Seeing the direction of the compass in his hand, Karl immediately called on the other three to follow him, then swam out of the coral reef and headed to the location of the Iida sisters.
Following the direction of the pointer, it didn't take them long to pass through the entire mermaid home and arrive at the boundary of the city.
They didn't notice anything strange along the way. At this moment, the compass still indicated the position in the distance without moving, and there was no change at all as they moved forward.
Because the lighting range of the giant seaweed was quite good, they could still see a lot of things outside the city at this time. However, they still could not find any traces of mermaids or other creatures as far as they could see, and it seemed that they were affected by some environmental factors.
Due to the impact, not even an ordinary marine life can be seen here.
So Karl looked back at Iida and said:
"Iida, although I don't know where your sisters are, the situation ahead is not clear. We'd better..."
"Mr. Karl." Before Karl could express his thoughts, Iida interrupted the sentence directly, as if she didn't want to hear that judgment from Karl.
Then the mermaid princess continued:
"Next I will go find this demon that destroyed my homeland and slaughtered my kind, and then avenge my people."
"Next...I may be separated from you next."
As she spoke, Iida slowly swam over from the water and stretched out her hands to protect Karl.
The mermaid princess slowly opened her pink lips and said softly in the sea water:
"Goodbye, my captain."
After saying that, she decisively let go of Karl's body, and immediately planned to leave the three people here and move forward alone.
Facing Iida who had decided to leave, Karl didn't know what to say and could only watch her leave.
As a result, before Iida could get far, Naiya, who had been silently observing the two of them, made a move. The evil god suddenly rushed forward in the sea and hugged the mermaid princess who was about to leave.
She was caught off guard and hugged by Naiya. Even though Iida was different from before, the mermaid's sensitive perception still made her aware of Naiya's danger, causing her to freeze in place, motionless.
"Sir... sir?"
With a trace of doubt, the mermaid princess asked without looking back, hoping to know the reason for Naia's actions at this time.
"Little guy, don't leave in a hurry."
After releasing her arms around each other, Naia came to the front of the mermaid princess. Looking at Iida, whose face was a little stiff but no longer as afraid of herself as before, she said slowly:
"Why do you need to leave us if you want revenge?"
"You must know that the guy who did this is also targeting those seven swords. As long as the other party doesn't stop moving, he will collide with us sooner or later. Why do you have to go out for revenge alone with an uncertain future?"
"Why not follow us? This way, the Black Pearl will have a mermaid as a guide when sailing on the sea, and at the same time, your revenge will be more certain. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
When Naiya spoke like this, Karl, who had been stuck in a misunderstanding, immediately reacted.
Seeing Iida who was a little hesitant, he immediately swam over to persuade her:
"Naya is right. I also think Iida that you can go forward with us. Whether it is me or everyone on the "Black Pearl", no one welcomes you to join our ranks."
When he said this, Carl couldn't help but think of Snow White on the boat. At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed and felt like he was abducting people.
Facing the two people's persuasion, Iida turned around and looked at Karl.
At this time, she held her hands on her chest, her expression a little excited, and at the same time mixed with gratitude and some inexplicable things.
"I……"
"You are not human, why are you so pretentious now?"
Before Iida could express her feelings, Naiya pushed her directly.
The mermaid princess was pushed to Karl's chest without any resistance, and then she lowered her head in embarrassment in front of Mr. Captain.
Looking at the appearance of the girl in front of him, Karl knew what to do at this moment.
So he decisively grabbed Iida's right hand and took her back to the mermaid's home without rejection.
"We just did a rough inspection before, and we still have plenty of time. Let's continue the work we just did."
"Yes." Iida nodded and replied softly, and then was taken back by Karl.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, in addition to the people who stayed behind on the ship, other members of the "Black Pearl" also took herbs that allowed them to move freely in the ocean, and arrived here under the leadership of Yog.
After careful inspection by the crew of the "Black Pearl", many details that Karl and the others had not noticed before were also confirmed.
For example, in addition to the guy who killed the mermaid with other swords, there are other fatal injuries on the bodies of the other mermaids in the coral reef. This shows that the other party is probably not acting alone. Of course, it does not rule out that he is a weapons master and can use multiple weapons.
Weapons to fight this situation.
In addition, Karl also used the characteristics of the compass to find a treasure house left by Iida's mother before her death, and took away various treasures collected by the mermaid clan over the years.
By the time they completed the inspection thoroughly and returned to the Black Pearl, it was already dark.
After learning about the situation Iida was facing, the crew members she had met before also expressed their comfort to her, which really moved the mermaid princess for a while.
After the people on the deck completely dispersed, Carl and several other core members gathered in the captain's cabin again.
Recalling his previous experiences, Karl discovered a very important piece of news.
When searching for the Iida sisters at the bottom of the sea, the direction pointed by the compass was not the location of the person who took away the sword. This means that it is very likely that the Iida sisters are not dead and are still alive somewhere in this sea area.
place.
Thinking of this, Karl immediately realized the importance of this piece of information, and immediately told this piece of information to several other people.
"is that so!"
Knowing that her sisters had a high chance of survival, Iida immediately rushed to Karl and asked excitedly:
"Please tell me where they are?"
"I must find them!"
The mermaid princess's face was full of concern for her loved ones, and she was eager to know the whereabouts of these people.
So Karl took out his compass, checked it and told Ida the location of her sisters.
Seeing the direction Karl pointed, Iida seemed to remember something, and then murmured with some doubts:
