Mermaid [Interstellar]

Heinrich, the leader of the "Skeleton Group", has never responded to Alice.

Erwin knocked on his legs and half-closed his eyes, his voice was weak: "Are we going to waste like this forever?"

Cyril scanned the information in the terminal, put his fingers on the table and tapped: "I'm afraid we don't have that much time."

The "Skeleton Group" has evil intentions, if the stalemate continues, they will also suffer.

Alice lowered her eyes, allowing Erwin and Cyril to discuss, but she said nothing.

After poking her, Erwin looked a little dissatisfied: "Alice, you should say something."

"Ah—" Alice seemed to have just reacted, and responded slowly, "The 'Skull Squad' won't make friends... What can I do?"

"..."

Erwin hated that iron could not be made into steel. Isn't it because the emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuchs? Lan Xing had the closest relationship with her. They were in a hurry here, but she was in a daze over there.

Alice yawned lazily, and looked at Cyril with a half-smile: "I don't share blood feud, do you have a solution?"

Cyril: "..."

……

"Pearl is here." George whispered in Alice's ear.

Alice stood up and was about to leave, but Al, who was sitting beside her and had been paying attention to her, held her back: "Don't, you want to leave to meet your little lover before the discussion comes to an end?"

"..." Alice raised the corners of her lips silently, "What's none of your business?"

Cyril came over and took a look: "Alice, I'm actually also curious about the relationship between that little mermaid and you."

Erwin really has a big mouth.Alice glared at him and slapped Erwin wildly in her heart.

"It's not Pearl, it's someone else."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened, and the breath of the ocean rushed in.

Alice: "..."

Pearl looked innocent, she was brought in by George, who quietly turned and retreated.

Hidden strength and name.

Erwin laughed so hard that he fell on the table, and slapped his palms on the table frantically: "Alice...cough cough...cough cough..." He burst into tears.

Lies will be punished.

——The slap in the face came so fast.

Pearl: "Actually, I came here to say..." She raised her eyes and carefully looked at Alice's face, seeing that she couldn't see anything, so she continued, "My Fifth Sister was probably also killed by the 'Skeleton Group'." 'Caught it."

Fifth sister?Alice paused, it must be a merman... Reminiscent of the uniqueness of the members of the "Skull Squad", she comforted, "Your sisters will be fine."

Pearl looked at her earnestly: "Can you rescue her... It won't be too much trouble when you save His Highness the Crown Prince." She finished speaking hastily, for fear that Alice would not agree.

Cyril: "Your Fifth Sister, how did you get arrested?"

This seems to be the second prince of the empire...Pearl thought uncertainly, the reason...it's too embarrassing to say it.

It was confirmed that Lanxing wanted to learn from Yunhaixing.

Alice will be upset, right?

Pearl thought uneasily, looking straight at Alice: "I...I..." He hesitated, but couldn't say it all the time.

"Don't say it if you don't want to." Alice said, "She... I will try my best."

Erwin stared at Alice, what about Philip?Why didn't you agree just now?He hummed, kicked the legs of the table, and protested silently.

Cyril, who was on the side, carefully studied Pearl's appearance, and then looked at his own reflective hair on the wall of the cup, and pressed down with his closed palms and fingers - her skin color happened to be ivory white.He raised his eyebrows inexplicably and stopped talking.

……

Alice kept Pearl.

"It seems that every time you come to my place, you either come out of trouble or come and go in a hurry." said the Duchess.

Pearl who came here twice in total: "..."

Alice coughed a few times, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and fell into silence.

The two were silent for a moment.

Seeing that Alice didn't cast her eyes on her, but seemed to be thinking about something, Pearl also turned her attention to Alice openly.

—she found Alice really attractive to her.

"What are you looking at?" Alice asked suddenly.

Pearl was caught off guard and tried to put on an innocent look: "I'm looking at you."

...It doesn't follow the routine.

Alice suddenly couldn't react, she didn't expect Pearl to admit it so bluntly.

Pearl smiled: "Alice, you are so pretty."

Alice was silent for a moment: "...Thank you."

Pearl: "I like you."

……

The sea is blue and the sun is shining brightly.

Alice sat alone on the reef, looking at the endless sea.

The hot sun scorched her skin, and she squinted her eyes as she looked at a sea lily that was rolled up by the waves not far away.

It is now the seventh year that Blue Star has joined the empire.

Farther away from her, there was the roar of machines and the cries of workers—the construction of Atlantis was in full swing, and a prosperous city was gradually taking shape.

Holding an umbrella, George walked to her side slowly: "Your Excellency, you have been sitting here for a long time."

If you sit down again, you will suffer from heat stroke.

Alice asked: "How long can the diving equipment that can withstand the strong corrosion of Blue Star seawater last?"

"Eight hours."

"Bring it."

George didn't move, and said for a while, "You should go back."

"Julie says she's doing well."

"..."

"I want to go see her."

"..."

"She's much better."

George did not speak, but expressed his disapproval with actions.

"You still have a lot of meaningful things to do."

Miss Pearl has turned into a mermaid, and her physical condition is still very poor. George is really not optimistic about this relationship.

What's more, now that Blue Star has just joined the empire, all parts of the empire are paying attention to Alice's movements, and the bloody smell of the Yunhaixing incident has not completely dissipated. The attitude of the current star field governor towards Blue Star is very important.

"I'll go and have a look." A gust of sea breeze blew, with heat and fishy smell, Alice's voice was particularly dry and hoarse in the wind.

"Go back," said George.

Since the death of the old Duke, George's supervision of Alice's education has become much stricter.Alice knew that he hoped that she would grow up as soon as possible, so he was stricter with her on weekdays.

Alice knows George's loyalty and painstaking efforts,

Just because George stopped her, it doesn't mean that Alice has nothing to do.

That night, Alice sneaked out of the room, stole a set of diving equipment from the warehouse and ran to the beach alone.

George wouldn't let her go, as long as she didn't go under George's nose, wouldn't it be fine?

Alice thought simply, but she didn't know that George had seen through her little thoughts early on.

Still naive.

George sighed silently, looking at the dark sky in the distance, the black waves submerged Alice's figure in it.

The sea water at night was very cold, even though Alice was prepared, she couldn't help shivering.

The characteristics of the blue star sea water made the scientific research and technical personnel of the empire very headache. The research and development work specifically for the blue star has only slowly started. The most important consideration for the current diving equipment is to resist the corrosion of the blue star sea water.

How did Blue Star's mermaids survive in this sea?

Alice was suddenly worried about her Pearl.

Following the route Julie gave her, she sneaked all the way to Julie's residence.

The sea water shimmered under the reflection of the glass cover, with white ripples shining. Alice raised her head, and could vaguely see the glowing green plants inside.

... a little scary.

The deeper the sea, the colder it was. Alice stomped her feet and waited patiently for Julie to open the door for her.

For Alice, Julie dared not speak out.The duchess was her savior and helped her realize an experiment she had wanted to try for years.

The power is compelling, Alice's order, she dare not disobey.

...However, can you think about the problem that she is already in her twilight years?

In the middle of the night, I suddenly said that I was at your door. Don’t you know that it is difficult for the elderly to fall asleep and lack sleep? !

Julie was bleary-eyed, yawned and received Alice energetically.

Alice cut to the chase: "I'm going to see Pearl." No extra words.

Julie: "..." This point? ? ?

"Can't you?"

"..."

Alice looked at Julie's residence, and pointed to the glass cover structure above: "The one above shouldn't be cheap, right? Tell me, how much did it cost?"

Does this mean checking accounts?

Julie swallowed hard, and the drowsiness disappeared in an instant.The funds Alice gave her had been stated early on to be used on Pearl, and she took part of it to build this...

Julie wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist: "There are some medicinal herbs planted in it, which are very useful for Pearl..."

Alice snorted, noncommittal.

Julie continued to explain honestly: "This kind of glass is already the cheapest one I can find. The corrosiveness of Blue Star Seawater is really too strong, and there are really not many materials that can be used."

Alice: "Take me to Pearl, and I'll give you the most expensive and best one later."

Julie: "!!!"

Seeing that Julie was still in a daze, Alice frowned: "Why, don't you want to? According to the corrosiveness of the blue star sea water, this shouldn't last long, right? You'll have to replace it in a short time, don't you? Want to change to a cheaper one and use it?"

Jolie's spirit was revived, and she felt that she was instantly full of vitality and enthusiasm: "Take me, I'll take you there right away. Do you want to secretly rob someone and bring her back, or have a night party with a mysterious lover?"

"..." Alice twitched the corners of her mouth, "Why do you care so much? Take me to the Crystal Palace!"
