The ministers all agreed, and Perseus' hand holding the throne trembled slightly. Finally, he closed his eyes in pain and said, "Let the queen come."
When things have developed to this point, it is no longer something that Perseus can stop. Even if he doesn't let the queen come, the ministers of the snake-haired clan will probably put pressure on Perseus to open the blockade and notify the queen.
.
But it is strange to say that in the past, when Perseus was seriously ill, Fakis would often preside over the morning court. Occasionally, when Perseus would be present, Fakis would listen to the government together with him. Why was Fakis absent today?
Perseus originally wanted to find a mermaid guard from the Naga tribe to inform the queen to come over, but the prime minister, the snake-haired deputy chief who holds the real power, had already taken it upon himself to order: "Shulton, go and call the queen over."
Sholton is a golden-armored guard from the snake-haired clan. The golden-armored guards are all powerful men of level 2 or above. They have a very high status among the royal guards. They are usually only used to defend the main palace and the king's palace.
Prime Minister Hughes turned his back to Perseus and Siren and winked at Sholton, meaning that he wanted him to make a small report to the Queen first and give the Queen some time to prepare.
This is an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. As long as this is done well, promotion will be just around the corner.
Sholton was very excited, and the dark blue fish's face turned a little red. He turned around and left in a hurry. He swam faster and faster due to excitement along the way, and when he turned another corner, he saw the Queen's Palace.
However, just when he cleared his throat and was about to shout, a black heavy sword penetrated his throat.
Break armor, kill instantly.
He didn't even make a sound and fell down directly.
Gu Nansheng looked at his pocket watch and shook his head slightly. The time was really accurate.
Siren said at that time that at about 5:10 in the morning, a guard wearing golden armor would come to this corner. It was 90% likely that he was a guard from the snake-haired clan. The most obvious sign was that he had a gold medal on his waist.
, it says "Main Hall" above.
When the time comes, all Gu Nansheng needs to do is kill him.
In the palace, the guards of different palaces will have corresponding gold medals. Coupled with the time limit, the Siren is not afraid of Gu Nansheng killing the wrong person.
The second-level powerhouse was considered a master among the Naga tribe, but he couldn't take a single sword from Gu Nansheng's hand.
Gu Nansheng bent down to pick up the Life Gem and stuffed the body of the golden-armored guard inside. He also used the Life Gem to sneak into the palace. He first swam above the palace, then entered the Life Gem, and then allowed the gem to naturally settle into the palace.
Now is the period of martial law. All five thousand Naga royal guards have given up their rest and concentrated on patrolling the palace. Even with Gu Nansheng's strength, it is not easy to sneak in now. This method is much safer. The light on the seabed is very dark. In the early morning
It's even darker at five o'clock, so no one will notice.
Time passed little by little, and the people in the hall had been waiting for nearly an hour, but Faqis did not come.
It's only ten minutes from the queen's palace to the main hall, and it takes a total of twenty minutes to go there and back. Even if Fakis hasn't gotten up when the guards go, plus twenty minutes to wash and change clothes, it should be here now.
Perseus frowned more and more. Fakis had delayed it for so long. No need to ask, she must be preparing some conspiracy to deal with the sirens. "Lonrith, come and take a look." Perseus said to the person next to him.
The royal guard said.
Ronglis has always been loyal to Perseus, so the snake-haired minister was naturally worried that he would follow him, "Your Majesty, the queen was frightened last night and was not in good health. It is inevitable that she rested a little late today. It is still inconvenient to disturb the queen over the years.
The Queen is so worried about the Naga Kingdom, I think "
"Okay, okay" Perseus waved his hand, took the handkerchief and covered his mouth and coughed a few times, Siren, Siren, what on earth are you going to do?...
The siren has been standing in the hall with an expressionless face, the water flow caressing her beautiful tail fin, swaying like petals dancing in the wind.
None of the ministers knew that Faqis was not in the palace at all now. She secretly left the palace to get the Lincoln Stone and was on her way back.
How could Fakisi miss the morning pilgrimage? Besides, today’s morning pilgrimage is so important!
With the Lincoln Stone in hand, Faqis's reputation will reach its peak through today's morning meeting.
So even if today's morning court ends early, Fakis will summon the ministers back to attend the court again!
She will take this opportunity to take complete control of the Naga Kingdom, and even use the Lincoln Stone to put pressure on her and use the excuse of killing Medusa to allow the prince to ascend the throne early.
Therefore, Gu Nansheng didn't need to notify Faqis at all, he just had to wait.
It's a pity that Gu Nansheng's height is too different from that of a Naga fishman or a snake-haired warrior, otherwise he could have sneaked into the morning palace openly by wearing the golden armor of the unlucky dead guard.
The main hall was too heavily guarded in the morning. There were 700 Naga Royal Guards who knew how to shoot ice arrows gathered in a total of thousands of square meters. They were divided into five teams to patrol, strictly guarding the five directions of east, west, south, north and directly above. Even if they wanted to swim into a small
Not even fish.
Gu Nansheng held Frostmourne in his arms and squinted his eyes as he watched a group of Naga royal guards roaming around the hall in the distance. At this time, a trace of energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in the Eye of Sargeras' vision.
Fakis was wearing a military uniform, and the tailor-made silver armor perfectly outlined her slim and charming figure. She was very proud of herself at this time, and the appearance of Medusa actually helped her. Otherwise, she would not have known about Perseus.
How long can the old and immortal survive?
She swam to the side entrance of the palace, and the guarding Naga soldiers knelt down to greet her.
So far, the group of Naga guards sent by Faqis to assassinate Siren have not sent back any news that the mission has been completed, which makes her somewhat uneasy.
But Siren is just a weak woman, and it is expected that she will not be able to cause any trouble. The most important thing is to use the Lincoln Stone to inherit the throne as soon as possible.
Fakis did not change into court clothes, but directly wore armor and rushed to the morning court hall.
"The Queen is here!"
Following the guard's announcement, the imperial court, which had been busy with discussions, suddenly became silent, and all civil and military officials also stood in their respective positions.
Perseus pinched his handkerchief, feeling angry and worried in his heart, but the ministers looked happy, while the Siren always had a calm face.
Faqis, who didn't understand the situation at all, walked into the hall. When she was about to sit on the throne, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the Siren standing in the center of the hall. She was looking at her quietly, with a look in her eyes that only belonged to the superior.
of mercy.
Fakis' expression changed. Wasn't Siren supposed to be in Sicily now and was assassinated by the Naga bodyguards she sent? How could she appear here?
Moreover, with her status as a criminal, how could she stand here openly?
Faqis felt a chill in her heart, and her intuition told her that there must be something she had missed, and that she had fallen into a trap.
"What's going on?" She asked Prime Minister Hughes using magic transmission.
Hughes was stunned, "Shulton didn't tell you the situation?"
"What about Shelton? I just returned to the palace and I haven't seen him at all."
Hughes was a little panicked. If Sholton had not seen the queen, he should have gone back to the main hall to report. How could he never return? Did he encounter something unexpected?
There are currently five thousand Naga guards in the palace under martial law. The person who can sneak into the palace and kill Shulton under such circumstances must be a strong man of level 4 or above.
Moreover, Sholton himself is a second-level powerhouse. The killer could actually kill him without alerting anyone. It must have been a one-shot kill...
Now there are only two people in the entire Eternal Vortex with such powerful strength, and that is Medusa and the mysterious black-haired young man.
Hughes shuddered when he thought of this. Could it be that Medusa and the black-haired young man were the Siren's accomplices?
Hughes used magic transmission to quickly tell Fakis his speculations and what had happened before. Fakis's heart shrank and his face suddenly became ugly.
If this is the case, no wonder the thirty Naga guards she sent have not sent back any news yet.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Siren. You are such a resourceful little girl. I really underestimated you.
"Hughes, you send someone to call the prince here, and then call on 300 to 600 royal guards to win over Tide Marshal Leviathan and several other legendary heroes. In short, call everyone you can. This time Siren
She must have come prepared, I'm afraid it won't end well. We have to kill her before she shows her trump card!"
When Fakis said this, his expression showed murderous intent.
Prime Minister Hughes was embarrassed and said through magic: "The Queen, Leviathan, Slada and other legendary heroes have always been neutral in government affairs. Although they are nominally ministers of the kingdom, their status is transcendent, so it is difficult to call them
To move them, among the ten legendary heroes of the kingdom, only Bella, the priest of the abyss, and Gao Ge, the commander of the third legion, are our people, but they have "
Faqis was shocked. Yes, two legendary heroes of the snake-haired clan died in the battle a few hours ago. This is definitely not a coincidence.
Siren
Fakis gritted his teeth and looked at Siren with eyes filled with hatred.
But why did Siren deliberately show his flaws?
If she doesn't kill Shelton who is sending the message, then she can hide her trump card very well, show her weakness to the enemy, and kill her with one blow.
The conversation between Fakis and Hughes was carried out through magical sound transmission. Although they talked a lot, only half a minute actually passed.
Perseus looked at the triumphant Fakis, and his heart was full of anger. He wanted to cut this woman into pieces, but he was no longer the all-powerful King of the Sea.
He glanced at Siren feebly and said, "Say what Siren has to say."
Siren smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I think the prime minister has just told the Queen the whole story through magic transmission. You should ask the Queen if there is anything else you want to say?"
"Humph!" Fakis shook his arm, "That's nonsense!"
"Siren, you escaped from the Tidal Prison in Sicily privately and used some tricks to frame me. You should be punished for your crime!"
Siren glanced sideways at Faqis, with a bit of contempt in her eyes. She said unhurriedly: "Queen, you said I framed you? Could it be that I faked your voice?"
"You Naga Sirens are proficient in music, so changing your own voice is not easy!"
After Fakis finished speaking, Prime Minister Hughes stood up and said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, the evidence is now irrefutable. Siren escaped from prison and framed the queen, and he should be hanged."
Is there a mountain of ironclad evidence? Where is the ironclad evidence? Fakis defended himself, and this was considered ironclad evidence? Siren sneered, and she looked at Hughes as if she were looking at a clown.
However, the IQ of the ministers seemed to have dropped to zero in an instant, and they all agreed with the prime minister's words.
"The Prime Minister is right."
"It makes sense."
"The queen is wise."
"The siren offended the mother of the country and shall be sentenced to Lingchi."
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it down. The ministers in the first hall fell into the pit and added insult to injury to show their loyalty. Siren's crime was also upgraded from hanging to hanging.
Only a few senators loyal to Perseus remained silent. How could Duckweed have the ability to change the direction of the water flow?
The Siren remembered all the appearances of these courtiers, and the silence they showed at this time actually offended Faqis...
"The facts of the case have been clarified, and now I ask Your Majesty to pronounce the verdict."
"Your Majesty, here comes the verdict. Now that the country is in crisis, it is fundamental to stabilize the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the Queen is allowed to suffer unjust injustice at this time, it will only chill the hearts of the soldiers."
The ministers' speeches were more "righteous" than the last, and Perseus was trembling with anger. Do these slaves who act according to the circumstances still see him as the King of the Sea in their eyes?
After the discussion of the ministers stopped, Siren slowly walked to the front of the palace and said, "Queen, you did not come to court today to be judged. If Siren guessed correctly, you are wearing a military uniform today to show the world that you have the Lincoln Stone."
, intending to lead the three armies to surrender Medusa and leave his great achievements in the history books. Why haven't you taken out the Lincoln Stone yet?"
Fakis was shocked and his expression changed continuously, "What is Lincoln's Stone? I don't know!"
Immediately, she felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so she changed the topic and said: "I have now sent the Naga army to search for the Lincoln Stone. I believe they will find it soon!"
At this time, the minister of the DPRK remembered the recording just now——
"Don't you want the Lincoln Stone?"
"The Stone of Lincoln? Don't talk nonsense. How could you have the Stone of Lincoln? How could Medusa not take this with her when she came out of prison?"
"Do you think I might have the Lincoln Stone with me? If I were afraid of your methods, I wouldn't be here today. If you do it, you will never find it again in your life."
"What exactly do you want?"
"What can you give me? I ask you for the throne, are you willing to give it to me?"
"That's impossible."
"I want your Gorgon clan's summoning artifact—the dragon's blood."
"Okay, I can give it to you, but I have to see the Lincoln Stone first."
Even if Fakis really sent out an army to look for it, how could it be possible to find a tiny stone in the vast sea in just a few hours?
In other words, if Faqis now has the Lincoln Stone, it would prove that this recording is authentic.
Siren smiled slightly and said, "I wonder which army the Queen sent? Do they have their numbers? Which general did she send? Do they have their names?"
Siren's words are forceful. If Faqis starts to make up nonsense, her lie can be exposed by just examining the current positions of the army and generals she told.
Fakis became angry and said, "Siren, how brave are you! Do I still need to report to you for my work?"
Fakis had to use the Queen's airs to suppress people. Siren did not insist on this point anymore, but said word by word: "Queen, I wonder if you can open your inventory so that
Let’s see if the Lincoln Stone is among them?”
"You siren, you are so presumptuous! The items in my inventory involve state secrets, how can I show them to you, a prisoner!"
Faqis's voice was stern, but she obviously lacked confidence. She finally understood why Siren wanted to kill Shulton and exposed her trump card.
Siren was afraid that when Shelton arrived at Faqis's palace and found that the Queen was not there, he used the communication crystal to find Faqis and informed her to be ready. In this way, Faqis would hide the Lincoln Stone before coming to the main hall.
stand up.
Although the results of the trial were pale and feeble in the face of Faqis's absolute power, this was a victory that the Siren must regain.
What she wants is not only the throne, but also the revenge of seven years!
To clear the name for herself, and even more so for her mother who died unjustly!
For this reason, she did not hesitate to risk the failure of her trump card plan. How can those who are free in the outside world understand the loneliness and despair of Tidal Prison, and how can they understand the pain caused by seven years of injustice?
Fakis refused to open the inventory, and none of the soldiers present dared to search...
The ministers present were not fools. They understood that Fakis had already lost this court case. If it were not for her overwhelming power, she would have been sentenced to death by Perseus.
"Really?" Siren still had an indifferent smile on his face, "Then, Queen, you don't know this."
Siren took out a necklace from the inventory. The chain made of mithril was hung with a blue gem - dragon's blood.
"The dragon's blood, the sacred object of the snake-haired clan, Fakis, can you explain why it is in my hands?"
"Siren, how dare you steal our clan's sacred objects? How dare you call me by my name?" Fakis's face has turned the color of pig liver. Up to now, she has completely lost.
How could the Siren steal the dragon's blood from the second-level powerhouse Faqis in the heavily guarded palace? Even Prime Minister Hughes didn't believe this lie. It simply insulted everyone's intelligence.
"Stealing? Hahaha, do you really think highly of me, or do you despise yourself? How dare you tell such a clumsy lie."
"Even a child knows that stolen equipment will not be unbound. To unbind it, you have to kill the original owner of the item, or the original owner is willing to give it to you."
"The dragon's blood in my hand has been unbound. If you didn't give it voluntarily, then is the Faqis standing in front of me now a corpse?"
Siren's words were heart-wrenching, and Faqis was so angry that he was shaking all over, "Someone, push this perverse siren out of the palace and kill him!"
"That's enough!" Perseus slapped the table and stood up, "Fakis! You vicious woman! You have harmed the entire Naga Kingdom for your own selfish desires. You must not be punished!"
Fakis trembled and turned to look at Perseus blankly, "Your Majesty, you don't believe me?"
Seeing Fakis' hypocritical face, Perseus turned pale with anger and his voice trembled, "Someone, execute this woman on the spot!"
