Draining the sea water while allowing all creatures to breathe freely is one thing, strengthening the strength and physique of the residents in the city is one thing, and making most evil creatures inaccessible is another thing.
Of course, the most important thing is the Morning Star, which can completely simulate sunlight. This is the key point for Atlas to have a complete ecological cycle, and it is said to be the core of the operation of the entire Mystery.
There is one final checkpoint to enter Atlas from the passage, which is usually two mermaids asking you why you came to Mermaid Island and where you are from.
In fact, there is a mystery, and ordinary evil creatures cannot get through it. As for the unusual ones, ordinary people obviously have no way to identify them.
So under normal circumstances, these inspections are just a formality, but now that it is the wedding of the mermaid princess, this inspection will be much stricter.
After several players and NPCs at the front were found to have problems, they were escorted away by several senior guards before they had time to resist.
This change caused great panic to the people at the back of the queue.
After all, to be honest, those who are so anxious to come to Mermaid Island obviously do not have good intentions, and it is reasonable to be afraid.
However, as a druid and half-elf who believed in Mielikki and Sandakol, and with his hidden identity as a Harper, Sherlock naturally had no worries in this regard and successfully passed the inspection without much questioning.
To his surprise, Samagar, who entered the pass with him, actually completed the inspection before him.
The origin of this pirate is mysterious, and he is a guy from the chaotic neutral camp. How did he get here?
No matter what, the two of them entered Atlas smoothly.
Although Atlas is the imperial city of the mermaid clan, it is actually not just a large city like Susar, the capital of Cormyr. It is more like Myth Drannor, which was once located in the Cormanthor Forest.
From the forests, fields, mountains and rivers on the periphery, to the villages, towns and factories in the middle, to the main urban area in the core, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small kingdom.
These large and small buildings are arranged layer by layer in a compass shape, and the ravines in the middle are connected by sea water, forming what outsiders call the "undersea garden".
Coming out of the passage, Sherlock and others should be in Waterwheel Town on the northern edge of the city.
Most of the residents in the town are sea elves, mermaids, water elves, and merfolk, and a small number are adventurers from the surface. Of course, most of these adventurers are players.
The base number of hundreds of millions is here. Even for a game with a vast background such as Forgotten Kingdom, except for some forbidden areas, it is difficult to ignore the existence of this group of players in other places.
Waterwheel Town is not a prosperous place, and there are not many high-end monster areas nearby, so most of the players active here are newcomers.
After casually inquiring about Atlas's customs and customs, the two of them took a crocodile car and rushed to the center of the city.
The fish cart is probably a unique means of transportation in the underwater city. Although this sea beast living in the deep sea is huge, it is a rare creature that is gentle and easy to tame.
Through its unique air cavity and specialized membranes, the Frillfish can quickly shuttle through this underwater city.
"Hey, my friend from the elves, are you here to attend our princess's wedding too?" On the fish cart, a mermaid looked at Sherlock and asked.
There are a total of 18 passengers in the car. Except for 5 local residents, the rest are all outsiders. As the only elf (in the eyes of non-elves, half-elves also belong to the elves), Sherlock does not need to communicate.
It was natural for him to win the favor of these five local residents.
This is not entirely because of the charm, but because the entire city of Atlas has a vague hostility and exclusion towards races other than aquatic creatures and elves.
"Of course, Princess Leylia is the pearl of the entire Starfall Sea, oh, no, the entire Faerûn. Even though we are thousands of miles apart, I will come to witness her happiness."
For mermaids, praising them is not as good as praising their princess. Sherlock's hypocritical words immediately won the favor of these five NPCs.
So within the next six hours, the other party enthusiastically introduced him to the scene in the center of the city in detail, and one of the young mermaids even volunteered to act as a tour guide to accompany him on the rest of the journey.
However, firstly, they had other purposes, and secondly, the other party was a male fish-man, so Sherlock could only politely refuse the other party's request.
The place where everyone got off the bus was Coral Hill, which should be the most prosperous town in Atlas, and the most central part of the city that outsiders like them can visit.
Further in there are Mermaid Bay, Yufuli Mountain Villa and Mermaid Imperial City. Only local residents can enter these places.
Different from the Waterwheel Town at the beginning, the players on Coral Hill are not only large in number, but also quite extraordinary in strength.
In addition to the bustling commerce and abundant services, another reason that attracts them is the nearby Sea Forest.
The Forest of the Sea is a huge forest that occupies nearly one-fifth of Atlas, and is the only place in the entire city where evil creatures can exist.
From the sea monkeys who are more than 20 levels in the outermost to the forbidden women who are in the 70s and 80s in the center, monsters of all levels exist, making it the most ideal holy land for upgrading.
Because many sunken ships in the sea were transported here along with the flow of the tide, the Forest of the Sea is also known as the "Ship Graveyard".
For players, searching for sunken ships in the forest is also a very interesting thing. You might be able to find some forgotten treasures inside.
After arriving at Coral Hill, the two separated. Samagal went to gather information alone, while Sherlock shamelessly went to see Mirru.
The location agreed upon by both parties was the famous Mermaid Cafe in the town.
The design of this coffee shop is very luxurious and full of fantasy, and the owner and employees of the shop are all mermaids.
From these two points alone, you can tell that the cost of this coffee shop is not much lower. After all, you will never see a mermaid in a maid costume asking you gently what you want to drink in any other place.
In the words of many male gamers, doesn't it seem appropriate to pay more for this?
The date was set in a place like this, and Sherlock was already prepared for bleeding. However, when he walked into the coffee shop and saw the three ocean sisters from the Trident Tavern sitting next to Mirru, he still couldn't help but give birth to a child.
The thought of turning around and leaving.
Five people can't spend tens of thousands in this store, and you, the only male, will definitely pay in the end.
If No. 11 were here, he would definitely complain about why his master couldn't find a girlfriend for so long.
It didn't matter if you had no money before, but now you are a man with a net worth of several million. You can buy any piece of equipment for tens of thousands or tens of thousands without hesitation. Why would you have such concerns about inviting a few women to dinner?
