The tyrant of the sea, whose name I don’t know, is a being who has continued to rule so brilliantly that he is called the wise king of mermaids.

“…The mermaid must be the owner of that huge underwater kingdom that is visible to everyone.”

A being who, with the body of a mermaid, created a powerful country that was able to remain intact even during a time when there were many strong people.

Mermaids are mediocre and weak beings who do not reproduce well, nor do they have strong individual strength, but they created a powerful nation out of these people.

I was curious about how strong it was.

“I will give everyone the power to breathe underwater.”

It gave him the power to breathe comfortably even under water.

Then, we all transformed into mermaids and entered the kingdom.

“Hey, this is my first time seeing you… Are you a mermaid from the later generation?”

I’m glad I got to skin Descartes.

If it weren’t for the mermaid’s lower body and the lich’s upper body… it would have been quite scary.

“Yes, that’s right. The great King himself came all the way to the sea, so shouldn’t we also honor him as much as possible?”

“Hahaha! Of all the people I’ve seen in the past, this is the one I like the most! Follow me!”

They really built a kingdom on the sea.

I felt it before when I entered the tower and when I was in the library, but did Damian seal the realm of that entity itself?

Considering that it is so full of ancient mermaids and the kingdom appears to be in good condition… I guess so.

“Recently, those guys ran into the Heomutap again and it will take some time to be restored, but this is the glory of us mermaids!”

A gorgeous and huge royal castle.

Although there were some parts that had collapsed, it still had the appearance of an almost complete kingdom.

The huge kingdom sparkling under the sea was more vibrant than expected, but it also openly showed an atmosphere of considerable dependence on the king.

A huge statue, and people who follow it like fanatics, almost to the point of religion.

If you were to ask whether this was the right atmosphere in the country, the answer would be no, but it was also a fairly good atmosphere.

At least, completely different from the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere of a dying country, this place had a lively and hopeful atmosphere even if it depended on someone.

“Well, the reason why those guys can’t invade us is probably because we are the greatest mermaids. Our king protects us, so what has there to be afraid of?”

He told exaggerated and absurd stories of heroism, but it seemed that the children were more concerned about other things than those things.

“It’s a shame that the durability is so bad that it collapses with just a few magic touches. Was everything in the past glorious?”

“Hmm… given the structure of this place, it would be easy to sneak in. Perhaps they take it for granted that humans cannot breathe underwater, but the structure makes it very easy to assassinate.”

Each person speaks quietly about their inner thoughts.

It was fortunate that the words were so small that he could not hear them as he was talking about the king’s epic story with great excitement.

“That looks delicious! What is that?”

“As expected, the little boy appreciates its true value. That thing was made from the meat of a dragon under the guise of being the king of the sea.”

Actually, maybe dragons are more common than you think.

Whatever you do, you’re being hunted.

In fact, they weren’t a high-ranking race, but maybe they were weaker than we thought.

Those random thoughts passed through my mind, but since Adele next to me was gradually gathering strength, I was forced to calm her down.

“Adele, let’s have a cup of tea later, and just calm down for now. I’ll give you another chance later.”

“…Okay. Instead, you must keep your promise.”

“Yes, make sure to keep it.”

Adele spoke quietly in a voice full of anger.

I knew that she was trying hard to hide the burning desire for revenge against her people, so I decided to give her a clear opportunity for revenge.

First, I looked into this place a little more.

“As they were an uncivilized race, they were killed and the king distributed them without discrimination so that even the most insignificant and lowly mermaids could enjoy the feast. How wonderful!”

Perhaps he was oblivious, or just stupid, but he could not recognize Adele’s ferocious energy that was shaking in front of him at all.

First of all, in my opinion, you will probably die the most cruelly among these people.

That’s probably why they’re talking so stupidly.

“There are a lot of houses left, so if you go over there and apply, you will be assigned one of the houses left today. Then, good luck, big family!”

It’s a big family.

…First of all, the one with the oldest appearance is Descartes… No, he calls me father.

What on earth did he see about us that made him think we were a big family?

Well, if you think about the fact that in the end we are gathered together through faith and faith, it is not completely wrong.

In fact, it’s no different from family.

Since we are always in the same place, depending on each other’s roles, sometimes we trust each other, sometimes we act together, and we always sit together and eat together… we may be right family members.

“I guess that person is in charge of administration.”

“When I asked others, they said that there is a relic of mermaids there. It is said that there is no blood or tears.”

“I see.”

The prime minister.

She is such an outstanding mermaid that she wears the title of chancellor, which is a title given to those who hold positions in charge of administration and politics.

Not only did they depend solely on the king, but the outstanding king also seemed to have gathered other outstanding mermaids to form a group.

It’s too much of a king to say that, and it has the support of a lot of people, but it’s none of my business how this place works.

The most important thing is that the king who ultimately rules this place must have had some connection with Damian and decides whether he will come to our side or die.

The ones that didn’t die were Heomtap and the Library, but in the case of the Library, we felt reluctant to kill it, and Heistap… didn’t have that much of an impact on us, so we left it alone.

I don’t know why, but at least he’s a magic tower lord. I thought I needed to talk to him more.

“First of all, my father’s number one goal would be to meet him. However, it’s strange. My father said before that it seems like all those who have been released from the seal are related to him.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“However, the evil god religion had strangely no connection with the sea. Although they roamed the land, they had never been to the sea. Since they could not breathe in the sea, they had no intention of going deep into the sea. “I mean.”

“Hmm, that’s a bit strange.”

“So, I think there’s a high possibility that this place doesn’t have much to do with my father, but excluding this place, there’s a high possibility that almost everything is related… No, beyond that, it would be correct to say that everything is related.”

I don’t know about the people on the mountain because I haven’t met them in person, but Descartes said that in his own judgment, they are closely related to me.

If you think about it, my analogy might not be completely wrong… Oh, of course, I still don’t know the connection between Damian and the scorpion.

“Hmm…of course it would be nice if I could hear what happened before I came, but…the only one who can say that is under a much more severe ban than I am right now, so he can’t say anything.”

…number of animals.

Yes, Marie may be able to talk about the being who came to the evil religion faster than Descartes, but the prohibition on her is much greater.

…Anyway, how long has this kingdom lasted?

“Father, I think you need to practice more at managing your facial expressions. Unfortunately, the history of the kingdom is with me. Rather, it may have something to do with the ancestors of the king who currently rules this kingdom.”

It may have something to do with parents or others.

Certainly, what Descartes said was also correct.

“By the way, Abel, you found a house quickly.”

“…They said I was a patriot and they picked me up right away. I never thought that people called mermaids would have a low birth rate.”

Abel quickly obtained the house documents while Descartes and I were talking.

Fortunately, I received the house documents quickly… No, the government manages all the houses in the first place and distributes them differentially according to the people coming and the number of family members.

This is how it works here.

“First of all, since I received the mansion… can I kill everyone?”

“…Not yet.”

At least we should have a conversation and decide whether to kill him or not.

Of course, it is certain that it is difficult for an individual to meet the king.

However, Descartes had a way to make it possible.

“As you heard earlier, there is always a shortage of people here. The mermaids themselves are a very small population, and at the same time, they are a rare species that is not born often. So, if we are known to be a large family, of course we have no choice but to report to the king. It will be.”

“But that doesn’t mean you can meet the king…”

“No. Mermaids, like harpies, are quite unique in that they feel a great affinity towards their own species. That is why, even though we may be assassins or terrorists, we were able to find a home in this kingdom so quickly.”

It looked as large and numerous as a kingdom, but behind the scenes the population was constantly decreasing.

Due to the nature of the race, it was not a kingdom that could last long.

“Approximately, the number of mermaids in this kingdom is around 2 million because they can feel the energy. All the mermaids of ancient times gathered together are only 2 million. That is also decreasing….”

“A large family like this is absolutely rare.”

“So, there will be a lot of support. For example, it will be easier to get into government positions, so other mermaids will want to have more children.”

In short, it was easier for us to get a place than others.

“The ones who will enter the castle are my father, me, Marie, and Abel. These four people, and I think Caesar and Veronica will be the ones applying as knights. The remaining ones will also not just stay here, but find a business and gather and manage information. Let’s do it.”

Somehow, when I saw Descartes, the image of Abel passed by.

I just thought that this might be what Abel would look like later as he gained more experience.

Now that I’m older, all kinds of strange thoughts come to mind.

“Now then, let’s slowly go in from the inside.”

A month passed like that.
