Chapter 79 Entering the game
"Let him come."

A melodious sound, as sweet as heavenly music, came through the air.

The sea creature soldiers made way for them.

Mo Yu walked to the carriage.

The carriage door opened, and a maid emerged from behind the carriage, waiting respectfully to the side.

Herobella walked down slowly, her bare feet peeking out from under her skirt. If you looked closely, you could tell she was actually floating in the air, with a thin layer of water between her feet and the ground.

The sea creature soldiers also knelt down in droves. Only the merman knights, armed with weapons, formed a circle around Mo Yu. They would attack him if he made the slightest move.

Herobella said, "Human, you are not quite the same as these people."

"Of course, I'm very strong." Mo Yu shrugged, displaying a roguish air, playing the role of an arrogant wanderer, establishing the persona first to facilitate later operations and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Herobella nodded and said, "Squid, test his skills."

From the shadows of the carriage, the octopus-man warrior emerged, his expression revealing some confusion. He wasn't alone; the surrounding merman knights shared the same reaction.

Squid Shell was once the Empire's First Knight. Although he is old and his strength has plummeted, he is still a top-tier powerhouse. For Squid Shell to take action against mere humans is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

With a flash, the squid appeared in front of Mo Yu, its speed so fast it was like teleportation.

"Hey, wait a minute, I demand a substitution! I can't beat this one, I'm not playing!"

Mo Yu quickly called a halt, acting shamelessly and surrendering immediately when he couldn't win, to avoid getting beaten up.

Herobella covered her mouth and chuckled, "Squid, don't hurt him."

The squid-like human looked helpless and nodded in agreement. His octopus tentacles writhed back and forth as he spoke, "Human, attack me with all your might."

"That's what you said."

Mo Yu suddenly burst into laughter and launched an attack without warning, thrusting and drawing his sword.

Slay evil.

when!
Squid Shell pulled out a harpoon from somewhere, slashed down, and accurately smashed it into the Miao knife, sending him flying.

After spinning twice in the air, Mo Yu landed smoothly and sheathed her sword.

The surrounding sea creature soldiers then realized what was happening. Some of the weaker ones were still unaware of what had occurred. The merman knights' expressions changed drastically, their disdain turning into solemnity and tension.

Squid put away its harpoon and said in a calm voice:
"You are qualified."

He bowed to Herobella, then retreated into the shadows and disappeared.

The sea creature soldiers cried out in alarm.

After leaving the front lines, Squid Shell taught in the Royal Knights. Among the elite of the entire empire, very few people could gain his direct and honest recognition.

Herobella nodded and said, "Human, starting today, you can serve under me."

"Let's get this straight first, I want to eat and drink the best food I can get. I won't listen to anyone except you. And if anyone messes with me, I won't be polite..." Mo Yu stated his conditions in a grand and unrestrained manner.

They want status, privileges, and special treatment.

Herobella said, "If you offer your loyalty and demonstrate your value, I can appoint you as a Royal Guard Knight."

These words caused an uproar in the room, but then quickly returned to calm.

Mo Yu didn't know what a Royal Guard Knight was, but judging from the reactions of the surrounding sea creature soldiers and the envious looks in the merman knight's eyes, he was certain that this identity was not simple.

He stroked his chin and said, "Sounds good?"

Herobella explained, “My personal guards, who are always by my side, enjoy the highest level of treatment in the North Sea Empire.”

“Okay.” Mo Yu nodded.

Herobella said, "You may leave now. We will make arrangements for you after we return."

The selection ceremony began on site.

Mo Yu found a rooftop to sit on, holding his Miao sword as he watched.

Things went surprisingly smoothly.

Herobella is so easy to talk to.

He lay on his side on the roof, reviewing the intelligence again and checking for any overlooked details. The difference in treatment between surrendering voluntarily and being captured was significant; Herobella hadn't promised any conditions beforehand.

This is to be expected; rewarding strong individuals who voluntarily join forces is a positive incentive for these humans, and Herobella is using this as a strategy.

For now.

all the best.

As Mo Yu was lost in thought, a merman knight riding a manta ray floated over and shouted:
"Hey, human, it's time to leave."

"Oh."

Mo Yu jumped off the roof.

The moment he landed, he realized something was wrong.

I glanced at my watch.

One hour. No, no, no.

This timing is wrong!

I waited for 6 hours before.

What is a variable?
Was it because I acted too conspicuously that the other party felt there was no need to find anyone else, so they chose to leave early? Am I that important? Am I capable of interfering with Herobella's decision-making now?

suspicious.

This is highly suspicious.

Let's ask them.

Mo Yu has activated her sincerity mode.

After asking around, the merman knights all said they didn't know; no one dared to ask any further questions since it was the princess's order.

They couldn't get an answer from Herobella either.

This mermaid has a very tight mouth.

Mo Yu felt like a dog trying to bite a turtle, unable to find a starting point.

The convoy departed.

He was treated better this time, and was arranged to ride in a manta ray with a merman knight. He sat in the back and hugged the merman knight's strong body.

The muscle mass is very elastic.

Smooth skin.

As expected of marine life.

Mo Yu touched him while exclaiming, "Brother, how did you get such a great physique? It's amazing."

The merman knight felt a tightness in his anus.

He felt he had encountered a pervert.

Mo Yu continued, "It would be good to slice it into sashimi."

The merman knight felt a chill run down his spine.

It's worse than being a pervert.

Cold sweat beaded on the merman knight's forehead as he silently shooed away the manta rays without uttering a word.

Don't dare to move, don't dare to move at all.

The convoy headed to the other side of the island.

Inside a luxury carriage.

Herobella looked out the window, resting her chin on one hand, humming a lullaby. Her lower body transformed into a pink and blue gradient fishtail, swaying gently and rhythmically.

Inside the carriage was a little red-haired mermaid, dressed much more simply. Her name was Hena, Herobella's personal maid and playmate. Because they had grown up together, Hena knew Herobella's behavior very well. When she was in a good mood, she would sing this cheerful melody.

Haina said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. On your first attempt at selecting human slaves, you've managed to recruit such a strong human. You're sure to achieve great results in the tower challenge two months from now."

"Huh?... Oh right, I forgot, there's still the tower-climbing challenge in two months." Herobella muttered to herself thoughtfully, "Then he's very important, very important."

Haina asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, didn't you promise him the status of a royal guard knight so that he could climb the tower?"

Herobella gave a negative answer. She looked at Hena's questioning eyes, revealed a smug smile, and coughed, saying, "I really like ancient human language. It contains great wisdom."

Hena gave a helpless smile.

Every time Herobella says this, she starts spouting strange, ancient proverbs and sayings.

Helena Bella said, "The strategist enters the game himself, and with one move, he wins half a move against Heaven."

Hena remained silent.

Because Herobella would explain it herself: "This means that when you encounter a formidable enemy, you must also include yourself in the calculation in order to defeat him."

"Your Highness, is that what you mean?"

"Henna, are you doubting my research on ancient human languages?"

"But... Your Highness, there isn't a single word in that sentence that expresses the idea of ​​a natural enemy?"

“The character ‘sky’ represents threats from the sky, such as birds, the natural enemies of fish, and can also be used to refer to powerful enemies.”

"But birds are not the natural enemies of humans."

"Uh……"

Herobella's expression froze. She realized she had made a silly mistake and awkwardly turned her head to the side, saying, "Anyway, we two trusted each other and together brought a dangerous guy into the game."

Hena tilted her head, indicating that she didn't understand at all.

Since the princess secluded herself for three days two months ago, she seems like a completely different person. She can always guess what others are thinking, and it's as if you're naked in front of her, with nothing to hide. Moreover, she has started to act like the other princes and princesses, making her actions unpredictable and no longer as innocent and carefree as before.
