646. More than one
The mermaid who was taken down looked confused and looked very innocent, but when Deslo pulled out the puppet silk, his face suddenly changed, and his expression was distorted like an ordinary person.
Even if it is such a unique appearance of the mermaid clan, with his expression, it looks very weird and terrifying.
"That's not right...... Are all these fish-people fools? "Having casually controlled three merfolk was something that Delonian couldn't understand.
Su Yu looked at her with a puzzled face, and sighed leisurely: "Is there a possibility that there is more than one puppeteer on the fish-man's side?" ”
Deslot: "......"
Deluo was silent for a few seconds, and then nodded seriously: "It's me who neglected this possibility, I just thought that this method is rare, and few people know about it, but less doesn't mean that there isn't." ”
"So the number of mermaids being controlled is not just three, maybe even more than six, and there may be more." Although Su Yu is very reluctant to admit this, judging from the current situation, the truth is most likely like this.
"Anyway, check these things out first." Delo admits that she has done her best, and although she has the materials, there are not enough materials for the entire merfolk to use.
And even if she has enough materials, it is impossible for her to let everyone come to do a test, otherwise there will be such a big movement, even if the controlled mermaid is found, the news in the palace will definitely be spread by the dummy mermaid, and then it will really be a surprise.
……
Ten minutes later, all the thirty mermaids called by the eldest prince had been checked.
Of the thirty mermaids, only one was controlled by a puppet, and the remaining twenty-nine were normal.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the mermaids, the Grand Prince sent five men to keep an eye on the dummy in the portrait, and then sent another fifteen people to scatter around the palace and let them hold the Grand Prince's token and examine the other suspicious merfolk in the palace.
As for the eldest prince who inspected the palace, he had also been found, and it was said that because of the matter of the second elder, now the palace should start to purge the mermaids who accepted benefits and violated the rules of the clan, so that not only their people could be inspected, but also their belongings could be inspected.
As for the rest of these people, the eldest prince did not arrange them immediately, after all, he also needed manpower around him, and it was a man who could be completely trusted.
The order was given, and all the merfolk present understood the seriousness of the matter, and they immediately began to act according to the order of the eldest prince.
"Wait, you guys bring this." Before the merfolk left, Delo gave them a large handful of 'sticks'.
Under the puzzled gaze of these mermaids, Delo explained without changing his face: "This is puppet wood, which is a special material for making puppets, and it is also the best prop to resist the control of puppets. ”
After listening to the explanation, these merfolk knew that this might be a good thing, but they were not familiar with Delo after all, so they did not accept it immediately, but looked at the eldest prince.
It wasn't until they saw the eldest prince nod and tell them to put it away that they thanked Deslo and took the puppets with them.
So far, what Su Yu should do and what he can do has basically been done, and the only thing that has not been solved is the underground staircase that appeared after cracking the formation in the water dungeon.
The reason why she brought so many people with her was also to go there to find out.
"It's all up to the eldest prince here, and I'm going to take someone to the water prison now." Su Yu only said to go to the water prison, but did not say what to do, but the eldest prince is well-informed and should also know what happened in the water prison.
"I'm afraid it won't work." The eldest prince shook his head, and then before they misunderstood, he took the first step to explain: "The Great Elder has sent someone to guard the door of the water prison. ”
To be honest, whenever the eldest prince's words were said a few seconds later, Su Yu had to wonder if he was trying to stop himself.
However, after hearing the explanation, she couldn't help but feel a little headache.
This Great Elder can really be said to be the most troublesome person in the entire merfolk clan.
Even though he has tens of millions of good things, such as high strength, loyalty to the mermaid clan, and upright behavior...... But just because of his 'stubborn character', no matter how good he is, all of them will be canceled out.
For this kind of person, Su Yu can't use tough means yet, because this kind of person doesn't eat hard and soft, he will only believe what he wants to believe, but Su Yu's identity is destined to make her unable to be trusted by the Great Elder.
Even if she took out the things of the elf clan, it would be the same, and the fifth elder had mentioned this to Su Yu, otherwise Su Yu would not have chosen to come to the eldest prince for help.
"Since the Great Elder is guarding, it's not a good thing to be invited, so we won't go." Su Yu sighed and said helplessly.
The eldest prince looked at her deeply, and then nodded slightly: "Since Miss Su has other arrangements, then I won't stay longer." ”
Su Yu paused, and then said goodbye to the eldest prince.
……
……
After leaving the palace of the eldest prince, Su Yu didn't pretend anymore, and went directly to the water prison with people.
I didn't meet any mermaids along the way, otherwise it would be really troublesome to explain.
When they arrived near the water dungeon, Su Yu asked everyone to take out all the props related to the concealment.
Hearing Su Yu's instructions, everyone understood that what she said in front of the eldest prince was actually a lie, and what 'it was not good to be uninvited' was just a scene.
However, the eldest prince probably also knew that Su Yu was just talking, and it wasn't really that he wouldn't go to the water prison, otherwise he wouldn't have said Su Yu's words 'other arrangements'.
He knew, but he didn't stop it, and he pretended not to know, which was what it meant to acquiesce.
Although he is the heir, after all, he is not completely in power, and it is not good to deal with the Great Elder, so he did not choose to help Su Yu.
"The two of you go and lure people away, and after the people are gone, the others will go directly into the water prison, don't hesitate to ......" After some arrangement, everyone acted according to the arrangement.
Although there were a few glitches along the way, the result was good, all of them managed to enter the water prison, and the two men who had been assigned to attract attention slipped in while there was chaos outside.
"All of them are here." Duoya counted the number of people, and then said to Su Yu.
"Then let's get ready to go, before leaving, everyone first take a look at the things in their backpacks, whether there are any missing or insufficient props, now add them immediately......" Su Yu carefully reminded them word by word to check their belongings, and after confirming that everyone was ready, the two people who were arranged to hold torches and walk at the front to open the way.
