Philip had never used the black turtle shell because it did not seem to have any other function besides being a
tough shield.
'Since the other party is also a turtle, why not try this black turtle shell?'
With that thought in mind, Philip immediately took out the black turtle shell from his space ring.
When the black turtle shell appeared, the water's surface instantly became calm.
Philip held up the black turtle shell, and huge pressure spread to the surroundings. All things in the water revered
the black turtle. Although he merely held a shell, it was enough to make that strange big turtle submit.
The big turtle quickly prostrated. Even the people behind Philip, including the princess, knelt.
The big turtle slowly retreated.
It left without a trace, but Philip knew that it was the remaining pressure on the black turtle shell that scared the big

After a long time and seeing no movements from the big turtle, Philip put away the black turtle shell. To his surprise,
the merfolk of the merfolk kingdom made no move and remained kneeling. Even the princess was no exception.
Finally, Philip saw the octopus professor.
"What are you doing?"
Philip looked at the merfolk in bewilderment. Even Zagu, who was rude to him before, knelt respectfully in the
water, not even caring about his broken bones.
"On behalf of all citizens of the merfolk kingdom, I, the princess, Vanessa Wasser, implore the prophet to save us..."
"Huh?" Philip was dumbfounded.
'The prophet?'
Seeing Philip's puzzled expression, the professor said, "Princess, you should take the prophet to our underwater
ruins to take a look..."
Hearing that, the princess seemed to remember something.
Without another word, she grabbed Philip's hand.
As Philip was pulled away by the princess, he saw that the merfolk kneeling on the ground did not even dare to lift
their heads.
Philip followed the princess, who finally realized that she was too anxious just now and grabbed Philip's hand.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." The princess started apologizing to Philip while swimming.
Philip smiled and said, "Did that big turtle come here often to make trouble for you?"
Hearing that, the princess looked unhappy.
"If not for the ruins of the merfolk kingdom, we wouldn't have attracted so many underwater creatures."
The two talked as they swam and soon arrived at the ruins that the princess mentioned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Philip saw the ruins, he was shocked.
It was a huge area with many buildings that looked a little dilapidated, but even so, Philip could tell from the huge
and exotic buildings that this place must have been very prosperous before.
On top of that, there were many symbols left by practitioners. Although these symbols looked peculiar, Philip could
tell at a glance that they were left by human practitioners because of the various elemental attributes on them.
Moreover, many well-preserved magic circles could once again be activated with energy.
"Was this place left behind by humans?" Philip subconsciously asked.
The princess sighed softly and said, "The king of the merfolk kingdom at that time was my grandfather. Because
my grandfather was on good terms with humans, they left this relic as a gift to us. As a gift in return, we gave away
10,000 merfolk hearts."
"Merfolk hearts?" Philip was taken aback.
How could these merpeople live without a head?
