"I think we should send you to the guards." Ember raised his hand, hesitating.
On the one hand, he felt that secretly taking photos was not a good idea, but on the other hand, he felt that it was too much trouble to send someone to the guard post for such a small matter.
"No! Even if I really was taking pictures secretly, it wouldn't be possible, right?" Upon hearing this, the reporter hurriedly showed Yu Jin the film. There was nothing on it except a few pictures of the scenery.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I've already said that we're going to interview Meilushin. But she hasn't arrived yet." The reporter covered his forehead with his hand, looking depressed.
Hearing that the Melusems lived nearby, he traveled thousands of miles to Erinace determined to interview them. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of anyone.
"Then why don't you go directly to Haimo Village?"
"Hahaha, I can tell at first glance that you're from outside this place." The reporter laughed a few times after hearing Yu Jin's words.
Then he quietly asked Yu Jin: "Do you think Mei Lu Xin is popular?"
Ember thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
"do not know."
Although Aibel is good, she is just a Melusin. No matter good or bad, it is stupid to use one individual to represent the entire race.
So Yu Jin was not sure how the Fontaine people viewed this race that was completely different from humans.
"You haven't seen Meilushin?"
"I've seen it."
"Can't you see they are so cute?"
"Well... okay, it's really cute." As he said that, Yu Jin also started writing and drawing.
"Short hands, fluffy, and horns equal cute? What did you write?" The reporter looked at Yu Jin's crooked handwriting, confused.
"Nothing, Meilushin is very cute, and then what?" Yu Jin didn't care. Anyway, the reporter couldn't understand what he wrote.
"So how many people will look for Meilushin?" The reporter spread his hands, then smiled as if he remembered something and said:
"I remember someone built a house in Haimo Village and said he wanted to live with Meilushin."
"This……"
Ember scratched his head. This was a little difficult to judge.
"Then he was taken away by the people from the Law Enforcement Court, and since then Fontaine has added a rule that no one is allowed to go to Haimo Village without an invitation."
The reporter gnashed his teeth as he spoke. If it weren't for this rule, he wouldn't have to "ambush" Meilushin halfway and ask for an interview.
"There is such a rule?" Yu Jin was shocked when he heard this. He was just thinking about going to Haimo Village for a stroll, but now he was told that he couldn't go there casually?
"Otherwise, with Meilushin's popularity, Haimo Village would be crowded with people every day." The reporter was also helpless. He also knew that this rule was reasonable, but he just didn't want to accept it.
"Okay..., you continue with your work." Yu Jin patted the reporter's shoulder and left with him.
As he continued to move forward, he wondered whether he should stop a Melusin and ask it like the reporter did just now.
In fact, he still had some doubts in his heart, thinking that the reporters might have exaggerated Meilushin's popularity.
Who has nothing to do all day and just wants to find Meilushin?
Then Ember realized that he was wrong.
"Ouch! I stepped on someone!"
“Are you a reporter too?”
“Am I that famous?”
"do not know."
A sense of resentment suddenly emerged from the bushes behind Yu Jin. It was obvious that his words just now had hit the people inside.
As he got closer to Haimo Village, such things happened more and more. Now Yu Jin began to wonder if the reporter had arrived too late and had no room to stay so far away.
“It’s really… lively.”
Standing on a hillside, Yu Jin couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the scene below.
Below is a clear pool of water, and beneath the pool is a deep cave.
There is nothing new about this. What is really unbearable is the densely growing "shrubs" near the pool.
There is no doubt that every "bush" here represents a lurking person.
Of course, it can also be said to be perverted.
"No wonder Meilushin built her home underground." Yu Jin looked at the cave in the pool and shook his head speechlessly.
This way, the village is built on the ground, and I'm afraid there will be "shrubs" all around.
"Forget it, I'll dig the hole myself."
Ember turned around and planned to dig a hole somewhere and investigate the peculiarities of Erinaceus.
But before he took a few steps, there was a commotion below.
"Hey! What do you want to do?!"
"Everyone likes Mei Lu Xin. Why? Your face is bigger than others?"
"Come here, two people, notify the guards and tell them that someone is trying to break into Haimo Village!"
The "shrubs" removed their disguises and surrounded a man in a purple robe near a pool of water.
Jacob was also confused at the moment. He was just about to go to Haimo Village to see if the little guys had collected the blood of Erinaceus, when he found that there was suddenly a group of people around him.
Where did these guys come from?
Jacob was a little annoyed by the people around him pointing and talking. He waved his arm and a circle of purple lightning appeared beside him.
"呲呲呲!"
Purple lightning formed a barrier between Jacob and the crowd.
"Get out of my way!"
"otherwise……"
"boom!"
A bolt of lightning surged out from the barrier, smashing a half-human-sized rock into pieces.
"Elemental power!"
"The owner of the Eye of God!"
"He doesn't necessarily have to be the owner of the Eye of God. God won't look upon such an annoying guy!"
Everyone grumbled, but still retreated silently. Every one of them was a guy who couldn't even beat the Hillilks, let alone Jacob.
"Hiss..., not a human?"
Yu Jin turned his head. In his eyes, the Jacob who was showing off his might below was not a human being.

The people lurking near the pool succumbed to Jacob's power and ran away. After looking around and making sure that it was correct, the latter dived into the water.
After he left, the embers on the hillside jumped down. He looked at the rippling pool and felt distressed.
"Why do we dive more often once we get to Fontaine?"
With this mentality, Yu Jin quietly followed Jacob.
In the water-filled cave, he finally understood why so many people just stayed at the exit of Haimo Village and didn't go in - the cave was winding, and if ordinary people went down without diving equipment, they would not be able to escape the fate of drowning even if they knew the way.
But obviously, this situation did not apply to Jacob. His luxurious purple robe swayed with the water flow, but his flexibility was not affected at all.
In the azure cave, he seemed very familiar with the place.
Soon, Yu Jin, who was hiding at the back, found that Jacob in front of him had disappeared. He waited for a while under the water, and then slowly poked his head out of the water.
This is a hollowed-out hill, with scattered small houses in the wide belly of the hill. These houses look less than half the size of normal houses, and the decorations on them are also varied and arbitrary.
Looking around, it felt like a large building block park. But considering that the people living here were all Melusins, Yu Jin suddenly felt that it was a lot more normal.
He was now on a high ground in the corner of the small village. If he went down the path ahead, he would be able to reach Haimo Village directly.
As for Jacob, he had already run to a small house.
That room, like the others here, was very small. To be honest, it was only about the height of a person and a half.
The walls are ordinary brick walls, and the roof is directly covered with a giant shell. This kind of combination can only be seen in Haimo Village.
Not only that, there are countless graffiti painted on the white walls and large shells. These graffiti are of all colors and have unclear meanings, as if they were just drawn casually.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"
Jacob knocked on the door, and soon, a puzzled response came from behind the small door.
"Who?"
With a creaky sound, the door opened and a girl named Meilushin wearing an apron walked out.
The color of her body was very similar to that of Huawen and Aibel, whom Yujin had seen before, both were bluish-white. However, the horns on her head were different, Aibel's horns were like two spindles, while hers were like those of a fawn.
Mame looked up and saw someone coming. Then a look of surprise appeared on her puzzled face.
"Ah, Mr. Jacob, when did you come running over here?"
"I just came over. How are you? Do you have any new paintings?"
Jacob gave Mamehe the same smile.
"What's going on? Do they know each other?" Yu Jin, who was hiding in the corner, saw Jacob and Melusin talking and laughing, and became confused.
Could these two be friends? Then there is no point in following them. What is there to spy on when two friends meet?
"Of course, what do you think of this painting?" When Mamehe heard Jacob's question, she immediately ran back to the house excitedly and took out a painting that could be described as "weird".
The paint on the canvas is smeared together, and the various colors are intertwined, which is dazzling.
But despite using a lot of paint and a lot of ink, there is nothing tangible on the canvas, just a hodgepodge of pigments.
