"I believe that on your way to Nereids City, you have seen the natural disaster detection devices set up by the Natural Disaster Envoy, right?" After getting to the point, Queen Amira first asked such a question.

The scene of a tower-shaped building continuously emitting high-energy magic power in the deep sea naturally appeared in Neville's mind. She nodded subconsciously and said: "I have indeed seen it, but does this have anything to do with the Natural Disaster Mission?"
?"
Isn’t it an internal matter of the Nielid royal family?
"It's a long story. Please listen to me explain the cause and effect in detail. Maybe you can understand my worries." The smile on Queen Amira's face seemed to be a little helpless. Seeing this, Neville,
He didn't ask further questions and waited silently for her to continue.
"Nominally, the Natural Disaster Mission claims that the role of the natural disaster detection device is only to provide early warning of impending natural disasters, but in fact, everyone knows that the operating principle of this device is based on capturing magical anomalies in the area.
, which means that it also has the effect of detecting changes in magic power. The detection effect of a single natural disaster detection device may not be obvious, but the Natural Disaster Envoy has never been stingy with quantity and will always put at least a thousand devices in the target area.
, weaving into a giant sealed net. And for areas like the Blue Sky Sea, which are adjacent to human cities and where the tentacles of civilization cannot extend, the devices they put in will multiply until any hidden trench or abyss is covered.
Until covered."
Queen Amira stretched out her slender and graceful fingers and drew a circle on the table, representing that this is the scope of the Blue Sky Sea, which also surrounds most of the territory ruled by Nereids City: "And for us mirror elves,
, the origin magic that resonates with the magic power of the sea and is cast, plays a vital role in daily life, production and construction, or combat hunting, and can even be considered the foundation for the mirror elves to survive - not to mention us
The most intuitive point about how to use origin magic to farm on the deep sea land or eliminate dangerous sea beasts in the area is that the two origin magics of underwater breathing and deep sea adaptation are used by every mirror elf since birth.
, and the magic that must be used. Without them, we would not even be able to find our own foothold in this sea."
Neville nodded slightly when she heard this, expressing her understanding. There is a saying that the mirror elves are not a natural deep-sea race. They were originally a heterogeneous ethnic group born in the archipelago area. Because they were born with the ability to use sea magic, they were able to hunt in the sea.
and collection, to avoid conflicts with other races. However, as the competition for land hegemony in the ancient times became more intense, the still weak mirror elves had to develop the two magics that Queen Amira just mentioned, and the entire clan
They escaped into the sea to survive, and over the long years gradually evolved into aliens adapted to the deep sea environment. As for how they later developed their own civilization in the deep sea, and then started to intervene in the struggle for land hegemony, that is the story that follows.
.
Of course, if you don’t understand this process of evolution, there was a human scholar named Darwin who used whales as an example when he proposed the theory of evolution. The history of the mirror elves is similar to that of the mirror elves. Although whales have fish in their names,
words, but there is no way to breathe on the bottom of the sea like a real fish. The same is true for mirror elves.
"This leads to a problem." Queen Amira said in a serious tone: "If the mirror elves want to survive in the deep sea, they must rely on origin magic; but large-scale and high-frequency use of origin magic will inevitably cause changes in the magic of the sea.
And it was captured by the detection network of the natural disaster detection device. As time goes by, I am afraid it will also attract the attention of the United Order. By then, Nereids City will usher in a disaster."
Her statement was a bit horrifying. The three little girls exclaimed in unison, obviously recalling some bad memories, such as the fire in Xugen Swamp. Could it be that such a gorgeous city like a work of art will also be destroyed?
Will we have the same ending?
But Neville remained calm and did not get moved by this. She picked up the tea cup on the table and was about to take a sip to moisten her throat. When her nose moved, she did not smell the familiar aroma of black tea, and then she realized that she was not on an empty island.
Above, he put down the tea cup without leaving a trace, and said: "This is indeed a very serious consequence, but at least it will not happen in a short time, Your Majesty? I have already observed it on the way here, and the United Order is in
The number of natural disaster detection devices deployed in this sea area does not seem to be very large, and they are far from what you said would block the mirror elves’ living space.”
"That's because in the past time, we have tried every means to destroy some of the devices and disguised them as natural losses caused by submarine earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, without arousing the suspicion of the Natural Disaster Mission." Queen Amira paused.
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, this alone is not enough. Therefore, after the news came out that the Natural Disaster Detection Bureau decided to put natural disaster detection devices in the surrounding waters, we used our own channels on land to inquire about
When it comes to specific situations."
It’s not surprising that the mirror elves have their own news channels on land. Don’t forget, the crystal corals in the deep sea have always been the best-selling luxury goods in the intercontinental sea area, and collecting this kind of coral is nothing but a task for the mirror elves.
It is easy to do things with hands, and it is even easier to bribe some bold humans with huge benefits. Of course, this relationship is definitely not strong enough. Even the human servants of the Valenhild family who have received blood contracts dare to resist their masters.
What about these greedy people who are full of wealth and interests?
The countess asked with interest: "What's going on?"
"There are two things." Queen Amira held out two fingers: "First, the Natural Disaster Detection Bureau discovered two mineral veins in a mountain range on the outskirts of Lottana City, which are suspected to produce some kind of precious strategic minerals.
The United Order attaches great importance to this and even invests heavily in the development of related industries in the city of Lottana, which originally had no industrial foundation; secondly, the head of the City of Lottana's Natural Disaster Detection Bureau, Greenwood
Sir, he is a blind, arrogant and extremely short-sighted guy. He was originally sent here because he made mistakes at the sect headquarters. He is only thinking about how to achieve meritorious service, promotion, and regain his previous status."
When she said this, Neville suddenly realized something and chuckled: "People like this are undoubtedly the best to take advantage of."
"That's right."
Queen Amira was not surprised that Neville's thoughts were surprisingly consistent with her own at the time. After all, good rulers would always think of going together. The Valenhild family could be active in Shiqi under the leadership of the silver-eyed countess.
For hundreds of years, the Leia Peninsula has plummeted after changing several leaders. This is not just because of the secret suppression by the alliance of religious groups.
She smiled and said: "After learning these two things, we quickly formulated a targeted strategy, which was to use our channels in the human world to spend huge sums of money to bribe Mr. Greenwood, and at the same time use propaganda to
, persuasion, bewitchment and inducement, etc., subtly guided his tendency, causing him to adjust the strategic deployment of the Natural Disaster Detection Bureau on his own, and raised the priority of the mineral vein excavation operation to the highest level, while other matters were ignored by him——
Including the matter of releasing natural disaster detection devices into the waters around the Blue Sky Sea, which was originally his job, but in the mind of Mr. Greenwood, who was only thinking about making meritorious deeds and gaining appreciation from church leaders, it seemed not that important anymore."
"The plan was implemented very smoothly. Mr. Greenwood devoted all the manpower and material resources of the Natural Disaster Detection Bureau to his great cause of fighting for power. As a result, the number and density of natural disaster detection devices in the Blue Sky Sea area increased that year.
It showed a cliff-like decline, and we, the mirror elves of Blue Sea Mirror, finally struggled to gain a small living space in this giant net that should have been tightly closed."
