Fortunately, Her Highness not only ate, but also prepared a lot of ingredients. Deep-sea fish and dryland sauces were mixed together, and the taste was simply indescribable. A documentary once said, "High-end ingredients often only require the simplest preparation..." and there's some truth to that. "The Panama Canal is a great place."
Upon arrival at the Panama Canal, the "830" cruise ship came to a stop.
Xu Fu took the two beauties to a nearby town to familiarize themselves with the local customs and culture. Mela, dressed in human clothes, was under the spotlight everywhere. Her appearance was very distinctive. Her fair and delicate skin had a faint glow, her bright red hair seemed to be burning with flames, and her figure was already amazing. Even in a loose shirt, you could feel the protrusion of her chest.
Such a person is practically a street machine; both men and women cast silent glances at her. In comparison, Xu Fu and Carol are not so conspicuous.
"Mera, if you lived in ancient times, you would surely be a scourge to humanity."
Xu Fu waved away a few unsuspecting "stylists" and said with a helpless expression.
What is a scourge?
"So beautiful that men love you and women envy you."
Mela giggled: "But I think Carol is prettier!"
Carol rolled her eyes silently. She was very confident in her looks and temperament, but she was helpless in the face of an exotic beauty like Mela. The temperament created by the sea was completely different from that of people on land, like a bottle of poison that firmly attracted everyone's attention.
Mela looked around and couldn't help but say.
"I've always wanted to ask you why you wear sunglasses. There's nothing wrong with you, Xu Fu, wearing sunglasses, but sticking on a beard and a wig? That makes you look like a wanted criminal!"
Recalling what he had done underwater, Mela thought it was quite possible.
Xu Fu coughed and was about to explain when a voice full of disgust reached his ears.
"Our young Mr. Xiao is no ordinary person. He is a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions, a figure of the year, and a diamond bachelor destined to become the world's richest man. Countless girls follow him and dream of sleeping with him. For example, that beautiful woman, that CEO of Tesla, works for him for free. How enviable!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fu shut his mouth without hesitation and quickly ran to the hotel front desk. Saying anything now would be wrong, and the more he said, the worse it would be, so it was better to say nothing.
Carol grinned as she watched him follow. Remembering the news from that morning, her heart clenched. Linda Danvers had actually called Xu Fu back to the company at the press conference, completely enraged, her words dripping with hurt. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had been bullied a lot.
Carol had heard rumors about the two, but didn't believe them: he had fought Linda and knew her physical strength.
Simply put, this woman is just a pile of iron; what man would be interested in steel?
Mela hesitated between the two, seemingly realizing something.
The three spent five days in Panama, enjoying themselves to the fullest, before continuing their journey.
Across the Panama Canal lies the world-famous Caribbean Sea, a region steeped in countless legends and a dream destination for island culture enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
There are many islands here, some poor and some rich, and for various reasons, they are teeming with criminals and speculators.
Upon arriving at this area, the two women had to put on coats to cover their beautiful bodies, but even so, they continued to be monitored.
Two local fishing boats followed behind the yacht, monitoring it with binoculars.
Xu Fu didn't want to provoke them, but they realized there was only one man and two women on board, so they signaled the maritime patrol team to stop.
Just then, a torpedo flew by, and the whole world became quiet.
"They seem to be calling themselves the Navy," Mela said, frowning.
Xu Fu rubbed his forehead and said with a hint of helplessness.
“In this region, there is no clear distinction between the navy and pirates; generally speaking, people with guns are not good people.”
Mela nodded understandingly. After spending some time on land, she discovered that the situation of the land dwellers wasn't as good as she had imagined: some places were very poor, while others were very rich; there were over a hundred countries alone, something unimaginable underwater.
Another point: there are no kings on land, and the ruling system in most countries is based on so-called political parties.
The Atlantic Ocean, which spans the Caribbean Sea, is the main territory of Atlantis, and the royal city is located in a depression in the middle of the Atlantic.
Shortly after arriving in the Atlantic, a group of Atlantean soldiers appeared on the yacht, put down a box, and then turned and left.
The box contained sixteen pieces of silver-gray metal, which shimmered with a watery sheen under the sunlight.
Xu Fu frowned, secretly noticing that Number 2 completed the task very quickly.
Mela looked up and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the metal.
"Poseidon's Cold Iron!"
Carol became curious: "What is Poseidon Cold Steel?"
Mela didn't answer. She picked up the metal and held it in her palm, feeling the change in the water flow. A look of intense shock flashed across her face...
"This is the first time I've ever seen such pure and cold Poseidon's Steel. Xu Fu, where... where did you get this kind of thing?"
Xu Fu lit a cigar and took a long puff.
“I made a bet with Prince Orm, and these metals are the stakes.”
"Om gave it to you?"
Xu Fu corrected him, "He lost them to me."
Mela shuddered, disbelieving this nonsense. Poseidon's Cold Iron was a rare and precious metal, a national strategic resource. Even if Om was stupid, he wouldn't accept such a thing as a wager. The two must have made some shady deal.
Carol asked doubtfully, "Is this metal very valuable?"
Myra shook her head, her expression unusually serious: "This cannot be measured in money. Poseidon's Frost Steel is a magical metal with an extremely high affinity for water molecules. For example, the trident we use has a small amount of Poseidon's Frost Steel added to it so that it can cause ocean currents."
"Besides manipulating water molecules, it also has extremely high hardness and strength, making it an unparalleled metamaterial."
"I have never seen such purity and quantity of Poseidon's Cold Iron. I really don't know what wind blew Chaim here, making him entrust such a precious item to you."
Chapter 1370 The Island of Legends
Like Amazonian metal, Neptune Steel is a supermetal, but it has certain limitations compared to Amazonian metal: it can only exert its power in the presence of water, and its power will be greatly reduced if there is no water.
Xu Fu plans to use it to manufacture Ghost 4 water-related armor.
After arriving in the Atlantic, life returned to square one. Every day, he would either lie in a chair drinking cold drinks and sunbathing, or swim in the deep sea with two beautiful women, shortening the time spent conceiving and designing Ghost 4. Until night, Carole would lie in bed like a big light bulb, faithfully pretending that she did not exist.
The pleasant life is so captivating that Xu Fu sometimes even wonders if he has gone to heaven.
Speaking of heaven, something suddenly came to mind.
"Mera, have you ever heard of the Amazons?"
Cough cough cough cough!
Princess Zebel, who was drinking juice, suddenly coughed violently.
How do you know about them?
"In myths and legends passed down through generations and in some books, it is said that the Amazons were an all-female tribe, each one exceptionally strong and valiant, who then suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons."
"The legacy of Atlantis has never been interrupted; there should be relevant records!"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just curious."
Mera thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "In our historical archives, there are indeed descriptions of the Amazons, but they are all negative. Due to differences in beliefs and cultures, the relationship between the two races was very bad, and wars broke out frequently. Later, the Amazons disappeared without a trace, and the records ended there."
Xu Fu smiled and said, "I have some information about the Amazons. Sixty years ago, an eagle plane got lost at sea and flew through a cloudy sky to a sunny island. Only women lived on the island, and they were all strong and healthy."
As he said this, he looked up at the sea.
"Based on the data left by the pilots, the legendary island should be located in this area of the sea."
Mela narrowed her eyes: "You don't want to go see it, do you?"
"why are you not going?"
Xu Fu spread his hands, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying, "Isn't an island with only women a paradise for men?"
Mela cursed inwardly: Men are all the same, always wanting more than they have. This was a phrase she had learned from Carol, and it couldn't be more fitting to describe men.
Xu Fu coughed and said, "Alright, enough joking. The reason I'm looking for that island is because of the metal. Amazon metal is like Poseidon's cold iron, a super material with magical properties. I'm going to use it to strengthen my levitation armor."
Mela asked, puzzled, "Your armor is already powerful enough, do you still need to strengthen it?"
"Power is only relative."
Xu Fu said seriously, "In the face of a true strongman, the floating armor has many weaknesses and is far from invincible."
Carol came up from behind, placed her fingers on Xu Fu's forehead, and gently pressed them.
"Being too strong isn't good either."
Xu Fu patted her hand: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Mela couldn't stand the couple's public displays of affection and coughed, saying, "You want me to help you find a legendary island."
"This island is shrouded in some kind of magic, invisible to the naked eye, only perceptible by feeling. The sea is the territory of Atlantis, I think you should have a way."
Mela thought for a moment, then propped her chin up with her hand.
"I can let the fish have a taste, but I can't guarantee it."
Xu Fu said gruffly, "If we succeed, I will forge armor for you, a super armor made from the cold iron of the Sea God."
Mira's mood shifted slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"You're such a bookworm."
After saying that, she turned and jumped into the sea.
Carol said helplessly, "Even if you don't say anything, she will still do her best."
