At first, it was just a very subtle change in tone. Because the frequency range fluctuated and jumped, Angel thought it was singing.
After the gondola flew forward for several miles, the sound became clearer and clearer. At this time, not only Angel could hear it, but Dulu also said in surprise: "There is really singing! And it sounds even better."
Very pleasant.”
After Dulu said these words, he closed his eyes and hummed unconsciously.
I saw Dulu slowly swaying with the ethereal music. At first it was just his head shaking, but later his whole body began to swing, and Dulu began to make movements to trace the source of the music.
He wanted to hear more clearly, so he slowly leaned his head and body out of the boat.
Just when most of Duru's body was out of the side of the gondola, a chuckle suddenly came into his ears. This laughter instantly dispelled the music that filled his mind, and he was ups and downs in the beautiful music.
His thoughts were as if he had been fished out of the paste by a fishhook. Before Drew could find the trace, he was awakened by the cold wind outside the boat.
When Drew opened his eyes, he realized that half of his body was leaning out of the boat.
Inside the ship, because of the magic pattern, he didn't feel much cold wind at high altitude. But as soon as he leaned out, he immediately felt that half of his body was being blown by the violent cold wind.
Drew shrank in shock.
When he sat down, he saw Angel opposite him with a playful smile on his lips.
He suddenly realized that the laughter that brought him out of his confusion must be Angel.
Before Dulu could say thank you, he heard the beautiful music again. He was so frightened that he directly covered his right ear, then quietly stuck his head out and looked down.
I saw a row of pink mermaids playing on the red sea surface under the setting sun. They seemed not to notice the gondola high in the sky above their heads, and were humming songs like the sounds of nature to themselves.
Only then did Drew realize that he must have been charmed by the mermaid's singing just now!
"Sir, I..." Duluton choked and didn't know what to say, but there was an embarrassed expression on his face.
Angel said calmly to Dulu: "It's just a mental influence. You have already survived it once. As long as you have a firm belief, you will not indulge again."
This voice was directly transmitted into Dulu's mind. At this time, Dulu carefully lowered the hand covering his ears.
Sure enough, after experiencing the charm of singing once, Drew would not be addicted to it as long as he did not deliberately listen to it.
"I didn't expect to actually meet a mermaid, but these mermaids all look like cubs." Angel leaned lazily on the side of the boat, resting his cheeks with his hands, looking at the little mermaids playing in the ocean below, "They
We haven't reached the hunting stage yet, so no wonder we are attracted to rose cakes and even let go of the Rose Trading Company's cargo ship."
The pink fish-tail mermaids have male and female upper bodies, but they all look like children. They are playing leisurely under the sunset. Some of the female mermaids are holding rose cakes in their hands and eating the cakes sweetly.
This corroborates what Rose Trading Company said before.
"Don't these little mermaids hunt? Then why did I almost...ahem." Dulu was still a little scared at first, but when he took a closer look and found that they were just a group of little cubs, his fear immediately dissipated.
few.
"I have said that mermaids are also an intelligent race. If mermaids have a complete education system, their intelligence will not be inferior to humans. As an intelligent race, they naturally have their own civilization. Like most human social structures, mermaid cubs
They are in the protected stage, and most of the people hunting are adult mermaids." Angele paused: "As for why you are charmed, it is because the mermaid's voice itself has a frequency that can easily resonate with humans. In addition,
When they sing, they will spontaneously resonate with the spirit, so the young mermaids also have the charm function, but it is slightly weaker."
After Angel finished explaining, he whispered: "These mermaids have gauze-like outer membranes on their bodies. They should be Rogge mermaids."
In fact, the vast majority of mermaids are not too bad looking. Among all the mermaid races, the appearance of the Rogge mermaids is definitely the best among them. Angel has read most of the mermaid introductions in books, but he is the only one who is interested in the Rogge mermaids.
The mermaid tribe is more impressive.
Because the Rogge mermaid is born with a colorful transparent gauze garment, it has an illusory and ethereal feeling. In the words of Teacher Jon, it has a "fairy" flavor.
The few little mermaids below have their own tulle on their bodies, just like clothes, reflecting the bright phantom light under the red sunset.
I have to say that the scene in front of me is very beautiful. If there is a painter here who can paint this scene, it will definitely be popular. If there is artistic processing, it is possible to become famous with one painting, and even become a master.
But even if there is a painter here, people who are not extraordinary people would not dare to paint, because the mermaid cubs are here, which means...
"There should be adult mermaids nearby." Angel paused and said, "Moreover, these little mermaids are nobles of the Rogge mermaid tribe, so there should be no shortage of adult mermaids around."
Before he could finish his words, the calm sea surface suddenly stirred up a surge.
The four mermaid cubs who were originally playing were not afraid of the tide, and were still swimming through the tide like surfers. The next scene also surprised Angel.
Because there are more mermaid babies rising from the bottom of the sea.
Colorful fish tails, colorful gauze clothes, and cute faces. There are at least more than thirty little mermaids in this group. They treat the tide as toys and start playing one after another.
At the same time, the effect of the charming singing was even greater than before, floating on the gondola.
Angel was not seduced by the singing, but Duru was tricked again. Seeing him climb onto the boat again, Angel sighed helplessly and set up a gondola directly.
Mental barriers.
With a mental barrier, you can hear the music outside, but you cannot be bewitched by your spirit.
Duru woke up again, his face flushed with embarrassment. Angel didn't say anything. After all, he was still a mortal, and he couldn't be blamed for being charmed.
"Master Pat, how about I speed up now? At the speed of the gondola, we should be able to leave this area in less than a minute." Duru suggested.
Angel thought it was okay. Although he was a little interested in mermaids, he was only curious about a novel species and had no intention of conducting in-depth research.
Even if we really want to do a research project on mermaids, it’s not now.
Angel was about to nod and let Dulu sail away from here, but before he could say anything, Toby in his breast pocket began to protest.
Angel watched Toby fly out, chirping and pointing fingers at Dulu, and immediately understood what it meant.
As a music enthusiast, Toby has a beautiful yearning for all beautiful music. The mermaid's singing may not be as deafening as those in the concert hall, but it must be said that this is a beautiful sound of nature that can make people addicted.
.
Toby likes to listen, which is normal.
Moreover, Toby had no worries about being charmed by the mermaid, so he was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Drew's proposal.
Angel thought about it, it didn't matter, he wasn't in a hurry anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to stay and listen. Just treat it as a free concert.
Thinking of this, Angel motioned to Dulu not to sail the boat, and thickened a mental barrier along the way.
The gondola was hidden in the clouds and did not disturb the play of the little mermaids below. They were still playing happily and looked very harmonious.
However, beauty is beautiful, but you cannot dwell on it. In Dulu's eyes, if someone is bewitched by this picture and falls into the water, it is estimated that the next second will be a brutal picture of human beings being eaten into bones.
Although the music is beautiful, to Dulu it is like a demonic sound filling his ears, and he has no intention of appreciating it at all.
Angel was very clear about Dulu's thoughts. They knew very well what kind of race the mermaids were. However, they had different perspectives and different experiences.
From a human point of view, mermaids hunt humans, which is a heinous thing. Angel is naturally disgusted, and he has a bad impression of mermaids.
However, he also understands the meaning of natural selection. Different races have different choices.
Even from this point of view, it seems that mermaids are right, they are just trying to survive. But Angel still doesn't like mermaids who cannibalize people. At most, they just have the attitude that if you don't mess with me, I won't kill you.
However, regardless of the setting of mermaids eating people, Angel can still appreciate their own beauty.
For example, the beauty of appearance; another example, the beauty of singing.
The main reason why Duru can't appreciate it now is that there is a gap between his own strength and the mermaid. When his strength can crush the mermaid, the unnecessary fear will be eliminated and more essential things will be seen.
Not to mention Duru's horror, Angel himself enjoyed the mermaid's singing.
Although the little mermaid's singing is still a little immature, it still cannot conceal its beautiful essence. One song after another, as they play, the objects they sing to are also different.
Praise the sunset, the sea, and all living creatures. In the eyes of the little mermaid, everything is beautiful, just like most newborn children who do not know good and evil, nor right and wrong.
The moving melody in the song seems to be able to infect everything.
While Angel was enjoying the music, the sea suddenly stirred up a wave, and a buzzing sound sounded from the bottom of the sea.
Angel looked down and saw a huge turtle, comparable to the size of a cloud whale, slowly rising from the sea. Although it was just a rising movement, it set off ripples that were tens of meters high.
Angel saw that the turtle's shell was actually covered with colorful corals of different shapes.
The little mermaids around were not afraid of the turtle at all, and even climbed onto the turtle's shell.
At the same time, a faint and swaying song came from the turtle shell that looked like a coral island.
