Chapter 233: Mermaid Princess Olivia
"It's useless to analyze more now. Those guards don't even want to cooperate with us on the mission." Max was a little sad. He put his hands in his hair and said to Edwin, "Think of a solution."
"If we still don't connect when the concert starts, His Highness Klein will probably be overwhelmed by public opinion."
Edwin obviously thought of this as well, and his face looked unhappy. Although the Silver Snake Mercenary Group's desertion from the battlefield was still suspicious, most citizens would not care so much.
"Oh, when did you start to care so much about His Highness Klein?" Li Yu said with a hint of sarcasm.
"He's just thinking about the Little Mermaid." Edwin ruthlessly exposed Max's disguise.
As the saying goes, a quarrel at the head of the bed is repeated at the foot of the bed... ahem, although Edwin and Max are brothers, brothers don't hold grudges overnight, the same thing.
Both of them tacitly forgot the previous unpleasantness and were brewing new unpleasantness.
"I thought so..." Li Yu seemed to have just understood, but in fact his mind was as clear as a mirror. He stretched and looked at the Vitel Galaxy which was already within reach.
Bart finally stopped wiping his knife and said in a rather old voice, "Why not just ask His Highness Klein to contact the Mermaid Princess? Why bother with those guards?"
Li Yu shook his head: "Even if this is the case, the mermaid princess will still let her guards contact us. If the guards pretend to obey but secretly disobey, we will still fail to achieve our goal."
"Then we can't just stand there and watch." Max was quite anxious.
"I have a way, just follow me." Li Yu was not in a hurry. Klein seemed to have foreseen this and gave him a solution.
"Whatever we can do, we can't just force our way in." Max asked expectantly.
"As long as we meet the mermaid princess, we can just communicate with her directly." Li Yu said it easily, making Max roll his eyes.
"Meet the mermaid princess? That's easy to say... The only people who can get close to the mermaid princess are either her guards or important people. How do you get close to her?"
"Big shot?" Li Yu looked strange: "Aren't you two the big shots?"
Max was rarely embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "My father is, but I am not."
Edwin understood what Li Yu meant and thought: "It will take some time for our influence to work. We are not our parents, so our influence needs to ferment."
"Okay, then I'll try it." Li Yu touched his chin and pondered.
“You!?” Max stared at him suspiciously, “What can you do? If you approach Klein blindly, he will probably be considered an attacker, especially at this juncture.”
Li Yu glanced at Max: "Don't worry, I won't get close to her, she will come over by herself."
Li Yu was very unhappy with this guy's attitude, so he didn't bother to explain. No matter how Max guessed, he didn't respond, which made Max anxious and scratching his head.
…
After the last attack, the mermaid princess returned to her spaceship and did not show up easily until the incident subsided. Then she prepared to come out and head to the main planet of Vitel.
The Ocean Rose, the mermaid princess's spaceship, is parked at the dock on the main planet of Vettel.
This is a giant spaceship with a relatively three-dimensional anchor shape, surrounded by several frigates.
Because the mermaid princess is preparing to go out, the pier has stopped providing berthing services to the public today. A large crowd of people gathered here. These are the citizens of Vettel, who came to watch.
The Little Mermaid and several Vettel bigwigs will appear at the same time, so there will be a lot of people and it will be extremely crowded.
At the same time, in order to come here, you need to buy a ticket, and there are requirements, but several people are high-ranking citizens of Guixing, so they are naturally eligible to buy it.
The Mermaid Princess will only charge for concert tickets, and other derivative expenses will be handled by the local administrative planet. That's why the Mermaid Princess is so popular.
Wherever the mermaid princess goes, she will attract not only local citizens, but also a large number of interstellar tourists and even tourists from other civilizations.
At this time, Li Yu and his companions were in the crowd. Although people were surging around them, they stood still.
At the edge of the crowd were rows of soldiers maintaining law and order to prevent anyone from rushing forward. The soldiers on this road frequently looked at Li Yu and his companions with warning and vigilance in their eyes.
It was obvious that these people were extremely threatening life forms.
"What... do you want to do?"
Max was a little worried. He kept swallowing his saliva and looked nervous. "Are we really going to cause a riot and rush onto the spacecraft? Even if nothing happens, we will be very embarrassed."
Li Yu was too lazy to answer and waited silently.
After a while, there was a commotion among the crowd in the distance, and one by one the important figures, accompanied by their guards, came here to welcome the mermaid princess.
The crowd gave deafening cheers, and these big shots walked and waved with amiable smiles on their faces, creating a very immersive visual experience.
"It's the Vettel Archon. We could only see it on smart terminals before. It's worth the price of the ticket." Someone exclaimed nearby.
Someone nearby retorted: "This is just the beginning. It is said that there will be an impromptu performance by the mermaid princess. Although it is only one song, it is worth it."
Regardless of the mermaid princess's star effect, the special political status she represents is worthy of the governor's personal reception.
One by one, people walked over. It was because an assassination had just happened that a big fanfare was needed to demonstrate the safety of the Vitel galaxy.
Suddenly, louder shouts came from far away, surging like a wave.
Li Yu looked up and saw that the cabin of the Ocean Rose was opened, and a group of fishmen were slowly walking towards them, surrounding a large crystal tank.
The shark man Jig was the leader, looking ferocious, staring at the crowd around him.
In the crystal tank, the figure of the mermaid princess is vaguely visible, swimming slowly. The crystal tank is made of special material and is not transparent.
A pair of eyes painted with light-colored eyeshadow appeared on the water surface, revealing a charming look. The water in the tank ripples, unable to stop the charm it exudes.
"Olivia! Olivia!"
The cheers were thunderous.
The mermaid princess's name is Olivia. Listening to the cheers that almost burst your eardrums, you can tell how popular she is.
A metal stage rose up around the crystal tank, and the entire dock went dark. The suspended lamp posts lit up, and all the light focused on the crystal tank, making it shine brightly like a diamond.
On the huge stage, only where she was was lit, and everywhere else was dark. However, just standing there, there was a special aura, and the whole audience fell silent.
The first voice floated out of Olivia's mouth, ethereal and pure, like the sound of nature, penetrating through racial boundaries and pouring into everyone's mind.
Before the performance, everyone took off their translators, not wanting to hinder their enjoyment of the pure sound. Even if they didn't understand the lyrics, they could understand the meaning.
As she sang, the light on the stage began to spread. At the highest note, the light suddenly covered the entire stage, and the projected beam of light shot out into the depths of the universe.
A tremor that came from the heart rushed into the brain along the invisible bridge.
Li Yu's eyes flashed. He actually hid his mental power in his singing. No wonder it could arouse the resonance of creatures of all races and soothe the anger in their hearts.
Such a huge mental power...this mermaid princess seems a little abnormal.
There was thunderous applause. Max looked excited, Edwin was also a little moved, and Bart's eyes were slightly red, and I don't know what he was thinking about.
Only Li Yu did not react at all. It might be that the [Power of the Scepter] prevented him from being affected by the singing.
Although this impact is positive... maybe not... no one can say for sure.
After the impromptu performance, Vettel's leader had a friendly exchange with the mermaid princess, and then everyone, under the escort of the surrounding soldiers, began to return to greet the spacecraft.
However, when passing the road where Li Yu was, Olivia suddenly asked the guards to stop, slowly turned her head, her eyes penetrated the crowd, accurately locked onto Li Yu, and the next moment, she walked straight over.
The crowd immediately became excited and wanted to rush forward to touch the idol. The soldier tried to stop the crowd, almost causing a stampede. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Olivia, please don't come close. It's not safe here."
Each of her fish-man guards exuded a tyrannical aura. They looked around vigilantly and suggested, "Princess, you'd better not move around easily. It's best to walk along the planned route."
"It's okay," Olivia said, "I believe everyone won't hurt me."
The voice was gentle, extremely pleasant, and as pure as water. Those who heard it felt calm. The commotion in the crowd miraculously stopped, and the Guards walked into the crowd.
The crowd spontaneously made way for a path.
Finally, the Guards stopped in front of Li Yu. Olivia stuck her head out and said softly under the attention of everyone: "Hello, would you please follow me?"
"hiss--"
The sounds of people gasping for breath came one after another, and the people around cast disbelief, envy and jealous looks at them.
The people who were crowded around the few people hurriedly stepped back, making them isolated and extremely conspicuous.
"Who are these guys and what is their relationship with the princess?"
"Why did you pick him?"
"What a lucky guy, damn, why not me..."
Li Yu remained calm and nodded, "Okay."
When the shark man Jig saw Edwin with a paralyzed face, he instantly knew who they were and immediately stopped them, saying, "Princess, they are..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Olivia, who said softly, "It's okay, Kiger. I know."
Jiger snorted coldly and stared at several people viciously, but he didn't say anything else in public.
"plz follow me."
Olivia turned around, and Li Yu and others followed her, trailing behind the team. Max looked a little excited, and his smart terminal was flashing wildly to take pictures.
Vettel's Archon stayed on Max and Edwin for a moment, his eyes flashing sharply, as if he understood something.
After walking through the passage and boarding the welcoming spacecraft, Max still didn't understand what was happening. When he came to his senses, he asked Li Yu in amazement: "How did you do that?!"
"Guess." Li Yu stared at Olivia's crystal jar without looking away.
"I thought you were bragging." Max didn't expect that they were really invited just as Li Yu said.
Max guessed, "Could it be that Klein has already informed the mermaid princess, so she recognized you?"
"Isn't it because of my handsomeness that cannot be concealed?" Li Yu asked back.
The real reason was naturally related to Klein. When she told Li Yu about this, she gave him a colorful scale, which was the scale of the mermaid princess.
As long as he is within a certain range, the mermaid princess can sense it and lock onto him.
The Mermaid Princess and Klein probably already knew about the dissatisfaction of the Guards, so Klein gave Li Yu this token to avoid being cut off from the Mermaid Princess and to prove his identity.
The welcoming spacecraft did not return to the main planet immediately, but instead circled the main planet, projecting a huge projection of Olivia.
This ritual had actually been performed once before, but Olivia was attacked afterwards.
In order to express the apology of the Vitel Galaxy, another welcoming ceremony was held.
While welcoming the spaceship, Li Yu and his companions stayed in the lounge. Several ferocious fishmen around them stared at them and licked their lips from time to time.
Max was very excited and said to Li Yu: "You know, that blue-striped fish hunter looks ferocious and has jagged teeth, but he is actually a vegetarian."
"Isn't it a big contrast? He is called Lanlan by Olivia's fans, and the other one has scars all over his body, so his nickname is Scar Girl..."
Li Yu had a blank expression on his face and was too lazy to pay attention to Max.
Not long after, Olivia arrived here, wearing special armor, like a normal humanoid creature, and singing in the crystal tank was just a performance.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The Archons have apologized many times for the previous attack, even though I have said I don't mind." Her voice was soft, and when she opened her mouth, her jagged teeth could be clearly seen.
The eyes are so pure that people dare not look directly into them, as if they can see one's own heart through them.
Olivia's upper body is human-like, and her appearance is close to the aesthetic of interstellar humans. She is exquisite and beautiful, not inferior to Klein, and even slightly better.
"It's okay..." Li Yu shook his head. He didn't mind and looked at the other person with interest. This was the second mermaid he had seen with his own eyes.
The noble colorful scales on the lower body were covered by armor, and the hair was slightly curled and spread down the back.
Jiger snorted coldly, his eyes fierce, obviously dissatisfied with Li Yu's look.
Olivia looked at him, no emotion visible in her eyes. After a moment, Li Yu blinked. What was wrong with this mermaid? She didn't say anything, just looked at him.
“Fuck, this guy actually stared at Olivia for more than a minute, how is it possible!?”
Max was shocked, and Edwin was also a little surprised.
It is said that the mermaid's eyes can allow people to see their darkest and most cowardly hearts, and almost no one can look directly into them for more than a minute.
Could it be that the rumor was false? Max was a little unbelievable, and he also leaned forward to stare into Olivia's eyes, and suddenly he was a little dazed.
He seemed to see himself taking great risks to command the ghost fleet deep into the no-man's land. He knew that with his father there, he would definitely not be killed, and using him in exchange for benefits was the best option.
So he knew that he was not afraid of death, but the soldiers under his command subconsciously ignored it, or were blinded by their achievements and were unwilling to care.
If it had succeeded at that time, Li Yu would not have been in trouble, because the evidence he had would have been enough to prove the origin of the virus.
He subconsciously looked away, not daring to look any further.
