Hearing that, Philip immediately frowned. ‘Was that mighty being my mother? Had she ever set foot in this merfolk kingdom?’ He really had no way or no idea at all how to help the merfolk kingdom make a comeback! Seeing Philip’s attitude, the princess immediately prostrated on the floor. “I’m begging you. After so many years of being invaded by other sea creatures, we’ve lost all means to fight. If not for the professor’s ingenuity and wisdom to pull us through the difficult times, we might have lost even the last ray of hope.” Philip wanted to refuse, but at this moment, all the other merpeople of the merfolk kingdom swam over, prostrated on the floor, and begged. “Please save us. No matter what conditions you put forward, we’ll agree-even if you want our lives. Nothing else matters as long as our descendants can survive.” To display his loyalty, Zagu swam up to Philip. He held a fishbone knife tightly in his hand. “Prophet, if you’re blaming the whole merfolk kingdom for my rudeness to you earlier, I’m willing to atone for it with my death.” As he said this, he stabbed the fishbone knife into his stomach and kept sliding it downward. Philip promptly grabbed his hand. “I don’t blame you for your previous actions, and it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really don’t know how.” At this time, the professor walked over. He said to Philip, “Did you see a switch in the ancient ruin? As long as we can find the underwater spirit mine, we can open this ancient ruin again with the energy to power it.”
Philip immediately understood their idea. As long as they could open this ancient ruin, they could use all the magic circles in this ruin as they pleased. In this way, no matter what powerful underwater creatures turned up, they could put up a fight. On top of that, they could also rely on the protection of this ancient ruin to thrive here. “Well, since you’ve mentioned it, I’ll give it a try. However, the environment in this underwater world is complicated. Do you know the exact location of the spirit mine?” Philip asked. Smiles appeared on everyone’s faces at his words, and the professor took out a picture at this time. It was a picture engraved on an iron plate. “I’ve already found out where the spirit mine under the ruin is, but every milepost in the spirit mine is guarded by an underwater beast.” Philip immediately understood what he meant. They needed him to fight the guardian beasts of the spirit mine. “We can plan this out in detail, but I want to state my condition first. Regardless of whether I can help you open up the spirit mine, you must tell me the secret of liquefying energy.” Philip promptly laid down the groundwork, and all the merpeople of the merfolk kingdom looked at Philip with hopeful eyes. All of them hoped that their offspring could continue to flourish.”
