National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

The shell house of the weaving workshop.

The flowing curtain was violently ripped off, but the place was pitifully small, with an open layout; you could see two walls at a glance, with no blind spots.

However, on the right side was a small mountain of silk and satin that radiated a halo.

These light and luxurious fabrics spread out like jellyfish in the seawater, seemingly enough to hide several fish—

That's the only suspicious point.

"search!"

Without hesitation, the guards pointed their spears at the conspicuous pile of fabric.

They swam forward and were about to use their weapons to pry them apart.

"etc!"

Sofia stood sideways in front of the fabric, slightly raising her chin:

"I have no problem with routine matters, but this batch of fabric is for Princess Brona and the sacrificial tower's celebration... If it gets damaged, I don't know if the adults will have any objections."

"Perhaps... one of you is willing to take this responsibility?"

The guards looked at each other, and none of them moved.

Brona is their boss, and there's also the sacrificial tower...

They know perfectly well that they're capable of using any excuse, even a minor conflict, to push a fish onto the altar, skin it, and dismember it.

The leader's sparse eyebrows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川川川".

Looking around the small space, besides the tables and chairs and the pile of rags on the right, there was only a bare wall of clam meat.

"Don't use any weapons!"

He impatiently put away his trident and led his men to carefully peek inside by peeling back layers of fabric.

Apart from a few small floating fireflies, there was nothing else.

"no."

"Captain, there's nothing there!"

Jin, the guard, turned and walked out, saying, "Let's go look somewhere else!"

"yes!"

The clanging of the armor plates faded away, the water flow inside the room returned to normal, and Sophia's gaze shifted to the bare, clam-like wall on her left...

Or rather, the location that belongs to the wall.

"Pop—"

The sound of bubbles bursting rang out.

A ripple-like pattern spread across the smooth, slightly fleshy surface, a bulge appeared in the middle of the wall, and finally, with a "splat," it turned into a flat octopus.

Xiao Jiu's color rapidly changed from milky white to pale gray, and it floated dizzily in mid-air...

It looks like an overcooked pancake.

Where it had just covered, four fish shadows of all sizes stood upright with their chests out and stomachs in, pressed against the wall as punishment.

He casually rolled up the takoyaki and stuffed it back into his pocket...

Incidentally, he also drew a big pie in the sky for "big pie"—

"Once this is all done, there will be a big meal."

Just now, Xiao Jiu stretched herself out into a single mass, then transformed into the color of the wall, completely obscuring the fish behind her, along with the original wall, creating an excellent blind spot.

In addition, the pile of fabrics that were very suitable for Tibetans and Sofia's attempts to obstruct them drew all of Jin's attention.

"Phew... I was suffocating..."

Klaus stretched out eight tentacles in a completely unseemly manner.

He didn't even dare to breathe!

They were afraid of wrinkling Xiao Jiu's "invisibility cloak" and turning it into a 3D mural.

Sofia swam over,

He pulled Piqué and Rose into his arms.

The little guy was terrified and only then dared to cry out, tears streaming down his face and mingling with the seawater.

She had a premonition.

These marginal nobles were bound to be affected sooner or later, but no one expected it to happen so quickly, catching Yu completely off guard.

"Thank you both for escorting them here."

Sofia took Dean from the children, calmed them down, and then turned to thank the two unfamiliar faces in front of her.

There was no intention of exchanging pleasantries.

The two adults and three children had entered through the proper channels, so the guards just now were definitely not searching for them. The only place where something went wrong must be Carlos's side.

But Sofia was unaware of these things.

Therefore, choosing to hide was also a way to test whether this "aunt" was trustworthy.

"Let's save the pleasantries for when we're safe... This isn't a safe haven right now."

Sofia nodded in agreement, tore off a soft piece of fabric to make a hammock for the three children to rest in, and then respectfully inquired:

"With martial law in place like this outside, you... you only went into the palace to escort Pique and the others?"

"Risbane." No beating around the bush.

"Your Highness?"

Sofia gasped and swam to the door, looking around.

"She is being held in Mingzhu Garden... She will be taken away for public execution tomorrow morning."

So urgent?

However, if you put it that way...

The security there is probably very tight, which may be why Carlos and his men gave themselves away and were subjected to such a large-scale manhunt.

Klaus's thinking was clearly similar to Renyi's.

"Should we go over there right away?"

He asked.

"My benefactors..."

Sofia earnestly advised him.

"Pearl Garden is now a den of thieves; the Golden Guard has surrounded it completely, and giant electric eels patrol it constantly... There's simply no way to sneak in from the outside!"

Infiltration is impossible...

After thinking for a while, he took out Xiao Jiu, which was about to go to sleep, from his pocket again.

Xiao Jiu had been stretched like wall plaster for a long time, and now it was too lazy to even change color, still a lifeless gray.

"What color is this? It's so beautiful!"

The voice was so gentle it could melt water.

Poke it, then poke it again.

"Mermaid, come find me when you've made that big pancake!"

Xiao Jiu lazily wriggled a little, expressing its dissatisfaction with the back of its head.

"Stop playing dead."

Ren Yi still doted on her, but what he said made Sophia's eyes widen: "Do me a favor, I'll find some relatives for you to eat later."

Upon hearing this, it perked up.

It instantly turned back to blue, and five hands formed a human-like palm that stretched out—

"make a deal!"

He could laugh out loud at will.

Under Klaus and Sophia's bewildered gazes, he obediently shook hands with an octopus, then asked a completely unrelated question:

"Ms. Sophia, may I ask...?"

"What do the vehicles of your Deep Blue royal family, like those of the High Priest and the King, look like?"

......

Carlos was still unconscious.

So Nathan explained the whole story to the princess who had been listening to a certain fish ramble on all the way.

Riseben opened the window,

He nudged the magic algae a few times with a cane so that they could block the two broken sections of the railing.

"You mean... Viya led the way for you?"

She frowned slightly, not understanding why her sister would do such a thing.

Maybe......

Do you really believe these people can save you?

at this time,

The horizontal green-haired mermaid suddenly opened its eyes.

He looked around blankly, and when his gaze caught that familiar figure, he sprang to his feet.

"Risbourne!"

Those who moved so fast that Nathan in the middle barely managed to dodge.

"This time it's my turn to save you!" Carlos gripped Riesben's hand tightly, his words tumbling out in excitement. "Let's go! Let's get out of this hellhole!"

Ivan nudged Nathan with his elbow: "Look at him, he's practically spitting out saliva."

"Love, huh?" Nathan shrugged.

Faced with Carlos's eager gaze, Rhys showed no impatience whatsoever. He raised his other hand and gently touched Carlos's cheek.

"No, Carlo."

Riseben's voice was soft but firm, "I can't leave."
