"Why?"

As soon as the question came out, the eldest son of the Duke immediately realized that something was wrong and lowered his voice consciously, but the anger on his face did not diminish.

The queen looked at the other person quietly, and seemed to think that there was no hope, so she stopped talking and turned her gaze to Ling.

The latter just stared at the dark sea, immersed in his own world, and everything that happened on the ship seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.

The queen sighed, and the medical officer who had just hurried away with the pearls came back trotting, holding a small wooden wine barrel in his arms.

Everyone looked at them in wonder, unable to understand.

At this time, the Queen is still in the mood to drink?

The medical officer poured out a cup, hesitating whether to pass it to him. However, the queen took it directly from him without any psychological burden.

"This is the precious antidote given to us by the mermaid. He paid a lot of blood and tears for it. Humans have hurt him cruelly, but he is still willing to help us. I am really ashamed for those who have hurt and slandered the mermaids."

The queen raised her glass and said, "I, Insha Charlemagne, declare that from today on, mermaids will replace roses and become the new royal totem. Every mermaid will enjoy royal honors. Anyone who hunts and kills mermaids will be considered an enemy of the dynasty and will be executed for the crime of murdering the royal family. I salute the kindness of the mermaids!"

"You can't drink it! Your Majesty, we are not sure whether it is an antidote or poison..."

Before the doctor could stop her, the queen raised her head and drank it all. Facing everyone's worried and suspicious eyes, she slowly spoke.

"I believe him and I am grateful to him. If you doubt the mermaid, you can choose not to drink it."

The doctor hurriedly took the wine glass and immediately checked the queen's condition. After a moment, his face was filled with joy and shame. With the queen's permission, he poured out the second glass slowly, fearing that a drop of wine would be spilled.

"Thank you for the generosity of the mermaid!"

After saying that, the medical officer took a sip, smacked his lips, and seemed to find nothing special about the drink, so he simply drank it all in one gulp. In the end, he even licked up all the white powder hanging at the bottom of the cup.

As the wine entered his stomach, a feeling of comfort soon spread throughout his body. The rejuvenation of spirit and vitality made the old medical officer instantly feel like he had returned to his youth. The blood in his body began to boil, his cold hands and feet gradually warmed up, and he seemed to be full of strength, with endless energy waiting for him to vent.

"Ah! It really...really works. Magical! So magical. Thank you mermaid for the gift!"

Seeing the medical officer's pale face glowing with radiance, everyone present finally couldn't help but step forward to ask for it.

"I drink it. I also believe in mermaids. I am willing to try it."

"Please forgive my ignorance. I hope the mermaid can forgive my mistakes and give me the antidote."

"I knew that such a beautiful creature must have the kindest heart."

"Oh my god! What did I just say? That poor mermaid resisted the attack of the sea monster for us, not only gave us the antidote, but also used her own life to lure the tentacle monster under the ship away for us. I actually believed the rumors and slandered it."

Amidst the confessions and praises one after another, the barrel, which was already small to begin with, was soon emptied.

The eldest Duke's son regretted his actions immediately. He didn't care about the blood flowing from his nose. He rolled and crawled towards the doctor using his hands and feet, but was stopped by the guards beside the Queen.

"Give it to me! Give me the antidote. I was wrong, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Taking the last cup, the queen walked past the weeping man and went straight to Ling, who was staring at the sea like a stone sculpture at the side of the ship.

"You already knew that mermaid tears might be the antidote, right?"

Ling nodded, lowered his head heavily, and never raised it again.

"You don't have to feel guilty. You didn't do anything wrong. I have ordered the medical officer to keep it a secret. No one will know the use of the mermaid's tears. We were rescued and the mermaid is free. This is the best ending."

Ling looked at the wine glass that the queen handed to him, and his eyes became slightly hot. He tilted his head back and swallowed the wine mixed with the mermaid's tears bit by bit, the bitter taste flowing down his throat into his heart.

He knew that he had to say goodbye.

"Everyone, get ready, turn around and return! Our families are still waiting for us to return to Dynasty."

The steel behemoth broke through the wind and waves, creating layers of ripples on the sea surface, while strings of bubbles extended to the bottom of the sea beneath the surface.

Xiao Qianchuan felt like he was going to suffocate to death.

The moment he jumped into the sea, huge tentacles quickly surrounded him, supported his back, and gave him an intimate hug.

[Hidden mission progress 75%]

There was no need to exert any effort at all, as the tentacles wrapped around his hands and feet he dived underwater. Xiao Qianchuan was also happy and relaxed, allowing himself to sink, believing that he would soon fall into the arms of the evil god.

Then I complained that the task was too difficult, and coaxed the other party to perform some miracles, so that they could have a smooth journey and send the ship ashore quickly. Then I took the opportunity to act like a spoiled child and verbally promised the other party some benefits. As long as he took out the artifact, I would immediately hand in the task and end the game.

He took everything and left, taking revenge for last time.

But he underestimated the depth of the water.

It was not until the deep blue water around him turned pure black as he dived deeper and the pain in his chest became more and more intense that Xiao Qianchuan remembered the life-threatening setting this time.

[A low-class mermaid with congenitally deficient lung function. The deep sea will suffocate you.]

It’s really...too much of a dog!

Xiao Qianchuan cursed inwardly, patted the thick tentacle across his waist, and urged.

"Hurry up! Faster, I... cough cough... cough..."
