The professor walked between the two and wrapped his tentacles around their arms. With the professor’s slight movement, the two were separated.
“Kiddo, you’d better not leave the professors room or I’ll definitely tear you to pieces.” The vicious merman glanced at the professor and swam out.
His thick fishtail left a puddle of water on the floor.
As Viola was ready to fight that vicious merman just now, the communicator’s projection on his arm disappeared.
The professor smiled and said to Morten, “Don’t mind him. Zagu is like that. He lost his family because of human invasion many years ago.”
‘Human invasion?’ Viola frowned.
That meant that many years ago, human beings had come into contact with the merfolk kingdom.
Did that mean that this method of liquefying energy had long been introduced into the human world?
However, he had never seen something like that on the market.
The octopus professor suddenly said, “Well, let me take you for a walk on my small island, and we can talk about your human technology.”
Viola nodded. He was not afraid that the merfolk would learn human technology.
As the most cutting-edge technology was controlled by each country or each royal family, the information that could be searched by using the communicator came from many years ago.
Before leaving, the professor’s two tentacles twitched, and a bubble appeared and enveloped Adrian.
“Don’t be afraid. I just came up with this method because you don’t like soaking in water,” The professor explained to Viola with a smile like a respected elder.
Viola smiled and indicated that he was not afraid.
He asked, “Professor, how do you practice? Even the guards have a seven-star level…”
Hearing Viola’s question, the professor was certain this was Viola’s first time coming to this underwater world.
He said with a smile, “We’re different from humans. Underwater creatures like me that can take on a human form have lived in the water for hundreds of years. Once we develop our intelligence, our practice speed will become faster. These powerful merpeople or underwater creatures you see have a lifespan of almost a thousand years.”
Viola finally understood.
Although everything had a spirit, these merfolk or underwater creatures could live to this day due to an accumulation of a long lifespan. Thus, their strength was also justifiable.
However, the professor sighed and said, “But compared to you humans, we’re still too weak. We were invaded many years ago. At that time, I thought that I could resist the invasion just by relying on my strong practice level, but your human technology actually prevented us from absorbing the energy of the underwater world…”
Needless to continue further, it must be because of that incident that the professor began to have a strong interest in human technology.
At this time, a small fish swam up to the professor.
The octopus professor seemed to understand what the little fish was saying.
His face changed slightly as he said to Morten, “Something has happened. I can’t stay with you any longer.”
Viola promptly expressed that the professor should take care of things first.
However, the moment the professor left, the vicious merman from before approached Adrian.
“Human, as I said before, as long as you come out, I’ll tear you to pieces.”
