearl placed beside him, and the pearl rolled to the edge of the protective shield.
When Song Ying walked over to pick it up, he found something. There was half a jade plaque in the sand in the corner. There were some patterns on it, but it had been in the sand for too long and had been worn away, so he couldn't see clearly what it was.
He took the jade token and reached outside the protective cover to wash it. After the mud and sand were gone, Song Ying could see this half piece of jade token clearly. It looked very familiar.
She took out the nameless token she had won from a previous event and compared it with the other one. The materials were similar, but the nameless token felt better. It could only be said that they were similar things.
Song Ying stroked the patterns on it. The surrounding ones felt similar to some kind of curling grass patterns. There should be a pattern in the middle, but his fingers could not feel it. Only a faint mark was left. He would go back and see if he could make a rubbing of it.
After some fruitless research, Song Ying could only put away the half jade token and go back to the tent to sleep.
She was still woken up by the alarm clock. Song Ying thought that there was still half a day left, so she continued to swim forward and then clicked a button to return to the waiting room.
When Song Ying was still in the tribe, there was no one-click return function on her panel, and she didn't know how far away from the tribe she was before that function appeared on the panel.
It should be that Xiao Hei's copy system detected that it was too far away and could not return on time, so she took advantage of the loophole and added it to her. I have to reward Xiao Hei when I go back.
Song Ying packed up her things and continued her journey. She didn't see anything along the way until she discovered something unusual around noon.
Because the area in front of her suddenly changed from a mountain range to a circular basin, which did not seem to be formed by crustal movement or volcanic activity.
It was a very large basin, and Song Ying, who was originally at the foot of the mountain, was now at the top of the mountain.
The basin is not filled with only rocks and mud like the outside world. There are large areas of corals inside, and you can also see many fish swimming around.
Some lights can be seen flickering among the corals, making it look like a covered landscape.
Song Ying tried to move forward but found that he was blocked. It should be something like a protective shield that prevented Song Ying from entering.
Unwilling to give up, Song Ying began to wander along the periphery of the basin, trying to find the entrance. Unfortunately, when he was halfway around, he realized that he didn't have enough time.
She took out the map and pen she had obtained earlier and drew a mark on her current location. If she had the chance to come here again in the future, she would definitely find a way to go in and take a look.
Song Ying took another look at the basin and reluctantly clicked the button to return.
The next moment, Song Ying returned to the door of the waiting room, the same place where he came out before, and tried to open the door, but it didn't open.
Song Ying was a little confused. She looked at the time and found that there were still about ten minutes left. Song Ying could only wait at the door. During this time, many small fish came to play with Song Ying.
She discovered that after she became a mermaid, she had a natural affinity for most creatures in the sea, which was why the little dolphin had been following her.
When the time came, Song Ying pushed the door and entered the waiting room. As soon as she entered, Song Ying ended her transformed state. She had been in the fish tail state for most of the past seven days. If she had not been able to end it and walk at night, she would probably have forgotten how to walk.
[Beep, this mission is being settled...]
Song Ying took this opportunity to check out the things he had bought in the tribe. They were still in his backpack. Normally, things that were not allowed to be taken back into the waiting room would disappear, but the fact that they were still there meant that he could take them back.
When I came in before, I was told that this was the first stage mission of the hidden map, so there will definitely be a second and third stage in the future. So next time I can bring back some other things, even the mermaid technology.
Song Ying was sitting in the middle of the room in a daze, and was awakened by a sudden sound.
[Beep, this mission is settled:
1. Complete the main quest: save Dorothy, the heir of the mermaid tribe; obtain 1 mermaid treasure chest.
2. Trigger and complete the hidden task: expose the Great Elder and execute him; obtain 1 Mermaid Treasure Chest.
3. Trigger the hidden task: West Germany's last wish. This task is only triggered but not completed. The task can be completed the next time you enter the map.
4. Trigger the hidden task: Explore the underwater cenote. This task is only triggered but not completed. You can complete the task the next time you enter the map. 】
Song Ying saw the hidden task she had triggered. What was the last wish of this Xide? Was the mermaid skeleton called Xide?
While thinking about it, he pushed open the door and walked towards the train. Xiao Hei was looking at Song Ying at the door. When Song Ying came closer, he sniffed Song Ying, seemed to smell something, and walked away in disgust.
I can still hold the little black Song Ying now, but she’s too big and she no longer looks as soft and cute as she was when she was little.
Song Ying simply hugged Xiao Hei who was about to leave, buried her whole face in its fur, and rubbed it.
"Oh, Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, I missed you so much. There is nothing in the seabed. If I hadn't met a dolphin, I would have been bored to death."
Song Ying threw half of her body on Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei struggled symbolically for a while and then gave up, letting Song Ying hold her in her arms.
A man and a cat were lying in front of the train door.
