Chapter 420 Meeting the Mermaid King!

There is most likely a blood feud between the mermaids and the Hatteras royal family.

Therefore, when the player reveals that his identity is related to the royal family of Hatteras, the mermaid guards who are responsible for guarding the entrance to the underwater world will naturally engage in battle.

Calling yourself an adventurer can gain the favor of neutral mermaids to the greatest extent.

As for the Chinese characters written by Pan Xiaoxiao, can the mermaid understand them?

Under the power of rules, this is not a problem at all.

Sure enough, when the mermaid guards saw the words on the beach clearly, the crossed tridents immediately separated and they slowly retreated to the sides of the road.

The dolphin-like sound came again, but it was no longer as sharp as before:

"The underwater world welcomes you, adventurers! The Temple of Poseidon is open to you."

"Before the expedition begins, please go meet our king."

"Is it okay not to meet?" Alyssa shook her cat ears and typed in the chat group.

I don't know what terrible memory the mermaid's words brought back to her mind.

The cat-eared girl suddenly began to feel inexplicably frightened.

Pan Xiaoxiao glanced at the data panel, shook her head helplessly, and used a flashlight to write a response on the sand on the seabed:

"Ok."

Then, he explained in the data panel:

"This is the tradition of the mermaids. Before exploring the underwater world, strangers need to go to the Temple of Poseidon and meet their king."

"It's like paying respects to the boss. We just need to comply. It won't have any adverse impact on subsequent actions."

"We can even get some clues about Emily from the Mermaid King."

Alyssa nodded timidly, her body unconsciously moving closer to Li Luo.

The latter sensed something and while holding Alyssa's arm tightly, he looked at Lu Li with confusion.

"I guess Alyssa thought of the slave owners who ruled the Palu people?" Lu Li guessed in his mind, but didn't say anything.

I just copied my title and sent it privately to Alyssa.

At the same time, he gave the other person a reassuring look.

The latter checked the data panel, and the cat ears that had been drooping suddenly stood up, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Lu Li raised a finger, moved it to his lips, and made a gesture of silence.

Led by two mermaids, the four adventurers quickly entered the coral forest.

After walking for a while where the direction was unclear, a magnificent temple came into everyone's sight.

Unlike the coral forest, the entire temple is wrapped in a huge bubble.

The seawater was blocked outside, and once I stepped into the range, I could clearly feel the pressure around me ease.

Although the air was still thick, the four of them were able to communicate normally through speaking.

Pan Xiaoxiao reminded everyone:

"According to the experience of the previous walkthrough, as long as we meet the Mermaid King in the Sea God's Palace, we can get a quest called 'Find the Little Mermaid Princess' and clues related to the quest."

"Of course, we can also choose not to accept the mission, declare ourselves adventurers, and then start exploring the underwater world freely."

"Does the witch have any influence?" Lu Li asked knowingly.

"Yes." Pan Xiaoxiao adjusted his glasses and said seriously:

"If we don't accept the mission of 'Searching for the Little Mermaid Princess', we won't be able to obtain the 'Investigation Token Granted by the Mermaid King'."

"We can only find the residence of the Deep Sea Witch, but we can't enter it and negotiate with her for a deal."

"It seems that if I want to get as many clues as possible, I must take on the mission of the Mermaid King." Lu Li rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Yes." Pan Xiaoxiao nodded slightly:

"But just like the Hatteras royal family on land, if you fail to complete the task within the time limit, you will be hunted down by the mermaids."

"Besides, due to the special nature of the mermaids, once the other party determines that they cannot complete the mission, they may start hunting them down in advance."

“Basically, it’s impossible to escape.”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, knowing what Pan Xiaoxiao meant by "specialness".

According to rule 1:

[The mermaid's face is too beautiful, and the gods are jealous of her. Humans who have seen the mermaid's face will fall into a deep sleep and will not wake up until the sun rises the next day.]

Once the mermaids determine that they cannot complete the mission, they can easily control these players by simply taking off the golden mask on their faces.

But after closing your eyes, you will never be able to wait for the moment when the sun rises.

So even if you have a [Secret Realm Escape Ticket], you can escape from the secret realm.

It cannot be used in front of a mermaid.

"I understand, but we have no choice, right?" Lu Li sighed, as if he was ready to take a big risk.

However, only he and a group of soul guards who knew everything clearly knew that everything was just going according to plan.

"That's right, so when I get back, I will try my best to help Mr. Lu Li get some more compensation."

"If you can successfully pass the level in the end, I will also let General Ao Zhan make up for the losses as much as possible."

Lu Li smacked his lips in surprise:

"Including the perfect quality items that may not be retrieved?"

"Yes, including those perfect quality props." Pan Xiaoxiao nodded very seriously:

"If General Ao Zhan does not approve, I will personally pay it back..."

"But it may take a little longer..."

Lu Li's eyes looked quite strange.

He remembered that these 'civil servants' in his previous life didn't seem to be so generous.

The Chinese government is also very tight-fisted in allocating resources, giving people a feeling of being extremely stingy.

How come after being reborn, I became more generous?

Is it because of a change in one's own strength and status?

Pan Xiaoxiao had no idea what Lu Li was thinking.

Seeing that the other party did not reply, she thought that he was not satisfied with her proposal, so she added:

"Your strength and status are extraordinary. Even if General Ao Zhan doesn't agree, the higher-ups will agree to compensate you."

"Also, the reward for assisting in clearing the customs this time will be calculated separately."

"Oh, okay." Lu Li came back to his senses and nodded blankly.

This benefit is really not bad.

He was so tempted that he wanted to go ashore and become a "civil servant".

"Mr. Lu Li, let's hurry up and go in."

"okay."

Lu Li responded again.

The four of them walked into the Temple of Poseidon.

Under the guidance of the mermaid guard, they soon met the legendary mermaid king.

The golden mask on his face was larger than the surrounding fishmen. He was burly, with a shark tail in the lower body. Triton glanced at the four people and said:

"Welcome, adventurer from the land."

"The King has been exhausted lately, so I will not personally take you to visit the underwater world."

"Everyone, please help yourself."

Just three sentences,

Although the voice was majestic, it was full of fatigue.

Pan Xiaoxiao knew the reason, took a half step forward, and said respectfully:

"Respected King of Mermaids, our purpose of coming here is not just for sightseeing and exploration."

"I'd rather help you out for the sake of our friendship with the mermaids."

"If there's anything we can do to help, please let me know."
