Chapter 399 The Siren's Song, the Impostor Mermaid Princess
"My lord, our tribe has arrived."

As the mermaid captain stopped, Li Guanqi officially arrived at his destination.

He looked away.

What appeared in front of him was a vast seabed town, with all kinds of grotesque and indescribably strange buildings, the outer walls were decorated with colorful shells, and many strange types of algae and aquatic plants swayed slightly on the side of the road. , adding a bit of character to this underwater town.

This is a small seabed town, and it can accommodate no more than 800 mermaids.

There is nothing imaginable, meeting a mermaid at the bottom of the sea, and then encountering an extremely beautiful and magnificent underwater kingdom.

Because this is not the royal territory of the Mermaid Clan.

This is just a small mermaid tribe, and the patriarch is only at the Five Elements level.

After all, the capital of the Daluo Dynasty must be luxurious, but a small village in a certain valley must also look poor.

"what is that?"

"Why did his tail become two?"

"it's wired."

"It's a deformed mermaid, he's a priest!"

"..."

At this time, seeing Li Guanqi approaching, many little mermaids from Ellie's tribe also swam out, pointing at Li Guanqi, and constantly commenting in amazement.

But these are only half-grown dolls after all.

The knowledgeable adult fish knew that they were human beings, and quickly thought of the recent request from the patriarch. They all quickly covered their children's mouths, for fear of offending the human magician.

"My lord, please don't blame me."

Captain Mermaid turned his head back, bowed his head to Li Guanqi and said, "They are still children, not sensible."

"Take me to meet your patriarch."

Li Guanqi just smiled lightly.

"Yes, this way please."

The captain of the mermaid held a trident in his hand, swung his red fish tail, and kept swimming forward. His goal was the tallest and largest underwater castle. Compared with the strange buildings around him, it was the most aesthetically pleasing house for human beings.

"Captain Zarika!"

Outside the gate of the undersea pavilion, two mermaids at the level of Liangyi looked at the captain of the mermaid and Li Guanqi, and immediately exclaimed, "You, you brought a human conjurer?! A four-level mermaid?!"

"Humph!"

The captain of the mermaid is full of arrogance, extremely proud, "It's good to know, why don't you open the door for me quickly?! You can't afford to delay the matter of the patriarch!"

"Hurry up!"

The two mermaid guards suddenly became nervous, turned around, and offered to help open the door of the underwater pavilion.

"Sir, please."

Then, in front of the two mermaids, the captain of the mermaid, who looked at people with his nostrils, turned around, and when he faced Li Guanqi, he changed his face instantly and smiled obsequiously.

It can be called a face-changing warrior.

"This is the residence of your patriarch..."

Li Guanqi swam into the underwater pavilion, came to the lobby, looked at the surrounding decorations, a little surprised, "The decorations here are very western style."

Although it is now 4871 in the New Era, it may be some kind of historical problem. The aesthetic styles of the East and the West are still very similar to those of the 21st century. People in Daluo like ink painting, while oil painting is popular in Western countries.

In the lobby and corridors of this undersea pavilion, Western oil paintings are hung on the walls, and several portraits are also filled with Western faces and Western costumes.

These portraits should have been waterproofed.

Saying.

Li Guanqi carefully looked at the mermaid captain beside him.

Although the opponent's face was covered with red fish scales, but if you looked closely, you could still see some Caucasian features from the mermaid's face.

High nose bridge, deep eye sockets, low cheekbones, flat jawbones, thin lips.

If one were to ask Li Guanqi, he would indeed be more inclined to the statement that "subhumans are a severely mutated family of heterogeneous blood".

So, in the strange world, the ancestor of the mermaid clan should be a severely mutated European and American alien blood human?

"I can't understand the paintings either."

The mermaid captain led the way, along the stairs, and continued to swim upstairs, "The patriarch traveled in the Tulip Empire back then, and these paintings were brought back from the Tulip Empire. Anyway, we can't see it..."

"and many more!"

Li Guanqi stopped behind him, looking at the mahogany stairs below, a little confused, "So, can you tell me why there are such things as 'stairs' in the place where the mermaid lives?"

Mermaids live at the bottom of the sea and move by swimming.

What mermaid needs stairs?
Do you go up and down the stairs by fish tail? !
"It was also built by the patriarch's order."

The mermaid captain seemed quite helpless, "Originally, the patriarch was fine, but since she went to the Tulip Empire 100 years ago and came back, she has become a little abnormal. What about art, let us learn Fine art and creative literature . . . alas."

As he said that, he sighed heavily again, "Actually, it was okay before, but what's worse is that since half a year ago, the patriarch has become even more abnormal, like a little girl, and I don't know what to do." Happening."

"..."

Li Guanqi was speechless.

"arrive."

At this time, after arriving at the fifth floor of the attic, which is the top floor of this underwater attic, the mermaid captain stopped outside the door of a room, bowed his head towards the red door, and said respectfully: "Master Patriarch! Your loyal warrior Zali Ka, brought you a friendly human conjurer!"

"Really?!"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed open, revealing a young and beautiful girl's face.

Li Guanqi looked at her, slightly taken aback.

I saw that this mermaid had silvery white soft long hair, and her beautiful face was white and smooth, and even faintly pink, as if it could be broken by blowing bullets. Those moist golden eyes with big vertical pupils were full of beauty. He looked at Li Guanqi curiously.

【Five Elements Level Conjurer】

"Forehead……"

Li Guanqi looked down slightly.

It seems to have seen waves more turbulent than the Eastern Ocean, and a ravine deeper than the Mariana Trench.

The two of them dangled in the water, making him a little dizzy.

Because of such a magnificent spectacle, the mermaid actually only bound them with a thin red suspender, revealing a white waist with a vest line.

The lower body is a golden fish tail with beautiful scales.

"You are a king blood mermaid?!"

Li Guanqi shook his head, forced his gaze back, and stared at this silver-haired mermaid in disbelief.

The upper body is not much different from that of a human being, with a beautiful or handsome appearance, silver-white hair, golden vertical pupils, and a fish tail with golden scales.

This is the characteristic of the mermaid royal family!
Pure blood royal family!

"Eh?"

The cute-looking mermaid was stunned, "How did you see that?"

"ah!"

She seemed to have thought of something, rushed back to the room, looked at a mirror, and then quickly rubbed her long silver hair. With the spiritual power emerging in her palm, her long hair and beautiful eyes, It also gradually turned red.

Immediately afterwards, she put her hands on her face again, as if preparing to continue changing her appearance.

"Who are you?!"

But at this moment, the mermaid captain next to Li Guanqi finally came to his senses, and exclaimed in disbelief: "You, you are not the patriarch's guest! You are trying to pretend to be the patriarch now?! Come..."

"Oh, don't shout!"

The mermaid was shocked when she heard this, and quickly swam out again, facing the captain of the mermaid, raising her hand was a memory amnesia technique.

Li Guanqi watched in horror.

Because after casting the spell, Captain Mermaid fainted directly on the ground.

Judging from this symptom, not to mention forgetting the memory just now, the poor mermaid captain has to forget all the memories of the last ten days.

"Inner, inner..."

The mermaid looked at Li Guanqi, her two small hands were shining with green light, she looked at Li Guanqi expectantly, "Hello, can I..."

"Absolutely not! Put your hands down! Put them down!"

Li Guanqi sternly refused.

Meow, with this technology, you still want to cast memory amnesia on him?

"Oh……"

The mermaid was yelled at by him, and immediately lowered her head, poking her two index fingers, like a wronged little girl, and there were even faint tears in her eyes.

Maybe it's not faint, maybe it's already crying, but it's just that the tears have mixed into the surrounding sea water as soon as they appear.

"You are not the patriarch of the Ellie tribe."

Li Guanqi looked at the mermaid, his face changed slightly, "Is she dead already?"

"Eh?!"

The mermaid was surprised and looked at him in disbelief, "You, how do you know?!"

"Oh, actually, I just said it casually and made a wild guess."

Li Guanqi shrugged, "But I didn't expect you to admit it so simply."

"what……"

The mermaid was dumbfounded, with her mouth open, speechless.

"..."

Li Guanqi glanced at the mermaid captain who was fainting on the ground, and then looked at the mermaid girl in front of him, frowning slightly.

In fact, he had two guesses at the beginning.

1. Disguise.

The patriarch of the Ellie tribe is a pure-blood royal mermaid. He may come here to experience life, or it may be for other reasons. In short, he changed his hair color and eye color, changed his appearance, and concealed his identity.

2. Replacement.

The patriarch of the Ellie tribe is dead, and this pure-blooded royal family is an impostor.

The second possibility is very small, Li Guanqi hardly thought about it at first.

Because why did the pure blood royal family replace the patriarch of the Ellie tribe?
Whose family's prince and grandson will come to replace the village head of Xiaoposhan Village?
However, this mermaid's performance is too "retarded", it feels like a little girl... Can this mermaid be the patriarch?

So Li Guanqi said casually.

Then the mermaid exposed herself directly.

"You, you come in."

At this time, the mermaid looked at the bottom of the stairs with some worry, then took Li Guanqi's arm with both hands, and dragged him into the room.

"boom."

After closing the door, the mermaid released another soundproofing spell, and then carefully looked at Li Guanqi in front of her, "You, if you don't cast the forgetting spell on me, then please, don't tell this matter to the outside world, okay? "

"How old are you this year?"

Li Guanqi didn't answer her question, instead he wandered around the room casually, and then asked such a question.

"51 is old."

The mermaid who looks like a cute girl blinked her beautiful eyes, "Why are you asking this?"

"No wonder you act like a little girl."

Li Guanqi turned his head to look at her, frowned and said, "So you are a pure blood royal family, and you just came out of the temple of the Mermaid Palace last year?"

"Eh?!"

The mermaid showed shock again, and her moist eyes were full of disbelief, "How did you know?! Why are you so powerful, you know everything!"

"..."

Li Guanqi was speechless for a moment.

The mermaid family has a sacred tradition.

Due to the special physique of the mermaid race, among them those pure-blood royals who are born with disabilities and have the talent for spells will enter the palace and temple after birth, and under the effect of a special mermaid secret method, they will practice for 50 years. sleep.

Just born, sleep it for 50 years.

Fifty years later, when this mermaid wakes up, she will have five-element level cultivation. She is already in the state of comprehending the five laws of wind, thunder, light, darkness, and gold, and her spiritual power and soul have also reached the level of five elements. the corresponding level.

It's just not in the mind.

Because they have been sleeping for 50 years since they were born, the mind of this kind of mermaid is completely the same as that of a baby.

In other words.

The cute mermaid in front of Li Guanqi is said to be 51 years old, but she just came out of the temple of the Mermaid Palace last year, which means that she has been sleeping for the past 50 years, and the real contact with the outside world is only one year.

She is actually equivalent to a 1-year-old baby.

It's just that because of the fifth-order soul, she can learn the ways of the world at a very fast speed.

But no matter what, this pure-blood royal mermaid can't become like a mature adult without 2 or 3 years of study.

Her current mentality is at most the level of a 7- or 8-year-old child.

Possibly lower.

"You can enter the temple of the Mermaid Palace to sleep..."

Li Guanqi looked at the mermaid and said seriously, "Hello, your surname is Siren, and you are the mermaid princess?"

"alright!"

The mermaid smiled happily, "That's right! My surname is Siren, and my name is Lily Siren. This name was given to me by my mother. Does it sound nice? Hehe, there used to be a lot of powerful mermaids calling me princess... …only……"

As she said that, she lowered her head in frustration, "No one calls you that anymore."

Li Guanqi didn't notice her loss at all, after hearing the mermaid's name, he fell into deep thought.

It really is a pure blood royal family, and it is a mermaid princess.

Lily Siren.

Siren is the most noble surname of the mermaid royal family, basically similar to the surname Ying of the Daluo Dynasty.

This surname is well worth exploring.

Sirens, the legendary sea monsters, are good at bewitching passing fishermen with their songs, causing ships to run aground, destroying ships and killing people.

If Li Guanqi remembers correctly, there are regional differences in the legend of the siren siren.

In some places, sirens are harpy-faced sirens.

In other places, the siren is the mermaid form in the legend.

The ancestor of the mermaid tribe gave himself a surname of "Siren".

Perhaps by digging deeper from this point, we can dig to the real origin of the ancestors of the mermaid race.

But Li Guanqi is not interested in these.

He even wanted to know why Lily, the noble mermaid princess, appeared in the remote village of the Ellie tribe?
Then it's about the unsealed item of the magic knife.

"Why are you here?"

Li Guanqi looked at this mermaid who was as intelligent as a girl but her body was so developed that she burst into disgrace, and asked the first question first.

"Forehead……"

Lily scratched her head, "That's a long story."

"It's okay. I like listening to stories the most. You can tell them slowly."

Li Guanqi walked to the side, pulled a chair over, and looked at her quietly.

"I was kicked out of the palace."

Lily pursed her lips, lowered her head, and kept picking at the fish scales on her lower body with her two white and tender hands, and said in frustration, "Half a year ago, I didn't know why, but that day, suddenly many guards rushed over and arrested me , and put him in prison.

Obviously they usually call me Princess, and they are very kind to me.

I'm obviously very good, I don't know why they suddenly became so fierce.

Then, I don't know how long it took, my mother suddenly appeared outside the prison, secretly rescued me, and asked me to follow Uncle Kaiya.

I obeyed my mother very much, so I ran with Uncle Kaia.

run and run.

I don't know how long I ran, but many mermaid guards came after me.

Uncle Kaiya tore a space rift for me, threw me into it, and told me to stay quietly. He will come to me soon.

After I came out of the space crack, I appeared in this room.

Then I saw Sister Mora lying on the bed, dying.

Oh, by the way, Sister Mora is the original patriarch of the Ellie tribe.

As soon as I shuttled over, before I could figure out what was going on, Sister Mora grabbed my hand and said her name was Mora Allie, and said that although she didn’t know who I was, she was going to die and hoped I could Take over the position of patriarch and help her continue to deter the surrounding sea beasts and protect the Ellie tribe.

After she finished speaking, she died, her soul collapsed and she died.

I was in a daze at the time.

After being dazed for a long time, a female servant came in. Seeing the dead sister Mora, she kept shouting and called many guards to come in.

At that time, I only knew the amnestic technique, so I let them forget their memories.

But it's useless.

They will always wake up, and they will shout again when they wake up, and I will perform the forgetting technique again.

Then when they woke up and shouted, woke up and shouted... After a few times, I found out that this is not the way.

Then I finally thought of a good way.

Hide Sister Mora's body and pretend to be Sister Mora so they won't shout!

It's been half a year, and they haven't found it yet.

Humph, isn't Lily very smart? "

Speaking of this, the mermaid girl raised her head proudly, with her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

"..."

Li Guanqi sat on the chair with a strange expression.

His initial thought was, "How stupid a person must be to make such a decision"?
But when you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Although Lily is 51 years old, she slept in the palace and shrine for the first 50 years, and she really only lived for one year. At most, a 1- or 7-year-old girl can make such a decision... Well, maybe I can really boast?
"But why were you kicked out of the palace?"

Li Guanqi looked at this cute mermaid in surprise, and was very puzzled, "Not every king blood mermaid can succeed in sleeping in the temple. Some mermaids wake up after falling asleep, and their cultivation is not up to the standard. 50 years, but you can't reach the five-element level, like you, a five-element-level mermaid conjurer who has slept for 50 years should be the focus of training."

"I don't know, but Mom said..."

Lily took out a shell from a space ring around her neck.

Holding the shell in both hands, she looked at Li Guanqi eagerly, "Mom said that there is a reason in this shell, but Lily can't look at it directly, and can only open it when Uncle Kaiya says that Lily is already an adult.

But I waited for Uncle Kaiya in this room for half a year, and he still hasn't come back.

Human, can you say 'Lily is a grown-up'?
This way I can open it and read it. "

Speaking of this, the mermaid girl looked at Li Guanqi with anticipation in her moist and beautiful eyes.

"No."

Li Guanqi shook his head, "You are completely a child now."

"what……"

Lily was very disappointed and dejected.

"Would you mind showing me?"

Li Guanqi suddenly asked, "If the content is appropriate, I can say this."

"Yeah!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Li's eyes lit up immediately, and she moved closer to Li Guanqi with great joy, and handed him the shell, "Look quickly!"

"..."

Li Guanqi was slightly speechless.

He suddenly felt a sense of guilt for coaxing the little girl.

Although this little girl is a mermaid nearly 30 years older than him.

But he is curious!

"Cough cough."

Li Guanqi forcibly suppressed the guilt in his heart, took the shell from Lily's hand, and opened it.

Inside, there is a folded and obviously waterproof special leather.

There are two paragraphs of English written on it, and the translation is:
——Lily, my dearest daughter, mother is sorry for you.

— Spread out this letter, if Kaia thinks you are an adult, then you have a right to the truth.
