In 1861, the Citi Civil War broke out.

At that time, in the face of the Southern Army supported by the Western European powers, the Northern Army was unable to support itself and had no choice but to ask Tsarist Russia for help.

In the end, because of the fleet sent by Tsarist Russia, the Northern Army gained a precious respite, and finally won the war and unified the entire Citigroup.

At that time, for strategic reasons, Tsarist Russia was in a hurry to sell its Alaska territory in order to serve as a strategic buffer.

With the help of Tsarist Russia during the war, Citigroup had no choice but to take over Alaska.

And in 1867, with a "high price" of 7.2 million US dollars, the Star-Spangled Banner was raised for the first time on the territory of Alaska, becoming the largest state in Citigroup.

At that time, almost the entire Citigroup people accused Seward Adams, who signed the sale and purchase agreement, of buying a worthless ice field and making the country a laughing stock of the whole world.

However, it soon became clear that Alaska was rich in fisheries!

Then a huge gold mine was discovered, and there were amazing oil deposits!

The originally worthless territory has been transformed into a resource hotspot that everyone envies!

It was only then that Tsarist Russia realized how unworthy the deal was, and shouted that it was fooled......

And it was because of the great wealth generated by Alaska that the Adams family became what would become. It made it Citigroup, the richest family at the time!

More than half a century later, the Adams family industry is now the largest in the world.

And in 1958, in Litua Bay, eastern Alaska, someone discovered an ancient and mysterious black stone altar.

And on the black stone altar, there are people who have seen the legendary mermaid!

Barton Adams, the eldest son of the Addams family, who was in the prime of life, was inexplicably excited when he heard the news.

Immediately, without any hesitation, an expedition team was immediately organized, and with great interest, they went to the mysterious black stone altar to look for mermaids.

And in order not to let others disturb his great adventure, Barton used his family's power in Alaska to completely block the matter, even the Citi Nation government did not know about it......

However, when Barton Adams' expedition arrived at the mysterious Black Stone Altar shortly after.

A major earthquake struck the Littua Bay in Alaska, sinking a large amount of iceberg and frozen soil to the bottom of the sea, causing the highest super tsunami in history!

"It was because of the sudden earthquake and tsunami that my father, Barton, never came home.

The loss of the eldest son of the Adams family caused serious internal divisions, causing the entire family to gradually split and collapse, and it took a long time for the family to recover. ”

When Daisy, an old foreign woman, said this, as if she recalled the unbearable past, her eyes were already full of sadness.

And at this moment, Betty, a blonde beauty on the side, looked at her grandmother, who was getting haggard and old in front of her, and said sadly:

"The Adams family is still alive today because of my grandmother alone. If she hadn't supported the entire family alone, the Addams family would have ceased to exist long ago.

At that time, my grandmother, who had lost her father, was just a teenage girl......"

"Alright Betty, don't mention anything extraneous. ”

Daisy Adams said, and then looked at the young man in front of him, who was still breezy and calm, and then said:

"My father's expedition found only the body of one member of the expedition after the accident, which was found by sailors at sea and sent back to the Addams family.

And it was on this corpse that we found my father's notebook. Although the handwriting on it has been slightly blurred by seawater, it is still possible to roughly read the contents.

It turned out that my father and the others found the black stone altar on an ice field, but they didn't find any mermaids.

There was nothing left of the altar except for a black stone tablet covered with mysterious drawings.

Seeing this, my father couldn't help but be disappointed, and he had no choice but to return in disappointment. But thinking that I couldn't come in vain, I had to bring back some "loot".

So he ordered the expedition to take down the black stone tablet on the altar and take it away.

However, when they pushed the stele with great effort, a bottomless ancient well appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing this, my father was in high spirits again, thinking that the legendary mermaid was probably in this deep well.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he began to organize manpower and led the exploration team with great interest to go deep into the ancient well......

And the notes ended here, and no one knew what happened to them in the well.

The only clue at that time was the body found by the sailors, always clinging to a huge fish scale......

However, upon closer examination of the mysterious scales, we found that they were not from any existing creature at all, but scales tens of thousands of years old.

And when I took over the Addams family for the time being, I began to investigate the truth about my father's death.

After spending countless financial and material resources, the search team finally found the black stone tablet recorded in my father's notebook in the depths of the sea, and salvaged it.

At the same time, I also learned by chance that a month after the 1958 tsunami in Litua Bay, a huge iceberg suddenly appeared in the waters of China, and there seemed to be a black stone altar on it!

I was thrilled by the news, and it was likely that the truth about my father's death was about to come out.

However, when I tried to investigate, I found that the Chinese government, apparently due to political sensitivities, had very poor records about the past half century and had left little useful information.

Most of the experts and scholars who participated in archaeology have passed away, and the clues have been completely cut off.

I was so disappointed that I even thought of giving up.

However, as if God had mercy, I received news not long ago. An archaeologist who not only climbed the iceberg, but even went deep into the deep well of the altar himself, is still alive!

I was overjoyed by the news, and I quickly contacted the archaeologist at all costs.

At first, on the phone, the old scholar didn't want to reveal what happened, but when I told him all about my father's experience, he told me about the iceberg.

And until that moment, I didn't know that there was no mermaid under that ancient well, but a prehistoric beast frozen in ice!"
