The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. On the surface of the Fairy Lake, the beautiful Mermaid Princess leaped out of the water. Her bright fishtail reflected the sunlight, and the Princess was holding a fishing line in her hand …
Lin Xue and I were frozen like statues by the side of the lake. I was still holding onto the fishing rod tightly. It was this powerful toy made of interstellar alloy that allowed me to hook Isana without bending. Isana's gaze followed the fishing line to the fishing rod and then to my hand. She instantly let out a cry of surprise.
"Splash!"
Water splashed everywhere. It turned out that Isana herself had let go of the fishing line, and her entire person … entire fish … entire mermaid fell into the water. Some of the water splashed onto my face, which helped me recover from my stupor.
"Damn! Isana! What are you doing here! "
I threw away the fishing rod in my hand in shock. I looked at the Mermaid Princess who was floating in the water with only her small head sticking out. My expression twisted.
Alright, perhaps the person in front of me who doesn't usually appear is a little unfamiliar. Let me remind you all of her. She is one of the generals of the Salvation Army in the World of Azeroth and the leader of the Naga Tribe. In terms of appearance, she is a mermaid.
Just like most of the Azeroth military officers in the Salvation Army, Isana usually lives in the City of Shadows. Of course, it is the residential area of her tribe. The Naga Tribe's residential area is the most unique place in the City of Shadows. The Naga Tribe's district was the most unique part of the City of Shadows. It wasn't a complex of buildings, but an incomparably large saltwater lake. Isana herself had provided us with many valuable suggestions when we were building this saltwater lake. Along with the urging of a bunch of fellows in the family who wished for the world to be in chaos, we finally built the place like a marine museum. For example, there was an underwater beach, Beck, coral, sunken treasure chests, and even a ship's anchor. If it wasn't for my insistence, Lina would have stolen the wreckage of the Titanic and sunk it there. For the same reason, Qian Qian's idea of placing a Sea Stabilizing Needle in the Naga Tribe's district was also rejected by me.
Ahem, I digressed. What I wanted to say was that the mermaid Isana should be practicing synchronized swimming in the Shadow City's saltwater lake. What was she doing here?
Moreover, he was fished up by someone. Speaking of which, this scene was really full of deja vu, right? This was an adaptation of Shallow Shallow's life-ruining fairy tale!
"I thought it was Cuchulin who disturbed my sleep again." Half of Isana's head was in the water, and bubbles were coming out of her nose. "I was about to slap him in the face with my tail. So it was you guys."
Isana had been in contact with the Empire's higher-ups for a long time now. She was quite casual when she talked to us in private. She knew that none of the people in front of her were people who liked to be overly formal.
"So this isn't the first time you've been caught." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was it that I kept encountering such strange things, and there were so many strange things happening around me …
"About five or six times. Cuchulin was the one who fished the most, and the white-haired Wei Gong once. His fishing skills are terrible, but he's very patient. When I'm really annoyed by them, I'll help them catch a fish and hang it on the hook. Sometimes, when I'm in a bad mood, I'll grab the fishing line and throw it at their faces … Oh, that's what I wanted to do just now," Isana answered honestly.
Isana answered honestly. She looked us over with her large eyes and asked, "The Goddess isn't here?"
I recalled that the mermaid in front of me still couldn't forget about keeping Jingle as a pet.
I knew that Cuchulin liked to fish by the Fairy Lake, and I didn't know when Red A had become his fishing partner. The two of them were frequent visitors to the lake, and I could see them fishing here whenever they had free time. However, I really didn't expect that their fishing was related to Isana. Looking at the resentful expression on the mermaid princess' face, it was obvious that she was resentful because of her lack of sleep and the constant interruptions to her private life. That's right, you're sleeping, and someone is always hooking your hair with an iron hook. How could you not be resentful? I knew about Cuchulin's luck. He could even accidentally step on the AllSpark that the aliens had dropped on Earth and fight against the entire Cybertron. Not to mention, he "actively" came here to provoke the sleeping mermaid princess. If he were to use his fishing rod, I could guarantee that he would definitely throw it at Isana …
"Speaking of which, you still haven't told me why you came to Avalon instead of staying in your own saltwater lake in the City of Shadows. Did you even settle down here? " I asked curiously as I sat down on the big rock by the lake with Shallow Shallow and the others. Isana swam to the shore and lay on the edge of the rock, twisting her hair. "To recuperate."
"Recuperate?!" I exclaimed in shock. At the same time, I sized up the lively mermaid princess. "Did the Salvation Army go to war? An officer like you got injured? Why didn't anyone report to you?! "
"No, there's no war." Isana waved her hands and scratched her wet hair in embarrassment. "I went out to play and got into a car accident."
I was stunned. "Went out to play? A car accident? Where? "
There were traffic accidents in the City of Shadows? Wasn't this tarnishing the reputation of Empire Technology?
Isana became even more embarrassed. "It wasn't the City of Shadows. I snuck out. Of course, I remembered the citizen's regulations. I had my invisibility activated, but I still rear-ended someone 600 meters underwater in the South Pacific Ocean …"
My expression instantly froze. "With who?"
"With a nuclear submarine …"
Everyone was speechless.
"Then, you came here to recuperate." Lin Xue looked at Isana with admiration. "Why didn't you go to the Holy Church of Life? In that place, as long as you don't die, any gatekeeper would be able to revive you, right? "
"The water here is good," Isana finally told the truth. "And the fish are dumb. Other than the annoying fishing, everything else is more comfortable than the City of Shadows. So, I … temporarily stayed here."
In the end, Isana came here because the water at the Fairy Lake of Avalon was good and the environment was elegant. She used the excuse of recuperating from her injuries to stay here. Of course, this was understandable. After all, this was the capital of the Empire. Even the City of Shadows, which was known as the "Holy Capital," could not compare to Avalon in terms of environment. Isana was also a Naga (of course, considering her visual habits, I always called her a mermaid) race that was very sensitive to water environments. Naturally, she wanted to stay here. But how to put it, anyone could stay in Avalon. Even the lower-ranking commanders of the Revenge Army could stay here temporarily. Only someone like Isana could not. She was a high-ranking general of the Salvation Army and a cadre of the Army Command. She had to abide by relatively strict military regulations, and these regulations clearly stated that the cadre of the Army Command could not leave the base at will. She could only come here in the name of recuperating from her injuries.
Even I wouldn't be able to fool this little scheme of his. Of course, he wouldn't be able to fool those old foxes from the military headquarters. But now, it would seem that the military headquarters also turned a blind eye to this mermaid. Everyone was probably already used to this type of weirdo who almost captured the Goddess as a pet on their first meeting.
As for the so-called rear-end accident, Isana explained it in a few words. In fact, it was because of her erratic personality. I think everyone remembered that during the first meeting of the leaders of the various races in Azeroth, she almost threw herself at Jingle in front of the leaders and the "Oracles." That kind of boldness was not something that could be done by the average person.
And a few days ago, this lawless mermaid princess challenged the rules of the Empire by going to the surface world for an afternoon.
Isana said that she wanted to experience the beautiful scenery of the South Pacific and taste the saltiness of the water on Earth. I am very sorry about the second reason.
The result of this trip was very tragic. She had a terrible collision with a nuclear submarine of a certain country. Although a high-ranking officer of the Salvation Army had a good physique, she still couldn't be compared to a soldier of the Empire. So, she was knocked unconscious on the spot and lost a lot of scales. She was also ordered to write a three-thousand-word self-examination report. As for the nuclear submarine, there shouldn't be any major problems. There didn't seem to be any reports of a deep-sea nuclear leak in the news these two days …
Isana honestly told us about her unfortunate experience. Then, she suddenly jumped out of the water and put her tail in front of us. "Look, this is where the submarine's oars scratched me. I lost three scales. Then, the submarine urgently floated up. I was urgently teleported back to the Shadow City."
I looked at the fish tail in front of me and noticed that it was a cute pink cross. It was extra-large, and it looked very funny against the smooth and shiny scales.
"It's a special type for underwater use." Shallow Shallow read the small words on the cross and muttered, "What a strange thing."
Isana's tail slapped on the rocks by the shore. She looked a little distressed and said, "I bought this from a private clinic in Dongcheng District. They said that it can maintain its stickiness underwater. The doctor also advised me to eat a light diet for the next two days and try not to let the wound see water …"
Lin Xue immediately spat. Then, she looked into Isana's eyes seriously and said, "When we get back, press the doctor and give him 120 slaps. Don't hold back!"
"Why?"
"Try not to let a fish's wound see water!" Lin Xue complained with a stomachache.
Everyone was speechless.
Since Isana had temporarily become a resident of Fairy Lake, our fishing plan had to be put on hold. However, we still had grilled fish to eat. Isana showed us how a mermaid lived in nature. She used her tail to slap and slap the fish until they fainted. In the end, we were knocked unconscious by a small mountain of fish.
"Eat these as you like. They appeared in the lake recently. They taste pretty good," the mermaid princess said cheerfully.
"How can I accept this?" I rubbed my hands and looked at the fish that Isana had slapped to death. As expected of a product of Fairy Lake. I couldn't even recognize a single one of them!
"What's wrong with that?" The mermaid princess swung her tail and stirred up a wave. She looked indignant. "These guys don't respect the nagas at all. Not only did they form a group to watch a newcomer, they even buried my face with sand. I have to wear a diving mask to sleep for the next two days. Do you think there are nagas who sleep with a diving mask? This is a good opportunity. You guys can help me eat some. Maybe they will know their place. "
After Isana complained for a while, she decided to lie down on a rock by the shore and bask in the sun. She wanted to taste the roasted fish later, and we began to discuss how to cook the delicacies produced by Avalon.
To be fair, my cooking skills were not bad. I knew a few different styles. For example, braised pork ribs, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pickled vegetables, and chili oil beef. However, if I was careless, the noodles would easily turn into paste. Shallow Shallow's cooking skills were about the same as mine. She was more inclined towards Master Kang. It was obvious that our cooking skills were worthless in front of anything other than instant noodles. Sandora was eager to try. However, after seeing the sauce she took out instantly burn a hole in the big rock in front of her, I felt that it would be better to eat it raw.
Mercury Lamp didn't need to worry about it. Her task was to wait and eat. With her small arms and legs, she didn't know how to grill. Even if she did, I reckoned that she would be able to grill herself just by flipping the fish.
"Sigh, in the end, I still have to do it."
In the end, Miss Lin said in a very satisfied tone as she flipped the fish on the grill.
I looked at Sandora to prevent her from secretly eating the sashimi. At the same time, I glanced at Lin Xue with a face full of surprise. "D * mn, how did you know how to cook? Didn't you say that you have never touched this kind of thing since you were young? "
"I can learn." Lin Xue looked at me proudly. "I just learned how to cook not long ago. The first thing I learned was barbecuing. The skill required for this is a little low. Today, you blockhead, you are really lucky to be able to taste my cooking skills."
I looked at Miss Lin in surprise. Sandora, who was beside me, once again muttered to herself dejectedly, "If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture a man's stomach …"
Lin Xue's face instantly turned red. It was very surprising. But what I wanted to say was: Sandora, you actually picked the wrong skill tree from the beginning. What you need to do is capture my stomach, not get rid of it …
This afternoon's meal was the most interesting I've had in a while. Although it didn't have Anveena's uncanny culinary skills, it didn't have a comfortable dining room, and the main dish was only Miss Lin's slightly unfamiliar grilled fish. But it gave me a kind of joy that I couldn't experience anywhere else. Picnics in a place like Fairy Lake weren't something that just anyone could do.
The happiest person during this meal was Mercury Lamp. She had never had the experience of having a picnic with her family. The novel experience made her smile for the entire afternoon. She ate until her face was the same color as the grilled fish. The one who ate the most was Shallow Shallow. She was the happiest when it came to unrestrained fun. The most unlucky one was Lin Xue …
After Shadora gobbled down the third fish along with the fork, Shadora knew that her disaster had begun.
Finally, when Lin Xue was so tired that she started to spit out her tongue, Sandora realized that she had become a disaster. She wiped her mouth and finished the last few grilled fish. Then, she walked into the depths of the forest alone. My long-cherished wish of many years had finally come true: Sandora had let herself go and learned to forage for food in the primeval forest.
I didn't dare to imagine what she ate, but the next afternoon, a heroic spirit reported to the temple that the Fairy Forest might have been attacked by a meteor …
After we finished our little camping trip in the forest, we bid farewell to the Mermaid Princess who jumped back into the lake to continue teasing Cuchulin. Then, we walked out of the forest leisurely. On the way, we bumped into Liliana and Jingle who were also wandering in the opposite direction from us. The master and servant were discussing something as they walked. They seemed to be in high spirits. When I asked them, I found out that the elder sister and the children had already returned home. After the 'blessing' ceremony, the two of them wandered around Fairy Town for a while. Then, Jingle suggested that they go to the Fairy Lake to take a look.
"Jingle gave her blessings to the two children!"
The little goddess jumped onto my shoulder the moment she saw me. She hugged my earlobe and said excitedly, "The process might not be right, but it should be a blessing."
I think everyone knows that intelligence is always the greatest enemy of the Goddess of Life. I didn't expect that Jingle didn't even remember what was written in her Bible until the end of the blessing ceremony!
Liliana grabbed my sleeve and said proudly, "But I think that today's ceremony was pretty good. This Pope is indeed a genius in religion. Even without any information to guide me, I still managed to carry out the blessing ceremony flawlessly. I first gave the two children a fortune bead each, then chanted the Diamond Sutra for them. The Goddess flew around their foreheads twice, then drew a cross on each of their faces. Finally, I used perfume to cleanse the newborns …"
Lin Xue and I rolled our eyes as we listened. In the end, when we heard that the little girl even used an antique like incense, we couldn't help but say, "You even used perfume? Are you offering sacrifices to the heavens? "
"In any case, I used everything that looked weird." Liliana clapped her hands, "Cornel, Platycodon, Sangzi, Aniseed, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic cloves, cumin. In the end, I even sprinkled half a bottle of cooking wine …"
Sandora rubbed her stomach, "Why do I feel hungry again?"
I pulled Liliana's ear and almost lifted the little girl up, "You're preparing to be cooked!"
Liliana bared her teeth and jumped around while shouting, "I really can't remember the baptism process! In the future, I'll write this recipe … Oh no, I mean, the ceremony in the new Bible! "
I felt that it wouldn't be long before this little girl expanded the recruitment of the Goddess to the New East.
"Oh right, why are you going to Fairy Lake?"
When Liliana put Jingle on her head again and said goodbye to us, Lin Xue asked curiously. However, as soon as she finished speaking, her expression changed slightly. She grabbed my hand and started walking out of the forest, "It's okay. You guys go ahead, I'll go back with Blockhead first."
Jingle didn't notice the Miss' abnormal behavior. Instead, she innocently smiled at us and said, "A few days ago, Jingle made a new type of fish. Although it's a bit silly, it's very pretty. Liliana wants to go with Jingle to see the fish …"
I was already shocked when I heard the word 'fish'. At this time, I didn't say anything and carried the Mercury Lamp on my shoulder, turned around, and ran!
Lin Xue's shout startled countless birds and beasts in the forest, "Hurry up and retreat!!"
