The top fish lure that can also be used by novices

Three days later—

Venue Atlantis Exchange Area Freshwater Mermaid and Saltwater Mermaid Cultural Exchange Association Office

With thick dark circles under her eyes, Tang Xiaomi sat down on a chair made of coral with her tail curled up, looking nervously at the saltwater mermaid in front of her.

Like all saltwater merfolk, he is large and has brightly colored scales, the only thing noticeable is that he is very old and has wrinkled skin covered in intricate tattoos and glitter. There are both priceless natural gems and pearls, as well as fake gems polished by man-made products such as beer bottle glass. Obviously, the other party doesn't care about the coin value of those decorations at all, but simply She really likes to dress herself up brightly.

Judging from this behavior, he is a very, very traditional saltwater mermaid.

In the society of saltwater mermaids, "sparkling" is the most beautiful - because only members with high status and no worries about food and clothing can dress themselves up so conspicuously in the dangerous deep sea without worrying about being eaten by predators ...

"Don, Xiaomi?"

The old man raised his cloudy eyes and gave Tang Xiaomi a reproachful look, which instantly woke him up.

"Uh, I, I'm here."

Tang Xiaomi was clever, and quickly cheered up and replied.

He was so nervous that his scales almost exploded—it was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but think wildly to relieve his mental pressure.

The old man looked away from Tang Xiaomi's face expressionlessly, and put it back on the seaweed paper in his hand.

He held a slate pen in his hand, and his voice was smooth and unwavering, without much emotion.

"...Then please repeat the situation at that time again. Please answer this question objectively and honestly. I emphasize again that every word you say will become the factual basis for the final judgment."

The old man said coldly.

Xiaomi flinched, blinked his eyes, and dryly repeated the words he had been repeating for the past few days.

"...At that time, Al and I..."

"The noble, brave and handsome Daxi Lian, Crown Prince Alfred," the old man interrupted Xiaomi, and solemnly repeated the complicated, flamboyant and super shameless formal address, "You were allowed to call him by His Royal Highness's permission before." However, according to the Supplementary Agreement on Diplomatic Protocol signed between saltwater mermaids and freshwater mermaids in 146, as a freshwater mermaid, you still need to address him as 'His Royal Highness Alfred'."

……

Hearing the continuous chatter of this old-fashioned conservative mermaid, Xiaomi's shoulders slumped wearily.

"I'm sorry I forgot... that..." Tang Xiaomi struggled to recall exactly what he said before, "I was with Alfred... sorry... I was with that noble His Royal Highness Alfred... ...encountered a pod of orcas, and that pod of orcas wasn't quite normal..."

Tang Xiaomi stuttered painfully in the common language, but this time Tang Xiaomi still couldn't finish what he wanted to say.

"According to your previous statement, you left the Atlantis exchange area without permission, right?"

The old pedant interrupted Xiaomi and asked.

In an instant, Xiaomi's face became even paler, he bit his lip and nodded.

"Uh, that, yes, but I didn't think much of it at the time, I just..."

"You just have to answer 'yes' or 'no'."

The old man's slate pen kept writing something on the paper, and from Xiaomi's perspective, it was completely impossible to see what he was writing. The strong anxiety made the fragile freshwater mermaid feel a stomachache.

He wanted to go back and hack to death the self who wanted to run away from home when his head got hot three days ago...

He grew up in the freshwater area, but he didn't realize at all that in the saltwater area, every member of the freshwater mermaid is strictly controlled.

Every mermaid must have an official pass before leaving and entering Atlantis, otherwise it is a serious violation of discipline.

Of course, it would be fine if Tang Xiaomi simply left the exchange area without a permit. The problem is, he also got into much more serious trouble than "acting without permission".

"Then, it was because of your violation of discipline that you met the noble, brave and handsome Great Western Blade, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alfred, right?"

"Well, actually, I didn't understand why I met him at all..."

"You just need to answer 'yes' or 'no', let me repeat the question again, it is precisely because you left the legal area of ​​freshwater mermaids in violation of discipline, you met the noble, brave and handsome Great Western Blade, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alfred , after that, you encountered an extremely dangerous colony of deranged orcas, right?"

"..."

The old man's eyes were very serious, but Tang Xiaomi bit her lips when she heard his inductive question, which sounded fine at first but felt strange.

No matter how stupid Tang Xiaomi is, he knows that this time he is really in trouble... ╥﹏╥

Whether it was Evelyn who was extremely worried, or the investigator in front of him with a terrifying face... and of course the chaos of the past few days, Tang Xiaomi was extremely aware of the contrast between the world of salt water and the world of fresh water. different.

It's like before he did know that the big stupid sadist had a noble status, but he couldn't really realize the difference in status between that guy and himself.

However, when something really happened, Tang Xiaomi realized that his thinking was too simple.

Because of Alfred's encounter with the killer whale group, Tang Xiaomi was almost driven crazy by the investigators from the Atlantis.According to Evelyn and Roy's worst judgment of the situation, Tang Xiaomi is likely to be sent back to the freshwater area for putting the royal family at risk, and will not be allowed to enter the saltwater area for life.

Of course, the result of this judgment is actually quite light, after all, the "royal family involved in danger" has always insisted that Tang Xiaomi did not take any action to threaten him——

This, he, mother, of course, is also nonsense!

You know, when the group of belated royal guards and Atlantis staff hurried to the scene at that time, in the blood-stained sea water they saw only one fainted from blood In the past, there was a freshwater mermaid (Tang Xiaomi) who was floating on the sea, and a Titan mermaid prince who was at a loss and was groping the freshwater mermaid in an attempt to wake him up.

No matter in terms of size or scene, the one being raped will only be Tang Xiaomi himself, okay? ! ! ! ! ! ! ╰(‵ ′)╯

Tang Xiaomi can't be regarded as a mermaid who can hold his breath. At least, his dissatisfaction was conveyed to the investigator in a very complete manner in silence - of course, it is impossible to send this annoying freshwater mermaid to fish torture. It was enough to make the investigating officer very jumpy.

His voice raised a lot, and his tone became harsher.

"Tang Xiaomi, member of Freshwater Mermaid, please answer my question, otherwise I will deal with you—"

And at this moment, the door was suddenly opened.

The investigator's face changed, and he almost turned the table over, but after seeing the person coming, he had no choice but to deflate his face back with anger.

Tang Xiaomi turned around in surprise, but what she saw was another huge saltwater mermaid...

Moreover, like the one Tang Xiaomi hates the most, he has dark skin and bony scales, and of course, he is larger than normal saltwater mermaids.

Here's another Titan Mermaid!

Xiaomi trembled and frowned instinctively.

However, the titan mermaid showed a friendly smile to Xiaomi.

Then he turned his head and said softly to the investigator, "Sorry for interrupting your investigation, Investigator Powell... I have to take Tang Xiaomi away at this time, he needs to go to the sea immediately to perform the inspection of the No. 12 newborn killer whale. The voluntary labor of guardianship and feeding...it’s time for him to breastfeed.”
