Mermaid [Interstellar]

Chapter 8 Chapter 08

Philip was stuck for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "This is unscientific."

Pearl glanced at him: "Do you still want to go ashore?"

Philip: "...yes."

"Then listen to me," Pearl said, "I'll take you to Atlantis."

"You also have Atlantis here?"

"Also?"

"The central city of Yunhaixing is also called Atlantis." Philip thought for a while, "Your Atlantis should have been built after Alice came here."

"Atlantis was indeed built not long ago. It is an island where mermaids and humans live together." Pearl heard the name "Alice" for the first time. "However, I have never heard of such a person. Her name is Alice? What has she to do with us?"

Philip nodded: "She is the ruler of the star field where your blue star is located. You don't know, maybe you haven't learned it yet—you are too backward here. If you go to a higher civilization, you have a chance to learn this —Of course, you saved me, and I'll take you there."

Pearl murmured to himself, these were things he had never heard of before: "Then I really thank you."

Philip waved his hand: "No thanks, no thanks."

"..." Pearl resisted the strong urge to roll her eyes, and took a deep breath, "Then I'll take you there, can you still swim?"

"Yes! Don't underestimate people!" Philip was full of confidence.

Pearl took Philip to Atlantis. Along the way, Philip told Pearl a lot about the world beyond Blue Star in order to understand the boredom.

Pearl was very curious about the world beyond the blue star that Philip said: "Is Yunhai star the capital of our star field?"

"That's right," Philip went on and on, introducing Pearl with the intention of arousing her interest. "Yunhaixing is the largest transportation hub and commercial center in the empire, and it is very prosperous." Ignorant and ignorant, he must arouse their desire for knowledge and dissatisfaction with fate, and encourage them to leave the blue star!

"Oh..." Pearl was thoughtful. Unlike Philip's passionate look, she seemed very calm and still had the energy to guide Philip in swimming: "I think if you don't swim faster, we won't be able to reach Asia before dark." Of Atlantis."

"..." Philip wiped his face, "Can you take a break?"

"Can you breathe underwater?"

Philip puffed up his chest, very proud: "Our royal blood is the best, of course, otherwise, how do you think I escaped those star thieves?"

"How long can you breathe underwater?"

"Half an hour."

"Okay, let's start." After Pearl finished speaking, he pulled Philip down suddenly.

Philip was pulled in this way, and unexpectedly followed Pearl to sink to the bottom.

He waved his hands and feet in astonishment: What are you doing? !

Not gentle at all!So savage! !Does this backward blue star produce this kind of mermaid! ! !

"The stars have been stolen." Pearl said simply, ignoring Philip's struggle, and forced him to hold him down. "You stay here, I'll go and see."

"Okay." Philip said unconsciously, choked on a few mouthfuls of salty sea water, couldn't help coughing again, and inhaled more sea water.

Pearl: "..." Is this really the prince?Is it really not mentally handicapped?

Also... very gentle... this little mermaid is not bad...

Looking at Pearl's disappearing figure, Philip thought unconsciously that he began to trust her gradually.

Pearl quietly floated to the surface of the sea, and fell behind the group of star thieves, watching them search in a daze on the sea.

Listening to the received report, Joseph frowned deeply: "The person disappeared in the blink of an eye? Are you sure it's the person who escaped last night?"

The subordinate hesitated a little: "Make sure...otherwise why is he hiding from us?"

Joseph patted the table: "Yes, yes, no, no, make it clear!"

His hands trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Joseph yelled: "Keep looking! We must find it, we must see people in life, and corpses in death!"

One of his subordinates stepped forward boldly: "If this person is lost, he will be lost. Anyway, we still have others, so he is not missing..." The following words were automatically silenced under Joseph's gaze.

"It's all right to talk about it in front of me, but don't talk nonsense in front of the boss." Joseph paused, and then said, "It's a good thing if you don't know about some things, just do your things well, and the rest Never mind."

Seeing that the star thieves began to search more vigorously again, Philip might not be able to hold on if they continued to search like this.

As the king of the water, the mermaid not only shows its advantage at the top of the food chain, but also suppresses other aquatic creatures.

Pearl dived back into the deep water and summoned other fishes to come over and give an order: hinder the group of star thieves.

The nearby swimming fish received Pearl's order, and they all gathered to surround the star pirates and hit the star pirate ships.

"These fish..." Joseph stood on the deck, saw a flash of gold on the sea level, and squinted his eyes, "Don't do anything to these fish!"

However, it was too late, and those who were impatient had already started, the red blood was smeared, and some fish came into contact with the bloody smell and hit the hull even more frantically.

Seeing that they were entangled, Pearl dived down to grab Philip, swam quickly, and dragged Philip to the port of Atlantis.

"You...you..." Philip was still in shock, and he spoke breathlessly, "You can swim so fast, why didn't you... bring me here earlier?"

"You're too heavy, and I'm tired of dragging you." Seeing that the star thieves didn't catch up, Pearl breathed a sigh of relief: "There are people here now, you can go ashore by yourself."

"Okay... where are you going?" Seeing that Pearl turned around and left, and Philip wanted to grab her again, Pearl sensed his movement and dodged quickly to prevent her hair from being torn off by him again.

Pearl: "Going home, of course."

Philip licked his dry lips after coming out of the sea, and licked a layer of salty scum on his tongue: "You won't come up with me? Uh... I mean, how can I repay you if you don't come up with me? you."

"It makes sense." Pearl looked down at his fishtail, "but I can't change my legs yet."

"Aren't you an adult?" Philip frowned, did he abduct a juvenile fish? "Blue Star's tradition should be the same as Yunhaixing's—mermaids can only go out to sea when they are adults, right?"

"I'm an adult. I'm just weak and can't change my legs!"

"Then what should we do now?" Philip said, "I originally planned to recommend you to study at the Imperial College of the Imperial University—it should be difficult for you to be admitted to a school on a planet with a higher civilization? As long as you have a letter of recommendation, you don't need to take an admissions exam. You don't have legs, how are you going to do this?"

"Can you study without taking an exam?" Pearl was surprised, "There is such a school?"

Mermaids don't mean to stay on their birth planet for the rest of their lives. After all, they are considered citizens of the empire and enjoy the same rights as they should.As long as they are adults, they can change into legs. In fact, they are not much different from humans.After they become adults, they can also take the educational examinations of other civilizations in the empire, and be admitted to universities on planets with higher civilizations.

So were Pearl's older sisters.

Since Pearl failed to turn her tail into legs, she didn't take the admissions test.Although there are robots that can assist mermaids with only tails to walk on land, Pearl doesn't want to use them, it would make her look like a disabled person.

Pearl: "Although you have always said that you are the crown prince of the empire, and although I have never believed it, let me believe that you are a nobleman from the emperor planet."

Philip: "..." The little mermaid co-authored never believed what he said from the beginning to the end!

Regardless of Philip's expression, Pearl said, "You can write me a note, you won't renege on your debt, will you?"

Philip's face was already dark: "Of course not."

"That's good." Pearl nodded, turned on the terminal on his wrist, pressed a few keys, and the terminal immediately projected a light curtain, which read in interstellar common characters:

Now Pearl rescued xxx from danger, xxx was determined to repay, and promised to give a letter of recommendation to the Royal College of Pearl Imperial University.

Signature: Pearl

"Open your own terminal, fill in the name yourself, just replace that xxx with your name." Pearl handed over the light curtain to Philip.

With the development of science and technology, everyone is now equipped with a terminal for connecting and surfing the Internet, just like the mobile phones worn by people in the ancient earth era, but the functions of the terminal are more abundant.Everyone's terminal also has the function of identification and authentication, even in the backward planets, but compared with developed planets, the terminals of developed planets are naturally more advanced and have more functions.

For example, comparing Pearl's terminal with Philip's, Pearl's is several generations old and Philip's is the latest.

However, there are many basic functions whether it is a high-end machine or a low-end machine, such as the simplest signature. Since the terminal has the function of identification and identification, the contract signed using the terminal also has legal effect.

Terminal... Philip looked at the scrapped terminal on his wrist in a daze—his terminal had been interfered with and destroyed when he was kidnapped by the Star Thief, and then he jumped into the sea to escape, and the terminal had already been corroded.

Blue Star's seawater has always been highly corrosive to these instruments!Otherwise, the empire would not have been unable to attack for a long time and sent Alice to negotiate!

"I... my terminal is broken."

"Are you kidding me? My lord?"

Pearl was smiling, but in Philip's eyes, the smile was not good no matter how you looked at it.

Mermaids are beautiful, but they are cruel...

Philip suddenly remembered what he had reminded his friend Vincent.

It is said that the mermaids were cannibals before they entered civilization...

"I'm serious, look at my terminal, it's really broken! Look at it, it's really been corroded by the seawater of your blue star!!!"
