In the Name of the Queen

"You're talking nonsense!"

Katerina jumped up instantly like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Her cheeks flushed red, and her slender fingers pointed fiercely at Roland, trembling violently.

Roland didn't speak, his eyes were gentle.

Catalina took a weak step back and fell back to her seat.

She could no longer hide her inner panic, and she covered her face and cried "woohoo".

"Roland, I'm so scared. How could His Majesty the Sea King not come back? He is the god of the ocean world, he is invincible, and he will definitely come back. How could he fall on the way home, I can't accept it."

Roland didn't speak, because the truth was hard to hear.

If the Sea King was invincible, he wouldn't be fooled around by Tia. At least his brain is not invincible.

The top leaders of the Sea King Palace know the Sea King best.

As long as there is a possibility that the Sea King will return, they will be extremely loyal.

Since the Sea King is sure that he will not come back, these people got the news in advance, and of course they want to divide up the inheritance he left behind.

But the status of the Sea King in the ocean world is comparable to that of a god. Naked division is definitely not acceptable. It will be torn apart by the angry soldiers and civilians.

At least it must be reasonable and legal on the surface.

They came up with a way to select the Sea King's Consort, and the candidate is Catalina.

Why her? Because she is outstanding enough, and choosing her as the Consort will cause the least controversy; because she is from the Tianmu royal family, she has many scruples in doing things; and because she has seen the outside world and her heart is wild, it is just the right opportunity to imprison her.

It can be said that three birds are killed in one stone.

After Roland's simple analysis, Catalina instantly sorted out her thoughts, and her face was particularly ugly.

She seemed to be an orphan abandoned by the whole world.

The Sea King Palace used her as a cover to legally seize power, and Grandpa used her as a bargaining chip to exchange interests.

Without the Sea King, the faces of these people were all exposed.

"Even if His Majesty the Sea King really can't return, shouldn't we inherit his will and fight the false god to the end?"

Catalina murmured, without a trace of blood on her face.

She laughed when she said this.

This kind of words sounded passionate, but it was all nonsense.

If even the great Sea King could not return, who could the ocean tribes rely on?

Rely on the Sea King Palace that was corrupted by power? Rely on the sea witch Adina who was devoured by love? Or the grandfather who sold his granddaughter for profit?

Catalina wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

Looking at her unwilling and frustrated expression, Roland's devilish voice sounded in her ears.

"Catalina, have you ever lived for yourself in your life, have you ever fought for your dreams, even if you are just a moth flying into the flames, even if you only burn for a moment?"

Catalina looked at Roland with some vigilance.

Although she regarded Roland as a friend, she did not think that Roland was a good person.

People who are attentive to others for no reason are probably not good people.

"What do you want to do?"

Roland pressed his hands down, and began to seduce like a devil, "Katerina, have you ever thought that you can stop being the Sea Queen?"

Katerina took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.

The thing she feared the most finally happened.

Roland's claws really reached out to her who was isolated and helpless. She resisted weakly: "Roland, I am the Sea Queen who everyone witnessed the selection process, and the wife of the Sea King. You can't do this."

Roland was stunned for a moment and was speechless for a moment.

He had never guessed the woman's mind correctly, and this time was no exception.

Psychopath.

He glared at Catalina unhappily and sneered: "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

"I mean, have you ever thought about becoming the new Sea King?"

Katerina froze in place, stunned.

After a few seconds, her face was pale, without a trace of blood, and she shook her head desperately, as if to prove her loyalty to the Sea King who was destined not to come back.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! My loyalty to the Sea King is better than my life."

"Roland, take back your words immediately, otherwise we can't even be friends!"

"Please, I'm willing to do anything except this."

Does it also include the way you are most worried about not being the Sea King's Concubine?

Roland silently complained in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.

Catarina is now emotional, and any extreme words may irritate her.

She must be stabilized first.

After Roland waited for her to vent, he coldly added, "If even you don't have the fighting spirit, who will inherit the Sea King's legacy? Did you just say it casually just now?"

"You are so stupid!" Catalina couldn't help but swear.

Although she has been dominating the ocean as a red-haired female pirate for a long time, she is still a noble in her bones and pays attention to her manners.

But Roland's words are really hard to hear, especially when it comes to the Sea King, she really can't help it.

After swearing fiercely, her emotions were also vented and she gradually calmed down.

Roland was right. Since no one else could be relied on, one could only rely on oneself.

If one only looked at talent, only the former Adina could compare with her in the entire seabed.

But Adina was obsessed with love, busy with having children, and neglected her cultivation for several years, and could no longer keep up.

"It is fate that chose you, and you chose fate."

Roland recalled the charlatan quotes that Alina often said in his mind, and began to learn to deceive in a realistic way.

The charlatan quotes really worked. This riddle that seemed to say something but actually said nothing made Catalina tremble slightly.

She bit her lip, and the timidity, hesitation, and hesitation in her eyes were swept away, replaced by turbulent waves.

In her third eye, there was a sea filled with blood.

"Help me, Roland!"

She finally made up her mind.

Roland was waiting for this sentence, he nodded, and motioned Catalina to sit close to him.

He leaned close to Catalina's ear and said in a low voice:

"Catalina, I have a few questions, please answer truthfully."

Catalina nodded, a little nervous.

Roland pressed down with one hand, signaling her to relax, and asked casually: "How many people know that you have become the Sea Emperor's Concubine, and when will it be made public?"

"Currently, only a few people in the Tianmu tribe and the Sea Emperor's Palace know about it. It is planned to be made public to everyone in the square where the Sea Emperor's Trident is placed in a week."

Roland nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "In the minds of ordinary people in the sea, to what extent can the Sea Emperor's Concubine represent the Sea Emperor, and are they willing to fight for the Sea Emperor's Concubine?"

"This, I'm not sure, I believe there are people who are willing, but I don't know how many." If this question was asked before being placed under house arrest by the Sea Emperor's Palace, Catalina would proudly puff out her chest and say everyone.

But now she has no confidence.

"There will be at least one." Roland pointed at himself and said seriously: "Some things need someone to take the lead. As long as someone takes the lead, others will follow."

"Remember, the public ceremony of the Sea Queen is the time to take action. This is also our only chance."

Roland said in a deep voice: "To avoid being alerted by them, I can't withdraw experts from the land. We can only rely on the remaining power of the Sea King."

"This is a gamble." Catalina pointed out bluntly.

She then smiled with relief, "We have no choice."

She blinked and asked softly: "What if it fails?"

"I will try my best to break through, you..."

Roland hesitated. He himself has an instant teleportation rune that can jump to the sea surface and then wait for an opportunity to escape, but this rune was made by Lisa, soul-bound, and can only be used by Roland and cannot be transferred.

Once the coup fails, Catalina's chance of escape is zero.

The wise thing to do is of course to sell her and make a profit directly, but such words are definitely unspeakable.

Catalina looked at Roland with an extremely relaxed expression, "Thank you, you are even seriously considering the possibility of leading me out, that's enough. I am the daughter of the sea, even if I die, I will die in the sea."

"Don't worry, it's not that easy to kill me, they must pay a sufficient price."

Catalina's understanding made Roland feel a little warm.

Although this is the best choice, it is still a little

wrong, why should I think about failure? Shouldn't I strive for victory?

Why should a gambler who plays all-in consider the outcome after failure? Can it be worse than facing the judgment of the goddess on the final return day?

After determining the general plan of action, Roland used the killer weapon that was originally prepared to persuade the Sea Princess.

"This is the information collected by the Dark Evil."

Catalina was a little confused. What kind of information is worth keeping in the top-quality crystal ball?

This kind of crystal ball is basically produced in the pre-magic era, and it is very valuable. Because it can't be reproduced, its value is getting higher and higher.

This kind of out-of-print goods, which are used one less, will never record useless information.

With a little curiosity, Catalina stared at the crystal ball, looking forward to this important information.

As the crystal ball started, the mist that enveloped the shadow gradually dissipated, revealing a strange island.

Compared with the super island, this island is not very big, but from the perspective of the crystal ball, it is boundless, like an isolated continent.

Looking at the unique animals, plants and buildings in the picture, Katarina was inexplicably nervous.

As the picture zoomed in, the moving dots gradually turned into human shapes.

"Elemental life?"

Katarina's expression was a little complicated, and she remembered some past events.

The Theia plane is mainly composed of carbon-based organisms, but elemental life is not absent. In the early days of the Age of Gods, many primitive elemental lives with powerful power were born.

Some of these elemental lives have wisdom that is not inferior to humans, and some act completely on instinct.

They have powerful powers far beyond primitive humans and animals, making the early days of the Age of Gods like hell.

Those intelligent elemental lives are somewhat uncomfortable with the atrocities of the unintelligent elemental beasts, so they teach the methods of controlling elemental power to primitive humans who are still in their ignorant period.

After mastering the power of elements, primitive humans relied on their strong reproductive ability and innovation to make various crazy magic changes to the power of elements, giving birth to the early power of stars and magic.

As humans gained more and more power, the elemental beasts that acted entirely on instinct were gradually eliminated.

After suppressing the number of these elemental lives, primitive humans found that they could obtain elemental crystal cores from them, and their eyes on elemental lives gradually became greedy.

Those elemental lives that taught humans to move towards civilization were also labeled as evil lives and slaughtered together.

There was no other reason, but they had treasures.

This was the bloody history of the first half of the Age of Gods.

Others did not know about this dusty history, but as the Queen of the Sea, she had the right to read the Sea King's Notes and summarize this history from sporadic records.

A history that could not be recorded in the history books.

A history that was not very authentic but very human.

After sharing this information with Roland, Catalina sighed faintly: "I didn't expect these unlucky guys to have descendants left. I wonder if they still remember the hatred of the past."

"I understand." Roland suddenly realized.

"What do you understand?" Catalina was confused.

"I know the origin of the God's Punishment Legion."

"God's Punishment Legion?! Those servants of sinners?" Catalina sat up suddenly and looked carefully at the humanoid elemental life that gradually became clear in the picture.

In the notes of the Sea King, there are not many pages about the God's Punishment War. After all, he was a loser and was beaten to sleep on the spot by the God's Punishment Legion, so he didn't have time to record it.

Catalina's thoughts were running fast and she quickly sorted out her thoughts.

Elemental life hates humans equally, but the three goddesses transcend the human category and become gods. It is easy to control these elemental life that is full of hatred for humans and incorporate them into the God's Punishment Legion.

No wonder they can easily break through the plane barrier and go to the material plane to perform the God's Punishment mission.

"Is this our enemy? It does look difficult to deal with."

Catalina nodded and said softly: "Roland, if you don't mind, I want to continue the previous covenant and deal with them together."

Roland nodded and agreed with a smile.

The termination of the covenant before was a change of situation, and the continuation of the covenant now is also a change of situation.

He would not hold a grudge against Catalina for terminating the covenant, nor would he count too much on a covenant.

After all, a contract will only take effect when it is beneficial to oneself.

If the cost of breach of contract is lower than the loss caused by continuing to execute the contract, the spirit of the contract will become the spirit of abandoning the contract.

Perhaps she had seen through Roland's thoughts, Catalina bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind to draw out the dagger she carried with her, and stabbed her wrist fiercely.

Tick-tick-tick, blood dripped, she stretched out her other hand to catch it, smeared it on her face, and chanted in a strange language towards the location of the Sea King's Palace.

After completing the oath ceremony, she whispered: "I swear to the Sea King that I will fight side by side with you to the end and fight the enemies of the Sea King to the end."

Roland nodded, expressing satisfaction with Catalina's attitude.

Although he could understand the difficulties and reasons for terminating the covenant before, terminating the covenant was a breach of contract after all, and he was still somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

The blood oath made to the Sea King is the highest oath of the ocean tribe, and no one dares to violate it.

Although the Sea King can't come back, the power of the oath is still valid.

This is Katarina's sincerity.

Looking at the densely packed God's Punishment Legion in the picture, Katarina also felt her scalp tingling.

"By the second return day, many of them will be able to successfully advance to the second level. It's a headache to think about it. Even if we build a solid defense line, we probably can't stop them."

She shook her head in some distress and sighed helplessly.

"Yes, so we must take the lead and kill them before the return day."

"Are you crazy?" Katarina couldn't help but screamed.

"Look, even you don't believe that I dare to come to your door now, can they think of it?"

Roland smiled and clapped his hands, "A sneak attack is to achieve this effect." (End of this chapter)
