He's a sick Cinderella

Chapter 137 [004] He is a little fish 4
The Lord's Castle at night is very quiet.

The guards were patrolling the castle, their footsteps were very light, and the lights in the corridor were a little dim, but they still allowed people to see the road ahead clearly.

In a spacious and gorgeous room, a girl has just finished bathing and is sitting on a big white bed, reading a book by an oil lamp.

The packaging of the book is old, the pages are yellowed, and the cover is tattered. The title of the book on it is not very clear, but the two characters of "Exploring Secrets" can be vaguely seen.

This is a handwritten book.

The writer is Earl Custer who participated in the circumnavigation of the world ten years ago.

Navia once held a round-the-world voyage, and most of the funders were nobles and officials, and the royal family had little interest in sailing.He handed over all matters to the earl.

This book records Custer's entire voyage.

Earl Custer is a lunatic who explores mysteries. He is obsessed with recording all kinds of strange natural phenomena and creatures, and writes them into books.

However, the voyage was unsuccessful, and the ship sank in the sea on a stormy night.

No life.

Nobles and courtiers were full of invective and resentment against the voyage.

Because a lot of money and manpower were spent, but they didn't get what they wanted.

This book was cut out from the belly of a big fish when fishermen were fishing.

Fishermen are illiterate.It was given to a local parade merchant, who entered Navia for foreign trade and sold it to a certain market owner.

The books were soaked in water, and the font on the front was almost invisible, and it was unknown who wrote it. Almost no one would buy such a dilapidated thing.

However, the moment An Yeran saw the book, he knew who it belonged to.

The name on the cover of the book is unclear, but there is a pattern of eyes, which is the logo that Earl Custer specially printed for himself - the Eye of Truth.

This is very likely, it is Earl Custer's last words.

After buying it, as expected.

An Yeran had read Custer's articles at the court, and his articles were full of strange fantasies and desires for exploration, so she was familiar with his fonts.

Although the previous content is not clear, but the latter can be read a little bit.

It's all about the earl's experience at sea, and some of his daily life.

When she flipped through the middle pages, she suddenly found that the style of the text seemed to be different!

[Today is the second day. On the first day of entering the new field, I heard singing at night. At first I didn’t pay attention to it. Maybe a crew member missed his family, so he used singing to ease his missing. 】

[On the third day, the sea was calm during the day, and after a while, you will probably be able to see new land. Last night, I heard singing again, which was louder than the night before. Although I understand the thoughts of the crew, it really affects my rest. up!I don't know if I will sing tomorrow night or not. If there is tomorrow night, I will really be angry! 】

【Oh My God!Sure enough, she is still singing!And this time it was so loud that people couldn't sleep!It's annoying!Didn't God tell you not to disturb others' rest? !No, I want to go out and have a look! 】

After this page is written, there is a large section of blank space.

An Yeran frowned slightly, even turned two pages, but didn't see his words.

Impossible, there should be.

She jumped directly to the last page, turned from back to front, and finally on the seventh-to-last page, she saw Earl Custer's extremely flustered handwriting!

[It's foggy outside!Oh My God!God!What are those things? !They came out of the mist with human bodies and fish tails!Their hands are webbed paddles!There's something wrong with that singing!There is definitely a problem!The crew looked dull, they, they jumped off the ship! 】

【Mermaid!I recognized it!Those things are mermaids!The legendary mermaid! 】

[They are coming up!The crew members who refused to jump into the sea were dragged down by them!Oh My God!What did I see! ?Blood!It's all blood!They, they ate my crew! 】

[The legend is true!it is true! 】

[I know I won't survive tonight!I've been spotted!I spend my last days documenting this stuff!Anyone who sees my notes please make sure these things are made public!It's over!They hold me back!Mermaids, it's true!is true--】

"boom!"

A sudden gust of night wind blows the window open!

An Yeran was startled, and suddenly raised her head!
She put down the book and walked to the window, the sound of the ebb and flow outside was particularly obvious.

The wind was a little strong, she had no choice but to close the window and fasten it tightly.

The windows are transparent glass. Navians discovered the method of firing glass 13 years ago. In the past ten years, glass products have continued to develop and are now used in various fields of life.

The light in the room was dim, she sat back on the bed, her face was calm, but her heart was full of turmoil.

She couldn't describe how she felt at the moment.

Although Custer's words are full of fantasy, he will never lie!

The text stops at the word "true" at the back.

She didn't know what Custer had experienced, but from the meaning expressed in the text, she could probably guess that Custer might have been eaten.

An Yeran lifted the quilt and wrapped herself up.

The oil lamp by the bed was still beating the fire, reflecting on the girl's face.

She suddenly felt a chill.

Back chills.

The mermaid legend is true.

They appear in foggy weather, lure fishermen and sailors with their songs, and then eat them.

In three days she will go to sea.

From the letter sent by An Yewen, it can be guessed that the guy should be in a small island country going west, not too far from Navia, and not within the management of the Holy See.

The old book was placed on the bedside, An Yeran buried his head in the quilt, and fell asleep without turning off the oil lamp.

And after her breathing stabilized, the old book suddenly turned up automatically.

Obviously there is no wind.

When I turned to the word "true", my reading of the book suddenly stopped.

Then, it slowly turned to the last page of the book, where there was a line of text that was soaked in water and blurred.

An Yeran didn't notice before, there was a chilling sentence written there——

After eating humans, their fish tails became legs.

*
After the sound of running water, the text disappeared.

A faint shadow appeared on the head of the bed.

The boy closed the book and looked sideways at the girl beside him.

She was in a deep sleep, breathing lightly and gently.

The white hand slowly stroked the girl's face, the corners of the dark red lips were slightly hooked, and a strange light gradually appeared in the brown eyes.

His nails were a bit sharp, and the moment they touched his cheeks, some red marks appeared on the girl's face.

The boy raised his eyebrows slightly and withdrew his hand.

——The human body is too fragile.

Then, he turned around, came quietly, and then disappeared into the night without making a sound.

　When it was nine o'clock and found that there was no update, I realized that I had set the time wrong! ! !

　　I'm so sorry! ! !
