Building infrastructure in a digital world

The already extremely high favorability value has increased a lot.

Su You turned off the system prompts, so she couldn't see it naturally. However, her words were not really just said to gain favor. They were also her sincere words.

She did regard Luya as a friend, mainly because there was such a little mermaid who treated her sincerely, and she was embarrassed to live up to her kindness.

"This is for Yui." Luya said as she took out a bracelet with red beads connected by Shark silk.

After Su You took it, she put it on her hand directly. The length of this bracelet was just right. Su You would not tie her hands up or look cumbersome when wearing it.

"What is this?" Su You didn't use the viewing skills to see the information on this bracelet, but it could be seen from its obviously unusual appearance that this was no ordinary bracelet.

"This is the same shark blood bead that our mermaid tribe uses for communication and sound transmission..." After Luya's explanation, Su You knew that this should be similar to the sound transmission token given to her by Anita, which is equivalent to The communication phone number of the mermaid clan.

just the name...

"Same Blood Bead? Is it your blood?" It's normal for Su You to think so. The main reason is that the name and color of this thing are too easy to cause misunderstanding.

But this is actually not a misunderstanding.

"Well, that's right, these are actually the same shark blood beads formed from Luya's blood... But don't worry, Yui. When each of us mermaids reaches adulthood, they need to sacrifice their blood in front of the Poseidon for protection, etc. After the sacrifice is over, the blood will be useless and we can bring it back and refine it into shark blood beads."

The reason why the blood is needed is to let Poseidon remember them. After the sacrifice, the blood will not disappear and cannot be left there forever, so they will take it back.

"The string on Yuyi's hand is the same shark blood bead that I brought back at the end of my coming-of-age ceremony. It was blessed by the God of the Sea." As if she was afraid that Suyou would be worried, Luya explained quickly and urgently.

Su You nodded and breathed a sigh of relief...

Just now, she really thought that Luya was deliberately bleeding to give her this thing. Although she knew that this was a necessary process and it might not be anything to Luya, it still gave Suyou an inexplicable pressure.

...But after listening to Lu Ya's second paragraph, Su You suddenly felt that the value of the string of Shark blood beads in his hand was not much different.

This is the same shark blood bead that was blessed by the Poseidon during her coming-of-age ceremony. It is obviously of great significance.

Su You didn't have any good return gifts here, but thinking that the mermaid tribe might still hide many dangers and secrets, Su You's best return gift now was to help the mermaid tribe solve these hidden crises and troubles.

Not only for herself, but also for Luya.

……

After the topic of the same blood bead was over, Su You proposed to have a good chat with Luya in a quiet and uninhabited place.

Luya felt a little confused, but still took her to her bedroom, and raised her hand to set up a barrier to isolate the outside world. "Before we talk about this matter, Luya, please promise me not to leak this news easily." Suyou's expression was very serious, which shocked Luya, who originally thought she was just going to say something private. .

"Youyi, don't worry." Luya felt a little uneasy in her heart, because she always felt that what Suyou was going to say was not her personal matter, but related to the mermaid clan.

"After Ning Shi and I entered the bottom of the sea, we were all looking for Alan at first, hoping that it would take us to you, but we didn't find Alan, and because we were not familiar with the path on the bottom of the sea, we ended up in the whirlpool I stayed at the entrance for a long time..."

"Actually, before Luyali arrived, we had already seen another group of creatures... If I read correctly, they should be fish-men."

Having said this, Luya's expression has completely changed.

When she heard the word "fish-man", her expression became extremely bad, and her face, which was always smiling, lost all emotion.

"...Yuyi, are you sure you are a fish-man?" Luya's voice was filled with anger and an inaudible vibrato.

"...I can't confirm, after all, I have never seen fish-men, but they look exactly the same as the fish-men I recorded in the books." In fact, Su You can confirm that they are fish-men, because she has seen them before. She had seen fishmen and checked them with skills, so she was very sure.

But she definitely couldn't say that, but she wanted Luya to be sure that they were fish-men, so she described the physical features of those fish-men.

"That's right..." Luya's mood suddenly became very angry, with anger mixed with a hint of sadness: "It's the fishmen... What on earth are they doing here?!"

Luya's mood made Su You feel a little weird, because the mermaid and the fishman had conflicts and were enemies, so after hearing the news about the fishman, it was normal for Luya to be angry and furious.

But what is the reason for this inexplicable sadness?
Although she was very curious, now was not the time to study this. What Su You wanted to focus on was not only the murlocs, but also what she inadvertently overheard during the conversation between the murlocs.

"I vaguely heard some conversations. The content of the conversation was probably that they seemed to be performing certain actions, and..." Su You paused, then stared at Lu Ya seriously, and spoke in a voice that only two people could hear. He said softly: "I suspect there is a mole in your mermaid clan."

"..." Luya opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

First there was the appearance of the fish-man, and then there was the news about the mole. These two things were obviously not simple, and they had a huge impact on her.

Su You saw that although she was surprised, she was still listening carefully, so she gave her own guess based on what the fishmen said.

"This mole has probably been planted for a while. They said that this mole has gained your trust, and that while you are busy with other things during this period, they will cooperate with the mole inside and outside to do some harm. Things about the mermaid clan.”

Su You knew too little about the mermaid clan. She didn't even know what other things the mermaid clan was busy with recently, so the only analysis she could give was this.

"...In four days, our mermaid clan's sacrificial ceremony will be held." Luya had recovered from her complicated emotions. She slowly introduced the sacrificial ceremony to Su You.

"The sacrificial ceremony is held once every ten years. The main purpose of the sacrificial ceremony is to worship the God of the Sea and ask for blessings... I wish that the mermaid tribe will not be harmed by anything in the next ten years, and that the surrounding sea areas will remain calm and harmonious, and will not be threatened by foreign races..."
