Chapter 132
In a private room on the second floor of the tavern, the gray-haired old man looked sharp, "Hello, friend. My name is Di Ruisi. I used to be a sailor, and now I am a slave trader. Mermaids live in the deep sea and are rarely seen on land. I wonder what you want to know about the mermaids?"
Slave trader? Could this guy be selling mermaid slaves?
Cheng Yu thought to himself.
Some human wealthy businessmen prefer beautiful girls of other races and are willing to pay a high price to buy them, such as: Cheng Yu.
"I want to know if the ancestor of the mermaids, Siren, left any relics?"
Although Cheng Yu was quite interested in the beautiful girls of the mermaids, he still had to do business.
"Uh~ I don't know about that."
Di Ruisi helplessly spread his hands.
"Didn't you say you knew?"
Cheng Yu felt deceived.
"I know some things, such as: where the mermaids live, the interests and hobbies of the mermaids, and the eating habits of the mermaids, but how could I know the secret of the mermaids' ancestors' relics?"
Di Ruisi looked a little speechless.
Even ordinary mermaids may not know about their ancestors.
"Forget it, Meiweier, let's go."
Cheng Yu and Meiweier stood up and prepared to leave the room.
Seeing Cheng Yu preparing to leave, Di Ruisi stopped him and said with a smile, "Friend, don't go. Although I don't know, you can go to the mermaids to ask in person."
"The mermaids live on the seabed, how can I go there?"
Cheng Yu looked at Di Ruisi with a distrustful look.
"Our Chamber of Commerce has a one-day tour project for the mermaids. You can visit the mermaids' territory and ask by the way." Di Ruisi introduced.
"Aren't you a slave trader? There are also tourism projects?"
Cheng Yu was puzzled.
"It's okay to make money, it doesn't matter what you do."
Di Ruisi smiled, "Do you want to join? One-day tour of the mermaids, fifty gold coins per person."
"So expensive?"
Cheng Yu pretended to be surprised to pave the way for bargaining later.
"That's to the mermaid tribe deep in the sea. Ordinary people can't go there. It's expensive for a reason."
"Less, how about five gold coins?"
Cheng Yu and Di Ruisi bargained.
How can you bargain like this? Fifty gold coins directly reduced to five gold coins?
Di Ruisi still kept a smile on his face, but he was roaring in his heart.
"Five gold coins are too little, at least forty gold coins, this is the lowest price we accept." Di Ruisi said.
"Thirty gold coins."
Cheng Yu certainly knew that five gold coins were too little, it was just a bluff, and thirty gold coins were the reasonable price in his mind.
"Well, okay, thirty gold coins are thirty gold coins, it's my bad luck."
Di Ruisi shook his head and sighed, looking like he had suffered a great loss.
"How do we get there?"
"I have a friend in the mermaid tribe. We will go out to sea together tomorrow. He will come to pick us up after we arrive at the designated location."
"Okay, I'll give you the money when we set off tomorrow."
Cheng Yu was not worried about being deceived by Di Ruisi. Any conspiracy was useless in the face of absolute power.
"Meiweier, I will go out to sea with this man tomorrow. You wait for me in Pis Port."
Cheng Yu did not plan to take Meiweier with him. The Black Dragon tribe was born evil. If they appeared in the mermaid tribe, they might be considered unfriendly.
On the other hand, the price of a one-day trip to the mermaid tribe was 30 gold coins per person. If you did not take Meiweier, you could save 30 gold coins.
"I wanted to try the taste of the mermaid tribe. Since you are not taking me, forget it."
Meiweier did not care whether Cheng Yu took her or not.
...
The next day, Cheng Yu asked Meiweier to stay in the hostel in Pis Port and go out to sea with Di Ruisi.
The weather was fine and the vast sea was calm.
A small boat sailed towards the depths of the sea.
Diris was in charge of steering the direction, while Cheng Yu sat at the stern, watching the increasingly distant Pease Harbor.
Slowly, Pease Harbor disappeared from Cheng Yu's sight.
"Diris, how long will it take?" Cheng Yu asked.
"We'll be there soon. My boat is famous for being fast."
A black reef appeared on the sea ahead.
Diris stopped the boat near the reef and took out a golden conch with beautiful patterns engraved on it.
"Diris, my friend, where did you get this conch?"
Cheng Yu also had a similar conch, blue and translucent, which he found in Wiggins's vault. Meiweier said it was something from the mermaids.
I don't know what it's for.
"My friend from the mermaid tribe gave it to me. The mermaids are very sensitive to sound. If you blow the conch near this reef, he will appear."
Diris blew the conch.
Woo~
The long conch sound echoed on the sea.
About ten minutes later, the water on the sea surface began to swirl, and a vortex with a diameter of tens of meters appeared. The vortex gradually became larger, and a water column rushed up from the center of the vortex to a height of more than ten meters.Then, a man in silver armor appeared at the top of the water column. He had very white skin, pointed ears like an elf, and a trident in his hand. His upper body was human, and his lower body was a big fish tail.
The scales sparkled in the sun, very beautiful.
It was the first time Cheng Yu saw the mermaids, and they looked much more pleasing to the eye than the fish monsters before.
Unexpectedly, the old man Di Ruisi could really contact the mermaids.
"Cheng Yu, let me introduce you, this is my mermaid friend Tai Lun." Di Ruisi introduced Cheng Yu.
"Long time no see, Di Ruisi."
The mermaid named Tai Lun greeted Di Ruisi.
He looked at Cheng Yu, nodded slightly, and seemed very satisfied, "This human looks pretty good."
"Tai Lun, Mr. Cheng Yu wants to visit your mermaids, you take him."
There are people who are eager to travel to the mermaids, and Di Ruisi has cooperated with Tai Lun many times.
"Okay."
Tyrone raised his right hand, condensed a ball of blue energy in his palm, pushed forward, and the blue energy fell on Cheng Yu and disappeared under his skin.
"I have given you the protection of the sea. Within seven days, you can breathe and live freely in the sea like us mermaids." Tyrone explained.
Isn't it a one-day trip?
Why is it a seven-day protection?
Cheng Yu was puzzled, but didn't care too much.
"Let's go, follow me to the mermaid tribe."
The water column under Terrence's feet slowly descended.
Cheng Yu jumped into the sea, opened his mouth, and could breathe freely in the sea.
The seawater will not pour into the body from the nose and ears.
Swing your legs and swim to the depths of the sea.
The underwater world is mysterious and magnificent, with beautiful fish swimming freely in the water, and their scales shining with colorful light in the sun, as dazzling as gems.
The colorful coral reefs are like underwater gardens, with different shapes, some like branches, and some like fans, providing a home for the fish.
In the depths of this peaceful ocean, there are ancient shipwrecks, witnessing the vicissitudes of history, as if telling stories of the past. The wreckage of the shipwreck is covered with shellfish and seaweed, blending with the surrounding marine life to form a unique picture.
"Mr. Tailun, where do you mermaids live?" Cheng Yu tried to speak.
The voice spread in the sea water.
"Deeper seabed."
Tailun replied, Cheng Yu could hear Tailun's words clearly.
