Chapter 752
"When we grow up, we can naturally learn to transform into a mermaid form. What's the problem?" a child asked.

"Of course there is." Poirot sighed and explained patiently: "The living environment of mermaids is limited, and there is almost no way to leave the Aurora Sea for a long time, but it is different when solidified as a human being."

"Although it will lose its affinity for water, its other attributes are stronger than other races of the same level. It is completely possible to leave this star field and go to other parts of the empire to study, live and work."

These are things that children never think about.Homar blinked and asked in a low voice, "You mean, we can...choose?"

"Yes." Poirot nodded earnestly: "The Empire has long promulgated a special decree targeting the mermaid race, giving various preferential treatment to those who are solidified into human images and are willing to study abroad."

"But we've never heard of it." Several boys replied in unison.

Poirot glanced at Roy, who looked thoughtful and said nothing.

Huomar thought for a while and broke the silence: "Actually, the outside world is too far away from us. My biggest dream in this life is to be able to rise to the fifth level and bring my family to settle in Haixin City—I heard that The houses there are all colorful and there are all kinds of games and toys.”

Poirot laughed, and his big eyes were curved, which made people feel good about him unconsciously.

"How old are you. There will be countless possibilities in the future, maybe you can try to make your dreams bigger and farther away."

The first ray of morning sun reflected in the sky, and the once noisy sea surface was as clear as a whole piece of colored glaze.

The old patriarch decided to hold a banquet to celebrate the successful end of the once-in-a-hundred-year Purple Moon, and he also thanked Shu Lang and the others for helping the clan.

All the people walked out of the stone castle.The adults are going to hunt at sea and prepare ingredients for the banquet, while the children happily rushed to the beach to pick up the gifts of the tide.

However, at this moment, a group of unexpected guests came to the island.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a big belly, followed by three or four entourages, and more than a dozen heavily armed guards.

Roy noticed that the words of the Police Department of the Black Wai Sea Area were painted on the hovercraft they were riding on.

The old patriarch hurried out with people to meet them.He obviously recognized the middle-aged man:

"I don't know that Mr. Hess is here, so please forgive me for being too far away." He bowed deeply, with an extremely humble attitude.

"Whether you welcome it or not is actually not important." Hess yawned: "It's just that the half-year period has passed, and the sea-related tax of your Black Rock Island should be handed over, right?"

As soon as his words fell, a entourage immediately stood up, opened an electronic light screen, and read the above content aloud:
"The island uses 5000 Mio coins for gold; 8000 Mio coins for the use of sea areas, 7000 Mio coins for illegal buildings on the sea, 11 Mio coins for marine life fishing tax, and 3000 Mio coins for public sharing fees in black-encircled sea areas. A total of [-] Mio coins in half a year."

"Old rules, you can transfer money, or you can use Aurora Beads to offset."

"This..." the old man's face was ashen, frowning: "My lord, you also know that the heavy purple moon has just passed, and the island has suffered heavy losses, including several young and strong mermaids. So, can this tax be extended for a few days?"

"Hehe." Hess sneered: "You are also an old man, you should know that this kind of opening must not be opened, otherwise we will not be able to manage the five mermaid lineages and hundreds of islands in the Heiwei sea area!"

"It is the obligation of every citizen of the empire to pay taxes and fees according to the law. I don't think you would want to try it, and resist the punishment of tax evasion, right?"

Poirot was already very angry when he heard this.He shook off Roy's hand and walked forward:

"You guys are talking nonsense! Since the Aurora Sea was merged into the empire's territory a hundred years ago, His Majesty has reduced all exorbitant taxes - the mermaid tribe lives on the island, and they don't need to pay a penny for catching marine life for family consumption! "

Although his voice was still immature, it was crisp and loud, which attracted everyone's attention, including Hess and his men.

"Where did the little brat come from to speak nonsense in public?" Hess glanced at Poirot, and inquired about his identity through the personal system by the way.

"It's a guest who passed by the island." The old patriarch explained: "He is still a child, and he just said something wrong for a while. You don't need to know him as an adult."

At this time, the system has fed back the identity information of Poirot and his party.

There was a gloomy smile on the corner of Hess's lips:

"Poirot, from Baiji Island in the Baiqi sea area, with your uncle Shu Lang and brother Roy."

"It's us. I also know your identity, Mr. Hess, the domain lord of the Black Wai Sea Area, is really a great authority!" Poirot greeted him without fear.

Hearing this, the smile on Hess' face deepened: "Young man, obviously your adults haven't taught you how to talk to superiors."

He raised his head, looked around the crowd, and landed on Shu Lang: "Leaving Baiqi sea area without approval, are you guilty?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was stunned.

The mermaids on Black Rock Island never expected that Shu Lang's uncle and nephew's trip had not been approved, and it was entirely a personal act!
You must know that the regulation of dividing the sea area and prohibiting the free movement of mermaids has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the past 20 years-everyone who tried to resist, all paid a high price.

Aurora Sea's star network is very expensive, but the live broadcasts of various punishments are shown free of charge, and residents over the age of six are required to watch, so even Homar is aware that something is wrong.

Shu Lang and the others thought of something else.How dare a small Aurora Sea restrict the free movement of citizens within the planet?How could such an unimaginable thing happen in the Mio Empire, a seventh-level civilization?
So when the guards stepped forward to arrest them, all three of them were extremely surprised.

"I admit that I really forgot to apply when I came out. But I have already reached the fifth level and meet the conditions to enter Haixin City, so there is no need for you to detain us, right?" Shu Lang who was pushed out explained.

"Detention? Are you kidding me?" A follower behind Hess jumped out and corrected him righteously: "You guys committed a capital crime, don't take chances!"

capital offense?The three of Shu Lang looked at each other, shocked by such a severe sentence.

Roy nodded invisibly, and Shu Lang closed his mouth knowingly, showing an expression of resignation.

Hess glanced at him contemptuously, and raised his chin: "It's only the fifth level, how dare you ignore the laws of the empire? Now that you have pleaded guilty, there is nothing more to say. Escort them to Haixin City and wait for trial .”

Seeing the strong man who dared to go into the sea to save people in the heavy purple moon, being put on the suspension vehicle without any resistance, it was also a warning to the mermaid tribe on the Black Rock Island.

The old patriarch sighed, collected [-]% of the tax, and begged the other party for another three days, and then sent Hess and his party away.

As soon as they left, the tears that Homar had held back for a long time fell down.

"Father, do you think Engong and Roy Polo will all be executed?"

"Homar." Holt's heart was full of pain: "Remember their names, this is the only thing we can do for them."
