nLost Atlantis 10
nFortunately, Xie Xi placed Roast Pork Bun in stealth in the quasi-world. If people heard what he said…
nXie Xi would really be his father and killed by him.
nThe sixth prince was still watching him. Xie Xi finally reacted and bowed. “I have seen Your Highness.”
nHe had previously used Sein Hall on the sixth prince so he had to carry it through to the end without being exposed.
n“I’ve only recently arrived and don’t know many people. I don’t know who Sein Hall is.” Xie Xi kept his head down and tried not to look at the sixth prince.
nThe sixth prince lived in a simple manner and had little contact with people. He didn’t want to alarm many people and said, “He is also a guard here. If you see him, help me give him a message. Tell him to come see me if he has time.”
nXie Xi replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”
nThe sixth prince left and Xie Xi was relieved. He had enough trouble dealing with the sixth prince alone and now he had to use three identities to face six people…
nIt was like walking a tightrope. It wasn’t easy for a person to walk on a wire. Now he had to walk back and forth on six steel wires!
nXie Xi went back to his place, locked the door and turned off the Camouflage technique.
nHe didn’t panic and lightly stroked his face.
nHis real skin: Sein Hall, corresponding to the fifth prince and sixth prince.
nThe second face: Colin Hall, corresponding to the second prince and third prince.
nThe first face: Jesse Hall, temporarily assigned to the eldest prince and fourth prince.
nXie Xi repeated it several times to ensure he would remember. Then he recorded the progress of the task.
nA 100% progress bar meant the task was completed. There were six people at the moment. On average, each person was 16.6666%… why couldn’t it be a constant number?
nXie Xi thought about it. Perhaps it might be a good thing that it wasn’t constant? If it wasn’t evenly divided, perhaps he could focus on one person and collect as much love as possible? Then he would collect the rest from the remaining people. This seemed much simpler.
nFor example, the fifth prince was easy and he could coax 60% love from him. Then the remaining 40% would be the other princes since the task was collecting the love of the six princes. The difficulty between 1% and 60% was quite different.
nFor the crazy second prince, getting 1% instead of 60% was much simpler.
nCould he really do this? Xie Xi was deeply skeptical.
nJiang Xie watched Xie Xi, who was biting the pen while seriously thinking, and felt worried. He was worried that his goodwill would drop after Xie Xi knew the truth.
nThe number was already terrible. If Yan Zhe knew then he would most probably say that there was no chance in heaven and earth.
nThis task certainly wasn’t that simple. It was 16.6666% for each colour. This represented the love of a single soul because love was endless, so the number was endless.
nSince all love couldn’t exceed this percentage, there was no way to collect 60% from a single prince.
nXie Xi put away the small book and decided to go to the sixth prince first.
nThe sixth prince came to him specifically so there might be something urgent.
nThis was also a preference. Compared to the slag third prince and temperamental second prince, the ‘simple’ fifth and sixth prince were much lovelier.
nTime was life. Xie Xi immediately went to the palace of the sixth prince.
nOnce the sixth prince saw him, the dark eyes lit up.
nRoast Pork Bun sang his praises. “Ahhh, the second most handsome person under the sea!” Don’t ask who the first one was. There were only two beings with different coloured eyes under the sea.
nXie Xi bowed and the sixth prince helped him up.
n“Is there anything I can do for Your Highness?”
nThe sixth prince paused and said, “There is something I wanted to tell you.”
nXie Xi glanced at the active progress bar and was happy to spend time with the sixth prince. “Your Highness, please speak.”
nThe sixth prince hesitated before finally saying, “Tomorrow, I’m going up to the land.”
nXie Xi was startled. The land?
nThe sixth prince continued, “Thus, I wanted to have a word with you.”
nXie Xi was tense and he asked, “How long will you be gone?” If he was gone for a few months, wouldn’t it be impossible to complete the task?
nHis nervous appearance made the sixth prince relax, saying gently, “It isn’t too long. Three or four days at the most.”
nXie Xie Xi spoke in a relieved manner, “I thought you would be gone for a long time.”
nThe sixth prince’s eyes flashed. “No.”
nXie Xi was somewhat puzzled. If it was just three or four days, why specifically tell Xie Xi? Of course, he couldn’t ask this. The sixth prince was pitiful and probably had no friends. Was this why he paid extra attention to a person who was good to him?
nXie Xi felt a bit ashamed when he had this thought.
n“This subordinate…” He wanted to say something about when the prince came back, only to suddenly stop.
nThere was a green light flashing on the jade table next to him. If Xie Xi wasn’t mistaken, this was a save point.
nThe sixth prince noticed his pause. “What’s wrong?”
n“It’s nothing.”
nThe sixth prince felt doubtful but didn’t ask.
nXie Xi moved quickly and chose to save. His heart was beating quickly and he had a bad feeling. Why was there a save point? Was there going to be an important event next?
nThe last save point helped get him into the palace. What was it this time?
nXie Xi couldn’t figure it out for the moment and it wasn’t good to snub the sixth prince. He pushed away the thoughts and asked, “When will Your Highness leave?”
nThe sixth prince answered, “Tomorrow morning.”
nXie Xi sincerely told him, “This subordinate will be waiting for you to come back.”
nThe sixth prince laughed in a light manner that inexplicably made a person feel sad. “Yes.”
nXie Xi was comforted as he looked at the 7% progress bar.
nThe sixth prince asked, “Do you still have errands to run? Go ahead.”
nXie Xi hadn’t finished giving out the gifts and didn’t dare delay. He left with a bow.
nXie Xi’s heart wasn’t comfortable. This save point made him uneasy. A save point wouldn’t appear unless there was an important decision.
nDid he make the right choice? He didn’t know.
nXie Xi changed his face and went to give the gift to the elder prince. However, he didn’t see anyone. The eldest prince was busy and working overtime. Xie Xi turned and went to the palace of the fourth prince. The fourth prince was the only one with a legitimate reason to not see any guests.
nHe was ill. He could say no if the king’s personal attendant came, let along a small guard.
nXie Xi was slightly sorry but he wasn’t in a hurry. There was no need to test anything. The six people had already been assigned to the three faces. Now it was just creating opportunities to approach them.
nHe was really tired from this day and fell asleep.
nHe had a dream. In this dream, he became a small fish and was chased by six big sharks. He swam desperately and was finally torn into six servings for the sharks.
nXie Xi woke up and smiled bitterly. How was it a dream? This was reality!
nToday he wasn’t very busy. He didn’t try to pick up a fish and instead perfected the information of the other two faces. Camouflage was a big bug and he could do many things. He naturally had to make good use of it.
nFirst of all, he used it to become the steward of the palace and recorded the first and second faces into the register of palace guards.
nFortunately, this was a technologically advanced underwater world. The authority was verified with fingerprints and the iris and Xie Xi could easily pass.
nAfter changing the register, he arranged a proper family background for his three faces by entering the household registration management department. Xie Xi also used this opportunity to find out a lot of prince-related information and was ready to go back and study it slowly.
nThis was a squandered day but Xie Xi felt it was worthwhile. After all, he needed to hone the blade to cut the wood.
nThe next day, a maid came to find him. “Mr. Hall, there is a request from His Highness.”
nXie Xi, “…”
nFor a moment, he couldn’t tell which face he had on. Miss Mermaid, couldn’t she call his name and mention which prince?
nFortunately, Roast Pork Bun was taught and knew some things. He shouted, “Sein, Daddy is now Sein Hall!”
nXie Xi was relieved to know which prince sent the maid.
nThe sixth prince didn’t have a maid, not to mention that he had gone up to land. This could only be the maid of the fifth prince.
nXie Xi followed after the maid.
nThe fifth prince was waiting and greeted him. “Sein, come here.”
nXie Xi was pulled by the fifth prince before he could react.
nThe fifth prince was wearing rare formal attire. The uniform outlined his figure very well and his long legs could make a mermaid die from envy. After being a fish for a long time, Xie Xi really missed the taste of Earth.
nThe fifth prince noticed his gaze and asked, “Do you like my legs?”
nXie Xi, “…”
nThe fifth prince bent over and whispered, “In fact, my tail is also beautiful. If there is a chance, I will show you.”
nXie Xi, “!” Why did he feel so weird?
nThe fifth prince laughed. “Small Sein, you are so cute.”
nXie Xi glanced at the rising orange bar and said, “Your Highness, please don’t… tease this subordinate.”
nThe fifth prince held his hand. “I’m not teasing you, I’m looking at you.”
nXie Xi felt the heat from his palm and felt… wasn’t this progress a bit too fast after a few days? He would be even more surprised if he knew that 16.6666…% was the fullest possible value.
nThe fifth prince’s progress bar had already reached 13%. This was also after some progress had been lost!
nXie Xi didn’t say anything. The fifth prince thought he was shy and stopped teasing him. “Let’s go, I will take you to a concert.”
nXie Xi was surprised. “A concert?”
n“Yes. It is a song I wrote. I’m sure you will like it.”
nXie Xi didn’t hate it. The fifth prince was versatile and just casually fiddling with the strings created a heavenly sound. The song that the prince wrote… Xie Xi was looking forward to it a bit.
nThe underwater kingdom also had ‘cars’. Of course, they were called airships instead of cars.
nAfter all, there was no need for a highway under the sea. The vehicle shot out with a loud sound. A mermaid’s speed wasn’t slow, certainly not slower than an airship. However, a fast speed would consume physical strength. This was an enjoyable means of transportation so who would willingly swim?
nThere was no need to mention the grandeur of the fifth prince. Xie Xi might not understand the technology but he could see how luxurious his transportation vehicle was. It was estimated to be superior to two Rolls-Royce on land.
nThe fifth prince treated Xie Xi so well that he was slightly ashamed. He might be forced by the task and wasn’t doing this willingly, but he was still deceiving the fifth prince.
nIf the soul was like the second prince then he wouldn’t care. However, the silly fifth prince was really…
nThe fifth prince asked him, “Is it delicious?”
nXie Xi swallowed the pastry in his mouth and nodded. “It is delicious.”
n“I will ask them to prepare more for you.”
n“No, I have…”
nThe fifth prince told him, “You are too small. You should move out and come to my palace.”
nHow could Xie Xi dare do that? He frowned. “Your Highness, please give me some time. I can arrange my own life.”
nThe fifth prince didn’t force him. “Okay, don’t be angry. I will leave it to you.”
nXie Xi felt more and more guilty.
nThey had just arrived at the concert hall and hadn’t walked in yet when the fifth prince’s communicator rang.
nIt was very sharp and especially shrill, like it was some type of alarm. The fifth prince frowned and quickly pulled out the communicator. He glanced at it and froze.
nAt the same time, a huge screen was projected in the screen, the square clearly visible.
nThe third prince dressed in military attire appeared. His posture was majestic and there was a deep look in his eyes. The words from his mouth blasted the entire sea bed.
n“Sixth Prince Sirius Atlantis went up to the land and was brutally killed! How can we so back when the land people are so cruel and insolent?”
nXie Xi was stunned. What? The sixth prince was dead?
n
