Chapter 160 Kalena's Scales
The wandering fish Feng Chan learned from the cutlassfish what kind of group this was. Fish that had committed serious mistakes would have a mark on their bodies. If they entered the city, their bodies would glow red and they would be expelled by the soldiers.
But the punishment for criminals in the underwater world is actually much lower than that on the blue planet. The most serious death penalty will not be imposed once a year, and most unforgivable crimes are punishable by exile at most, especially for mermaids. The punishment for their own kind is even lower.
At the same time, stray fish are not allowed to approach the main hunting areas, so they can only live in more remote locations.
If they have offspring, the mark will be inherited, and the glowing color will turn into light black. They will be allowed to enter the city, but will generally be discriminated against.
"It's too dangerous outside. Didn't the Shiori family send anyone to look for him? I hope Ronnie Shiori can come back alive." Feng Chan asked.
Lu You: "Yes, we even sent Ronnie's sister Kalena out, but still no news."
Feng Chan: "I heard someone saw Ronnie Shiori appear at the edge of the Dark Zone. Could he have gone in?"
The clerk said, "The Dark Zone is too dangerous. A few years ago, a purple-level boss went in, and there's been no news since. Purple-level bosses are few and far between. The Shiori family is unwilling to sacrifice the family's future for Ronnie."
Lu You: "If you ask me, it's Ronnie's own fault. He had to make a scene when things were going well. It's already good enough for the family to do this."
……
After finding out some more information, Feng Chan left first. She didn't have enough money to buy the red refreshing bell bracelet.
She actually wanted to steal it, but according to Luyou, each floor of the Crystal Palace here is guarded by red-level soldiers and several blue-level soldiers, so it is very safe.
The main city's Crystal Palace has a total of 8 floors, which is equivalent to 8 red-level beasts, which cannot be defeated.
After leaving the Crystal Palace, Feng Chan searched for a while before finding the corresponding road to the shop of her boss who had tricked her.
The store was still open, and even Jin Yue was inside. Although I knew that the mermaids didn't punish their people severely, this was still too light. They should be locked up for a few more days at least.
But Feng Chan soon discovered something was wrong. There seemed to be a lot of mermaids in the shops around her home, and they were taller than many soldiers.
The last time I came here, most of the people were male mermaids. They wouldn’t be waiting for me, right?
Feng Chan didn't get too close. She pretended to choose something in a nearby store and let the secret paper mannequin out.
The sneaky little paper man has a bit of spirituality in him. After Feng Chan selects the target, it always chooses a hidden place to go. When necessary, it will pretend that it is just a piece of paper, drifting with the sea.
Feng Chan looked around and was about to leave when she was approached by a male merman, who also asked her where she bought her accessories. After a simple reply, she left and went to a new store to continue shopping.
After wandering around for an hour, the secret paper man finally came back with something.
After getting the things, Feng Chan immediately left the area.
After running for just one minute, I saw a mermaid with black hair and a blue tail on the road. He had nothing on him and looked so plain that he didn't seem like someone from this world.
Isn't this a fellow villager? But the situation is unclear, and Feng Chan didn't stop to get to know him or rob him, fearing he might be pursued. Good luck to him.
Many mermaids around looked at him curiously, because his color matched the mermaid on the wanted poster, but his hair was too short, and his Adam's apple and narrow chest made him look male. The person on the wanted poster was a minor, so he should be genderless.
There did feel something strange about the human-turned-merman. He came through the card and came in out of curiosity. He didn't even look at the wanted poster. Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care much because it wasn't him on the wanted poster.
More than ten minutes later, the boss realized that something was missing and hurried to check. At the same time, the female mermaids quickly rushed to the store. After learning that something was missing, they became extremely anxious and stopped all the customers in the store, including those in the surrounding stores, for investigation.
In the end, no one found any problems. The identity of each mermaid was very clear and it was impossible for them to be fake.
But unfortunately, because the male mermaid was too eye-catching, especially his short buzz cut and bare body that did not conform to the mermaid aesthetic, he was reported by the public and arrested.
The standard feature of a male mermaid is long hair, or at least short hair that reaches the ears with personality. He may have more or less accessories on his body, but the combination must complement each other. Only then can he be a qualified male mermaid. He is too abnormal.
……
Feng Chan looked at the items in the backpack. This time, the little paper man only stole one item, but the quality was unexpectedly good, even a little outrageous.
Heart Scale (Purple): The heart scale of the mermaid Kalenna, defense value.
She counted the defense value of 50 twice before she was sure. However, it was still early for her to be teleported, and it felt a bit hot in her hands. Would someone come after her?
Feng Chan didn't dare take it out, for fear that the smell would get on her hands.
But why does the shop owner have Kalena's heart-protecting scale from the Shiori family?
A female mermaid will have three important scales in her life: the intimate scale that falls at birth, the initial heart scale that is born after choosing her gender in adulthood, and the heart-protective scale that becomes stronger as her strength increases.
The female mermaids are stronger and cannot do without the original heart scale. The male mermaids only have the intimate scale. After choosing a partner, the mermaids will exchange the intimate scales. If the relationship is better, the female mermaid will even give him the important heart-protecting scale.
Some mermaids who are short of money will choose to sell their heart-protecting scales and primordial scales. Of course, this is only a minority among the minority.
Wasn't Kalena out looking for Ronnie? She actually gave such an important scale to the boss for protection, which was a bargain for herself. Feng Chan got the thing and didn't care about the idea of stealing something during the fast transmission today, and slipped out of the city directly.
If the Shiori family could be found through the Heart-Protecting Scale, she would buy a little more time and wait for the transmission time. Purple-grade items are quite scarce now, and this one is of the protective type.
Feng Chan swam towards Ai Li City. She was a little worried that she would implicate her and wanted to see what was going on.
She swam all the way to this small town smoothly and encountered no pursuers. It would not be difficult to catch up with her at their speed.
There is no one here yet. It seems that they have no way to find her through the Heart Scale, or maybe they can't find her because it is in her backpack. In any case, she will not take out the Heart Scale before teleporting back home.
After entering the city smoothly, Feng Chan quietly came to the vicinity of Ai Li's house, but did not see her.
Soon she came to Dick's house again, lowered her head and pretended to fiddle with something in her hand, but in fact she was eavesdropping.
"Don't be sad. Why don't you go see Ellie tomorrow?"
Depressed, Dick turned over and faced away from his friend who was speaking.
The friend had to persuade him again: "You can't go on like this. Ellie is now a soldier in the main city. The more you despair, the further away you will be from her."
Hearing this, Dick spoke sullenly, "But she doesn't want me anymore. What can I do? It would be embarrassing to go."
