AWB Chapter 138 Ellie and Dick
Chapter 138 Ellie and Dick
Feng Chan slowed down her swimming speed and tried her best to act like a local fish. She had asked Bai Xue on the way, but she had never been to the main city and didn't know its exact location.
If there is no witch tree in this city, you will probably have to go to the main city to find it.
The mermaids around were all doing their own things. Some were sitting at home weaving mermaid yarn with marine tools, and some were drying fish.
No, drying fish? Isn't this the sea?
Bai Xue then explained, "Mermaids live in a unique environment. Every city is protected by a layer of water-repellent beads. Only half of the city is filled with water, and the upper half is dry."
Feng Chan happened to swim to the edge of the city, and only then could she see the situation inside clearly. It was indeed as Bai Xue said. She was some distance away and the seabed was all blue, so she couldn't see clearly.
Her hand carefully touched the waterproof cover and passed through it easily. As its name suggests, it only blocked water.
"What should we do, Dick? My mother won't agree to let you come to her house if we haven't found the golden butterfly pearl." Two mermaids swam towards them from a distance.
"Ellie, I'll go look for it somewhere farther away tomorrow. I'm sure I'll find it. Believe me."
As the two chatted, a mermaid with a blue fish tail looked towards Feng Chan and asked, "Who are you?"
As he spoke, he swung his tail and instantly appeared in front of Feng Chan, much faster than the newbie Feng Chan.
She has algae-blue curly hair, wears a tube top made of orange shark gauze, and has a milky white pearl necklace around her neck.
The male mermaid next to it also has a bright orange tail, and its scales shine as if they were coated with glitter. Its long curly hair is the same color as its tail, and its appearance is outstanding in human aesthetics. It wears all kinds of fancy accessories, including pearls, fish bones, and shells, and it is eager to dress up as a colorful peacock.
Both mermaids were exceptionally large, the female was twice the size of Feng Chan, and the male was slightly smaller.
From the voice, it could be determined that the person who spoke was a female mermaid. Before Feng Chan could speak, the female mermaid continued, "You are not yet an adult, are you? You are not a mermaid from here. What is your name? Where are you from? Why is your hair black? It's rare."
"My name is Dora."
Feng Chan had just answered one of the series of questions when the female mermaid put her face close to her, moving it to the left and then to the right.
"My name is Ellie, nice to meet you Dora. Do you want to be a boy or a girl when you grow up?"
Dick pulled back to Ai Li and stared at Feng Chan warily: "Okay Ai Li, Dora is still young, don't scare him."
"Dick, you're being very rude." Ellie was a little unhappy when she was pulled back. Everyone asked this question when they met children. She asked what was wrong. And it was too much that they were not allowed to kiss on the cheek when meeting new friends.
Ellie said this casually, but Dick suddenly got angry: "Yes, it's my incompetence that I can't find Pearl, and I'm afraid you'll find someone new. I'm being stingy, okay?"
After saying that, he swam away quickly without looking back.
Feng Chan, who had been relieved to have avoided all kinds of problems, suddenly fell into embarrassment.
Ellie scratched her head in confusion: "Why are you angry?"
Feng Chan: "Why don't you go and comfort her?"
Ellie waved her hand. "Oh, it's okay. Mermaids just like to make a fuss. Besides, I didn't do anything. Come on, I'll take you to the Crystal Palace. There must be something you haven't seen in there."
As he spoke, he took Feng Chan's hand and swam through the barrier of water-repellent beads towards the transparent building.
Halfway through the swim, Feng Chan seemed to see the resentful figure of Dick clinging to the window of a coral reef, and her teeth were almost broken.
"Dora, how old are you? Your hands are too thin. We mermaids should be stronger." Ellie is a talkative person and kept talking halfway along the way.
Feng Chan didn't answer her, but corrected her earlier question: "I haven't decided whether to choose a boy or a girl yet."
Ellie slapped her forehead in sudden realization. Dora was not yet an adult.
"Oh yeah, look at my memory. You look more like a mermaid, so I subconsciously chose you as one. However, you're still too small when you grow up, so a male mermaid would probably be more popular."
"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Feng Chan actually wanted to ask some questions, but the more she said, the more mistakes she would make, so she didn't say much.
Ai Li was very fast and in less than three minutes she dragged Feng Chan to the front of the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace is high enough that the bottom three floors are water and the top two floors are dry areas.
"The first floor is full of all kinds of clothes and jewelry. Would you like to buy one?" Ai Li introduced the first floor skillfully and greeted the shopping guide inside skillfully.
Feng Chan lowered her head: "But I don't have any money..."
Ai Li thought Feng Chan was feeling inferior, so she kept silent about it, while at the same time making endless guesses about her life experience.
After a moment of silence, he put his arm around Feng Chan's shoulders and said, "It's okay. We're close to the main city, so there's no shortage of lucrative work."
Because Feng Chan was too small, she automatically ignored the idea of letting her hunt to make money.
Feng Chan: "Well, thank you Sister Ai Li, but I don't know the way. Can you tell me how to get there?"
"That's no problem. I happen to be going to the main city to deliver something to my sister this afternoon. I'll take you there." Ai Li patted her chest. "Let's take a look around here first."
After shopping on the first floor, Ai Li also picked out a pair of Shell clothes for Feng Chan. Although it was the cheapest, it was finely polished and looked much better than the ones Feng Chan casually put on. Feng Chan refused twice but finally put it on.
The currency they traded was something called raw water, which was stored in beads of different colors. Feng Chan took a quick look and saw that it was the same as the game levels: green, blue, red, and purple.
The three lower floors are filled with ordinary daily decorations, but the fourth floor is a little different. There is one meter of water on the fourth floor, so it is not completely dry.
There were all kinds of sophisticated weapons. Ai Li and the shopping guide were watching. Feng Chan wanted to put them into her backpack to see their levels and skills, but she could only think about it. However, she could tell something from the prices.
The most expensive weapon costs 4000 red water. Ai Li is jealous of it, but cannot afford it.
Another part of the fourth floor sells various shark yarns, some of which are placed in water tanks and some are hung directly on waterless display racks.
The most common color is blue, and the price is relatively cheaper, but it also requires 200 blue raw water.
The price of other colored shark gauze is more than twice that of blue shark gauze, but I have never seen such shiny shark gauze as the one on Ai Li.
Seeing Feng Chan staring at her, Ai Li couldn't help but joked, "Only one piece of merman silk is produced in a year. Weaving merman silk is really hard work. I think us mermaids are the best. We can weave when we want and not when we don't."
Feng Chan: "Was the shark silk that Sister Ai Li is wearing woven by Brother Dick? Why is it different from the ones here?"
Ai Li was a little surprised, but remembering that Feng Chan might have a very tragic life experience and had no family to teach her these things, she patiently explained.
