Chapter 952: Tracing the Origin
Chapter 952: Tracing the Origin
Lin Yu and Siyue boarded the mermaids' boat.
Mermaids can breathe both underwater and in the air. Since mermaids have a good relationship with humans and underwater dwellers, their spacecraft are filled with seawater most of the time. However, they also have partitioned rooms that can be emptied of seawater and filled with air, serving as temporary accommodation for guests who do not have the ability to breathe underwater.
Especially the aircraft of the "Emergency Rescue Team", which needs these even more.
At this moment, Lin Yu and Siyue were placed in such a room.
The spacecraft continued to sink and soon reached a depth of hundreds of meters below, close to the seabed. The two looked at the magnificent deep-sea scenery outside through the glass portholes - glowing corals, swimming fish, and many aquatic plants that looked like trees. It looked strange and breathtaking.
Compared to the pitch-black seabed on Earth, the visibility in this Jingxu sea is not only very high but also looks very beautiful because of the presence of a large number of luminous marine plants - it has a gorgeous and luxurious beauty.
"How about it, you two? The scenery of our Mermaid Kingdom is pretty good, isn't it?"
Watching the two of them looking out the window, the mermaid who had accompanied them smiled and spoke.
Lin Yu nodded: "It's really good."
"How does it compare to the Sea of Inner Space?"
The mermaid asked again.
Lin Yu had never been to the Middle Sea before, so he could only say nonsense: "Not much different."
"Haha, that's just a joke. How can we compare to the Middle Sea?" the mermaid said with some emotion. "But apart from the Middle Sea, we are indeed one of the best - tell me objectively, how much of the beauty are we compared to the Middle Sea?"
"That's 30%, right?"
Lin Yu took Hannah's opinion into consideration and spoke conservatively.
The mermaid was delighted. "Actually 30%? That's really good!"
After all, the Central Sea is a holy place favored by the gods and is located in the very center of the entire Jingxu.
But the Middle Sea, like the ruins of the "Lost Kingdom", is the most famous and desirable place in the entire Jingxu.
Although the Middle Sea is not as mysterious as the Lost Kingdom, not everyone can go there - it is surrounded by the most turbulent storms and undercurrents, and is blocked by the "Eternal Wall" that is powerful enough to tear apart any ship and the body of any sea creature. Only races favored by God and a very few lucky people who are on good terms with the bigwigs of the Middle Sea are qualified to enter there through the carefully guarded sea route.
This is also why after hearing that Lin Yu came from the Middle Sea, the mermaids were in awe, and they also had more respect for April who was able to hire Lin Yu as a "bodyguard" - even if he had only been there once, he was still an extraordinary guy.
Legend has it that the waters of the Middle Sea are crystal clear and sweet to drink, the bottom of the Middle Sea is covered with fine glazed golden sand, and the sea creatures there are all over ten meters long - and it is said that in the very center of the Middle Sea there is a road that leads to the banquet restaurant of the Supreme God of Jingxu.
This is also why the mermaid did not suspect that Lin Yu was cheating.
In Jingxu, no one dares to joke with Zhonghai - that would bring divine punishment!
Of course Lin Yu had never been there, but Hannah had.
Although this mermaid is the captain of the emergency search and rescue team and is considered an official, he does not seem to have noble bloodline.
In Shen Bingmiao's information, there are tutorial tips on how to identify mermaids.
The bloodline hierarchy among mermaids is very strict, and the simplest way to distinguish them is to use the color of their lower body, the tail.
The purer the color, the purer the bloodline. Among pure-colored mermaids, the closer the color is to gold, the nobler the bloodline inheritance.
The mermaid captain in front of him had a motley tail, so he should be just a civilian among civilians.
of course……
Not many mermaid nobles are willing to do tough jobs like emergency search and rescue teams.
After all, you have to drive the boat around.
"Since you're going to participate in the Origin Tracing Festival, you should be planning to take the 'Lucky Golden Dragon' to our 'Bao Boer' to use the teleportation node, right?"
The mermaid asked, and Lin Yu nodded.
"Yes, that's what we planned."
Although he only now knew that this was actually the second largest city in the Mermaid Kingdom, "Baobol", Lin Yu still agreed calmly, as if this was really his plan.
After all... this [copy] should have been designed this way.
The main celebration venue of this year's Origin Festival is located in the "Siren Kingdom".
As a human being, if you go directly to the Siren Kingdom, you will definitely encounter many dangers on the way - now there have been attacks by sirens in the Mermaid Kingdom, and it is simply unimaginable if you go directly there.
Although on the surface there is no all-out war between the races, when sirens and humans encounter each other in wild and uninhabited waters, there is almost no possibility of one side dying.
but……
The importance of the Origin Festival far outweighs the grievances and frictions between races.
This is a common festival celebration for the eight major races of Jingxu. It only happens once a year. The main venues for the celebration are the capitals of the kingdoms of the five races: Sirens, Nagas, Sirens, Mermen, and Murlocs. The eight races conduct peaceful trade and exchange what they have, and hold a week-long carnival banquet. Each race must bring out the best wine and food to entertain guests from other races.
It's a bit like a Jingxu version of the "World Expo", and it's mainly based on food.
Therefore, during this period, each of the other kingdoms will select a remaining two-way teleportation array and open it to facilitate everyone's travel to the main venue.
This time, the Mermaid Kingdom naturally chose Baoboer - and cities like Baoboer can also be called branch venues.
This is probably why the sirens took the risk to attack the "Lucky Golden Dragon" in the Mermaid Kingdom and near Baopol.
After all, once human cargo ships arrive at Baopol in the Mermaid Kingdom, and enter the Siren's capital legally and reasonably after completing the formalities, if they take action at that time... the entire Siren Kingdom and the Siren race will be spurned by the gods and the sea, and may even be degraded to become mindless sea creatures and become food for other races.
Although the Sirens' rulers are mostly moderate and hostile to humans and underwater people, they would not kill them all.
But in the eyes of many radical Sirens, the fewer humans who can enter their capital to profit and trade by taking advantage of the Origin Festival, the better!
Now that Lin Yu and Siyue have reunited with the mermaids, they are naturally "absolutely safe".
April heard the other side's mermaid captain take the initiative to ask, and after thinking about it, she said: "So, do you have any plans to go to the Siren King's Capital?"
The mermaid captain shook his head slightly upon hearing this. "How is that possible? During the Origin Tracing Festival, our emergency search and rescue team will definitely be working overtime and on duty all the time!"
