Emptying the sea water while allowing all living things to breathe freely is one point, strengthening the strength and physique of the inhabitants of the city is another, and making it impossible for most evil creatures to get close.

Of course, the most important thing is the Morning Star, which can completely simulate daylight, which is the key point for Atlas to have a complete ecological cycle, and it is said to be the core of the operation of the entire Mystery Lock.

There is one last pass to actually enter Atlas from the passage to check, which is usually the question of two merfolk asking you why you came to Mermaid Island and where you are from.

In fact, there is a lock, ordinary evil creatures can't break through at all, and as for those that are not ordinary, ordinary people obviously can't distinguish them.

So under normal circumstances, these inspections are just a formality, but now that it is the wedding of the mermaid princess, this search is much stricter.

Several players and NPCs in front of the queue were escorted away by several high-level guards before they could resist after being found to have a problem.

This change caused great panic among the crowd at the back of the line.

After all, to be honest, those who are in such a hurry to come to Mermaid Island now obviously don't have any good intentions, and it is reasonable to be afraid.

However, Sherlock, as a druid half-elf who believed in Merrikai and Sandakor, and the hidden identity of a harpist, naturally had no worries about this, and successfully passed the inspection without much criticism.

To his surprise, Samagar, who had entered the pass with him, had completed the inspection one step ahead of him.

The origin of this pirate is mysterious, and he is a guy from the chaotic neutral camp, how did he get mixed up?

Either way, the two of them made it to Atlas without any problems.

Although Atlas is the imperial city of the merfolk, it is not really a large city like Susar, the capital of Cormier, but more like the Misdrano that once sits in the Comanso Forest.

From the forests, fields, mountains and rivers on the periphery, to the villages, small towns and factories in the middle, and then to the core of the main city, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small kingdom.

These large and small buildings are progressively layered in a compass-like shape, and the ravines in the middle are connected by seawater, forming what outsiders call 'underwater gardens'.

Coming out of the passage, Sherlock and the others are supposed to be in the watermill town on the northern edge of the city.

Most of the town's inhabitants are sea elves, merfolk, water elves, and Solo fishmen, and a small number of adventurers from the surface, most of whom are players.

With hundreds of millions of bases here, it's hard to ignore the presence of players in a game as big as the Forgotten Realms, except for some forbidden areas.

Watermill Town isn't a bustling place, and there aren't many high-level monster districts nearby, so most of the players active here are newcomers.

After casually inquiring about the customs of Atlas, the two of them rushed to the center of the city in a soft fish cart.

The Fish Cart is probably a unique means of transportation in underwater cities, and although this sea beast that lives in the deep sea is huge, it is a rare and gentle creature that is easy to domesticate.

With its unique air cavity and specialized membranes, the fish is able to move quickly through this underwater city.

"Hey, elven friend, are you also here for our princess's wedding?" On the fish cart, a mermaid looked at Sherlock and asked.

There were a total of 18 passengers on the car, all but 5 of whom were native residents, and Sherlock, as the only elf (in the eyes of non-elven races, half-elves also belonged to the elf family), it was natural to gain the favor of these five natives without communication.

This is not entirely due to the charm, but the entire Atlas City has a faint hostility and xenophobia towards races other than aquatic creatures and elves.

"Of course, Princess Reilia is the entire sea of falling stars, oh no, the pearl of the entire Faerun, even if it is thousands of miles away, I will come to witness her happiness."

For merfolk to praise them is far less than to praise their princess, Sherlock's hypocritical rhetoric immediately won the favor of these five NPCs.

So in the next six hours, the other party enthusiastically gave him a detailed description of the scene in the middle of the city, and even one of the young mermaids volunteered to be a tour guide to accompany him on the rest of the journey.

However, first, they had other purposes, and secondly, the other party was a male fishman, and Sherlock could only politely refuse the other party's request.

The place where everyone got off the bus was Coral Hill, which should be the most prosperous town in Atlas, and the center of the city that outsiders could come to.

Further down are Mermaid Bay, Fish Foley Hills, and Mermaid Imperial City, all of which are accessible only to locals.

Unlike Watermill Town at the beginning, the players on Coral Hill are not only large in number, but also quite powerful.

In addition to the bustling business and abundant services, another reason that attracts them is the nearby Umi no Mori.

The Sea Forest is a huge forest that occupies nearly one-fifth of Atlas, and is the only place in the entire city where evil creatures can live.

From the outermost sea monkeys of more than twenty levels to the seventy or eighty levels of forbidden women in the center, monsters of all levels exist, and they are the most ideal holy places for upgrading.

Since many shipwrecks in the sea are transported here along the flow of the tide, the Sea Forest is also known as the "Graveyard of Ships".

It's also quite fun for players to search for shipwrecks in the forest, and they may be able to find some lost treasure or something.

After arriving at Coral Hill, the two separated, with Samagar going alone to find out the information, and Sherlock shamelessly going to see Mirro.

The agreed location is the famous mermaid café in the town.

The café is designed to be luxurious and dreamy, and the owner and employees are mermaids.

From these two points alone, you can tell that the cost of this café is not much lower, after all, nowhere else will you see a mermaid dressed in a maid outfit gently asking you what you want to drink.

In the words of many male gamers, doesn't it seem like a little more to pay for it?

The date was set in such a place, and Sherlock was ready to bleed, but when he walked into the café, he saw the three Ocean Sisters in the Trident Tavern sitting next to Mirlou, and he couldn't help but have the idea of turning away.

Five people in this store, spending tens of thousands, and in the end, it must be you, the only male, who pays.

If the eleventh is here, he will definitely have to complain about why his master can't find a girlfriend for so long.

Forget it if you didn't have money before, now you are a person with a net worth of millions, and you don't hesitate to buy any piece of equipment for tens of thousands, and you can have such concerns about inviting a few women to dinner.

Mermaid Island wants to try to write a big scene, but it feels a little difficult, and I hope it doesn't collapse or the water doesn't fall
