I won again lying down today [Zhongyingmei]

Under the clear sky, the underwater city of Atlantis will be shrouded in faint sunlight, looking from a distance, it looks like a shining glass bead.

Ah Yan raised his head and watched for a while, then couldn't help but lower his head and stroke his tail.

No matter how many times I watch it, I feel that the fishtail is really amazing, and it feels completely different from human beings.

A patrol team passed by from time to time, seeing the little mermaid immersed in the light waves, their eyes softened involuntarily, and they stopped: "Your Highness."

Ah Yan nodded embarrassingly, took a step back, and said shyly, "How are you guys?"

Then after the neat queue left, they tilted their heads unconsciously and flicked their tails to see the color of their hair and tails.

For most merfolk, the hair and tail are not the same color, but there are exceptions, which can look extraordinarily beautiful.

And there are many such beautiful and exceptional existences in the patrol team.

As an important defense force of the royal city, the patrol team not only possesses powerful force, but most of the members also have handsome faces.

This also made Ah Yan wonder for a while, although there is no clear regulation, whether there is a hidden requirement for appearance in the selection criteria.

The mermaid officers who used to have a straight posture and advanced at a constant speed, with their unusually keen senses, soon noticed His Highness looking eagerly at him.

For some reason, he suddenly became a little shy, and after all the mermaids looked at each other calmly, they flicked their tails and slipped away.

Ah Yan:?

I had no choice but to pinch the big shining shell in my hand, scratch my cheek, and left with a flick of my tail.

The seabed is a huge and magical world, which also breeds the beauty of mountains and rocks and magnificent wonders, but what attracts Ah Yan the most is undoubtedly all kinds of sparkles.

Especially in sunny weather, the pale golden light almost makes the clear sea water transparent, and you can pick up a basket full of them while swimming at the bottom of the water while walking.

Ah Yan wandered around for a while, and came to a huge building in the shape of an ancient altar. Looking around, he found that there were not many people, and slowly dragged out a basket made of seaweed from behind the rockery.

The basket was not big, about as high as a person's knee, and it was already filled with a layer of large shells.

The little mermaid took a look at it, grabbed a rope of aquatic plants, tied up her soft hair, then pulled the basket, buried her head in picking shells.

According to the ancient tradition of Atlantis, if a warrior who is about to go out can have a shell necklace made by his relatives, he will be able to return safely.

Everyone knows that, according to the current situation in Atlanta, it will be a matter of time to start a war with neighboring countries.

Therefore, although there is no definite news yet, many mermaids have already started to prepare for this matter.

Ah Yan followed suit.

Although under Loki's blockade, she hardly heard any speeches about the subjugation of the country, but she was not stupid, and the tense atmosphere in the city had told her everything.

In Thor's tearful accusation and Tony's secretly gritted teeth, Ah Yan knew that Loki was a little prince who liked to do bad things.

But in her current view, there is probably a reason for that, because in her eyes, although Loki likes to bully people a bit, he has always been a responsible king and a good brother.

And now he is guarding and fighting for this huge and declining empire.

He should have what other people can have.

It's a pity that there are only two people left in the withered royal family, so the progress is a bit slower, and Loki doesn't seem to want her to know about it.

Ah Yan poked his chin, picked up a pale gold shell in one hand, flicked his tail, and started squatting to pick and choose.

Scattered around were also squatting shell pickers. When they saw the busy little highness, a flash of understanding flashed across their eyes, and their eyes softened a lot.

Although in theory, shells can be used anywhere, but for the Atlanteans who believed in gods, the vicinity of the ancient altar was obviously more popular.

It's just that the beautiful shells here are relatively rare and more difficult to find.

The people of Atlantis are simple and honest, and the mermaid race naturally respects the royal family that protects their home country. Seeing His Royal Highness busy around, many people help her consciously or unconsciously.

The string of shells in Ah Yan's hand has grown into a long circle, and it is in the final stage, but they are still being carried to the shell branch by the mermaids.

I heard several waves of the same template: "Wow, have you found a good place? Let's go there."

This kind of dialogue, no matter how dull it is, Ah Yan also understood, embarrassed to keep his face silent, smiled at the mermaids, and quickly left with a string of shells.

Regardless of whether he is busy or not, Loki spends most of his time in the palace, discussing the national conditions of Atlantis, or reviewing news from various places.

When Ah Yan came in, he happened to be not too busy. He was looking at a piece of paper with lowered eyes, and from time to time he picked up a pen to write something on it.

There were two tall mermaid guards at the gate of the palace. When Ah Yan entered, he only bent his eyes and smiled, and was not notified.

As the only little mermaid with a noble status and the royal family, this place is completely open to her, and with the connivance of the new king, she can listen to even the most confidential information.

Naturally, there is no need to report.

Although he sensed someone coming in, the iconic fiery red tail easily made Loki aware of the identity of the person coming.

The little king, who was still a little busy, raised his hand and pointed his slender fingertips lightly into the void, indicating that she was playing by himself, and he still had some government affairs to deal with.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was not a little mermaid flopping around and spitting bubbles, but a shell necklace that was hung around her neck, made so cute and ugly that people couldn't help but want to laugh, but unexpectedly softened her heart.

Loki paused slightly with his fingers holding the pen.

He closed his eyes, and the curled and thick eyelashes fluttered slightly before opening them again.

The little king's eyes were emerald green, like fine gemstones, and little by little, there was a heart-wrenching smile.

As the successor of Atlantis, he certainly doesn't know what this ugly and cute necklace represents and how it came about.

In his original opinion, his little mermaid didn't need to do this kind of thing, and His Royal Highness Atlantis didn't need to be busy and hard to do this kind of thing.

But it is precisely because of this that when you receive it, it will make people feel... touched.

It was as if the soft fingertips stretched out by the little mermaid pierced the heart just right.It's amazing how soft and unbearably sore it feels.

The little king grew up loved by thousands of people, and he didn't know why he felt emotional for such a small maintenance and love, but he had already rolled his eyes first.

He stretched out his fingers and tore the little mermaid's soft face into dough, as if that was the only way to express his love, and then smiled viciously: "Did I say don't do these, it's a reward."

Shocked, Ah Yan spit out bubbles and rushed out the door.

Ah Yan, who escaped from the tiger's mouth, rubbed his pinched face, feeling lingering in fear.

In fact, it didn't hurt because there was no force, but Loki's bright smile just now reminded her of Thor's fear of being dominated by the God of Lies.

Just... it's better to run first as a respect, save your energy, and fight next time.

There are caravans in the city that can trade with people on land, and they are setting up stalls in the square, exchanging items with mermaids in need.

In fact, because the well water does not interfere with the river water, the connection between the land and the sea is not much.

But neither humans nor mermaids are completely uninterested in the sea or the land. In addition to the "Peace Agreement", this created the existence of sea and land caravans to exchange novelty items from both sides.

Like pearls and gems in the deep sea, it is a huge temptation of money for human beings, but it is not worth mentioning for mermaids.

Like exquisite handicrafts of human society, mermaids are very interested, but humans are dismissive.

Ah Yan got more than half of the news about the land from here, including the messy newspapers and books she collected that were confiscated by Loki.

It's embarrassing to say, it's obviously a very common thing, just want to see if there is any news about Tony, but every time Loki confiscated her newspaper, he would use:

[You ignorant fish, pearls and treasures are not good, you can like such things. 】

Looking at her like that.

Ah Yan wanted to report that he disrespected the right to fish.

But even so, every time he saw Hailu merchants, Ah Yan couldn't help but listen to them, and then read some newspapers.

The little Highness of the Underwater City is already a frequent visitor to the caravan, and the mermaid is a race that favors cubs. The boss laughed when he saw her swimming over.

"Your Highness." He is a blue-tailed mermaid who is enthusiastic and respects rules. When he saw Ah Yan, he first saluted very respectfully, and then smiled and took out the newspaper that was specially left in the box.

At the same time, he accompanied Ah Yan to look around very gently: "What do you want to hear this time, Your Highness?"

Ah Yan bowed his eyes to thank the person, then held his chin and thought about it.

"Is there anything up there, and then, have you found someone named Tony Stark?" The little mermaid blinked, and first buried herself in the newspaper, but she couldn't help being a little disappointed when she didn't see a familiar name.

Seeing the low appearance of the little mermaid, Bunier couldn't help but pause for a moment on his resolute face. He thought about it seriously, but found that he had no relevant memories.

So he shook his head apologetically, and said softly: "Sorry, Your Highness. But I did hear about an important thing."

His tone became a little lighter, as if he wanted to cheer up the depressed little mermaid. Seeing her beautiful eyes light up a little bit, a smile appeared on his lips.

He continued: "I heard that the Grand Duke of the Visertu Empire has recently come to the waters of Atlantis. He doesn't know what to do, but he often holds some grand balls."

"The ball was held beautifully. We took a look at it from a distance when we were exchanging. It was in the newspaper. If His Highness is interested, you can take a look."

Ah Yan blinked, spread out the newspaper, searched carefully, and saw a photo of a brightly lit giant ship.

The cruise ship in the photo can't see people, there is only a small blurred shadow, which can't be seen clearly.

Obviously nothing can be seen, Ah Yan looked at it seriously, but for some reason, his heart moved.

"What's the Duke's name?" She lowered her head, almost lying on the smooth paper, trying to distinguish the figure clearly, and asked in a low voice.

Boss Bunier shook his head regretfully: "I don't know, in the Visertu Empire, no one dares to call the Grand Duke by his first name."

Ah Yan squeezed his ears, and for some reason, his heart became more excited for a moment.
