CHAPTER XLII
Chapter 42: The Beginning and End of the Similar Two Events (2) The Heart of Civilization
When Xia Ziyu and Lin Ye were standing outside the palace, the other party's people were already standing at the door to greet them.
It may be a relationship of cultural assimilation by humans, and mermaids basically like to live in an environment without water, or where they live in a waterless environment.
This palace was built when the Atlantean civilization was still alive, and a huge energy membrane enveloped the palace, separating it from the sea water.
Even yesterday's earthquake didn't devastate it in the slightest.
The palace is made of crystal, and even at the bottom of the sea, it exudes a beautiful and touching beauty.
Belea, who was blonde and blue-eyed and wearing a gorgeous long dress, appeared in front of Xia Ziyu's eyes like this.
Belia lowered her head, bent down slightly, and her voice was a little elegant, "I've seen Your Excellency." ”
"No need to be polite." Xia Ziyu said, and therefore missed the stunned look in the eyes of the person who bowed his head.
Xia Ziyu didn't want to wade into this troubled water at all, but who let her be known by the empire that she was now in Blue Star.
In the words of the empire, Xia Ziyu is a person with good ability and a talent. The most important thing is that he is still very loyal to the empire, and he is simply a person who can't be used well.
"Meet for the second time, Your Highness." Xia Ziyu bowed slightly, "This time, I just asked a few questions, so I don't have to be nervous." ”
Lin Ye looked at her who took a step forward, but his mind was all attracted by the blonde princess opposite.
A very familiar feeling, that face...... Lin Ye didn't have time to think about it, but he saw Xia Ziyu stretching out his hand towards her, and he couldn't stand at the door all the time.
Taking Xia Ziyu's hand, Lin Ye held it, not noticing the surprised gazes of the mermaids around him.
A face that looks like His Highness......
The group went to the palace, and since they came, it was imperative to see the mermaid emperor.
Belia had a noble and generous smile on her face, her steps were elegant, and she smiled at Xia Ziyu and said some interesting things. Looking at it like this, I really can't see that the two of them don't actually have any friendship.
If you don't know, you may think it's a familiar friend...... and the singer Belea, a completely different character.
"I've seen Your Majesty." Xia Ziyu looked at the mermaid emperor who was sitting on the throne and was said to be more than eight hundred years old, leaning forward slightly, which was considered a salute.
Regardless of the relationship between the Empire and the Merfolk, this is at least superficial respect.
"Belea, take them around." Perici Atlantis IX nodded and looked at Belea, who was standing to the side.
"Yes, Father." Belia smiled faintly.
Xia Ziyu saw that there seemed to be something wrong between the father and daughter, but she couldn't care so much about other people's affairs, so she just bowed her head to Belia, "Your Royal Highness Princess Lao." ”
When he turned around and went out, Xia Ziyu thought that he wanted this Belia to come down and explain.
Belia turned to the maid behind her and said, "Elle, you take this ...... Well, Madame walk around and take a look, I have something to say to Major General Xia. ”
"Go ahead." Xia Ziyu nodded and said to Lin Ye, she had told Lin Ye before she came.
If the merfolk didn't want to tear their faces, they wouldn't do anything at this juncture. So she was also very relieved of Lin Ye's safety......
"Say it." Looking at Lin Ye's departing figure, Xia Ziyu looked calm and moved his gaze to Belia in front of him.
"Let's talk as we go, it's the second time we've met." Belia's tone was very flat, as if she didn't care about the meaning of Xia Ziyu's words.
"The third time." Xia Ziyu looked at Belia with an indifferent attitude, and her cold appearance was completely different from what Lin Ye usually saw.
Such an attitude made Belia feel at ease, and Xia Ziyu, who matched the information in her hand, could make her plan successful.
"It's really the third time, isn't there anything you have any doubts about, Major General Xia? For example, the faces of His Royal Highness and Madame Ling are so similar...... Or why do you want to change your face to be a singer 'Belia'. ”
"It is not surprising that people have similarities and similarities. Her Royal Highness still told me about the accident yesterday, and the theft of the unknown alien warship and treasure. ”
Xia Ziyu is not so easy to fool, she looked at Belia coldly, the surveillance placed by humans is far stricter than that of mermaids.
"So what does the Major General want to hear?" A mesmerizing smile bloomed on the corner of Belea's lips, kicking the problem back to Xia Ziyu like kicking a ball, now the intelligence of the two sides is not equal, and no one knows if the other party knows more than himself.
But for humans to know about the theft of the Poseidon Heart, Belia was a little surprised but felt reasonable.
A large part of the humans' indulgence of merfolk is because of their Poseidon Heart, but I don't know why they didn't use forcible robbery to seize it, but instead took this relatively gentle approach to study Poseidon's Heart.
"The Heart of the Sea God, Yi Lan, an unknown force, a mermaid who has disappeared inexplicably for several years, and you!" Xia Ziyu looked at Belia flawlessly, even if she didn't have much information in her hands, but these key things could actually let her see some context.
She tuned out Yi Lan's identity and saw it, but she didn't know why she was expelled by the mermaid clan, and she became a performer in a corner of peace.
Xia Ziyu is not very clear about the heart of the sea god. I only know that the former Atlantean civilization of the mermaid clan was established because of the 'Poseidon Heart'.
But she didn't know what the Poseidon Heart looked like, and with her permission, she couldn't access the archives of the Poseidon Heart.
The theft of the heart of the sea god was also the moment before Xia Ziyu set off, and the entourage around her sued her. As for the entourage, she was separated by Perici Atlantis IX when she met him, and it was useless.
"The Poseidon Heart has indeed been stolen, Ilhan ......" Belia said of Illan, feeling that her thoughts had been split into two parts.
Half said that Yi Lan didn't mean it, and left her for the sake of the future of the mermaids. The other half laughed at her weakness indifferently, and actually handed over the heart of the sea god to Yi Lan with her own hands, so that she left without care.
"Would you like to hear the ins and outs of this incident?" Belia turned her head to look at Xia Ziyu, her expression was a little dazed, and she didn't know if she remembered the past.
"I want to hear about it." Xia Ziyu was silent for a while and said, she felt that she might know something she shouldn't know.
The heart of the sea god, the heart of civilization, maybe she doesn't know the empire as well as she thinks......
"My name is Belea, and I am the seventh daughter of my father......"
Belia didn't know what her mother looked like since she was a child, but she wasn't upset because she had a father who doted on her.
Unlike her other siblings, she grew up very quickly, and she was already slim in nineteen years.
Maybe she's a merfolk and a human child...... She snuck out of the palace when she was twelve years old and ran into Yi Lan on the way.
To put it mildly, she never left the palace a few years later.
Because after her father heard her say what Yi Lan looked like, he forbade her to find someone.
The silver-haired, purple-eyed mermaid is the sinner of their Atlantean clan.
The characteristics of the royal family are blonde hair and blue eyes, and the light golden fishtail is a symbol of their noble blood.
After the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, she sneaked out, dressed no different from an ordinary mermaid before daring to approach Yi Lan.
Illan is a very mysterious person, Belia has always been unable to see through her, and she can live a better life, but she has to stay in the recital hall and play the harp.
She had seen Illan slam the golden harp that she played every day on the ground in disgust, even so......
Belia chuckled lowly, her tone a little sickly, "I just like the way she looks, it makes me feel more excited than the usual look of being high and not caring about anything." ”
Is there something wrong with the feelings, and there is still a heartbeat...... Xia Ziyu looked at the abnormal smile on Belea's face, and was shocked in her heart, not expecting Belea's feelings for Yi Lan.
"Before that explosion, not long after I returned to my dormitory, I saw some people invading the forbidden place where the Poseidon's Heart was kept."
"Do you know why I am called His Royal Highness by all the mermaids, instead of the Seventh Princess by ranking? Because I'm different from the others, I'm going to inherit the crown of the merfolk, or the flame of civilization in Atlantis...... Or maybe it's because I was born different......"
didn't call himself His Royal Highness, but said 'I', Belia turned her head to look at Xia Ziyu's expression was a little flamboyant, and her expression was radiant, "I originally wanted to stop it, but I didn't expect to see a person inside......"
"Illan." Xia Ziyu spit out a name.
"Yes, that's her. The ones next to her were all mechas, and only she was slowly approaching the heart of the sea god. Hearing her words, Belia glanced at Xia Ziyu.
Belia suddenly walked in front of her, and Xia Ziyu followed although she didn't understand.
At last they stopped, and in front of them was the most remote of all palaces, but it was not deserted. The furnishings inside are all exquisite, and even the rare flowers of this land are planted.
Ascend to the top of the palace and look into the distance, as far as the eye can see, the deep sea, this is already the last place that the energy barrier can cover.
"Where, it's a forbidden place for our people." Belia raised her hand to the deep sea.
"The Poseidon Heart is where it is placed, there are only two people who can take the Poseidon Heart, but yesterday I met a third person."
What Belia didn't say was that she snatched the Heart of the Seagod, but she gave it to Yi Lan with both hands. Maybe it was Illan who let those people let her go...... Let her still have illusions.
"The organization." Xia Ziyu asked, there were actually warships under the jurisdiction of the empire that were completely unrecorded.
She had checked that the battleship did not belong to any of the powers currently known.
"I don't know, but it's not the first time that force has appeared. The only thing I can tell you is that there are never only people in the merfolk who are subservient to the Empire, and there is another faction that is unwilling to retreat into a planet and wants to rebuild the glory of Atlantean civilization. ”
"Why sue me for this?" Xia Ziyu looked at the person in front of her, the major general of her empire, wasn't she afraid that she would report these things to the empire.
"Will you?" Belia scoffed.
No, Xia Ziyu replied in her heart. Because the merfolk don't have any threatening abilities, their technology simply can't compete with the Empire.
Belia looked into the distance, "The number of disappeared merfolk is not the same as the number of missing merfolks. ”
"That's all I know, I don't know the rest. All I can say is that the Poseidon Heart is very important, and it is a level for us and the Heart of Civilization among you humans! ”
"Even if it's destroyed, we won't let it go unnoticed...... This time it's my reason, so if the Human Empire wants to investigate, it has nothing to do with the rest of my race. ”
"I understand, I will tell the upper echelons of the empire in full what you said." Xia Ziyu nodded expressionlessly.
"Then it's troublesome." Belia smiled, not knowing that Xia Ziyu in front of her hadn't even heard of what a civilized heart was.
Lin Ye was taken around by the maid named Ai'er, and after attracting attention to the novelty, he completely forgot about the three chapters of the covenant with Xia Ziyu.
So much so that when Ai'er said that there was something to leave, Lin Ye happily let her go.
Now there is no head and a fly in the palace, Lin Ye really can't cry this time, how can she not know that her sense of direction is so bad.
I clearly remember that she came from this side, why the surrounding buildings can't be distinguished all of a sudden.
Lin Ye, who felt that the buildings had become the same, and found that he was stupid again, finally gave up the idea of finding his own way, and honestly opened his light brain to send a message to Xia Ziyu.
But...... When I bought it, it was said that the personal terminal with no communication barrier in the planet was available. Give her a break at this time!
Lin Ye put away her light brain indignantly, since she couldn't find Xia Ziyu, she could only rely on herself.
What Lin Ye didn't know was that Xia Ziyu's military personal terminal, known as the pressure of interstellar communication, had no way to communicate here.
As for the reason for the inability to communicate, it has not yet been determined.
With black hair and black eyes, Lin Ye and Belia's appearance is seven points similar, and the return rate is not low. There were so many people on the road before, and now she didn't see anyone when she needed someone to ask for directions.
Lin Ye was a little anxious, she was afraid that Xia Ziyu would not be able to find her after the matter was discussed.
If she could look down from above, Lin Ye would know that the path she was traveling on was leading to the most central position in this palace.
Contrary to Belea's palace, this palace is located in the very center, but it can be seen that it is dilapidated and desolate.
Lin Ye was a little scared, there was no one along the way, and the palace in front of her didn't know why it gave her a very bad feeling.
She had wanted to say that the door was open and go in and ask for directions. But now, she thinks she's trying to see if there's another way.
"Since Your Highness has come here, why did you turn around and leave, didn't you figure it out and come to me?" A somewhat hoarse male voice made Lin Ye turn around.
Is there anyone here? She turned to look at the palace gates, but was startled by the person in front of her.
With an old face, black and white hair color, her lips opened, "You ......"
"Aren't you Your Highness?" That person looked at Lin Ye and frowned.
"My name is Lin Ye, eh, I'm lost." Looking at that person innocently, Lin Ye had the urge to run away if he wanted to.
"It's weird...... How can you look so much like Your Highness, wait! The man lowered his head and muttered, as if he remembered something, and suddenly looked up.
"You're human, no, you're an omega!" Ruying's sharp eyes stared at Lin Ye tightly, and an arrow stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "What's your mother's name!" ”
"Huh?" Lin Ye didn't look like he was understanding the situation at all, he felt that his wrist was scratched and it hurt a little, so he struggled, "Can you let go of ......?"
Just when Lin Ye was a little helpless by what was in front of her, a voice like a heavenly voice saved her.
"What's going on?" Xia Ziyu looked at the person who was grabbed by the wrist.
Well, it's actually the sound of a person freezing to death, but when it falls on her ears, it's like being saved.
Lin Ye hurriedly turned around, Fang Cai's distress was swept away, and he looked at Xia Ziyu with a smile, a little impulsive to rush up and hug her.
Seeing Xia Ziyu's unhappy gaze, Lin Ye wanted to cry without tears, there have been a lot of perverts in these years.
The distress man looked at Xia Ziyu, "Ziyu, you are here." ”
"Hmm. Can you let go of my wife's hand? Xia Ziyu frowned and looked at Lin Ye's wrist that was being pulled.
The man let go of Lin Ye's hand, glanced at Xia Ziyu a few times, and glanced back and forth at Lin Ye's Xia Ziyu's body, smiling a little subtle.
"Sorry, rude." The man said without sincerity, and after seeing Belea, Fang's cloudy eyes became a little clear.
"Like, you two are so similar!" As if he was crazy, he circled around Lin Ye and Belea, and the man's laughter became more and more rampant, "Hahaha, if you don't know...... I thought it was ...... It really worked......"
"You don't have to pay attention to him, he's been talking crazy like this." Belea's eyes were a little sharp and she looked at the person who couldn't stop laughing, "Elle, lock him up for me!" ”
"Yes." Elle, who looked weak and weak, stepped forward and kicked the person back into the door, slamming it into the lock.
"Sorry for the joke." Belia said calmly.
Hopefully the old madman didn't say anything he couldn't say...... Belia thought to herself.
"It's okay, although it's not under my control, but I hope to be able to give me an explanation for the matter of imprisoning the civilians of the empire." Xia Ziyu's attitude was calm, although she couldn't hear the words of that person just now, but Belia's concealed attitude was very problematic.
That person is Alpha, but he looks like he has lived at the bottom of the sea for many years, which has to make people suspicious.
