At the same time.

Li Erpang, Ning You and Xiao Chuer formed a team to fight the monsters in the new leveling area.

After being together for so long, although they don’t like each other, the configuration of this team is very reasonable.

As Li Erpang became larger and larger, his defense was terrifyingly high. Behind him, he formed a "bond" with the magic sword Susu. Li Erpang was alone, carrying a big shield and pressing it against the other two, saring mockery, attracting the attention of the monster.

At the same level, the monster's attack is equivalent to tickling for him.

One tank, two DPS, and the monsters are very efficient.

Although Luo Miya didn't recognize her way, she recognized her here and had some impression of her. She actually found what Luo Miya mentioned as "white beach".

But when they arrived at the "beautiful" white beach that Romiya mentioned, they were stunned at the same time.

Wherever you see, it is deserted.

In the vast white fine sand, there is a pit about the size of a Moonlight Village.

The pit was also covered with fine sand.

Not to mention humans, there is not even a monster.

The dry and hot climate and the rise of hot air actually cause the distant scenery to be slightly distorted, causing light refraction.

"How could it be?"

In the water bottle, Luo Miya looked at the "white beach" that was completely different from the one in her memory, and was also stunned.

"Romia remembers that there are beautiful white shells everywhere in the white beach."

“There is a clear lake here.”

“The lake is covered with red and white corals.”

Mini Romiya lowered her head in the water bottle, murmured in a sad voice: "But why did they all disappear? Where Kenai listened to Romiya singing..."

Ning You listened silently and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait, you said there were originally a lot of corals here?"

Xiao Chu'er noticed that Ning's tone was strange: "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's a big mistake," Ning You frowned and said in a low voice: "In theory, corals are aquatic organisms called 'coral polyps' that grow, die, and accumulate over time. Don't forget that the 'worldview' of this world is surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds."

"Although the 'Sea of ​​Clouds' also has the word 'Sea', it is essentially cloud. You always say that the game settings do not need to be delved into, but the settings in a successful game always need to be logically self-consistent, otherwise it will cause a lot of complaints. A successful game will put some effort into the world view, and even a fantasy game will try to make the world view logically reasonable."

Xiao Chu'er understood Ning You's words, frowned slightly, and exclaimed: "You mean..."

Ning You sighed lightly: "Either the game designer is the one who has given up on the idea of ​​telling the players logic. Or it is..."

"This place used to be a sea! At least it was a lake."

“…”

...

In the end, the three of them were on the white beach and had no gains.

But they found this place not for the sake of gain.

Luo Miya saw that the white beach had become a dead place and was in a low mood.

After finding this place, Ning You and the other two successfully found the village that Luo Miya mentioned.

Since Luo Miya said that the village was full of salvage workers and searched along the shore, it was easy to find it.

——【Yasim Village】.

There is a small port in Yasim village.

There are many small floating boats docked in the port.

These floating boats can only accommodate several people, and are not fast. These floating boats cannot be used to sail between giant beasts.

When Ningyou and his men passed by the small port, they happened to see a small floating boat that was salvaged from the overseas clouds.

The salvager was wearing a diving suit-like equipment, and on the round hood, there was a pipe connected to the aerobatic.

The salvagers use the pulling force generated by this pipeline to enter the sea of ​​clouds, salvage various relics sunk in the sea of ​​clouds, and make a living.

"May I ask, do you know Kenai?"

Ning You walked forward and asked.

Originally, the villagers looked at the three of them with vigilance.

But when Xiao Chu'er came forward, the villagers became enthusiastic in an instant.

And when they heard that they knew Kenai, they happily and happily pointed out the way for Xiao Chu'er.

"...You have a very high charm."

Xiao Chu'er smiled a little smugly: "It's average, probably only two or three times that of ordinary people."

“…”

In Yasim Village, there are not many pedestrians on the road.

It seems that most of them went to sea to salvage.

While walking on the road, the three of them paid attention to whether there were any exclamation marks on the NPC's forehead from time to time.

But they didn't want to try some of the running errands that rewarded small profits, so they simply went straight to the "Kinae's house".

When I came to the place I mentioned by several salvage workers, it was a small bungalow. I guess the family environment of Kenai was barely well-off and not too shabby.

An old woman in simple clothes was pushing a flatbed cart and using the vivid illustrations on the flatbed cart to tell stories to the children around her with a smile on her face.

Ning You and the other two walked forward.

"Once upon a time, there was a handsome salvage man,"

"One day, he met a mermaid..."

When the old woman approached, she was stunned when she told her story with a storyteller.

It actually tells the story of the mermaid.

Originally, they wanted to go straight to the topic and ask Kenai where he was. But when they found out that the old woman was telling the story of a mermaid, they joined the ranks of children and listened quietly to the follow-up of the illustration story.

But as they listened... the three of them changed their faces.

At the beginning, I listened to it with the mood of listening to love stories.

After all, this start is a typical mermaid love story.

But no one expected that the style of painting suddenly changed and turned into a thriller.

The old woman quickly switches to the next illustration.

In the vivid illustration, a mermaid with green face and fangs scared the little kids to scream.

But although the little kids screamed, they did not look too frightened on their faces. It seemed that they had heard this story more than once.

The story is very simple from beginning to end.

Once upon a time, a salvager went out to sea to salvage and met a fish. Oh no, mermaid.

If the mermaid is out of the water for too long, it will turn into bubbles and disappear, so the salvager is kind to save the mermaid.

Before meeting the mermaid, the salvager already had a beautiful wife who was about to be married. She had a happy life and was about to reach the peak of her life.

But after saving the mermaid, the handsome young man hid the mermaid on the white beach, ran out of the village every night to listen to the mermaid singing.

Really, it's just a simple singing, the kind.

Later, the mermaid returned to her hometown.

The salvager was as if he had been cursed, and he was getting thinner and thinner day by day.

Finally...dead.

"No one can listen to the mermaid song. Once you hear it, you will become like the salvager and be fascinated! Haha, do you want to listen?"

"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!"

The children seemed to have known the old woman's scary routine for a long time, but they were really scared, covering their ears one by one and scattering.

In Xiao Chu'er's arms, Luo Miya listened to the sad story from beginning to end and patted the inside of the water bottle hard.

"No, no, Kenai... Kenai is still alive, he promised to come to me one day."

Something seems to be wrong with this task.

Ning You smiled bitterly, and he walked forward: "Is Kenai at home?"

The old woman smiled and looked at the three of them: "Oh? Are you Kenai's friends? He went to sea to salvage and came back tonight. Otherwise, you come in and sit down. Kenai doesn't have many friends, so I'll stay for dinner tonight."

Li Erpang had already been hungry and rushed to agree.

When Luo Miya heard that Kenai was fine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stopped making trouble in Xiao Chu'er's arms.

Until evening.
