Chapter 3587
The First Heir
The professor walked between the two and wrapped his tentacles around their arms. With the
professorâs slight movement, the two were separated.
âKiddo, youâd better not leave the professors room or Iâll definitely tear you to pieces.â The vicious
merman glanced at the professor and swam out.
His thick fishtail left a puddle of water on the floor.
As Richard was ready to fight that vicious merman just now, the communicatorâs projection on his arm
disappeared.
The professor smiled and said to Josef, âDonât mind him. Zagu is like that. He lost his family because of
human invasion many years ago.â
âHuman invasion?â Richard frowned.
That meant that many years ago, human beings had come into contact with the merfolk kingdom.
Did that mean that this method of liquefying energy had long been introduced into the human world?
However, he had never seen something like that on the market.
The octopus professor suddenly said, âWell, let me take you for a walk on my small island, and we can
talk about your human technology.â
Richard nodded. He was not afraid that the merfolk would learn human technology.
As the most cutting-edge technology was controlled by each country or each royal family, the
information that could be searched by using the communicator came from many years ago.
Before leaving, the professorâs two tentacles twitched, and a bubble appeared and enveloped Richard.
âDonât be afraid. I just came up with this method because you donât like soaking in water,â The
professor explained to Richard with a smile like a respected elder.
Richard smiled and indicated that he was not afraid.
He asked, âProfessor, how do you practice? Even the guards have a seven-star levelâ¦â
Hearing Richardâs question, the professor was certain this was Richardâs first time coming to this
underwater world.
He said with a smile, âWeâre different from humans. Underwater creatures like me that can take on a
human form have lived in the water for hundreds of years. Once we develop our intelligence, our
practice speed will become faster. These powerful merpeople or underwater creatures you see have a
lifespan of almost a thousand years.â
Richard finally understood.
Although everything had a spirit, these merfolk or underwater creatures could live to this day due to an
accumulation of a long lifespan. Thus, their strength was also justifiable.
However, the professor sighed and said, âBut compared to you humans, weâre still too weak. We were
invaded many years ago. At that time, I thought that I could resist the invasion just by relying on my
strong practice level, but your human technology actually prevented us from absorbing the energy of
the underwater worldâ¦â
Needless to continue further, it must be because of that incident that the professor began to have a
strong interest in human technology.
At this time, a small fish swam up to the professor.
The octopus professor seemed to understand what the little fish was saying.
His face changed slightly as he said to Josef, âSomething has happened. I canât stay with you any
longer.â
Richard promptly expressed that the professor should take care of things first.
However, the moment the professor left, the vicious merman from before approached Richard.
âHuman, as I said before, as long as you come out, Iâll tear you to pieces.â
