The appearance of the serpent sea demon was just the beginning. Not long after, another group, not sea beasts, entered everyone's sight.
It was a group of mermaids with exquisite appearances, possessing dark skin, golden eyes, and milky-white tails.
"Those are the Prussian Mermaids of the Phantom Sea Shore!" Someone recognized the newcomers.
Although the mermaid clan is humanoid, and like the serpent sea demon, the low-level mermaids also feast on humans, it is merely due to their lack of intellect; the nobility or royal family among the mermaids have much stronger self-control. They not only refrain from consuming humans but also maintain good relations with many human nations, with trade never ceasing.
For this reason, humans feel relatively closer to the mermaid clan compared to other humanoids. This is evident in their terms of address; humans never refer to mermaids as "it," a term used for non-humans, but instead use "he" or "she," which are pronouns for humans.
