Mermaid Wharf

……

……

After explaining the next plan clearly, I hugged Velija and fell asleep.

It seems that he has not been able to sleep well for a week, and he has not completely gotten used to this human body. When he fell asleep, his legs were still tightly closed like fish tails, rubbing against my inner thigh softly However, he didn't seem to have any discomfort, leaning against my chest as usual, with a sense of security.

A big stone in my heart fell to the ground quietly. Even though there was not much time left before dawn, I still had a good night's sleep.

Temporary workers don’t need to go to work early like crew members with contracts. They just need to report to the first mate at noon. After I woke up, I changed my clothes and asked Godwin for a brightly colored turban and exaggerated sunglasses. Putting it on for myself and Velija, I calmly pretended to be a passenger, and took Mo'er to the deck for breakfast.

Godwin didn't show any surprise to Velijia who appeared suddenly, but Mo'er recognized at a glance that this was the big brother who played water polo with her by the pool last night, and she played with him very happily. After greeting, I asked where I made this new friend.

I forked a piece of cuttlefish sausage, looked at Wei Lijia, who seemed to be a little restrained, and dipped the yellow mustard on the plate, and then said slowly: "Mo'er... this is yours, um... sister-in-law ..."

Mo'er opened her eyes wide, while Godwin turned his head suddenly, obviously shocked by me; Veliga also obviously didn't expect me to be so straightforward, and a mouthful of orange juice splashed on the governess opposite.

I calmly took out two handkerchiefs, handed one to Godwin who was still in astonishment, and personally picked up the other and wiped the corners of Velija's mouth without explaining too much.After all, we are a family that will live together in the future. There are certain things that Mo'er will know sooner or later. Anyway, for children who have not yet formed a stubborn view of right and wrong, it is much easier for adults to accept such things, so I don't think so. I am very abrupt.

I looked at Mo'er, and Mo'er really didn't pay too much attention to the matter of "brother's wife is a man". Instead, she was dazed for a while, and then whispered depressingly: "But Anna and Luo Luo Du said that he would be his brother's bride when he grows up, didn't his brother agree to them?"

"Uh……"

Velija glanced at me faintly, I turned my head away with some guilt, and squeezed his hand under the table.Although I had never been in a relationship before I met Velija, I was pretty good-looking after all, and being liked was a normal thing; The little girl made such a promise, but at this time, it was obvious that she couldn't ignore Mo'er's question in front of her self-confessed lover.

"Mo'er, my brother likes Anna and Luoluo very much, but marriage is only possible for two people who love each other; in this world, only Velijia can give my brother happiness, and only my brother can give him happiness. Mo'er will also When you meet someone you really love, you will understand this feeling."

As I spoke, I looked at Velija, and found that he was staring at me playfully with his chin propped up. Only then did I realize that he hadn’t eaten this kind of flying vinegar of unknown origin at all, but just wanted to see how serious I was.

He seemed very satisfied with my explanation. Although through the fancy sunglasses, I knew how gentle eyes were hidden under those lenses.

Maybe as early as the first time I was stared at by him with such eyes, I had already fallen, but I didn't want to admit it at the time.

……

Mo'er looked at Velija, then at me, and stopped talking with a sad face.

Although she still cares more about her little girlfriend than her beautiful but unfamiliar big brother, Velija obviously has a natural charm that attracts children, and it didn't take long for her and Mo'er to become close; we had breakfast After returning to the inner cabin, Mo'er had completely forgotten the depression just now, and pulled Velijia to play Beast Chess with him.Godwin leaned against the cabin door and smoked, his eyes under his bangs were always on Velija's lower body, and he turned back to me after a while and said:

"I remember you said that your lover is a mermaid?"

I froze for a moment, and said truthfully, "Vilija was indeed a mermaid once."

Because I didn't intend to hide anything from my only ally here, I wanted to tell him the reason why Velija became human, but Godwin didn't seem to want to continue asking, just murmured to himself:

"A mermaid can really turn into a human being... It seems that my wish can't be called a dream come true."

I listened to his confusing words, and I became accustomed to the teacher's strange daily remarks. I also saw him sit down next to Mo'er after smoking a cigarette, and joined their battle. The three of them obviously got along well. It was very harmonious, so I took out my pocket watch to check the time, changed into my original attire and went to the chief mate to report on time.

Although my original intention of boarding this ship was to rescue Velija, and now there is no need to work for them as a temporary worker, but I still need this sailor suit to become more familiar with this ship, so that I can find a The hidden passage rescued Quentin and the others.

I can't return the legs that have become part of Veliga to Quentin. Besides, I am willing to repay the favor as much as possible in other ways; more importantly, if the Undead All the pirates died on this ship. If Quentin can't come to save me ten years later, I have no chance to save everything.

In the afternoon, the number of people shuttled on the boat gradually decreased. Most of the nobles took small boats to visit the beautiful coral islands and jellyfish lakes nearby. The huge Polar Joy suddenly became much more empty.Angelo, the man who doesn't fit in with this ship, seems to be slacking off again. I didn't see him anywhere on the deck all afternoon. After simply finishing the scrubbing task, he slipped into the storage compartment to get some for the pirates. Food and fresh water, and then back down to the cozy atmosphere of the interior cabin below deck.

Colorful chess pieces and jigsaw puzzles were strewn about on the small bed. Mo'er seemed to be tired from playing, and she was sleeping soundly on Velijia's lap wrapped in a blanket.The scene in front of me was obviously more harmonious than I had imagined. Mo'er accepted Wei Lijia so easily, and Wei Lijia saw me taking off the goggles and scarf, so she made a booing gesture to me, and carefully moved Mo Lijia. My son moved his little head back on the pillow, obviously adapting to being an older brother.

I kissed him in a good mood. I wanted to go to the mermaid's habitat with him to watch according to the original plan, but found that a certain tutor didn't seem to be here.

"Where's Godwin?"

"Mr. Godwin said he was a little bored, and just went for a walk by the pier."

Veliga and Godwin seem to get along especially well. Although today is the first official meeting, they seem to be quite familiar with him. Although I won't be jealous because of this, I always feel that something is not right.Perhaps Godwin did have such abilities. Human children were no problem, and even the once proud mermaid prince could be conquered easily.

I never expected that the familiar person on this ship was not my old friend Bjorn ten years ago, but the tutor who I had forgotten for many years.

Putting aside all the messy thoughts for now, I thought for a while and said to Velijia: "If Teacher Godwin isn't here, we can't leave Mo'er alone on the boat. How about this, you stay here with her, I'll go over there first to see See if there is any sign of your uncle; he may not come ashore today, and I will be back soon."

Velija hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Now he is not fully familiar with human society, I dare not let him do something alone, and seeing his obedient appearance without objection, I couldn't help pinching the smooth face in front of me, and jokingly said:

"Then I'm leaving. You have to be a good sister-in-law at home, otherwise I can only divorce you and marry Anna or Luo Luo."

Veliga glared at me dissatisfied, rushed over and bit my lips angrily, then rubbed my neck and said:

"Go early and return early."

……

……

I rented a small fishing boat in the seaside market, and the red clouds in the evening almost flooded the entire Feishi Wharf, and the nobles who came back from the game also returned to the Polar Joy to have dinner one after another, heading towards the west at the end of the sunset At the sea level, I propped the boat and drove slowly towards the sea cliff where the mermaid habitat is.

I thought that the location of this sea cliff was very hidden, and no one else would find it besides me, but when I stopped the boat and stepped on the blue-gray reef, I discovered that a figure dyed golden by the setting sun had already appeared. Just stood there alone.

That's when I realized it was Angelo.

Thinking that I seemed to have promised to accompany him to this place to look for the mermaid last night, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then remembered that I was still wearing a turban and goggles, so I calmed down a little and walked behind him calmly.

On this Polar Joy ship ten years ago, I have already found my real lover and sister. In theory, I have no regrets—except for revenge on the paranoid Death Doctor in front of me.

He not only tortured and killed Villiga, but also tried to destroy my freedom for the rest of my life ten years later. Even though he might be my half-brother, I can't forgive him at all. Come; if I now give him a nudge while he's unconscious, he'll fall straight off the rocks and die in the dark depths of the seabed without anyone noticing.

At this moment, I realized that I was caught in an embarrassing paradox——

If I kill Angelo here, then ten years later he will never appear in my hometown port to recruit sailors, and I will not board the Royal Ghost because of this, let alone the mermaid prince far away at the bottom of the sea fell in love.

This realization made the tip of my nose sweat, and I slowly withdrew my outstretched hand, then raised it unwillingly again.

Is it really necessary to let this devil go unpunished?

……

When I hesitated and froze in place, Angelo turned around as if he had noticed something, looked at me in great surprise and said, "Mo Lan, you're really here!"

I secretly twitched the corners of my mouth, did not explain this annoying coincidence, but also pretended to be familiar and chatted with him. "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" I faked an apologetic smile, "The oyster business at home is a bit busy today, so I almost forgot about it."

"It's all right, I just arrived." Angelo waved his hand generously, his eyes fell on his boat docked by the reef, and his voice sounded a little tired, "I've been picking bait all day today, but it's expensive It took me a lot of work."

I froze for a moment: "Bait?"

Following Angelo's line of sight towards the boat buried in the shadows, I found that there were actually a few beautiful youths lying on the boat who were tied up. They seemed to be famous nobles on the Polar Joy, and they were all drunk at this time. He fell asleep like drinking wine, as if he didn't realize that he had been kidnapped.

"The bait that attracts mermaids." Angelo explained succinctly, "This season is the estrus period of mermaids, and mermaids, male or female, only like beautiful human youths; it's a pity that I am the only one with blond hair that mermaids love the most. Hope they are useful."

Angelo's courage is obviously bigger than I imagined. I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard what I said, and I didn't know what to say; although Viscount Garcia is quite a wealthy nobleman, his honor and prestige are not too high , There are many sons above the count on this ship. If Angelo offends someone, even his father may not be able to settle it.

Angelo paused for a moment, as if he could read my thoughts: "Don't worry, I gave them tranquilizers and drugs to ensure that they won't remember anything after waking up, and won't cause any unnecessary troubles." .”

Seeing what he said, I had no choice but to nod, and watched as he dragged those unlucky beautiful young men out of the boat, tied them up on the rocks facing the sea, and took out a bucket to put them in the water. underfoot.

"What is this?" I asked curiously.

"Suna fish, the mermaid's favorite food."

I fell silent.

As expected, Angelo was not just pure fanaticism, he was really well prepared to ensure that every mermaid who sneaked ashore during this season would be double fatally tempted.After setting everything up, the sky was completely dark, and a little bit of starlight fell on the calm and deep sea. He took out tools and lit a fire, opened two more cans of beer and asked me to sit beside him.

Although this kind of behavior of waiting for rabbits seems really stupid and hopeless, when I think of Veliga's uncle who may be launching a revolution at the bottom of the sea, I suddenly have a bad feeling.Whatever the reason for the disappearance of the merman named Moran ten years ago, I sincerely hope it wasn't an encounter with the demon Angelo.

But after all, I couldn't drag back the demon who was in high spirits at this time, so I could only secretly pray that the uncle would not go ashore at this time; fortunately, Angelo's drinking capacity was extremely poor, and he was already a little insane after two cans of beer, but He kept his energy up and used the binoculars to observe the distant sea. After a while, he fell into the boat under the guarantee that I would stand guard for him, and fell asleep unwillingly.

I looked at the sea level that didn't make any waves in the night, and moved Angelo to the depths of the cabin with some gratitude, intending to take the few noble youths who were still sneezing in their sleep back to the Polar Joy.

At this moment, I noticed a figure moving on the reef. I thought it was some unlucky guy who woke up, but when I got closer, I realized that he was actually a mermaid.

It was obviously a full-grown beautiful mermaid, with a vigorous and elegant back undulating slightly under the starlight, and the tail pulled out of the water was gleaming silver.He was idly scanning among the comatose pretty young men, pinching their cheeks with his raised hand, as if he was picking a Chinese cabbage.

Thinking that only royal mermaids have silver tails, I felt a little flustered; the fire had just been extinguished, and I couldn't see his appearance clearly, so I could only tentatively whisper:

"... Moran?"

The mermaid in front of me was obviously not very sensitive to the name, and turned her head after realizing someone was speaking, as if looking at me with a frown.

Since his name is not Moran, it seems that he will not be Velijia's uncle.As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw him suddenly come around the rock where the handsome young man was tied, and hesitantly stopped in front of me. He seemed to be talking vaguely, which sounded a bit like Old English.

I shook my head to show that I didn't understand, so he paused and said with a standard capital accent:

"Are you calling me?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch my cheek, and then slid down to the name tag on my chest.

"Molan...not a bad name."
