I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1185 - 1086: Sea Eye and the Tidal Realm

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing the situation recounted by Leon, the Taurus director was instantly taken aback.

"The sea floor is starting to freeze? And not just a small area, but the whole sea is beginning to freeze?"

"Yes."

Picking up the map marked by Miss Saltfish and comparing it with the freshly inked areas, Leon quickly supplemented:

"Primarily centered around the Central Sea separating the two continents, near the East and West Kalendar Kingdom, Kingdom of Morna, Refractive Kingdom, Witch Kingdom, a total of seventeen large ocean areas are exhibiting varying degrees of freezing phenomenon at their bottoms.

However, according to the Sea Race, the freezing in these areas is not entirely from bottom to top, but from 'far' to 'near' as the two continents serve as the reference line for freezing."

"From far to near means..."

"It means the areas closer to land have lighter freezing, while the further away from land, the more severe the freezing at the bottom sea."

After explaining the situation that came from Miss Saltfish, Leon marked similar levels of freezing on the map and connected them with lines, then observed the irregular circles on the map with a bit of uncertainty:

"Or you could say, it's not that the freezing is lighter closer to land, but rather the closer to the center of Central Sea, the more severe the freezing is."

After hearing his words, the Taurus director immediately reacted, urgently asking:

"So you think the source of the freezing might be in the core location of the Central Sea?"

"Quite likely."

After drawing several circles on the map with his hand to roughly pin down the center of the "Ice Circle", Leon slightly furrowed his brows and then asked:

"Lord Taurus, I remember that the entrance and exit to the Tidal Realm established by the Sea Race should be near the eye of the sea at the center of the Central Sea, right?"

"Correct."

Nodding slightly, the Taurus director also noticed this irrational situation and simultaneously furrowed his brows.

So the source of this ocean freezing is likely tied to the Tidal Realm controlled by the Sea Race? Could the Sea Race have caused it directly?

The issue is, compared to humans dwelling on land, the Sea Race is actually the biggest victim of the ocean freezing. If they were indeed responsible, what was their purpose? Surely, they wouldn't create trouble for themselves?

"Leon."

The Taurus director pondered, watching Leon, who had a furrowed brow in the Celestial Globe Mirror, then tentatively asked:

"When you were communicating with Her Majesty Wendy, did you notice her soul state?"

"I watched throughout."

Recognizing the suspicion behind the Taurus director's question, Leon directly stated:

"Both her soul and Heart Lake were very clear, showing no signs of deception, so she genuinely doesn't know the cause of the sea floor freezing, but this can only prove her information doesn't include these, not that the entire Sea Race is unaware."

So, even though the Sea Race is also a victim, they are still quite suspicious?

After reaching some consensus with Leon regarding the potential issue with the Sea Race, the Taurus director thought for a moment before speaking:

"Leon, I remember you mentioned before that Her Majesty Wendy is actually a mixed-race mermaid?"

"Yes."

Leon nodded and briefly recounted what he had asked:

"According to Her Majesty Wendy, her father is a branch of the Sai Ao Royal Family, and her mother is from the 'Whirlpool' lineage among the ten descendants of the Grand Court Mermaids.

Moreover, although she didn't tell me, considering how other Sea Race members treat her mixed heritage, her mother's status within the 'Whirlpool' lineage is probably high, likely a direct descendant of the whirlpool leader."

The direct lineage of the ten descendants of the Grand Court?

Upon hearing this, the Taurus director pondered briefly, then suddenly brightened up.

"Given her mother's high status, have you tried…"

"She's already gone."

"Ah???"

Facing the bewildered expression in the Celestial Globe Mirror, Leon explained helplessly:

"I haven't had the chance to tell you... Earlier, Her Majesty Wendy confessed the situation to me and marked the freezing areas on the map. I wanted to try contacting her mother to see if I could inquire more information.

But as I rushed back to the port and approached their ship with Her Majesty Wendy, a scream erupted from the ship and then it vanished in a flash."

"..."

"And it wasn't just the ship."

Glancing at the necklace tossed beside the table, Leon continued with a strained expression:

"At the moment when that shell ship disappeared, the necklace that Her Majesty Wendy wore suddenly cracked open, spilling some seawater from inside.

And upon contacting the seawater within the necklace, Her Majesty Wendy vanished along with the shell ship, leaving only a puddle of seawater comparable to her size behind."

"..."

So… did she and her mother just flee right in front of you? Why didn't you stop them?

"I couldn't stop them; it must be a 'displacement' type of abnormal item, which swaps places with another part of the sea water upon contact, and the activation is rapid, instantly enveloping her entire body."
