Atop the golden crystal throne that was tens of yards away, Queen of Iceland Lilith the Sixteenth examined the Knight Arthur with a haughty and cold gaze.
She wore a gown of dazzling gold silk. Through the mist-like, lightweight silk dress, one could vaguely see golden scales, as well as the tail of a human fish formed from these beautiful scales.
The dazzling gold light dazzled people's eyes, as if the incomparably beautiful golden scales were the Queen's clothes, and the golden silk robe she was wearing was deliberately worn to conceal the extravagance of the golden scales.
She was so beautiful that even Arthur was stunned for a few seconds. The knight who has no feelings does not know what love is and what joy is, but he knows how to appreciate the beauty of the world.
Arthur pretended to be humble: "So the Queen knows such a lowly person like me? "
"Of course." "It is said that the Viking suffered an unprecedented defeat last month, and that it was the work of a mere knight. I've noticed you since then. A week ago, the Viking's three fleets disappeared for no reason. When they were found dead in the hands of the Knights and the corpses floating back to the Viking were still carved with the names of some Knights, I felt that I could not let you go at that point. "
The attack a month ago was my doing. I was just protecting myself." But the attack a week ago had nothing to do with me. "I met with an ambush from a Charm Demon. That Charm Demon controlled a large number of Viking, so I reckon that the attacking fleet was caused by the Charm Demon.
The Queen raised her hand and said savagely, "In any case, you are a knight in trouble, I am sure of that." "
"Did my question alone elicit a hostile consciousness in the Merman Race?" The Knight Arthur could not help but sneer, "If Her Majesty had intended to, you could have killed me in the blink of an eye. Why are there so many innocent people involved?" "
"Hmm, knight, you guessed wrong." I don't want you to die, I want you to live and complete a mission for me. "After this, you and your entourage are free to leave. I will not make things difficult for you again." "
"So the attack from the beginning to the end was all planned by Her Majesty?" "
"That's right. Although there were a lot of variables along the way, you overcame them and came before me, proving once again that you have the ability to accomplish the task that I've entrusted to you." said the Queen coldly.
"Your Majesty, please tell me." If it's the task I can do, I'll try to do it. Arthur tried to test the waters.
"You have no right to refuse, anyway." "Tomorrow, you will go to Greenland and take back the holy spear that we lost our Merman Race with." "
"The Sacred Spear is, um …" Holy Spear!? "
Yes, the golden trident, the treasure that the Sea Emperor left for the Merman Race." "A thousand years ago, the despicable Frost Giant designed to steal the holy spear, but the Merman Race and the frost Giant Race that used the ice magic could not harm each other at all. They still have the White Frost Dragon and Xian Wei to watch over them, so the war between the Merman Race and the frost Giant Race was in a stalemate for a thousand years. "T.
"Why not send the Viking?" They were all excellent warriors. Arthur questioned.
"He's an outstanding warrior, but he has a big head and no brains. He doesn't know how to use spells." "Without the help of magic, there is no way we can win against the White Frost Dragon. The dragon breath of Xianwei could freeze even time. "
"Freeze..." Time?! "
"Anyway, I'm counting on you." It's nothing, if you succeed, I can retrieve my clan's sacred artifact. If you fail, I will have one less future threat and no losses. "Are you going to do it or not?" "
"You want me to retrieve the holy spear for Merman Race, then use the power of the holy spear to invade Pantolacken!?" Arthur squinted his eyes suspiciously.
"Yes, and I have already said that you have no right to refuse." With a wave of his hand, the tents outside the hall were pulled apart. From afar, they could see Bedivere and Kai hanging upside down on the beams.
"A-Arthur!" Bedivere shouted.
"The pond below them is full of crystal sharks that have been starved for a hundred years," the Queen sneered. "With a wave of my finger, they will fall, and in half a minute, the crystal sharks will gnaw away at their bones." Your decision dictates the lives and deaths of these two people. "
"What an ancient method …." Arthur replied.
"Old but bloody." "I do not mind the occasional bloody spectacle." "
A drop of cold sweat seeped out from the corner of Arthur's forehead.
"If you understand, then …"
"What are you doing, Mother?!" Put Bedivere down! A young man suddenly came into contact with him.
"Tristan?" "What are you doing here!" Get back to your room! "
"I don't want to listen to you, Mother!" Idiot! "Put it down!" Put Bedivere down! What do you want to do with my friend!? "
"Friend?" There was a momentary look of surprise on the queen's face. "Don't mess around, Tristan. "How could these lowly humans be worthy of being your friends?"
"Lowly?" Arthur's face was ashen.
"Not a lowly human!" "Bedivere is my first true friend, my most important friend!" "
"Is that so?" The Queen's face returned to its former coldness. "Then there is no other way. It seems that I can only kill your friend." You should learn to be discreet and only be friends with people who are truly noble. "
"What?!" "
Before anyone could react, the Queen flicked her finger. A strong stream of Vacuum Wave shot out and directly cut off the rope binding Bedivere.
Waah!" The Werewolf Boy screamed and fell. He was about to fall into the shark pond.
"No!" For a moment, a miracle happened. Not only did the sharks in the pool not pounce over to bite Bedivere, they had even formed a circle and caught Bedivere who had fallen into the water.
"Betty!" "Stop!" Tristan shouted, as the sharks used their full strength to throw the Werewolf Boy out of the pond and into the air in front of Tristan.
Merman Boy steadily caught Bedivere. "Catch you, friend!" "
"Tristan …." Just as Bedivere was recovering from the shock, his vision went dark and he fainted.
"Okay, it's over." "Arthur took advantage of the chaos to get behind Tristan, and easily pulled out the dagger at the youth's waist, pressing it against Merman Boy's neck.
"Tristan!" "Let him go!" Queen of Iceland shouted as she stood up. She could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. If you hurt a single hair on his head, I will make you die a horrible death! "
"Your Majesty, aren't your Vacuum Wave impressive?" Why didn't you poke your finger through my forehead? Arthur faked the face of an evil person and laughed sinisterly.
"You …!" "
"Are you afraid of hurting your most precious baby just in case?" Arthur said.
"Don't be too proud!" Guard! cried the Queen. In reality, this shout was unnecessary, the Mermaid Guards had already surrounded Arthur and the others tightly.
"You can kill me, but before I die, I'll put all my strength on this guy's neck." Fishmen seem to be a very important rarity, don't they? My lowly life for the life of a Murlocs, it is worth it. Arthur said, "There really won't be any loss." "
"Bastard, bastard …!" The queen was so angry that she almost jumped up and down, but she restrained herself. "You, what do you want?" "
"I will keep my promise and help you get the holy spear back." But Her Majesty the Queen also requests that you agree to one condition, which is that you form an alliance with Pantolacken during your reign year. "
"You wish, knight!" said the Queen.
"It should be good for Your Majesty, but not bad." You have obtained the sacred spear that you yearned for day and night, and have also received military support from the Pantolacken. You guys have a grudge with the Frost Giant, so you're going to fight them, right? Would it be better to attack Greenland together with Pantolacken, or to fight against Pantolacken and Greenland at the same time?
If Your Majesty denies our request, in order to protect ourselves, we will have to form an alliance with the Frost Giant, and at that time, your Kingdom of Iceland will become a threat to your entire body. Is this really what Your Majesty wants to see? "
The Queen was stunned. "Knight, perhaps you are smarter than I thought." "
"It's just an ant trying to save itself." Arthur mocked.
"Very well, do as you suggest." "Now you can let go of Tristan."
I guarantee that you will leave safely. "
"Well, no." "Arthur said," If this guy wants to go with us, he'll need his strength to get the holy spear back. "
"What!?" "How dare you!" Human, do you really think that I will let you do as you wish!? "
"Want to drop it?" Then, let's pull him down. I will only wipe his neck … Arthur said emotionlessly.
"You lunatic!" The Queen was furious.
"Think about it, Your Majesty." How could the holy spear of Merman Race be recycled by such a lowly being as human! If the Prince Tristan was like him, it would be different. The lost thousand years of the Merman Race Holy Spear would be taken back by the young prince, and this must be a great opportunity to shock the entire nation, and let the Royal Highness establish his prestige? "
"Well said, but you want to hold the hostage all the time, knight!" the Queen said angrily, but her anger was fading.
"No one cares what the truth is." What the people cared about was a good story. It was just a heroic deed that they would talk about happily after the meal. Arthur said.
"This …." The Queen began to hesitate.
"It's no use, Knight." "Mother will not let me take the risk," Merman Boy Tristan said at this time. In her eyes, I would always be a little child that had yet to grow up. I would always need her protection. The old woman who had lived for more than five hundred years thought that she was very good at taking care of children. "
"Pfft." One of the merfolk guards at the side couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, I don't care!" "If there was one less hair on Tristan's head when he came back," the Queen said sullenly.
"Arthur, wait a moment and take me to get my hair cut. Tristan quickly said.
"You …!" "Well, you can do what you like!" This kind of willful prince, it would be best if he were to be swallowed whole by the White Frost Dragon, and never come back! "
Then, with a belly full of anger, the Queen turned around and walked away.
"I don't want to come back, silly Queen Mother!" The Merman Boy made a face.
"What are you guys doing …" Arthur looked helpless at the strange scene in front of him.
"Anyway," cried Kay, "can you put me down first, please?" "I feel a little bit of a rush of blood in my head --"
