The two young ladies looked at each other. "Dick, can we talk alone?"
Dick looked at Niuniu, and Niuniu replied boldly, "I have already arranged it for you. The room is next to yours, and I have also arranged a room for these two little guys."
"Thank you. By the way," Dick pressed his hands heavily on the table as he spoke, "Remember not to tell anyone that they came to the tavern, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
Seeing Dick's serious expression, the two brothers nodded quickly.
In the room, the two little guys were devouring the food on the table. It was the dinner that Lao Ba specially made for them.
After a while, the two of them had eaten and drank enough, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Dick looked at Alps, "Can you explain? About your brother's ability to control giant creatures in the deep sea, and how you escaped from those people?"
"Where to start?"
"Of course, let's start from the beginning. The more detailed the better."
Alps gently touched Guoguo's head, "Actually, my brother is not my mother's biological child."
"Sister..."
"It doesn't matter, you will know about it sooner or later."
"Actually, I have known for a long time that we are not biological siblings.
Ever since I awakened the ability to control deep-sea creatures, I have heard my mother accidentally talk about the Siren family.
I know that it is the power of Siren in my blood that gives me such an ability."
"It seems that there is indeed a male in the Siren clan who can awaken this ability." Dick said with emotion.
"My mother and I have carefully reviewed the relevant information. The probability that the males of the Siren family will inherit the ability to command giant deep-sea creatures is extremely small, so most of the males are ordinary fish-men.
And my brother Guoguo is the only recorded male who has awakened this ability in the past thousand years.
During the blood moon, the mother found the baby on the coral reef, wrapped in a king squid ink sac and tied with a pearl oyster engraved with the image of Siren. She originally wanted to raise him and train him to become a great deep-sea herbalist.
However, when he was five years old, the small village where we lived was attacked by an unknown giant sea monster.
The sea monster frantically hit the Protection membrane with its head, causing the whole village to tremble.
It was then that Guoguo awakened his ability for the first time.
After he waved his little hand, Monster actually left the village.
He protected us, but he fainted.
The news spread like wildfire, and people kept asking about my brother's origins.
Over the years, we have been hiding everywhere, but in the end, my mother died at the hands of the fish-man guards."
"Do those fishmen guards have a leader?"
"I have seen the leader." Alps's voice began to tremble when he spoke.
"Although he is short in stature, he is extremely scary.
Wearing a hood and a dagger on his waist.
Every time he was about to catch us, he would let us go and threaten Guoguo that if Guoguo could no longer awaken and stabilize the ability to command more deep-sea creatures, he would cut my throat in front of Guoguo next time we met."
"It turns out to be him, Slithereen Slark, he is the younger brother of Sparta."
"Sparta..." Alps's eyelashes trembled violently, "Isn't he the commander-in-chief of the murloc guards? Why is he chasing us?"
"I don't know. But you two have obviously been caught up in a huge conspiracy vortex.
Now, hide it well and don't show it again, you know?"
Seeing that the siblings were at a loss, Dick gently touched their heads and said, "Don't worry, I will resolve this matter as soon as possible so that you and your brother can live a stable life."
The two nodded.
Dick asked again, "Then were you let go on purpose by Slark and Slithereen this time?"
"No, he didn't catch up with us this time. But when he left last time, he said happily that he had received good news and was going to return to the capital."
"Return to the capital?" Dick touched his chin, suddenly remembering that when he first met Slark last time, he returned to the capital precisely because Princess Nazi returned to Deep-Sea World.
"Then how did you escape this time?"
"Guoguo attracted a whale, and we hid in its mouth."
"You guys are living a really hard life. Go to sleep now, you know? You must have a good rest."
"We got it."
Dick returned to his room, lying on the bed with his head on his arms, thinking about the whole thing:
The fish-man queen contracted a serious disease and wore bubbles that isolated bacteria;
Medusa The high priest happened to be asleep at this time;
Slithereen has been chasing these two children, and the commander-in-chief Sparta is his biological brother;
The fishman guards are promoting the war against humans, and the younger brother of the fishman priest who was killed before is full of hostility towards them.
Dick suddenly opened his eyes wide:
Medusa is the patron saint of Deep-Sea World, and she is sleeping at the moment;
When the deep sea monster controlled by Guoguo that Slark is chasing goes berserk, it will cause chaos.
These two things clicked together in his mind like gears.
No, I have to go back to the palace tomorrow to see if the Queen and Nazi are back.
Dick Thinking like this, he gradually fell asleep on the bed.
He knew that it would be useless to think too much at the moment, so it was better to recharge his batteries and prepare for tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after learning that sisters Siren had not returned to the palace, Dick followed Niuniu to the square.
After saying hello to the man in the cowboy hat, Niuniu began a test of arm strength.
After defeating two murlocs in a row, the surrounding murlocs burst into deafening cheers.
Niuniu stood up and assumed various toned postures. His strong muscles showed a greasy sheen under the simulated sunlight. Finally, he raised his chin, blew out two streams of white air from his nose, and shouted:
"Who else????"
There was no challenger, only silence in response.
Niuniu looked up to the sky and laughed extremely arrogantly, "Is there no one who can defeat me? You are too weak!"
"Niuniu, what are you so proud of? Although you can defeat us fishmen, why can't you defeat the human next to you?"
"Yes, yes, you are just a little better than your compatriots. You are always showing off what's the point. You have the ability to defeat land creatures to prove yourself."
Niuniu stared at Dick with bull eyes like copper bells, "Just in time, let's have another competition. I didn't have a good rest last time and performed abnormally. I can definitely win this time."
"Well..." Dick pretended to hesitate and tapped the ground with his right foot.
"Human, are you afraid?" A certain blue-scaled fish man slapped the ground with his tail fin.
"Niuniu really lost last time because of insomnia?" The old man carrying a turtle shell narrowed his eyes.
The parrot fishman wrapped in a seaweed turban immediately answered:
"My brother-in-law's aunt's nanny's third nephew works in the pub and said that Niuniu stared at Medusa's portrait that night..."
"How does your brother-in-law's aunt's nanny's third nephew know so many things?"
"None of your business!"
Dick looked around awkwardly, "You can let me compete, but I think I will win. How about each of you give me ten Siren Coin."
"What? Damn humans, they are so greedy! Are you actually afraid that you will lose?"
Dick put his fingers on his chin as if thinking, and suddenly shook out the jingling money bag from the space badge:
"Why don't you use this as a lottery ticket? One hundred Siren silver coins are enough to buy half a tavern's worth of good wine."
As he said this, he handed the cowboy hat the money bag.
"Why is this human being so confident?"
"Damn it, he actually tricked me. Does he really think he can win?"
"Otherwise, I'll bet on him to win."
Most fishmen have seen the scene where Dick easily defeated Niuniu, so they all bet their money on Dick.
However, there are also a few people who bet their money on Niuniu.
"You bastards, why don't you believe in the strength of your fellow fishmen? You will lose miserably!"
The cowboy hat ignored the noise. Seeing that Niuniu and Dick had stretched out their hands to take a stance by the stone table, he quickly announced:
"Then, the battle for the defending championship is about to begin. The opponents are humans--Dick and fish-men...Niuniu~"
