Norman returned to the aircraft and took off the mask. The thin piece of mask shrank into a small capsule. He put it in his pocket and gave the order to the levitated vehicle: "Let's go back."
"Okay, master." The electronic tone responded.
The levitating vehicle started and moved quickly along the upper track.
A minute later, Norman received a message from Hornard.
"Your Majesty," Hornard was full of expectation, "How was it? Did you see it?"
"En," Norman replied. He pressed his forehead and said, "Send me a batch of soothing agents."
Hornard had not had time to be happy when he became anxious when he heard this request.
"Twenty soothing agents are used up so quickly? You used it too quickly. If you continue to do this, you will not even be able to achieve the effect of first aid."
Norman rubbed his temples: "I haven't achieved the effect of first aid for a long time now."
"At least make sure that you are back from patrolling safely! Make sure no one will notice that you have a mental riot!"
Hornard was agitated, "You are too crazy. Your mental state is unstable but you still go out to fight and patrol around..."
Norman didn't wait for him to finish. He interrupted and corrected: "I'm just doing a normal patrol."
"There is no reason to patrol three hundred and sixty-five days a year! You simply think Soo City is too boring!" The doctor broke Norman's lie loudly and angrily while still being worried.
Norman asked faintly: "Will my mental riot be okay if I'll just keep staying in Soo Star?"
Hornard was silent. He sighed slightly being a little distressed while seeing his Majesty who he has seen from his(Norman) childhood.
His Majesty's mental power level is too high and the mermaids are very sensitive. Seeing his majesty for them is like seeing an enemy. So they always act wildly when seeing his Majesty.
Hornard was helpless. For the sake of His Majesty Norman, the Scientific Research Institute deliberately used to let the mermaid watch His Majesty's photos and videos from when they were still cubs. But it had no effect. Those mermaids would still turn violent after seeing His Majesty.
Whether watching his majesty's handsome and bright photos when he was a child, or a scene of him fighting in bloody battles on the battlefield when he grew up, as long as the mermaids saw his majesty himself, the mermaids would wait to fight with his majesty, without exception.
Hornard was not going to continue this frustrating topic. After all, things have turned for the better!
His Majesty has not participated in the auction for almost a year. Every time he went to see samples, mermaids would not like him.
He was really curious about the mermaid whom His Majesty fancied.
Norman thought of a pair of clear aqua blue eyes. A word appeared in his mind- ''An''(meaning peace) but he did not say it.
He had once bought a mermaid. When he was in the exhibition room, the mermaid was very quiet.
As a result, the first time he met that mermaid after he got the bid, the mermaid attacked him while he was not paying attention.
That mermaid was silent before because he was just waiting for the opportunity to attack.
Thinking of this, Norman did not answer, just in case he will be beaten in the face again: "You can see it tonight."
Back to the palace, Norman walked to the study. When he reached the door, he paused.
He turned around and went to the mermaid room that had been prepared for many years but had never been used.
He looked around and gave the butler robot an order to clean up.

The sky gradually dimmed. The star that was radiating the city descended and two stars from the north and the south rose, and the city of Soo was bathed in the silver-blue light.
In the Xing Chen Auction House, VIP Room
It was 8:01. The guests in each private room were all staring at the display screen on the wall.
They were putting their hands on the right armrest where the price increase console was located. You can press the button to increase the price or you can directly enter the price.
A host in a dark red suit walked onto the auction stage.
Although there was no one on the stage, he still kept a decent smile because he knew that all the guests were staring at him in front of the screen.
In order to protect the privacy of guests and ensure their safety, guests will not show up during the auction process.
Guests in the VIP room enter and exit through the passage connected to the private room, and they bid in their own private room.
The host gave a warm speech: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Xing Chen Auction!"
"I won't talk too much nonsense," he paused at the right time and then said in a loud voice that aroused people's emotions, "Let's look at the auction item tonight, a solid-color mermaid!"
The host finished speaking and walked to the side of the stage to make sure that it would not affect the guests' appreciation of the mermaid.
The screen covering the entire wall behind him lit up, showing the scene of the exhibition room.
The pure blue little mermaid was lying on the bottom of the pool, with his head resting on his arm. His face was blocked by the beautiful hair and only his white ears could be seen.
Just as everyone was attracted by this beautiful and peaceful scene, the little mermaid suddenly moved.
An Jin's wound on his back brain has been faintly painful. It was not that serious but it definitely couldn't be ignored.
There were a lot of people in the room before and he had always been the center of focus. When only he was left in the room, he relaxed and fell asleep unknowingly.
When he was just sleeping soundly, he woke up suddenly.
He suddenly felt that he was being watched.
He pulled out the hairs that were blocking his face and looked to the shore, where no one was there.
At this time, all the guests in the private room couldn't help but cast their eyes on his face.
He had a small face and very delicate facial features. His aqua-blue eyes lifted lightly. It looked very agile.
An Jin didn't see anyone but still felt wrong. Not only did the feeling of being watched not disappear, but it deepened.
He realized that his perception was much more sensitive than before.
Thinking of this, he inspected his spiritual sea and was surprised to find that the mental power that had resisted the consumption of fish and impurities had all recovered.
Before, when people had kept coming to the room, he was too nervous and hadn't recovered at all.
He was still very worried at that time. He was afraid that after becoming a mermaid, his mental power would not recover naturally.
As a result, he just slept, and he recovered!
The recovery speed was much faster than before.
He was a little happy. He could now regain his mental power after resting, which is great!
Thinking of the current situation, he wiggled his tail and swam to the surface of the water. He floated around and then raised his head to look around.
When he was swimming, the fishtail swung lightly and his body stretched out. Almost everyone's eyes fell on his fishtail.
The light penetrated the water and fell to his fishtail. The aqua-blue scales were shining brightly, and dazzling.
The host left enough time for the guests to appreciate and then announced: "The starting price is one billion Soo dollars. The minimum price increase is 50 million. The auction begins now!"
At the top of the electronic screen, a round frame appeared, which displayed the bidding price in real-time.
In the blink of an eye, the bid price has reached two billion.
The numbers were still rising at the speed of light.
The host's eyes were getting brighter. When he saw the price reaching more than eight billion, his heartbeat couldn't help speeding up.
The highest transaction price for intermediate-level mermaid was 8 billion.
Soon, the bidding price exceeded 10 billion.
An Jin didn't know that he was being auctioned off. He was still observing the surroundings carefully. Finally, his gaze fell on the black ball-like thing on the wall.
He had observed these spheres before. There were sixteen identical spheres, four at equal intervals on each wall.
He noticed that the outer layer of these spheres had changed. The outer layer of these spheres had opened up, revealing the glass-like core.
Almost instantly, he realized that it was a monitoring device.
From the design point of view, it looked very much like an eye.
An Jin frowned and the feeling of being watched by an unknown person made him very uncomfortable.
He used his water system ability wanting to block the camera, but the next moment, he withdrew the ability.
This is his ace card and last hope. It can't be easily exposed.
Moreover, his power level is still very low. He won't be able to cover sixteen cameras at the same time.
At the auction site, the number representing the price gradually changed more and more. After 16 billion, there was a pause for a moment. The next moment, it directly rose to 20 billion.
After a longer pause this time, the number increased again.
Norman's eyes fell on the screen and the little mermaid was looking up at the camera. Looking at it this way, the two seemed to be looking at each other.
He looked at those gentle blue eyes and typed in twenty-five without hesitation.
The host's voice was trembling with excitement: "Twenty-five billion yuan! Will this be the final price? Who will buy a solid-colored mermaid that is rare in a century!"
The host tried his best to stir up the atmosphere but the number did not increase.
25 billion is already a sky-high price.
The host looked at the countdown display and when the time returned to zero, he announced loudly: "Congratulations to this guest, for successfully buying a pure-color mermaid at a price of 25 billion yuan."
After he finished speaking, the screen at the back went dark.
At the same time, An Jin saw that all the spheres were closed. The feeling of being watched disappeared.
He relaxed a little, thinking about the current situation.
Why did those people come to see him before? Why did the monitoring camera just turn on?
"Diiii——" He was just thinking when he heard the electronic sound. He looked at the door quickly.
The door slid open from both sides and a tall man walked in.
Behind him were the doctor and Professor Jin, as well as four bodyguards in black suits.
The man had short black hair, an ordinary face, and exceptionally deep brown eyes.
An Jin still had an impression of this man. He almost immediately looked at the man's spiritual sea.
The black spiritual lines had increased but there was no spark.
He thought, the man's mental power did not rise but fell. Was it because this man had no ability of mental recovery or was it because of occurrence of another damage that wasted his spiritual energy?
"Sir, this is the Mermaid Breeding Manual. I hope you can take good care of him." Professor Jin handed Norman a pamphlet. "If he is unwell, please send him to the pet hospital under the scientific research institute for examination. "
Professor Jin said, still not reconciled: "Sir, I still think it is more appropriate for you to leave your address. We will arrange for the mermaid doctor to visit him regularly."
Norman thought, if he'll leave the address, he won't be able to take the little mermaid today.
He took the pamphlet: "No, I have a doctor."
An Jin was thinking and observing the actions of several people when there was a soft noise from all around.
He was surrounded by transparent metal plates again!
After that, he was carried to the shore. The two bodyguards held the cover cloth and tightly covered the container.
An Jin's sight was blocked. He couldn't help being nervous. After a while, the water shook slightly.
He looked down at the ground and got the answer at a glance. Someone was pushing the container.
He stared at the ground. He was pushed and lifted all the way, and finally stopped at a carpeted place.
Norman closed the door of the levitating car and issued a voice command to return to the palace.
The intelligent operating system responded and started the car.
An Jin heard the calm and low male voice, mechanical and electronic sound one after another. He was guessing about the level of technology in this world when his eyes were suddenly almost blinded by the extreme light.
He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to block the light. He then moved away after adapting to meet the man's deep eyes.
The man's eyes were full of scrutiny and inquiry.
An Jin's ear fins opened uncontrollably again. The man's aura was too strong and he instinctively felt this guy was dangerous.
He flung his tail lightly, stepped back, and his vision widened when he distanced himself from that man.
When he saw the man's face clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.
This person can........change his face?
The original ordinary face was gone and now it was a face with sharp edges and corners, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and even a sharp jawline.
There was no expression on the man's face at this moment. He looked extremely serious.
An Jin couldn't hide his surprise. His eyes wandered around the man's face but he didn't find a trace of disguise.
Norman paid attention to his gaze, somewhat surprised.
This mermaid is more spiritual than anyone he has ever seen.
He seems to be able to tell that his appearance has changed.
Of course, there is another possibility---the mermaid is watching him, waiting for an opportunity to attack and................ slap him.1

Norman returned to the aircraft and took off the mask. The thin piece of mask shrank into a small capsule. He put it in his pocket and gave the order to the levitated vehicle: "Let's go back."
"Okay, master." The electronic tone responded.
The levitating vehicle started and moved quickly along the upper track.
A minute later, Norman received a message from Hornard.

"Twenty soothing agents are used up so quickly? You used it too quickly. If you continue to do this, you will not even be able to achieve the effect of first aid."
Norman rubbed his temples: "I haven't achieved the effect of first aid for a long time now."
"At least make sure that you are back from patrolling safely! Make sure no one will notice that you have a mental riot!"
Hornard was agitated, "You are too crazy. Your mental state is unstable but you still go out to fight and patrol around..."
Norman didn't wait for him to finish. He interrupted and corrected: "I'm just doing a normal patrol."
"There is no reason to patrol three hundred and sixty-five days a year! You simply think Soo City is too boring!" The doctor broke Norman's lie loudly and angrily while still being worried.
Norman asked faintly: "Will my mental riot be okay if I'll just keep staying in Soo Star?"

The outer layer of these spheres had opened up, revealing the glass-like core.Almost instantly, he realized that it was a monitoring device.From the design point of view, it looked very much like an eye.An Jin frowned and the feeling of being watched by an unknown person made him very uncomfortable.He used his water system ability wanting to block the camera, but the next moment, he withdrew the ability.This is his ace card and last hope. It can't be easily exposed.Moreover, his power level is still very low. He won't be able to cover sixteen cameras at the same time.At the auction site, the number representing the price gradually changed more and more. After 16 billion, there was a pause for a moment. The next moment, it directly rose to 20 billion.After a longer pause this time, the number increased again.Norman's eyes fell on the screen and the little mermaid was looking up at the camera. Looking at it this way, the two seemed to be looking at each other.He looked at those gentle blue eyes and typed in twenty-five without hesitation.The host's voice was trembling with excitement: "Twenty-five billion yuan! Will this be the final price? Who will buy a solid-colored mermaid that is rare in a century!"The host tried his best to stir up the atmosphere but the number did not increase.25 billion is already a sky-high price.The host looked at the countdown display and when the time returned to zero, he announced loudly: "Congratulations to this guest, for successfully buying a pure-color mermaid at a price of 25 billion yuan."After he finished speaking, the screen at the back went dark.At the same time, An Jin saw that all the spheres were closed. The feeling of being watched disappeared.He relaxed a little, thinking about the current situation.Why did those people come to see him before? Why did the monitoring camera just turn on?"Diiii" He was just thinking when he heard the electronic sound. He looked at the door quickly.The door slid open from both sides and a tall man walked in.Behind him were the doctor and Professor Jin, as well as four bodyguards in black suits.The man had short black hair, an ordinary face, and exceptionally deep brown eyes.An Jin still had an impression of this man. He almost immediately looked at the man's spiritual sea.The black spiritual lines had increased but there was no spark.He thought, the man's mental power did not rise but fell. Was it because this man had no ability of mental recovery or was it because of occurrence of another damage that wasted his spiritual energy?"Sir, this is the Mermaid Breeding Manual. I hope you can take good care of him." Professor Jin handed Norman a pamphlet. "If he is unwell, please send him to the pet hospital under the scientific research institute for examination. "Professor Jin said, still not reconciled: "Sir, I still think it is more appropriate for you to leave your address. We will arrange for the mermaid doctor to visit him regularly."Norman thought, if he'll leave the address, he won't be able to take the little mermaid today.He took the pamphlet: "No, I have a doctor."An Jin was thinking and observing the actions of several people when there was a soft noise from all around.He was surrounded by transparent metal plates again!After that, he was carried to the shore. The two bodyguards held the cover cloth and tightly covered the container.An Jin's sight was blocked. He couldn't help being nervous. After a while, the water shook slightly.He looked down at the ground and got the answer at a glance. Someone was pushing the container.He stared at the ground. He was pushed and lifted all the way, and finally stopped at a carpeted place.Norman closed the door of the levitating car and issued a voice command to return to the palace.The intelligent operating system responded and started the car.An Jin heard the calm and low male voice, mechanical and electronic sound one after another. He was guessing about the level of technology in this world when his eyes were suddenly almost blinded by the extreme light.He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to block the light. He then moved away after adapting to meet the man's deep eyes.The man's eyes were full of scrutiny and inquiry.An Jin's ear fins opened uncontrollably again. The man's aura was too strong and he instinctively felt this guy was dangerous.He flung his tail lightly, stepped back, and his vision widened when he distanced himself from that man.When he saw the man's face clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.This person can........change his face?The original ordinary face was gone and now it was a face with sharp edges and corners, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and even a sharp jawline.There was no expression on the man's face at this moment. He looked extremely serious.An Jin couldn't hide his surprise. His eyes wandered around the man's face but he didn't find a trace of disguise.Norman paid attention to his gaze, somewhat surprised.This mermaid is more spiritual than anyone he has ever seen.He seems to be able to tell that his appearance has changed.Of course, there is another possibility---the mermaid is watching him, waiting for an opportunity to attack and................ slap him.1................................
