"Oh! This place is really spectacular!" Jacks looked around in amazement. After passing through the invisible barrier at the entrance of the cave, there was actually no trace of sea water in the cave. Countless treasures and shipwrecks were piled up in the cave. Inside the cave
There is also a gleaming golden door, "No wonder the Dragon King doesn't allow you to enter. It turns out it's because this is his little treasury!"
Qi Qi retorted with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense. These things are all left by your race on earth. According to the covenant, we will not encroach on your property. If you come to look for it, we will return the original items."
"Covenant? What is that?" The severe pain in Lily's body has eased a lot. At least her lungs don't hurt anymore when she talks. She also heard from the goddess of the undead that the Dragon King abides by the ancient covenant. What covenant is it?
Qi Qi thought for a while and said slowly: "I heard from the elders of the clan that many years ago all the existing races in Ghasain once united to fight against an existence named Hildegui. However, at that time, the existence of each race
Amid all kinds of disputes, in order to resolve their own conflicts, all races signed a covenant under the witness of the gods to ensure that they did not have to worry about allies holding each other back during the battle. Although the gods have disappeared for many years today, the covenant has never been abolished.
, so our family still adheres to the old agreement, but you races on the ground have completely abandoned the agreement, attacking each other, killing each other..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Jacks picked his ears and said exaggeratedly, "Miss Turtle! How many years ago are you talking about? I'm sure my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather has never heard of such a thing.
It’s just a matter of time! You have to know that everyone has to look forward, and following some old-fashioned rules will only stop you from moving forward.”
July was silent, maybe because he was persuaded by Jacks, or maybe...she didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
"I...I don't think so..." Esera retorted weakly, "If everyone can be like the Sea Dragon Clan...and abide by the previous agreement...we will all live happily together now...
…”
"How naive! Little girl!" Jacks put his hands on his hips and snorted. "Can a mere agreement restrain human greed? I have lived in the eastern city-state for so many years, and I am used to seeing intrigues and intrigues.
No, your naive wish is impossible to come true."
"But... but..." Aisela wanted to argue, but Jacks turned around and looked at the conspicuous door: "I said... what treasure is hidden behind that golden door over there?
?”
Qi Qi's face changed, and she suddenly stopped: "Don't go there! Behind that door is the real forbidden area of the Sea Dragon Clan. If you break in without permission, you will be dead!"
Jacks raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and touched his bare chin, and said as if to himself: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Why does the more I hear Miss Turtle say this, the more I want to go in and take a look?"
Lily nodded quickly. Originally, she wanted to go over and have a look after she recovered. When she saw someone had the same idea as her, she naturally agreed hastily: "I'll go too, I'll go too!"
Jacks turned around with a sullen face: "What? You want to go too? If you want to go, then I won't go in even to death."
"Hey?! Why!!!!" Lily wailed unwillingly.
On the other side of the Dragon Palace, Ao Die walked out of the courtyard with deep thoughts. The three Fans and Ziye who were waiting outside looked at her and Hongchen with questioning eyes.
"Something is not good." Hongchen looked at Ao Die who was biting his nails, sighed and said, "Dragon Palace may be a little unsafe recently. We must find a way to find the others immediately and send you out."
"What happened?" Fan said sincerely, "If we can help, then we will definitely help."
"No, it's better for you not to get involved." Hongchen saw the unwillingness in Fan's and the others' eyes and told them one by one.
It turns out that the Sea Dragon Clan has always had a centralized rule. The Dragon King has the power of life and death in the entire Dragon Palace. In addition, this generation of Dragon King has an extremely hot temper. Every year, members of the clan are killed for various reasons. More than thirty years ago, the Dragon King could not bear it.
The important officials of the tyrannical Hailong Clan communicated privately, and finally on a certain day, they recommended more than 20 important officials with the best reputation to jointly remonstrate, demanding a reform, so that each of the nine Hailong tribes would have representatives to coordinate Hailong's internal affairs. However, the final result
That is... they really died, along with their families.
Afraid of the Dragon King's lewd power, other ministers did not dare to do similar things anymore. Even the corpses of the ministers who died that year were not dared to be buried. In the end, the prince personally led people to bury them richly, so the prince was the most popular among the ministers.
The prestige is higher than that of the Dragon King to some extent.
However, because the prince ran away, the ministers privately believed that he was forced by the Dragon King. In addition, the Dragon King was injured by an unknown outsider. The minds of those ministers were once again ready to move, and Tan Weng was actually one of the ministers.
... To be precise, Tan Weng was among the more than twenty important ministers who were recommended by other ministers to remonstrate with the Dragon King. However, he escaped because he was ill and did not go there that day. After that incident, Tan Weng
I was once summoned to the Dragon Palace alone, and after I came out, I never mentioned the reform. This time, my old colleagues came to see me, and Tan Weng also dissuaded them from doing stupid things. Unexpectedly, the other party hit Tan Weng and injured him when they disagreed.
.According to what Tan Weng said, this time they no longer remonstrated because they were frightened by the Dragon King's strength like last time. This time they decided to take advantage of the Dragon King's serious injury to carry out military remonstrance! That is to say, force the palace!
"What? Are they going to rebel?" Fan said in surprise, "Isn't this action too fast? It hasn't been long since the Dragon King was injured, right? Did they mobilize the army in such a short time? Or are they?
Are you planning to rebel?"
"No, it should be a spur-of-the-moment idea." Hongchen analyzed calmly, "Although it is said to be a military remonstrance, it is probably just the result of a few bold guys discussing together. If I am not wrong, they are still instigating other people.
People, assembling the army cannot be completed in a short time. If the other party really completes the assembly, we will not be able to send you out."
Fan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The cause of this incident is us. If we really leave like this, laugh... wouldn't the lives of Princess Ao Die and you be in danger?"
"It does make sense to hear what you say." Hong Chen rarely started joking, "Your Highness, why don't we sneak away with them?"
Ao Die, who is playful by nature, did not choose to sneak out this time, but said with a low face: "No... I want to stay... Although my father's temper is indeed bad, I can't watch him die like this.
"Originally, the image of the Dragon King in her mind was that of being invincible. Who would have expected that he would be defeated today and seemed to be seriously injured. This caused Ao Die's belief in her heart to collapse in an instant, and she began to worry about gains and losses.
"Woo——" A low voice came from a distance. Fan and the others looked doubtfully in the direction of the south where the sound came from, but they saw nothing because of the high wall of the Dragon Palace: "What is this sound? Could it be?"
Is this a signal for mutiny?”
"No... the Sea Dragon Clan has always used drums to mobilize their troops. I have never heard such a sound before." Ziye frowned and slowly pulled out the sword from the scabbard, "Although I don't know who is coming, but
I can feel the murderous aura coming from over there..."
"Wait! I seem to know what this sound is!" Xingyun exclaimed, and suddenly remembered the past, "There was a time when we did a mission at the beach to escape from humans, and we heard it at that time.
This sound—conch! It’s the sound of a conch blowing!”
"Conch..." Hongchen also reacted immediately. He covered half of his face with a feather fan, narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, "It seems that they are those neighbors who don't frequent each other... mermaids..."
"The visitor is evil, Your Highness Princess, please hurry up and take refuge inside the Dragon Palace!" Ziye's face looked a little ugly. She could feel the tremendous pressure coming from the south! The other party was definitely not just one or two people!
