Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 289 The Imprisoned Mermaid (8)

"You really are causing me distress."

Reg was reluctant to damage her beautiful scales, but he also wanted to make her suffer.

After removing the soaked quilt and mattress, Reg lay back on the bed and closed his eyes all night until dawn.

The next morning, Mark's voice was heard from the beach outside the ship.

Reg opened his eyes and saw the little mermaid sleeping with one hand hanging on the bedpost and the other hand resting on the edge of the water tank.

His sleeping face was peaceful and gentle, who could tell that he was thinking about killing someone with a knife last night.

Her long golden hair covered most of her body. Reg glanced at her and walked out of the room.

"Sir! We found the lake, but it's a bit far away, so we need more people to go ashore and get water."

Reg raised his chin, and the sailors on the first deck rowed their boats to the island to fetch water.

Reg returned to the room, walked to the map, picked up the quill pen, dipped it in ink, and drew a mark on the map.

Behind him, Molly opened her eyes and moved her aching arms, causing the handcuffs to make a slight noise.

Reg heard it, but didn't turn around.

Molly stretched her body, and the sound of chains knocking continued to be heard.

Reg put down the quill in his hand and turned to look at Molly.

He picked up the silver pot on the table, poured a glass of wine into the golden cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, he poured another glass.

"Clarin, my navigation map has lit up a little bit again."

Molly didn't react and thought he was talking to himself.

I almost forgot that the name Clarin was given to himself by him.

Reg looked at the map and took another swig of wine.

Soon the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

After a while, the familiar sound of birdsong came from outside the window again.

The eagle named Odin that Reg raised flew over again and landed on the fence on the second floor.

Molly was handcuffed and the wooden door of the bedroom was safely left open.

Molly and Odin looked at each other, and Odin flapped his wings.

Reg walked forward and saw that the sailors who had gone to fetch water were already returning not far away.

The ship was anchored not far from the beach, and all the sailors went out to fetch water. Soon the wooden barrels storing fresh water in the cargo hold were full.

It is not easy to find an island with fresh water resources in the ocean. People often get sick or even die at sea due to lack of fresh water.

It is summer now, and in order to store fresh water for a longer time, Mark added an appropriate amount of vinegar and wine to the buckets storing fresh water.

Mark looked at the full water storage and the drinks on the other side and smiled with satisfaction.

A few days ago, because there was very little fresh water left, the guys didn't have a good beer for a long time.

Add to that the large quantity of gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and food that we seized the past two days, and we can celebrate tonight.

So that night Mark asked the chef to prepare a sumptuous meal, and on the deck the sailors drank, played drinking games and danced under the candlelight.

Reg did not join them, but was alone on the second deck, leaning his elbows on the railing, drinking wine and enjoying the sea breeze.

The sailors' joy did not infect Molly. She saw the distant starry sky through the open wooden door. The stars covered the night sky and sparkled brightly.

The world is big, but Molly is trapped in this small water tank.

...

Some people were singing and dancing, while others were sitting around on the deck telling stories.

"Have you heard of the legend of the mermaid?"

"Hey! Buddy, don't talk too much, or the captain will hear you."

"Little one, the Captain doesn't get angry that easily."

An older sailor brushed the salt and gravel off his boots and said in a low voice, "Legend has it that mermaids use their singing to seduce sailors and then drag them into the deep sea."

"I used to think mermaids only existed in legends, but didn't we capture one before? It's still in the captain's bedroom."

"She is so beautiful! I mean it, I have never seen such a beautiful woman."

"Can mermaids really use their songs to enchant us?"

The old sailor narrowed his eyes and showed an unfathomable expression.

"I say, when we robbed the English merchant ship that day, did we all feel dizzy for a moment?"

"Afterwards, the captain shot Pike, who was sent by the captain to look after the mermaid, in the head!"

"Isn't it because Pike stole the treasure while the captain was away?"

"Rookie! You believe this?"

"Hey! To be honest, I seemed to hear some very beautiful singing that day."

"Oh! What the devil! Don't talk nonsense, old sparrow!"

"God, I never lie."

"But you said last time that you had seen Leviathan!"

"Kid, you believe this? He even boasted in the tavern that he had seen the Kraken!"

"So, Pike was actually bewitched by the mermaid that day?"

"To be precise, we were all bewitched by the mermaid."

"What about the captain? The captain doesn't seem to be there."

"That's because the captain is a prince appointed by His Holiness the Pope himself! It's impossible for him to be easily bewitched by a mermaid!" Mark suddenly appeared at this time and whispered to intimidate these bad guys.

"You dare to discuss His Royal Highness here? Do you want to die?"

"Be careful, His Royal Highness will throw you all into the oven and make apple pies!"

After Mark finished his threat, he quietly looked towards the second deck, and Reg was indeed standing there enjoying the breeze.

When everyone saw this, they scattered.

The singing and dancing continued until midnight.

The dance was over and the wine was almost finished. Seeing this, Mark prepared to let everyone rest and left three people to keep watch and patrol.

At this time, Reg on the second floor also walked into the room and stood in front of the window to observe the stars with the exquisite telescope.

After the sea, the stars are the second most observed thing by Reg.

The endless darkness in the distance was like a piece of velvet sprinkled with countless tiny diamonds.

The comet's tail is like a silver needle, shuttling between the diamond beads.

The sound of waves hitting the hull was continuous in my ears, the waves surged, and some water in the water tank splashed out.

Molly opened her eyes and observed Reg in the dim light of the candle.

Reg turned around and saw the little mermaid staring at him, so he curled his lips into a smile and walked up to Molly with the cup in hand.

"Clarin, you said there shouldn't be only one mermaid like you in this deep sea, right?"

Molly didn't respond. Reg looked down at her and held her chin with his hand, forcing her to look up at him.

"It's strange that apart from you, there's not even a mermaid corpse in Mermaid Bay."

The place marked on the mermaid map he had snatched before was exactly the area where the mermaids lived, called Mermaid Bay.

It was near there that he captured Molly and brought her aboard.

If there is one, there will be two. Reg doesn't believe that there is only one mermaid in the world.

But according to the news Odin brought, there was no sign of a mermaid, not even the remains of a mermaid.

The fishing nets also caught some useless small fish.

When Reg heard the sailors mention mermaids tonight, he thought of this issue.

Is Clareen the only mermaid in this world?
