Chapter 240 Mission 022
While waiting for the man who seemed to be the hero to wake up, Xiao Ying couldn't help but make random guesses. For example, the heroine didn't have any romantic feelings for the male supporting actor Xinggui every day, but fell in love with the hero at first sight. Was it because the hero looked tough? After all, not every woman would like a man who looked prettier than herself.
He thought of the appearance of the men in the sea tribe. Basically, they were either as handsome and beautiful as the men in the mermaid tribe, or ugly and distinctive. Thinking of this, it seemed that there was a reason why the heroine liked the hero - she had never seen a man who looked so manly in the sea.
Xiao Ying thought of various reasons why the heroine fell in love with the hero, but in the eyes of others, it was just that he was staring at the man lying on the wooden board.
When the unconscious man woke up, the first thing he saw was Xinggui's exquisite and handsome face, which was the most outstanding among the many mermaids. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly sat up: "What am I... who are you?"
Xiao Ying looked at the man's slightly alert appearance. He was sitting on the wooden board with only the tip of his tail hanging in the sea, and he jumped into the sea and disappeared in an instant.
The man quickly lay on the edge of the wooden board and looked into the deep sea water, but he could not see anything.
Just when he was full of disappointment and thought that the mermaid who saved him was just scared away by him, a circle of ripples spread in the sea water next to him, and then a beautiful figure broke out of the water, and crystal clear water drops slid down the mermaid's crystal blue long hair in a string, but the soft long hair was not wet at all.
The man was stunned by the picture of the beauty coming out of the bath.
Xiao Ying swam over with his tail swinging, and handed a small box in his hand to the man: "Are you hungry? This is crystal cake, have some."
Looking at the man's elegant and reserved movements when eating the crystal cake, Xiao Ying had almost confirmed it in his heart, and pretended to be curious and asked: "Who are you? Why did you appear in this sea area? Did you encounter a shipwreck?"
The man looked up at the golden scales of Xiao Ying's tail that was exposed above the sea, and smiled and said: "My name is Si Miao, and I am the seventeenth prince of the human race." He did not hide his identity from Xiao Ying, but he avoided talking about the reason why he was here.
Xiao Ying knew that Si Miao must have seen through his identity, so he would not be foolish enough to hide his identity: "So you are the prince of the human race! I am the prince of the sea race, Xingdi. Prince of the human race, how come you come to our sea race's territory?"
Si Miao was silent for a while, and then said: "I secretly followed our human prince to participate in the sea race's Poseidon Day celebration team. It was just that I encountered a storm and overturned my boat halfway, so I was stranded here."
The Poseidon Day of the sea race is a very important celebration for the sea race. In addition, it only happens once every fifty years, so every time the human race will send important figures to lead the diplomatic team to participate, to show the friendly diplomatic relations between the two empires. Si Miao's words seemed to sound normal, giving people the feeling that he was a playful and naughty prince.
But Xiao Ying felt that the male protagonist must have lied. If he wanted to follow the human prince to participate in the Poseidon Day celebration of the sea race, he only needed to apply to the human emperor, and there was no need to sneak behind the team. But he was pretending to be a mermaid prince who was over 200 years old but not yet an adult and was very innocent, so he smiled at Si Miao and blinked: "I know, you also sneaked out to play, right?
The word "also" made Si Miao automatically think that he would be lucky enough to be rescued by the prince of the sea clan, because the prince of the sea clan sneaked out to play and happened to meet him, which made Si Miao, who had previously had various conspiracy theories in his mind, feel a little relieved.
＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜
Xiao Ying saw that Si Miao's injuries had improved a lot under the effect of the potion, and took the initiative to propose: "Do you want to go to the bottom of the sea to recuperate? You can also participate in the Sea God Day celebration that you have been thinking about! After the celebration, you can go back with your human prince. "
He took the initiative to invite the hero, first because the hero's injuries were really serious, and if he was left here, he might die, and second because Xiao Yan was also curious about Si Miao's purpose in coming to the sea clan area, and his purpose was definitely not for the Sea God Day celebration.
As for the heroine, he thought that after he sent people to tell the heroine some tragic stories about humans playing with the feelings of innocent sea girls and then abandoning them, the heroine should have no good feelings for humans, especially human men.
Si Miao smiled: "Thank you, Prince Xingdi for your help."
Xiao Yan didn't show any strangeness on his face, but he said "tsk" in his heart. The hero didn't thank him after knowing that he saved him, but thanked him after he promised to take him to the bottom of the sea, hehe...
However, Xiao Yan still took out a pill with a faint fragrance and handed it to Si Miao: "This is a water-repellent pill, you can go to the bottom of the sea with me if you put it in your mouth. "
Since the Sea Clan Empire and the Human Clan Empire have established diplomatic relations, they have developed a very convenient water-repellent pill. You can breathe freely on the seabed by holding the pill in your mouth. One pill can last for a day. Although the sea pressure on the seabed still needs to be borne by people themselves, a basic third-level spiritualist can integrate himself into the water spirit power to withstand the sea pressure.
The water-repellent pill Xiao Ying gave to Si Miao is an upgraded version, one pill can last for ten days. In fact, the sea tribe has a special treasure called water-repellent beads. It is not the water-repellent beads that can separate the sea water in the mythology of the world before Xiao Ying traveled through time, but a gem that allows humans to live on the seabed like the sea tribe when worn on the body. Even ordinary people can ignore the sea pressure. However, this treasure is too rare and beneficial to the cultivation of the sea tribe, so the limited water-repellent beads are collected by the Sea Emperor or rewarded to meritorious people.
Xinggui, as the beloved son of the Sea Emperor, naturally has water-repellent beads, but Xinggui gave them to the heroine Xingyue. In the original work, the heroine took the male protagonist who was recovering from his injury to the palace where she lived and hid it. The water-repellent bead that Xinggui gave her was used by the male protagonist. After Xiao Ying traveled through time, she found a reason to get the water-repellent bead back, and now it is hanging around his neck, but he doesn't want to give the water-repellent bead to the male protagonist at all.
The male protagonist Si Miao had no idea that the mermaid prince who smiled at him very friendly was particularly unfriendly to him in his heart. He put all his thoughts on the underwater world that was about to pass by. Thinking of the purpose of his coming to the sea, he couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Yan pretended not to see it, and pretended not to think that the male protagonist's injury could not enter the water. He took the lead in swinging his tail and entering the sea. The golden fish tail that swung in the sun was like a swimming sun that sank into the deep blue sea and disappeared.
Si Miao also quickly put the water-repellent pill in his mouth and jumped into the sea.
"Hiss..." The moment he entered the sea, Si Miao couldn't help but cry out in pain. It was really that the wounds on his body were soaked in sea water, just like salt sprinkled on the wounds. Fortunately, he still had the willpower to endure the pain. He just paused and trembled for a while, and immediately followed Xiao Yan as if nothing had happened.
＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜
Xiao Ying's golden fish tail was still very conspicuous in the somewhat dark sea. Even though he swam very fast, Si Miao, who fell behind, still followed him based on the golden light and did not lose him.
The farther away from the sea surface, the darker the light in the sea, until it was pitch black behind. However, when they swam to the bottom of the sea, it was like coming from the darkness to a beautiful city that never sleeps.
The Sea Emperor City is the capital of the entire sea area, the underwater city. It is the most beautiful and powerful. The Sea God Day Celebration is held in the Sea Emperor City.
Si Miao followed Xiao Ying into the Sea Emperor City. He stepped on the soft, crystal-like sand and stones on the ground, and felt very warm and comfortable. As a prince, Si Miao, who was well-informed, recognized at a glance that the sand and stones under his feet were jade sand. Looking at the color of the jade sand, it was clearly the finest jade refined into exquisite jade sand. Looking at the size of the Sea Emperor City, you can estimate how large the scope of the jade sand paving is.
Si Miao was amazed. Although the spiritual energy contained in jade is not much, its value is definitely not cheap. How much jade is needed to refine so much jade sand? How much money does it cost to pave this road!
Look at the shops on the streets of Haihuang City. The floors in the shops are not paved with jade sand, but with whole pieces of jade, just like the stone slabs used by humans, but the rich sea people use jade floors.
The ornamental trees beside the street are all high-quality corals. This kind of coral only needs a small pot, and it is enough to make the nobles fight for it on land. However, in Haihuang City, the high-quality corals as big as trees are planted on both sides of the street like ordinary trees.
The seabed is dark, but the sea emperor city is as bright as day, which is the light emitted by the fist-sized sunstones hanging on the top of each building and coral tree. This sunstone is not naturally grown, but requires a spiritual master above level 7 to collect sunlight and seal it in a spiritual stone to form a sunstone. The technical content is not high, but it is a very tedious job. The finished sunstone is also a spiritual treasure that has a miraculous effect on dark races or fierce beasts, and it is very valuable.
Si Miao looked at the sunstones that can be sold at sky-high prices on land, which are the size of a pigeon egg. They can be seen everywhere in the Sea King City, and each one is as big as a fist and used as a lighting tool. I feel that my eyes are almost blinded by the light.
Looking at the prince of the sea clan who doesn't think these things are precious at all, Si Miao seems to be looking at a rich man who shows off his wealth in a pure and elegant way.
