The guards arranged by Luya recognized the three elders and thought about what the six princesses said to them, so they did not hide it and directly told the three elders of Luya's order.

"The sixth princess actually discovered the crack in the barrier last night? So why not tell us? The Third Elder didn't believe them because of their few words, on the one hand, this lie was too easy to tell, and on the other hand, he didn't think that the Sixth Princess would care about this kind of thing, let alone have the ability to find a crack in the barrier.

It can also be seen from here that Luya's reputation in the palace is indeed not very good, although it is not bad, but in the eyes of the other elders except the five elders, she should be a spoiled and willful little princess, rather than a capable mermaid.

Facing the question of the three elders, several guards also seemed a little overwhelmed, after all, the sixth princess didn't say much when they arranged for them, they just obeyed the order, and they didn't ask anything more.

"Where is the rift?" The three elders saw that they couldn't speak, but they didn't particularly embarrass them, after all, from the current point of view, these people seemed to have no problem, and they didn't look like they were lying, and there was no point in telling this lie.

"Third Elder, over here." One of the guardian merfolk pointed to an inconspicuous place, and the three elders looked carefully, and really saw a crack that was only as long as a knuckle.

It's not big, but it's deadly.

Because under normal circumstances, the barrier is not allowed to have a crack, even the size of a needle tip, so this seemingly small and inconspicuous mark is crucial.

"Did the sixth princess tell you anything? For example, how did she find this rift, and how many more are there? Seeing the rift, the three elders were basically sure that these mermaids should not be lying, so their attitude eased a little.

Although he was still curious about how the sixth princess knew the location of the rift, it didn't affect his opinion of the sixth princess to change the slightest.

"We don't know much about the specifics, it seems that a human came over and said something, and then the princess took us to find these cracks......"

"Humans?" The three elders were thoughtful.

To be honest, the Third Elder is actually similar to the Great Elder, both of whom believe in the phrase 'non-my race must have different hearts', but he is far less stubborn than the Great Elder, and occasionally when it is time to be flexible, he is still quite flexible.

It's just that in this matter, that is, the fact that the sixth princess brought human guests into the palace the day before the sacrificial ceremony, he, like the great elder, disagreed.

But it's useless to disagree, people are here, and it's not easy for them to get out, and they don't want to make any trouble the day before the sacrificial ceremony, plus there is also the guarantee of the five elders, so they will turn a blind eye.

It's just that now when they heard that this rift was actually discovered by humans, two thoughts came to the hearts of the three elders, one was that those humans used this to gain the trust of the six princesses and the mermaid clan, so as to seek more things.

The other idea is that these humans really just happened to see the rift and told the sixth princess out of kindness.

If it was the Great Elder, then he would most likely think that it was the former, after all, this rift was so inconspicuous that they didn't find it by the merfolk themselves, but how did the humans who had only been in the merfolk clan for less than a day find out?

The Third Elder actually had this question, but he would be more flexible, he would find it incredible that it would take humans less than a day to find a rift, and he would also feel that it was unnecessary for humans to gain their trust in less than a day.

If these humans come to the merfolk a few days in the morning and give them information to gain trust, then they will have enough time to use their trust to do something...... Therefore, the third elder felt that the guests invited by the sixth princess this time might really have nothing to do with the fishmen.

And what happened after that could basically allow the three elders to confirm their guesses.

Because these guards took the three elders and their party to find the location of the next few rifts, these cracks were large and small, although even the largest ones were only the size of palms, but there were really a lot of them.

At least from the current count, there are eight of them, and each of them is in a very hidden location, and you can't really find it if you don't pay attention.

Using so much information just to gain some trust is not a good deal.

"You go back to the sixth princess, and say that I will take over and guard the rift here." After the three elders said these words in a complicated heart, no matter what these guards arranged by Luya thought, they immediately ordered the mermaids under their hands to guard these rift points, and once they found any problems, they would report to him or the other elders as soon as possible.

Originally, things can actually not be so troublesome, there is a crack only need to be repaired, although such a large barrier is troublesome to repair, but the crack itself is not big, so it doesn't take much effort.

The biggest problem is that no mermaid can fix it!

The only Second Elder in charge of this matter was locked up by the Great Elder!

Up to now, the three elders have no choice but to use the most wasteful method to take care of these places, so as not to be taken advantage of.

When arranging these things, the third elder also met with the fourth elder, after all, they were inspecting the same place, and the mermaid clan was so big, it was not to the point that it would take more than half a day for the two of them to walk around.

After meeting the four elders, the three elders told him what they had encountered, and the expressions on the faces of the four elders were obviously a little strange, and they didn't believe that this was something that the six princesses would do.

Like the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder also had a change in the direction for the six princesses because of this incident.

"Now that we've checked it out, we only need to keep one." What the four elders meant was that there was no need for both of them to stay here, after all, the busiest one was definitely the Great Elder's side, they only needed to leave one here, and the other was to give the Great Elder a hand.

"Then I'll leave it to you here, I'll go find the Great Elder."

After a simple discussion, the third elder stayed, after all, the people guarding the rift here were all his people, and he could arrange people to do things if he stayed, as for the fourth elder, after hearing what the third elder said, he didn't shirk it, and directly took his own people to find the great elder.

On the way, the four elders looked at the palace as if it was dead and silent, and his heart was inexplicably cold, he beckoned the mermaids around him to speed up, but he heard an exclamation in the next second of his voice-
