Chapter 420 Wu Ling and Halbeth
"Nipper?"
Ronald's immediate reaction was that the siren was not speaking human language, so his ability to understand language was not effective.
But soon, he realized that the siren's eyes were locked behind him.
This thing is looking at something behind it.
That’s why I have the current reaction!
Through Claudia's spell, Ronald knew that all his companions were not around now. If something appeared, it would most likely be the enemy.
Turning away to avoid it, Ronald snapped his fingers.
Almost completely synchronized with his movements, the fragments of the palm elm tree that had just crashed into the ground were controlled by the ability of [Arch Angel] and shot out instantly like bullets towards Ronald's back.
Buzz -
The next second, dense bursts of wood and weird sounds sounded from behind Ronald.
Another woman continued to appear and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Human, are you planning to invade our territory!" "
..."
At this moment, Ronald turned around and saw what appeared behind him.
This is a beautiful human girl with a beautiful upper body and a fish tail-like lower body... a mermaid?
Ronald is not a fan of dark fairy tales.
So when he saw the mermaid who looked like the daughter of the sea appearing in front of him, he did not choose to attack immediately, but just showed a defensive posture.
"This siren is singing in front of me. Can't I do it?"
Ronald's question was a double test.
In addition to asking about the attitude of the 'mermaid' in front of him, he also called out the race of the sirens to confirm the true identity of these non-human creatures. Now that the "Divine Comedy" can only be used to detect emotions on humans, it has lost its effect, so it can only use some snacks in dialogue.
When Ronald asked confidently, the 'Mermaid' showed a subtle expression on her face.
"Singing..."
"In this case, Miao Sili is to blame. But human beings, you should also remember one thing, don't just rely on your own ability to take action. There are never a few wizards buried in the sea." Frowning
. After saying this, the mermaid stopped looking at the Siren who was almost dead and swam toward the sea with her tail swaying, as if she didn't want to deal with him anymore.
Able to communicate openly, and the relationship is not completely hostile.
Facing such an 'insider', Ronald was not going to let her leave like this.
Seeing the mermaid's tail touching the water, Ronald immediately said:
"Wait, do you know the current situation of Kraken? It attacked our ship before, and many of my companions are missing!" "...
"
and As expected, the mermaid stopped.
Because of the question Ronald asked, she chose to turn around and answer the question.
"The emergence of Kraken is as invisible as a natural disaster such as undersea turbulence. What's the use of asking me about this kind of thing? If you can survive it, you can be satisfied with your luck." "
... ..."
If the ace investigator hadn't done something wrong.
Perhaps during this time, the creatures in the nearby sea have already eaten the electric grilled octopus.
Silently complaining in his heart, Ronald never forgot to change the focus of the conversation.
"What about this typhoon?"
"Is the appearance of Kraken related to this typhoon?"
After two conversations, Ronald initially understood the habits of this mermaid.
Since you can answer your own questions in this way, you can continue the conversation without annoying the other party.
"Human, you have so many problems." The mermaid frowned upon hearing the new question. However, just as Ronald expected, she did not leave directly. Instead, she complained and continued, "I know what you are thinking, but this typhoon has nothing to do with me, so you better not rely on it."
"..."
The typhoon has nothing to do with her...
The mermaid's words reveal a key point. She has more information about this abnormal typhoon. At least it is different from the situation where Ronald and others are still in the exploratory stage. .
Immediately, Ronald asked in the communication spell constructed by Claudia:
"Everyone, have you ever heard of a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish?"
"Unheard of."
"There is no such thing in the records of our school. I have mentioned this kind of creature."
"It has the head of a human and the body of a bird, and it is half human and half fish... I heard that a certain school in the east of Greed is doing biosynthesis experiments. Could it be that they are responsible for this matter? "
..."
Listening to the discussion in the communication, Ronald also confirmed the situation.
"Everyone, what I encountered here may be a summoned object, or something that appeared due to the interference of the original code. The situation is still under control. Everyone continues their work. I will continue to inform you if there is news." "Ronald
, Please—"
After ending the communication spell, Ronald adjusted his collar and prepared to negotiate with the mermaid in front of him in a very serious manner.
As a result, before he could speak, the mermaid standing on the beach said first:
"Human, are you planning to end this typhoon?"
"..."
"This is exactly what I hope."
After a brief question and answer. , Ronald and the mermaid fell into a delicate silence.
The wind and rain brought by the typhoon rolled up between the two of them.
On one side is Ronald, who is protected by the original code, so he is standing within an absolutely safe range; on the other side is the mermaid standing on the edge of the coastline, with waves hitting the fish's tail from time to time, as if she will disappear into the water in the next second.
The silence that persisted in the storm lasted for nearly a minute.
The mermaid seemed to confirm something through her eyes, and then sighed resignedly.
"Okay... to be honest, I don't really want to stay in this completely unfamiliar environment. There isn't even the faintest mana in the air. But humans, I have to remind you that ending this typhoon is inevitable. It's a very difficult thing, and I can't guarantee that you can leave alive."
After his previous experience, Ronald knew that the mermaid could just walk away, and she had nothing to covet about him.
Make this choice without unnecessary interference.
I'm afraid this is also the other party's true request at this moment.
So, Ronald nodded affirmatively:
"Danger and difficulty are not problems. I am quite confident in my own strength." "
..."
"Hmph, don't blame me for not persuading you."
After hearing Ronald's answer, the mermaid stared at him for a long time before snorting and stiffly agreeing.
Then she twisted the fish tail, turned around and swam into the sea and asked at the same time:
"Then human being, tell me your name."
Ronald thought for a moment, and then said a somewhat interesting code name:
"I am Wu Ling Man, just call me Wu Ling."
"Also, what should I call you?"
"..."
"Helbeth."
[My friend kept me updated on my feelings until four in the morning, and I almost fainted... …]
[Also, thank you skywalkery for the reward! 】
