Chapter 1273 The merman who can't survive the coming-of-age ceremony
The fish tail of the merman can transform into legs, land on land, and live like a normal human race. And once they set foot on land, the life span of the merman will pass like that of a normal human, and they will grow old and die. ”
"The merman tribe has a rule, in order to prevent the population from multiplying too much, the adult merman, most of the time, must go to the land, like human beings, birth, old age, sickness and death, in order to maintain the stability of the number of the merman population."
When Evelace said this, her face flashed with guilt and sadness, "And Everea is one of the few mermaids who has not spent a coming-of-age ceremony, cannot transform her legs, can only live in the sea for the rest of her life, and cannot even marry the person she loves." ”
The coming-of-age ceremony of the merman clan is to let the merman float to the sea on the day of his fifteenth birthday, and make an adult vow to the merman clan in front of the bright moon in the sky.
In return, the Luna will rain down a Moonlight.
The merman who performs the coming-of-age ceremony should take this moonlight, find the witch of the merman clan, and give her his merman tears and moonlight in exchange for a moonlight shark blade that belongs to him, and then, with this moonlight shark blade, cut his merman's tail in half.
When the morning comes, the tail of the merman, which has been cut in half, will become legs.
This is a coming-of-age ceremony that is only once in a lifetime for every merman, so whenever a merman wants to become an adult, the whole family will attach great importance to it.
There are very few mermaids who can't celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony.
"The mermaid clan has a rule that before they are minors, they are not allowed to surface in the sea, let alone run on land. However, Everea was naughty at the time, taking advantage of the family's inattention, and went to the beach, but as a result, she was pushed onto the beach by the waves, and she was dying and could not come back. ”
Evelace muttered, falling into memory, "At that time, I went with Evereya, Everea was stranded, I was very anxious, but I had no choice but to risk being reprimanded and punished by the patriarch, and go back to move the rescuers. But before my father could bring someone to save Evela, she went back to the bottom of the sea on her own. ”
"At that time, we were very surprised, but Everea was fine, and my father and they thought that it was the high tide and that she had swam back by herself, so they only scolded us. Later, Everea secretly told me that it was not she who returned to the bottom of the sea that day, but a passing Terran man who carried her and sent her back to the sea. She was saved by him and fell in love with the man. ”
Speaking of which, no matter how stupid Mo Yan was, he also guessed the plot behind, "The merman clan does not allow the merman and the human race to marry?" ”
"Yes. Actually, I'm to blame for this incident. ”
Evelace wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, "I was so shocked that I told my father. My father was furious, but Everea refused to admit it, and when he could not find any evidence, he ordered me to keep her in her room and inform him when Everea was going to find the man. ”
"Later I learned that the date of the meeting between Everea and the man was set for her fifteenth birthday, so the day before her birthday, I found an opportunity to give her a deep dream, and she slept for three days, missing the coming-of-age ceremony on her birthday, and also missed the time to meet the man."
I didn't know that when I missed my birthday, I would live for the rest of my life."
