Alder followed the professor to his laboratory and finally found a moment of peace.
The professor deliberately drained all the water in the laboratory so that Alder could feel more comfortable too.
Alder smiled and silently accepted the professor’s kindness. Josua started to study the picture on the iron plate left by the professor.
The content of the picture was very clear. Alder could tell at a glance where the underground ruins were, the extension of the ruins, and the mileposts. It was also clearly written on the iron plate the creatures guarding each milepost.
This showed that the merfolk kingdom had once tried to invade this place but the result was not ideal. No matter what, Alder wanted to take a look for himself.
When Alder was about to go out, he found the princess outside the laboratory door.
“I was afraid you were busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Here are some things from our merfolk kingdom for you to have a taste.”
The princess respectfully handed over a tray.
Seeing this tray, Alder realized that the princess did not seem to have the demeanor of a princess. She seemed more used to being a servant.
Alder waved his hand at her with a smile and said, “Thank you, but let’s wait until after I return from the ancient ruins.”
After saying this, Alder left the professor’s laboratory and walked in the direction of the ancient ruins.
Although he could swim in the water, Alder preferred this way. Josua did not notice the princess’s hesitance as she looked at his departing back.
Right after Alder left, the professor walked out with a sullen face.
