Chapter 165

The hands of a female mermaid are no different from those of human women.

It was also boneless and slender, as if it could be crushed to pieces with just a pinch.

"70 million."

"Um?"

"The average auction price for a young mermaid in the slave market of the Chambord Islands is 70 million beli."

Idi pointed at Otohime and said with a smile: "If it were you, because of your special status, you might be able to sell it for 700 million."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers suddenly became angry.

"What did you say, human!"

"Sure enough, humans can't believe it!"

"Princess Otohime, leave that man quickly!"

The soldiers became excited.

"Quiet, put down your weapons."

Princess Otohime immediately stopped the soldier, grabbed Idi's hand hard, and opened her red lips slightly: "Mr. Idi, do you want me to give up such an idea?"

"I'm just telling you what might happen next."

Princess Otohime's lips parted slightly and she couldn't help but sigh.

She was a holy mother and not an idiot, and knew that what Edie said was a foreseeable situation.

The Ryugu Kingdom has a population of five million, of which mermaids account for about one-tenth.

Among these one-tenth mermaids, about half are female.

When a female mermaid reaches the age of 30, her tail will bifurcate, and her tail fin will turn into "legs", allowing her to walk upright like a human.

Such female mermaids do not qualify as "young mermaids" and their value as auction items will quickly decrease.

The real mermaid worth 70 million is a female mermaid between the ages of 14 and 28.

Such mermaids account for less than one-fifth of the total number of female mermaids. The precise figure is 17.5%.

In other words, among the 5 million people on Fish-Man Island, there are less than 10,000 young mermaids.

Scarce mermaids, difficult to catch, and other objective factors have led to soaring prices in the slave market.

The most expensive of all races! Extremely expensive!

As a princess, how could Otohime not know these realities?

At this time, a huge figure flew in the sky.

It was a long and huge eel. The eel's body was covered with a ring-shaped bubble, and it had the ability to float.

On the back of the giant eel is Otohime's husband, King Neptune.

as well as her three sons, and a daughter.

"Mother!"

"Otohime, don't panic, I'm here to save you... eh?"

Neptune was holding the Trident of Poseidon. When he descended over the square, he was stunned.

Why is his wife holding the hand of a human man?

And his expression looked a little excited...

Neptune touched his head, not sure why.

But it seems to be okay.

"You are... Doctor Evil, Great Scientist Edie!"

When Neptune saw Edie's appearance clearly, he suddenly took a breath.

He immediately thought of the news from the past few months.

The destruction of the Holy Land Marie Joa!

The originally relaxed attitude became alert again.

"Hello, King Neptune." Idi smiled slightly, but his eyes fell on Little White Star.

"Mr. Edie is not the enemy."

Otohime immediately dissuaded her husband, fearing unnecessary conflicts.

Then she said to Edie:

"Mr. Edie, please come with us to Dragon Palace City."

…

Dragon Palace City, Grand Banquet Hall.

The round banquet table was filled with special delicacies from Fish-Man Island.

Neptune crossed his arms and finally let down his guard after listening to Princess Otohime's story.

Just don't come here to destroy Fish-Man Island.

But why is Otohime holding the doctor's hand?

Thinking of this, Neptune turned around and asked:

"Dr. Edie, your name is well-known even under the sea. Regarding your visit, I welcome you on behalf of Fish-Man Island."

A household name?

When he appeared in the square just now, not many people recognized him.

Edie complained in her heart, but did not take the polite words seriously.

"I came to your Fish-Man Island just to do one thing."

Princess Otohime immediately asked: "How can I help you?"

"Ordinary fish can communicate with fish and have conversations and conversations."

Edie spoke slowly and slowly.

"And as a king, Neptune can even talk to whales."

"But in the legend of your royal family, a mermaid princess who can communicate with the giant sea king is born every few hundred years."

"That is the power that can drive [the world] to the bottom of the sea."

When he heard this, Neptune's expression changed and he became nervous.

He subconsciously looked at his daughter, Bai Xing, who was only 4 years old.

Little Baixing didn't know anything and was eating delicious food under the care of her brothers.

Princess Otohime guessed it and said in surprise: "You mean Shirahoshi?"

"She is the mermaid princess of this generation. At the same time, she is also one of the three legendary ancient weapons, Poseidon, the King of the Sea."

The three brothers were shocked.

Does my little sister still have this power?

Neptune's expression changed again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and nodded: "In this case, before Bai Xing was born...Roger also told me."

At that time, he was not the king, but the Great Knight of the Sea, and he was not married to Otohime.

The Roger Pirates came to Fish-Man Island and received an accurate prophecy from Mrs. Charlie, who has the power of prophecy.

The legendary mermaid princess will be born.

After that, he married Otohime, and Shirahoshi was born.

"Is your goal Shirahoshi!?" Neptune said angrily: "Only this thing is absolutely not allowed. Even if I risk my life, I will stop you, Dr. Edie!"

·· ········Please give me flowers·· ·········

After that, he told his eldest son: "Shark Star, you must protect Otohime and Shirahoshi and leave here immediately!"

"Wait..."

Princess Otohime was helpless: "Mr. Edie is not a bad person. Although I can't sense his emotions, he was very friendly when he came."

Although she couldn't sense it at first, she shook hands.

She held Edie's hand, so she could barely feel a little bit.

It was a very stable emotion, without malice.

Otohime believed in her observation Haki.

"Shirahoshi hasn't awakened yet, she needs a little stimulation."

Edie said the terrifying words with a smile: "If I kill all of you, and the whole family dies in front of her, she should awaken, right?"

Neptune's face was livid: "Look, Otohime, you still said he is not a bad person?"

"That... it should be just a joke. Mr. Edie, don't scare people casually."

Otohime opened her mouth, and her heart was a little uneasy.

Shark Star's face was serious, and he immediately pulled Shirahoshi back, and the other two brothers quickly protected their sister behind them.

"I won't allow this to happen!"

"If you want to hurt Shirahoshi, just step over my body!"

"Don't underestimate the speed of mermaids in the sea!"

The three brothers spoke courageously, making Edie laugh.

"It's just a joke, don't be nervous."

Take out a blood collection needle from your pocket and slide it in front of Princess Otohime along the table.

He has two plans.

Plan 1, think of a way to help Shirahoshi awaken, and then train her, so that she can slowly control her power as the King of the Sea.

Plan 2, draw Shirahoshi's blood and clone a Poseidon!

..... .... ...

Before coming, Edie hadn't decided which one to use.

Plan 1 is too troublesome, and Plan 2 may not succeed.

But after coming, she finally decided to try the second one first.

If it doesn't work, use the first one.

"You can treat it as a deal."

"I need a tube of Shirahoshi's blood, and as the content of the deal..."

At this point, Edie looked at Princess Otohime and said with one of her few kindnesses: "Fulfill your dream and send Fishman Island to live on the sea."

Otohime's face changed slightly.

"What do you want to do with Shirahoshi's blood? Curse?"

Edie:?

I typed a question mark, not because I have a problem, but because your brain circuit is incomprehensible.

"Do you know? It takes about 2 weeks for humans to recover after drawing 200cc of blood. Mermaids are no different."

Edie seemed to be looking at a few stupid fish.

Neptune: "..."

The three brothers: "..."

From Edie's eyes, they saw naked contempt.

Princess Otohime still couldn't hear Edie's emotions and thoughts, but she could hear an attitude from her tone.

"I understand, Shirahoshi, follow me."
