Rebirth: Wild Survival

Hong Jin carefully wiped the exquisite seashell-shaped container in his hand. The container was well maintained and there was not a trace of scratches on the whole body. After carefully checking the appearance, Hong Jin picked up the container and began to examine the inside like a disc. The Nei Tuo, which was polished as smooth as a mirror, fully reflected Hong Jin's face.The watermark advertisement test The watermark advertisement test is an extremely flat fish-like face, and the protruding eyeballs look very abrupt on this flat face, but Hongjin doesn't think so. With the reflection of the container, Hongjin He carefully picked the upturned beards on both sides of the mouth, and when the pair of beards were bent into the most perfect semicircle, Hong Jin grinned in satisfaction. As the most handsome internal affairs manager in the history of the mobile palace, he kept his appearance neat and tidy. Skill is indeed the most important thing, he thought very proudly.

Putting the vessel back on the shelf, Hong Jin straightened his expression and clapped his hands. The door of the front hall was opened, and a group of low-level servants entered. Their appearance was similar to Hong Jin, and they should belong to the same species. Orcs, but their status is obviously much lower than that of Hongjin. They bowed their heads and came in. They first saluted Hongjin humbly, and then stepped aside.

Seeing them, Hong Jin's expression became more serious, and he shook his beard. He looked at the group of low-ranking servants and said softly, "Let's get started."

Hearing this, the fish-faced servants started their work in silence. Dozens of exquisite bone china tableware were placed on the dining table in the main hall. The servants had a clear division of labor, and every step was methodical, obviously having practiced thousands of times.After the plate setting was over, the appetizers and aperitifs were brought up, and the smoked tiger grouper cold dish and sea vegetable salad were delivered to each set plate. Full.

After carefully inspecting the arrangement of each plate of appetizers, Hong Jinchong nodded to the close servants around him, and finally put the table for decoration in the center of the table carefully, completing this series of work, Hong Jin's overly serious expression finally eased for a moment.

"Good job, lads!" Hong Jin praised in a full-bodied tone like a head guard who had just inspected his subordinates' drill.

"Go and invite the adults to come here." Hong Jin ordered a servant closest to the gate in a warm voice.

Hearing the sound, the other servants carefully retreated behind the stone pillars in the front hall. There is a good line of sight, and they can pay attention to the needs of the adults at any time, and they will not cause the adults' displeasure because of the abrupt position.

Seeing that the servants used the things he taught on weekdays very well, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Hong Jin's face, and he stepped up to the gate, Hong Jin changed his previous arrogance and bent down humbly.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was slowly opened. Accompanied by low chatter and laughter, a group of beautiful creatures with humanoid fish tails entered the front hall. Hongjin greeted them attentively, and said in the most respectful tone: "My distinguished adults, please allow me to lead the way for you."

With that said, Hong Jin trotted to the front and led the group of beautiful creatures into their respective seats.

After the mermaids were seated, Hong Jin solemnly announced the start of the banquet.

All kinds of delicacies were brought to the table one after another, and each plate was a rare delicacy. The mermaids ate the food in front of them with the most impeccable dining etiquette, and whispered to their companions with extremely low voices. , Food and wine accompanied by low chatter and laughter, gradually, the atmosphere of this small banquet became lively.

Hong Jin carefully inspected the quality of each dish that was delivered, and from time to time, he glanced at the changes in the expressions of the mermaids as they ate them. After all, this was the time to check and accept the results of his work. Fortunately, no mermaids were present. They showed displeasure when eating, or in other words, they didn’t care about what was served at all. Since birth, every aspect of their basic necessities of life will be taken care of, and every meal will be cooked by a special person. Don't worry about the food, and you've eaten enough top-quality ingredients. The meal in the Seabed Palace is so ordinary that it's not enough to attract their attention!

Hongjin obviously realized this very quickly. Fortunately, he still kept his identity in mind, and the loss in his heart did not show on his face. Seeing that the mermaids had already started eating desserts, Hongjin finally stood at the front hall. In the middle, he cleared his throat and said in a solemn voice: "Masters, please allow me to be disrespectful."

The front hall was quiet, and the mermaids focused their attention on Hongjin. Seeing this, Hongjin immediately continued in a more modest voice: "Your lords must already know the purpose of this parade."

The mermaids present heard the sound, looked at their companions around, and laughed knowingly.

Suppressing the laughter of the mermaids, Hong Jin said in a more solemn tone: "My lords should be clear that tomorrow is the day when the annual selection meeting begins, and at that time, mermaids from all over the sea will gather The enkatai outside the palace will perform singing. At that time, adults, please choose carefully according to your own preferences. After all, this should be one of the most important moments in your life. A good partner will make your future life more comfortable and happy. , as the chief steward of the Sea Palace, I bring my king's blessings to all of you, and hope that all of you can choose a lifelong partner that you like tomorrow!"

"Long live my king!" I don't know who shouted this sentence first, all the mermaids present echoed loudly, and the atmosphere of the banquet was suddenly pushed to the top.

Hong Jin listened to the mermaids' compliments to the king with a proud expression, and when the mermaids finally used up all the best words, Hong Jin coughed lightly and continued: "In addition, participating in this There is also a noble adult who is selected for this selection. Although he has not arrived until today, as the first executor of this selection meeting, I still need to inform you of his identity first. He is... "

Before Hong Jin's voice could fall, the main hall door was suddenly opened, and a tall figure appeared outside the main hall. The mermaids turned their eyes to the main entrance one after another, and all of them showed surprise when they saw the visitor clearly.Among them, Hongjin's expression was the most excited. I saw that he didn't care about losing his composure, and almost scrambled over, exclaiming in surprise: "My most honorable highness, you are finally here!" !"

The bright light in the front hall made the appearance of the visitor unobstructed. Like the mermaid present, that person had gray eyes, bright silver hair, and a handsome face that was not inferior to anyone else, but even so, others could easily It is only because of the unique temperament of the comer that distinguishes him from his kindred.

As if the most chilling tide in the bottom of the North Sea was brought into the hall, the chilling aura of the visitors swept away the elegant banquet atmosphere in the house in an instant, and the latecomers seemed to be very surprised by the scene in the house, sweeping the entire hall Once again, he seemed to realize something, and his expression changed slightly.

Pursing his thin lips, the visitor seemed to be trying to suppress a certain emotion, he stopped looking at the stunned mermaids in the room, and set his eyes on Hong Jin who was rushing straight towards him.

Compared to Hong Jin who was about to cry with joy, the visitor's reaction was much colder. Looking at Hong Jin, he ordered in a low voice, "Come with me."

Hong Jin was taken aback by the chill in the other party's tone, she didn't dare to neglect, she hastily confessed her crimes to the other mermaids present, and led the visitors away quickly.

As Hong Jin and the visitors left one after the other, there were whispers in the originally quiet front hall.

"Who is that?" a young mermaid asked curiously.

"He is my king's third son, Your Highness Linhe," an older mermaid replied, "It's no wonder you don't know him. He has been guarding the abyss of the North Sea and hasn't returned to our clan for a long time. Inhabited place."

"I didn't expect him to come to this selection meeting. It seems that my king can't wait any longer, haha." After the older mermaid introduced the identity of the visitor, another mermaid couldn't help but speak, with a tone of voice Li laughed a little more.

"Is this His Royal Highness here to participate in the selection?" The young fish's expression was full of disbelief: "I remember that my king's youngest child, His Highness Ninth Prince Linxiang, has found a partner many years ago."

"Our Third Highness has a very unique taste. Since he became an adult, he has participated in more than ten selections. Unfortunately, no mermaid can attract his attention. After a hundred years, he has become a member of our family. The oldest bachelor." After saying that, the teasing mermaid couldn't help but giggled.

"You are so rude!" Interrupting the mermaid's laughter, an older mermaid reprimanded in a solemn voice: "Don't you know what is holding His Highness back? Over the years, If His Highness hadn't devoted himself to guarding the abyss of the North Sea and kept all those abyssal demons out of the barrier, do you think you can still sit here and enjoy yourself like this? !

The reprimanded mermaid closed her mouth resentfully.The topic at the dinner table quickly turned to other places, and the young mermaid began to inquire about the great achievements of the mysterious His Royal Highness Linhe... Following closely behind Zi Hongjin, Linhe didn't know that he had become the center of the topic , or even if he knew, he didn't care, came to the lounge specially prepared by Hongjin, Linhe took off the epee at his waist and the armor on his upper body and threw it aside casually.

After moving his body, which had been oppressed by the heavy armor for a long time, Linhe let out a long and comfortable sigh of relief.The shell lamp in the room exudes a faint blue luster, allowing him to see the curve of his beautifully acquainted back at a glance. Hong Jin almost immediately noticed the new scars on Linhe's body.

"Your Highness, you must cherish your body more." Hong Jin said with some heartache.

It's a pity that Linhe didn't buy into this excessive concern, and he said to Hongjin in a low voice while moving his body: "Tell me, where is the father?"

"This..." Hong Jin was taken aback by the question, and shifted her gaze to other places with a guilty conscience. After a long time, she murmured: "My king is currently on a tour elsewhere. As for where he is now, I don't know very well."

"Hmph, you, as the chief executive of your father, don't know his whereabouts," Linhe didn't believe a word of Hong Hongjin's words.

Lying sideways on the soft chair in the house, Linhe put his tail fins aside, and the mocking color on his face gradually became stronger: "He brought me back with twelve critical illness letters, at least he should lie on the bed and pretend to be sick There are still tens of thousands of Crab Clan warriors fighting bloody battles on the northern front, and their general was tricked out of the battlefield by such absurd lies, do you think war is a joke!"

Under Linhe's questioning, she lowered her head in shame, and Hong Jin said with a worried face: "But my Highness, it's time for you to care about your life's major events. You must know that His Highness Linxiang, the youngest Ninth Prince, is already here. I had a child of my own last year, and you have been alone for nearly a hundred years, tomorrow is the day of selection, I beg you to stay one more day, even if it is to see the group of mermaids before leaving."

Seeing the pleading in Hongjin's eyes, Linhe sighed helplessly: "Well, although I don't think this time is any different from any previous one. I said a long time ago that I don't need a Weak companions, I know that group of mermaids very well, they have not changed for thousands of years, they will always be so fragile."

"Maybe this time there will be a strong mermaid." Seeing Linhe's determined expression, Hong Jin said hastily.

Shaking his head, Linhe seemed to be silently saying that this is absolutely impossible, and looking at the chief manager with a sad face beside him, Linhe said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing you need to remember, I don't like being fooled by others, even if that It doesn’t matter if it’s my father! Tell my father, who is on tour, this is the first and last time, do you understand?”

Hong Jin was frightened by Lin He's tone, and nodded hastily.

Seeing Hongjin nodding in agreement, Linhe no longer made things difficult for him, and rubbed the center of his brows wearily, Linhe turned his eyes to look elsewhere, through the huge and transparent spar floor-to-ceiling windows in the house, Linhe's eyes fell on the huge On the enkatai outside the white palace, in the dark and suffocating deep seabed, the simple enkatai made of white fish bones exudes a dim white brilliance.
