In the main hall, Lu Ye met the curious gaze of the Mermaid Queen, cupped his fists and saluted: "Human Li Taibai, I have met the Queen!"
He didn't know what kind of etiquette he should perform when meeting the king of his clan, but it was fine as long as it made sense.
The queen spoke, and her childish voice came out, which Lu Ye couldn't understand. The mermaid's language was very ups and downs, and it sounded like singing to her ears, so even though she couldn't understand it, it still sounded good to her.
Yan Miao explained at the side: "The queen said that this war can be won only because of you. She is very happy that you can come to Huangluo Palace as a guest. During your stay in Huangluo Palace, except for a few forbidden places, you can go anywhere."
You can come and go at will. If you have any needs, just ask and our clan will try our best to satisfy you."
Lu Ye nodded: "Thank you Queen for your kindness!"
The queen spoke again, and after a moment Yan Miao explained: "The queen said that she would like to buy some more of those formation disks from you. In addition, she would also like to ask you to help tattoo those special patterns on more clan members. Our clan can
Pay a certain amount of remuneration.”
What she was referring to was probably the Void Tattoo. Except for the Queen, who was in charge of a treasure for storage, no one else in the mermaid clan had any. Lu Ye had tattooed the Void Tattoo on Bai Lu before, which undoubtedly made him feel uncomfortable.
They found convenience.
Lu Ye was extremely happy: "No problem!"
When he came here before, he saw such a large area of ling jade veins, which made him feel itchy. However, this ling jade vein is people's habitat after all, and it is not easy to mine it at will. But if it is a trade, then it will not be a problem.
With previous experience, Lu Ye had already experienced the generosity of the mermaid clan, and this race was obviously not short of money.
This trip was well worth it! The queen said a few more words, and Yan Miao explained as before: "Your distinguished guest will go to rest first. After our clan has made some arrangements, we will come back to discuss the transaction with you in detail."
Lu Ye gave a final salute to the queen before retreating.
Yan Miao didn't leave, this time it was Bai Lu who took him.
After leaving the hall, Lu Ye was quite curious: "Bai Lu, what is your relationship with the Queen?"
Bai Lu replied with a smile: "She is my sister."
Sure enough...it was said that there were traces of white dew on the queen's young face. It turned out that they were sisters. However, according to Lu Ye's observation, the queen's strength was not as good as Bai Lu's, but somehow she was the queen and Bai Lu was just a princess.
Lu Ye was not interested in prying too closely into other people's household affairs.
Following Bai Lu, he came to a side room, which was obviously the residence arranged for him.
Bai Lu said: "You rest first, I'm right outside the door. If you need anything, call me at any time."
Lu Ye thought for a while and said, "Let's take a walk around." He didn't need any rest, and it was rare to come to this place. There was no harm in walking around and broadening his horizons.
Bai Lu nodded immediately and smiled playfully: "It's all up to you. During your stay in Huangluo Palace, I will be your follower." With that said, he led Lu Ye around.
When Lu Ye was traveling around with Bai Lu, several elders of the mermaid clan gathered in the main hall.
But the queen left.
For the current mermaid clan, the queen is just a symbol. Although her status is supreme, due to her age and cultivation, all major matters within the clan are actually handled by several elders through consultation.
The few people Lu Ye had seen in the hall before were all elders of the mermaid clan, including the first elder Yan Miao, a total of five elders.
"The guests have been invited, let's talk about what to do next." Yan Miao said, she is the elder, and she has the highest status in the clan besides the Queen and Bai Lu.
The second elder, who is also a female mermaid, said: "It is recorded in the ancient classics of the clan that if our clan wants to break the curse, the key lies in the temple. However, over the years, there has been no abnormality in the temple. This time, there is a human race suddenly
Appearing here is obviously unusual, so I think this person may have something to do with our clan’s efforts to break the curse!”
The third elder nodded and said: "Since he is a person under the care of the temple, he must be extraordinary. I agree with the second elder. Maybe our escape from the curse will really fall on this human race, so no matter what, we will
We need to have a good relationship with him."
Lu Ye only thought that the mermaid clan was being generous. Previously, he gave Bai Lu 50 array disks, but they brought back so many spiritual crystals. But in fact, it was not just the mermaid clan that was generous. With the help of the array disk, the mermaid was able to resolve a disaster.
This is part of the reason, and part of the reason is that the mermaid clan is looking forward to the first human race to appear in the temple in countless thousands of years.
"But how to build a good relationship?" The fourth elder is the only male mermaid, "The human race is greedy and cunning, and our race is in this situation because of the human race. What kind of temperament does this human race have? Can you believe it?
It's unbelievable, we don't know.
He turned to look at Yan Miao: "Great Elder, you have had contact with him. What do you think of his character? Is there anything that can be exploited?"
Yan Miao carefully recalled every detail of her contact with Lu Ye, and slowly said: "To be able to get the attention of the temple, he is certainly not an ordinary person. This young man is not old but his cultivation is not weak. I guess he would be good on the side of the human race."
He is a good seedling, and it can be seen that he is very interested in our spiritual jade vein. When he came here, he has been sizing up the spiritual jade vein. "
The fifth elder, the youngest, smiled when he heard the words: "Humans have been greedy for money since ancient times. Not to mention the stars, even if the sun comes to our place, I'm afraid we will have to look at the spiritual jade veins more often."
The third elder said: "Since he is greedy for money, can we start from this aspect? Don't we want to make a deal with him? Just give him more spiritual jade.
Yan Miao shook his head: "The relationship based on interests is the strongest and the weakest. Of course we can give him more spiritual jade, but if he only wants to earn spiritual jade from our clan, the relationship between us will never be possible.
Go further!”
The Fifth Elder smiled slightly: "I understand what the Great Elder means. Since we can't use interests as a binding force, we can only take another path!"
Several other people looked at her curiously.
The fifth elder said: "In addition to being greedy for money, the human race is also lustful! There are not many other things in our clan, but there are many beauties. And for the human race, the beauties of our clan have a different style. He is not old, and he is full of blood.
Sometimes, we just need to tease him a little bit, how can he resist?"
Several elders could not help but fall silent.
To be honest, the fifth elder's proposal made them a little repulsive. According to ancient records, the mermaid clan is noble and holy. When did they need to use such dirty methods? But if you really want to establish a strong relationship with an unfamiliar human race in a short time, it is still strong.
If so, this method is undoubtedly convenient and fast.
If the human race really matured with age, the mermaid clan would definitely not have such an idea, but this is what the young guys like the most.
The fifth elder added: "And the human race takes chastity very seriously, so we only need to find a pure female tribe member and talk about feelings with him, and then he will have a bond to stay in the tribe. When the time comes,
Slowly getting in touch with him will naturally bring him back to his heart. And don’t forget that he is alone in the temple. Don’t you want to live a more lively life? If we open our arms and accept him, he will not reject it.
, after all, in this vast sea of everything, except for my mermaid clan, the only intelligent race he can come into contact with is us."
After a pause, the fifth elder continued: "Not to mention this, even if this person is not the key to solving the curse, judging from the various abilities he has shown before, if he can be allowed to stay in the clan, it will be of great benefit to our clan.
The benefits!" Both the formation disk and the thorn patterns have brought huge changes to the human race, and this is only what they can understand. God knows what they don't understand. What other magical things does the human race named Li Taibai have?
.
Such a human race, not to mention the mermaid race trapped in the Sea of Vientiane, any race in the starry sky would definitely be hungry for talents if they saw it.
Yan Miao has been hesitating, but after hearing this, he finally made up his mind and nodded: "The fifth elder is right, but if you really want to do this, who should you choose?"
The fifth elder covered his mouth and smiled: "They all say they want pure female tribesmen, but I definitely can't do it! You, the great elder... can't do it either."
Yan Miao couldn't help but glare at her.
The second elder said: "He is a person involved in the temple, and we have to rely on him to solve the problem of curses and poisons, so the candidate must not be too low-status, otherwise it will be easy for him to feel that we do not take him seriously.
, if he creates a gap with our clan by then, the gain will outweigh the loss."
The third elder said leisurely: "So there is only one candidate!"
The queen is too young, and even if she is old, she is not suitable for such a thing. Princess Bailu is just right!
Yan Miao looked troubled.
The fifth elder looked at her: "If it's not easy for the elder to tell the princess, I'll go ahead and tell her. I think with the princess's temperament, she will definitely not refuse."
Of course Yan Miao knew that Bai Lu would not refuse, and she would do anything that was beneficial to the tribe, even if it went against her own principles.
But she had watched Bai Lu grow up. Before she really got to know a person, she was asked to do such a thing. Yan Miao was very worried. What if she was pushed into a pit of fire?
In the ancient records of the tribe, there are not many words of praise for the human race. Everything that represents the human race is greed, cunning, greed for money, lust, betrayal, treachery... There are so many races in the starry sky, and each race is basically
Only the human race can unite with the outside world, and there are constant internal fights and disputes.
"I'll tell it myself!" Yan Miao finally made up her mind. She couldn't leave this matter to others.
Lu Ye followed Bai Lu for a half-day tour before returning. Although the scenery on the Lingyu Mine was colorful, it was just the same after seeing too much.
The key is that such a large area of spiritual jade veins can only be seen but not moved, which makes people feel uncomfortable and simply out of sight!
