Chapter 1698 The Shepherd of the Deep Sea
Louis 39 began to take off his white robe and hat on his head.His Majesty the Emperor didn't write anything about it, and Luo Qiu didn't ask either.

It seems that both sides already know it well, but both sides also tacitly did not point it out.

It’s just that the road is quiet, and you always need to find some dispensable topics to embellish. People are not alone—this is the deep sea, an underwater world far beyond human imagination. The sun cannot reach here, so darkness breeds. Loneliness prevails.

"Mr. Luo, do you know why the Seabed City and the Sea-Monster Clan split at the beginning?" His Majesty the Emperor suddenly turned around and asked.

Luo Qiu said casually: "It is said that it is because the ancestors of the sea monster clan had a disagreement with the ancestors of the seabed city. In order to obtain the power to live freely in the deep sea, the ancestors of the sea monster clan degenerated into the appearance of monsters. "

"I heard that from Jin Kailun." His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile.

Boss Luo said: "I read it in the book, and there are also explanations on some other popular science channels."

"That's something that the people of the Undersea City can see." His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently: "Including Jin Kailun... In fact, his research results are good, but he was wrong from the beginning."

Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty intends to tell me the truth?"

"Do you remember the relief painting on the wall that I saw in the library last time?" the emperor said abruptly.

Luo Qiu nodded, "It seems to be a war."

Louis 39 said: "Actually, most of the history studied by Karen Kim is consistent. In the Lemuria era, it was indeed because of wrongly guiding the evolution direction of magic energy, and then there was a devastating disaster. Lemuria at that time People have to start the sinking plan... But in fact, the original sinking plan was not limited to the underwater city."

Boss Luo listened with great interest. He liked the feeling that the truth in history was revealed a little bit.

"We created a total of ten underwater cities." Louis 39 said slowly: "The ten underwater cities accommodate all the people who survived the catastrophe. And these ten underwater cities are all in the Lemurian era. Under the leadership of the last two princes... you know, the two statues at the entrance of the underwater city, right?"

"They are the last two princes?"

"That's right." Louis 39th nodded: "This is not recorded in any documents. Only we, the descendants of their blood, know about this matter. In fact, no one but us would have thought of it. The ancestors of the seabed city and the sea monster clan are actually two brothers."

"After all, there are too many differences in appearance." Boss Luo shook his head...that is already the difference between humans and beasts.

"My ancestor, Louis I and the ancestor of the Sirens [Cassidy], as the last surviving prince of the Lemurian Empire, has always been committed to restoring the previous civilization." Louis 39's voice gradually deepened, " There was indeed a disagreement between them, but not because of the decision to live in the deep sea or to return to land...but because of their attitude towards a certain force."

"On the relief in the library, what are you hunting down?"

"Why don't you guess what it is." His Majesty the Emperor revealed a sly look at this time, "What kind of power is it that caused the differences of opinion between the two princes, and even accumulated so many generations of hatred."

"It seems to have something to do with the black balls in the primaries on the [competition] field that day." Luo Boss Two smiled and said, "After all, there are similar black balls on the relief...it's not hard to think about it."

"We call it the [Eye of the Abyss]. It can swallow all the negative emotions of creatures, use it as food, strengthen itself, and it cannot be eliminated by any means we know." Louis 39 laughed at himself: " In fact, the Lemurian civilization, which claims to have come to the end of civilization, actually doesn’t know anything. In the past world, there were still things that the Lemurian civilization didn’t know... and it, hidden In the deep sea."

"The undersea city is the party that compromises with this kind of power?" Luo Qiu thought for a while.

Louis 39 said: "Do you find it strange that the bustling and peaceful underwater city will be the party that compromises. On the contrary, the fierce and violent sea monsters are the party that resists."

Boss Luo was noncommittal.

His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath and said, "The [Eye of the Abyss] is the food for that thing. Every once in a while, the underwater city needs to provide enough [Eye of the Abyss] to survive under its domination Come down. You said that twenty black balls can be exchanged for new technologies... Unfortunately, each [Eye of the Abyss] needs a lot of war to condense, and many times [Flying Tuo Contest] can be condensed The offerings are only barely enough... twenty, I really can't do anything."

Luo Qiu didn't speak.

This price was issued by the altar - since it was issued by the altar, it means that Louis 39 must have enough things in him at that time, and it is something that can be given.

"Your Majesty, my conditions are still the same." Luo Qiu shook his head: "However, for this explanation, I'm afraid I can only ask you to cross out one of these conditions."

"I know." His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and said, "I just want to talk to someone... People in the Undersea City can't. Reyaz can, but not now. You are different, you don't belong to the Undersea City, you It has nothing to do with us, and it doesn't matter if you know it... The important thing is, I don't think you are someone who likes to spread other people's secrets everywhere."

"Since the seabed city chose to compromise, and the sea monsters chose to resist..." Boss Luo asked curiously, "according to your fear of [it], why didn't [it] wipe out the sea monsters?" .”

"A one-time disaster can indeed harvest a large number of [Eye of the Abyss]. The nine underwater cities that used to be destroyed and disappeared. But later it discovered that the last underwater city that was cautious was already full of food... ...It began to meditate, and then the idea of ​​captivity was born...It's just that an underwater city alone is not enough to support [it]." His Majesty said blankly: "I said, [Eye of the Abyss] is Something that grows stronger by devouring all negative emotions... where is it easier for negative emotions to come from?"

"war."

"[It] is raising the Undersea City." A hint of self-mockery flashed in Louis 39's eyes, "And I am raising the Kraken... Events like the [Flying Tuo Contest] cannot be held too much, otherwise the sea will The state of the people in the city will be difficult to control. But the sea monsters are different. Their reproductive ability is very strong, and the population far exceeds that of the seabed city. , a steady stream."

Boss Luo said: "But the underwater city I have seen is based on mana technology, and I don't see any shadow of other external forces intervening. You said... [it] is raising the underwater city?"

Louis 39 stood still suddenly at this time, and then slowly turned around.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor who appeared before Luo Qiu's eyes was not the handsome appearance that the people of Haidao City recognized... He was extremely ugly, his face was continuously distorted, and then combined into a new appearance, like some kind of insect.

"I've already said that Karen Kim's research direction was wrong from the very beginning... Do you understand now?"

Luo Qiu opened his mouth, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are the fallen sea monsters."

……

The emperor seemed to dislike the original appearance very much.

He just kept that ugly look for a moment, and then he returned to his previous look.

"Actually, this is what the Lemurians look like." His Majesty the Emperor said with a wry smile at this time: "In other words, it's the Lemurians' body that has undergone a change after being integrated with magic energy... This kind of evolution allowed us to gain more powerful ability to use magic energy, but at the same time turned us into monsters and deprived us of the ability to survive in the sun. Another ancestor of the underwater city, Cassidy believes , this is the punishment for the Lemurians, we should bear in mind our mistakes, and should not succumb to [it]'s rule in order to restore the false past... Even if imprisoned in the deep sea in an ugly appearance, The dignity of being a Lemurian cannot be lost. There is a curse of [it] on each of us. Once we leave the control of [it], ugliness and mutation will appear again. Of course, if excessive anger, cruelty Waiting for the accumulation of too much negative emotions, it is easy for us to expose our true colors."

"So, rather than saying that the [Flying Tuo Contest] was held for the purpose of collecting [Eye of the Abyss], it is better to say that it is regularly cleaning up the negative emotions of the people in the seabed city and preventing their true colors from being exposed." Luo Qiu thought for a while Thinking: "How long do you think this kind of thing can last?"

"At least so far, there haven't been too many changes." His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently: "The underwater city can be maintained like this forever."

"In this case, why do you want to be able to obtain the technology of the giant energy civilization?"

"I'm already the last generation." His Majesty the Emperor looked at Luo Qiu and said softly: "When I come here, I can't find a qualified successor... By the way, you know, in front of [it], I, this What is the identity of the emperor of the seabed city?"

Boss Luo shook his head.

"A servant, a servant who is a shepherd." His Majesty said quietly, "I think what the ancestor compromised was wrong, and the idea of ​​another ancestor, Cassidy, is correct."

Luo Qiu thought for a while and said: "You hope to be able to resist [it], but at the same time you are also afraid of failure... You hope that Reyaz will replace you after you fail, and continue to be the slave of this herd... You will use [Hai] Yaozu]’s identity, to launch a final challenge to [it]?”

"I will die in this deep sea." His Majesty the Emperor pointed to the area ahead and whispered, "It's like this land of death."

……

This is a magical [lake] in the deep sea...a lake formed due to the difference in salinity.

This saltwater lake located deep in the seabed has a demarcation line that can be discerned by the naked eye, just like a submarine waterfall formed by a difference in temperature due to a density difference. A large number of creatures live on this demarcation line...they are mostly shellfish, Densely and neatly arranged.

On the edge of the dividing line, there are more corpses of deep-sea creatures... They have not decayed, and the super-high salinity has maintained their former appearance. This is the most spectacular museum at the bottom of the deep sea.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Louis 39 smiled and said: "First, I think this place is really beautiful. [Lakes] in the deep sea are not common. Second, I always feel that this place is quiet enough...Death is right in front of you, within reach There are not many wonderful sights on the seabed, but here is one, it would be a pity to miss it.”

While the emperor was speaking, a deep-sea moray eel suddenly dived into the salt lake to look for food, but it soon swam out, and after several times of diving and floating, the moray eel was already poisoned.

It needs to get rid of this brine to have a chance of survival.

Thus, its body began to struggle in the brine and sea water, bending, rolling, sinking, and desperately floating up, and so on several times... Finally, the moray eel successfully escaped from the brine.

"Good luck." His Majesty the Emperor showed a smile.

Behind this smile, there are countless corpses of indestructible sea creatures floating to the edge.

"The last reason is." The emperor looked at Luo Qiu again at this time, and said very calmly: "[It] is just under this [lake]."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Actually, there is nothing to decide or not to decide." His Majesty the Emperor smiled casually: "Since I was born, this has actually been my mission. I just don't understand why compared to the White Tower, compared to the [Eye of the Abyss] ]...Compared to [Holy Armor], does this last condition seem so insignificant?"

Boss Luo didn't say anything. At this time, he is using the identity of the store manager, and the communication with customers can only stop here... In fact, it has exceeded a lot. If it was the previous one, it would not be here.

"Actually, has Your Majesty ever thought that maybe you can get more from me, for example... the power to resist or even eliminate [it]?"

His Majesty the Emperor listened quietly, and then asked softly, "Is a whole underwater city enough?"

Luo Qiu shook his head.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have known about it a long time ago, so he smiled, "Then why should I think about it."

"I understand."

The [lake] in the deep sea suddenly dimmed, but soon, there was another cluster of twilight lights... that was the light of the contract.

……

……

In the extremely complex cave of the mine.

The Siren Clan on the side of Prince Pasha, and the delegation from the Undersea City on the side of Mrs. Kaiya were hiding behind two huge and sloping pillars.

They have already seen the appearance of that terrifying giant beast clearly.

It can spit out terrifying physalis, has tentacles that seem to have infinite power, and a huge exposed eye, as well as mouthparts that can be easily crushed.

"This is probably the biggest squid I've ever seen in my life." Professor Karen Jin, who was hiding aside, shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat squid in my life."

Mrs. Kaiya didn't speak, and neither did the soldiers of the undersea city, but they obviously agreed with the professor's speech.

At this time, the prince of the Sea Monster Clan who was hiding on the opposite side suddenly said loudly: "Everyone in the seabed city opposite, I heard that your third army is outside? I am now the prince of the Sea Monster Clan, and I formally request Political asylum in the city!"

When Professor Jin Kailun heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise—it wasn't because of the prince's loud cry at this time, nor because of his fear of death pustule.

And just because—what the hell is the word political patronage supposed to be?
