This was the first time the mermaid artifact spirit was seeing a human and the only reason she even recognized him was because she had faint memories from the time when people still lived here.
Even if her spirit body hadn't formed back then, she still had a level of consciousness. This consciousness accumulated the words and voices of the people that lived in the city, taking it as nourishment.
Only when it had all reached a certain level, would it form its own 'being'.
In some ways, it could be said that the Artifact spirit of the city was a culmination of every inhabitants memories and energies.
"So who are you?" Lin Mu asked the mermaid again.
"Me? I'm Lanbao and I'm Eighty thousand, six hundred and twenty years old." She introduced herself.
