The merman, my man novel Chapter 77

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 77

Through the crack in the wall, I looked across the surface of the sea and saw only flocks of birds flying over the horizon. They looked like gray clouds covering the sea’s surface as they flew in the same direction the ship was heading.

The pirates had no reason to get the flock of birds to follow the ship as they sailed. However, these birds typically follow the Earth’s magnetic field as they migrate.

There was only one reason for this phenomenon: something causing another massive magnetic field on this ship. This magnetic field must be stronger

than the natural one. Hence, the reason the birds mistook the ship’s magnetic field for the natural one and changed their course.

I connected my deduction to what Dicken had said earlier and made a second deduction. Dicken possessed supernatural abilities. In disbelief, I looked at his side profile. His mysteriousness had far exceeded my imagination. I gulped as I asked, “This… This is because of you? Where are you taking us?“

Dicken fell silent. His gaze seemed to be trained somewhere further than the horizon as well as the deepest depths of the ocean. The look in his eyes was hard to decipher, like he was someplace other than the ship we were on.

After a long time, he finally answered in a low voice, “Lemenland…“

I thought I had misheard him when he said that. When I confirmed that I hadn’t misheard it, I couldn’t help but shake.

I had heard of this place before, but more specifically, this place was from my dream.

It was the name of a group of islands found in legends. Nobody believed in its existence other than me.
