Todd sat up straight: "How did you know about the Black Plague?"

As if he heard something in the other party's words, Huggins hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Silver Ring City is not far from the Papal State, and there have been many rumors in the city recently. ”

Todd looked under the table, where Huggins' right hand was trembling slightly, and after some thought, he decided not to delve further into the issue, and instead said, "That's the end of the topic." ”

Huggins bowed his head and said no more.

The door opened a crack, and Evie came in and said to Todd, "You haven't forgotten anything, have you?"

Todd said to Evie, "Are they in a hurry?"

"What do you say?"

Todd shook his hand at Huggins, "You stand down first." ”

Remembering His Majesty's reactivation, Huggins opened his mouth to ask something, but quickly abandoned the plan.

Looking at Huggins walking by, Evie tilted her head sideways and said to Todd, "I want to remind you that the group of guys out there is almost fighting. ”

Todd rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, got up from his chair, and walked to the door: "Let everyone gather in the main hall." ”

Evie blinked, "What do you want to do?"

Todd stepped out the door: "It's time for the people in the kingdom to understand our situation. ”

Waiheke Island, the residence of the Salamo Mermaid Chief.

Soaking the fish's tail in a seawater urn sprinkled with flower petals, the mermaid patriarch Rita closed her eyes and enjoyed the service of the maids.

"I didn't expect such an assassination to happen at a wedding. ”

"I've heard it's an emotional entanglement. ”

"Twilight isn't as safe as we expected. ”

Listening to the whispers of the maids, Rita slowly opened her eyes and let out a long breath.

The maids hurriedly closed their mouths and stopped talking to each other.

"What about the stupid shark?"

Hearing Rita's question, a maid hurriedly said, "The leader of the shark people, Jeger, has taken his people to the waters near Waiheke Island to build a fishing ground. ”

"Hmph, grazing, raising fish, doesn't that stupid shark have a better pursuit?" Rita turned over, her slender waist and plump figure moved with the waves in the water: "What's the use of more food?"

"Patriarch, what do you mean ......?"

Rita picked up a handful of seawater in her hand, watched the droplets fall from her fingertips, and said softly: "If you want to keep a place in this kingdom, the key is to find your own place. ”

"Originally, I was worried that the people of the Dragon Kingdom would be very repulsive to the outside races, but today's incident reminded me that they are also full of factions and contradictions, and they are simply too busy to take care of themselves. ”

Rita gently stirred the water with her hands, watching the ripples vibrate back and forth on the surface of the water.

"The murkier the waters, the bigger the prey. ”

The more the maids listened, the more confused they became.

Rita stopped what she was doing and suddenly asked something unrelated: "Did you see that 'Supreme Dildre' when you were in the venue today?"

The maids responded one after another.

"It's really funny. Rita smiled and said, "The great god will unite with mortals and give birth to children. ”

One of the maids whispered, "I've heard that the Supreme Dildre is a powerful xenomorph. ”

"Do you think that 'Supreme Dildre' can sit in today's position because of her ability?" Rita shook her fishtail amusedly: "It is rumored in the city that the dragon god has an intimate relationship with several women, why is she the only one who has the right to sit in that position?"

"Why?"

"Of course, it's because of the princess of the dragon kingdom, the blood of the gods. ”

Rita slapped the water with her fishtail and said, "According to the information currently available, the dragon god is thin, and the dragon god must attach great importance to this child, so her mother is not low...... Perhaps, it can be ......"

"Patriarch, it's not good!"

Looking at the clansmen who stumbled in, Rita asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"

"They!

Rita was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Tell me more clearly, who are they?!"

"The Quillia Merfolk, the Kinlasca Owl, the Aminai Shark...... There are many other races that we haven't encountered before!"

Rita asked her people in a loud voice, "What about what I told you before?"

"The Sharptooth Patriarch Jeger is leading his people to keep out the outsiders. We also told the people that this is the sea of the dragon god and that they are not allowed to trespass without permission. However, I'm afraid we won't last long. ”

Putting on the armor handed by the maid and picking up the trident, a symbol of power, Rita leaped into the sea with all her might, signaling her people to follow her.

Rita swam west from Waiheke Island for half an hour before finally reaching the forefront of the conflict.

Standing in the middle of the water, Rita looked ahead, shocked to the point of speech.

Beneath the calm sea, thousands of alien races of the sea gathered, all of them supporting the old and the young, ragged and tired, and everyone's face was full of uneasiness and anger.

"Stand back!" Shark-man Jeger led a hundred and ten people to form a human wall, and shouted at every alien who wanted to rush over, waving his weapon and shouting at him.

One of Rita's maids, hiding behind the shark man, shouted to the sea refugees in front of her, "Further beyond is the sea area of the dragon god, and you want to enter it without the permission of the gods, this is an insult to the dragon god!"

A male shark man who confronted Yager roared angrily: "The oracle sent down by the ancient god of the sea, Krakosh, who asked us to take refuge in the dragon god to escape the calamity!"

Another said, "You are also believers in Krakosh, why did the dragon god allow you to enter but refuse us?"

Rita slowly swam to the front and said unhurriedly, "Because before we entered, we had already obtained the approval of the dragon god, and after swearing allegiance and paying the price, he agreed to accept me and Jeger. ”

A sea alien covered in scales, with frog-like limbs and the appearance of a fish, approached Rita, stared into the latter's eyes and asked, "Does the dragon god ask you to renounce the faith of the old gods?"

Rita shook her head, "No, Gray Hoof, the dragon god agrees with us to keep our faith. ”

Hearing this, all the refugees at sea breathed a sigh of relief.

The alien of the sea known as the Grey Bird continued to ask, "Then what is the so-called price in your mouth?"

Rita said: "The army under the command of the dragon god is fighting against other kingdoms, and neither the land nor the resources are rich......"

Greyhoof, "So he wants us to give up our wealth and want us to fight for him?"

When the shark man heard this, he was a little confused: "The dragon god, never, mentioned, these, requested." ”

Rita's maid hurriedly gave him a silent gesture.

Rita ruffled her hair and nodded to the gray hoof, "If that's not the case, why would the dragon god want to help us heretics?"

Grey Bird closed his eyes: "I admit it, what you said makes sense, but we ......"

Behind him, a clansman couldn't help but cry: "Our homeland has been swallowed up by the plague, many of our family members have become immortal monsters, and when we escaped, we didn't even bring enough food to satisfy our food and clothing, where did we get the wealth to sacrifice to the dragon god, and where did we have the strength to fight for him?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the sadness of all the sea refugees, most of them cried on the spot, and some of them collapsed in the water in despair.

Looking at the tragic scene in front of her, the 'sentimental' Rita wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Just a few months ago, we were just like you. Thanks to the mercy of the dragon god, he lent us the tribe of Salamo and the sharptooth sharks, and now we have built a fishing ground here, scattered the fry, hungry, and just waiting for next year's harvest. ”

Jeger scratched his fins, confused: "Hungry? ”

One of Rita's maids flicked her fishtail and struck Jeger on the back: "Shut up!"

After a bit of sadness, Rita said to Greyhoof, "In the past, there may have been disagreements and even wars between us, but after all, we are all children of the old gods. I am willing to lend the dragon god to us the sea and share it with you, you can catch the food here, and the bottom of the sea here for you to settle down ......"

"Share?!" When Jeger heard this, he suddenly shouted, "No! here! belongs to us!"

Hearing Jeger's cries, the gray hoof's face was angry.

Rita approached Jegg and whispered, "Lend our place to these people, and I'll give you another fifty boxes of food." ”

Seeing that Rita had 'convinced' Jeger, Greyhoor was quite moved and said, "In the past, Salamor and Kinlasca have been fighting for territory, but what I didn't expect is that you are willing to help us today. However, Ryujin ...... there"

Rita smiled and said, "Although you don't have the wealth to sacrifice and can't fight for the dragon god right now, I am willing to lobby the dragon god for you and beg him to take you in." ”

Rita's words made all the ocean refugees present grateful.

Not only is he willing to share the sea, but he also promised to provide food, and even promised to go to the dragon god to intercede for all the sea refugees, such kindness and heart are enough to make the most demanding people grateful.

Greyhoor saluted Rita: "My father used to tell me that Salamo's merfolk were scheming and cunning, but what I have seen and heard today has convinced me that he must have been deceived by rumors......"

Rita smiled and said, "Only those who have actually touched the bottom of the sea will know the depth of the sea...... By the way, why isn't your wise father here today?"

Grey Hoov lowered his head: "Even in the face of the Black Plague, he still doesn't want to leave his homeland......"

Rita crossed her hands over her chest and said sincerely, "He is a great hero, a man who truly deserves respect. ”

After reaffirming her condolences to Greyhoof, Rita turned away, her smile slowly fading, and there was only pride and excitement in her expression.

"Old thing, it's good to die!"
