How to become a mermaid

Chapter 285 Penguin, Playing Games With Feet... No, Making Clothes!

"Planck! I wanted to ask just now, why did you suddenly speak so much faster?"

After all the penguins left, Samantel remembered to ask Planck this question.

He thought he was dreaming before, because Planck stopped stuttering, but was as fluent as everyone else, just like changing a seal.

"Hooh~hooh~" Hearing the question from Shaman Lair, Plank let out a simple and honest laugh.

Although the tone of his speech has changed, his laughter is still the same as before, and it hasn't changed at all.

"I didn't think there was any problem with my slow speaking before, because whether it was my parents or other clansmen, they would patiently wait for me to finish speaking slowly."

"Even if I go out into the sea, other fish will consider me as a doctor, and never rush me. Even Moni and the others will talk to me in a very aggressive tone, but they are not embarrassed by it. I."

"However, the experience of returning to my hometown this time reminded me that I can't go on like this forever!"

"I caused unnecessary problems because I couldn't express my thoughts in time. Although this matter has been resolved, if I encounter other troubles later, it will not be so easy to handle."

"I decided to change, so I asked Zorro to help me heal and concocted a potion that could make my speech clearer."

"So that's the case!" After listening to Planck's explanation, Shamanlear suddenly realized.

Hearing that Planck was able to communicate with himself clearly, Shamanleir was quite happy.

It's not that the old Planck was bad, it's just that listening to him was a bit difficult.

"Then do you always talk like this in the future?" Shaman Lair asked provingly.

"No." Planck shook his head, took out a small tube of light yellow potion from his pocket, and said to Shamanlael: "Slow talking is my birth defect. Although it does not affect my health, it is not so easy. cured."

"This tube of potion can help me improve my speech speed, but it can only last for three hours at a time, and I can only drink it once a day, otherwise my throat will hurt."

"When I need to talk a lot at once, I will drink this again. In normal times, I may have to trouble you to wait for me to finish."

After listening to Planck's words, Shamanleer nodded, smiled and said to him: "It's okay! It's not troublesome at all!"

Although it cannot be maintained all the time, three hours is not bad, and the efficiency will be higher when looking for Planck for advice in the future.

"Yeah Plank, you can speak slowly, we will wait for you." Alicia also comforted Plank with a smile.

"Thank you!" Encouraged by Shaman Lair and Alicia, Plank showed a happy smile on his face.

He felt that he was a particularly lucky seal. Except for Moni, he had never encountered a bad person in his entire life.

Sure enough, the smiling seals will not be too lucky!
Planck thought of Mooney, and Shamanleir thought of him too, but it was not Mooney who he thought of, but the boat he had lost to himself.

He had been in a coma for so long, and he didn't know what was going on with the Moni.

Thinking of this, Samantel sat up abruptly, and asked Planck eagerly:
"By the way, Plank, I have another question to ask you, where did our ship go, and how are Tess and Huck on board?"

Hearing the question from Shamanleir, Plank showed an expression on his face that he guessed that he would ask such a question, and replied:
"Don't worry! Our ship is now parked in a cave not far from here."

"It's where Zoro usually conducts experiments and grows medicinal herbs. The temperature is much higher than other places. Tess and Huck are safe staying there and there will be no problems."

"When you fully recover, I will take you to see them."

"That's it... That's great!" Knowing that the Moni has been properly placed, Shamanlear felt relieved.

The boat is second, it can be repaired if it breaks down, Tess and Huck can't be frozen, especially Tess is still at a critical moment, if something happens, he will blame himself to death.

After talking about the ship, Shamanlael asked Planck some other news about the North Pole.

Unknowingly, an hour or two had passed, and Shamanlaer suddenly heard a sound of "dong dong dong dong" coming from outside the igloo.

He looked at the door and saw that the penguins that had left the igloo had returned.

Several chubby northern white-crested penguins lined up, rolling their feet and pushing a few carts made of ice, and walked in through the entrance of the cave with a swaying body.

Shamanel noticed that there were several bundles of fluffy gray fluff pulled on the cart, as well as a few skins of [Pachyderm Whale].

Pachyskin whales are small whales that live in cold waters. Their size is not too big among whales, similar to killer whales, but the color is not black and white, but gray and black all over. They are distinguished by their frost-resistant and wear-resistant skin. famous.

It is said that their skin is harder than iron skin, and even megalodon sharks cannot bite through it. They are objects that basically no fish dare to provoke.

Shamanleir didn't understand why these penguins brought these things, and lay on the ice bed quietly watching their movements.

It is said to be an ice bed, but it is not cold at all. It is covered with several layers of thick animal fur, and the cold air below cannot penetrate at all.

And because Shamanleir is considered a patient for the time being, he is also covered with a layer of fur, which makes him feel warm and comfortable, giving him the feeling of returning to the earth for the winter and lying under a thick quilt.

"Boom!"

The penguins worked together to push the trolley into the igloo, and then a male penguin, which was obviously larger than the other penguins, came out of it.

It kicked and kicked a large block of ice, and came to Shamanleir.

"Ka Ka Ka Ka..." The sound of the ice cubes shattering sounded.

The penguin slowly carved a line of words on the ice with its paws, and pushed it forward to show Shaman Lyle and the others.

This penguin does not speak a common language like Zorro, and can only express itself in writing.

It's not dumb, and it's not that it's not smart enough to learn, but the vocal structure of northern white-crested penguins is not suitable for speaking a common language at all. They usually communicate in their own language, raising their heads and so on.

Because of drinking the potion, Zorro was able to communicate smoothly with Shaman Lear and the others.

The other penguins in the clan didn't need to contact the outsiders as frequently as it did, and most of them didn't drink this potion, so naturally they couldn't communicate directly.

Fortunately, most of them can write, and the writing is fairly clear.

Looking down at the ice on the ground, Samantel quickly understood what the penguins meant.

【Planke, and the other two visitors, welcome to the Piquefance Tribe. We are now going to measure your body size and make you some warm clothing. I hope you will cooperate. 】

With the current weather in the North Pole of minus [-] to [-] degrees, they would not be able to go out if they didn't wear thicker Shaman Lear, they could only stay in this igloo.

Alicia is now covered with several layers of animal fur, tied herself like a rice dumpling, and even her tail is covered tightly, but she still feels chilly.

Hearing that these penguins were going to make clothes for herself, her big beautiful eyes instantly shone with joy, and she said hastily, "Then I will trouble you! I can't wait any longer!"

After obtaining Alicia's consent, two penguins nodded, and together they held up a piece of pachyderm whale skin, and walked towards her shaking.

"Crackling..." The thick soles of the penguins stepped on the ice, making soft noises.

Covering Alicia's body with this two-centimeter-thick wide skin, and then tightening the edges, the penguins estimated the size of her body.

"Ahhh! Ahhh!" The body length is about [-] meters.

"Ooooh! Oohoo! Ooh!" Ninety, sixty, ninety.

"Woohoo! Woohoo!" Jot it down!

After measuring the data, the penguins held their heads up and chatted for a while, then lowered their heads, and began to peck and gnaw on the skin of the pachyderm whale with their long and pointed mouths.

"Deng-deng-deng-deng-deng-deng!"

Following the actions of the penguins, Shamanleir was surprised to find that small holes appeared on the skin of the pachyderm whale.

Being able to peck a hole in the skin of the hard pachyderm whale with its mouth shows that these penguins have extraordinary combat effectiveness, and they are far from being as naive as they appear on the outside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With the joint efforts of several penguins, the piece of whale skin was quickly cut to a suitable size.

Holding it, I gestured to Alicia twice, and after confirming that it was the right size, the penguins began to fill it with hair.

Penguins make clothes far less delicate than humans, the whole process is very simple and rough.

They came to the trolley where the fluff was placed, and pulled off pieces of thick young penguin fluff from it with the soles of their feet. Press it onto the whale skin.

Because the skin of the pachyderm whale is strong enough, it is not easy to be crushed. Every time the penguins stepped on it, a small hole was left on the sole of their feet, and the fluff was also inserted into the skin of the pachyderm whale.

The whole process is a bit like planting seedlings in the ground.

"Da da da da! Da da da da!"

The penguins swing their fat bodies and jump up and down on the whale skin.

The epidermis with a certain degree of toughness rebounded slightly after being under heavy pressure, and the touch of duangduang made these penguins smile, jumping on it harder like playing a trampoline game.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!" The penguins raised their heads and let out a high-pitched call.

Judging by the excited expressions on their faces, they seemed to be enjoying the process.

After jumping for about five or six minutes, the whale skin was covered with a thick layer of plush.

These gray fluffs are three to four centimeters long. Although they are fluffy and soft at first glance, when you look closely, you can find that each one is jagged, and there are many other things on their surface that are hard to see with the naked eye. to the tiny pores.

This special structure can keep warm better, and can also be fully waterproof, so that the water droplets falling on the fluff can quickly slide to the ground to avoid the trouble of freezing.

This high-quality plush comes from penguin chicks.

Every July and August is the molt period for the cubs of the northern white-crested penguin. Even if there is no exchange meeting, they will collect the feathers shed by the cubs and use them to make plush coats for some weak and sick little penguins. Help it survive the severe cold crisis.

Some penguins even keep some fluff for themselves after molting because they are reluctant to say goodbye to the fluff that grew up with them, or use these fluff to make a few small decorations to wear on their bodies.

Among the penguins who made Alicia's clothes, there was a penguin with a gray fur hat on its head.

"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!"

Maybe it was too happy to jump, the cap on the penguin's head slipped off, covering its eyes.

It shook its head, stretched out and pushed with its forelegs, straightened its little hat, and continued to jump on the whale skin.

"Da da da…"

Another two or three minutes later, the whale skin was covered with fluff, turning into a big fluffy blanket.

Seeing that it was almost the same, the penguins called each other twice,

"Oh woo! oh woo!"

They jumped off the whale skin and came to Alicia with the skin in their mouths.

"What's the matter, do you need my help?" Alicia asked them with a smile when she saw these big penguins staring at her forever expectantly.

"Oh!" The penguin in the little hat nodded.

It touched Alicia's palm with its head, then turned around twice, and dragged out an animal skin bag from the corner of the igloo.

There are several bundles of yellow ropes the size of wires and several long black needles inside.

Seeing these things in front of her, Alicia immediately understood what they meant.

She took the animal skin bag and said to the penguins: "Thank you, I will sew the clothes myself!"

"Oh!" Hearing Alicia's words, the penguins nodded happily, and their joy was beyond words.

They only like to step on the clothes, they don't like to sew clothes.

Penguins don't have clear-cut palms, so they can't perform grasping and other movements. The delicate work of sewing clothes needs to be done with the mouth a little bit, which is troublesome.

Since Alicia can do it by herself, they are also happy to be free.

"Da da da!"

After handing over the semi-finished clothes made with their feet to Alicia, the penguins hopped to the place where the cart was placed, picked up another piece of thick whale skin from above, and came to Shaman Lair.

"Oh woo! oh woo!" This little mermaid, it's your turn.

"I'll get up right away!" Seeing the penguins surrounding his bed, Shamanlell squirmed twice, and got out of the warm fur blanket.

As soon as he got up, he felt the cold of the Arctic, and his body was shivering with cold.

"Kakakakaka..."

Seeing Shamanleir's fangs trembling up and down, the penguins showed gloating expressions on their faces.

"Fufurfur~Fufurfur~"

The penguins laughed similarly to Zorro, and together they put the piece of whale skin on Shamanlell.

Surrounded by the thick whale skin, Samantel immediately felt better, his hands stopped shaking, his teeth stopped chattering, and the whole fish was refreshed.

It's a pity that this situation didn't last long. After measuring the size, the penguins took the whale skin away and went to the lower bunk to continue cutting it.

While they were busy, Samantel retreated back to the ice bed, wrapped his body in warm fur, and kept warm in the warm quilt.

If only this fur quilt could be worn and run, there is nothing warmer than a quilt...

About two and 10 minutes later, Samantel got the same plush blanket as Alicia.

Throwing the blanket on Shamanlael's bed, and pointing to the tools in Alicia's hand, the penguins bounced out of the room.

We're done, yes!
