What did you do with the dice?

But Vishas did not give up. With the immortal body of a mermaid, she was basically alive as long as she was not dead. The small wound healed quickly in the blink of an eye. Then she stretched out her hand again. This time she learned it. When Phoenix stabbed her, she quickly dodged her hand to the side. However, Phoenix was not polite to her and immediately produced another thorn to continue stabbing her hand.

Vishas was not convinced and reached out again, but Phoenix stabbed her. However, Vishas's movements became more and more skillful. She didn't care about being injured at all and finally broke through Phoenix's defense. When the stab was about to hit her ear, Phoenix lost his patience. He was so angry that he took out the dagger and stabbed her in the stomach without mercy, and the whole dagger was inserted into her.

Rusalka, who was standing next to him, was still watching with a smile, but Phoenix's knife suddenly stunned him.

Vishas was bleeding profusely from her abdomen, but she ignored it and pinched Phoenix's ear with a smile on her face. "Hehe~ So soft~ So this is what the Orcs' fur feels like, softer than seaweed and jellyfish, and warmer."

After hearing these seemingly provocative words, Phoenix's tail stood up behind him, and black mist began to spread on the arm holding the dagger, and gradually transmitted to the dagger in the palm of his hand that was embedded in Visha's belly. His pupils constricted and he let out a dangerous hissing sound.

Rusalka, who was watching the fun from the side, saw this and immediately stepped forward and slapped Weisha's hand away: "Okay, okay, stop touching me!"

Weishas listened to Rusalka's words and reluctantly withdrew her hand, but soon turned her eyes, which were looking at everything with a passionate desire to explore, to Rusalka's ears: "What do human ears look like?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Rusalka's ear, but the next moment, a black line crossed her arm, and her arm was instantly cut in two, and her white palm fell to the ground.

Phoenix pulled Rusaka behind him, holding two daggers in his hands. Black mist was everywhere, and he looked at Vishas who was shouting "It hurts, it hurts" in grievance with a bad look. There was a sharp murderous aura in the air, as if he was going to cut her into pieces in the next second.

"I was wrong. I won't touch it anymore." Weisha looked at Rusalka's ear with regret. The hand on the ground gradually turned into water and seeped into the ground. At the broken part, the black mist was dispelled by the azure power, and soon a new small hand quickly grew out.

Rusalka was surprised at how fast she regenerated. Even after she herself escaped near-death through the Life Ferry, it took her ten seconds to recover, but she could completely regenerate in just two seconds. The mermaid's immortality was truly worthy of its reputation. "Damn it, Cat, you have to learn this trick! Once you master Cat Immortality, you can protect your ears and hands yourself instead of relying on the Holy Light to serve as your substitute!"

Phoenix:?

The fish behind seems to be a little undercut.

Next is the tour.

“This is the vegetable garden.”

"What is a vegetable garden?"

“It’s land that will grow vegetables.”

"Oh, so seaweed can be grown on land."

"That's about right. This is the kitchen, where we make fire and cook."

"I know that. You can throw things into the fire and it will taste good, or it may taste bad. Mr. Crown said so."

"Emm, that's about right. This is the lounge, for rest."

“How can we rest without seawater?”

"Almost... Oh, yes, you're right." Rusalka remembered the special care details for the mermaids that Crown had summarized before he left: "Add more salt to water, more water to salt." She replied, "I'll have the housekeeper buy a large fish tank later. This is your room, the bedroom, and this is the bed for sleeping."

"Oh! So soft! But it seems dry. Can I add water? Where is the lid?"

"Well, forget it, I'll give you the whole mini pool. But that doesn't make sense. Why does this bed have a cover? The smart Fish Translator has automatically recognized it for you. I guess you meant: quilt."

"What's a blanket? The shell beds we have in the sea are all soft and have covers. Without a cover, it's too bright and I can't sleep. Can you humans sleep in the light here? If there's light and no one is watching over the night, aren't you afraid of being attacked by sea beasts while you sleep?"

"Actually, it's dark here at night, and those sea beasts you mentioned are called demon beasts. The only place they appear in my house is in the kitchen. Okay, I get it. There are no shells. Then I'll buy you a custom fish tank. Let me think of one with soft, opaque surroundings, a lid, and shaped like a shell."

Very good, this is the specific requirement of Party A. We trust the wisdom of Party B’s craftsmen - even if they may never have seen a shell bed in their lives.

Rusalka had never seen it before, so she could only rely on her imagination brought from Earth and successful painting appraisal to draw a rough outline of its appearance. As for parameters and the like, that was not a problem.

What if you're not satisfied with the finished product? Don't worry, I, the Lord of Pearl Tears, am very easy to talk to. Just send it back and redo it.

Rusalka: (Sani Tower speaks!)

Sunny Tower: (What’s wrong? Do you need my hand to approve the fish tank? You have no hand either?)

Rusalka: (No, I just want to ask, why didn't the plan I mentioned to turn the bell tower into an aquarium go through? Now that the Narcissus Mermaid is here, are we just going to let her live in the aquarium? Oh my god, no wonder there are so few mermen left. If I were a pearl tear fish, I wouldn't even want to go on stage.)

Sanitita thought for a moment and decided not to use normal human communication to answer Rusalka's question, which was completely inhumane: (Oh, so I said it was because the First World Ring was banned. That makes sense, right?)

Rusalka: (Genius!)

Weishas is a very lively mermaid. Whenever she sees a servant on the street, she will actively greet him: "Hello!"

The servants were already curious about Vishas, ​​but Rusalka and Phoenix were standing by and didn't dare to approach. They could only greet her from where they were: "Hello."

"What's that in your hand?"

"This is a rag, used to wipe dust."

"What is dust?"

"Dust is..."

She was full of curiosity about everything in the mansion, asking questions everywhere, and talking more than the two elves when they first arrived, but her innocent look made it impossible to annoy her.

And she didn't know why she liked Phoenix very much. Even if she was stabbed, she would keep rubbing against Phoenix. Maybe the desensitization therapy was effective. Now Phoenix no longer refused her to get within one meter, but she still couldn't reach out her hand. As for reaching out to Rusalka, she couldn't even think about it. She would be cut off as she pleased.

They strolled around until dinner time in the evening. Phoenix pulled Rusalka and made a sharp turn in the corridor to remind her that it was time for dinner.

This time, Weishas didn't fumble around in the restaurant. Instead, she cooperated and sat down at the seat Phoenix had arranged for her in the left corner of the table. She happily used her fin-like arms to hold her knife and fork, waiting for the food to be served. "I know this. It's a human banquet!"

Rusalka thought about it and realized what she said was more or less the same. After all, he was the Grand Duke, and every meal he had was a grand feast. Furthermore, the two elves sitting to the right of the Sani Tower paid close attention to the menu every day. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a banquet. "How is it? Do you have a general idea of ​​the lifestyle in our Silver City mansion?"

Weishas smiled brightly, "I see. Humans are nothing like what the books say. In fact, we are all good people!"

Right, is that right?

Rusalka glanced at Sanita, who was sitting in the first seat on her right. He was the worst of the bad guys.

Weishasi had no fingers, so she blew bubbles into the air and counted them one by one: "Those who are in charge of cleaning are good people, Master Sanita is a good person, and Phoenix Cat is also a good person."

Rusalka was a bit mean. He didn't point out Vishas's problem, but asked, "What about me?"

I had to be hit by Phoenix, and now I feel comfortable.

"You are a good guy."

Rusalka: (Ugh, good guy card.)

Sanita: (Nervous.)

Rusalka: "So what do you think of my City Lord's Mansion?"

Weishas raised her hands: "Just like you, we are both the best in the world!"

Rusalka felt like she had found a soulmate, and she couldn't help herself: (Please enjoy the poem recitation below, "I Really Want to Be Miss Water Fairy's Fearful Claw (Dog)")

(I really wanted to be the Dreadclaw of the Water Fairy, but the Water Fairy said she liked the Kshatriya, and I cried. I know why I, who am neither the Dreadclaw nor the Kshatriya, was crying, because I am actually a Big Universe person.)

(I never expected to see Miss Naiad extra or even in the graveyard throughout the entire game. No graveyard deck would like the dark giant cosmic man. Miss Naiad said that she would go to the graveyard with everyone from now on. I don't know who everyone is referring to. I really hope this group can swallow me up.)

(I knew that if I wasn't careful, I'd be ruined by K-Corporation. Then Miss Narcissus would probably wrap my body up nicely and throw it into the banned card list, and I'd become a tribute on K-Corporation's planner's driftwood grave, hehe. The bonfire's light shone on my face, and G beside me was glowing faintly.)

(Meme note: The effect of Megatron is: After being thrown into the Graveyard, all cards cannot be sent to the Graveyard until the end of the next turn. Cards that would have been sent to the Graveyard are sent to the Banished Zone instead.)

Sanita: There’s no hope, let’s eat.

Chapter 346 Fish Experiment Log

At the dinner table, Sanitieta introduced Vishas, ​​who was practicing using a knife and fork, to Rusalka, who was shaking his head. "This is Rusalka the Dragon Slayer," he said, pointing his fingertips at Rusalka, who was shaking his head. "He killed the Red Dragon Baron Garces in Kalbes, and this is well-known far and wide."

Rusalka stopped chanting. He also learned from Sanita that Weishas had come all the way here just to give him a big gift package. He looked at Weishas and said, "I don't know why you came to me, but this is just a small favor. I'm just the red dragon Garces, a stepping stone. There's no need to thank me. Weishas, ​​if you really want to thank me, then I can reluctantly accept the blessing of the sea god."

Weishas swallowed the food without questioning the truth of Sanita's words. She smiled and said, "No problem! I put it safely in my little shell bag."

"Can this thing still be left outside?"

"Yes."

If you think about it carefully, each god has his own unique characteristics. The faith of the previous gods would turn into round beads and explode after the core believers died. Phoenix could also hand over the faith to Theresa by herself. Then the faith of Poseidon would be like a pearl in a clam shell. It could be materialized and taken out by herself while she was alive, and stored in other places for a long time. It was not impossible.

"So where is this shell bag now?"

Weishas said as a matter of course, "I was afraid of losing it on the road, so I left it at home. It's the safest place at home. When I take you there to take over the kingdom from my uncle, I'll give it to you."

So you came here empty-handed?

Rusalka frowned after hearing this. This was the first time she had heard this text from the Eternal Plane version: "Water Fairy, you're taking me to the Sea Tribe to inherit your kingdom. Do I have to transfer in northern Myanmar? Or is your Sea Tribe kingdom actually called the Myanmar Park?"

(Hey, you want to bite my kidney? You've come to the wrong place, Yuyu. You're in Pearl Tears Territory and you're still trying to escape? Let me taste a couple of mouthfuls of the fish soup first.)

Of course, Vishas didn't understand Rusalka's words. After all, even Phoenix didn't understand. "What is that?"

Sanita: "He's just talking nonsense. Fine, we're going to Esterlun anyway, so we can take you back on the way."

"Okay~"

What's so good about this? Rusalka glanced at the empty dessert plate in front of Vishas. Why didn't her tried-and-true cream cake work? Didn't the chef add ice to it today? Then why were those two elves still happily skating around as usual?

A week later, Vishas had completely adapted to life in the City Lord's Mansion. After observing and studying her, Sanita discovered that the reason why the sea creatures' strength was greatly reduced after they came ashore was actually related to two factors. One was "water". Without sufficient water supply, the sea creatures might become powerless in two days, and the stronger they were, the higher their demand.

Humans are just the opposite. In this world, as their strength increases, their endurance also increases accordingly: ordinary trained soldiers can persist for 4-5 days without water; qualified knights are said to be able to maintain their combat effectiveness without water and food for half a month. Of course, they need to make up for it beforehand and afterwards, but the sea people cannot do that and must maintain it every day.

Another important factor that affects their combat effectiveness is actually "salt". This is why the Naga mages at that time used storms and quickly captured countless cities on the coastline border with their military advantage, but gradually became powerless in the later advancement process and were beaten back. It was because they were too short of salt.

In this world, an ordinary human only needs to eat about 10 grams of salt a day to maintain normal vital signs, which is slightly higher than on Earth. I don’t know if it is a setting or some biological factor, but "superhumans" such as warriors need to consume more nutrients and salt to maintain body functions. The same is true for the sea people. Vishas needs to soak in salt water for one day every month.

According to the "Mermaid Feeding Manual" narrated by Clown, during the previous journey, since it was Clown's first time to raise a mermaid, the guards around him were obviously not well-educated and were not as good as him. No one knew how much she needed to eat, and Vishas couldn't explain it either. Anyway, she would eat when she was hungry, and she would give her food if she wanted to, and the supply was unlimited.

Then, based on complete statistics, Crown believed that the amount of food Vishas consumed every day was probably provided according to the knight's standards, or even more.

But being able to eat so much does not mean that this is the limit of her body. It was only because she "couldn't eat anymore" that she became weaker every day even though she was well fed throughout the journey, and finally had to carry salt water into the tank.

So how much was poured?

This is what happened because Crown had never studied chemistry, and he didn't understand what solvents, solutes, and solubility were. As long as he didn't see salt lumps precipitating, he would pour more water in until the salt sank to the bottom.

The answer is that the amount that finally brought her back to life was about 100 pounds of salt, which is equivalent to 45.4 kilograms, almost catching up with her weight. As to whether she absorbed all of this salt or there was actually some residue left, this question is now impossible to verify. We can't ask Rusalka to go back and lick the place where her water tank exploded to see if the ground is salty.

Of course, Crown's actions were all natural and subjective. In order to successfully go to the sea to get the blessing, Sanita would certainly not miss any opportunity to conduct an ecological analysis of the species in this world. So he took advantage of this week's free time and did a small experiment on Vishas to observe the relationship between "salt and sea people".

Contained Subject: SCP-1109, the mermaid Visas.

Hazard Class: Save (Current) - Keter (To be determined?)

Experimental conditions: Constant temperature Silver City Mansion;

A happy Vessas;

A large water tank, 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, with a sponge-lined interior. This needs to be replaced with clean, drinking-grade water at around 12 degrees Celsius at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. every day to regularly provide magic power to the thermostatic stone inside.

Standardized three meals a day: Phoenix is ​​strictly prohibited from feeding fish at night;

Absolutely sufficient amount of salt: This needs to be placed in another area before the experiment, and kept absolutely isolated from the contained object;

Experimental process 1: Let Vishas roam freely in the mansion for seven days. During this period, make sure that Vishas does not fight or cast spells. Ignore the injuries and self-regeneration when playing with Phoenix, so that she can maintain a good mood every day. Then feed Vishas human food, according to her own standards to reach the level of "full stomach", and add half of the elf's sweets, but do not include snacks that can provide extra salt. Finally, make sure that she sleeps in the same water tank every day instead of the fountain at the gate, covered with black cloth instead of the lid to ensure basic sleep quality.

The purpose of the experiment was to see how her condition changed after 7 days compared to before the experiment, to recreate Crown's situation, and to estimate how much salt she would need to consume to maintain her activities for a specific number of days.

Experimental Record 1: After 7 days, Vishas seemed to have no significant changes, but her liveliness and daily exercise decreased by approximately 21 percentage points. Her interest in Agent Phoenix also declined to a certain extent. Considering that this may be due to her familiarity with Agent Phoenix, this variable should not be recorded.

O5 Dr. Sanitta said: There is not enough time and variables for observation. According to common sense, if Vishas were to engage in battle during this period, his condition might decline faster.

Additional experiment 2: The current water temperature is 12 degrees. Pour a bag of salt with a total weight of 1 pound into it and stir it evenly with a clothesline.

Experimental Record 2: D-Class personnel Rusalka, who actively participated in the experiment, took a sip of the small spoon she had been carrying for some reason, smacking her lips and saying, "Why is this boiled water tasteless?" Through close observation of the experiment of pouring salt into the fish tank where she used to live, it was discovered that once the salt entered her body, it was filtered and absorbed through her skin in a way that could not be explained by common sense of magic or chemistry, and the absorption rate was extremely fast.

Additional experimental dialogue records are as follows:

Sanita: (So why did you bring your own spoon?)

Rusalka: (Don't you know? This is the new card from the Pearl Tears collaboration with Gunguan [Gunguan Appetizer Tears Soup])

Sanita: (Which era did you travel from? How come I didn't know there was such a card?)

Rusalka took another sip: (So it is there now.)

Additional Experiment 3: Continue to pour in salt, keep stirring rapidly to make it fully dissolved, and have D-Class personnel Rushaka use a straw to continue to inhale violently. The latter expressed that she wanted to add pearls to it, but her request was rejected.

Experimental Record 3: After absorbing approximately 5 kg of salt, D-Class personnel Rusalka expressed a salty taste and requested the addition of sesame oil, star anise, fennel, soybeans, and chopped green onions, simmering over low heat until the mixture turned white. This second request was rejected.

The salt continued to be poured in. When about 7 kg of salt crystals were precipitated, Visha's body seemed to be saturated and no longer actively absorbed salt. She became radiant again and tried to play with Agent Phoenix outside the fish tank. D-class personnel Rusalka applied for the third time to lick Visha's fin-shaped arm to taste the saltiness, but was shot dead on the spot by the accompanying Agent Phoenix, and the body was dragged back to the room for disposal.

Experimental conclusion: After being deprived of salt, sea creatures will gradually become weak. The specific period may be prolonged with the change of strength, but the amount of salt intake is very large, which leads to the phenomenon of "it is difficult to go ashore without sea water" and "the army is unable to advance and continue".

Rusalka: (I understand. To sum up, the sea creatures are indeed difficult to deal with in the sea.)

Sanita: (Why don't you say that if humans fought inland, they would definitely be stronger than the sea tribe's army? Isn't that pure nonsense? By the way, call Hydra tonight and let's go to the entertainment room.)

Rusalka: (Oh, then you have to be careful. I've already developed a super fast attack strategy.)

Sani Tower: (Still playing? Meeting!)

Rushaka felt bored as she let Phoenix manipulate her.

It's late at night and it's the time when the cat and the two of them are active.
