Chapter 57

“Teacher?” Boyce was stunned when he saw Professor Chris. Professor Chris was still carrying a bag of candy in his hand, and there was a bit of surprise on his face when he saw him here.

“Where are you going?” He looked down at the watch on his hand, it wasn’t before the usual time to feed the fish, “Going to feed the fish so early?”

Boyce nodded along with his words.

“What’s next?” Professor Chris asked him.

“Have you ever thought about what you would do if you left the institute?” Professor Chris suddenly smelled the question.

Boyce didn’t think about this. Although after Garcia left, Boyce should have left Professor Cyril’s group after the experimental project of Professor Cyril was over, but Boyce had not left the institute before. thought about it.

What’s more, the Institute should not let Boyce leave here easily for the sake of confidentiality.

The reason why Boyce entered the institute was because of the strong recommendation from Professor Chris at that time.

So now that Professor Chris asked this question, Boyce was still a little surprised. He recalled that recently, he heard that Professor Chris was still continuing the experiments before the accident, but he heard that he was not as focused as before.

Moreover, Boyce also heard that Professor Chris seems to seldom express his opinions now, giving his subordinates a lot of room to play, so many people want to go to him.

Someone said before that Professor Chris must have been affected by what happened some time ago. Boyce didn’t believe it very much at first, but when he heard Professor Chris asking this question now, Boyce began to wonder if Professor Chris really gave birth. plan to leave the institute.

“I haven’t thought about that.” Boyce could only temporarily answer the question from Professor Chris.

“Have you thought about it?” Professor Chris looked at him and raised his eyebrows, “I remember you haven’t got a partner yet?”

“Haven’t you thought about finding a girlfriend after leaving the institute?” Chris added when Boyce didn’t speak. “Boyfriends are fine, haven’t you thought about it?”

Boyce turned his eyes away with some guilt. For some reason, he actually saw a bit of ridicule in Professor Chris’s eyes.

Professor Chris seemed to suddenly get close to the elders who were starting to worry about the feelings of young people. He asked a few more questions and left a sentence before leaving: “I didn’t think about it before, but now I can start to think about it.”

Boyce was still a little overwhelmed by Professor Chris’s sudden concern, and responded perfunctorily, but Garcia’s face suddenly appeared in his mind.

…

When Boyce entered the breeding room, Garcia was already waiting for him.

When I just met Professor Chris, Boyce was stuffed with a handful of candy by him. Boyce reached into his pocket and was about to take out the candy and give it to Garcia.

After reaching into his pocket, Boyce felt the somewhat smooth edges of the scales.

The scales were given to Boyce when he met Anthony today.

Boyce later opened the locked drawer in his room and compared the blue scales inside, and found that the black scales Anthony gave him were similar in size and shape to the mermaid scales Garcia gave him.

Anthony should have given himself the scales of another mermaid.

“Someone wants to meet you,” Anthony said when he gave Boyce the scales.

“Who?” Is it someone related to the black scales? Boyce was a little curious, Anthony and him should be in the same position.

Since he was willing to help Boyce when he was about to sneak Garcia away, does it mean that he might have a good relationship with the black mermaid?

“You’ll know when you see it.” Anthony didn’t tell him directly.

“When are we meeting.”

“Wait a while, when it’s all over.” Anthony looked at Boyce. “He may still have things to deal with.”

Anthony also took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket.

“Write me a copy of your contact information.” Anthony handed them all to Boyce.

“We can contact you when the time comes.”

“Aren’t they all in the Institute?” Boyce felt a little strange, but Anthony insisted that he leave his contact information, he said, “You will have to leave the Institute sooner or later.”

…

Boyce later compared the black scales with Garcia’s scales, then hid the blue scales again, and then put the black scales in his pocket, ready to ask Garcia when he has time to come over. .

“Do you know the owner of this scale?” Boyce asked Garcia.

Garcia took the scales from him.

The scales are very familiar, and the breath on them is also very familiar.

“It’s the leader’s scale.” Garcia reluctantly handed the scale to Boyce, watching him wipe the black scale a little before putting it back into his pocket.

Garcia stared at the scale until it was completely covered by Boyce’s pocket.

There is still some discomfort.

If it weren’t for the merfolk’s instinctive respect for the leader, and some obedience, Garcia would probably have thrown the scales aside after taking the scales from Boyce.

The merman has a strong possessiveness towards his partner, watching Boyce put the scales of a merman in his pocket in front of him.

Garcia is inevitably a little tasteful.

But Boyce didn’t notice that much.

Boyce noticed that this was the second time Garcia had mentioned the word leader in front of him.

The last time I mentioned it, it was Garcia who said that he wanted to meet the parents and that he wanted to take Boyce to see the leader.

But Garcia only mentioned his existence, and didn’t mention it in detail, so in Boyce’s imagination, the leader was probably the equivalent of his father to Garcia.

“The leader’s profession is to guard the minor fish in the lair.”

Garcia explained to Boyce.

The leader is generally the most powerful being in the group, and only in this way can the underage mermaid be better protected.

And the leader spends most of the time outside the nest, driving away the existence that may be more dangerous to the young mermaid.

They probably spend at least ten months every year outside the nest to protect the safety of the young mermaid.

During this time, he will also meet the challenge from the adult mermaid in the tribe.

“Every adult fish will go to the nearby lair to find the leader when they feel that they can be compared with the leader, and if they can defeat the leader, they can take his place.”

“What will happen to the previous leader?” Boyce was a little curious. In nature, in other ethnic groups, the new leader will generally expel the old leader.

“He will leave the lair and live like other mermen.” Garcia froze for a moment, then replied.

Because the reproduction of mermaids is not easy, and there are not many mermaids in the group, there is no situation where the mermaids will kill each other.

The old boss that was replaced is no different than before, except that he no longer has to guard the lair.

Although in the mermaid group, the leader does have a weak privilege, which is not useful for most mermaids. These privileges will not disappear after the leader is replaced.

So in fact, even if he loses at most, it’s just the wound of a mermaid that has been raised in the sea for several months.

Boyce still felt a little weird after listening to it. After listening to Garcia, he felt that the leader was not a good job, but most of the mermaids seemed to be actively trying to pull the old leader down and replace it with himself.

“Have you thought about it too?”

Boyce asked Garcia.

Garcia didn’t answer this question directly, and was a little vague: “All mermaids want to be leaders.”

“It’s like a mermaid trying to find a mate.”

Boyce heard something in his words.

Garcia should also want to defeat the original leader.

But now the leader is still staying in this position well, which shows that Garcia failed before.

“How often do you go to challenge him?” Boyce was really curious. The most powerful mermaid he had ever seen was Garcia, so he was a little surprised to know that Garcia still lost in a contest with other mermaids. Some couldn’t contain their curiosity.

“Each mermaid can only challenge him once in ten years,” Garcia replied.

After all, the main task of the leader is to take care of the minor mermaids in the group, so he can’t spend most of his time competing with other mermaids.

Garcia has been challenging the leader since he felt that he was strong enough when he was an adult.

However, although Garcia is one of the most ferocious mermaids who have just grown up, it is still a bit underwhelming compared to the original leader who has more experience and experience than himself.

Garcia originally thought that he could succeed in the challenge this time, but on the way from his territory to the mermaid lair this year, Garcia felt the breath of Boyce.

So he gave up the original plan, changed a direction halfway, and moved towards the direction of the institute.

Although Garcia only had a deeper fighting spirit every time he was defeated before, Garcia was still a little embarrassed after being put in front of Boyce when he was defeated by another mermaid several times.

Garcia still hopes that in front of his partner, he is the most powerful mermaid.

But it is a fact that I have been challenged many times without success.

“My next challenge will be successful.” Garcia said unwillingly.

Boyce nodded along with his words: “I believe you.”

But after being with him for a long time, Garcia can still see that he is comforting himself, and the belief in his mouth may not be true.

“And he doesn’t have a partner yet.” Garcia thought for a while, and suddenly choked out such a sentence.

Since Garcia came out of the shell, he has been the leader, but until ten years ago, when Garcia went to challenge, he was still a mermaid alone.

But Boyce had already agreed to go to the sea with himself, and Garcia couldn’t help but feel a little smug when he thought about it.

Boyce remembered his conversation with Anthony and thought, that’s not necessarily the case.
