The startled little siren finally left the traffic pipeline under Shaqila's coaxing and scaring. Before leaving, she still held Doudou curiously and looked at it for a long time: she had never seen it in her life. Such a small "similar" probably has a great impact on the world view. Hao Ren didn't know anything else, but he knew that he came to Nasathorn this time, and he had a more in-depth understanding of the "sea monster" race...
Soon, they came to the royal area located in the center of Nasathorn.
What appeared before Hao Ren's eyes was a group of buildings that hadn't been repaired yet. There used to be a magnificent palace of the Siren Queen here. However, in the crisis a few months ago, the palace was greatly damaged due to the aftermath of the battle between the people and the brain monsters. The main part of it was almost razed to the ground. Most of the tower also collapsed in the explosion. Such a huge damage cannot be rebuilt in a short time, and today's sea monsters do not have so many large-scale machinery and the construction technology of the year, so they just repaired the spaceship control facilities under the palace as much as possible, and then cleaned up the ruins on the surface. Several temporary buildings were built on it to serve as the queen's residence and government offices. Compared with the previous palace, the several domed halls on the large open space look very shabby, but it is also because many building ruins have been emptied, leaving a large open space here, which has now become a new assembly center. , you can see groups of sea-monsters wandering here—here Hao Ren finally saw a few sea-monsters that kept their human appearance, and his eyes were not caught by those fighting shrimps, giant sea crabs, deep-sea monsters, etc. The ooze is tormented...
Shaqila led Hao Ren and his party to swim to the gate of the temporary palace. Fortunately, the gang of sea monsters in the palace haven't completely lost their chains. The battle maids guarding the gate still maintain the appearance of a snake girl. These heroic battle maids with tridents in their hands knew Hao Ren—because they were Hao Ren and his gang beat them up—they immediately swam over happily to say hello, and the two guards ran to notify the people inside. Hao Ren followed Shaqila into the palace, and as soon as he entered, he found that the sirens in the palace were not that strong...
In addition to the sea monsters who have to stand guard at various positions and still maintain their human appearance, there is also a battle of demons dancing wildly inside. Those imposing Pippi shrimps and sea crabs running around are easy to explain. This is more or less the fighting form of the Kraken, but the buckets and sea urchins rolling around on the ground can only be explained as the queen's guards also Bored out of tricks. Hao Ren even saw a huge anchor bouncing "walking" in the corridor of the palace. He was dumbfounded, but Shaqila kindly explained: "... This is the anchor of the Titanic. Originally she I was going to change the entire Titanic, but later found that the palace couldn't hold it... "
At this time, the anchor had jumped in front of Hao Ren. This piece of "steel" swayed in place, and suddenly turned into another acquaintance: Soma.
It's also the siren I met in the last incident...
"Ah, Hao Ren, long time no see!" Soma greeted Hao Ren happily, and introduced her current situation solemnly, "I am the queen's guard now, and the queen is inside. But She is busy with the banquet and can't come out, so let me take you there."
Hao Ren followed Soma in a daze. He didn't know what the "banquet" the other party was talking about until he came to a hall. It turned out that there were also small-scale celebrations here, with various humanoid and non-humanoid sea monsters. (Most of them should be nobles and officials) happily holding parties here. Nangong Wuyue stretched her neck and looked around to find the Siren Queen, but she didn't find it for a long time: "Where is the Queen? Has she transformed?"
Soma pointed to a corner of the venue: "It's over there! She's here!"
Hao Ren looked in the direction of the other's finger. Even in the water, he broke out in a cold sweat: because he suddenly saw a torpedo rushing towards him!
"Wow!" Lily burst out in dialects that were frightened by the scene, "There are torpedoes!!"
As a result, her voice just fell. The torpedo had already landed firmly in front of Hao Ren, then swayed on the spot and exploded into a mist of water. The figure of the Siren Queen Katrina walked out of the mist. The Siren Queen was startled by Lily. He also shouted: "Where is the torpedo?!"
"Didn't you just now!" Hao Ren broke into a cold sweat with difficulty. At this time, it popped up again, "Are you too deformed!?"
"Oh, so it was about me," Katrina finally realized, she smiled and shook her long snake tail, "The queen always needs to be different, and I want to be more creative than others. "
Hao Ren was speechless: "..."
"It's been a long time," Katrina didn't feel anything wrong at all, she just smiled gently and dignifiedly. His eyes stayed on Hao Ren and his party one by one, "Elsa came here twice during this period."
Hao Ren looked at the Siren Queen with a strange expression. It's not that the other party's current state is abnormal, on the contrary, it's too normal: Her Majesty has become dignified and elegant in the blink of an eye, and her speech and behavior are full of temperament and momentum. You can't imagine her at all. A few minutes ago, he turned himself into a torpedo to scare people... No one has changed so much, right
There is a sentence in his mind that is blessed to shine out: the sea monster is indeed made of water...
At this moment, Katrina saw that Hao Ren was silent, so she took the initiative to speak up, "You guys came here so suddenly, there must be some serious business?"
"Oh yes, we're here for business," Hao Ren finally realized and patted his head, "When we came here, we met your unique special festival, which almost confused me... Can we find a quieter place?" Is there a place to speak?"
Katrina nodded: "Follow me."
Hao Ren followed the Siren Queen, but he soon noticed that Lily's eyes were always looking around, and Doudou beside him was also circling excitedly, so he waved to the others: "Aren't you interested?" Just play outside and don’t make trouble.”
As soon as the words came out, everyone except Vivian ran away without a trace—as expected, they were not willing to go to the meeting with them...
Nangong's family of four ran to communicate with the sea monsters, and Lily ran to find something that could be added to her "Wang's Treasure". The cats seemed to perk up as if they had smelled catnip, while the little mermaid Doudou was scurrying around the hall like a happy bullet, as if returning home. Seeing this situation, Hao Ren greeted Nangong Wuyue from a distance: "Wuyue! Help take care of Doudou, don't let her get lost!"
Then he turned to Vivian: "Aren't you going with me?"
Vivian rolled her eyes: "It's easy to short-circuit your brain when you talk, I'll go with you to suppress the scene."
Hao Ren was speechless again: "..."
The three came to a rest room next to the hall. Seeing Hao Ren's serious expression, Katrina shunned all the maids and guards here, and then asked, "What happened?"
"It has something to do with your home planet," Hao Ren nodded. "Uh, don't worry, your planet is fine. The problem is a group of unlucky exiles—I rescued a group of people a while ago..."
Now Hao Ren told Katrina what happened in the Dream Plane, and concealed the complicated background and artifacts. The Siren Queen listened carefully, and only occasionally asked a few questions in the middle—about the shape and principle of those exiled arks, she seemed very interested in it. After Hao Ren finished speaking, she blinked: "That is to say, there is a group of aliens who have encountered ecological disasters and fled their homes just like us, and their Ark in Exile is now out of ammunition and food, and must find a planet to dock , and the Siren mother planet Io is the most suitable place for them to land as far as you know?"
"To be honest, I can find alternatives if I have to look for them. My drone swarm has found some planets that can barely allow them to survive, but those planets are either polluted by source blood or have a bad environment. Ark can barely survive there. A large number of people will be lost after landing," Hao Ren looked into Katrina's eyes, "Io is the only planet where they can live without any modification, and my drone swarm can protect that place."
Katrina frowned thoughtfully. (to be continued~^~)
