American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 502 Fox's Judgment
While Floyd was still considering the safety of the little mermaid, the little mermaid had already woken up from her coma and floated up from the pond.

She is an Atlantean mermaid, and Atlanteans become more energetic when they encounter water. This talent has long been written into the bones of every Atlantean.

Haven’t you seen that Om was starved to look like that grandpa? But after just a few seconds of touching the sea water, he changed from a skinny guy to a muscular man with full blood.

In terms of Aquaman's bloodline, although the mermaid Tiffany is not as good as Om, she is not much worse than Om, and she also has the passive ability of having a high probability of reviving with full health when encountering water.

Seeing the head slowly floating out of the pond, Floyd curled his lips in frustration.

"Hey!"

I saw him shouting to Tiffany from a distance.

"If I had known that throwing you into the water would wake you up, I would have tied you up and thrown you into the sun.

Xiaoyu, can we talk this over? I'm ordering food right now. If you want to continue making trouble, can you wait until I finish breakfast?
Or would you like one too?
To be honest, the food at the Ghost House is really great and will definitely satisfy your appetite.

So, want some?"

"Uh……"

Listening to Freud's words, the little mermaid pursed her lips uncomfortably.

She rarely fights, and rarely experiences real combat.

The fight just now had made her blood boil. Even though she had just woken up from a coma, the adrenaline in her body was still working hard.

Looking at Floyd's dark face, Tiffany's chest trembled constantly and her breathing was so rapid that she almost exhaled her lungs.

Floyd was a smart man. He noticed Tiffany's condition at a glance, so he quickly raised his hands and said to Tiffany with a smile.

“Believe me, I have no ill will towards you. The reason I knocked you out before was because you invaded our Ghost Party’s territory and killed Tang’s men.

You know who Don is, don't you? The two princes of you underwater people were beaten so badly by my boss the day before yesterday. You should remember this, right?

Anyway, little mermaid, if I were you, you should take a few deep breaths, adjust your emotions, and then think about how to explain to Don that you killed a group of his men!"

"Ahhhhh???"

The little mermaid was filled with indignation just now, but then she heard the bad news.

"so……"

She asked with a dull look in her eyes.

“So those despicable bastards I killed on the beach were actually the Lord’s men?

The lord’s title is Ghost? It’s not as nice as I imagined, but it’s not bad either.

As for his men, well...his men...are really bad!

God of the sea, after going around in circles, I actually arrived at the place I wanted to go as a prisoner.

This is really...an interesting fate~"

Having said that, the mermaid Tiffany couldn't help but smile, then she stood up and prepared to float out of the pond.

But when she was about to rush out of the pond, her mechanical tail suddenly stopped and then malfunctioned, causing her to fall into the water.

After swimming around awkwardly, Tiffany shook her head helplessly and raised her hands.

As her hands swayed gently like willows, the water around her body gradually gathered and spun, lifting her tail and sending her back into the air.

Looking at the ball of water slowly floating in front of him, the two giant Asian carps disoriented in the water, and the sea-blue tail of the fish that was several sizes larger than the giant carps.

Floyd frowned, then pointed at her tail and asked.

"That device on your tail...?"

“It’s broken, but that’s not surprising, because the device was not developed for combat. Its function is only to help me leave the sea better.

You...ah, black-skinned land man, your mechanical battle suit is very powerful, it is basically a perfect war machine, and you are quite decisive, so my mechanical tail was broken by you.

Don't worry, I won't ask you to pay for it. Even without a tail, I can still move on land, just like now.

Controlling this amount of water doesn't take much of my energy, don't worry, you evil black-skinned land dweller~"

At the end, Tiffany Zhong couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Floyd.

Looking at Tiffany with white eyes, Floyd waved his hand quickly.

“Don’t look at me like that, damn it, you’re dragging a fish tail…rolling your eyes at me?

You know, at that moment, I thought you were... Damn it, I thought you were going to die..."

"Uh, boring..."

Tiffany replied depressedly, and Floyd laughed.

After he finished laughing, he waved to Tiffany, pointed to the sofa beside him, and said.

"To use Don's local dialect, you and I wouldn't know each other unless we had a fight, come and sit down.

Fortunately, the boss is a lazy person, so he usually puts all kinds of large sofas in the room. Otherwise, if it were a chair, it would not be able to accommodate your big tail.

As for your mechanical tail, let me think about it. Bruce seems to be busy with something, and Lex has also opened a new experimental base at the dock, and it seems that he is planning to study those monsters, so he is not in the manor.

How about this, I'll call Wayne Group's laboratory and ask two experts to come over and take a look.

If nothing goes wrong, they will give you a perfect mechanical tail for me."

After he finished speaking, Floyd waved again, signaling Tiffany not to be polite and just sit on the big sofa opposite him.

Seeing that Freud spoke lightly, Tiffany snorted, then rode the pond water to the front of the sofa.

She put her hands on the sofa, controlled the water flow away from her body and every scale, and threw the water back into the pond.

Just as the water hit the pond, Tiffany did a 360-degree spin on the sofa, swinging her big tail like a gymnast on the parallel bars.

Then she hugged her tail and looked at the table, pointing at the steaming teapot curiously and asked.

"That's a drink, it's really strange, we don't have the habit of drinking beverages under the sea.

Can I try some of your land-based drinks?"

"No problem, Your Highness. Downton Abbey will unconditionally meet any needs of every princess, as long as the need is not unreasonable~"

As soon as Tiffany finished speaking, Alfred, who had just received the news, walked elegantly from the main gate of the castle, came to Tiffany and bowed gently.

Looking at Alfred's inherent elegance and easy-going nature, Tiffany's eyes lit up. This old man finally had some royal demeanor!

This is what I want to see... His Majesty the Lord's steward!
Thinking of this, Princess Tiffany could not hide her joy. She squinted her smiling eyes and bowed gently to Alfred, then asked.

"Hello, I am Tiffany, the princess of the Undersea Fisherman Kingdom. I wonder if I may be honored to learn about your position, sir?"

“Hello, Princess Tiffany, your presence is like a warm breeze, bringing more than just a hint of fragrance to the manor, Your Highness.

And me, please forgive me for not introducing myself first.

I am Alfred, Alfred Pennyworth, butler to Master Downton and Master Bruce."

After briefly introducing himself, Alfred took a deep breath of relief.

It has been a long time since this manor welcomed a real royal family member since Thomas' death!

Looking at the mermaid princess, whose upper body was still straight even though she was curled up on the sofa with her tail bent, and her exceptionally straight and slender neck.

That's right!

That's what it feels like!

It’s back, all back, it feels like hosting a royal family member!
And the princess in front of him was as beautiful as if those elf-like princesses in the British royal family in the past had come alive today!
Looking at Tiffany's elegant demeanor, Alfred seemed to see the princess played by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday!

No, the original lady Tiffany was more elegant and truly came from the influence of the royal family, which is not something that can be described by mere acting skills!
For a moment, Alfred was extremely excited. After many years, since he had tried his best to persuade Downton to pay attention to hygiene, he once again found the passion for his work as a butler!
This feeling is really...really...

“Alfred, what are you looking at so closely?

Can you introduce me to her, or should I not show up at this time because you saw the face of your first love in this little girl? "

Just as Alfred was filled with excitement, a laughing voice came from far behind him.

The voice was getting closer and closer to Alfred's back, and along with the voice came Martha, who was gently combing her hair.

Although Martha is middle-aged, she is not as old as she appears in the movie, and she is now nearly ten years younger than she was in the movie.

Although farm life has left Martha with some traces of weathering, ample exercise and a healthy diet have also helped her retain more than a bit of her youthfulness.

She was seen teasing as she stood next to Alfred and looked at Tiffany's tail with interest.

Then she patted Alfred's butt gently and laughed.

"Don't worry, Alfred, I can see where your excitement is coming from.

You are the best housekeeper I have ever met, and receiving the princess is indeed an exciting thing for you.

Of course, I haven’t actually met many housekeepers, haha~”

As she laughed, Martha admired her own achievement, which was Alfred's gradually pale face.

As for Tiffany, she was slightly stunned, then bowed to Martha and asked gracefully.

“Is that the etiquette of the land, if so, please forgive me… there is no butt.

Sorry, I just got to the surface and I have a lot to learn."

“Haha, don’t say that, girl, the land is no different from the sea, it’s a place where a group of men are trying their best to figure out how to start a war.

You underwater people attacked us just like those stupid American politicians sent troops to attack us. They are all bad people and are equally bad at heart.

But since there is no difference between men in the sea and on land, I think there should be no difference between women in different places.

Apart from the fact that you have a mechanical fish tail, we can definitely find common topics, as long as you don’t mind that I’m much older than you~”

Having said that, Martha gently sat down next to Tiffany, rested her upper body on the armrest of Tiffany's sofa, and stretched out her right hand to hover above Tiffany's tail.

She wanted to touch it, but was a little hesitant, so she asked tentatively.

"My dear, has your tail... been made of this metal since birth?
Or was your tail an afterthought, like in Ghost in the Shell, cyberpunk?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Tiffany couldn't help but be stunned.

“Ma’am, this is not my tail, but a mechanical exoskeleton that I customized for you.

Although my mother was an excellent queen, she was obviously not good enough to give birth to a machine...

My own tail is much more beautiful than this one. If a maintenance worker can come and help me remove this exoskeleton, I will let you try the feel of my tail~"

At this point, Tiffany playfully curled her tail and placed her huge tail fin under Martha's palm.

Tiffany then leaned over, grabbed the exoskeleton outside the tail fin and began to exert force.

After moving two joints along the direction of the machine, a large part of Tiffany's tail fin was exposed, but only this much could be exposed.

Looking at the completely stuck exoskeleton, Tiffany tentatively increased her strength. After making sure that she couldn't dismantle the device by brute force, Tiffany raised her head and gave Floyd another blank look without saying a word.

At the same time, on the side, Alfred glanced at Tail and asked softly.

"Your Highness, do you know any mechanical maintenance personnel? If not, I think I can provide you with..."

"Alfred, stop being so literal. This chick isn't as classy as you think. She just killed a whole boatload of people at the dock.

Although the ship was not big, the Revenant lost eight guys. This girl is a warrior at heart, not a lady, and I'm ready to call the R&D department of Wayne Group!"

"This……"

Floyd's words made Alfred ponder for a moment, then he waved his hand and said.

"I'll contact Fox directly. Master Bruce and Lex are not here, so I'm afraid Fox is the only one who can help us and is worthy of our trust.

It’s a pity that Iron Man didn’t come back with us, otherwise, he would definitely be very interested in the technology from under the sea~"

Alfred quickly adapted to the current environment and made a little joke.

Then, as Martha gently played with Tiffany's tail and exclaimed from time to time, Alfred called Fox.

About twenty minutes later, breakfast was prepared and served to the dining table in the yard.

Fox's Focus slowly drove into the manor and stopped on the grass more than 400 meters away.

Fox got out of the car in neat steps, came to the dining table, nodded to everyone, then looked at the eye-catching Tiffany and asked.

"Are you the mermaid princess who needs help?
God, I never thought that I would be able to help the mermaid princess one day. This experience even made me think that I was waking up from a fairy tale instead of crawling out of the devil's cave of Gotham. "

As he spoke, Fox took out a scanning device and scanned Tiffany's mechanical tail twice.

After two laps, a few flickering lights appeared in Fox's eyes, and he nodded involuntarily and said.

"What an interesting device. Its energy source... is only seawater.

Human energy is probably about to undergo a major revolution, and this revolution will be even more environmentally friendly and efficient than the small energy stack brought by Tony Stark!"
