Chapter 1097 Then we have to change people
"How could this be?"
After listening to the whole plan of the old mermaid, Miss Salted Fish said anxiously:
"Let's not talk about whether throwing all the ice in the Tidal Realm into the real world will anger the Cleanup Bureau. We, the Sea Clan, are also part of the real world! How could you..."
"It's true that we are part of the present world, but will there be a place for us in the future world?"
"what?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, the present world has long belonged to humans, and I'm afraid it will continue to belong to humans in the future."
When he said this, the muscles on the old merman's face tensed slightly, and a hint of sadness unconsciously emerged in his grayish dark blue eyes.
"You two are too shallow... Compared to when I was born, the human population has almost increased twenty times! This greedy and evil race will sooner or later occupy all the land in the world like a barnacle growing on a turtle's back!
By that time, they will definitely turn their eyes to the sea and continue to occupy our living space until they completely drive us away! Rather than fighting to the death at that time, it is better to take advantage of the present time to cut off from the real world and retreat directly into the tidal world in advance!"
This……
Unexpectedly, this was the reason why the old mermaid decided to retreat into the tidal world. Miss Salted Fish was speechless for a moment, so she could only bite her lip and said:
“But the Tidal Realm is so small, if all the sea creatures retreat back to the Tidal Realm, there simply won’t be enough space!
Moreover, the entire sea floor is now frozen, and many of our compatriots have already moved to the unfrozen coastal waters. It will take at least three or four months to evacuate them all, but on the way they..."
"It won't take that long. About a month and a half will be enough."
"?"
"The Sea Clan is the Sea Clan, and the Ten Clan descendants of Da Ting are the Ten Clan descendants of Da Ting."
The old mermaid on the throne leaned back on the cold jade back of the chair and said indifferently:
“The entire Sea Clan has multiplied to the present day, with at least thirty branches. If we add up the rest of the mixed blood, the total number of branches may be more than eighty. However, only our three branches, Wo, Chao, and Xiao, are the direct descendants of the Ten Clan Clan.
We who were born in the sea basically only live near the Central Sea and rarely go to the coastal and shallow seas where the sea air is thin. If only the blood of the three sea tribes can enter the tidal world, one and a half months is enough. "
"?!!!"
Only bring the three sea tribes into the tidal world? Abandon all other sea tribes?
After hearing the young mermaid's answer, Miss Salted Fish felt a chill in her heart.
The relationship between other branches of the sea clan and the three "descendants of the sea" of Vortex, Tide and Howl is similar to the relationship between the humans of the Witch Country and the lineage of the Great Witch King. They are the descendants of the ten descendants of the Great Court and other races.
Although they carry the blood of the ten descendants of the Great Court, unlike themselves who have experienced "reversion of blood", they have not been recognized by the sea, nor do they have the ability to control the ocean currents. Therefore, they have never been recognized by their grandfathers and other "descendants of the sea", and are not allowed to approach the sea eye and the tidal boundary.
The number of pure descendants of the sea only accounts for about one thirtieth of the total population of all sea tribes. If only the three sea tribes retreated into the tidal realm, there would be no need to worry about the problem of the living environment... but what about the others?
"The Cleanup Bureau will take care of it."
As if knowing what Miss Salted Fish wanted to ask, the old mermaid said expressionlessly:
"Didn't you tell me before that the Cleanup Bureau has agreed to your idea of allowing some of the sea tribes to become citizens of the Thousand Sails Sea Nation and become part of the Twelve Kingdoms? Since they have this plan, let them take care of it."
"But……"
"Okay, I'm tired."
Lifting the staff at hand, he tapped the coral floor hard, creating an invisible stream of water, and then the old merman said wearily:
"I am the leader of the Liuwo lineage. These matters were decided by the three of us together. They have nothing to do with you... Get out!"
As soon as the old mermaid finished speaking, the water flow brought by the scepter suddenly surged, and then condensed into an invisible water dolphin, which swam over with a joyful cry, lifted up Miss Salted Fish who was about to say something, and directly carried her on its back and forcibly sent her out of the palace.
"Disgusting old antique!"
Following behind Miss Salted Fish, after being pushed out by another dolphin, the mermaid lady said angrily:
"It's always like this. Once he can't win an argument, he puts on airs and chases people away! Me... Wendy?"
Seeing her daughter who was a little distraught and obviously hit hard, the beautiful mermaid couldn't help but hold her in her arms. She brushed her hair that was messed up by the current behind her ears, and gently stroked her back, saying in a gentle voice:
"Let's ignore him! Since that old fogey has made up his mind, let him do it! We don't care!"
"Mother……"
After struggling a bit uncomfortably, Miss Salted Fish raised her head from the arms of the beautiful mermaid and said while biting her lip:
"Do you agree with Grandpa and the others' plan?"
"Of course I don't agree."
The beautiful mermaid snorted and said:
“Although you recognize him as your grandpa, I don’t want to recognize him as my father!
This stubborn old man's brain is harder than the volcanic reefs on the seabed! His mouth stinks more than the roe of a dead crab! His face changes faster than the direction of the ocean current! He will chase you away if you say something that doesn't suit his taste! When I first fell in love with your father..."
"Mother!"
Seeing that the mermaid lady was about to go off topic again after just two words, Miss Salted Fish could not help but say helplessly:
"That's not what I'm asking... What I want to ask is, what do you think of grandpa's idea of throwing all the frozen seawater into the real world and completely closing the Tide World?"
"As for me... I'm not really sure if what he did was right..."
The mermaid woman hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said frankly:
“I also think your grandpa’s behavior is not very good. Abandoning the other sea creatures except the descendants of the sea is quite excessive. But what he said does not seem to be completely unreasonable.
It is true that we, the descendants of the sea, and the Cleanup Bureau have been at peace for a long time, but the relationship between us is definitely not good, and the development of humans is so fast. If they really try to get involved in the ocean in the future... maybe it would be a good idea to move into the Tide Realm now?"
"What about the other sea creatures?"
Miss Xianyu couldn't help but clench her hands when she heard this, her face turned pale as she said:
"Although they haven't been recognized by the sea, they are still members of the sea clan! Are you just going to abandon them like this?
Moreover, the situation of the seabed freezing is so serious that even Grandpa and the other descendants of the Sea Miao cannot solve it. Does the Cleanup Bureau have a solution? What if the Cleanup Bureau can't solve this problem... then... then..."
"Then what else can be done?"
Looking at her worried daughter, the beautiful mermaid couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the back of her head, then said helplessly:
"Your grandfather and his family are the leaders of the three sea tribes. We cannot change the decision they made together. What else can we do except let it go?"
"us……"
Miss Salty Fish was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then tentatively asked, "What if we take the initiative to find the Cleanup Bureau?"
"?!!!"
"Mother! I think Grandpa is doing something wrong!"
After looking back at the tightly closed gate of the Yinhu Palace, Miss Xianyu took a deep breath of... sea water, then gritted her teeth and said:
“Although the Tidal Realm can be independent of the real world, it is still cut out from the real world. Although other sea creatures have not been recognized by the sea, they are still our compatriots!
Grandpa is throwing all the problems to the Cleanup Bureau and humans, and is even planning to abandon other sea creatures. This is really selfish!"
"This……"
"And there are so many other problems with Grandpa's plan!"
As the mermaid lady looked hesitant, Miss Salted Fish clenched her fist and said:
"After Grandpa and his men forcibly flip the Sea Eye, they will send all the ice in the Tidal Realm into the real world, replace it with seawater that has not been 'polluted', and then completely block the Sea Eye.
By that time, the speed of ocean freezing will definitely increase dramatically, and it may even increase several times! At present, we only need to drill through a few dozen meters of ice to reach the sea eye, but by then we may have to drill through hundreds of meters or even more, and the difficulty of solving the problem will be greatly increased!
If this situation really happens, even if it is indeed only the problem with the Sea Eye in this world and has nothing to do with our Tidal Realm, the Cleanup Bureau will definitely not let it go. Even if the Cleanup Bureau is not fast enough to solve the problem, both humans and the remaining sea creatures may suffer a large number of casualties!"
"Now that you put it that way... it really doesn't seem very good..."
After hearing that the old mermaid's actions might cause a large number of casualties, the mermaid's eyes could not help but waver, and she nodded with a slightly uneasiness:
"You're right, the old man's plan is indeed too extreme, but the Cleanup Bureau...
Alas! Actually, I am just like the old man. I am always worried about humans. What if we tell the Cleanup Bureau about the situation and they choose to sacrifice the interests of our sea people and prioritize the safety of humans? What should we do then?"
"This……"
"So even though I hate your grandpa's behavior, sometimes, I can actually... understand your grandpa."
The mermaid lady said helplessly:
“For example, this time, since he could think of a way to flip the sea eye, the Cleanup Bureau might not be unable to think of it, right?
If the Cleanup Bureau can't solve the problem of seafloor ice, in order to preserve the ocean in this world, will they seize the Sea Eye and throw the problematic ice layers on the seafloor into the Tidal Realm?"
"..."
"So it's not that your grandpa likes to think the worst of people, but he is in his position and dares not not make preparations in this regard... Oh! Let me think about it again!"
"I……"
After hearing what the beautiful mermaid said, Miss Salted Fish's face suddenly turned even paler.
Although she wanted to say at this moment that in her interactions with the God of Food, she felt that the God of Food was not the kind of person who would do such a thing, but when she thought that the other side of the scale might be the entire Tidal World, after moving her lips for a long time, she was still unable to open her mouth.
"Let's go! Let's go home first!"
After sighing slightly, the beautiful mermaid said a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, then took the distraught Miss Salted Fish's arm and swam into the waterway away from the Silver Coral Palace.
After a while, when the two swam out from the other end of the high-speed waterway, Miss Salted Fish turned her head and asked blankly at the familiar dock in front of her:
"Mother, didn't you just say you wanted to go home? Why..."
"Are you stupid?"
Seeing her daughter's doubtful eyes, the beautiful mermaid woman couldn't help but reach out and pinch her lightly, then said angrily:
"Hurry up and find your Uncle Andy, and ask him to take you away immediately and find the Cleanup Bureau!"
"what?"
Confused by the sudden turn of events, Miss Salted Fish asked back in astonishment:
"But didn't you just say..."
"Aren't you usually quite smart? Why are you being so stupid now?
We were just standing outside the Silver Coral Palace, less than 300 meters away from that damn old man. He is the leader of the Flowing Vortex Clan after all. What difference is there between what we said there and yelling into his ear?"
The beautiful mermaid complained speechlessly:
"If I didn't tell you that, but directly admitted that your idea was right, and I took you to the Cleanup Bureau for help right away, do you think that old antique would rush out of the Silver Coral Palace immediately and lock us both up until the Sea Eye was blocked?"
"..."
So all those words just now were lies? Was it to reassure Grandpa?
Being confused by the mermaid's fickleness, Miss Salted Fish said with a straight look in her eyes:
"But what you just told me... What if humans, in order to preserve the ocean of this world, might seize the Eye of the Sea and sacrifice the Tide Realm..."
"So as long as you don't contact the Cleanup Bureau, they won't come to grab the Sea Eye?"
Seeing her daughter being fooled by her random words and starting to think from the perspective of an old antique, the beautiful mermaid woman could not help but say speechlessly:
"That old antique is confused. Are you confused too? How many times bigger is the Death Realm than the Tide Realm? Who is stronger, the dozen or so Death Realm Lords or our three descendants? What is the current situation in the Death Realm?"
"..."
“Also, before your old confused grandfather took action, the Cleanup Bureau might not have thought of a way to flip the sea eye. Now that he has demonstrated it himself, even if the Cleanup Bureau is just a bunch of pigs, they should have thought of this method, right?
So instead of waiting for him to mess around and piss off the Cleanup Bureau, and then get beaten up, it's better to let you go and tell them! At least you're still having an affair with the God of Cookery, so he shouldn't kill your foolish grandfather for your sake."
"Mother!"
Seeing that the mermaid lady was talking and actually started to turn to this direction again, Miss Salted Fish couldn't help but said anxiously:
"How many times have I told you that he and I really don't have that kind of relationship!"
The beautiful mermaid frowned upon hearing this, and emphasized seriously:
"You can have this!"
"This really doesn't happen!"
"..."
"..."
"Really not?"
Miss Salted Fish was furious.
"I have already said that!!!"
"That's troublesome..."
Seeing that what Miss Salted Fish said seemed to be true, the mermaid lady couldn't help but freeze, bit her plump lips, and said with embarrassment:
"Although that old stubborn man is annoying, he is your grandfather after all. If you didn't have this relationship, it would be bad if the God of Food killed him... How about you give me the position of Queen Seol and let me try instead?"
"???????"
