The startled little kraken finally left the traffic pipe with Sakira coaxed and frightened, and when she left, she didn't forget to grab Doudou curiously and look at it for a long time: she had never seen such a small "kind" in her life, and probably her worldview was greatly impacted.Hao Ren didn't know anything else, but he knew that this trip to Nasatone had a more in-depth understanding of the "Kraken" race......
Soon, they arrived in the royal quarter, located in the center of Nasaton.What appeared in front of Hao Ren's eyes was a complex of buildings that had not yet been repaired.It used to be home to the Grand Siren Queen's Grand Palace, but in the crisis a few months ago, the palace was so damaged by the aftermath of the battle between the people and the Brain Monsters that the main part of it was almost razed to the ground, and most of the surrounding towers collapsed in the explosion.Such a huge damage could not be rebuilt in a short period of time, and the Krakens today do not have so many large machines and construction techniques back then, so they just restored the temporary structure of the palace as much as possible to serve as the queen's residence and government.
Government office space.The domed halls in the large open space looked very shabby compared to the previous palace, but it was precisely because many of the building ruins were emptied, leaving a large open space here, which is now a new meeting center, and you can see groups of krakens roaming here - here Hao Ren finally saw a few krakens who remained human, and his eyes were not continued to be tormented by those fighting skin shrimp, giant sea crabs, and deep sea ooze monsters......
Shakira led Hao Ren and his party to the gate of the temporary palace.Fortunately, the krakens in the palace have not completely dropped their chains, and the battle maids guarding at the door still maintain the appearance of snake girls, and these heroic battle maids with tridents in their hands know Hao Ren - because they were all beaten by Hao Ren and his gang in the first place - they immediately swam over happily to say hello, and the two guards ran to inform the personnel inside.Hao Ren followed Shakira into the palace, but as soon as he entered, he found that the krakens in the palace were actually not that strong......
In addition to the krakens who have to stand guard at various posts still maintain their human appearance, there is also a battle of demons dancing wildly.The pippy shrimp and sea crabs running around with all the momentum can be explained, which is more or less the battle form of the kraken, but the buckets and sea urchins rolling around on the ground can only be explained by the fact that the queen's guards are also bored.Hao Ren even saw a huge anchor majestically "walking" in the palace corridors, and he was dumbfounded, and Shakira kindly explained: "......
This is the anchor of the Titanic, originally she was going to change a whole Titanic, but later found that the palace could not hold ......"
At this time, the anchor had jumped in front of Hao Ren, and this piece of "steel" shook in place, and suddenly became another acquaintance: Soma.It's also the Kraken I met in the last incident......
"Ah, Hao Ren, long time no see!"
”Soma greeted Hao Ren happily, and solemnly introduced his current situation, "I am now the queen's guard, and the queen is inside, but she is too busy to come out of the banquet, so let me take you over." ”Hao Ren followed Soma in confusion, and only when he reached a hall did he know what the other party was talking about "banquet", it turned out that there were also small celebrations here, and various humanoid and non-human krakens (most of them should be nobles and officials) happily held parties here.Nangong May stretched her neck and looked around looking for the Siren Queen, but she didn't find it for a long time: "Where is the Queen?"
Also deformed?
”Soma pointed to a corner of the venue: "There it is!"
She's coming!
”Hao Ren looked in the direction of the other party's finger, and even in the water, his cold sweat still flowed immediately: because he suddenly saw a torpedo rushing towards him like this!"
I'll strain you!"
Lilyd's frightened dialect popped out, "There's a torpedo!"
”As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, the torpedo had already stopped firmly in front of Hao Ren, and then swayed on the spot and exploded into a mist, and out of the mist came the figure of the Siren Queen Caterina.The Siren Queen was also startled by Lily, and shouted after her: "Where is it, where is the torpedo?!"
”"Didn't you just be!"
Hao Ren's cold sweat finally went down a little, and then he came out again, "You're too deformed, right!?"
”"Oh, I mean," Catrina reacted, smiling and wagging her long snake's tail, "the queen always has to be a little different, and I want to be more creative than others." ”Hao Ren was speechless: "......"
"It's been a long time," Katrina didn't feel anything wrong at all, she just smiled gently and dignifiedly, and her eyes stayed on Hao Ren and his party one by one, "Elsa has been here twice during this time. ”Hao Ren looked at this Siren Queen with a strange expression, it was not that there was anything abnormal about the other party's current state, on the contrary, but it was too normal: Her Majesty became dignified and elegant in the blink of an eye, and her speech and demeanor were full of temperament and momentum, you couldn't imagine that she had turned herself into a torpedo to scare people a minute ago......
No one is so varied, right?
There was a sentence in his mind that sparked in his heart: the Kraken was indeed made of water......
At this moment, Catrina saw that Hao Ren was silent, so she took the initiative to speak: "You guys came over like this, there should be something big, right?"
”"Oh yes, we're here for business," Hao Ren reacted and patted his head, "As soon as I came over, I almost confused me when I met your unprecedented special festival......
Can you find a quieter place to talk?
”Caterina nodded, "Follow me." ”Hao Ren followed the Sea Demon Queen, but he soon noticed that Lily's eyes were always looking around, and Doudou next to him was also excitedly circling in circles, so he waved his hand to the others: "If you are not interested, just play outside, don't make trouble." ”As soon as he said this, everyone except Vivien disappeared - and sure enough, they were not happy to go to the meeting......
The Nangong family of four ran to communicate with the kraken, Lily ran to find and see what could be added to her "Wang's Treasure", rolling happily floating in this paradise filled with the smell of fish, the whole cat seemed to smell the catnip spirit, and the little mermaid Doudou scurried around the entire hall like a happy bullet, as if returning to his hometown.Seeing this situation, Hao Ren greeted Nangong May from afar: "May!
Help take care of Doudou and don't let her get lost!
”Then he turned to Vivien, "Aren't you going with you?"
”Vivien rolled her eyes: "You are prone to brain short-circuits when you speak, I'll go to the town with you." ”Hao Ren was speechless again: "......"
The three of them came to a rest room next to the hall, and Caterina saw Hao Ren's serious expression on his face, so she withdrew all the maids and guards here, and then asked, "What happened?"
”"It's related to your home planet," Hao Ren nodded, "Well, don't be nervous, there's nothing wrong with your planet, it's a bunch of unlucky exiles who are in trouble - I saved another group of people a while ago......"
At that moment, Hao Ren told Katrina what happened on the dream plane, and hid the overly complicated background and the situation about the artifact.The Siren Queen listened attentively, asking only a few occasional questions in between—she seemed interested in the form and principles of the Arks of Exile.After Hao Ren finished speaking, she blinked: "In other words, there is a group of aliens, they have also suffered ecological disasters and fled their homes like us, and then their Ark of Exile is now running out of ammunition and must find a planet to dock, and the Siren Mother Star Io is the most suitable place for them to land in your knowledge?"
”"To be honest, I can find alternatives if I have to look for them, my drone swarm has found some planets that can barely allow them to survive, but those planets are either contaminated with source blood or have a bad environment, and the Ark will lose a lot of people if it barely lands there," Hao Ren looked into Caterina's eyes, "Io is the only planet that can be inhabited by them without any modifications, and my drone swarm can shelter that place." ”Caterina frowned and pondered.
