"Damn it, what the hell is going on..."
Mera crawled out of the sunken reef pit. With her physical condition, she would not have died if she fell free from the cliff. At most, she would have suffered a sprain and some bruises.
She raised her hand to wipe the nosebleed from her lips, looked at the surrounding sea currents that were dispersing like an ebbing tide, and took a few tentative steps forward. An unbelievable scene occurred to her. The ocean in front of her automatically kept a certain distance from her.
When she takes a step, the sea takes a step back. When she takes a step back, the sea takes a step forward, refusing to have any form of contact with her.
Not only that, she tried to use the superpower to control water, but she got no response. Some unspeakable force blocked her connection with the sea water.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Mera's forehead. She thought calmly and came to the conclusion that she might not be able to run.
"Why, why do you want to pull me down too?"
Arthur climbed out of the pit tremblingly. His physical fitness was stronger than Mera's, and he didn't even have a bruise on his body. The reason why he suffered so badly was for Mera's good.
The incident happened again, and Arthur seemed to see Mera turning into a pig's head!
Therefore, he had to work hard to make a miserable fall, and maybe he was too careful to see him fall so badly, and he took pleasure in his misfortune and forgot about Mera.
"Arthur, is this the enemy's ability?"
Mera helped Arthur up and said solemnly: "Because of this ability, you failed to escape successfully, right?"
At the same time, Mera silently apologized in her heart. At first, she thought Arthur was a brave person who persisted even though he knew he couldn't do anything. As a result, he was beaten into a pig's head and couldn't even run away.
Now she understood that Arthur must have escaped and was captured alive due to lack of water and beaten twice.
How miserable!
"The enemy! Where is the enemy?"
Arthur tried his best to open his eyes wide, grinned his sausage mouth and complained: "You misunderstood, we are friends, we were just joking!"
"Are you kidding? This can be called a joke?"
Mera also widened her eyes and pointed at the face of the pig-headed hero of the Arthur orc tribe: "I believe my eyes. He hurt you and grabbed your neck to threaten you, forcing you to tell the story of Atlantis."
Si’s information.”
Is there any?
Arthur was silent, recalling that he was knocked down by Russell with a punch, and then grabbed his neck and questioned him. From the perspective of outsiders, this was really what happened.
He narrowed his eyes at the porcelain white necklace on Mera's chest, thinking about how to explain it so that he could not lose his style and elegance, but also make the girl understand that all this was a misunderstanding.
Arthur was a little embarrassed. After all, the objective fact of being beaten was before his eyes, and he couldn't save his face no matter how he explained it.
Russell is really a scammer!
After a while, Arthur asked quietly: "This...ma'am, I don't know your name yet."
"Mera Zebela Chara, I am the princess of the Zebela Kingdom. You can call me Mera."
"Mera!"
Arthur's expression remained unchanged, but deep inside his heart was surging. The throbbing coming from the depths of his soul made him feel like he was holding a thousand words in his chest, and wanted to use five thousand words of elegant poetry to sing his praises.
After holding it in for a long time, he decided not to say it. After all, saying, 'Damn, your name is so fucking nice' would only offend people.
This is what men are like. As long as a woman is good-looking, it doesn't matter what her name is. Even if she is "Li Goudan" or "Zhao Tiezhu", they can still impress her.
In the same way, Arthur has little education and only has octopus ink in his stomach, otherwise he could blow up Mera's name on the spot.
"Actually, my friend and I were really joking, but..."
Arthur glanced around a few times to make sure Russell hadn't come down yet. He raised his hand and placed it on his chest, then compared the distance between his thumb and index finger to a hair's length. Thinking that it wasn't appropriate, he narrowed it down a little.
"Do you understand?"
Mera seemed to understand, but suddenly her eyes lit up: "I understand, you said he is small-minded!"
Arthur: "..."
Can you please lower your voice? Fortunately, he is not around, otherwise...
"Arthur, do you think I'm petty?" Russell appeared behind Arthur in a shaky voice. He didn't know when he came.
"..."
Arthur stiffened his neck, turned his head mechanically, and his calves began to cramp again. He explained stiffly: "I didn't say that, it was..."
Arthur raised his hand and pointed at Mera, stayed for less than half a second, pointed at himself suddenly, and said with a look of death: "Yes, I said it. I said you are petty, and if you offend you, you will definitely turn into a pig's head."
"hehe!"
Russell sneered and glanced at Mera, secretly thinking that no wonder Arthur was willing to be a licking dog, this necklace is so white.
…
Five minutes later, Mera looked at the two people smoking next to them with confusion. She couldn't understand the friendship on land. The punches to the flesh felt like killing people. After the spanking, they could pat their buttocks and smoke together while standing side by side.
However, she has confirmed two things correctly.
The first one is that someone is really not big-minded.
Second, it seems that Arthur was beaten because of her involvement. This guy may be a joke, but he has no problem with his character, he is responsible, and he knows how to protect the lady from disaster.
If Russell knew Mera's thoughts, he would definitely sneer at her. Arthur has a lot of responsibility. Moreover, it wasn't love at first sight, he was just greedy.
After finishing smoking a cigarette, Russell raised his hand and waved to Mera, and after she got closer, he said: "I already understand the general outline of the matter. We have the same purpose, and we are ready to help Arthur ascend to the throne."
"You too?"
Mera was pleasantly surprised. With Russell's ability, if he sincerely helped Arthur, it would definitely be a big help, and countless lives would be saved from the ravages of war.
"You are Princess Mera of the Kingdom of Zebel. I call you Mera. Is that okay?"
"No problem!" The daughter from the sea has a cheerful personality.
"I'm Russell, you can call me that."
"Okay, Russell!"
(一`′一)
Looking at the two hands held together, Arthur always felt that something was wrong. Yes, the handshake took a bit too long.
He pretended to watch the sea pass between the two of them, broke the clasped hands, put his arm around Russell's shoulders, and whispered: "Man, I came first."
"No, it wasn't you, nor me. It was your brother Om who came first."
"Om?"
Arthur's breath stagnated, and he felt that the sky was getting dark, and he said in despair: "You mean, Mera is my younger brother and sister?"
"Theoretically it's true, because they are already engaged."
"oh!"
After hearing Russell's words, Arthur's interest waned and he found everything he looked at boring. Even the necklace on Mera's chest was not as eye-catching as it was at first.
Russell smiled contemptuously and scolded Arthur in front of Mera: "You got cold feet when you heard that they were engaged?"
"No, this is not about engagement, but that I can't..."
"You can't?"
"..."
Russell sneered, put his arm around Arthur's shoulders, pointed at the person involved, Mera, and said, "It's just a political marriage. She doesn't like Orm herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't come to you."
"What's the meaning?"
Arthur's brows trembled and he found that the sky was turning cloudy and had a tendency to become sunny.
"hehe."
Being pointed at like a commodity, Mera folded her arms and watched quietly as the two continued to perform.
Russell said: "The two countries have formed an alliance. The princess of the Kingdom of Zebel is going to marry the king of Atlantis. Mera feels that Orm is not a person worthy of being entrusted with life, so let's see what virtues you, the eldest son of the queen, have."
Arthur's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said excitedly: "So?"
Russell patted Arthur on the shoulder: "After my unremitting efforts, I wiped out all Mera's good feelings towards you. She found that you are not even as good as Orm, that's it."
"..."
When Arthur heard this, he looked at Mera in shock, and received a roll of the eyes and the back of his head. He was so angry that he turned his head and glared at Russell, as if he wanted to eat someone.
"Um?"
"..."
Arthur scratched his head and his eyes instantly changed to eating kelp.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter who she likes. It's not a princess's turn to make decisions about matters between countries. Otherwise, she will cancel the engagement directly instead of coming to try her luck with you."
Russell comforted: "Arthur, it is natural for men to like women. You just covet her beauty. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I also...I can see it."
(?_?)x2
"Time is tight now. I don't have time to talk about love and increase your favorability. There is still time to talk about it after you get married."
After Russell finished speaking to Arthur, he turned around and looked at Mera who was very angry: "Your Highness, when Arthur becomes king, he can prevent the war between the sea and the land. Don't blame me for making trouble against you. For the sake of justice, you made a small sacrifice.
It doesn’t matter if you do it for a while.”
"Besides, you have also seen that Arthur is not very smart. Being his queen is much better than being Orm's queen. In the future, you can use some tricks to listen to politics behind the curtain and turn Atlantis into
Chengzebel Kingdom Branch, isn’t this political marriage sweet?”
"..."
Arthur felt that the world was spinning and his love was gone. It turned out that the cloudy weather was not because the sky was about to clear up, but because a solar storm was coming.
"Bah! Shameless. Even if I die, I will never agree to this dirty deal."
As expected, Mera's attitude was very determined.
Arthur's vision went dark and he almost fainted. At this time, Russell stretched out his big hand and pulled him back: "Arthur, her opinion is not important. As long as you become the king of Atlantis, the Kingdom of Zebel will be the king of Atlantis."
I will also tie her to your palace. Now tell me loudly, do you want to become the king of Atlantis and seize the throne of your brother and his fiancée?"
"..."
Damn, who dares to say this?
"Looking at how cowardly you are, you don't even dare to do this, and you still say you are greedy for her body."
Russell snorted and sneered, and used his trump card: "It doesn't matter if you disagree, I have a backup candidate."
Arthur: "..."
Could that person be you?
"That's right, just like you thought, that person is me!"
Russell said righteously: "For the sake of peace on the ocean and land, and for thousands of families to be protected from the slaughter of war, I want to become the king of Atlantis, even if it is through the bloodiest and most violent means, I will be there."
No matter what."
"Falling into darkness and guarding the light, this is what I, a superhero, believe in!"
"Wait a minute, buddy, you're not right!"
Arthur hurriedly stopped: "Look, I became the king of Atlantis to steal my brother's throne and woman. You became the king of Atlantis just for the sake of world peace and fell into darkness. I
I think what you said is wrong!"
You're taking two steps, that's it!
Russell snorted coldly: "Don't make excuses. It's you who cherishes feathers. I don't want to say any more unnecessary words. For the sake of world peace, I will be the king of Atlantis."
"How can that be done!"
