Mermaid [Interstellar]

George opened the door and came in to report: "The amount required for the ransom has been collected."

Alice nodded and connected Heinrich: "We have collected the amount according to your request, now let's confirm whether our people are intact?"

Heinrich said impatiently: "Didn't you already read it?"

Alice: "I don't care, but the person who can't help paying wants to know the status of his baby."

Heinrich snorted: "That makes sense." He pressed the monitor and adjusted the camera: "Next you will see the hostages that will be taken tomorrow."

The camera turned one by one, and Alice frowned: "Where are the others?"

Heinrich: "You won't be able to see the next batch until our first transaction is completed."

Alice smiled angrily: "So you don't want to show me other hostages?"

Heinrich said slowly: "It's not impossible..."

He winked at Joseph who was on the side, and Joseph knew to leave immediately to prepare.

Alice said directly: "You should know who I want to see, other people... I don't really care."

Heinrich smiled lightly: "I know, it's just that you are so direct..." He had already connected the video to the cabin where the hostages were held, and what Alice said was clearly transmitted to everyone

These usually proud nobles had different expressions when they heard Alice's words, and some of them cursed in dissatisfaction.

Heinrich: "The person you want to see has a special status, we have given special care, please wait a moment, how about seeing these first?"

Except for Philip, everyone else was imprisoned together. Some knew that Philip had escaped, but they didn't know if he was caught. Now hearing what Heinrich said, some shouted loudly: "Why should the prince live alone?" In the meantime, we have to huddle together to eat and drink and Lazard is here?!"

Alice raised her eyebrows and looked at Heinrich.

Heinrich said straightforwardly: "Because you are not the sons of His Majesty, although you are also very valuable, you are obviously not as valuable as that one."

Alice: "It seems that your service is a bit unsatisfactory."

Heinrich: "We only bother with important people."

The camera turned and switched to another room.

The room was dark and disorganized. There were many things scattered on the ground. The light was too weak and the camera shaken. It was difficult for Alice to tell what those things were. She could only vaguely guess that they were book lunch boxes or the like based on their appearance.

Alice: "No one?"

"Why not, take a closer look," Heinrich said, turning the angle, "Let me take a look, here, the black mass in the corner."

Alice: "Zoom in for me, I can't see clearly."

Heinrich: "Not only do I want to zoom in, I also want to install a long-term monitor, but your highness said no, saying that it is to maintain dignity, otherwise I will go on a hunger strike."

"I still attach great importance to this captive's suggestion. After all, we are a humane team." Heinrich smiled wickedly.

The conversation between Heinrich and Alice was not hidden from the people in the other room.

Immediately, someone shouted: "Duke Alice, hurry up and get me out with money. After I get out, I will ask my father to give you money! You can have as much money as you want!"

Heinrich tenderly gave the camera to this man.

Alice remembered the parents of this person, who kept evading the lack of money, and sent the money over very late.

You say such big words, does your family know?

A cheating prodigal son.

……

George gave Alice a cup of tea with crinoids: "My lord, that figure... doesn't look right no matter what."

Alice rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "It's hard to say, if Philip is really sick, he will have all kinds of hypocrisy."

George thought for a while, and said, "But if it's fake... After all, we haven't seen the face."

"You can fake your face these days, just make it a temporary one." Alice took a sip of tea, "The figure looks quite similar."

George: "One more thing. The eldest daughter of the Mermaid King secretly contacted us and said she wanted to help us. How should we return her?"

"Her?" Alice paused, "Ask her the details of last night first, and it's best to find witnesses."

"Yes." George bowed and backed out.

What would have happened if the "Skeleton Group" hadn't caught Philip?

Alice rubbed the rim of the cup unconsciously with her fingers, lost in thought.Their purpose is very clear, that is, they want money.But taking such a lot of effort, kidnapping such a large number of people obviously offended all the dignitaries of the empire, and also offended the royal family, which aroused the emperor's jealousy.

What if the emperor attacked the Davis star field in a fit of rage to clean up these star thieves?

The risk of doing so is extremely high, and there will be endless troubles. Letting so many wealthy businessmen in the empire refuse, kidnapping these people is obviously harmless and not beneficial.

To say that it used to be the former Davis Star Field, Alice didn't think it was strange that Star Pirates had these ideas, but with the development of Yunhai Star, more and more people flocked here, Davis Star The trade in the domain is developing rapidly, and there are more and more rich people. How many Star Pirates still have these ideas?

Is your brain flooded?

Or do you want to challenge the difficulty and play an exciting game?

Alice's fingers dipped into the cup unconsciously, and the hot tea touched her fingertips, bringing her back to her senses.

This "skeleton regiment" is probably not simple. The equipment alone is worthy of people's investigation. The "grey pigeons" approved by themselves are not so powerful.

……

Pearl did not expect that he actually saved Philip again.

This person's face was already pale, it was obvious that he was dying from lack of oxygen, and he still didn't want to go up.

Don't go to Atlantis?

What do you mean?

Pearl dragged this man to the surface of the sea, and there were some faint lights in the sky. She squinted her eyes for a while, and then looked at the extremely embarrassed man behind her.

Was he hunted down again?

Could it be that this person is really the crown prince of the empire?

The bright spot seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and Pearl pulled the man down and swam away quickly.

If this person is really the prince, why is he here?

Why do you end up in this situation alone?

Despite all kinds of doubts, Pearl's speed was not slow at all, and he brought Philip to a small island.

This time it's really an island.

There is a small forest not far from the shore-in fact, this island is mainly composed of this forest.There are many seabirds inhabiting this island. Now is the time for the tired birds to return home. The arrival of the two of Pearl startled a large group of birds, and the sound of flapping wings was heard for a while. Then, seeing Pearl's fish tail constantly slapping the sea water, out of instinct, he couldn't help but dive down.

Pearl: "!!!" Longevity! ! !

She flicked the fish's tail, causing the sea water to stir continuously, causing waves. The birds saw that the fish was a bit big, so it was obviously not easy to mess with, so they circled a few times before flying back.

Pearl decided to put the blame on Philip.

When Philip woke up the sky was full of stars.

He looked around, and there were a few big black eyes shining in the darkness.

"Quack quack?" The sea bird tilted its head, raised its head and called a few times.

Philip: "..." Could it be that these seabirds saved him?Suddenly there was such an unrealistic idea in his mind.

how can that be possible?Philip shook his head to get rid of this thought. He was sticky all over, and even a little movement could shake out some fine particles.

He was still alive, and he was lucky.

Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to see that mermaid again?

If it was true, then she had saved herself again.Where has she gone?

Suddenly, a small piece of light appeared in the dark sea water, and the warm yellow dots in the sea water were shining with the bright moon in the sky.

Philip looked over unconsciously, and took two steps back suddenly—who was it?

Are those star thieves?Or the little mermaid?

The sea water was churning gently, and a golden head protruded from it.

Philip stared wide-eyed at the mermaid in the sea, and the beating heart in his chest suddenly calmed down.

The long golden hair of that mermaid stretched out in the sea water, and the silver moonlight cast a soft light on her face. She had blue eyes that were the same color as the sea, and her long and curly eyelashes were still fresh from the sea water. With a drop or two.

Philip felt his heart beating uncontrollably again.

Pearl went to find a mermaid walking aid, which can help mermaids who can't change their legs temporarily walk on land.

She stopped at the shore and greeted Philip: "What are you doing standing there? Come here soon, I brought you something to eat."

Philip and Pearl sat down on a larger reef by the sea.

The sky was full of stars, the sea breeze was blowing, the waves were roaring, and there was a beautiful woman beside him. Although the food was not satisfactory, Philip thought it was not bad.

Philip: "I thought you wouldn't come back."

Pearl brushed her hair that was blown by the wind: "No, I'm just going to get a walker and help you get some food."

In Philip's ears, these words became "I'll get you some food and a walker along the way".

Philip looked at Pearl's blue fishtail and asked doubtfully, "Can't you melt your legs yet? Are you underage?"

Embarrassed, Pearl avoided, "I just can't melt my legs for the time being."

Philip responded enthusiastically, "Is there any problem? I know many experts, including the mermaid expert from Yun Haixing."

"Eat yours." Pearl didn't want to talk anymore.

Philip: "Speaking of which, I still don't know your name. You have saved me twice."

"Pearl."

"Pearl," Philip repeated. "Pearl? Pearl?"

Pearl nodded and nodded, watched Philip finished eating, and said, "Since you want to repay the favor, you can push me around the island."

Philip: "So simple?"

"Then what else?"

Pearl took out the tools in the backpack and drew a shotgun from it.

How understanding Philip thought his little Pearl was!

Considering that it is difficult for him to live alone and cannot adapt to the mermaid diet, he even prepared tools for him to be self-sufficient.

Although...he won't use it.

Pearl: "Do you know how to use this gun?" This is what she found after searching for a long time in the warehouse.

Philip shook his head, and then hurriedly said: "But I can learn it, this should be a very old style, and it shouldn't be difficult to operate."

Pearl glanced at him, raised his hand and fired a shot at the woods.

Philip: "???"

All kinds of birds chirped, and a large group of birds woke up from their dreams and flew out of the woods in panic.

Pearl fired a few more shots, scaring the birds too much to go down, they kept circling, and then put them away in satisfaction.

Philip: "..."
