"You didn't mean to let the land people take the blame. Why did you suddenly make this decision?"
Challenge and killing are totally different concepts. Luke is king zebel's guest of honor. He can't explain to the king if he kills him.
In a deep voice,
"This is AUM's request, he gave us conditions that we can't refuse."
People were still puzzled. Although Prince om hated the land people, he would not give such an order from thousands of miles away.
Camille hesitated. "His highness ome has a grudge against that land man?"
"No
"Then why..."
Atnier's mouth turned up, unspeakable irony, "because he didn't want to repeat his father owax's withdrawal." After a pause, he continued in the puzzled eyes of the people,
"Do you remember the escape of Queen Atlantis 28 years ago?"
"Does it have anything to do with her majesty?"
"Of course."
Atnier sneered, "it's normal that you don't know about the Royal Scandal. Atlana, who was still a princess at that time, didn't want to listen to her father's arrangement to marry owax, the leader of the palace guard, and fled while the war broke out. For several years, outsiders only knew that Atlana had been hiding in the bottomless trench. In fact, she went to land."
"He not only went to the land, but also fell in love with a man from the land and gave birth to a son. The illegitimate son was om's half brother, who also had Atlantis royal blood."
Hiss!
The news was so strong that the fishermen were shocked and instinctively pricked up their ears.
"Because of this scandal, owax changed his temperament and became a famous maniac. Om also suffered a lot and hated the land people very much." At this point, atnier's fur rose, with a bit of schadenfreude, "owax is really a bad luck guy. He finally married the princess. Before he touched her, the princess ran away with the land people of low blood, and gave birth to a son, ha ha ha!!!!
Poor fellow, what can we do? The royal family will never allow the scandal to leak out. He can only bear it, wearing a big green hat and guarding her majesty who doesn't love him at all. "
"This incident left a deep psychological shadow on AUM. He would never allow himself to follow his father's old way."
Camille was shocked and said, "do you mean that his highness meyla and the land man may be..."
"Why not?"
Atnier said with a faint smile, "don't forget that Meila was raised by her majesty. She has been longing for land life since she was a child. She can also speak land language. Don't you find that she takes too much care of the land man and challenges me in public for him? Is that what a princess should do?"
"AUM has been following the alliance process secretly. How will he react when he learns that such a land man appears around Meila?"
"The father was taken green hat son by the land people, the son also wants to go the same way?"
In a word, people's mouths are pumping. They want to laugh, but they dare not. They can only hold back. There is no difference between regions and races in gossip, especially in Royal gossip.
Camille was the most calm and asked the most difficult questions,
"How do we kill the land man and send assassins?"
The fighting power of the land people can't be underestimated. It's almost impossible to kill him in a confrontation. The only way is to kill an assassin. But this is zebel's territory, and he has Princess guards around him. Even if he sends an assassin, he may not succeed.
Atnier shook his head slightly,
"Om has prepared for us. The day after tomorrow morning, a set of Poseidon prototype armor will arrive at the fort, which is the highest technology of Atlantis. With it, the land people are not rivals at all. Camille, it's up to you. You must succeed."
Camille saluted,
"You will not be disappointed, my Lord."
……
The challenge is getting closer and closer, but Luke has no sense of urgency,
Every day, I either travel with the two beauties in the deep sea, or taste all kinds of Atlantis food. I also have time to discuss the different cultural customs of the sea and land with Meila.
In the past two days, their relationship has developed rapidly, and they have become good friends.
Carol also prepared some land sauces for Meila. Sashimi has a special flavor with the sauce.
Unconsciously, time came to the third day.
In the central hall of the fortress, King Nereus of zebel stands on the throne, and on the left side stands Princess Meira, followed by the king's guard and princess's guard.Fishman and his party are standing at the bottom of the stairs. Luke and Carol are opposite them.
The room was filled with a repressive atmosphere. The people of the fishman nation were staring at Luke, especially Camille, with sharp eyes, like swords, trying to pierce him.
Challenge is the sacred tradition of Atlantis. It is related to life and death, higher than life and death. Even in the struggle for the throne, it will be solved by the way of challenge.
However, this kind of challenge is limited to Atlantis, and it is the first time that undersea people have fought with land people.
Compared with the prudence of Fishman country, Luke is very lazy. He covers his mouth and yawns from time to time. What he doesn't know is that he thought he was "all night" last night.
Meila hesitated, "father, don't you really stop it?"
Neros was silent, his eyes scanning the liquid metal ball suspended behind Luke from time to time.
Land man's armor?
It's like this!
Maria came forward and fell on one knee,
"Time is up, sire."
As he spoke, he blinked vaguely. Neros knew clearly that although he was not ashamed, he stood up, left the throne and swore to the statue of Poseidon,
"In accordance with the sacred tradition of Atlantis, I, King Nereus of zebel, will be the arbiter and witness of this battle, the guard, and open the battlefield."
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The people raised their weapons and roared. In the violent vibration, the floor of the hall slowly opened, and the high-temperature heat came to their faces. Below was a river of magma.
No wonder the fortress glows all the year round. It turns out that they are powered by the heat of magma.
There is a round stone pillar with a diameter of about 20 meters above the lava River, which should be the place to fight.
Carol was a little worried and couldn't help saying,
"Do you really want to do that?"
"Not last night."
Carol said with a bitter smile, "you are too brave. If you fail, Atlantis will hunt you down."
Luke burst out laughing,
"If you can't even deal with Atlantis, you deserve to be your man?"
The girl's face was embarrassed, and she couldn't help looking at him. She was both happy and helpless. "Well, I'll do as planned, Meila side..."
"She'll be fine, I promise you."
Carol doesn't say anything any more. She becomes a fighting form. She gets out of the bubble and floats in the sea.
As Luke raised his hand, the liquid metal ball spread up his fingers and became a floating armor that wrapped his body.
The invisible position swings around, and spider like cracks appear on the floor.
The guards could not help but take a breath. The floor of the hall was used to resist the magma, not to mention the water gun. Even if the heavy artillery hit it, it could not be broken. The people on the surface just stamped their feet and broke such a big crack.
"What a powerful force
Atnier murmured, then sneered, "but it's nothing compared to Poseidon archetype armor."
"Let's go! Camille, let the land people see the highest technology of Atlantis. "
