Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 170 Young Patriarch

Cecilia couldn't see who was coming.

Based on the little bit of rationality left in my mind, I concluded that the person coming should be a mermaid.

The person visiting Cecilia outside the prison was indeed a mermaid.

The mermaid's tail is very beautiful. Under the reflection of the night pearl, it looks silvery-white from a distance, but in fact the color of each scale is different.

The face is very childish, and seems to be only about ten years old.

But Cecilia, who was in prison, didn't see any of this.

The mermaid outside hummed in confusion, "Could he have died in there?"

Cecilia realized later that she seemed to have not eaten since she was sent to prison.

She didn't feel hungry at all.

I haven't spoken for so long that I can't even make a sound.

While Cecilia was still trying to answer the other party, she heard the sound of the cell door opening.

The shining light from the night pearls in the dungeon corridor shone into Cecilia's cell.

She saw a beautiful mermaid girl in front of her.

The mermaid saw that she was still alive, and her eyes widened with a hint of unhappiness and vigilance. "You didn't say anything, so you wanted to trick me into letting you go?"

Cecilia hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time and was a little dazed. She couldn't tell for a moment whether it was an illusion or a dream.

The mermaid saw that Cecilia didn't respond, and her face wrinkled. "Why don't you speak?"

Cecilia raised her hand weakly, trying to test whether the mermaid in front of her was real.

The mermaid thought Cecilia wanted to attack her, so she flicked her tail and retreated far away.

Just as Cecilia judged when she was first imprisoned, this prison did not cause her physical harm, but was more of a mental torture.

She is a little dazed now.

The mermaid looked warily at the human in front of her, whom her tribe had described as cunning.

Since she was born, she was taught that humans are evil.

There is no such thing as a good human being.

The previous patriarch died because of humans. Not only did he die, but his body was also dismembered by those cruel humans.

The tribesmen also told her that no matter what, she should not give her blessings to humans.

Yes.

This little mermaid, who couldn’t be any younger, is now the leader of the mermaid tribe.

The previous clan leader was extremely powerful. Even after his death, his abilities were still attached to his body and did not leave for a long time.

The mermaids mourned their leader and wanted to piece together his body and bury him according to custom.

The sea disagreed.

The waves swept away the patriarch's body, and the waves obscured the direction in which the body was swept away.

The mermaids resented humans even more.

They also blamed humans for this.

Later, the mermaids built a monument to commemorate the patriarch at the place where his body was swept away.

It is said that a group of dragons cannot be without a leader.

But since the death of the mermaid leader, the position of the mermaid leader has remained vacant.

Until the hundredth year after the patriarch's death, the mermaids still spontaneously went to the monument to mourn the patriarch.

The sea brought an unexpected gift.

A mermaid embryo was gently pushed in front of the mermaids by the waves.

The way was just like how the patriarch's body disappeared that year.

This mermaid embryo became the apple of the mermaids' eyes.

Although I have never heard of such a thing, considering the abilities of the patriarch when he was alive, it is not impossible that he would get mercy from the ocean.

The embryo grew little by little and hatched into a little mermaid.

The mermaids did not find any resemblance to their leader in the little mermaid.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't disappointed, but I still regarded her as the clan leader.

——The youngest chief in the history of the mermaid tribe.

The mermaids seemed to have hope.

They look forward to the little clan leader growing up and to seeing the shadow of the previous clan leader in her in the future.

The young patriarch is very intelligent and he has known since childhood that he is just a substitute for the previous patriarch.

Unlike the previous chief who was very capable, the young chief seemed like a mermaid with congenital deficiencies even though he had been well taken care of by the mermaids since the embryonic stage.

Compared with other mermaids of the same age, her abilities are not even close.

No merman blamed her.

Her existence is more of a spiritual sustenance for most mermaids.

Many mermaids blame themselves.

If there had been more people in the Mermaid Kingdom back then, and if the mermaids hadn't been playing around outside, would the chieftain have not ended up like that?

The young patriarch knew it well.

She is only over 200 years old now and is still considered a child among the mermaids.

She was conflicted.

She wanted to become the previous clan leader and fulfill the expectations and wishes of her clan members.

But on the other hand, she was thinking, why? She is herself, why should she become someone else?

Upon learning that the mermaids had brought back a human who was blessed by the previous leader of the tribe with the ocean, she subconsciously wanted to come and meet him.

She is a judgemental merman.

Even though the tribe members were saying that this guy was unforgivable, the previous tribe leader would definitely not give her the blessing of the ocean just because she was an unforgivable person.

She told no merman of her desire to meet the human.

She knew very well that once this idea was exposed, she would never see this human again in her life.

She began to look for opportunities and wait for chances.

Finally today, she met the legendary human being.

She had to admit that she was somewhat disappointed when the cell door opened.

The human looked in very bad shape.

Maybe it was because he hadn't eaten for many days, she felt that the other person was at the end of his life.

As if to verify her thoughts.

The human seemed to have lost all his strength, and his body began to float, pulled by the sea water.

She could still sense the few remaining bits of life in this human.

But that thin vitality seems unable to sustain this human life.

Even in the entire ocean, the remaining power of the previous patriarch was flowing towards this human.

Those abilities seemed to be trying their best to save the humans in front of them.

Although the young patriarch's own abilities are not that great, he is extremely sensitive to the remaining abilities of the previous patriarch in the ocean.

The ability of mermaids to survive death has always been a mystery.

Mermen generally believe that the remaining abilities of a mermaid after death will continue the mermaid's will during his lifetime.

It has been so long since the last patriarch passed away.

She could memorize the tragic scene before his death. She didn't understand why the previous patriarch still wanted to protect these humans before he died?

The young chief subconsciously swung his tail and hugged Cecilia.

She knew she should put the man back in jail and pretend he had never been there.

Curiosity about humans and the previous patriarch never arose.

But somehow she took Cecilia from the deep sea prison all the way to the Mermaid Island.
