Ocean
It's a beach bar, but I'm wearing it anyway. I need to wash some of my blood. Anything more than a human or a fisherman spills out in one direction, but if there's anything else, you should catch it and find out what's going on.
After so much help closing the street, I ran like a sprint by the beach.
- Quang!
The sand of the sand was scattered as if it had been swept away by a storm because it was a devastating aid. So when we finally trampled the boundaries of the dry land and the wet land with sea water.
- Boom!!!
I shoot myself like a projectile.
"Much surpassed the Producer's expectations!!!!"
Feel the body's flourishing while shouting as cool as ever. Really, it's a huge jump. I flew away and saw the sea, and it was a long time since a man's head had disappeared.
Are you completely out of it?
You think I saw it wrong?
I'm memorizing the coordinates anyway. By the time you see the target, you can put it in your head. If it was nothing, let's just wash up and come back. If it's a corpse, let's pick it up and search for any belongings.
- Boom!!
Soon the body that lost its energy was thrown into the sea.
- Paang!
- Quang!
As soon as the body enters the surface, it casts a powerfully free form, lowering its sleep with its arms and firing at the body. The speed of the swordfish was estimated to be about 100 km per hour. Of course, I'm not on land and I can't make that speed at sea, but it's fast enough.
- Paang! Paang!
That's how I frequencized the ocean while spanking the buttocks of the name Sleep.
Soon after, I arrived where the human head was observed. Not even near the water. Then we'll have to dive.
"Tsu 'ab!"
Take a big breath and put your head in the water.
- Puhwa!
It wasn't that dark in the water, so I could take a good look at the landscape. It is also more beautiful than I thought. All sorts of fish are moving in groups, but I decided to do the viewing later and once I looked around this three-dimensional space,
Whether it's a person or a corpse.
If it were a corpse, it wouldn't be that far.
Nor a normal person.
But I don't think a normal person would be at sea at this time.
"..."
When you look at the direction out to the far sea.
- I...
I could see that only one person was making a strong move toward it. No, it wasn't a fish. Wasn't he scattering his hair? Could it be a killer fish that's biting people's bodies?
- Puhwa!
Immediately came up on the water.
"Fuck?"
It was just a mermaid.
The undoubted mermaid.
"What is it?"
Anyway, I went back to the beach with a free sentence. I didn't think I'd be able to track that down in the water.
But there's a mermaid?
Then, when fishermen and marine crustacean monsters attacked, I couldn't see the mermaid.
I don't know the relationship between a fisherman and a mermaid in the first place, but I haven't found a single real mermaid. In fact, it would be natural. Unlike fishermen with two legs, mermaids are not fish.
Mermaids never come up on land and can't do anything. It is so natural that a man cannot live in the water.
Marine crustacean monsters also have proper legs. Only those with legs are on their way to land.
"Hmm."
I thought about it for a moment while robbing my body of sea water.
You did... yes, you did.
If mermaids are of the same intellect as people, of course they will be afraid of the same people they have done. The same goes for Mr. Serpent.
I will be afraid as if we humans see a giant monster.
Is that why the mermaids came to see you for a while after hearing from you? I don't know in detail. Mermaids are like fish, you can just swim like a dick.
But somehow... I don't think I can just move on.
A mermaid showed up?
This is suspicious enough.
That would have been even worse if there had been incidents involving the sea.
They have intelligence.
Let's go up first.
*
"Mermaids are literally hostile."
I went to the barracks to find an officer and asked him about the mermaid.
"I've done it before. They regard attacking fishermen or destroying aquaculture fields as a task in life. The bad guys are killing human beings anyway, so they support human pirates. But if this is an intelligent species, it doesn't really work, but if you talk, the ocean belongs to you, and you ignore the conversation by asking why humans on land violate that right."
After serving the car, he took the time very kindly to explain.
"Being diplomatic with monsters can't talk, but I've tried diplomatic many times. Historically, of course, we've tried talking to mermaids by any of the coastal lords. But there's never been a conversation. For mermaids, the ocean was their own. You know, monsters and diplomacy are impossible."
It was a detailed description of the preparation process.
He is said to have been a soldier who grew up at sea. He is very experienced in fighting mermaids out to sea, and has considerable expertise.
"In fact, from their point of view, it would be a natural protest, but how could all the things in the sea belong to mermaids? There will be other species, not mermaids, and not all the land belongs to humans. Likewise, there is no master in this sky."
"Hmm... yes."
That's right.
It is not right to think that everything in the sea belongs to them because they are merely mermaids. It is the idea of the mentally ill or the mentally ill.
"Mermaids are waging terrorism by claiming their rights in nonsense. It's just a species born out of the sea. If everything in the sea belongs to me, I was born out of this land, so the Golden Plains of the Kingdom of Mercuda belong to me. Haha. But that's not it, is it?"
"You're right."
I nodded and drank a cup of tea.
- Horoc.
It didn't taste very good.
"They're quite independent. Probably the most intelligent species in the ocean. It's just stupid, isn't it? But mermaids have similar hair to people. So maybe they think they're superior to their marine monsters, and they think they're managers of the ocean. So we think that's what it is. Because of this, they have to catch and kill the Seers."
He seemed very sorry for the mermaids.
"Certainly, fishermen are like a hostile race."
"Yes. I'm glad you even supported the pirates. It's not an extra problem. Once upon a time, we rescued evil pirates from a sinking pirate ship. Asking you to kill more humans. So there are pirates who worship mermaids. They are willing to capture and kill people and carry out looting in order to follow that faith."
When I'm positive, I smile with a nod as if I feel very good. Are you impressed by Paladin's admission?
He shook his fist and said splendidly.
"I think it's a little bit like an oak if you hit it ashore, that's why. Ordinary Orcs are stronger than seasoned soldiers, aren't they? They keep trying to pillage, so they're subjugating. The same goes for mermaids. They're really strong at sea. A few of them may be, but when the mermaids' armies come, they are forced to flee unless they are fleets."
The sea is out of the mermaids' hands.
"Well, there are things like that... The history of fighting mermaids is very long. Of course, we don't fight as dead as we used to, but there's still damage done to them. To conclude, mermaids in the ocean are very dangerous and hostile to humans."
This officer of the sea has been fighting mermaids throughout his service.
- Tuwook.
I put down the teacup and said,
"The mermaid appeared in the nearby sea. Because I saw it for myself. I'm here to let you know because I feel something like the officer just described."
I'm also questioning the sudden appearance of such vicious mermaid cheeks on the coast. In the first place, it was quite a coincidence that the seaman had landed.
Something suspicious.
"Thank you for the information."
"Do you think you know why?"
"Hmm... I honestly don't know, but it's not uncommon for mermaids to come to nearby waters... It's a border.It's a border.It's a border.It's a border.It's not a good thing."
I do.
"Of course, those who don't cover the front and back are still exercising sovereignty, so it's a waste of time raiding fishermen or destroying aquaculture. That's very tricky. We don't even know where the Mermaid Kingdom is. I can only defend myself."
Fucking tricky bastards.
I can't forgive these bastards.
I am not a racist, but I cannot forgive mermaids who claim that the things of the sea are all theirs without any consensus. Supporting these pirate bastards over what? That is already an area of terrorist support.
"Most importantly, not all mermaids move with one mind, and one may have just come to see the land for no other reason... but I need to reinforce the perimeter. Thank you for letting me know."
"No big deal. I just wanted to know more about mermaids, so I came to ask you."
I knew a lot about mermaids.
Then let's ask something else.
"And I have one more question, what about the fanatics who arrested him? I was talking about the call of the sea."
"Ah... those pagan skeptics."
In my words, the officer scratches his back with a shrug.
When the sea came up, rather than joking, many people were caught pranking the prophecies of the seas that contained the destructive content of the land.
I have been working hard as a paladin for a long time, and I have a strong feeling that there may be some strange faithful impurities in this coastal area.
Of course, I can't just interrogate him, so I just said it and put him in jail. In fact, if they were other crusaders, they would have slapped the throat of a madman as soon as they heard that, but what would I do?
"Like everyone else, I'm saying there's no memory. Why, when the Season appeared, the residents and tourists, of course, and our soldiers, too, tried to go down to the sea in the light. For now, that's what I think..."
Maybe he did.
This is just a suspicion, so I can't help it.
"Am I right? Then I can't help it. Please handle it appropriately."
"Got it."
I woke up in my place.
"I drank tea well. It tastes good. Next time."
"Oh, yes. Well done, Paladin."
I asked the officer who bowed his back and greeted him last.
"By the way... do you know anything about the Mermaid Faith? I'm judging that the word" dissociation "didn't come out of nowhere."
"Hmm... that's a tough word. Of course they have faith, but honestly, they don't know the details."
Oh, my God.
"But if you're a seaman, you just have to understand that it's a belief that's unique to the people of the sea. There are a lot of monsters in the ocean. There are very big, transcendent monsters there, too. Humans have not yet ruled the sea. Of course, in that abyss... there may be something enormous."
An ominous belief in the deep sea exists everywhere.
"Dissolution is just that kind of belief. In fact, there used to be a habit of raising prayers to protect boats from storms and sea monsters. Maybe I was terrified of seeing that."
I left the building.
*
Haeshin is dead and left the wreckage.
I signed a contract with the lord to sell off some of his corpse, convene the workers and rip off the scales. This big scale was so hard, it seemed like it would be useful.
I decided to take his head home.
This is a souvenir.
"Paladin. I don't have enough drill cash right now. Killing that overwhelming dissident is just as great. So by the way, I just want to pay for the land or the business."
"Land?"
"Yes. How can you think about it?"
Needless to say, we saved this city. To be honest, it is clear that if it were not for our dissection, we would have chewed it all up. The baron puts us in front of him with that power and takes it out.
Land.
My land?
This is kind of interesting.
"I'll think about it and make a decision."
"I see."
However, I think I should leave this to Riznuna. She knows this better than I do.
