Klayg nearly fainted on the spot!
Hey, hey, hey!
How was that not too much?
The bidding had already reached 4.5 billion! Were you trying to empty the treasury of the Fish Kingdom?
(????д??) "You may be handsome, but you sure have a pretty fantasy! No way. Ask for something else!"
Jiang Nan was stunned. ( ′?口?) "Seriously? I just want a fish. The Fish Kingdom won't even buy one for me?"
Klayg: !!!
But you wanted a freaking mermaid!
So that was what this was all about? I should never have made that bet with Jiang Nan!
"B-But that's a little too expensive!"
Jiang Nan chuckled. "That amount of money shouldn't be a big deal for a whole country, right?"
"Quit pretending. I'm sure you've figured it out, too. The mermaid has blue blood, just like Heidi, and her name is Alice? Atlas!"
"And the Fish Kingdom claims to be descended from the Ancient Lantis Kingdom. Alice must be a Lantian!"
Klayg's eye twitched.
Jiang Nan had the Fish Kingdom right where he wanted them. If there really was Lantis treasure, the Fish Kingdom definitely wouldn't pass it up!
"What are you getting at?"
Jiang Nan smiled. "It's just a win-win partnership! I'm fluent in the Lantis Ancient Language, so I can communicate with Alice."
"If everything goes smoothly, finding the Lantis treasure shouldn't be a problem. Then we can explore it together!"
"On one condition: the fish comes with me!"
Klayg narrowed his eyes. That was true!
Even if the Fish Kingdom's royal family were descendants of the Lantians, many records of the Lantis Ancient Language had been lost in the wars!
Even Sena wouldn't understand what the mermaid was saying!
Working with Jiang Nan wasn't a bad option.
After a moment's thought, he made up his mind.
