The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

At night, according to the emperor's instructions, Ilda personally went to the mermaid's residence with the palace servants who were delivering dinner.

The evening meals were richer and more precious, according to the royal standards of the Rawdon family.

Palace servants came in in groups, holding golden plates and utensils, and plates of exquisite dishes were gently placed on the dining table covered with a thick tablecloth.

The white-tailed mermaid was sitting upright, with a black wolf with sharp animal eyes crawling at its feet. Its dark pupils were staring at the palace servants walking in front of it, as if it would suddenly jump up to protect its master at the slightest movement.

On the right, the guard brought by the mermaid prince stood with his head bowed. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he came, with a hood on. Because of his standing posture, people could not see his face clearly, and could only see his crimson hair.

The dishes were all served, but Ilda showed no intention of leaving. In You Mu's puzzled gaze, he leaned forward slightly and said:

"Your Majesty specifically instructed me to take good care of the prince's food and clothing. These dishes are all prepared according to your Majesty's dining standards. Is the prince satisfied? If you are dissatisfied, please let me know."

"I don't like being stared at, Mr. Ilda, please go out." In order to deepen his impression in Ilda's mind, You Mu bluntly signaled the other party to leave the room with a large group of palace servants.

"But... we need to ensure your safety." They still have many unknowns about mermaids. His Majesty means that only by deeply understanding all aspects of mermaids can they accurately grasp the weaknesses of mermaids in the future.

Ilda was unwilling to leave because her goal had not been achieved.

"Mermaids are not weak humans. What could happen in your own bedroom? Get out!" The order was politely rejected. The white-tailed mermaid looked unhappy, and the knife and fork in her hand clinked on the silver plate.

"Okay, I will guard outside the door. If there is any unusual movement, please inform me immediately." Ilda also knew that he should not push the opponent too much. His actions would be seen as surveillance by the opponent. It was reasonable for the white-tailed mermaid to react so strongly.

Taking a step back, Ilda was about to go out with the palace servants.

"Pfft!"

The dull sound of the body falling on the carpet was not very loud, but it was loud enough for people in the room to hear.

"hope?"

As the mermaid prince screamed, Ilda turned around and saw the servant beside the mermaid lying on the ground, trembling all over, and seemed to be in great pain.

"What's going on?" Ilda's eyebrows jumped, and he realized that he seemed to have discovered the mermaid's weakness, so he quickly turned around and walked forward.

Next to the white-tailed mermaid, a black wolf bared its fangs in a threatening manner, fearing that humans would approach.

The mermaid prince looked a little flustered. He stood up and tried to support the servant, but failed to pull him.

The servant curled up even more tightly and made a hoarse sound from his throat. It sounded extremely painful, and even radiating bone spurs appeared on his ears.

"Water! Sea water! Xi has been away from sea water for too long! You didn't put sea water in Xi's bedroom, he will... he needs sea water!"

The white-tailed mermaid spoke hurriedly, squatted down and pulled the servant, looking extremely helpless, turned around and glared at Ilda to ask for an explanation.

Ilda saw that the red-haired mermaid's painful expression did not seem fake, and the mermaid really had no way to escape from the sea. However, after only a few days, she could no longer bear it.

The dehydration ability of ordinary mermaids seems to be even worse.

Having discovered such a huge weakness in the mermaid, Ilda almost laughed out loud, but she maintained a worried look on her face, taking all of Baiwei's anger in herself.

"Yes, this was my negligence. Don't worry, Your Highness. I will send someone to prepare enough sea water for him. Please calm down first." It was obvious that he was inconsiderate and did not sympathize with his subordinates, but deliberately took his anger out on those who were unaware of the situation.

This spoiled white tail has indeed been spoiled by the mermaid king.

I heard that the Mermaid King has two descendants, one of whom is self-contained and stays indoors all day, and the other is albino and spoiled. The Mermaid King has a hard time.

"Hurry up!" Baiwei frowned and urged unhappily.

The deliciously cooked meal was left aside, and the news that the mermaid had fainted due to lack of water spread quickly.

The palace servants hurriedly brought a large bucket of sea water and placed it in the side hall. They then lifted Xi up and soaked him in it, only then did they feel relieved.

The white-tailed mermaid seemed to realize her neglect of her subordinate and felt guilty, so she specifically told Xi to have a good rest recently and not to accompany her.

He also specifically ordered the palace servants who stayed around not to disturb Xi's rest.

Late at night, most of the lights in the palace were turned off. The beastly Argonas took Xi out of the back door of the palace, accurately avoided the patrol of the guards, and walked into a remote palace.

"Your Highness?" The two men in guard uniforms who were guarding the abandoned palace saw Argonas transformed into a human form and both happily went to greet him.

"Your Highness, I'm glad you're okay. We've been looking for you on the sea for a long time. Thanks to..." The red-haired guard whispered, and saw that Argonas was extremely excited.

"Arnold, Barry, we don't have much time. We'll talk about this later. Change your clothes." Argonas interrupted Arnold and pushed Xi over, signaling them to change their clothes quickly.

"I'll go guard outside." Seeing this, another person immediately went to the door to keep watch.

Although this place is remote, everyone in the palace knows about it, so we need to be cautious to avoid being discovered.

Arnold's hair isn't really red. It was dyed with paint to replace Xi. But the effect is very good. The hair color and curl are 80% to 90% similar, which is enough to deceive some people.

More importantly, Arnold can blur the memory of his own face in other people's minds. Previously, Arnold had found out a lot of things for Argonas based on this special ability, and he was considered an important general around Argonas.

"Thank you!"

After changing his clothes, Xi lowered his head to thank Argonas. Although he did not trust this human being, his Highness had his reasons for the arrangement.

I hope to obey your highness' orders unconditionally.

His Highness said that there are many of their fellow mermaids in Eniya who were captured accidentally or used for experiments. Mermaids cannot abandon their fellow mermaids. Even if there is only one left, even if there is only one corpse left, they must rescue them and return to Tislanton.

There is a special connection between mermaids, so he is the most suitable person to do this.

Carrying a heavy responsibility, Xi was extra cautious on this trip, and with the help of Argonas, he was less resistant to this group of humans.

"Go quickly. My people can't protect you completely. Be careful in human society. Amu doesn't want you to lose any limbs or tail."

Argonas smiled faintly and shook his head, not caring much about Xi's hostility or change of opinion.

"..." Xi wanted to refute the other party, saying that the other party was not allowed to call him "Amu". But time was running out, so he had to put on his helmet and followed Barry out the door.

The two men walked quickly, joined the guard team from the shadows, and left the imperial city.

Arno, who pretended to be Xi, followed Argonath back to Youmu's palace.
