Mermaid [Interstellar]

Philip looked at the little mermaid in front of him, with long golden hair floating in the water like seaweed, and clear and clean eyes like sapphires. He could clearly see his own degenerate reflection, and his skin was like white jade, which seemed to glow.

Compared to her, I was like a tramp who was picked up from the dirtiest sewer on the most backward planet.

Although this is almost the case now, Blue Star can be regarded as the planet with the least sense of technology in the empire.He lay on his back on the reef, quite self-defeating, so embarrassed, it was the first time he had grown so big.

"Is there anything else you need?" Pearl frowned. Who is this person showing "the world has nothing to worry about, let me die"?

It's not good to jump into the water immediately if you want to die. Also, don't jump in front of her, wait until she is gone, so that she won't feel heartbroken.

——She saved this man with great effort.

Philip looked at the mermaid in front of him as if he suddenly realized that there was someone beside him, and asked sincerely, "Do you... have anything to eat?" After being caught by the star thief, he created a small chaos, pretending that someone was running away , Those subordinates lost the boss, and soon panicked.Afterwards, he took advantage of the diversion of the guard's attention and jumped into the sea. Although the movement was a little louder and he was discovered, he still escaped anyway, didn't he?

Even if I encountered a storm, I was safe in the end, and someone saved me!

Anyway, the star thieves did not find him in the end.

Philip didn't eat anything else at the banquet, and was only interested in drinking. After soaking in water for so long, his stomach has long since had nothing real, it's all liquid.

"No." Pearl didn't want to be troublesome, and she had to hurry back to the Crystal Palace, "You can figure it out yourself."

"Then what do you mermaids eat?"

"Sea water, or—" Pearl casually picked up some seaweed and gave it to him.

"..." Philip looked at the few seaweeds, his eyes were full of disbelief, even the mermaids of Yunhaixing didn't eat these things before.

Blue Star is indeed a backward and closed planet!

Why hasn't anyone come to rescue me yet!

How Alice governed!

Philip looked hopeless.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Seeing that Pearl was about to leave, Philip hurriedly grabbed her. Pearl's movements were too fast, and he only had time to grab a few strands of her hair and tear them off abruptly.

"Hiss—" Pearl gasped in pain, turned around and glared angrily at the ignorant man in front of him. He saved him by himself, but he was still so rude to him!

"What's the matter with you!"

Philip was taken aback by Pearl's fierce tone: "Uh...can you send me to land?"

Pearl stared at him for a long time without answering.

"is it okay?"

"Isn't it right here?"

Philip dilated his pupils in shock. This Blue Star is not only backward, but also the quality of the aborigines here. They don't even have common sense. What did Alice do? !

"The land I mean refers to a large piece of land with people living on it, rather than a rock that can only lie on a person like now." Philip talked and compared, so that Pearl can understand better , "Do you understand that?"

Pearl gave Philip a contemptuous sideways glance. Does this person think she is mentally handicapped?

"Of course I know, but why should I send you there?"

"Because I am—" Philip suddenly stopped talking. The situation is grim now. The mermaid living in such a backward place may not understand how difficult his situation is now. Maybe the gang of star thieves are still looking for him.Philip silently swallowed the words "Imperial Crown Prince" and said, "I want to eat."

Pearl nodded: "It makes sense, but I really don't know where the land is, and it's not easy to find it." She spread her hands helplessly, expressing that she couldn't help.

Philip looked at her pitifully: "Then do any of you have food that anyone can eat?" He deliberately emphasized the word "people".

After saving people to the end and sending the Buddha to the west, Pearl didn't get angry and said, "What do you want to eat?"

Hearing the impatience in Pearl's tone, Philip quickly changed his words: "Just eat what you can!" The hero can bend and stretch, and he is still a good man after eating!

"Okay, just wait."

After Pearl finished speaking, he jumped and dived into the bottom of the sea.

Philip wiped his face and dried the splashed water from Pearl: "You must come back!"

This kind of self is really like a little wife who is waiting for her husband to come back with a small white handkerchief!

Especially without the panache that an imperial prince should have!

Philip complained again: When will someone come to save him? !

……

The time goes back to the time when the "Skeleton Group" sent the information to the information department of the Emperor Star Empire.

In a huge office, everyone has a monitor in front of them, and there are huge monitors hanging on the wall.

"Reporting sir, we have received an encrypted message claiming to be from the 'Skeleton Corps'."

"Decode and see."

The huge display on the wall is quickly connected:

Dear Majesty the Emperor, hello, the guests on the spacecraft "Endeavour" are currently visiting us, please prepare the most ransom you can, and we will contact you later, thank you for your cooperation!

Kidnapping information.

The Minister of Information focused his eyes: "Notify the military department immediately, and also, check who is on the 'Endeavour'."

Although many star thieves make their fortunes by kidnapping tickets, they usually just rob the sons of wealthy businessmen and threaten their families to hand over ransom. people's home.

Did the kidnapper send the wrong person?

The Minister of Information wondered secretly, or did he not want to release those civilians, and wanted to use them to threaten the empire to pay ransom?

At best, the empire would choose to send troops to the rescue. Obediently paying the ransom is a sign of weakness in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, and he will never allow it.

Don't these star thieves know?

"Report sir, I don't have permission to view the information of Endeavor."

"What?" The Minister of Information raised his eyebrows. Isn't this a simple case of kidnapping and extorting hostages?

He pushed away the technicians on the side and quickly entered the permission password. The moment he saw the registration information, his pupils shrank suddenly.

He quickly closed the permission page and ordered: "Immediately track down where this message is sent from! Speed!"

Then he immediately got through to the Royal Secretariat and asked to see the emperor.

Emperor Star Emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was called out from the bed by the attendant with a dissatisfied face: "You'd better make it clear what's important, or else..."

He yawned and took the paper handed over by the secretary, and immediately sat up straight: "What's going on?! Where's the minister of information? Where's the marshal? Call the relevant people over for a meeting immediately!"

The secretary immediately stepped forward and said, "The notification has been made, and they will be here soon."

"Very good." The emperor nodded, quickly put on his clothes, sorted out the details as he walked, and rushed to the meeting room.

The participating officials all looked at the person in the first seat with trepidation.

The emperor looked stern, and tapped the table with his fingers, as if hitting everyone's hearts.

The Minister of Information took the report that came out after working overtime, and tried to maintain his steady tone: "The currently tracked comparison sending location is Blue Star, and there are several other planets that are also very likely, respectively..."

The emperor raised his hand and pressed down, and the minister of information immediately shut his mouth tightly.

"The governor of the star field where Blue Star is located, is it here?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the corner of their eyes kept sweeping back and forth.

In the end, it was the emperor's secretary who stood up and whispered in his ear, "No notice."

The emperor slapped the table: "Notify me immediately, what time is it!"

"Blue... the ruler of Blue Star is Duke Alice." Someone couldn't help but whisper, "But Blue Star is an autonomous planet."

Autonomous planets, a system established by the empire when it was fighting in the universe, are specially set up for those planets that are difficult to conquer.The star field rulers where these planets are located will serve as their superiors and issue various imperial orders to them.If the native lord of the planet had a tougher attitude, as long as he didn't get caught, the superior would be nothing but a display.

Therefore, if there are autonomous planets under a star field ruler, they will be left alone, and the autonomous planets can pass them directly to the center.It can be said that the indigenous lords of the autonomous planet are already equivalent to a star field ruler, but the place they manage is only one planet.

In a sense, the indigenous lords of the autonomous planet and the rulers of the star field are at the same level, and the lords can completely ignore the orders of the rulers.

The emperor held his breath for a while, and asked aggressively, "Where's the military headquarters? Where's the news about the Endeavor?"

An officer of the military department stood up, shaking his legs: "The registration information of the Endeavor does not have the entry and exit registration of Blue Star..." Under the gaze of the emperor, he rolled his tongue and continued, "' The Endeavor counts as an illegal entry."

The meeting room was silent. The prince of a country, who knew the law and broke the law, lost himself and was captured by the star thief.

In the empire, all spacecraft called "ships" are civilian-grade spacecraft, and are not allowed to be equipped with weapons. However, since the "Endeavour" is the prince's private spaceship, considering his special status, it has added armed modifications, and it is still being carried out at the military headquarters. registered for tracking.

Can this be stolen by the stars?

You must know that the armed transformation of the "Endeavour" is not carried out according to the number of years, but is equipped with new weapons and updated at any time.

And the equipment of the interstellar pirates may not be updated every ten or eight years, and many of them are out of use by the empire, unless they wave a lot of money and have a way to find new weapons that dare to sell them.

However, there are almost no star robbers with such abilities.

It's like an adult with a real gun can't beat a kid with a water gun.

Thinking of this, the participants became even more silent.

This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are playing big!

At this moment, everyone thought in unison.

The emperor darkened his forehead wearily. His son's death has exceeded his imagination. The autonomous planet itself does not obey the rule of the empire. Otherwise, the star field master will not let it go. If there is a conflict, This then leads to the exodus of the autonomous planet, and they are responsible.

He summoned his secretary: "Call for Alice and ask her to come see me quickly."
