Needless to say, Sihwa must have finally understood 52 Hertz's words and said something to it and the minke whales to avoid an unnecessary fight.
Her voice lasted for a few minutes, and Zhang Zian could only hear it after it was modulated by the pickup device.
52 Hertz was still excited, but its anxiety had disappeared. It seemed to understand that it could not get an answer from Zhang Zian and the small boat. They were not of the same kind.
As for the minke whales, they were probably persuaded by Sihwa not to fight. The minke whales were originally gentle animals. After being persuaded by her, they slowly dispersed. Only a small part of them stayed, and the sound from the pickup device also became calmer.
Zhang Zian saw the mother and son minke whales again. They did not leave, but carefully approached his small boat. They comfortably and comfortably rolled their bodies on the surface of the sea.
As for the male whale, it also stayed. Of course, it still wanted to keep its title as the chief escort whale!
It attracted a lot of minke whales, including both males and females. The males that stayed were obviously also coveting its target, and they circled around the mother and son minke whales from afar.
The external conflict had been resolved, and the next step was the internal conflict of the people.
A courtship battle between the males was inevitable.
Zhang Zian had no sympathy for these male whales who were obsessed with Zerg X, who were eager to get rid of their single dog status, and who were even willing to fight for it. Let them fight each other!
Seeing that the situation had eased, he asked through the phone, "Sihwa, what did you say to them just now?"
"I just told the side with more numbers not to fight, and told them that the big whale was not a bad guy." Sihwa wiped her sweat in the bathtub. The critical moment just now had made her very nervous, and she was sweating, which was rare. Now, her body was soft, and she felt like she was about to collapse.
"Then 52 Hertz, I told it that although it doesn't have its own kind for the time being, I can understand its words … Do you know? What it actually wants the most is not its own kind, but people who can understand it, or other whales. "She added," Do you understand what I mean? "
Zhang Zian seemed to have realized something. Their previous estimations had been a little off. They had always thought that 52 Hertz wanted to find its own kind and get rid of its lonely state, but that was not very accurate.
Many kinds of whales liked to be alone, and they would only travel with their spouses or children during mating or breeding seasons. So, for 52 Hertz, although it was regrettable that it couldn't find its own kind, it wasn't the most regretful thing. The most regretful thing was that it didn't have a friend that understood it — no creature could understand its voice, and no creature could communicate with it.
Minke whales were also used to being alone, but were they lonely? No, they can communicate with others of their kind at any time.
It was not a big deal to be single, and it did not matter if one did not have a spouse. Whether it was humans or the natural world, there were plenty of single dogs. But if one did not even have friends, enemies, or even someone to communicate with, it would be terrible. Even a fat otaku who never left his house would have a few friends on the Internet, or a keyboard warrior who dominated a forum, drowning all opponents who disagreed with him with his saliva and endless time.
In the simplest words, you can be lonely, but you can't be alone.
You can be alone, but you can't be left alone. That was the difference between being alone and being alone.
52 Hertz was the loneliest whale in the world, but it was not the loneliest. There were many lonely whales.
After Sihwa finished speaking, she was silent on the other side of the phone. No one knew what she was waiting for, but her long breaths could be heard clearly.
Zhang Zian cleared his throat and said, "Sihwa, thank you."
"Why … Why are you suddenly thanking me?" On the other side of the phone, she suddenly became flustered, and her face was as red as a cooked shrimp.
"Because you helped me, and you also helped 52 Hertz. You stopped a fierce battle between it and the minke whales. If it wasn't for you, I don't know how many whales would have died today," he said solemnly. "You did something amazing."
"It's nothing … It's just a small matter …" She was not used to being praised. She twisted her body in the bathtub, feeling more and more embarrassed.
"No, it's not a small matter. It's a very important matter, so I want to thank you on behalf of myself, 52 Hertz, and the minke whales," he said. "Also, I want to tell you one more thing."
"What is it? Why are you so long-winded? Can't you just say it when you come back? What a waste of my phone bill … "She muttered.
"Sihwa, I want to tell you that although there are no other mermaids to accompany you for the time being, and although you are trapped in the bathtub and can't go out, Fina, Old Time Tea, Pi, Famous, and the other elfins, including me, all of us can understand you. Your thoughts are free, and that is more important than anything else. You may be lonely, but you are not lonely."
"Really … Really?" Sihwa asked, stuttering.
"Really, so you don't need to continue fantasizing about the long-legged oppa that doesn't exist. We all know that you are a kind-hearted child. You don't need to escape into fairytale-like fantasies, you don't need to entrust your own value to others, and you don't need to be envious of human legs, because you are you, the unique little mermaid. There are many things in this world that only you can do. You have already let 52 Hertz, the minke whales, and I see your bloom. In the future, you will definitely be able to bring joy and happiness to more people! "
After a long silence, Sihwa suddenly burst into tears.
"Thank you … Thank you all …"
Zhang Zian was too embarrassed to say these things, but Sihwa's growth and hard work were in his eyes. She deserved to accept these praises. After all, only by praising the child often and building confidence for the child would the child grow up psychologically healthy.
"Well, then I won't waste your phone bill. See you at home!" he said, then hung up the phone and turned off the screen.
However, the screen automatically lit up again.
[Navigation Elf]: Congratulations! Your mermaid's affection level has been raised to friendly. Unlocking real name!
[Game Tips]: Pet Attributes
[Known As]: Mermaid
[Rarity]: Epic/Legendary
[Characteristics]: Unwilling to become a dragon with its tail burned, it came to the world to be a deity. Causing all the scales to think of each other and come to sleep with its companion!
[Unlocked History]:
The legend of mermaids had existed since ancient times, but they mostly appeared in front of the world as evil sirens, using their beauty and voices to charm all living things.
In these legends, the common image of mermaids was that they were extremely beautiful, and their voices were so soft that it was irresistible. Even the famous Greek hero Odysseus had to put candles in his ears and tie himself to the mast in order to resist the singing of the mermaids. Only then could he avoid being bewitched and steer the ship towards the reef.
In the teachings of the Middle Ages, mermaids were like the snakes in the Garden of Eden, a symbol that tempted people to fall.
Ever since Andersen wrote the immortal "Daughter of the Sea," he had single-handedly reversed people's inherent image of mermaids.
Under Andersen's pen, the little mermaid had a beautiful appearance, a beautiful voice, and a perfect appearance. However, she couldn't get what she wanted from the person she loved. In the end, she completed the sublimation of her soul in a relieved manner. The tear-jerking story and the little mermaid's infatuation moved countless girls. Since then, it had become popular in the world, and almost no one remembered the evil sirens anymore.
Andersen admitted that "Daughter of the Sea" was the only fairy tale that he had written that even moved him.
Later, not long after that, another great writer and artist, Wilde, further perfected the image of the mermaid with "The Fisherman and His Soul," and gave the mermaid the ability to sing to attract fish. However, compared to "Daughter of the Sea," Wilde's fairy tale was slightly inferior.
The two immortal fairy tales of the two great writers made the story of the mermaid known to everyone, and it was indispensable reading material for countless girls in their childhood.
Under the blessing of a huge amount of faith, the little mermaid became an elf of the world.
[Unlocked True Name]: Andersen & Wilde's Ultimate Fantasy!
Zhang Zian silently read the flashing words on the screen, then turned off the screen again. He took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and his mood became more relaxed.
The mother and child minke whales were playing next to the assault boat, and a few male minke whales were fighting in the distant sea. 52 Hertz had already left while he was staring at the screen, but he knew that it would definitely come back. There was a little mermaid here who could understand it.
The nervousness from before had made him extremely tired. He stretched and collapsed at the bottom of the boat, looking up at the sky and watching the white seabirds fly over his head. They spread their wings and soared freely in the hot air, as if they were still in the air.
A question that had been bothering him for a long time had finally been answered. Why did Sihwa's image not completely match the image in Andersen's fairy tale? Why did she have the ability to summon marine creatures? It was because she was created by Andersen, Wilde, and countless other myths and legends?
"Okay, let's go home!"
He waved goodbye to the mother and child minke whales, started the motor, and drove towards the shore.
