The Dragon King is weak and helpless but can eat [Interstellar]

Lu Shanhuai woke up from his sleep.

Outside was still the black waves lapping on the glacier.There was a pile of data under his elbow, and the data on the holographic screen was still beating.

Dozens more combat ships have just set off.Seven hours ago, Song Qianqian saw a large group of skeleton mermaids, and then brought back a living skeleton mermaid.

But when the next batch of ships approached that sea area, they couldn't find any trace of the skeleton mermaid at all.

This is very abnormal, because according to the experience of more than 50 years ago, they will not leave the fixed sea area so quickly, because only the bone lair can breed more skeleton mermen.

There are layers of corpses in the white bone nest, and countless skeleton mermaid eggs are parasitic on the white bones, absorbing the nutrients of the corpses to grow little by little.

Those corpses were people or strange beasts who died in a shipwreck.

In other words, if it is necessary to support the reproduction of such a huge skeleton mermaid, someone must be continuously gathering corpses.

In addition, the pilgrim-like corpses found in the deep sea next to the main island before, after identification, it was found that they came from different periods, but without exception, they were missing or died at sea.

But who would be insane enough to keep a corpse for so long?How is it possible to carry them one by one?

Years ago, the Society had suspected a connection between the Skeletal Merfolk and the Sirens, who appeared in tandem at the same time.

Perhaps only this legendary beast can control everything under the waves.

These are just suspicions, they haven't seen the skeleton mermaid for six or seven hours.They seem to hide themselves well so that no one will find them.

They should not have this kind of IQ, presumably there are "people" behind them.

Lu Shanhuai had just woken up when another pile of data flooded in.The terminal automatically starts to classify and analyze, but it still has a lot of work to do.

Let's dispatch the next batch of ships to set sail first.

He thought a little tiredly, and subconsciously opened the terminal to check the time——

On the lock screen of the terminal are three smiling people, he and Lu Shanyao are standing side by side, Lu Shanyao is hugging Lu Shanqing who is braided.

Lu Shanhuai couldn't help smiling, and just as he was about to put down the terminal, he received a message: [I'm coming to Beien]

The sender is Lu Shanyao.

Lu Shanhuai was stunned, and looked at the scheduling panel. Sure enough, a spaceship from the main star of the alliance had just landed, and the scientific researchers on it were going to follow the Bridge of Damocles to the Land of Eternal Night.

He knew before that there would be a scientific research team coming to urgently restart the skeleton mermaid research project, trying to improve the signal flare and develop a poison for mermaids, but he didn't expect his brother to come.

After all, this kind of scientific research personnel who came to the scene did not have much self-protection ability, and it was very dangerous in an emergency.

He frowned slightly, and wanted to send something to Lu Shanyao, but in the end he closed the terminal and continued to prepare to dispatch the ship.

Until another commander knocked on the door and came in.

He looked at Lu Shan hesitantly, but finally said: "The 'wise man' is here."

It was that formalistic lackey, the censor who once asked hunters to write "Wise Men's Week" at the association.He came to Beien after he was so angry with Shen Chaomu's "I help the old lady of Yishou to cross the crooked neck tree" that he resigned.

With his background, he must be in charge here.Lu Shanhuai hadn't seen him at the outpost for the past few days, but this suddenly popped up.

Lu Shanhuai didn't plan to take care of this person, and spent an hour or two sorting out the ship's information, and waited until another commander came to hand over, and then left the command room to take a rest.

The temporary command room was on a combat ship, and it took him 5 minutes to return to the former tourist hotel on land-most hunters rested in the hotel.

As soon as I entered, I saw a bald little old man in the hotel lobby.He is about 60 years old, and the name tag on his chest reads "Sun Fu".

This is the famous inspector.

He was full of energy, and in front of him was a bunch of tired hunters.

Sun Fu said: "What's the matter with your fleet? How many times have you said that you have to fan out during patrols? How can it be in such a mess?"

A hunter tried to argue: "At that time, we just received an alarm from the skeleton mermaid, and we thought we had to get there early, so..."

Sun Fu interrupted him: "Who gave you the authority, can you destroy the formation in an emergency? Don't you know what will happen if you violate the order at will? The association does not allow such mistakes, we should be the most professional people, Who is the commander of the fleet?"

"It's me," said a hunter.

Sun Fu looked at him and said in a rather unfriendly tone: "What on earth are you thinking? Have you fed the dogs for the usual training? Let me tell you that I have seen many strong winds and waves. Your actions this time are enough to remember. I will report to the..."

"Don't be in a hurry to be held accountable, let's solve the immediate problem first." A voice came suddenly.

Sun Fu looked back and saw Lu Shanhuai standing at the door of the hotel expressionlessly.

Sun Fu frowned: "Who are you, which branch?"

Lu Shanhuai tapped in the air, and the association's business card automatically appeared in the air: "Senior Commander Lu Shanhuai."

He was well-known in the association. Sun Fu had obviously heard his name before, and after a moment of stupefaction, his tone remained unchanged: "You mean that I shouldn't care about this..."

"You should take care of it." Lu Shanhuai said, "But they have been working continuously for more than fifteen hours, and now it's time to rest." He turned to the group of hunters and said, "Go back to your room first."

Those hunters looked at him and then at Sun Fu, and left hesitantly.

Sun Fu was so angry that his face was flushed, and he was about to speak again, but Lu Shanhuai didn't have the heart to entangle him too much, and said directly: "I dispatched and commanded that fleet, if there is any fault, don't ask the fleet commander. Wait. After the matter is over, you can hold me accountable."

He bypassed Sun Fu and went upstairs, and faintly heard the man yelling at him alone.

When I got back to the room, I felt tired as soon as I sat down.

Lu Shanhuai sat on the bed and wanted to send a message to Lu Shanyao. He typed dozens of words and deleted them all because he was afraid of disturbing his brother. Finally, he only asked: [How is the situation there?be safe】

no respond.

Probably still busy.

Lu Shanhuai leaned on the bed and held the terminal, thinking about waiting, but fell asleep, his hands drooped more and more, and finally let go of the terminal and fell on the bed.

He was awakened by the blaring siren.

He froze for half a second before bouncing up abruptly, and it was shown on the tactical channel that a large number of skeleton mermaids were gathering.

The exact latitude and longitude of the assembly point was displayed, which was twenty kilometers north of the scientific research station.

There happened to be a team of hunters there

Lu Shanhuai didn't even have time to change his shoes, and ran back to the command room panting all the way.The holographic screen is exactly the picture from the scene:

The combat ship was surrounded by a huge and terrifying vortex, and countless skeleton mermaids were swimming underwater, the skin and flesh on their faces were rotting. When the godless eyes looked at the sea, the lights of the combat ship reflected a pale and strange light.

In just a few ten minutes, a large number of skeleton mermaids gathered in this sea area, and quickly surrounded the five cruising combat ships without even giving them a chance to escape.

They didn't attack rashly, but blocked the combat ship when it tried to leave, as if... waiting for something.

Soon Lu Shanhuai knew what they were waiting for.

Surrounding the middle of the vortex is a black reef.

Her tender white feet stepped on it, and her hands gently lifted up the gorgeous white cake skirt.

The petite girl's long hair is like golden sunshine, she just appeared from the sea, but her body is not wet at all.She wears two necklaces around her neck, one in sea blue and one in coral red——

Red shining coral necklace.

The Beien sacred object that was stolen on the main island before.

The reef was a bit steep, and it took her a while to walk up with her skirts. During the period, she almost lost her balance.

Her face was exceptionally good, the tip of her nose and cheeks were frozen red, her blue eyes were sparkling, and a certain elegance was condensed into her every move.

Just by looking at her, everyone will know that she is of noble birth.

The skeleton mermaid under the sea was swimming faster and faster, almost as if they were celebrating around her.

This harmless girl could never be human.

"Shoot" one person shouted, and three seconds later, five whale hunting spears fired at the girl at the same time.

Their tips shone with a gloomy cold light, carrying an electric current that could paralyze the target, and even the solid skin of a dragon whale could easily pierce through it.

However, several skeleton mermaids jumped up from the water in an instant, forming a solid barrier. The terrifying sound of the bones being completely smashed came, and the spear several meters pierced through three or five mermaids before stopping. They stopped with their bodies. this attack

Then a few mermaids rushed towards the underwater torpedo like suicide, sparks exploded underwater, and they blocked all attacks that dared to get close to the girl.

This crazy look looks like the loyal subjects are desperately defending the princess of the dynasty.

The girl gently lifted the hem of her skirt again, bowed her knees slightly and nodded to everyone on board, and after gracefully saluting, she said in a standard Union language: "Good night everyone, I dedicate this song to Edgeworth Mo Fee."

The voice is ethereal and crisp.

When she stood up straight, everyone present could feel the terrifying mental power rising like a tsunami.

I saw her light white hands gently pressing on her chest, and she spoke——

The rhythm of the song seems to come from the old North En.

At that time, whenever the full moon rose and the stardust surged, Beien people finished their day's work and sat on the beach or rocks in twos and threes to sing songs.The children were playing on the shore, writing star-like words deeply on the sand, only to be carried away by the waves in a blink of an eye.And the mermaids hummed softly, their singing sounds like gentle waves rising and falling.

But it's more charming than this old rhythm.

——Sparkling ocean under the moonlight, beautiful shells, gentle reefs and lighthouses, shining scales of mermaids.

The sky with different colors every day, towering lighthouses and huge ice floes, as well as the bright colors dripping from the sky, the sea water is transparent and colorful in the starlight.

The castle was ablaze, the mud and rocks were vacated and restored, and the collapsed watchtower was restored to solidity.When the tide surged, the royal family swam through the deep sea under the protection of the guards. Their clothes were dotted with stardust, shining brightly. Every gemstone under the sea was gorgeous and could shock the sea of ​​stars.

The girl sang softly, and the old mermaid dynasty walked slowly amidst the singing.

And through the long undersea tunnel...

I'm coming to you.

These images are integrated into the melodious voice.

Another close attack of fiery lightsabers, torpedoes, and whale hunting spears, but the number of skeleton mermaids is incredible, and they cooperate with each other to guard the girl, and the strength of five combat ships is far from enough.

The singing was melodious, and everyone gradually became deeply intoxicated by it.

A few minutes later, no matter how Shanhuai shouted in the channel, the offensive of the battleship stopped completely.

They were crying or laughing, kneeling down involuntarily, stretching their hands forward——

Like a pilgrimage, the moment they stretched out their hands, the skin began to wrinkle, and the flesh decayed rapidly.

This scene was extremely strange, the kneeling people gradually revealed their pale bones, the underwater mermaid was like a black whirlpool, and the girl with porcelain white skin was still singing, and the crown was shining.

Glacier listened quietly, the stardust in the sky sprinkled the brilliance, the waves did not dare to make noise around her, and the turbulent undercurrent turned into silence.

There was only her singing between the sky and the sea for a while.

The whole Bei'en is attached to her.

……

Long Shiyu followed behind Shen Chaomu.

Shen Chaomu was walking through those old bookshelves row by row, checking to see if there were any other traces left by this mysterious visitor.

Long Shiyu followed suit casually, and suddenly heard Shen Chaomu say: "There is a rumor in Bei'en that Princess Karen Heckna was actually adopted by the royal family. Her long golden hair doesn't seem to be inherited from No one in the royal family even looks like her mother at all."

"Really?" Long Shiyu said, "Why did you suddenly mention this matter?"

"...It's just a little skeptical," Shen Chaomu said, "When I heard the singing on the main island, I really felt the image in the spiritual power. I also felt the residual spiritual power when I went through the undersea tunnel. With the mental power of ordinary people, no matter how strong the emotions are, they can’t leave such a strong image that I can capture now.”

He continued: "Some of these flashback memories, I always feel, are too similar to the legendary Karen Heckner's experience. It may be just a coincidence. After all, it is too incredible for the royal family to adopt a strange beast. However, We'll know the answer."

"Oh." Long Shiyu nodded.

He was not interested in books, and continued to quietly follow behind Shen Chaomu, walking past the frozen bookshelves.

He followed and suddenly found that the princess seemed to be much taller than himself

Long Shiyu was so immersed in the joy of having a princess that he never noticed it.

He wagged the tip of his tail in disbelief.

After all, princesses are petite and cute.

Walking through a few more bookshelves, and after repeatedly tiptoeing to compare, Long Shiyu finally confirmed a fact indistinctly and reluctantly:

The princess was almost half a head taller than herself.

The dragon's self-esteem was hurt again, he wrapped his tail around the princess's wrist sadly: "Oh." QAQ

Shen Chaomu said: "...What is this? I haven't started shaking your dragon horn yet."

Long Shiyu said: "You are too tall."

Shen Chaomu: "..."

Shen Chaomu: "Huh?"

Long Shiyu was not willing to share this embarrassing thing with the princess, so he stopped talking, letting Shen Chaomu continue to search in the library with question marks all over his head, thinking, it seems that there is no ancient record that dragons hate long Tall people?

There are not many clues here, but on the second floor of the library, there is another door that has been opened and closed repeatedly.

Shen Chaomu, who was very puzzled, and Long Shiyu, who was very sad, searched all the way, and after spending several hours, they finally came to a room at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor.

Pushing open the door, there was no trace of frost inside, it was just a very ordinary room, as if the owner had just left.

The room is not too big or too small, the plush carpet is soft, a dream catcher hangs on the bookshelf, the wallpaper is pink, and a map of Beien is nailed to it.On the soft bed is a plush toy of a bear, and on the table is another teacup with the same plush brown bear painted on it.

People who live here must enjoy life very much. Every corner is spotless. There are a few sticky notes with ancient characters on the desk lamp. The plants beside the table are lush and green, and they have been carefully taken care of at a glance.

There was also a quill on the table, and an open book.

Shen Chaomu stepped forward and casually flipped through two pages.

The content inside is written in Beien ancient script, and also in the common language of the Union, mostly like a diary.

Long Shiyu went up to watch with Shen Chaomu.

They turned the pages one by one, picking out the Union language part to read.

【January 1nd, it’s been seven years since I moved back to the castle. I cleaned the room today, and I still like it here】

[On March 3, I felt a little uncomfortable.I brewed two cups of black tea, one for myself and one for Xiaoxiong, the tea will become astringent if steeped for too long, I should buy some new tea]

[On March 3th, I secretly went to the market to buy some tea and bread. I only had gems. I took them out to surprise the merchants and gave me a lot of money.]

[On April 4th, I saw the coral necklace again, and I wanted to get it back, but it would definitely be found.But today a tourist asked me to take a photo, although I was happy, but I still had no choice but to refuse it]

[April 4th, still feeling a little uncomfortable, slept all day]

[May 5th, I read books in the library all day today, and I like the book "Land and Wind" the most, but I am still sick and dizzy, so I went to bed very early]

[On May 5th, a good friend came to play with me]

The picture next to it is a cartoon version of the skeleton mermaid, holding beautiful shells and pearls in their hands.

[On June 6, I felt that my condition was getting worse, and I slept all day, and I was a little worried that I would not get better]

[June 6th, I slept all day, and my spirits are not good]

[June 6th, only the power of the throne can cure the disease, I have always known it]

Every day's diary is a few short sentences, but it can be seen that she is insisting on recording.Shen Chaomu's eyes wandered to the side, and there were dozens of such thick notebooks stacked up——

He took it down casually and flipped through it, it was also a diary every day.

Such a diary volume of thousands of pages is only possible with hundreds of years of records.

There is also a collection of poems in the diary, which should be the one taken from the library.

Shen Chaomu pulled it out, and the title of the collection of poems was "The Starlight Is Like Your Skirt".

The author signed Edgeworth Murphy.

It took a long time for the name association to find the source, but now it suddenly appeared.

Like a... poet?

Shen Chaomu was about to say something to Long Shiyu when he saw the young man's eyes fixed on the diary and did not move.

Long Shiyu turned over a few pages of the diary just now, and just stopped on a sentence.

[August 8th, I can't die]

[On August 8th, I read his collection of poems again]

Shen Chaomu pointed to the diary: "This 'he' most likely refers to Edgeworth Murphy, and then... the strange beast is Karen."

"En." Long Shiyu nodded.

Shen Chaomu quickly realized that what Long Shiyu was looking at was not these two sentences, but the next one.

【August 8th, the condition is very serious, if I die...】

【If I die, who will remember him? 】

What followed was a completely meaningless repetition, each stroke was extremely forceful, as if trying to tear the paper.

【If I die, who will remember him? 】

【If I die, who will remember him? 】

【If I die, who will remember him? 】

"...What's wrong with this sentence?" Shen Chaomu asked, lowering his voice instinctively.

After a moment of silence, Long Shiyu looked up at him.

Shen Chaomu felt that he would never forget this look in his life.

This look is really too complicated, with hundreds of turns and twists and turns, like crossing a long icy river to see the fire, like going through a long trek without being able to speak.

Thousands of past and thousands of words are hidden in it.

But in the next second, Long Shiyu bent his eyes and smiled again: "There is really a princess here!"

He threw himself into Shen Chaomu's arms with a dragon attack: "I like the princess the most."
