When the inspection team jointly dispatched by the Imperial Public Affairs Department and the Natural Disaster Mission landed at the port on the outskirts of Heligoland in the city of Lottana, the Cloud Whale Island far offshore was about to welcome a group of special guests.
.
Thousands of meters under the sea, on the submarine continental shelf covered with mountains and ravines, beautiful blue corals grow entangled on strange rocks and grow into huge coral trees. This species called crystal coral is unique in the blue sky and sea.
The color of some products is as clear and transparent as the ocean, which is more touching than any handicraft. It is loved by inland countries and has always been a best-selling product on the blue sky sea route. On several coasts on the north bank of the Rostow River
There is a type of people living in the city who make a living by diving into the offshore to pick this kind of crystal coral and sell it.
The crystal coral tree in front of us, which is more than several meters high, would definitely be a rare treasure if placed in Qisaiya, the capital of the Mindelias Empire. It would be a treasure that even the royal family would be tempted by. It is difficult to measure its value with money. However,
, no matter how precious the treasure is, unless it has some unique effect, it will be priced according to its scarcity. Therefore, rare treasures for people on land are hard to find for races in the deep sea.
But this is not the case.
Under the coral tree, soft white sand covers the bottom of the sea, and soft emerald green seaweed sways and dances in the direction of the current. Mirror Elf soldiers wearing armor and holding spears ride huge sea beasts that look like seahorses, cruising around the coral tree.
Patrol. Their commander, who is also the captain of this reconnaissance team, is sitting on a dark rock where coral trees grow, holding an ice-blue crystal in his hand, silently watching the picture projected by the crystal, lost in thought for a long time.
words.
At this time, what is shown in the circular mirror radiated by the crystal is the island that should not exist in this sea area. It is parked quietly under the Blue Bridge. It looks no different from an ordinary island, but every time
No mirror elf who has witnessed a whale falling from the sky should have such naive thoughts - if the owner of the island had not deliberately manipulated it, I am afraid that the moment the whale fell into the sea, it would have set off thousands of waves and disturbed the peace of the sea.<
/p>
Although she has never witnessed it with her own eyes, Galenie can already imagine the size of the huge wave. I am afraid that only the origin priests of Sequence 4 and above can compete with it. In other words, there should be at least one demigod level on that island.
A strong man, this is why Galenie ordered her subordinates to only monitor from a distance and not to approach without permission.
However, even the secret surveillance did not last long. Starting from last night, the alert level on the island has been significantly increased by more than one level. Several soldiers responsible for surveillance tasks have exposed their positions several times in a row. That absolutely
It's not because they are not cautious enough, but because the other party is obviously on guard. On the premise that both sides are prepared, it is obviously unrealistic to expect only a few Sequence 9 soldiers to hide it from the eyes and ears of a powerful demigod. The only good news is that the other party didn't seem to want to show off, so they were just secretly on guard and didn't do anything radical. It seemed that they were very clear about their position as guests.
Entering the owner's territory is already extremely rude, so how can you take advantage of it?
Since the guest is so knowledgeable, as the host, there is absolutely no reason to just spy in secret. If he keeps hiding it, it will appear that he is sneaky. What's more, just now, the adjutant who was sent to the city to ask for Her Majesty's orders also returned.
and brought back His Majesty's oral instructions, which clearly mentioned that Galenie should act according to the opportunity. If conditions permit, she can try to contact and have friendly exchanges with these people on the ground. Perhaps... is there still a possibility of cooperation between the two parties? Cooperation? What does the Queen want to cooperate with these people on earth? Galene can guess a little bit, but after all, it involves royal secrets. As a minister, she cannot judge. She only knows that she only needs to faithfully carry out Her Majesty the Queen's will.
.
Thinking of this, she gently closed her palms, covering up the brilliance of the crystal, and the projected image also dissipated in the dense water waves. She turned back and said to the adjutant: "Let the soldiers be ready.
”
"It's time to meet those people on earth."
……
"It's time for those mirror elves to come to your door." In the lobby of the hotel, the Countess took a sip of black tea elegantly, her tone was understated, and she looked like she was in control.
This calm demeanor and calm self-confidence were obviously very popular with the little girl, so Metien and Leticia sat next to her on the left and right, looking at her with admiring eyes, probably wanting to become and
She is the same person: elegant, noble, able to deal with any situation calmly and calmly, she is simply a model of the ideal successful lady.
Only Shelia, for some reason, couldn't stand such a gesture, so she questioned aloud: "How do you know that the identities of those monitors are mirror elves and not other aliens in the sea, Miss Neville?" "Because they are very restrained, and restraint is the privilege of intelligent races. If it were other aliens with low intelligence, even if they knew they were outmatched, they would definitely come up and fight you, and they would only run away after knowing the pain.
There is no need to consider sea beasts with even lower intelligence. With their simple brains, it is impossible to connect an island that suddenly appeared on the sea with an enemy that broke into the territory." Neville explained unhurriedly.
Said: "As far as I know, the only race in the deep sea that can maintain strict organizational capabilities and establish a complete civilized order is the mirror elves. It just so happened that when I was the ancestor of the Valenhild family, I
We have heard that there are more than one mirror elf regime in the land and sea, and the one we encountered is probably one of them."
Then why don’t you just say the last sentence?
Shelia complained, but was not discouraged by the temporary defeat, and continued to question: "Then how do you know that the intention of those mirror elves must be friendly, and not to drive us out of this sea area?"
"It's very simple, because the strength of the mirror elves no longer supports them from taking a tough stance against any race on earth as they did in ancient times." Neville took another sip of black tea and said in a calm but determined tone: "In ancient times
, the mirror elves participated in all battles including the Dark Dragon Tide in order to compete for the position of hegemony. Although they were eventually defeated by humans and driven into the deep sea, they still retained their power in the sea; but now, times are different, and continuous experiences
After the three major ocean development events of the Age of Discovery, overseas trade and colonial wars, human beings are gradually extending their tentacles to areas that they could not touch in the past: the sky, swamps, canyons...including the ocean. I heard that when the colonial wars first started
, just on the route from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent, more than a dozen countries of mirror elves perished, and there were countless other small city-states. Even their kin from all over the world had to be caught.
Tails are human beings, let alone this one in the Rikujianhai. If there is too much commotion and offends the Alliance of Orders, I am afraid that the fate of the aliens in the Xugen Swamp in the past will be their fate today."
The colonial war was by no means just a war of plunder and dumping from the Western Continent against the Eastern Continent, as ordinary historians think. In fact, long before the colonies in the Eastern Continent were established, they were buried under the barrels of those giant steel ships.
There are countless innocent souls, but some are human beings, so they are written down in textbooks, while some are aliens, so no one pays attention to them.
Her profound knowledge and leisurely tone aroused the unanimous admiration of the little girls. Shelia saw with her own eyes her calm demeanor while sipping black tea, biting her lower lip unwillingly, and was about to continue questioning. At this time, Xie Mi next to her
As if he had discovered something, he asked strangely: "Second sister, why do I feel like you are targeting Miss Neville?"
"Nonsense!" Shelia immediately yelled: "How could such a thing be possible!"
But it was useless to quibble. Xie Mi did not lower his voice when he spoke, so Leticia and Medien both cast interested glances, because they also had similar feelings. Only Neville didn't care and still relied on
Sitting on the back of the chair, she leisurely tasted the fragrant and mellow black tea, as if the person being targeted was not actually her.
That's it again.
Shelia squeezed the wine bottle slowly and hard, her eyes shrouded in a sinister cold light: Why do you do this? In front of me, do you think I don't exist?
I, Xie Liya, am not as easy to bully as you think!
Xie Mi's eyes moved back and forth between her second sister and Countess Neville. Finally, she noticed that her second sister's eyes seemed to be fixed on something. She thought about it secretly and suddenly realized: "Ah,
I understand, second sister! Are you angry because Miss Neville only likes to drink black tea but never drinks the water you mixed?"
