Claire asked the other party many questions, but the information obtained was not much.
Judging from Mental Connection, the other party did not lie, and indeed had lost his memory.
This is a bit difficult to handle. Claire originally wanted to rescue the other party and see if he could set up a line with that Merfolk Kingdom, and then resell the pearls and treasures under the sea.
Now the other party has lost his memory and can't even remember the route home. The sea is so vast that it is difficult to find the way back.
Finally, after Claire confirmed that the other party was not in danger, he placed her in the hospital and left her to find a companion for Rona. Just keep it for now and see if it suddenly regains its memory in the future. Anyway, it won't be short of a mouthful of food for the other person.
After finishing the matter here, Claire left the hospital and returned to the Baronial Manor to continue studying magic. I originally wanted to see how Isaac's airship test flight was going, but after thinking about it, I gave up the idea. The journey was too far, so I might as well learn a few more spells.
While Claire was studying magic at home, the story of a fisherman going out to sea to catch a mermaid had spread to Nafu City.
"Hey! Do you know the story of the mermaid?"
"Who doesn't know? My child asks me to tell her all the Viscount's fairy tales every day when she comes back. I have memorized them all."
"Let me tell you, there is a mermaid in the hospital where Dr. Rona is!"
"?! Don't lie to me. I'm so smart and I won't let you fool me!"
"Really! It was caught by Ford when they went out to sea to fish."
"Seriously? I thought it was all made up by the Viscount to deceive the children!"
"Hey! That's fine, what are you doing back home?!"
"I'll go home and take the ax and go to the river to try the story of the river god."
"..."
"How are you doing? Wait for me, I'm going too!"
"Hey! Did you hear? There is a mermaid in our Nafu City."
"I've heard, I've heard. She looks pretty. She has a nose and eyes."
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the fishermen who caught the mermaid have seen it with their own eyes. It's really beautiful."
"Is her lower body really a fish tail?"
"You are stupid. Didn't the Viscount say in the story that a mermaid is a mermaid whose upper body is human and the lower body is fish!"
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't know how beautiful it is."
"How about we go take a look, it's at Dr. Rona's place."
"The Viscount has already said, don't disturb Dr. Rona if you have nothing to do... Isn't it not good for us to do this?"
Before he finished speaking, the other party stretched out his arm and said firmly, "Come on, give me a stick on my arm. I'll be considered injured, so it won't be okay."
"You are a cruel person, come on, give me a stick on my thigh, let's go together!"
Half a minute later, the two helped them walk outside the hospital where Rona was located, but they were blocked by the crowd in front of them before they even got close.
Both of them stood on tiptoe and couldn't see the entrance to the hospital, which was blocked by heads.
"Why are there so many people?"
The onlookers in front turned around and explained, "We are all here to see the mermaid, aren't you?"
"Of course we..." The man with the injured thigh said subconsciously, but before he could finish his words, another person covered his mouth.
"What mermaid? We have never heard of it. We are here to see Dr. Rona. You guys who are just watching the show, please don't block us here, okay?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a disdainful laugh from the other party, "Tsk, you think you are the only ones who have thought of this method. There are already forty or fifty patients in front of you two. Even if you queue up, you two won't be able to get your turn."
After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and frowned. Then the injury was in vain.
Regan broke into Claire's study and shouted, "The young master is not in good condition. The hospital where Dr. Rona is located is surrounded again!"
"Huh?" Claire covered the magician on the table and asked, "What's going on?"
"Those people all said they wanted to see the mermaid with their own eyes, and then they gathered together at Dr. Rona's place." Regan wiped the sweat on his forehead, "But they all still obeyed the rules and did not break in. They just watched from the outside."
"Let's go and have a look," Claire stood up and walked to the door, continuing, "I don't know what's so interesting about this. Isn't it just a shark that is half human and half fish? After seeing too much, it's actually no different from those orcs Half-beastman, it's just a bit rarer."
Regan responded, "Young master, your fairy tales should be too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Otherwise, if those fishermen caught such a strange creature, they would kill it with a harpoon, and they would not send it here for treatment."
Claire nodded. Because of their preconceived influence, the people who had heard the story of the mermaid had a good subjective impression of the mermaid Eve. After all, in fairy tales, she represents beauty, strength, love and other good qualities that people yearn for.
Regan continued, "I just rushed over there. The situation there is that even if we sell tickets for them to go in and visit, they will probably be willing to spend the money."
As soon as Regan finished speaking, Claire, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and stopped.
"What's wrong, young master?" Regan asked quickly.
Claire's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had found the value of this mermaid.
"It's okay." Claire responded casually, "Let's go there first."
Claire rushed to the scene. Before his body fell from the air, the crowd of people below suddenly dispersed as if they had encountered the hawkers from the urban management.
Claire has said before that you should not come to Rona if there is no matter what. Now they are blatantly disobeying the order.
Claire is a bit dumbfounded. If an outsider saw it, he would think he was some heinous bad guy..
After the crowd dispersed, there were still about a dozen people who were unable to evacuate quickly due to injuries. They could only stay where they were and watch Claire helplessly.
One of them, who had an injured thigh, scolded the man who had just helped him over with an injured arm. Damn it, you helped me when you came. I ran away as fast as I could. If I had known better, I wouldn't have kicked my legs, otherwise I would still be able to run away now.
Claire waved his hand, "Regan, take them to other clinics for medical treatment."
Claire has probably scanned it and found that the average doctor can cure the condition of the people here, especially the one with a thigh injury. He could get out of bed and walk the next day after lying in bed for one day.
"Yes!" Regan immediately organized the disabled people below and led them towards other clinics.
When leaving, the dozen or so people turned back one step at a time, hoping to see the so-called mermaid with their own eyes at the last moment.
"Are you here again?" Rona asked, squatting on a small bench.
"It would be more appropriate if you were holding a rice bowl now." Claire commented casually.
Rona said hello, "???"
"It's okay." Claire waved his hand, skipped the topic, and asked, "Where is the shark?"
"What about that!" Rona pointed at a large water tank less than half a meter in front of her and said.
At exactly this moment, Eve suddenly emerged from the water tank, flicking her golden hair, and her beautiful face emerged from the water. Water droplets flowed down her cheeks, down her snow-white neck to her collarbone, and then continued down, like a hibiscus emerging from the water.
Claire raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. "Did you raise her in a water tank?"
Rona stood up, walked in front of Eve, helped her tidy up the messy hair on her forehead, and replied, "She is a mermaid, where can she live if she doesn't live in the water? It's okay, I added salt to the water."
Eve didn't resist and obediently let Rona play with her hair.
"?!" Claire tilted his head. Is this the key to the problem? Is it reasonable for you to add salt?
