"The Legend of Mermaid", this book records in detail the mermaid, which is between humans and fish, and is also said to be some of the languages, words, customs and other contents of the indigenous ancestors of the Shandi Islands.

The author... According to the Publishing Review, he is an unknown folklorist. And this book is also "full of whimsical ingenuity and gorgeous passionate writing. Its value as a novel is far better than that of folklore works. The publisher divided the wrong categories from the beginning."

It's such a book.

"The mermaid tribe is a mermaid, right?" When Liu Mengmeng saw this book, her first reaction was this. Wei Feifei and Chu Tiantian nodded in agreement. They were not as reflexive as Liu Mengmeng, and their heads were slower.

"It's different. This is the world of One Piece. The mermaid tribe has various mermaids, different sizes and different combat powers. The first beauty, Princess White Star, is extremely huge... The beauty, who masters the legendary ancient weapon Poseidon, can call on the sea king." Lin Qiuran was excited as he said, his eyes were filled with peach blossoms, "I don't know if there is a princess White Star in this world."

"That... can you explain what ancient weapons are, what Poseidon is, what sea kings are..." Liu Mengmeng, Wei Feifei, and Chu Tiantian raised their hands together.

So the fat man explained righteously: "How can the first beauty be Princess White Star? She must be the empress!"

"Nani? You have the courage to say it again!" Lin Qiuran slapped the table.

"Empress, Empress, Empress... I said, how about it?" The fat man took a photo together.

Later, when Xiao Ling was studying this book, everyone occasionally came to see it. However, when they saw the hand-painted ancient illustrations and the grim words, they couldn't read it after turning two pages. Everyone really couldn't understand what Xiao Ling could tell from such a book.

"Okay, let's teach you the correct way to open the book." Xiao Ling waved "Legend of Mermaids". "At first glance, this book seems to have nothing to do with our mission, but if I said that this book was written by Grororo, would you be more interested?"

"What? This book was written by Geroro?" Everyone became interested, "But...how did you know? The author's name has nothing to do with Gerororo..., right?"

"How could it be okay? Before Gororo became a pirate, he was an archaeologist and a naturalist. He once traveled to the mainland and was very famous in the Gastein Empire and the nearby mainland. Although this pseudonym was not recorded in his biography, his style was exactly the same as those pseudonyms. The most important thing is..." Xiao Ling casually showed two travel notes signed by Gorororo, "The words and phrases are almost the same. Only the so-called critics in this world can't see it."

"Well, this book was written by Grororo. So what?"

"If it were written by Gororo, as a rigorous archaeologist, then this book would not be what was mentioned in the publication review. It was like a novel and a folk work. But it should be his personal experience."

"Okay, so what?" Everyone still didn't understand.

"Tsk, he has been to the bottom of the Mermaid Clan."

"If you have been there, just coat the boat..." Lin Qiuran shook his head and said.

Xiao Ling also shook his head. This guy's IQ has dropped so much.

The three girls who didn't look at One Piece next to them understood first: "The territory of the Mermaid tribe seems to be a mysterious place in this mission..." The girl was careful and paid attention to the content of some books Xiao Ling read.

"That's right." Xiao Ling nodded.

This is the key. In this world, the Mermaid Clan is just a legend, unlike the One Piece World. The streets are full of people. Lin Qiuran and Fatty Old Man use the perspective in the book to measure everything, and naturally they will make mistakes.

"Based on the date. This book was published twenty-eight years ago. It was the middle period of Gororo's travels to the mainland. A few years later, he worked as a court lecturer in the Gastan Empire for a period of time, and then... for some difficult reasons, he was wanted by the Gastan Empire and became a pirate."

"He continued his archaeological journey while being a pirate. Until eighteen years ago, he led a fleet to rob the fleet of the Gastan Empire, and his whereabouts were unknown since then..."

"Some people say he is afraid of being retaliated by the Imperial Navy, and some people say he has fallen into the hands of the Gastan Empire. But the Gastan Empire doesn't want to let others know about the fact that it has won a large number of treasures for nothing, and has deliberately hidden the truth."

"Brother Xiao, you are sorting out the timeline here. We know that you must have the intention, but... if you have any conclusions, just tell me." Everyone begged for mercy.

As the captain, Xiao Ling is good at everything, just to peel off the threads when announcing the answer and follow the clues. The more anxious others are to find out the answer, the more they want to know the answer, the more they will be, which is too anxious.

"Okay." Xiao Ling had no choice but to ask for so much information, "I actually only have one purpose, to investigate the truth about Gororo's attack on the Gastan Empire fleet."

"Isn't the truth that he robbed the fleet and robbed tributes?"

"Before he robbed the fleet, he was already a pirate all over the world, with thousands of men and several treasures discovered... Will people with a billion-dollar population still do such a risky thing? Although he has been wanted by the Gastan Empire, it is just that they have not put all their strength on him."

"It is obvious that robbing a fleet is neither in his interests nor in his style of conduct."

Everyone meditated for a moment, and that's true. After making more money, normal people would want to whitewash them. The more they are, the more they are: "Then why did he rob the fleet..."

Xiao Ling reached into his arms and took out a book.

Everyone thought it would be a book, but after looking closely, "Getdo's Private Dish", it was a recipe.

"That, I'm really a little hungry. I'll go cook?" Wei Feifei stood up and Chu Tiantian followed closely.

"Sit down." Xiao Ling had no choice but to open the recipe and highlighted several pages for everyone, which were several ways to cook snacks, desserts, and steamed dishes.

Wei Feifei took a closer look: "What a unique way to cook it. Use the sea water from the seabed hot spring? Turn on the electricity and heat up? You also need to filter the seaweed... This is not something you can prepare in a short time, but... just... let's just click something else."

"I'll order you." Xiao Ling's book slapped her on the face, "These recipes are all recorded in "The Legend of Mermaids"! They are special delicacies passed down from generation to generation in the special environment under the sea."

OK, everyone still doesn't understand...

"This Geddo was originally a famous chef in Negara. According to his recipes, eighteen years ago, because he was good at making desserts and snacks, he joined an ocean fleet from Negara to the Gastein Empire. These unique desserts were said to have been figured out by him on his own voyage. Look, it is written here..."

"Maybe he deliberately concealed it and took the credit for studying new dishes to himself; or maybe it was someone who stopped him from telling the truth. But once a long voyage across the ocean, he happened to study several unique delicacies to the mermaids. This is not a coincidence, right?"

"The fleet he followed, there were mermaids on it at that time?" Everyone finally understood and spoke in unison, "And it was the fleet of the Gastan Empire!"

"You mean, Gororo robbed the fleet not for some tribute, but for saving the mermaid?"

"You finally understand. In fact, Gerdo could only be on that fleet. According to hydrological and meteorological records, the oceanic climate was relatively complicated that year, and there was no quarterly trade winds. Many fleets had to return halfway through the journey. The Gastan Empire fleet with only mechanical power could go from Negara to Gastan against the wind."

Twenty-eight years ago, Gororo spent time in the mysterious mermaid kingdom;

After that, he continued to travel around the world, searched for ruins, wrote travel notes, and gained great fame.

His works with various pseudonyms have been published one after another, but there is a travelogue called "The Legend of Mermaid", which he never admitted that it was written by himself.

In fact, according to the records, some people suspected that it was written by him, but he flatly denied it in his memoir.

During this period, he was wanted and became a pirate, and his power grew stronger and he eventually became the water overlord who dominated the side;

Ten years later, a ship sailed from Negara to the Gastan Empire and transported one or several mermaids, minor mermaids;

Then, for no reason, Gororo led his own fleet to attack the Imperial fleet. The Imperial fleet was robbed, and the Gastan Empire was shocked, and he never appeared in public since then.

"When he was traveling with the mermaids, he formed a deep friendship with the mermaids, so when the mermaids were caught, the mermaids asked him?" Everyone speculated.

"Is deep friendship worth fighting with your head?" Xiao Ling sighed and pointed to "Gedu's Private Vegetables" again. "According to the records of "The Legend of Mermaid", this dessert is the favorite food for children of the mermaid tribe."

"According to the description of "The Legend of Mermaid", the mermaid tribe is basically a matriarchal society, and the mermaid queen is in charge of everything. After female mermaids and people give birth to children, they usually raise their children themselves..."

"You mean, there were Gororo's children on the Empire fleet at that time?" Everyone's eyes widened. Xiao Ling's reasoning was sometimes strict, but sometimes it was too... unrestrained.

"There are usually only two things that can make a man go crazy and seek death, one is a woman and the other is a child." Xiao Ling raised his finger, "Based on the romantic affairs recorded in his biography, I think the latter is far more likely than the former. Of course, it is not ruled out that his women and children are on the boat..."

After saying that, Xiao Ling sighed in his heart: Tsk, it’s all pushed here, aren’t there any hints of increasing the difficulty? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
