Building infrastructure in a digital world

As the murals and Suyou and Duoya reasoned, Keyena, the son of two pearls, is indeed not interested in the throne, but she is willing to take on this responsibility for her own abilities.

The reason why the fifth elder knew the queen and had such a good relationship was because their relationship was considered to be that of senior sisters.

The fifth elder's teacher was the previous third elder, and Keyena's combat teacher was also the previous third elder. Because of this relationship, the two came into contact.

After Keyena came of age, the previous group of elders thought about letting her gradually take over the affairs of the mermaid clan. However, due to the interference of the mermaid king, some mermaids were reluctant to delegate power.

But their reason is also very good, that is, Keyena is still young and cannot bear the burden of the mermaid clan, so they have to wait a few more years.

So this delay gave the Mermaid King time to operate secretly.

On the one hand, he used his status as a prince to contact the subjects of the mermaid tribe, and on the other hand, he began to pursue Keyena.

Keyena's love for the Mermaid King is actually not that deep. Part of the reason why she chose to be with the Mermaid King is that the Mermaid King happens to have this ability to manage the mermaid clan, which can just make up for her lack of ability in this area.

As for the other reason, the fifth elder himself found it a bit difficult to talk about it.

"My master and the others once forced Ana..." Despite the noble status of the Son of Two Pearls, the more such a person is, the more things he has to carry.

The Son of the Twin Pearls has a special constitution, so much so that the entire mermaid clan hopes that she can leave her bloodline as soon as possible... Even if her child is not the Son of the Twin Pearls, it will definitely be more powerful than ordinary mermaids.

But everyone knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, so even if they think about it again, they cannot do anything to force others to have children.

"Although they didn't dare to do anything, their mouths were really annoying. Ana probably couldn't stand it anymore, so she broke into the forbidden area, dug out a shark bead, and then used her own power to give birth to a mermaid..." And this mermaid is the great prince.

Su You: "?!" Hearing this, Su You was shocked and at the same time very impressed.

"So your other highnesses..." Although Su You knew she shouldn't ask, she still couldn't help it.

The fifth elder didn't care. Anyway, he had already said so much, so this was not enough.

"The second prince, the third princess...they are all the same as the eldest prince."

Su You: "..."

The Fifth Elder seemed not to notice her emotional change and continued: "Although it is the Shark Pearl from the Forbidden Land, it was conceived by Ana's power after all, so it is indeed her child, and there is still a blood relationship."

After the fifth elder's explanation, Su You learned that the 'pregnancy' here was not about actually getting pregnant and giving birth, but using the power of the mermaid to fuse with the shark beads to form something similar to a mermaid embryo, and then putting the embryo into a special environment. Let it grow.

Of course, this method is limited to powerful mermaids. Ordinary mermaids will die midway due to lack of energy... If every mermaid can really 'give birth' like this, then the mermaid clan will not be the only one with this kind of child. Quantity.

Although she has children, because this method is too... so the identities of these children can only remain a secret, so Keyena still needs to find someone to be the father of these children, otherwise the identities of these children will be difficult to explain.

And this person is the current Mermaid King. After that, the Mermaid King and Keyena were together. Keyena was supposed to be the king, but because she deliberately retired, the power went to the Mermaid King. In the end, the identity was transferred, and Keyena, the son of two pearls, became the king. The queen.

The Mermaid King regards Keyena as a stepping stone to the throne, and Keyena also regards the Mermaid King as a tool.

Hearing this, Su You exclaimed inwardly that the big melon tasted really delicious, but after thinking about it, she always felt that something was not quite right.

"Since the two of you don't have any feelings, is the Mermaid King's deep affection all these years just..." Pretending?

Su You's tone was tactful, but how could the Fifth Elder not hear it?

From Su You's point of view, if these two mermaids are really using each other, then the mermaid king doesn't like Keyena, and the previous rumors about the relationship between the two are all false, so Mrs. Sang is not a stand-in. , but true love!

Of course, these are just what Su You thought.

The real plot has another twist.

"They did not have any feelings at first, but later on, the Mermaid King seemed to really fall in love with Ana. Ana still hasn't changed, but she is not hard-hearted, so she was moved."

Su You: "...?" Su You suddenly heard this paragraph and felt it was a bit unreasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, the age difference between the eldest prince and Luya was more than ten years, which meant that Keyena got along with the Mermaid King before her death. for more than ten years.

Over ten years!

As long as they are not enemies, even if they have a dog, they will still have feelings, right?

Regardless of whether the 'love' here of the Mermaid King is true or false, it is not incomprehensible if Keyena has softened her heart.

……wrong!

Su You suddenly thought of another question!

Hongsi once said that the queen went to the forbidden area to deal with things after giving birth to Luya. Let’s not talk about what exactly she went to do. Just look at the first half of the sentence. From Hongsi’s perspective, Luya was born to the queen, not Conceived from embryos!

Excluding the possibility that Hongsi lied and that Hongsi regarded the embryo pregnancy as a normal pregnancy and childbirth, it seems that there is only one truth...

"Fifth Elder, were all six His Highnesses conceived by the Queen using embryos?" Su You asked boldly.

The fifth elder was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head.

"So Luya is not only the queen's child, but also the mermaid king's child?" And if the guess is correct, only Luya should be the mermaid king's child. This can also explain why the mermaid king loves Luya especially, but treats other children The attitude is mediocre.

From this point of view, the Mermaid King's love for Luya shouldn't be fake...at least it won't be completely fake. After all, she is such a biological daughter. Who else can he dote on if he doesn't dote on her?

But the focus now is not on Luya, but on the story of the Mermaid King, Queen Keyena, and Miriel.

Su You thought for a while, and then asked a question about Miriel, which was also a question she had always been concerned about.

Su You: "How did Miriel die in the first place?"

Ever since she learned that the fusion of shark beads and energy could give birth to life, and that the queen knew this method, and that Keyena was the queen and the son of the twin beads, Su You seemed to have guessed something.

Miriel was indeed dead, but she was resurrected.

The person who resurrected her was Keyena, and the method of resurrection was related to her identity as the child of twin beads.
