Just at this little gathering before the banquet...
As the master, Neptune agreed to all of Gawain's decisions and brought out all the special cakes in Ryugu Castle. He not only called out his son and daughter, but also sent Jinbei to Gawain.
As a guest, Gawain made a promise to solve the problem of Vanderdeken IX for Fish-Man Island, and also came up with a practical solution. He not only wanted to investigate the true cause of death of the previous generation princess of Dragon Palace Kingdom, but also planned to help Fish-Man Island.
Realize the dream they have chased for hundreds of years and reach the land!
Whether they are the host or the guest, they have done their best. Logically speaking, they should have a great time together before the banquet.
But I don’t know since when, how did things become like this?
Gawain looked left and right. At this time, everyone in the hall looked at him with something wrong!
Forget about Bai Xing, the look in this girl's eyes is indescribable. If I have to say it, she is probably the first figure in each of our hearts. We will always forget what day it is today, and we will always remember the first time we met her.
That day.
Except for White Star, Neptune's eyes always looked at him inexplicably, which made Gawain very uncomfortable.
As for the three Shark Star brothers, the other two brothers are okay, but Shark Star's eyes really look a bit like a murderous star.
When we reached the left and right sides, Di Yuan on the left was holding his chin with one hand, with a full aunt's smile on his face.
Jinbe on the right, although his eyes are clear, his eyes are always looping around Shirahoshi and Gawain.
Even in the end, Jinbei watched and actually added Dizono to the team being watched.
Diyuan, Gao Wen, Bai Xing...
Jinbei's eyes kept shifting. He didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.
So Diyuan...
One second she was still smiling like her aunt, and the next second she noticed Jinbei Xunso's eyes.
Diyuan is confused. Is there still something to do with me?!!
I’ve become a melon after eating it?!
In this increasingly weird atmosphere, the palace door was pushed open again, and the ministers walked in together.
Minister Zuo, who is a catfish and mermaid, bowed to Neptune from afar.
"Your Majesty, the banquet has been prepared, just waiting for all the adults to come!"
As soon as the left minister finished speaking, the right minister continued with a grimace.
"My guard was not in good condition and I once again failed to intercept Vanderdeken's attack. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Sitting in his seat, looking at his two veterans, Neptune grinned and waved to the right minister first.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Not everyone can stop Vanderdyken's attack!"
Then Neptune looked at the left minister.
"Now that the banquet is ready, let's set off quickly. We can't keep our people waiting!"
After the words fell, Neptune stood up and took a deep look at Gawain.
"Gao Wensheng!"
Neptune asked with some emotion.
"Can we go now?"
"sure!"
Gawain responded with a natural expression and at the same time breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
I was finally able to escape from such a depressing and weird environment!
…
On Fish-Man Island, inside and outside the grand banquet hall, the warm sunshine enveloped the beautiful corals everywhere, causing the corals to bloom with a light that even pearls and jade could not match.
More than 30,000 mermaids are swimming among the many colorful corals. Their fish tails are making ripples. The ripples gather into a sheet, allowing the sunlight to pass through the ripples and then leave a trace on the ground filled with clear sea water.
Vibrating spots of light.
In the center of the banquet hall, the extremely huge shell stage can accommodate thousands of dancers dancing at the same time. Behind the shell stage, even the bead curtains used for the opening and curtain call are made of the most rounded pearls and gems.
Spreading out from the center of the stage is the extremely spacious and luxurious main banquet hall. Although it is luxurious, it is not only open to the rich and powerful. Every fishman or mermaid who is willing to come to the banquet can enjoy it here.
Find seats in a banquet hall that holds hundreds of thousands of people.
Gawain and his entourage followed Neptune, departed from the Palace of the Dragon, and rode a giant flounder to the banquet hall.
The flounder Gawain rides on is particularly different. His flounder is shrouded in a bubble prepared for him, a land man.
Air bubble film.
Although Gawain and other mainlanders were not the only ones on Fish-Man Island at this time.
But overall, there are still too few flounders carrying air, so that every air bubble swimming through the water will be watched by hundreds of thousands of fish and fish people.
"No, they don't have bubbles on their heads. The Celestial Dragons should all have bubbles on their heads!
No, this one is pretty good-looking, and even the Celestial Dragons don’t seem to be very good-looking!”
"That's not the case. This group of people is too small. The Tianlong people should be very grand!"
"This looks a bit like it, but it probably isn't the same. The Celestial Dragons should be coming with His Majesty Neptune!"
Several people were whispering, but their voices could not travel far.
But hundreds of thousands whisper….
So every time a flounder carrying air swam into the banquet hall, the sound in the banquet hall would skyrocket to a noisy level!
When Gawain approached the banquet hall, what he heard in the distance was the noisy sound.
And when Neptune, who was at the front of his group, swam into the banquet hall, the noise became even more intense!
"Ah ah, it's your majesty, your majesty!"
"When your Majesty comes, the Celestial Dragons are coming!"
"Why aren't there any princes following Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty has come in, and the Tianlong people should be next!"
"Open your eyes, I've never seen a Celestial Dragon in my life!"
"Phew, excited!"
For a moment, the sound in the banquet hall filled the sky, and even the sea water filling the surroundings began to vibrate slightly.
And when Gawain's flounder swam into the banquet hall, when Musgarud's face and bubble hood were clearly seen by the mermaids...
The banquet hall, which was bustling with gongs and drums one second, was completely silent in the next moment.
The first human knelt down on his halibut, and then the kneeling was like a contagion, quickly spreading to the entire venue.
Some murlocs looked dissatisfied, but they did not continue to stand after all.
As for the mermaids, they lie on the ground like the white stars of the past. From a distance, the mermaids' salutes are similar to the Thais' salutes to their king.
The sunlight shines on the brilliant tails of countless mermaids, reflecting special colors that even corals cannot reflect.
That kind of color was constantly echoing in Gawain's heart at this moment.
What are rights?
What is status?
Why did Gawain often hear a sentence before time travel that everyone despises the Celestial Dragons, but everyone wants to become a Celestial Dragon?
When hundreds of thousands of people kneel down to you in unison, you can naturally feel the feeling.
This is the Tianlong people!
Musgard was obviously used to such a scene. He looked at the hundreds of thousands of kneeling fish in the distance and sighed.
"Hey, if this is not a rule, then I really don't want Princess Otohime's people to kneel down to me."
"But that's the rule!"
Di Yuan, who was beside Gawain, responded softly.
"Although I don't like General Sakaski's style very much, he said something that I regard as a treasure.
No matter how bad the rules are, they are better than no rules at all!"
After the words fell, Di Yuan looked at Gawain and continued with emotion.
"You have lived in such an environment since you were a child, but you are able to mold your current character. It is incredible!"
"oh?"
On the side, Jinbei frowned and looked at Gawain curiously.
"It seems that neither of the two Heavenly Dragon Lords like others' kneeling down?"
Hearing Jinbei's question, Gawain gently shook his head.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's unnecessary."
After the words fell, Gawain continued to explain to Jinbei thoughtfully.
"Kneeling down is not the only way to express respect and obedience, but kneeling down is the worst way to prove others' respect and obedience.
After all, our knees are not everything in our lives, but the bent knees of others will make the person being kneeled think that everything of the kneeling person belongs to them!
For those who kneel down, they lose something, but they also gain something, such as losing their fearless heart, and gaining a sense of grievance, or unwillingness, dissatisfaction!
For those who are kneeled down, they gain something, but they also lose something.
For example, they have received proof of their status, an extension of their rights, and the pleasure of standing above thousands of people.
Those who are being worshiped are those who are not rational enough to look at everything more correctly.
