"Do you think it's cruel to trade with merfolk's hearts?" the princess asked.
Philip just nodded without speaking.
The princess suddenly ripped apart the covering on her chest. A shocking wound was displayed on her chest.
"In fact, merpeople have two hearts."
Seeing the princess's actions, Philip felt a little embarrassed because she was a mermaid, after all.
Showing her wound openly in front of him just like that made Philip a little embarrassed. However, she seemed
unconcerned.
Seeing Philip's expression, she simply said, "We merfolk don't have as much etiquette as humans, so you don't have
to feel embarrassed... Showing you my wound is to tell you that most merpeople have lost a heart just to protect

'Protect their last piece of homeland?'
'Did that mean that all the merpeople used to have two hearts, but they had to give up one of them for some
special reason?'
"Why did all of you lose a heart?" Philip puzzled for a while before asked.
The princess replied, "The humans discovered that the hearts of merpeople can be used as medicine to improve
your practice, so some practitioners with ulterior motives attacked us under the guise of networking."
Philip finally realized why Zagu, the merman from before, was so resentful upon seeing him.
"Because most of the merpeople have lost a heart, various water monsters in this underwater world are watching
us. They have long coveted this ancient ruin."
As the two chatted, the princess took out a dust-covered stone. This stone was shaped like a book, but its contents
were blurred.
Philip took the stone. Although this thing was covered in dust, as long as he infused some energy in it, he could see
the content. This was also a trick commonly used by most magic devices.
Philip poured his energy into it without hesitation.
Words appeared on the stone.
[in the year 1330 of the Merfolk Calendar, the merfolk kingdom faced a crisis. It was difficult to defend the ancient
ruins, and the merfolk kingdom was lacking in manpower.]
[Only the one who wields the divine artifact can deter all other underwater creatures. If the chosen one joins the
merfolk kingdom, they can turn the tides.]

Philip continued to read the text.
According to the second half, was the thing that could deter all other underwater creatures referring to the black
turtle shell in his hand. Since he owned the black turtle shell, he would naturally be regarded as the savior by the
people of this country.
Philip stopped infusing his energy and returned the stone book to the princess.
He said, "Princess, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really don’t know how..."
Philip shook his head and said wryly.
His actions made the princess' expression change rapidly.
There was shock, surprise, anticipation, and hope.
Various emotions added to the princess' expression.
"You can actually read the contents of the stone book without using the power of the blood... According to the
historical records of the merfolk kingdom, only the descendant of the mighty being who left behind this stone book
and the royal bloodline of the merfolk kingdom can read the content."
