Chapter 1573 There are two things

"Ah~ - It's like this again -"

As soon as Cyrene left the hidden natural ship, she couldn't help waving her arms and complaining.

“You’re really obsessed with this.”

"Because it's really interesting. Opportunities like this are rare, and when you are in a high position, the chances of encountering them are even rarer." Kullene turned around and explained to Blaze with gestures and excitement.

"Think about it, when you are just a poor kid, even rock-paper-scissors will make you try your best, and you will feel happy whether you win or lose."

“But when you grow up and have an identity, even if you still feel the joy of playing rock-paper-scissors, not many people will be willing to compete with you.”

“And many, many years later, you are in a high position and out of reach. Even if you are still the boy who tried his best to play rock-paper-scissors and felt happy, no one will play rock-paper-scissors with you, and no one will believe that you just wanted rock-paper-scissors.”

"So when someone really shows up who wants to play rock-paper-scissors with you and will do his best like you do, you will want to have a good fight with him and decide the winner."

"Then... let's play rock-paper-scissors?" Blaze raised his fist towards Kullene.

"That's just a metaphor, and you act like you're caring for an elderly widower who can't even find someone to play rock-paper-scissors with." Kullene's shoulders sank. Sometimes he suspected that Blaze was not sensitive, but dull and only looked at the surface.

"If you beat me, I won't bother with you about you using my name to pay for the whole game."

"You still remember!? Okay, rock, paper, scissors!"

Kullene immediately made a move with great speed, aiming at Blaze's raised fist.

But Blaze's dynamic vision and reflexes were so good that just as Kullene was about to open her palm, Blaze's fist was already raising two fingers.

But Kurene was not simple either. She immediately noticed that Blaze was about to change, and immediately tried to retract her five fingers and turn them into stone.

……

"What's wrong with you two?" Herbie looked speechlessly at the two childish kids holding his hands, "Don't tell me that you got a cramp in your fingers when you were playing rock-paper-scissors while changing your moves at high speed."

"If so, I will never play rock-paper-scissors with you again."

As he spoke, Hebi pointed at Blaze, and Kullene's face immediately filled with smug joy. Then Hebi added.

"I will never play rock-paper-scissors with you. You will definitely cheat."

"You are just being prejudiced." Kullene shook her hands nonchalantly to relieve the pain from the cramped fingers.

"Okay, enough kidding, now we have to talk about the future of Atlantis."

"You always use the despicable trick of talking about business." Blaze sighed heavily. Anyone would have to give up their selfishness for the sake of business, but Kullene was very good. She always grasped the important business accurately.

"Go ahead."

"There are two important things. One is the mining of materials on the continent of Atlantis." Kullene raised her index finger. There was no dispute over the ownership of the gem dragon veins grown by Hermes's Traveling Hat using the gem dragon seeds, but the ones on the continent of Atlantis were ownerless.

Before the competition with Naylan began, Cyrene mentioned the treasure house of Atlantis, which was actually the minerals on the surface of Atlantis.

It is no joke that the ocean is the world's largest treasure house. There have always been trace amounts of rare metals in sea water, and Poseidon, the god of the sea who can control the ocean, can make all these rare metals flow along the sea water and gather on the surface of the Atlantis continent.

In addition to rare metals, there are also various pearls and gems, and finally the continent of Atlantis was formed, which was like a jewelry box.

Mining was originally quite simple, just swinging the hoe in your hand and digging the ground diligently. But because the gem dragon vein grew out, it destroyed the balance, causing the Atlantis continent to turn upside down, with one side of the jewelry box facing the seabed.

If you want to mine, you must swim to the surface of the continent of Atlantis.

This brings us to the second question.

"It's a mermaid problem, right?" Blaze stepped on the ground. "Except for the little mermaid next to Naylan, the other mermaids are still at the bottom of Atlantis."

"Mermaids were created as slaves. Even if they were freed from their chains, they would not know how to roam freely."

"That's right. What's more, the problem is that this matter needs to be resolved urgently." Kullene put her hands on her hips and showed a rare expression of headache.

"The trident has been destroyed, and the power and strength of the ocean have been released. The mermaids are no longer subject to the twisted curse of Poseidon, the god of the sea. But conversely, their gifts and protection will soon disappear. It is time for them to make a choice."

"Just as what the baby grasps in the haze will become the direction of future development, after losing the curse and the gift, the mermaid chooses her future in the freedom of hesitation."

"The mermaid will find a way out. There will be two kinds of ways: a good way out and a bad way out."

"A good way out." Cyrene raised her right hand. "Continue the civilization. Although the gifts and protection of Poseidon, the god of the sea, have disappeared, the knowledge and customs that Poseidon taught them will not disappear. They will continue to exist as a wise nation."

"It's a bad way out." Cyrene raised her left hand with a serious expression. "They will become barbaric and turn into beasts. The wisdom they gain will disappear along with the gift of Poseidon, the god of the sea. Then they will create a new civilization for mermaids from scratch."

"It sounds like neither side is a good choice."

Blaze held his chin and looked back and forth between Kullene's hands.

In fact, the answer is already very obvious. Continuing civilization is the best choice.

Inheriting the civilization given to mermaids by Poseidon does not mean that they are still slaves of Poseidon. There is nothing wrong with believing in anything. Just like the Holy Cross State, believing in a god that no longer exists gives them some motivation and support for life.

On the contrary, it is to deny everything that has happened before. It seems that we have gotten rid of the past and put an end to it completely. However, the price to pay for starting all over again is too high. War and death will continue and may not even be resolved in a short time.

"Let me ask you first, are you asking me to choose?" Blaze asked, "If you're kidding, I'm going to play rock-paper-scissors with you."

Blaze emphasized as he looked at Kullene's face which was beginning to sweat.

“Hit it with a real hammer.”
