“Do you think it’s cruel to trade with merfolk’s hearts?” the princess asked.
Philip just nodded without speaking.
The princess suddenly ripped apart the covering on favonovel.com chest. A shocking wound was displayed on favonovel.com chest.
“In fact, merpeople have two hearts.”
Seeing the princess’s actions, Philip felt a little embarrassed because favonovel.com was a mermaid, after all.
Showing favonovel.com wound openly in front of favonovel.com just like that made Philip a little embarrassed. However, favonovel.com seemed unconcerned.
Seeing Philip’s expression, favonovel.com simply said, “We merfolk don’t have as much etiquette as humans, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed… Showing you my wound is to tell you that most merpeople have lost a heart just to protect our last piece of homeland.”
‘Protect their last piece of homeland?’
‘Did that mean that all the merpeople used to have two hearts, but they had to give up one of them for some special reason?’
“Why did all of you lose a heart?” Philip puzzled for a while before asked.
The princess replied, ”The humans discovered that the hearts of merpeople can be used as medicine to improve your practice, so some practitioners with ulterior motives attacked us under the guise of networking.”
Philip finally realized why Zagu, the merman from before, was so resentful upon seeing him.
“Because most of the merpeople have lost a heart, various water monsters in this underwater world are watching us. They have long coveted this ancient ruin.”
As the two chatted, the princess took out a dust-covered stone. This stone was shaped like a book, but its contents were blurred.
Philip took the stone. Although this thing was covered in dust, as long as favonovel.com infused some energy in it, favonovel.com could see the content. This was also a trick commonly used by most magic devices.
Philip poured his energy into it without hesitation.
Words appeared on the stone.
[In the year 1330 of the Merfolk Calendar, the merfolk kingdom faced a crisis. It was difficult to defend the ancient ruins, and the merfolk kingdom was lacking in manpower.]
[Only the one who wields the divine artifact can deter all other underwater creatures. If the chosen one joins the merfolk kingdom, they can turn the tides.]
Philip continued to read the text.
According to the second half, was the thing that could deter all other underwater creatures referring to the black turtle shell in his hand. Since favonovel.com owned the black turtle shell, favonovel.com would naturally be regarded as the savior by the people of this country.
Philip stopped infusing his energy and returned the stone book to the princess.
He said, “Princess, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really don’t know how…”
Philip shook his head and said wryly.
His actions made the princess’ expression change rapidly.
There was shock, surprise, anticipation, and hope.
Various emotions added to the princess’ expression.
“You can actually read the contents of the stone book without using the power of the blood… According to the historical records of the merfolk kingdom, only the descendant of the mighty being who left behind this stone book and the royal bloodline of the merfolk kingdom can read the content.”
