Hou Mohe continued: "The King of the Near Sea is from land, so he must be a little curious as to why there are so many human races living in this sea area, right?"
Lin Yi nodded: "I'm really curious."
Before that, he had always thought that the sea area was dominated by sea beasts, and even if there were human activities, they were only a handful.
But now it seems that although many of the masters encountered are indeed in the form of sea beasts, the ones who dominate are still pure-blooded human cultivators, which is very unexpected.
"In fact, at the beginning, there were not so many human beings in the sea area. For a long time, sea beasts were the main ones, which was chaotic and disorderly."
"Until the first batch of human criminals were exiled to the sea, they were lucky enough to get the favor of Lord Poseidon and gained the ability to survive in the sea."
"They became the earliest followers of Poseidon from then on, and it was from that time that Poseidon Temple began to take shape."
Hou Mohe suddenly paused and added: "The second Mrs. Xingqing is one of the earliest believers."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and the figure of the old woman flashed through his mind.
According to this statement, this Mrs. Qing is not only highly qualified, but also an old monster with a long history.
"Exiled criminals..."
This alone is enough to prove that the other party is by no means a kind-hearted person.
Hou Mohe continued: "As the number of believers increases, internal divisions inevitably occur, especially after the death of the previous generation of Poseidon, the sea area has entered an unprecedented era of chaos.
In the melee that lasted for thousands of years, the current power structure evolved step by step, and in order to distinguish themselves from the land humans, the sea people began to call themselves the sea people."
Lin Yi was suddenly stunned and asked: "What does this have to do with my offshore king?"
Hou Mohe glanced at him: "The Sea People are not the real Sea People after all. They are a race that was born cursed. Although they can live in the sea with the blessing of the Sea God, they still need to consume specific land resources regularly, otherwise their health will
will collapse.
But the problem is that, except for a very few powerful individuals, the sea people, like other sea people, cannot leave the sea.
In order to ensure stable access to land resources and balance the relationship between land and sea, the position of Offshore King was created.
This is the origin of the King of the Sea."
"I see."
Lin Yi's eyesight was really opened this time. He really didn't expect that the King of Offshore actually had such a connection.
Lin Yi turned to ask: "But since the offshore king has been vacant for so many years, how can the problem of land resources be solved?"
Hou Mohe looked at him with a deep look: "In recent years, the Qin family has been controlled by the royal families of the four seas. Because of its special abilities, the Qin family has also taken a share of the pie, so it has developed very fast. It is now known as
For the fifth royal family."
"No wonder the royal family of the Four Seas reacted so strongly. It turns out they were afraid that I would touch their cake."
Lin Yi reacted immediately.
Once any industry involves a monopoly, it will inevitably represent Tianhuo's interests, especially if the Royal Family of the Four Seas controls land resources. It can be said that they directly control the lifeline of the Sea People.
The benefits of this are huge and can be imagined.
Hou Mohe reminded: "If the King of the Sea just wants to hang out with an empty name, then it is not a big problem. No matter how arrogant the royal family of the Four Seas is, they will not dare to attack you blatantly. After all, you are the King of the Sea appointed by Lord Poseidon.
But if you want to take serious action, you have to be careful. The possibility that they will take risks in order to protect their vested interests is very high."
"learn."
Lin Yi thanked him somewhat unexpectedly.
This person is from the priestly line. Since he is sent to guide the priests, he must have the intention of being a high priest behind it.
As a potential enemy, the best thing to do is to use this opportunity to dig a hole for yourself, let yourself go dog-eat-dog with the royal family of the world, and quietly kill people with a borrowed knife.
Precisely because of this, Lin Yi listened carefully to every word of this person, but in fact he had a question mark in his heart, and he would never believe it rashly.
But now it seems that it is somewhat different from what was expected?
Hou Mohe suddenly stopped: "The King of Offshore may have doubts about me, I can understand, and I can tell you clearly that the high priest really wanted me to do something detrimental to you, but I refused."
"..."
This sudden frankness really caught Lin Yi off guard.
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly became playful, and he immediately revealed his cards. His guiding priest seemed to be a wonderful person.
"Can I ask the reason?"
Lin Yi took advantage of the situation.
Hou Mohe looked at him seriously: "My loyalty only belongs to Lord Poseidon, not to the high priest."
Lin Yi nodded: "This reason is reliable."
Hou Mohe shook his head indifferently: "Whether King Jinhai believes in it or not, I will use my actions to fulfill my duty. At least, I will be a qualified guiding priest."
Lin Yi's eyes became deeper and deeper: "Then I'll wait and see."
The Guiding Priest is the personal assistant of the King of Offshore, and is almost completely bound to him for life. What the other party said is basically equivalent to expressing his loyalty in person.
This loyalty is nominally loyalty to the God of the Sea, but in reality it is loyalty to him, the King of the Near Sea.
But if one day, this person knows that Poseidon has fallen, and that he died at his own hands, who knows what will happen?
The two walked in silence for a while and came to a palace on the edge of the building complex.
Although it is obviously much thinner than those core buildings, even so, it is still enough to instantly kill all the luxurious buildings in the outside world. Compared with it, the Duwang Palace of the Repeater School is only slightly better than the Doghouse.
"This is the King's Palace of the Sea. If you want, the King of the Sea can stay here permanently."
Hou Mohe led Lin Yi to look around, and the luxury inside was eye-opening again.
Apart from his initial surprise, Lin Yi had no other thoughts. Although the place was nice, he had a vague feeling like someone was watching everything secretly.
There is more than one of them.
This is not surprising, the high priest will definitely pay attention to his every move, and the other big figures in Poseidon Temple, including those top five who did not show up, will probably also be paying attention to his movements secretly.
It is foreseeable that, at least for the next period of time, he will be the focus of the entire Poseidon Temple.
However, Lin Yi did not mean to be secretive at all and asked directly: "Where is my personal guard camp?"
Hou Mohe was slightly startled, but did not show much surprise: "The guard camp is now managed by the Temple Guards. If the King of the Sea is willing, he can call them back now. They are just like me, they are the King of the Sea.
