Chapter 420: Meeting the Mermaid King!
There is a high probability of a blood feud between the mermaid and the Hatteras royal family.
So when the identity reported by the player is related to the Hatteras royal family, the mermaid guards responsible for guarding the entrance to the underwater world naturally have to fight each other.
As for calling yourself an adventurer, you can gain the favor of neutral mermaids to the greatest extent.
As for the Chinese characters written by Pan Xiaoxiao, can the mermaid understand it?
Under the power of rules, this is not a problem at all.
Sure enough, when the mermaid guards saw the words on the beach clearly, the tridents that were crossing the block immediately separated, and their figures slowly retreated to both sides of the road.
The dolphin-like sound came again, but it was no longer as sharp as before:
"The underwater world welcomes you, adventurers! The Poseidon Hall is open to you."
"Before the expedition begins, please go and meet our king."
"Is it okay if I don't see you?" Alyssa shook her cat ears and typed in the chat group.
She didn’t know what terrible memories the mermaid’s words brought back in her mind.
The cat-eared girl started to feel inexplicably frightened.
Pan Xiaoxiao glanced at the data panel, shook his head helplessly, and used a flashlight to write a response on the sand at the bottom of the sea:
"OK."
Later, it was explained in the data panel:
"This is the tradition of mermaids. Before strangers explore the underwater world, they need to go to the Poseidon Hall to meet their king."
"It's like paying homage to the dock. We just have to comply and it won't have any adverse impact on the follow-up actions."
"You can even get some clues about Emily from the Mermaid King."
Alyssa nodded timidly, her body unconsciously moving closer to Li Luo.
The latter felt something in his heart. He held Alyssa's arm tightly and looked at Lu Li with confusion.
"I guess Alyssa thought of the slave owners who ruled the Palu people?" Lu Li guessed in his mind, but didn't say anything.
I just copied my title and sent it privately to Alyssa.
At the same time, he gave the other party a reassuring look.
The latter looked at the data panel, and the cat ears that were originally drooping suddenly stood up, and a surprised light bloomed in his eyes.
Lu Li raised a finger and moved it to his lips, making a silencing gesture.
Led by two mermaids, the four 'adventurers' quickly entered the coral forest.
After walking for a period of time where the direction was unclear, a magnificent temple came into view.
Unlike the Coral Forest, the entire temple is wrapped in a huge bubble.
The sea water was blocked, and once you stepped into the area, you could clearly feel the pressure around your body relaxing.
Although the air is still thick, the four of them can communicate normally through talking.
Pan Xiaoxiao reminded everyone:
"Based on the experience of previous strategies, as long as we meet the Mermaid King in the Poseidon Hall, we can get a mission of 'Looking for the Little Mermaid Princess' and clues related to the mission."
"Of course, we can also choose not to accept the mission, show our identity as adventurers, and then we can start exploring freely in the underwater world."
"Does the witch have any influence?" Lu Li asked knowingly.
"Yes." Pan Xiaoxiao adjusted his glasses and said seriously:
"If we don't accept the mission of 'finding the little mermaid princess', we won't be able to obtain the 'investigation token authorized by the mermaid king'."
"I can only find the residence of the Deep Sea Witch, but there is no way to enter it and negotiate with the other party."
"It seems that if you want to get as many clues as possible, you must take on the mission of the Mermaid King." Lu Li rubbed his chin, thinking deeply.
"Yes." Pan Xiaoxiao nodded slightly:
"But just like the Hatteras royal family on land, if they cannot complete the task within the time limit, they will also be hunted by mermaids."
"And due to the special nature of the mermaid's strange creature, once the opponent determines that it cannot complete the mission, it may start to hunt it down in advance."
"Basically, it's impossible to escape."
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, knowing what Pan Xiaoxiao meant by 'speciality'.
According to rule 1:
[The mermaid's face is too beautiful and is jealous of the gods. Human beings who have seen the mermaid's face will fall asleep uncontrollably and will not wake up until the sun rises the next day. 】
Once the mermaid determines that the task cannot be completed, the opponent can easily control players like them as long as they take off the golden mask on their face.
But after closing my eyes, I can no longer wait for the moment when the sun rises.
So even if you have a [Secret Realm Escape Ticket], you can escape from the secret realm,
It cannot be used in front of the mermaid.
"I understand, but we have no choice, right." Lu Li sighed, as if he was ready to take a big risk.
However, only he and a group of soul guards who knew the truth knew that everything was just going according to plan.
"That's right, so when I go back, I will try my best to help Mr. Lu Li get some compensation."
"If you can successfully pass the level in the end, I will try my best to ask General Ao Zhan to make up for the loss."
Lu Li smacked his lips in surprise:
"Including those perfect quality props that may not be returned?"
"Well, including those perfect quality props." Pan Xiaoxiao nodded extremely seriously:
"If General Ao Zhan doesn't approve it, I will personally repay it..."
"It's just that it may take a little longer..."
Lu Li's eyes were quite strange.
He remembered that these 'civil servants' in his previous life didn't seem to be so generous.
The Chinese government is also very tight-fisted in allocating resources, giving people a sense of being stingy and cramped.
How come after being reborn once, he became generous?
Is it because his own strength and status have changed?
Pan Xiaoxiao didn't know what Lu Li was thinking.
Seeing that the other party didn't reply, she thought that he was not satisfied with her plan, and added:
"Your strength and status are extraordinary. Even if General Ao Zhan doesn't nod, the higher-ups will agree to compensate you."
"Also, the reward for assisting in the clearance this time will be calculated separately."
"Oh, OK." Lu Li came back to his senses and nodded blankly.
This benefit is really amazing.
It made him a little tempted and wanted to go ashore as a 'civil servant'.
"Mr. Lu Li, let's hurry in."
"Oh, OK."
Lu Li responded again.
The four of them entered the Sea God Hall.
Under the leadership of the mermaid guards, they soon saw the legendary mermaid king.
The golden mask on his face was bigger than the surrounding mermen, he was burly, and his lower body was a shark tail. Triton glanced at the four people and said:
"Welcome, adventurers from the land."
"The king has been exhausted recently, so I won't take you to visit the underwater world in person."
"Everyone, please do as you please."
Just three sentences,
Although the voice was majestic, it was full of fatigue.
Pan Xiaoxiao knew the reason, took a half step forward, and said respectfully:
"Respected King of Mermaids, our purpose of coming here is not just to explore."
"We are more willing to help you solve your problems for the sake of our friendship with the mermaids."
"If there is anything we can help with, please feel free to ask."
