It was apparent that Miss Tyre was not very happy about the fact that she had swam in the opposite direction...
Through their conversation, Gawain finally understood how this deep-sea creature managed to sneak onto the human continent.
According to the other party, the Sirens had fought a war with a group of humans about a month ago, and the war had taken place in the Eastern Endless Sea, far away from the mainland. It was "a group of crazy humans wearing black robes and short robes, and they could use strange spells". The battle did not last long. Although the humans were powerful in spells, they were isolated and helpless on the island, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. The Sirens jointly summoned two lightning storms and several tsunamis to break through their fortifications, and the humans fled in panic.
Miss Tyr lost contact with the rest of the team in the second half of the battle. The spells used by the humans may have interfered with her judgment (so she said), causing her to lose her sense of direction. Originally, she was swimming towards the territory of the sirens, but as she swam, she ended up on the human continent.
"At first, I was wondering why the scene on the seabed was getting more and more unfamiliar." Miss Tyre sat on the edge of the well, her fishtail slapping the ground from time to time. Gwen was curious about the structure of her fishtail that could bend to such an extent. "As I swam, I saw the mainland and the mouth of a big river... I thought we had gone around to the back of our continent."
"Your continent?" Gwen was stunned. "Do you have a continent there?"
"Yes." Tyre nodded. "But you can say it's a bigger island... I'm not familiar with the situation on the land. We spend most of our time in the sea."
Another useful piece of information!
This siren lady was definitely a godsend. Gwen felt that his understanding of the world would be greatly improved with Tyre's addition. He could not help but continue to ask curiously. "Do you know the origin of the humans who were fighting with you?"
"How would I know? They suddenly came to our territory and occupied an island to hold some kind of ritual. That's a dangerous area. There's a strong and unstable energy field at the bottom of the sea. They would most likely get into trouble if they messed around. So we sent people to remind them not to mess around. But the humans did not say a word and rushed over while shouting something like 'a storm is coming'. We beat them up..." Tyre said as she tilted her head, seemingly unable to understand the logic of human beings. "We don't have much contact with humans, but it was the first time we saw such crazy guys..."
"It's the Storm Children!" Pitman immediately guessed the identity of the humans from Tyre's description. "That's right... Other than the Storm Children, who else would appear in the sea so far away from the land? Those lunatics left the human domain after they fell. Eighty to ninety percent of them went to the sea. "
As he spoke, the little old man could not help but stroke his beard. "Who would have thought, who would have thought... those guys not only went to the distant sea, but also fought with the sirens in the sea..."
Heti also looked at Tyre. "So, you were trying to warn those lunatic humans not to take risks, but they did not listen to you and started fighting?"
Probably because he had already said a lot, Tyre's laziness was still there, but he also began to answer other people's questions. "Yes, otherwise who would have nothing better to do than to fight with you humans? We are very busy every day okay?"
"Do you know what the humans were doing with the ritual?" Gwen frowned and asked another question.
"I don't understand, I don't understand. You humans' spell system is too strange. I don't understand it at all."
Gwen sighed and thought that it could not be helped. There was almost no exchange of knowledge between the two races. It was really difficult for a siren to explain what she saw the cultists doing.
Rebecca, on the other hand, was curious about Tyr sleeping in the well. "Have you been hiding in our well all this time?"
"Not all the time, I just got here not long ago." Tyre yawned. "I was tired after swimming for so long. Then I found a place where the water flow was relatively smooth and decided to take a nap... Who knew that someone would hit my head in the middle of my nap. Speaking of which, who hit me with a bucket? "
Gwen was speechless.
Didn't they say that fish only have seven seconds of memory? Why did this siren still remember this?
"You don't have to care who hit you with a bucket." Gwen's mouth twitched. "Who knew that someone would sleep in a well..."
Tyre looked at Gwen curiously. "Is it illegal to sleep in a well in your human world?"
Gawain was stunned for a moment. He felt that this question had touched a blind spot in his knowledge. After thinking carefully for a long time, he hesitantly explained, "It's not illegal to sleep in the well here, but it's considered suicide …"
Tyre stretched his body and his tail slapped the ground. "Then I'll go sleep somewhere else."
"Hey, wait a minute." Gwen suddenly reacted. "Are you going to run around in the human world?"
Tyr was startled. He seemed to have just noticed that he was different from the people around him, as well as the curious gazes of the soldiers blocking the scene in the distance. The mermaid said, "Oh … I forgot that you don't look like this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gwen saw a mist spread out in front of him. When the mist reformed into a human shape, the mermaid sitting on the edge of the well had changed her appearance. The scales on her cheeks and arms had disappeared, and her fishtail had turned into a pair of human legs. Even the leather clothes on her body had turned into a light blue dress!
The dress was very similar to the one Heti wore, but the color was different. There was no doubt that this was a product of some kind of magic or talent after she saw how humans dressed.
Gwen looked at the scene in amazement. He could not help but think of the legend of the sirens that Pitman had told him before. This race had the ability to change their appearance, and when they were in human society, they could change into human appearance. That was why the legend of the sirens living on land was left in the world...
Heti, Amber and the rest who were watching by the side also saw such a magical and convenient "spell" for the first time. It was much more convenient than the "shapeshifting" of human mages or Druil's "animal transformation". Rebecca could not help but exclaim. "Wow! That's awesome! "
Then, her mind started to wander. "If I learn this, won't I have countless new clothes to wear?"
Amber looked at the silly roe deer in disdain. "Don't be ridiculous. You can't even learn a repulsion trick... Using a wand to hit people is against the rules, I tell you!"
Gwen blocked the two noisy girls and looked at Tyre, who was about to stand up and walk upright. "The shapeshifting spell is good, but I suggest you don't walk around before you get used to the environment on land. If possible, would you like to be a guest of Cecil?"
Tyre was familiarizing himself with the feeling of walking upright as he looked at Gwen. "... Is this a more subtle way of 'capturing'?"
"No, I'm doing it out of kindness," Gwen said seriously. "You know, I've been in contact with the sirens 700 years ago. More or less, I'm an old acquaintance of your race, right? You helped me at sea, and now there's a siren on land. Of course, I have to help you back. I don't know what the siren's society is like, but the human world is very complicated. There are a lot of countries with different customs and cultures, and countless forces and races with different ideas. I'm not sure what kind of attitude the humans in other lands have towards a siren. Especially when you're not used to human society, you'll easily be viewed as their enemy. "
Tyre thought for a moment and said, "Well... what you said makes sense."
"I'm the lord of this land. At least in the territory of Cecil, I can guarantee your safety. I can also keep your race and your origin a secret," Gwen said with a smile. "Of course, this is just an invitation. If you really don't want to, you can leave at any time. Just remember not to sleep in the well in the future."
"Ah, it's more troublesome to walk on land." Tyre took two steps forward. She did not seem to hear Gwen's last few words at all. She just waved her hand lazily and said, "Anyway, I'm not going to leave. I'll stay here. By the way, do you have a place to sleep here? "
Although it seemed a little difficult to communicate with the fish, it seemed that he had achieved his goal.
The siren had mastered new knowledge that Gwen did not know. He wanted her to stay in his territory no matter what. As long as she was willing to stay, providing a comfortable living environment was not a problem. Gwen immediately laughed and said, "Of course, there's a place to sleep. Just tell me what you want."
"Not too much. Just sprinkle some salt." Tyre waved her hand and said, "I don't need you to change the water. I can purify it myself."
Gwen was stunned for a long time before he realized that she wanted a saltwater pit. Of course, a fish tank or a water basin would do, as long as it was big enough.
Although Gwen believed that his authority could ensure that his words were thoroughly implemented in his territory, it was hard to say how much his authority would affect this saltwater fish. To prevent Tyre from doing something that was not in line with human values when no one was looking (such as suddenly summoning a fish tail and fighting with a fisherman), he decided to first arrange for her to stay in the newly built liege's residence.
Although he did not build a huge castle like those extravagant traditional nobles, the newly built liege's residence was still a large building with a large number of empty rooms that had not yet been used. It was not a problem to set aside a room for the siren.
