Atreus pulled Lily and ran for four streets while the passers-by looked at them with surprise or envy, and then stopped thoughtfully.
"Speaking of which, who is responsible for the security of Mermaid Island—what's wrong with you?"
Judging from how he easily carried him swimming at high speeds in the sea, Lily should be very good at sports, but after only running for a short while, her face was already red, her breathing was short, and she was shaky.
[I'm fine QAQ] Lily held up the sign with difficulty: [This is what happens when you exercise strenuously just after switching from gill breathing to lung breathing QAQ]
"..."
It's too outrageous to add biological authenticity to a supernatural race! Ocean Demon!
"Then just walk slower." Atreus was silent for two seconds and continued the topic: "Fighting is allowed in this 'Kingdom of God'? Is there anyone in charge?"
Will you be kicked out of the solitary room if you fight in the solitary room?
[I don’t know, there were no humans in the Kingdom of God before, and if there were fights between mermaids, fishmen, and sea kings, there would be corresponding penalties.] Lily took a breath and the contents of the sign in her hand became more organized:
[By the way, you haven't seen a Neptune type yet, look over there, it's a relatively small 'Neptune type'→】
Text conversations are really convenient, but the listening party needs good eyesight. When Atreus looked in the direction Lily indicated, he saw a huge...lizard turtle?
To be precise, it is a strange creature with a lizard-shaped head and limbs, but a thick turtle shell on its body. It is dragging a giant container that is about the same size as itself onto the beach, and then lies there, waiting for it to arrive.
Mermaids and fishmen unloading goods on the beach.
[That Neptune creature was punished by Lord Shirahoshi for hauling goods because he made a mistake.] Lily shook her word sign: [And those working on the beach are the 'Ryuugong Guards' who are responsible for matters related to Mermaid Island, public security, and conflicts.
And 'Xiuhai Yaksha' - no wonder James appears here.】
"Oh? Responsible for the security of the island and the sea respectively?" Atreus analyzed the meaning literally.
[No, they are responsible for guarding Dragon Palace City and patrolling the towns on Mermaid Island respectively.] Lily blinked strangely: [How could it be unsafe in the sea?]
"..."
He must have run too fast just now and his head didn't turn around. This is the ocean dimension. What he said just now is equivalent to warning the people of Asgard not to stand under the tree during thunderstorms or else they will be struck by thunder.
[But let’s go quickly,] Lily looked at it for a while, passed Atreus and started to lead the way: [Although you won’t be hurt, you will be in trouble if James and his men arrest you.]
"Can people be arrested without relevant provisions?"
[It's not according to the terms.] Lily looked back in the direction she came from and said: [James himself is a member of the patrolling Yaksha, codenamed 'Prongs'. If he gathers a few Yakshas who also take the same rotation to cause trouble for you, there will be no trouble for you.
If you are bound by the terms, you will suffer a loss.】
Didn't you see that he was hung up just now?...But purely in terms of appearance, he does look like a fork.
"How often are these terms updated?" Atreus actually didn't care much about this, but he had to find a way to return to the arena. If he was entangled by the local armed forces of Mermaid Island...
Well, wait, this game seems to be played at 200 times speed, compressing 1800 days into about a week. Unless the time here is synchronized with the stadium, you will probably find that the entire game is over when you get out.
No, Bai Xing probably wouldn't do this. What good would it do her to cheat her own team?
[Usually at four o'clock in the morning every day,] Lily held up a sign: [Sir Bai Xing will release a 'maintenance patch' on the 'History Text' to repair and update various problems that arise in the 'Earth's Inner Sea'. What do you think today?
Just hide away for now, you should be fine tomorrow.】
"..." Atreus thought that she had stayed in Hogwarts for so long, and it could be said that she already knew the Lord of the Ocean Dimension very well, but now she could actually refresh her understanding of her.
Whether there will be problems in the "Kingdom of God" with all the permissions, or whether she directly announces the specific contents when fixing these problems, it is not like what a universe demon should do - she does not need to maintain authority in front of her subordinates and subjects.
Of?
"What is 'historical text'?" Atreus asked instead about such an unfamiliar word.
[That is a huge cube placed deep in the coral jungle, which records all the repair and update records of the 'Earth's Inner Sea' from its birth to the present.] The sign made of water in Lily's hand is constantly updated: [But because of the information above
It is too large, and for privacy reasons, each reader can only see the records related to him/herself.]
"Hmm." Atreus thought.
In fact, Asgard also has such records, but it is controlled by the "three goddesses of fate" Urd, Verdandi and Skuld, but they never reveal their respective roles.
They all know everything, but what they occasionally say is vague and confusing. It is far inferior to the "historical text" that you can read freely. Should you really go and read it...
[We are here~] Lily waved the sign in front of Atreus, and after successfully attracting his attention, she updated the text: [This is the 'Coral Apartment' with infinite rooms. People who have just arrived in the inner sea of the earth will
They are assigned a dormitory until they choose where they want to live and move out.】
Infinite? Atreus looked at the very simple, tall building in the shape of a castle with red bricks and white tiles in front of him, and raised his hand to press the hand-shaped sign that read "Press Me" outside the door.
[Atreus Laufeson, Room 402.] The screen above the logo displays.
It was actually arranged. Atreus looked at the apartment door that opened in response, raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at Lily: "Want to come in and sit down?"
"!
"The Little Mermaid froze in place and even forgot to hold up the sign.
Atreus waited for two seconds before realizing belatedly that even without considering the special customs of Mermaid Island, this invitation had a special meaning in most civilizations.
"——!" Before he could say anything to make up for it, Lily had already thrown the sign away and ran away.
【Have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow!】
——[Don’t dare to let yourself get too close]——
"..." Atreus looked down at the water sign that was gradually dissipating due to lack of sustaining power, and shrugged.
There is no time to rest now. The top priority is to confirm the time flow rate of the "Earth's Core Sea" and the method of leaving. Bai Xing has locked himself up and has not shown up until now, so he can only find it by himself.
The heavily guarded and relatively important Ryugu Castle is inconvenient to infiltrate, so it should be no problem to go to the "Historical Text" which is not very important and can be read by anyone and wait for her to update it - unless she updates it remotely.
Of course, you can also take a look at it to see if there are any maintenance records about you.
