Chapter 789 Meilushin's Seafoam Village
Paimon, hands on his hips, had just answered "Yes" with an air of superiority when Kong hurriedly offered an explanation.
"Paymon was joking, we were just passing through... Oh, and we still don't know your name or what you're doing here."
“Mameh, my name is Mameh. I was painting here just now, and those people wanted to trade my painting for Mora…”
Kong was suddenly startled. "Huh? You're really here to buy a painting? Am I ruining your business?"
Mameh said seriously, "That's not business. Business is about exchanging things that both parties need. I don't need something like Mora..."
One sentence from Paimon immediately filled him with respect, and he promptly elevated Mameh to the same level of wealth as Xu Ning.
Paimon asked cautiously, "Then you must be a very famous painter, right?"
Mameh nodded, pondering, "Famous? Indeed, a handsome and gentle collector I didn't know approached me to buy a painting, saying he could buy it with a lot of Mora. If he hadn't suddenly mentioned Mora, I would have just given the painting to him..."
Xu Ning and Kong Du rarely saw Paimon so enthusiastic, but after Mameh said those words, they both noticed Paimon's eyes light up, and immediately knew what this little white-haired guy was up to.
Sure enough, the little white-haired boy rubbed his hands together and asked with a grin, "Mameh, can I see your paintings too? I'm very interested in your artwork..."
I think you're more interested in how many Mora her paintings can sell for, aren't you?
Xu Ning and Kong exchanged a glance, but neither of them exposed Paimon's little scheme. After all, they could both see that Mameh was obviously very happy to hear that someone wanted to see her paintings.
Who would expose something that could make both kids happy?
“Since Paimon is interested, I’ll paint a portrait of each of you. Hmm, but they knocked over the paint bucket, so I need to go home.”
Xu Ning smiled and said, "We're just about to go in for an adventure anyway, so why don't we help you pack your art supplies and we can go back together?"
Mameh seemed to have never done anything with so many people before, and he jumped around happily.
Xu Ning walked over to the paint bucket that the gilded troupe had kicked over.
Bright red paint was spilled all over the ground, seeping into the soil and turning into a shocking dark red, like blood splattered.
Xu Ning extended a finger and dipped it into the bottom of the small bucket, rubbing some red paint onto his fingertip. The sticky, slippery texture...
With a motivating goal in mind, Kong and Paimon acted quickly, and soon they had tidied up the scattered art supplies on the ground.
Mameh pointed to the pool in front of him and laughed, "Go down from here and swim straight ahead, and you'll reach our village."
"Huh? Is this the village where the Merus gather?" Paimon asked in surprise.
"Yes, Haimo Village, everyone lives there, although many people from Meilushin have moved to the city..."
While they were still chatting, Xu Ning glanced at Katarina.
Caterpillar nodded subtly, indicating that their destination was a place called Haimo Village.
The seawater here is very warm.
The feeling of emptiness is like returning to the warmth of the womb; perhaps it is precisely in this environment that the Merusin clan can be born.
But Cattlepira's words immediately made him retract that idea.
"The Melusin race suddenly appeared more than four hundred years ago. If we really want to pinpoint the exact time, it was after our Narcissus Cross Society and the Shadow Chaser's Court fought a great battle here. Although I have been staying in Melo Peterburg since then and have never been here, I have enough reason to believe that their appearance must be related to Erinas."
Is the Melusin clan related to Erinus, the monster that nearly destroyed Fontaine?
Looking at Mameh, who was at the very front and moved as nimbly as a small fish darting through water, Kong thought that if that was really the case, it would be only natural.
Unless the Melusin clan migrated from elsewhere and carefully selected to be housed in Erinas's body, their birth must be inextricably linked to Erinas.
When you see a cluster of small houses together, you've arrived at Haimo Village.
"They're all tiny little houses, it's really interesting. Mameh, where's your house?"
When Mameh heard Paimon's question, he pointed into the distance and said, "My home is over there. It's quiet and beautiful, a great place for painting. Come with me."
If living in seclusion, far from one's own people and feeling isolated as if one has been ostracized, can be considered "quiet," then Mameh's house is indeed in a very quiet place.
"Ahem, well, welcome! It's an honor to have you grace my humble abode with your presence... Uh, please feel free to offer your criticisms and corrections..."
"It seems we've never treated guests like this before," Mameh said nervously, rubbing her small hands together.
Xu Ning smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't be too nervous. We're experienced visitors, so just go get the paints. We'll just look around."
Mameh smiled gratefully and immediately rushed up the steps.
"Seymour, I'm back."
A slightly noisy, mechanical voice replied, "Welcome back, Miss. You are as gentle, lovely, and radiant as ever today."
Paimon, flying in the air, spotted the source of the voice immediately and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, come and see! The robot dog can talk!"
Kong hurriedly ran up.
But Xu Ning didn't move. From the moment the robot dog spoke, Caterpillar's body suddenly froze in place, as if it had touched a memory that had been sealed away for many years.
Xu Ning didn't ask the reason directly. Instead, he glanced at the robot dog and asked, "If I remember correctly, this should be the 'reconnaissance and recording type agency' recorded in the Clockwork Mechanism Blueprint. It's a guard agency that can combine recording, reconnaissance, and attack capabilities, right? Is it left here by the Shadow Chaser to supervise Melushin... or people like you and me?"
Caterpillar shook his head, but his gaze never left the robotic dog for a moment.
"No. This is the first and only mechanical dog Alan created with the ability to capture images, think, be alert, reconnoiter, and attack—the prototype 4ACV07. It has always been by Marian's side as her assistant and protector..."
At this point, Caterpillar could no longer continue.
Xu Ning hadn't expected that this robot dog was actually a remnant of the great war four hundred years ago, and moreover, it was a mechanical creation belonging to Marian, the most important member of the four-person group.
"So, that explains why Haimo Village, which we just passed through, had such a spacious area..."
"That was one of the main battlefields of our battle," Caterpillar said with a hint of sadness. "That space was blasted out by a huge explosion."
