While the others were concentrating on finding the potion, Bai Chi collected all the shell plates. With the help of a sleight of hand, these people would not notice at all.
Afterwards, he went to see the place where the little prince had searched, and found that it was full of various fish skins.
Most of them were tied tightly and neatly with water grass, but some were untied and thrown all over the ground.
Bai Chi took a quick glance and suddenly understood.
"Then, little prince, you wouldn't think that these are scrolls or parchments with written records, right?"
But then he became puzzled again: "That's not right. The little prince is also a mermaid. How could he not know that there is no writing on the seabed? And there would be no written records?"
"Master, this little prince is very suspicious. He can't have forgotten all the common sense about the seabed after being in the human world for a few years, right?"
As he spoke, Xiao Hei played a video of a study in the human world. It was full of parchment scrolls that looked very similar to these fish skin scrolls.
However, the parchment scrolls were used to record precious documents, and these fish skins were just the many medicinal herbs collected by the original owner.
After all, he had lived for such a long time. Even if not many people came to him to exchange potions every year, the accumulated amount over the years was enough to fill up his small room.
Bai Chi withdrew his gaze from the picture and asked, "Can you find out what happened to the little prince ashore in the past few years?"
"Of course you can, but you can only find some information that others have said orally. After all, there is no surveillance in this world, and it is still a thing of the past."
"That's fine, just look for some rumors."
In just a few words, Bai Chi had already left the utility room. When he left, he deliberately dropped a black conch, which contained an ointment that could reattach broken limbs.
After walking about ten meters, I could still hear cheers coming from the utility room. I shook my head. This sea god had no brains at all.
There is only one wizard in the entire royal city who can make this kind of ointment to reattach broken limbs. He can expel people and turn them into ordinary jellyfish just by saying so.
Aren’t you afraid that you might get a headache or a fever in the future and not be able to find anyone to see a doctor?
Or did he bring all these potions back to the palace just in case?
Can he tell which medicine treats which injury?
"Oh, Xiao Hei, I forgot to ask you before. When the original owner was turned into an ordinary jellyfish and expelled, no one else saw his true form, right?"
If someone saw him coming back so blatantly, and he was a jellyfish, he would sooner or later be suspected.
Even if others don't doubt it, that suspicious little prince will definitely doubt it!
"Don't worry, Master. The Sea God was instigated by the little prince and was very angry. He cast the expulsion spell and curse together. The original owner disappeared from home in an instant. No one saw him reveal his jellyfish form."
Bai Chi opened his hands slightly and suddenly stopped, but still moved forward a little due to the inertia of the water.
Then he looked at Xiao Hei in surprise: "Wait a minute, what did you just say? Curse?"
Xiao Hei nodded in confusion: "Yeah, the curse, what's wrong?"
Bai Chi raised his palm slightly. In the palm-sized fish tank, a little sea snake crawled under the stone and was sleeping on his palm.
'Curse.'
Xiao Hei was still a little confused, but he quickly reacted, widened his eyes, and clapped his hands suddenly.
"Yes! He was also cursed and turned into an irrational sea snake. Maybe he was cursed by the sea god just like the original owner!"
Bai Chi nodded, his eyes moved slightly, and moved away from the little sea snake.
"The cursed sea serpent has existed for hundreds of years in the original owner's memory. Even if it wasn't cursed by the current sea god, it should be related to his scepter."
It seems that I have to study the scepter of the sea god.
He raised his hand and pulled Xiao Hei over. This time, without hesitation, he took a step and reached the top of the palace.
The sea god is here, playing with a group of beautiful mermaids.
These are all sons and daughters of the sea god, each one of them is either handsome or beautiful.
That’s fine, as mermaids don’t seem to be ugly.
But what is surprising is that the small silver fish that ordinary residents use to woo mates and feed their children are everywhere here.
There are all kinds of fish and fruits rarely seen in the deep sea, and the shells of all sizes are filled here for the sea god to taste.
Bai Chi clicked his tongue in his heart. It seemed that everyone in the underwater world looked innocent and harmless, but in fact, the Sea God and his family, who truly held power, were fully enjoying the offerings from the entire royal city.
However, Bai Chi's purpose was not here, but to stare at the scepter in the hand of the sea god.
"Master, just grab it?"
Xiao Hei was eager to try, but Bai Chi just looked at it for a while, then turned and left.
"Hey, wait, Master, don't you want the scepter anymore? Why are you leaving? Your husband is still waiting to recover."
"No hurry, I just took a look, that scepter recognizes its master, or rather, recognizes its bloodline. I won't be able to use it for the time being even if I snatch it."
"Huh? What should we do? How about we just threaten him directly?"
"No, I'll go back and study it myself, maybe I can figure it out."
Curses can be big or small, and since it concerns Yunxiao, he is also worried that the Sea God might suddenly grow a brain and do something else when lifting the curse.
Instead of threatening Poseidon, it would be better to find a way on your own. There must be something about this in the original owner's memory fragments.
But before going back, Bai Chi went to the little prince's palace again.
Unlike the children who were laughing around the sea god, the palace where the little prince lived was very remote and deserted.
This was totally different from what the original owner remembered. The little prince three years ago was the most popular little prince in the entire palace. He was also loved by all the residents of the royal city and was the most likely to become the successor to the next Sea God.
It is said that the little prince at that time lived in the most prosperous and lively palace in the entire palace except for the Palace of Poseidon.
Where is this cold place?
Could it be that the little prince lost his fish tail and was rejected by the sea god?
Bai Chi hypnotized a palace guard and asked a few questions. It turned out that the little prince had asked to move to the most remote place in the palace after he came back.
Not only that, except for bringing him food, no one is allowed to approach, let alone enter the little prince's palace. Even food can only be left at the door.
There really is a ghost.
According to the little prince's explanation, he is now in great pain and feels uncomfortable. Whenever he sees others, he will think of his lost fish tail, which makes him even sadder.
So he just wanted to be alone quietly, so that he would feel more comfortable.
"Bah! Sad as hell, you were running around just now."
Xiao Hei didn't believe it. It was obvious that this guy had a problem and wanted to cause trouble.
Finally, I couldn't help but complain like my master.
"Don't these people think twice? What if the little prince does something bad? They are so stupid!"
