"North, go down and say hello to your people." After Cheng Shi finished speaking, he asked the information bridge to open the hatch of the Kate Eagle spacecraft.

The little mermaid was still very excited to see the sea water of her hometown, and completed the transformation of the mermaid form in the moment of jumping.

"What are you doing here? How did you become like this? North yelled at the shrimp soldier crab from afar.

The two shrimp soldiers and crab generals had just been so focused on the Kate Eagle that they didn't notice the little mermaid swimming in front of them. It was only after hearing North's voice that they came to their senses.

"Huh? Queen...... No, it's the princess back? That's right, it's the princess who is back. The shrimp soldier said in surprise when he saw the little mermaid swimming towards them, and after identifying it.

"I'm watching here, you go back and report to the Queen, and say that the princess is back." The shrimp soldier then said to the crab general next to him.

"The princess is not an outsider, why do you need to watch, why can't we go back together?" The crab will ask rhetorically.

"I mean, I looked at this big guy in front of us, who said I was going to look at the princess?" The shrimp soldier shook his head speechlessly and explained.

At this moment, North had already come to the two of them: "You two are not in their original forms, what are you doing here?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, we are on the orders of the Queen, and we come here every day to patrol, one is to train the troops, and the other is to prepare for the spaceship that will send the princess back." The shrimp soldier said fifteen-ten.

North pointed to the Kate Eagle, and then said, "That's the ship that sent me back, why aren't you two in their original form?" It can't be that you haven't fully mastered the skills of transformation, right? ”

"Who says we don't have it? Don't you think it's domineering for us to become like this? We're junior soldiers. The crab general said very unconvinced, and then said baldly, "It's just that the water pressure on the sea is too low, and we can't go back here." ”

Cheng Shi and the others were about to laugh when they saw everything that happened in front of them in the spaceship. Even the owl girl, who has always been afraid of water, wants to go down and tease the two young mermaids who have just learned to transform their whole bodies, because they are so cute.

North chatted with the two shrimp soldiers and crab generals for a while, and then plunged into the water with them. Subsequently, the Kate Eagle spaceship also sank at a high speed and headed for the mermaid kingdom underwater.

The mermaid kingdom has never had the kind of red tape of the ancient feudal dynasties on the earth, and in this wonderful country, any mermaid can enter the palace without hindrance. Of course, most of the time, you won't be able to see the mermaid queen without making an appointment in advance.

However, the gate of the mermaid palace is open to all mermaids, and every mermaid can enter at will. In fact, the Mermaid Palace has no doors at all.

In peacetime, the mermaid queen is just the patriarch of the mermaids, mainly responsible for mediating some trivial conflicts within the race. But in times of emergency, the Mermaid Queen is the well-deserved leader of the race.

On the way back to meet the saint with the shrimp soldier crab, North spread the news that the Kate Eagle spaceship was about to visit the mermaid kingdom. Therefore, the spacecraft did not encounter any obstacles during the dive.

In fact, many adult mermaids still remember the Kate Eagle spacecraft. Naturally, they also knew that the people in the spaceship were friendly people of different races who had saved their mermaid race. So, even if North doesn't say it, they won't stop it.

But it's hard to say about those young recruits who have just enlisted in the army who are similar to shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Cheng Shi was not worried that they would cause even the slightest damage to the Kate Eagle, but he was very worried that the spacecraft would accidentally injure them when diving.

When the Kate Eagle arrives above the Mermaid Kingdom complex. Cheng Shi saw that compared to a few months ago, the building complex of the Mermaid Kingdom had not expanded much. But the scale of the growth of plants on the seabed is completely invisible, and this is a world that has just recovered from the ecological reset of the planet.

The magical enchantment that enveloped the entire kingdom was gone. The eco-accelerators placed in various parts of the planet were all recovered by Evans two months ago. The current mermaid kingdom is still far from being compared with the past in terms of the number of races. But in other respects, at least on the surface, it seems to have largely returned to what it used to be.

The moment North saw the Mermaid Queen, he was grounded in the Water Balloon Barrier. This also fully proves that the few months she has followed Cheng Shi in all corners of the universe are really nothing to mermaids. The mermaid queen did not show any action of missing her daughter, and the little mermaid can only silently think about her earth human brother in her heart now, and she can come to save her sooner.

Similarly, when the mermaid queen saw Cheng Shi again, she didn't feel that she hadn't seen her for a long time. She just easily introduced the current state of the Mermaid Kingdom to Cheng Shi.

Although Cheng Shi had already seen it before he came down, after listening to the introduction of the mermaid queen, he knew that the ecological restoration of the mermaid kingdom was not equal to the ecological restoration of the entire planet, and the mermaid planet still had a long way to go if it wanted to restore itself to its previous state as a whole.

"Your Highness, do you feel that something is missing on your planet?" Cheng Shi was in a meeting room in the mermaid palace, looked at the mermaid queen and asked with a smile.

The mermaid queen was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head: "I don't think there is anything missing, isn't everything very good now, if I have to say what is missing, it is the lack of mermaids, our current population is too small, and the labor force is insufficient." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Barbara, and then said, "I heard that you earth humans have a very short growth cycle, and they reach adulthood in their teens. The two of you have nothing to do and get married quickly, and after marriage, give birth to a cub and put it here, and the second aunt will help you raise it, and you will be able to work when you grow up. As you have all seen, there is no shortage of food and drink in our mermaid kingdom now. ”

In the process of the mermaid queen saying this paragraph, Cheng Shi wanted to interrupt her several times, but she still couldn't stop her from expressing all her meaning.

"Your Royal Highness, I know that you are short of people right now, but I am not here to discuss this with you." Cheng Shi said with some embarrassment, "In the past, in the ocean of your planet, was there a very tall mountain? It must have been a long time ago, you think about it. ”

Although Cheng Shi knew that the Mermaid Queen had no memories of the Earth, the memories on the Mermaid Planet were not affected, but he didn't know if she could still remember those ancient memories.

"Very tall mountain?" The Mermaid Queen frowned and recalled earnestly, "Once upon a time? You're not talking about the Holy Mountain of Teresa, are you? ”

Cheng Shi was taken aback, thinking about what the Mermaid Queen finally remembered, so he asked, "Is the Delan Holy Mountain you mentioned at least hundreds of thousands of meters high?" ”

The Mermaid Queen nodded: "That's right, it's quite high, and it's almost reaching the surface of the sea." I remember that we carved a lot of patterns on the mountain at that time. What does this do, you ask? ”

"How did that mountain disappear? Can you tell me more about this? Cheng Shi asked with interest.

The Mermaid Queen let out a long sigh and then said, "That's a long story. Even though we call it a holy mountain, it doesn't mean anything to us. This is not entirely true, it should be said that there is a certain direction guiding effect, some young mermaid cubs, if they run far away and can't find their way home, usually go down the mountain, and generally meet acquaintances.

"That was a long, long time ago, when we didn't know what a spaceship was, let alone understand that two civilizations on different planets could go to war. Later, a foreign spaceship landed on the surface of our planet, and a man came out of it, and he told us a lot, and it was from him that we learned about the darkness of the universe.

"The merfolk were originally a very optimistic race, and if we didn't know the truth about the universe, we could have been living carefree in the oceans of our planet, and that's what we thought at the time. But when we merfolk know that there are many planets like us outside of our planet, and there are many races similar to us, as long as we are discovered by them, it will be you who are alive or dead.

"At first we didn't want to accept the truth, but he showed us a lot of images of the war, and those images were so real that we couldn't believe it. So the whole mermaid world soon fell into a panic. It was from that time that our mermaid society began to split. Countless small mermaid races were also divided from that time.

"With that man's help, many merfolk left the ocean where our ancestors lived for the first time and went into space, and they saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is. Of course, it was also the first time I saw the dark universe. In order to defend our homeland, many merfolk are eager for the merfolk race to have the ability to build spaceships and interstellar astronautics, because they think that only in this way can the merfolk protect themselves.

"That guy has a spaceship, and he knows how to build a spaceship. He told us that if you want to build a spaceship independently, you must first have a basic industry that makes spaceships. However, at that time, on our mermaid planet, there was no basic industry for making spaceships.

"At that time, it was too late for us to develop basic industries step by step. Later, he told us that the sacred mountain of Teran, which towers over the bottom of our sea, is a rarity in the eyes of many advanced civilizations in the universe. If you find the right buyer, you should be able to exchange it for a complete assembly line for the production of high-grade ships.

"Although the Holy Mountain of Teland has no practical meaning to us merfolk, it has existed on our mermaid planet for so long after all, and it is also the mascot of our merfolk race. Therefore, many mermaids are reluctant to sell it. For this reason, there have been skirmishes within the merfolk race. However, the pressure of the race's survival led us to finally reach a decision to sell the Holy Mountain. ”
