Chapter 3035: Chapter 1011: Bad News and Good News Brought by a Fish

The fact that the fishermen caught a mermaid outside the harbor instantly became today’s viral news. All the players in Charldo Harbor rushed over, planning to witness the legendary mermaid’s charm. Unfortunately, the fishermen swiftly sent the injured Mermaid back to the Transia Embassy for treatment, leaving the players disappointed.

But that’s alright.

Because Half hanging brother already uploaded photos and text records to the forum, and the most striking thing is that the group of fishermen even took a photo with the unconscious mermaid. How to describe the composition? Four or five big burly men and an unconscious woman, with the woman in the middle... um, you know what I’m describing, and if you actually know, it means you can’t go to heaven, buddy.

In short, it’s filled with the fishermen’s unique adaptive bragging mode.

However, this can also be considered a "unexpected reward." Although they didn’t achieve a hidden accomplishment, this incident basically marked the beginning of diplomatic relations between Transia and the Kingdom of Atlantean Mermen.

Of course, the unfortunate mermaid is closely guarded in the embassy with visits prohibited for another reason.

Three Five Battles’ speculation was right; her injuries aren’t just simple external wounds.

"Subspace pollution... without a doubt."

The Grand Duke of Triss took on the role of a doctor this time, completed the examination of the Mermaid lying in the big fish tank, and then turned to explain to a few fishermen who were watching the excitement:

"Judging by the corrosion, ulceration, and dullness of the scales on her tail, you can tell she’s been injured for quite some time, at least more than three days. Mermaids are a race protected by the Ocean God Leviathan, and their self-purifying power in seawater is extremely impressive.

For this Mermaid to get injured to this extent, she must have encountered a rather terrifying battle before.

She likely became delirious while resisting the subspace corrosion, drifted to the harbor along the ocean current, and accidentally got captured by you using a fishing rod."

At this point, even the well-experienced Grand Duke of Triss was a bit speechless. She looked at the few fishermen beside her with a strange expression and said:

"You can be regarded as unprecedented and unmatched. As far as I know, this should be the first time in history that a Mermaid was caught with a fishing rod and fishing line, and according to the Atlantean Kingdom’s tradition of recording every trivial matter, I estimate that this event will remain prominently on the Atlanteans’ historical stone tablets for a long time.

And your names will also be recorded, considered a not too big nor too small achievement."

"Ding! Hidden achievement ’Mermaid Good, Black Loach Bad’ obtained! Personal achievement points +10."

The moment Triss finished talking, the adventure assistants of several fishermen involved in the incident immediately popped up the achievement entry.

As the primary responsible party for the first incident of catching the Mermaid, Three Five Battles even got an extra hidden title "Mermaid Angler," the effect of which is that wearing it will attract more attention from Atlantean Mermaids and are likely to trigger hostility.

This instantly made Three Five Battles a bit unable to hold back.

Hey, this thing looks like a negative status, doesn’t it?

"Well, my courageous spirits, I heard about the ’feat’ you accomplished today on my way back, and the news spread so fast that I estimate even the rats in the sewer are discussing it, heard you caught a mermaid with your bare hands?"

Sir Morphy’s mocking voice rang from outside the door.

Just returned from the Steam Lord’s mansion, he was still wearing a gorgeous ceremonial outfit, and Officer Adel, standing beside him, also had a strange smile, evidently because the feat accomplished by Three Five Battles and others had already spread throughout the entire city.

Though it sounds bizarre, Morphy believed that this kind of peculiar promotion about Transia people is at least better than news like "Transia producing barbarians."

"How did she get injured this severely? Moreover, the subspace corrosion is deepening, no wonder she can’t wake up, this poor little thing is dreaming now, a nightmare she can’t ever wake from."

As the continent’s first-class "subspace problem-solving expert," Morphy came forward without needing to closely sense, just observing the Omega glimmer jumping at his fingertips told him the Mermaid was in trouble, but this time he didn’t use the slap treatment method, rather gentlemanly extended his finger and touched the unconscious Mermaid’s bluish forehead.

With the initiation of Omega purification power, the Mermaid lying like salted fish in the bathtub immediately struggled and uttered a hideous scream, causing several fishermen to rush forward to hold her down, but the Holy Master was unexpectedly slapped by the Mermaid’s huge tail and fell out with a bang.

Speaking of the Mermaid’s tail...

Alright, it indeed is very large.

And compared to a typical fish tail, it’s evidently more magnificent and dazzling, the fin displays a ribbon-like arrangement similar to a goldfish tail, making one imagine the beautiful scenery it would create when swaying in the water.

As for her upper body, there’s little to say.

Not that she’s not pretty; mermaids are renowned for their beauty on the continent, otherwise why would they be called ’mermaids’? It’s mainly because Morphy is already accustomed to the flamboyant faces of Triss and Adel, finding it hard to muster more interest in the delicate features of the mermaid before him.

Hmm, the outcome of elevated aesthetic standards is like this; while still able to perceive beauty, it’s challenging to have the heart profoundly moved by ordinary beauty anymore.
