"What do you say?" Lothar noticed fioni''s words, and his body immediately showed a little alert. Although the knight does not dislike people with different worldviews, those who follow certain prophecies or instructions still make him unhappy. For Lothar, every decision should be made by one''s own heart and by one''s own values, not from blind compliance with vague information. This is also the difference between knights and ordinary soldiers. The monarch can order them, but only if the command is worth it.


    The fish like creature put his hands back behind him and looked down upon Lothar''s reaction with great interest. Instead of explaining his meaning in words immediately, he chose to respond with harmless actions. And the count is not a reckless person. After staring at each other on guard for a few seconds, he realized that he was too aggressive, so he shook his head and sighed, "sorry, I think I must have become too sensitive because of this journey."


    "Don''t belittle yourself, Lothar. Believe me, I''ve met too many people who are more sensitive than you." Then fioni pointed his finger to his shoulder, where there was an imperceptible mark. The scales on it would be darker than the surrounding scales. "You see, this is a gift left by a irate pirate captain, and I just wanted to have a word with him. But you don''t have to worry. I''ve learned from a long time that you can''t define an individual by race. Wouldn''t it be boring if everyone had the same personality? "


    "You''re kind of like a guy I know." The count nodded, put his hand on his chest, and apologized for his impoliteness, "but I hope you can explain the meaning of that sentence. Who am I? And why are you here? I thought you were here to save your allies. "


    Fioni turned to look at the hole in the deck. "Oh, you said traveler. My people do have some kind of alliance with them. But I didn''t live with my people long ago. I don''t mean that they are not good, just because I am too curious and always want to see the world on the sea. So I taught myself your language and learned to breathe in the air. What I do may expose them to unnecessary risks. After all, the siren is still a very united group. If I cause disputes, it will be contrary to my original intention


    The creature, who has admitted his identity as a sea demon, takes a few steps to show Lothar that he can actually move, even though it''s a bit weird. This also let the count understand, the original general sea demon is unable to leave the sea. "As for your saying that I think you are a special person, it is a good proof." Fioni approached Lothar again. He raised a hand, but did not reach directly to the count, but revealed the meaning of inquiry. After Lothar nodded, the sea demon gently opened the front of his clothes with his slender fingers, revealing the marks on his body that spread from arm to neck.


    "The sea god''s rope?" The count understood what the other side meant, but he did not know what the sea curse, which even the witch could not do, looked in the eyes of the sea demon.


    "Indeed, that''s what humans call it." Fioni''s fingers glided gently over the black pattern, and his movements were extremely gentle, as if he were touching some precious art. "But for us, it has another name. It should be translated into your language, which should be called, well, proof of the leader. We sirens believe that the sea is very wide, and the lost soul can only drift helplessly on the sea waves if they want to find the entrance to their destination. However, those who bear the certificate of the leader will go directly to their destination and obtain eternal peace. So whenever someone in the clan appears this decoration, the dead will come to him and wait for him to bring their souls to their destination together


    "By the way, in our faith, the sea is not monopolized by a single shrine. As far as I know, the two tribes living nearby, one of which is my predecessor, believed in Ms. waves and the father of the sharks. But I don''t think humans are interested in our beliefs, so I won''t elaborate on their differences. " Fioni took back his fingers reluctantly. It can be seen that no matter what he said is true or not, the sea demon''s admiration for the sea god''s rope can not be faked.


    Lothar was silent for a few seconds, "proof of the leader? Listen, fioni, I think my question may be a little abrupt for you, but the fact is that I don''t want to go to your destination and get eternal peace. I still have unfinished business here. I still have places to go back to and responsibilities to fulfill. So can you tell me, can you erase it from me? "


    This time it was the sea demon''s turn to be silent. He gently touched his high head with his fingers and looked at Lothar with his big eyes, as if to make sure that the human really understood what he said. "Well, I see. You are the same as those people. " There was a distinct disappointment in his tone, but it didn''t last long. "Generally speaking, we don''t allow this to happen. Go back to the Council and see if you can find a different solution. "


    "Thank you very much." Lothar can hear the regret in the other party''s words, but this is not the time to kill herself in order to please the sea demon. After asking about this great trouble, the count relaxed, and his stomach howled out of time, which made the two men on the deck smile."Wait for me. I''ll be back soon." With that, fioni went to the deck and jumped into the sea. Lothar noticed that when the siren''s body came into contact with the sea water, the tiny scales quickly became larger, and the originally thin body became big and powerful in the sea. Fioni swam fast, and before the count could see more details, he disappeared into the waves. But Lothar simply sat on the deck, watching the seagulls flying in the sky, did not know what to think.


    The count''s thought did not last long, for a white wave soon appeared in his sight. That''s fioni. The sea demon can easily pull a half damaged wooden box with one hand, and swim freely in the water with the rest of its limbs. Looking at the swift figure, Lothar even had the illusion that the sea demon had four arms, and so on. It didn''t seem to be an illusion. When fioni got back on the deck, he did have four arms! Two extend from the shoulder as humans do, while the other two extend from the back about the shoulder blades. The arms that stretched out from behind seemed unable to escape from the sea. As soon as the sea demon left the water, those two arms quickly shrank into the scales behind.


    "I''m sorry, I only found these. Although I''ve studied human food, I still can''t tell them apart. But I think it''s better than giving you some live fish or conch Fioni held the wooden box in his hands and put it in front of Lothar. There were some dry bread and sausages in it. "There''s always a lot of these things after every tsunami. In fact, before I became aware of your ship, I was also collecting these things to enrich my research. Are they still with your appetite? "


    Now, of course, Lothar doesn''t have time to answer the siren''s questions. He''s busy putting food in his mouth. Food soaked in sea water is certainly not delicious, but people who have been hungry for several days are not qualified to pick and choose.
