There were all kinds of strange creatures in the world, and several of them could charm people with their singing.
Coincidentally, both mermaids and sirens had this ability, and they both lived in the sea. Therefore, there were some people who only knew a little about it who compared the two and even mixed them up.
Of course, the sirens had no opinion on this matter. They only cared about eating people, and as for what people thought — would you care about what the bread thought when you ate it?
But the mermaids had a problem, a big problem!
"Eating meat?! This is slander against us! "
Well, what they cared about was not whether they ate people or not, but their dignity as vegetarians.
Among the sea creatures, mermaids were a small number of vegetarian species. Perhaps there were one or two freaks who challenged all kinds of meat, but the vast majority of mermaids were vegetarians. They were keen to study the flavors of various kinds of seaweed, which gave rise to the famous "Seaweed Platter" food and beverage genre. Because of the difference in living environment, this food and beverage genre only spread among aquatic species, and human beings rarely dabbled in it.
Sui Xiong had only learned about the existence of this school of food and drink from Javier, who specialized in eating, drinking, and playing. He was very surprised about this — he had thought that mermaids would at least eat fish and prawns.
Leaving aside the problem of diet, there were actually some differences between the singing of mermaids and the singing of sirens.
The singing of sirens was lingering and full of provocation, which made people's blood boil, especially young men. Except for a few strong-willed people, almost no one could resist this temptation.
Whenever sailors in the ocean heard their singing, few people could resist the temptation. Often, the whole ship of people would jump into the water with red eyes, gasping for breath, and swim in the direction of the singing.
As a result, of course, they would send themselves to the door.
Singing was a means of hunting for the sirens. Those who were enchanted by the singing would become their food, whether they were human beings or other creatures.
The singing of mermaids was ethereal and distant, which made people's mind fly and fall into a kind of daze that was half asleep and half awake. When they woke up, they often felt physically tired, but their spirits were very bright.
This was because the mermaid's song was essentially a spell unique to their race. This spell could adjust one's spirit. Although the price was that it consumed a lot of physical strength and made the body tired, there was no other side effect besides that, and physical fatigue was easy to recover from.
Therefore, powerful Mages often flew to the deep sea and used magic tools to record the mermaids' songs, using them as tools to relax and recover during spell research. This kind of thing was very rare, and the price was also quite expensive.
Today, at least tens of thousands of people were listening to the mermaid's song. Even looking at the long history, this was something that rarely happened.
There were also many people in the square who were particularly strong-willed or wearing items that could resist the charm. The mermaid's singing could not intoxicate them. But this matter itself puzzled them.
These people were experienced and knowledgeable, so they could naturally distinguish the songs of mermaids and sirens. But even the most knowledgeable among them had never heard of mermaids coming ashore to sing …
Not only were the mermaids unyielding, but they also had many experts. Even the monarch of a country or a Legendary Master would not secretly catch a mermaid to sing for them. However, some people were so addicted to the ethereal voice that they moved to the deep sea.
Mermaids came ashore to sing. This kind of thing seemed to have only happened in legends. And those who were involved in this kind of thing were all heroes who had left a strong mark in the history books.
For a moment, many pairs of eyes were looking at Ray. Even some of those who had wanted to watch the fun with malice could not help but correct their attitudes. Some were in awe, and some were filled with murderous intent.
Everyone understood that in the whole of Gars City, if there was anyone who was qualified to be a famous hero in the history books, it was definitely this handsome knight!
Of course, the chief priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest was not enchanted by the mermaid's singing, but his face suddenly became gloomy.
Everything was going well, and the vase city master was about to be unable to bear the pressure and give in. Why did mermaids jump out!
What was more troublesome was that when the mermaid's singing sounded, everyone was intoxicated by the singing. When the singing was over, people were tired, so the celebration naturally came to an end. Naturally, there was no need to talk about praying.
He had no doubt that Ray would not seize this opportunity. The city master was a vase, but this archon was not. If Ray did not seize such a good opportunity, he would not be the watchdog of Gars!
The watchdog of Gars was the nickname given to him by those who hated Ray in private. It meant that he was as loyal as a dog, guarding the door, and no one could sneak away from Gars.
Originally, everyone thought that this city, where all the masters were dead and the order was in chaos, would become a place where adventurers took unorthodox ways to make ill-gotten gains. Many "dynamic social organizations" had sent people to seize the territory and divide the benefits. As a result, these guys who wanted to take the unorthodox ways either fled in panic or died under Ray's sword.
The chief priest originally had such an idea. Fortunately, he was lucky. When he came, he happened to see Ray chasing a group of believers of the God of Fear. To put it bluntly, they were a group of thugs and villains. At that time, Ray was furious. He rode a flying dragon and chased them for nearly a hundred miles. He killed all the villains, including two high-level masters, one by one, and brought their corpses back to show the public.
The chief priest was very scared. As soon as he entered the city, he inquired about it. He knew that the crime of that group of people was to force the residents to borrow usury, and then plunder the wealth with the terrible interest.
After confirming the news, he was silent for a long time. Finally, he gave up all the original plans and honestly became a clergyman who lived in seclusion.
Even this little thing, which was not worth mentioning in his opinion, had caused a big fight, and even a large number of believers of the God of Fear had died. This knight, who called himself "Ray", was not easy to deal with. It was better not to bump into his sword!
After that blow, he had been discouraged. He summoned up his courage again under the persuasion of his friend …
The result was like this.
"Man proposes, but God disposes … Maybe this is the arrangement of fate …" The chief priest sighed deeply. He bowed his head to apologize to Ray, who was still standing between him and Kasali with a stern look. Then he retreated dispiritedly.
Ray breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed a big difficulty.
After today, Kasali and the Church of the Goddess of Harvest had officially turned against each other. And this test had failed, so the Church of the Goddess of Harvest would have to be quiet for a long time. However … time was now on their side. The longer they delayed, the weaker the influence of the Goddess of Harvest in Gars City would be. Maybe next time, they would not need to rely on the help of His Majesty the Void Mask, and they could rely on their own strength to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, your power is really unfathomable!" He sincerely praised. "I can't believe that even the nobles of the deep sea are under your command!"
Sui Xiong chuckled and silently admitted to it.
Well, it seemed to be right when he thought about it carefully. The mermaids came to congratulate him because of him, so of course, this matter could be attributed to him …
After a while, the singing stopped. A mermaid girl in formal clothes came down to the square under the escort of several strong men with obvious characteristics of aquatic animals. She gave gifts to the revived Gars City.
"Mr. Consul, you are the representative of His Majesty in the human world, and His Majesty is the guide of our Majesty. I know that you are working hard to promote the revival of Gars City. On behalf of the people of the Storm Sea, I wish you success in your cause. "
Ray nodded with a smile and personally accepted the gifts.
The gifts were not very precious, but the meaning they represented was not trivial.
The forces in the distant sea were ruled by the Sea Kings, and each of the Sea Kings had their own names. The Storm Sea referred to the distant sea in the east. Roughly, from the Dead Meteorite Desert to the Kingdom of the Blue Moon, the corresponding sea areas were all within the scope of the Storm Sea.
This mermaid came to congratulate him as the official representative of the Storm Sea, which undoubtedly meant the goodwill and support of the Sea King. With the support of this strong demigod who had lived from ancient times to the present, the revival of Gars City was really just around the corner!
Not to mention other things, just the safe sea trade alone was a huge economic growth point!
But before the mermaid finished her words, after Ray accepted the gifts, she said, "His Majesty is unifying all the people of the sea, and soon his forces will develop to the offshore sea. In order to strengthen our cooperation, I hope to establish an embassy in Gars City to facilitate the exchange of information. Of course, if you don't mind, I also hope to establish another business house, so that we can exchange what we need. "
Ray smiled reservedly and nodded, casually agreeing to this matter, appearing as if it was nothing special. But the businessmen who knew the business next to him were already so excited that they opened their eyes wide and gasped. If it were not for the occasion, they would have already cheered.
Official diplomacy!
Business house!
My God! The former meant that Gars City was qualified to communicate with the dignified Storm Sea on an equal footing, and the latter meant incredible profits!
Combined with the two … combined with the two …
"Maybe … Gars City will not only revive, but also go further!" After the celebration, a loyal official from the side branch of the Riley Family said excitedly to Casali, "The wish of our Riley Family, the cause that the old castellan could not complete, will be realized in your hands!"
Casali was at a loss and did not understand what he was excited about. "Of course, it is good to have a higher status and more money. But wasn't it like this before? "
The official excitedly explained to her, "No matter how prosperous and powerful Gars City is, it is only a subordinate of the Kingdom of the Blue Moon after all. But now, as long as we can get the support of the Storm Sea, we can break away from the Kingdom of the Blue Moon and become an autonomous territory! "
"What's the benefit of that?" Casali asked.
The official was silent for a long time, and helplessly sighed.
Her Young Miss was really useless. Perhaps … she could only place her hopes on the next City Lord.
Well, the knight was very perfect, and the next mayor only needed to inherit half of his talent, and it would be enough to settle down.
So he immediately felt relieved. With a vision for the future and absolute confidence in his lady's beauty, he enthusiastically threw himself into the work …
