Leaving aside the outside world, the situation at the bottom of the sea is not good.
Because now someone has linked the Dark Trident to the theft of Orichalcum.
Strictly speaking, Atlantis is not a paradise. It is also a large society. Although in terms of total population, Haitians are far behind people on land, the major kingdoms under the sea have a combined population of two to three billion.
, with so many people together, there should be a lot of things going wrong.
Atlantis was not without crime.
However, at this point in time, there are only two major events happening in the entire underwater world.
One is the Dark Trident.
The second is the theft of orichalcum.
Although there is no evidence that there is any connection between the two, the timing happened too coincidental. The Dark Trident appeared in the front and the orichalcum was stolen in the back, so people had to connect the two.
The key is that the news of the destruction of the Mediterranean outpost also came back!
"Your Majesty the Queen! Please tell us honestly, where is His Highness Aum? Is he still serving his sentence in the Quicksand Hell?!!"
The noble council finally discovered the secret of Orm's disappearance.
There is nothing we can do about it. Quicksand Hell is a secret force formed by the survivors of the Lost Kingdom. They live in a special ocean - the sea of sand!
I mentioned the Lost Country before. In terms of blood, they are standard Atlanteans. However, during the Cataclysm, they made a completely different choice from ordinary Atlanteans. They chose
Migrate to land.
It was that time, the Sahara. At that time, the Sahara was not a desert. Seven thousand years ago, the Sahara was still rich in water and grass. At that time, they were in the eastern part of the Sahara, and there was a vast area called the Arabian Desert. There was a place called the Desert hidden in it.
The mysterious area of the cave.
In fact, this area also has related legends in the human world.
In 1930, the famous British explorer Bertram Thomas led 25 guides on an adventure trip. Following the records in ancient books, they crossed the towering Kara Mountains and visited the mysterious land of frankincense, which is rich in frankincense.
It smelled of a precious spice and exuded a rich milky fragrance. However, over the next more than two months, Thomas suddenly lost contact. It was not until more than five months later that he unexpectedly appeared in Doha, Qatar, unscathed.
, and brought back a large amount of precious loot and some new species that had never been discovered on the earth before. But the most shocking thing was that he discovered an ancient city buried in the sand in that mysterious place, known as
Atlantis in the desert. Although he tried to continue pursuing clues, he failed to make any further progress.
They said that there was a lost city in the desert, where there once was an ancient civilization, but the city had been swallowed up by the desert. Thomas recorded this story and it caused a sensation in Europe. Lawrence of Arabia also heard about this story
, he believed that the city existed and planned to find it. However, he died in a car accident. The story of this lost city aroused people's curiosity, but the truth remains a mystery. According to the Koran, the Eelam people
is an ancient tribe, but their history does not appear in the Judeo-Christian Bible. They once used black magic to conquer many people on the peninsula, but were eventually destroyed by a terrible drought. Their cities were destroyed by the desert
Devoured, their civilization disappeared. The story recalls an ancient mystery, but the truth remains unknown.
Many historians are skeptical of this story, believing that it is just a fictional story in the scriptures, used to warn believers not to violate the wishes of the Lord God. They believe that there may not be the remains of a powerful ancient kingdom under the Arabian desert. However,
, things don't seem that simple. In addition to the Quran, there is also a world-famous book "One Thousand and One Nights" that also mentions this kingdom. In one of the stories, a man named Abdullah was searching in the desert
When he lost his camel, he discovered an abandoned city. This city had two huge doors that had never been seen elsewhere, and the doors were inlaid with various jewelry. He walked into the city, but found no one.
, there are only tall city walls and a magnificent castle. The castle is also filled with various treasures. Abdullah secretly took away some gems and told the local officials what he found. However, the officials did not believe it.
He asked an expert to ask about what he said. The expert told them that the city was the ancient city of Ilam. It is said that Shada, the king of Ilam, liked ancient books, and he saw descriptions of the future world in the books.
, thinking that it was the paradise of the afterlife, so he wanted to build a similar world. However, after many years of hard work, a warrior of Ilam built a paradise city for himself. When he was preparing to go to this city, Allah
Allah sent down the city defenses to him because they did not believe that Allah only wanted to fight, so Allah sent down the sand city to them, and he and his heavenly city were buried under the desert. This story is reminiscent of the lost city.
The mystery of the city, but the truth remains unknown.
Of course there is a difference between legend and reality.
That city exists on Earth, and it is the city where the Lost Clan is located.
It's just that there is no so-called treasure. There is a huge prison there. The most vicious criminals in the underwater kingdom will be imprisoned forever... and now the name of this city has been changed to - Quicksand Hell!
There is no death penalty in Atlantis, the most cruel punishment is to be sent to quicksand hell.
Here all the lost people are jailers.
What's interesting is that due to thousands of years of evolution, these people have embarked on a completely different evolutionary path from their own race.
Most of the Atlanteans on the bottom of the sea cannot leave the water. The people of the Lost Tribe are very afraid of water. They are all landlubbers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! These people are hereditary civil servants of the underwater kingdom. They do not belong to the jurisdiction of any country. In terms of level, they are at the same level as other kingdoms. But they are indeed
It is jointly supported by several major kingdoms, so if a prison break occurs, they must report it.
Although Atlanna asked them to postpone the report, and the Lost Clan was willing to give face, it was impossible not to report it forever.
Being able to postpone it until now is enough to give me face.
So the Atlantis Kingdom Council has now also learned the news.
There was also a scene in Parliament where members questioned the Queen.
Obviously, someone wants to connect Orm's disappearance with the theft of the Dark Trident and Orichalcum!
Political strife is what it is. Let’s not talk about the lack of evidence. Anyway, it’s just sensationalism.
For details, please see a certain Golden Retriever and a certain Laoden.
In fact, they didn't really connect these things in their minds, but in the battle between Parliament and the royal power, one party must overwhelm the other, so if they can attack the royal power, they will definitely be happy to do so.
But the key point is...Atlanna feels guilty!
The more Atlanna thought about these things, the more she felt that they might have something to do with Orm!
Fortunately, Atlanna is not alone.
Kai's identity is rather embarrassing. Even if these people don't really care about his affair with Atlanna, they will still criticize him in terms of face. At this time, they will stand up and speak for Atlanna. That is
Adding fuel to the fire.
Simply, there is Meila!
Mela's identity is very suitable. First of all, she was Orm's fiancée and the recognized queen candidate of the kingdom. Secondly, she is the princess and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Xebel, and she is also the second in line to the throne of Atlantis (
As mentioned before, her bloodline is very close to Atlanna, and Orm is the first in line. If Orm cannot inherit the throne, then she is the most likely person to inherit the throne).
So she spoke just right.
"Lady Fearon, are you questioning your queen? Questioning the object of your allegiance?!!"
Mela did not respond to the parliament's questions at all, but accused them of daring to question the monarch she was loyal to!
"Of course not!" However, these nobles in the parliament are all experienced. How could they be hurt by such a counterattack? Baroness Fearon said calmly: "We just want to understand, the heir to the kingdom.
This is our responsibility as the nobles of the kingdom and members of the parliament! Are we going to turn a blind eye to the whereabouts of the crown prince? "
"The whereabouts of the crown prince is a secret of the kingdom!" Of course, Mela is not a good bird either.
"Even for us?" The countess was very surprised and asked in surprise.
"Of course!" Mela said matter-of-factly: "Has anyone ever stipulated that kings and queens need to explain and report everything to their ministers?"
"But we are a parliament!!!" These words really made some members of the noble parliament break their guard. This was a clear sign of contempt for them!
"Then what? Do you want me to repeat the duties of the Council?"
Mela said coldly.
Then, before they could say anything, Mela patted the huge stone table.
boom!
A huge stream of water exploded, knocking several members of the council upside down.
"The responsibility of the parliament is to assist the king or queen in handling government affairs. You are only the king's assistants and advisors! You can only express questions about the king and queen! You are not making decisions on behalf of the king!"
How would you describe the Council of Atlantis?
Their development is somewhat similar to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. The initial cabinet mainly focused on participating in government affairs, which had two main connotations. One was to serve as the emperor's political adviser, understand relevant government information, and participate in consultation on core secrets and basic national affairs.
In the formulation of policies; the second is to serve as the emperor's confidential secretary, drafting edicts, edicts and related documents on behalf of the emperor. This can be briefly glimpsed from the "History of the Ming Dynasty".
Once, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty summoned Jian Jin and others and said: "Every day and night, I, Jiaer, are diligent and conscientious, and I will speak in the palace. I will always be affectionate, be cautious in the beginning of changes, and protect the end of the world. I am willing to work together to encourage you." He also said: "I speak on behalf of you.
The driver has a secret connection, and he serves me day and night, and the benefit is not to be under the minister..." From the above situation, we can see that the cabinet, as the so-called "spokesman", has clerical exchanges with departments at all levels of the central government. In fact,
It plays the role of the emperor's think tank or the emperor's staff; the cabinet ministers serve the emperor and "take it easy, and the emperor listens in vain." Here, the cabinet ministers are engaged in a kind of admonishment and official work.
After Zhu Di died in 1424, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne and changed the reign of Emperor Hongxi to Renzong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Gaochi was a generous man but sickly. Most affairs in the court were taken care of by his son Zhu Zhanji (Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty). For the convenience of administration, he
The power of the cabinet began to gradually grow, and gradually surpassed the original six ministries. In the history of the development of the cabinet power system, the establishment of the "voting plan" and the "chief assistant" marked the transformation of the cabinet from the emperor's staff to the collective "prime minister."
The Atlantis Noble Council was similar. The background for their establishment was that the Queen was exiled and His Royal Highness the Prince was hiding in the palace because of cuckoldry. He was unable to handle government affairs at all. As the legal heir, Orm
It was still a baby, so their power was infinitely expanded and turned into a real administrative agency!
But in fact, from the beginning to now, their responsibilities and powers have been clearly defined!
They are just advisors and staff!
They have no power themselves, their legal power comes entirely from the king!
Unless the king endorses them, they have no right to dictate anything in the kingdom!
"You have transgressed! You even dare to question your king! Do you want to trample on the holy laws of Atlantis that have existed for thousands of years and usurp the power that belongs to the king?!!"
When Atlanna saw this scene, her first reaction was that Mela had gone too far. Although these congressmen were a little excited, Mela's actions were still too disrespectful to them.
But who is Mela? She immediately winked at Atlanna.
Atlanna was not stupid and immediately understood what Mela meant.
Now these people want to connect the issues of the Dark Trident and Orichalcum with Orm... This is driving Orm to death!
If Atlanna stood up to speak for them at this time, wouldn't she unite with them to kill Orm?
So Atlanna sat on the throne with a sullen face and said nothing.
If you don't know what to do, just stay silent.
As Mela went berserk, several important ministers in the parliament immediately looked at Atlanna, hoping that their queen would make the decision for them.
But they quickly reacted.
Isn't this funny?
Atlanna is indeed an enlightened queen. As soon as she came back, she recalled the parliament. Logically speaking, she should be the backstage of the parliament, but damn... It seems that several of her want to force the son of her backstage to death.
...If Queen Atlanna is still helping them, then the queen is really an idiot!
They were also blindly thinking that they had always regarded Queen Atlanna's generosity as weakness, and they actually made it difficult for the Queen in this matter.
This is 'holding a gun on a good guy!'
Do good people deserve to be held at gunpoint?
"Someone is coming!!!"
Soon a group of soldiers appeared in the palace!
"Take away their qualifications as members and throw them into jail!"
Mela naturally gave orders.
Atlanna's face twitched, but in the end she remained silent.
To be honest, although these people don't have much respect for her, the country is still very good under their governance. If she could, she would never be so rude to these people.
