Chapter 3592
The First Heir
âDo you think itâs cruel to trade with merfolkâs hearts?â the princess asked.
George just nodded without speaking.
The princess suddenly ripped apart the covering on her chest. A shocking wound was displayed on her
chest.
âIn fact, merpeople have two hearts.â
Seeing the princessâs actions, George felt a little embarrassed because she was a mermaid, after all.
Showing her wound openly in front of him just like that made George a little embarrassed. However,
she seemed unconcerned.
Seeing Georgeâs expression, she simply said, âWe merfolk donât have as much etiquette as humans,
so you donât 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.â
âProtect their last piece of homeland?â
âDid that mean that all the merpeople used to have two hearts, but they had to give up one of them for
some special reason?â
âWhy did all of you lose a heart?â George puzzled for a while before asked.
The princess replied, âThe 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.â
George finally realized why Zagu, the merman from before, was so resentful upon seeing him.
âBecause 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.â
As the two chatted, the princess took out a dust-covered stone. This stone was shaped like a book, but
its contents were blurred.
George took the stone. Although this thing was covered in dust, as long as he infused some energy in
it, he could see the content. This was also a trick commonly used by most magic devices.
George 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.]
George 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 he owned the black turtle shell, he would naturally be regarded
as the savior by the people of this country.
George stopped infusing his energy and returned the stone book to the princess.
Frank said, âPrincess, itâs not that I donât want to help you, but I really donât know howâ¦â
George shook his head and said wryly.
His actions made the princessâ expression change rapidly.
There was shock, surprise, anticipation, and hope.
Various emotions added to the princessâ expression.
âYou 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.â
