Chapter 55 Do you want to go to the bottom of the sea as a guest?
Vacation?
A demigod vampire led a group of people of unknown origin and controlled a floating island to fall from the sky, making the nearby mirror elf soldiers patrolling in fear for a whole day and night... but it turned out that the purpose was just for vacation?
Galenie's first reaction was that it was ridiculous, her second reaction was that there must be something fishy, and her third reaction was that people deliberately concealed themselves so that they could not be questioned. It would be better to admit this statement, so that both sides would be better off. Presumably the same is true for Her Majesty the Countess.
I don’t want everyone to be embarrassed, so I thoughtfully chose this seemingly absurd reason... but it’s actually really absurd, but it barely makes sense, right?
As her mind was spinning rapidly, a decent smile appeared on Galenie's face: "It turns out it's for vacation. It's the season when spring and summer alternate. The blue sky and sea scenery are beautiful, and the climate is pleasant. It is indeed a very suitable place to visit.
, your leisurely and leisurely manner is extremely enviable."
She believed such a nonsense reason. It seemed that Alice's seaside holiday plan was not so ridiculous.
Neville glanced at Galenie: "Are you really just a captain of the mirror elf patrol team?"
What does this mean? Doubt my identity? Galene's smile became a little stiff, and she replied dryly: "I don't think anyone in this sea dares to pretend to be a soldier of Nereids. Of course.
, If Miss Neville really doubts my identity, I can also prove that this is the nameplate and badge I registered with the City Defense Corps..."
Neville waved her hand to stop her from taking out the nameplate and badge from the armor, and said casually: "I'm just a little surprised. With your IQ and EQ, you shouldn't be just a squad leader. Have you ever considered it?"
Can I actually have higher pursuits?"
Is this a compliment to me?
Absolutely?
Galenie's smile can't be stretched anymore.
Fortunately, Neville had no intention of continuing to torture her. Bullying a mere Sequence 8 mirror elf captain as a demigod was indeed not considered decent. She sipped her black tea and talked about the topic lightly.
Pulled back: "Let's get down to business, Miss Galenie. I generally know the reason for your coming. It's just that Nereids are worried about the purpose of outsiders like us suddenly appearing in this sea area. But to be honest, we
We are indeed here just for vacation, and will leave here soon for Lottana, so you don’t need to worry. If you are really worried, I allow you to send troops to monitor the island, but the number cannot be too large, and there is no need to
Too close to avoid scaring the children on the island. I think since both sides are seeking a peaceful solution, this small request shouldn't be too much, right?"
Who are the children on the island?
Metien and Xiemi tilted their heads in unison. Xiemi, who was secretly adding sugar to the guest's black tea, sneered and discovered the truth: of course it refers to the magic plants in the herbal garden! Their IQs are indeed as high as those in the herbal garden.
There is no difference between the children, and they are still the kind of annoying naughty children.
"Please wait a moment." Galenie's ears keenly caught a certain keyword, and she leaned forward slightly: "Miss Neville, did you just say that you will leave here soon and go to Lottana?
Is it in the market?”
"If nothing else happens," Neville replied.
If nothing else goes wrong, when Alice comes back with the swimsuit she has been obsessed with, the group can officially embark on a vacation. Although they are not going to the city of Lauterdale but to a remote area that has not yet been developed, this kind of
There’s no need to talk too much to people you don’t know well, right?
A detail that Neville thought was insignificant soon led to a small misunderstanding.
"In that case," Galenie sat upright, cleared her throat, and said to Neville in a serious and formal tone: "On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen of Nereid City, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Miss Neville and
Your companions extend a sincere invitation, hoping that you will come with me to the city of Nereids to meet with Her Majesty the Queen. She has a very important matter that she wants to discuss with you."
"..."
This invitation came so unexpectedly that Neville didn't react for a moment. But Leticia's eyes lit up: Can we go to the bottom of the sea? Maybe we will have a chance to see a real mermaid, and a prince who fell into the water. Then we will definitely
To stop the mermaid from saving the prince, you have to kill him in advance.
The vampire girl who clearly hated fairy tales but believed them to be real, used her crazy eyes to hint that her grandmother would agree, but Neville would not make such a rash decision just because she was her granddaughter. After all, her words were likely to
It is related to the safety of everyone on the island. When Linge and Saint Xalia are not here, she is the most reliable person on Yunjing Kong Island, and has the responsibility and obligation to be responsible for the safety of others.<
/p>
The countess raised her long and slender eyebrows, like twirling an arc-shaped crescent moon: "Her Majesty the Queen of Nereids wants to meet us to discuss something?"
"To be precise, there is something I want to ask for your help." Galene said seriously: "As for the specific matter, please forgive me for not revealing it because it involves the royal family, but Her Majesty the Queen's sincerity is absolutely true.
The oral message she sent back clearly mentioned that no matter whether the matter can be completed or not, you will be given satisfactory rewards and you will be regarded as Nereids' eternal friends. If you encounter any trouble in this sea area in the future,
We, the mirror elves of Nereid, are willing to pay any price to help you solve it, as long as the request is not too excessive."
Just listening to the verbal description, this is undoubtedly a very sincere promise, and it is also guaranteed by the Queen's credibility. It seems that there is no need to worry about being unable to fulfill it. But the more it is like this, it means that Her Majesty the Queen hopes that Neville and others will do it.
The more dangerous the matter is, not to mention that Galene also said that this matter involves the royal family... Could it be that there is civil strife in Nereids City, and someone wants to seize power? Only this kind of situation can make Her Majesty the Queen put down her face and not hesitate to ask outsiders.
of help.
But if there is really a civil war, then Galene's reaction would be too calm. At least Neville couldn't see any anxiety in her eyes and expression. If even a Sequence 8 team leader under her could be like this
With a calm attitude in times of crisis, it is only right to believe that Her Majesty the Queen can quell the rebellion without the help of outsiders.
It’s really confusing.
Neville had put down her teacup and began to face the conversation seriously: "If even Her Majesty the Queen, who rules a huge city, tens of thousands of kilometers of sea and hundreds of thousands of subjects, would feel embarrassed, it must be difficult for outsiders like us to help.
What are you doing? Or do you want to use my force to defeat a difficult and powerful enemy? I am not a mercenary."
"Absolutely not so." Galenie quickly explained: "The tricky part about this matter is not that the other party is strong or not, but that it cannot be solved by force, so I rely on your help. Of course, I am talking in vain.
You will definitely have doubts. In this case, why not consider my proposal just now and follow me to Nereids City to meet Her Majesty the Queen and let her explain it to you personally?"
This brings us back to the original question.
Neville fell into silence. She looked around, and it turned out that Leticia and Metien were communicating with their eyes, Xiemi was secretly eating snacks, Shelia was pretending to mix drinks seriously, and Xiesta and Olvera were not there... The only thing
The only person who can make the decision is yourself.
She thought for a while, after all, it was her first time here, and the other party's attitude was very sincere, so... the reason for rejection should not be too strong.
She chose the most reasonable reason: "We are all a race on earth and cannot stay in the deep sea for too long."
"It doesn't matter!" Galenie was already prepared: "I will use the origin... uh, sea magic to apply underwater breathing and deep sea adaptation to you. With these two magics, even the races on the ground can easily
Quickly adapt to the environment in the sea. Moreover, most of the buildings in our city of Nereids are modeled after the buildings of the races on the earth. You will never feel any discomfort living among them!"
It turns out that there is this kind of magic. Neville was not familiar with the magic of the mirror elves. She was slightly silent after hearing this, and then said: "Actually, several of our companions have already entered Lottana City, and we are waiting for them here.
I’m afraid it will be inconvenient to leave when I return.”
This refers to Ringo, Alice and Saint Shalia.
"It doesn't matter!" Galenie was full of wisdom: "We can leave a few soldiers to wait here. When your companions return, we will explain the situation to them and lead them to Nereides to meet you." Neville was silent for a while, and then said: "We have a companion who has been cursed by some kind and cannot go out freely. We don't trust her to be left alone on this empty island, so..."
This refers to Ietta.
"No, uh, it doesn't matter!" Galenie took a little longer to think this time, but she quickly came up with a countermeasure and gritted her teeth and said: "I will apply to Her Majesty the Queen to let the priests of the Ice Curtain Mage Group come.
Apply underwater breathing and deep-sea adaptation techniques to the entire sky island. In this way, you don’t have to be separated from your companions and can directly control the sky island to go to Nereids! I want to use Her Majesty’s magnanimity to absolutely
I wouldn’t mind setting aside an area in the Ice Water Palace for you to place islands.”
The appearance of Sky Island is a cloud whale, and the cloud whale wants to return to the bottom of the sea. Is this a very reasonable thing?
Neville: "..."
She never expected that she, or Her Majesty the Queen behind her, would go so far in order to invite outsiders like herself. It seemed that that matter was indeed very important and worth all the costs she had to pay.
In this case, we have to consider giving face to Her Majesty the Queen. In any case, this sea area is the territory of the mirror elves, and it is not a wise choice to antagonize them. What's more, Ieta and Cloud Whale Sky Island are still there, even if these
If the mirror elves have any conspiracy, she can also delay time, and then let Iyeta control the cloud whale sky island to run away directly. With the power of [Great Wind], it is impossible for those mirror elves to catch up, so there is no need to worry about safety.
.
After considering all aspects thoroughly and confirming that nothing was omitted, under Galene's nervous and expectant gaze, Neville nodded slowly: "I understand."
