Chapter 101 from Newsbird: Intelligence from the Mermaid Cafe

Hopodi finished talking about the menu.

The mermaid girls were stunned for a second, completely speechless at the last cup of salt added to this man, and wanted to prompt it, but were stopped by the woman wearing a green happ vest next to the man: "Just follow our captain's menu!"

The three of them sat down, and there weren't many people who came to the Mermaid Cafe early in the morning, but most of them were Fish-Man Island uncles who were eating breakfast with newspapers.

"Did you hear that? The New Fish-Man Pirates were killed last night, and Tom, the fisherman who was fishing this morning, saw the group of people floating there covered in blood in the lower reaches of Mermaid Bay. ”

"I don't know who killed it, there's really a set. Hody's gang has been running amok for so long, and someone should punish them. ”

"But this is something that even the king's army has alarmed. My guess is that it's the humans, Hodi has long been suspected of being behind the hunting of humans, and it is only natural that humans take revenge for their kind. But it's really unpleasant, Hoddy's group of guys are too weak, and they were defeated by the hateful humans!"

"Don't talk about Hoddy's people early in the morning. Hear another news? It is said that since yesterday the hard-shell tower of the palace has not been attacked by the madman Van der Dyken. This is very strange, usually Van der Dyken, but every day he will assassinate the princess. ”

A seahorse fishman whispered, "I have a piece of gossip from a friend of one of my second aunt's brother's nephews, who is the king's army, and he said that even the king is very nervous now, wondering if there is some big conspiracy in Vanderdyken. The palace was on alert, and then the whole island was on alert. ”

"Your gossip is really exaggerated, that second aunt's brother's nephew friend is definitely not from the King's Army, my brother is a regular King's Army, the real reason why Vanderdyken didn't attack Princess Shirahoshi has been investigated. In the Sea Forest, Van der Dyken's ancestral ship, the Flying Dutchman, is lying there, and the Van der Dyken Pirates have been captured and confessed. ”

"What!?" "Not really, right?" "That Vanderdyken pirates were caught?" "Great, Princess Shirahoshi, we haven't seen each other in eight years." ”

Some heartfelt joyful voices embarrassed the person who originally said those words, but in fact, he didn't dare to confirm whether the news was true, and then said weakly: "Their captain heard that it was captured by humans, and that ship is the same ship that entered Mermaid Bay yesterday. ”

"How is that possible? How can humans help our princess Shirahoshi? must be slave traders who want to take the fish-people to the earth to sell. A sturgeon-fish-man vendor glanced at the table of the three Hobodi.

"Mermaid Bay is only a few hundred meters away from here, isn't it? Could it be the big ship? Damn, what the hell is the King's army doing, letting the slave traders swagger......" The merchant stood up and looked at Hopodi, and suddenly he felt a chill in his body, and shivered all over: "Hey, why is my coffee frozen?"

"Monet, don't be too troublesome. Hopodi frowned.

"Who told him that we were slave traders. ”

"I, I don't like what they say either......"

After a few minutes of silence, Ihiri brought three cups of coffee, Hopodi first took his sugar-free coffee, then placed the sweetened coffee in front of Pacia, and handed the salted coffee to Monet.

Monet sneered: "I thought the sweetener would give it to me~" As he spoke, he looked at the dancer opposite her and smiled slyly: "Pasia, let's exchange it, shall we?"

Pascia was weak and weak, and was about to give in, when suddenly she received a tap on the shoulder, and her body moved.

"Don't bully her, Monet. It makes sense for me to order coffee with salt. ”

Hopodi looked at Ihirly, who was retracting the tray when her hand was being held down.

"Miss Mermaid, do you know if Ryugu Castle's capture of the Vanderdyken Pirates is true or not?"

Ishili had never encountered this kind of situation, looking at the strong guest in front of her, her face looked cramped and uneasy, refusing no, not refusing no, and making a fuss: "This guest ......"

"It's okay, I just wanted to ask you a few questions. Hobodi let go of his hand.

Ihiri breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and found that no one had noticed this scene, and whispered to Hobodi and the others: "Please don't do this kind of behavior again, since you have heard the dissatisfaction of those people around you with your humans, you should also understand that that kind of behavior just now will cause you a lot of trouble." ”

"You're so kind...... Beautiful Miss Mermaid. Hopodi smiled.

When Ihiri saw the human in front of her, a blush appeared on her face, and she froze in place.

Hobodi's tone changed: "So, the question just now. ”

Ihiri came back to her senses from her thoughts, thought for a while, and nodded hesitantly: "It should be." According to the king's attitude, the captain of the Van der Dyken Pirates, Van der Dyken, is also estimated to have been arrested. ”

"Oh?" Hopodi was stunned, Vanderdyken was obviously in his hands, how could this mermaid come up with such an answer?

Ihiri looked around again, leaned over to Hopodi's ear with a tray, and whispered, "The King is going to host a banquet for the White Star Lord tonight, and I, as a dancer, have the honor of being invited." If you buy a fishman disguise costume in town, I can give you my invited dance partner slot...... My name is Ihily. ”

Is this an active accosting? Hopodi smiled, "Thank you, Ihily." But please allow me to refuse, after all, I am a human being, and if it is found that you brought me into Dragon Palace City, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of it. ”

"I don't know your name yet......" After being rejected, Ihiri was not discouraged in the slightest, but stared at Hopodi with a hint of aggression in her eyes.

"My name is Joe Gamble, beautiful mermaid lady. ”

The girl Ishly left with a strong fantasy of "the encounter between humans and mermaids", although it was a refusal, but looking at Ishly's expression, when she came, she would definitely tell the story of this encounter, a beautiful mermaid and a human falling in love, as an after-dinner dessert to those sisters.

Monet drank salt coffee and said in a narrow tone: "It's really a gentleman's demeanor, we won't disturb your date with the mermaid girl, right?"

"What are you making a fuss about?" Hopodi shook his head with a smile, he didn't believe that a woman like Monet would be jealous.

"I'm just curious why I wasted the opportunity to enter Dragon Palace City. I don't believe you're a man like that......" Monet said his inner doubts.

Hopodi shook his head, and his tone became serious: "Since I have given the task to Saka, I will not make any other moves. It was a test, even if he didn't pass it. I have a map of Ryugu Castle, and there are several other ways to enter. I finally finished the camouflage game on the ground, how could I play it again? It's useless for New World to do these little tricks. ”

"I totally get it. Monet stared at Hopodi with big eyes and drank the salt and coffee.
