Cien Port is a coastal town located in Maine in the eastern United States.
At the "Kuri Lighthouse" on the seaside of the town, there lived Aquaman and his son...
In addition, Aquaman’s name is ‘Arthur Curry’, and his father’s name is ‘Tom Curry’.
It is obvious that the Curry Lighthouse is his family's ancestral property.
Although Aquaman Arthur is not rich, he is not a poor wretch either.
Curry Lighthouse is more than just a lighthouse. The nearby hills and land belong to their family.
Probably similar to the 'Kent family' who own a large farm, a middle-class family in the United States.
At this time, on the cliff 200 meters away from the Curry Lighthouse, Harry, Nereus, and Mela were looking side by side at the lighthouse in the distance.
"He is the great prince of Atlantis, the eldest son of Queen Atlanna of Atlantis. However, he is not the main cause of this land and sea conflict. He can at most be an inducement." Nereus said.
.
"why?"
"A month ago, the Neon Man secretly dumped 3,000 tons of Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea. Did you know?" Nereus said with a serious expression.
"Is this happening? It's on the news."
Harley stopped mid-sentence, and Nereus even told him the amount of nuclear wastewater, which was 80% correct.
"Nuclear wastewater is only part of the main cause." Nereus sighed: "In recent decades, with the rapid development of science and technology and economy on land, the damage to the natural environment, especially the ocean, has become increasingly serious.
We sea dwellers are hundreds of times more affected by water quality than those on land, and are even less resistant than most fish.
The seven kingdoms under the sea were all originally in human form, but you have seen their current situation.
The situation of the people of Atlantis is the best. Only 30% of the residents have fish-like "abnormal evolution". More than half of our Zebels have. Only the royal family and the nobles with noble blood can maintain the human form for generations.
Even the royal family of the Fishman Kingdom has 'evolved' fish tails and fins.
The saltwater country has become lobsters and crabs.
But are the fishman country and the saltwater country the worst?
No, the Trench Tribe of the Fifth Kingdom has truly degenerated from human beings into sea monsters, losing all their wisdom.
But the trench is still not the worst.
The ‘Lost Kingdom’ of the Sixth Kingdom, alas, it certainly wasn’t called this name at the beginning, but now it has disappeared in the long river of history.”
Nereus opened his hand to Harley and turned the back of his palm to show her, "Harley, what did you see?"
"Your hands are very white and your skin is well maintained." Harley said.
"Well, thank you, but what I want to emphasize is not skin quality. Have you noticed that the skin of people under the sea is different from that of people on land. Not only is it more delicate, but it also has a touch of mucus."
Harley's eyes widened and she didn't see any mucus.
Then she stretched out her hand and wiped it on Mei La's face.
"What are you doing?" Princess Zebel was shocked.
"Let me see if there is any mucus." Harry rubbed his fingers and shook his head: "There is no obvious wet mark. It is not as slippery as a fish, but more like the sweat of a land person."
"We are not fish!" Mela emphasized: "Of course we are not as sticky as fish."
"Okay, you have slime, now what?"
"Our skin is extremely sensitive to the quality of sea water. The Seven Kingdoms were originally one family, but there have been such big differences in just 20,000 years simply because of different environments.
So, think about how much ocean pollution affects us." Nereus said with a solemn expression.
"Well," Harley said thoughtfully, "So, the conflict between the people under the sea and the people on land does not stem from King Om's personal preferences."
"If Orm alone went crazy, the crisis would not have erupted at all. On the contrary, the fact is that Orm is not crazy, he is very rational, and he understands what kind of enemy he is about to face.
But he understands better that if nothing is done, the Trench Clan and the Lost Kingdom's present will be the future of the Atlanteans." Nereus looked into her eyes and said seriously.
Harry raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you a little moved too?"
Nereus' expression changed several times, but finally he simply nodded and said frankly: "It's not just my heartbeat, I totally agree with his concerns.
A month ago, the Neon people secretly dumped nuclear wastewater, and a week ago, a skin disease called ‘Zhanqingpao’ appeared in the Kingdom of Zebel.
Rice-sized blisters appear on the cheeks, backs of hands, armpits and other parts of the body. They itch unbearably and can lead to large-scale infection after being scratched.
In just three days, 3,000 citizens have been diagnosed.
This afternoon, academicians from Zebel Medical Academy have determined that this skin disease is related to nuclear wastewater.
Unfortunately, the dumped nuclear wastewater came to my kingdom along the ocean currents."
Mela also said: "This is not a special case. Medical research shows that in recent decades, the growth rate of pollution-related diseases among underwater people is comparable to the GDP growth rate of your country."
"Harley, what do you think we should do?" Nereus asked.
Harley spread her hands and said helplessly: "I can defeat powerful alien enemies, but I cannot solve the pollution caused by industrial development.
However, I will respect your choice.
Next, I will inform Washington and the United Nations, and leave the rest to you, people on land and under the sea, do whatever you want."
"What should we do?" Nereus frowned.
"In this way, you give me half a month. If the land people can't come up with a solution that satisfies you after half a month, you can do whatever you want. I won't help." Harley said.
Nereus was thoughtful and said in a deep voice: "Harry, do you think this will work? We, the undersea people, ask you to be our mediator."
The mediator is the middleman, and the middleman cannot try to sidestep the negotiation after it breaks down.
"Okay, I'll be the mediator."
Nereus breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute," Harley raised her chin toward Curry's lighthouse, "What role did Aquaman play in this incident?"
"Environmental pollution is indeed a big crisis, but being an enemy of you, the Justice League, the Justice Society and countless other heroes may cause an even greater crisis.
Therefore, some people think that Orm is crazy and unfit to rule Atlantis." Nereus said meaningfully.
Replace Orm with Arthur Curry to resolve the crisis of the land and sea war, and leave the environmental crisis to the future?
"What do you think? Support Orm, or do you believe in the great prince who is a land-sea hybrid?" Harley narrowed her eyes.
Nereus pursed his lips, "I only support one belief: Atlantis!"
The Atlantis he was talking about at this time was not Atlantis, one of the seven kingdoms, but the entire underwater race.
Harry watched Nereus and his daughter leave. They jumped directly into the sea, made a big splash, and swaggered toward the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
When she arrived, Mela was cautious, fearing that Orm's spies would discover that Orm was not a fool. After having an idea, she sent people to follow the coast of the United States, focusing on powerful superpowers.
"Hey, I underestimated you."
Harley chuckled and started running towards Gotham.
Well, run with your feet.
While running, he dialed the number of the caravan leader.
Wearing a wireless headset, he relayed to him the conversation he had just had with Nereus.
"Harry, what do you think? If the undersea people launch a full-scale attack, we can stop them, right?" the caravan leader said.
"I'm the mediator," Harley reminded.
"We have Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and the entire Green Lantern Corps. With the Green Lantern Corps, we can subdue the undersea people." The horse gang leader became excited.
"You haven't thought about peaceful negotiations to resolve the crisis?" Harley frowned.
"It's now August, and the White House will have to change its owner by the end of next year. Improving the marine environment is undoubtedly a huge project that consumes time, effort and capital.
In just one year, I may not be able to come up with a plan.
I put forward a plan, does Congress agree? What is the reaction of the League of Nations? The sovereign countries involved in the plan involve their fundamental interests, will they listen to me?
To put it bluntly, a direct fight is the simplest and cheapest way." The caravan leader said with a wry smile.
The next day, Hallie stared at the TV, but never waited for the White House press conference.
There is no news about people under the sea, environmental pollution, war, etc.
It was an uninvited guest that she was waiting for.
"Hello, Tenten Mountain King, I am Takehiko, the son of Izanami, and the brother of Kensu Susanoo no Mikoto."
He is a tall, brave man with fair skin and golden hair. He is very masculine, handsome and temperamental.
Harley stared at His face carefully and did not respond for a long time.
"King of Heavenly Mountain, what are you looking at?" Takehiko asked with a frown.
"Who is your father?" Harley asked.
There was a trace of hesitation in Takehiko's golden eyes, and he said vaguely: "Izanagi is my father."
"You don't look like Neon Man, or Izanagi with blond hair and golden eyes?" Harley said.
Seeing him, she thought of Lucifer inexplicably.
"King of Heaven Mountain, this visit is not to discuss my appearance." Xiongyan said solemnly.
"Are you here to pay back the money? There's no rush."
"Repay the money?" Takehiko was startled, shook his head and said: "I am here for my brother, Neon Thunder God, Susano-o no Ming!
Ever since he went to Shilipo and attended your auction, we haven't seen him again."
"Isn't it? Lucifer didn't kill anyone in the first place. He just took away his wings." Harry paused and her tone became uncertain, "Have you asked other gods? I was the first one to run away, so I didn't see clearly from behind.
."
When she said she was the first to run away, there was no trace of embarrassment on her face, and her tone did not change at all, which made the fake neon man opposite her look slightly sideways.
"It can be confirmed that respected Lord Lucifer did not harm Susan. Several gods saw him afterwards."
Dear Lord Lucifer, this title, this tone
Harley raised her eyebrows and said, "So, why did you come to me? Susan's disappearance could be related to anyone, except me.
Because Lucifer blocked the gate of heaven at that time, I didn't dare to go out for a long time, and later I took a detour to the dream dimension.
Both God and Mengjun can testify for me on this matter. The two supreme beings will never lie for the sake of a mere neon thunder god. What do you think?"
"This" Xiongyan was stunned, a little at a loss.
Before coming, he and the Neon Gods suspected that the witch Harley was causing trouble, because there was a blood feud between the two parties. If Harley knew their thoughts, she would be very disapproving, and they had no blood feud against her.
"You once said in public that the second personality 'Witch Harley' was robbed halfway." He said hesitantly.
"Please, your brother has been squeezed out by me a long time ago. Even the ribs and the jade pendant, the Yin jade paired with Qiong Magatama, have fallen into my hands. What am I robbing? That's right."
Harley took out a few bills from the War God's Seal and spread them out for him to see.
"He still owes me 816.2 million in heavenly meritorious goods, so I would murder him? I wish I could treat him like my biological father."
Takehiko only glanced at the contract and insisted: "But since he disappeared, others have no reason to harm him."
Harry shook the contract in his hand and asked: "When are you going to settle the account? 800 million is the money for the wings. I can erase the small change, as long as 800 million."
"We have to find Susana first. This is the contract he signed." Takehiko said.
"Could it be that you did him?" Harley looked suspicious.
