What to do if you wear it to heaven

The Royal City of the Sea Clan is still shining brightly tonight, just like when Belial first arrived.

Hundreds of years ago, this ancient underwater city was devastated and completely destroyed by demons, but under the governance of Eric, the king of the sea who was appointed in danger, the sea people who came from the war quickly restored the peace and prosperity of the past ——Eric, the wise Neptune, played a particularly important role in it.

Since the end of the war, it has been a long time since the Sea Clan has had any major incidents.Most of the Sea Clan living in this city today were born in the hundreds of years after the war, and they have long been accustomed to the peaceful life today. Most of the impressions of the war come from the Sea Clan who participated in the war that year The old man has not experienced any turmoil.

However, the atmosphere in the royal city is obviously different from the past recently. Whether it is the increase of patrolling guards or the rumor that Haiwang has not held a morning meeting for many days, the atmosphere in the royal city of the Hai clan has become slightly restless. The young people soaked in the jar can clearly feel it.

His gaze swept over the guards who were constantly shuttling through the Sea Clan's Royal City, and Beryl suddenly whispered to Lucifer, "I find that every time I come to the Sea Clan's Royal City, nothing good will happen here."

Unexpectedly, Beryl, who was silent all the way, would say that, Lucifer thought for a moment, and then realized that the fact seems to be true——

When Belial first came to the Sea Clan, he brought news of the death of the daughter of the former Sea King and the current sister of the Sea King, Ai Feier, and the news that the devil was going to attack the Chaos Realm;

When I came to the Sea Clan for the second time, the former Sea King, all the princesses of the Sea Clan, and the remaining Sea Clan in the entire Undersea King City were all slaughtered by demons in that catastrophe;

When Belial came to the Sea Clan for the third time, there appeared the Sea Clan who had fallen into demons;

This is his fourth visit to the Sea Clan, because the current Sea King Eric is about to die of illness.

His eyes fell on Beryl's face without any emotional fluctuations, and Lucifer didn't know if Beryl was simply lamenting such a coincidence, or if he was blaming himself for it.

Although Lucifer knew that with Beryl's temperament, the answer was probably the former, but he still rubbed Beryl's head reassuringly, and said in a gentle voice, "It doesn't have much to do with whether you come here or not." , the Angels and the Sea Clan are not of the same race, of course the Sea Clan will only contact us when something important happens."

Of course, these Belials knew that what he said before was just out of emotion, thinking that every time he came to the Sea Clan, he would only encounter troubles.

But this should be the last time——

If it hadn't been for the promise that the former Sea King would take care of Eric, Beryl would never have any interaction with the Sea Clan after the war.

They soon came to the Sea Clan's palace. The chief guard of the palace who had been with Eric had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the arrival of the two archangels, he immediately led them to see Eric.

Eric is less than a thousand years old this year. This age is not too old for the longest-lived royal family of the Sea Clan. His father was nearly [-] years old before he died. Maybe live to be two thousand years old.

But just like this, Eric, who was supposed to be in his prime, was so weak that he couldn't even stand up when Beryl and Lucifer saw him. In the huge soft shell bed, he looked at Belial who was gradually approaching with a serene expression.

"Lord Belial." The gentle blue eyes looked at Belial just like when we first met, and Eric called Belial's name softly.

His face is obviously not completely aged yet, only a few traces of time can be seen in the corners of his eyes, but his long hair has already turned into pure white like snow, and his face, which has been gray for many days, has gradually recovered It was rosy when it was healthy, but the sea nobles who saw this scene couldn't help but have red eyes——

Because they all knew that the fire of their king's life was about to be completely extinguished, and now it was only because they saw the Archangel, whom they loved all their lives, that the remaining brilliance of life burst out at this last moment.

The soft-hearted female sea tribe couldn't help turning her back and crying secretly, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the last meeting that Eric had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Eric." Seeing that Eric was struggling to look up at himself, Beryl quickly sat down on the chair in front of his bed.

In fact, Beryl and Eric had only seen four sides including today.

Although Eric occasionally contacted him through the communication crystal in these years, Beryl's temperament has never been related to enthusiasm. The stone warmed up a bit, but Eric, who was far away in the deep sea of ​​the Chaos Realm, did not have such an opportunity and honor at all.

Therefore, to be honest, Beryl is not familiar with Eric, and naturally he will not treat Eric differently just because Eric is dying, and treat Eric with a gentle attitude.

He even called out Eric's name in response, and sat in the chair without saying a word.

Because he didn't know what to say to Eric at all—if it wasn't for fulfilling his promise to the previous Aquaman, let alone a mere Aquaman who was critically ill, even if the entire sea clan was destroyed in front of him, Beryl wouldn't even know how to use his eyes. blink.

But even if he just sat in silence like this, Eric was still content.

Because this was the closest moment in his life to Lord Belial, and it was also the first time that Lord Belial had set his eyes on him for so long.

As a mermaid living in the sea, to fall in love with such an angel who was born high and above the clouds, if anyone knows about it, they will probably think Eric is crazy.

Eric was happy with it.

When contacting Lord Belial, Eric was actually very disturbed.He is actually very clear that even if he is the king of the sea clan, he is nothing to Lord Belial who is in charge of hundreds of millions of angels of power.

He liked Lord Belial so much, how could he fail to notice the indifference and ruthlessness that this Lord never concealed.

But ever since he met Lord Belial for the first time, that peerless silver figure has been deeply rooted in his mind, and in his heart, it has grown into a big tree that blocks the sky day by day.

Eric could not resist this, nor did he want to resist at all.

Because just loving Lord Belial made him feel so happy.

And now, at the moment when his life is about to come to an end, his favorite angel is by his side.

Even though Lord Belial never knew about his love from beginning to end, Eric still felt sincere gratitude to Lord Belial who descended from the sky in response to his request.

There was even a burning light in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time, and his deep blue eyes were as shining as when he was the high-spirited prince of the sea clan back then.

Seeing all the changes in Eric calmly, Beryl still didn't say a word, letting Eric look at him with eyes so profound that he seemed to engrave every inch of his face in his heart. he.

Because Beryl and Eric have not spoken for a while, a needle drop can be heard in the huge dormitory for a while, and only the nobles of the sea clan who are waiting in the distance are trying to breathe lightly as if they are afraid of disturbing something. .

Seeing this, Sai Pei, the prince of the sea tribe who was dragged aside by the nobles when the two archangels arrived, thought that his father didn't know what to say to Belial, but he couldn't help complaining about Belial's behavior. An archangel refused to take the initiative to speak to his father when his father was dying. Just as he wanted to go to his father's bedside to accompany his father, he was blocked by an arm that suddenly appeared in front of him.

He looked up in puzzlement, and when he saw the Seraph Archangel with long golden hair and beautiful sapphire eyes, he was shocked, and felt that the whole palace was covered by the peerless man who was so perfect that he could not find a single flaw. His face was shining brightly, and for the first time in his life, he was so shocked by the beauty that he couldn't speak a word.

"Hush." ​​Seeing that the sea prince stopped and stared at him blankly, Lucifer quickly raised a finger to his lips, signaling the sea prince not to disturb Beryl and the sea king.

The Hai clan nobles who were worried that His Royal Highness would forcefully squeeze to the bedside soon discovered that their Prince Saipei really did not advance half a point as the vice-lord of the kingdom of heaven had suggested, and even very well-behaved with Lucifer. There are also a group of nobles not far away.

Even if the occasion was not right, the nobles of the Sea Clan who saw this scene couldn't help feeling in their hearts the charm of Lucifer, the vice-lord of the kingdom of heaven. They are so docile in front of him.

Seeing this, the old nobles who knew Eric's feelings for Belial couldn't help but frown slightly, and they couldn't help thinking that Saipei, the next king of the sea clan, would not follow in Eric's footsteps.

Eric soon reached his deathbed.

Only then did he call Sai Pei and a group of nobles to him, and solemnly handed the trident, which was too heavy for him, to Sai Pei with trembling hands.

Just this one movement almost exhausted all his strength.

Holding the trident representing the supreme power of the Hai Clan tightly in his hand, tears finally rolled down from Sai Pei's red eyes, and he whimpered and called "Father King".

Seeing this, Eric no longer comforted him as before, but instead sternly reprimanded him, "...don't cry!"

He struggled to breathe heavily, like a fish that was about to dry up and die out of the water, but he still did not forget to tell Sai Pei, "From... today, you are... the new king of... the Sea Clan." !Saipei, promise...me! You will...become a...competent king! Protect...our homeland!"

"Answer... yes to me!" He held Sai Pei's wrist tightly, and his blue eyes looked deeply into Sai Pei's eyes.

Sai Pei finally cried "Wow", "I promise you, I promise you! Father, I will definitely become a sea king as competent as you, and I will definitely...not let you down!"

The crushed pearls crackled and smashed all over the bed, and Eric, who got the promise of the new king, let go of Sai Pei's wrist, and let the nobles who witnessed all this take the emotional Sai Pei out. He still had something to say. I want to talk to Belial.

The crying new king was quickly taken out of Haiwang's bedroom by the nobles, and the air became quiet again.

Eric was silent for a while before he took out a small ice blue box from under the pillow and handed it to Belial.

"Master Belial...please accept this."

After doing this, Eric could barely keep his eyes open.

After receiving the small ice blue box from Eric, the cold touch felt familiar. Beryl searched his memory for a while, only to remember that Eric seemed to have given him a similar ice-like box hundreds of years ago. The jade-like seabed ore is said to be able to keep anything immortal for thousands of years.

He lowered his eyes and opened the small box that was as cool as ice cubes. The box was covered with ice-blue veil that also had the effect of preserving freshness. In the center of the veil lay quietly a golden gemstone in the shape of a scale that was half the size of a palm. .

His brows could not help but frown slightly. With just one glance, Beryl knew the origin of this thing, and finally knew why Eric didn't even live for a thousand years——

It stands to reason that with the life branch he gave, Eric can live smoothly for thousands of years.

Seeing Beryl staring at the gold in the box indifferently, completely unmoved, even if he knew this, Eric still felt a little disappointed.

But as long as His Royal Highness Belial can accept it, he will be satisfied.

"Master Belial... please... accept it." He said to Belial almost beggingly, "Take it... as my only request... in this life."

Belial then moved his eyes from the box to Eric's face, and looked at Eric indiscriminately, "You can ask me to continue to take care of the new Neptune, just like your father once asked me to do it. Like that."

Even though he had vaguely guessed that it was because of his father's request that Lord Belial took such good care of him, Eric still couldn't help but wryly smiled when he confirmed the matter from Lord Belial.

"No... I just want you to... accept it." He stubbornly looked at the small box in Beryl's hand.

Lord Belial is supposed to be aloof and untouched by the world. For his father's request, Lord Belial has done his best to him and the Sea Clan these years. Eric really doesn't want to bother Lord Belial with the sea clan's ordinary affairs. .

Besides, the internal affairs of the Hai Clan are their own business. How can they be so greedy and put all their hopes in heaven?

The angels help them because of their kindness, but Eric does not think that it is right for the angels to help the sea people.

There is nothing wrong with cutting off the sea clan's growing dependence on angels from him.

Seeing Eric's firm attitude, even if he made the condition of protecting the future safety of the Hai Clan, he was still unmoved, so Beryl nodded to Eric, "Then, as you wish."

When Eric closed his eyes, he was smiling.

The moment he completely lost his voice, a ray of light blue soul invisible to the naked eye floated out of his body, and instantly merged into the small ice blue box in Belial's hand.

Only then did Beryl close the open lid and put the small box into the storage space.

Beryl kept his back to Lucifer, so Lucifer did not see the scene after Eric passed away.

After looking complicatedly at Eric's sleeping body for the last time, Beryl turned around and said to Lucifer, "Let's go."

When they learned of Eric's death, all the sea clan members outside the palace were deeply saddened and wept bitterly. Only the old head guard insisted on maintaining the final etiquette, sending Beryl and Lucifer out with red eyes. After entering the Sea Clan's palace, he quickly turned back to the palace after saying "Excuse me".

At this critical moment, Belial and Lucifer did not stick to these things, and quickly left this royal city hidden under the deep sea.

On the seaside of the Chaos Realm, Belial took out the transparent communication crystal from the storage space, and handed it to Lucifer without the slightest bit of nostalgia.

Seeing this, Lucifer knew that Beryl would never receive any news from the new Aquaman no matter whether it was public or private.

His promise to the old Neptune was completely over at the moment Eric passed away.

Thinking of Eric specially asking Beryl to come over when he was dying, and being satisfied after only being face to face with Beryl for a while, and finally passing away with a smile on his face, Lucifer finally couldn't help expressing emotion , "It seems that Eric really likes you very much."

"Yes, I know." Beryl responded lightly.

In this world, no one knew better than Beryl himself how much Eric liked him.

I like it so much that I would rather give up the road of reincarnation and imprison my soul in dead things, but also want to stay by his side.

Beryl has lived for a long time, and this is the first time he has met someone like Eric who loves him so much without hesitation.

This feeling was somewhat new to him, and somewhat touched him, so Beryl asked Eric at the end if he really wanted to exchange this once-in-a-lifetime request for this opportunity to stay by his side .

Eric's love was too heavy and humble, and he never expressed a word to Beryl until his death. Although even if he really poured out his heart to Beryl, Beryl would not respond at all, but for this For a sincere and unreserved feeling, Beryl will maintain the minimum respect.

It is precisely because of this that he will acquiesce in Eric's soul sleeping in the golden scales.

Unexpectedly, Beryl would answer these words so happily. For some reason, in Lucifer's mind, the image of Eric staring at Beryl as he was dying kept appearing, and doubts gradually appeared in his eyes. , "Eric obviously hasn't met you a few times, how could he like you so much..."

While speaking, Lucifer couldn't help but look at Belial's face, and suddenly remembered that there are many angels in heaven who like Belial, and he quickly said in relief, "But you are very popular in the first place, Eli It's normal for Ke to like you so much."

Even though he was wearing a peerless beauty, his brain circuit was always so strange, Beryl gave Lucifer a funny look, it was very clear that in the angel's mind, there was no such thing as love at all, and finally He couldn't help but cursed with a low laugh, "Fool."
