Chapter 52: The Song of the Siren
"Your Highness, it's time to go to the White Jade Divine Palace to preside over the meeting. "At the beginning of another month, while Muria was sleeping in a daze, a storm giant came in and told him.
"Hmm!" Muria raised her head, opened her eyes sleepily, answered in a low voice, and then turned over, directly facing the storm giant, "You wait first, and then I'll sleep." ”
It was only at the end of the day that Muria had completely slept enough, and he sat up and stretched out with a comfortable face. This is the life he wants, sleeping until he wakes up naturally, counting the money in his hand......
Well, forget it, money or something, for him now, it's too low-level, and it's not something he's pursuing. According to the report of the Storm Giant, they have explored several gold and silver veins on Taiji Island, and they are also rich ores.
However, Muria did not order the mining, and there were enough gold, silver, and precious stones in his castle, and if there were any more, he would take up space, and he could not eat or drink gold or silver, nor could he use it for forging, and it had no effect except decoration.
"Hey, why are you still here?" Muriah tilted his head to see the Storm Giant lying on his knees all the time.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting according to your orders. The Storm Giant said respectfully.
"How long have you waited?" Muria looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, and knew that the storm giant had been waiting for him on his knees.
"He didn't have to wait long, just over three hours. At that moment, a cold, childish voice answered Muria's question.
Muria tilted her head, and on the side of the giant bed large enough to accommodate him in his Titan form, sat a little white-haired girl holding a book and reading: "Yo, Claudia, good morning." ”
"The morning has passed. Claudia looked at Muria expressionlessly and corrected, "Moreover, now you should go to the White Jade Shrine, the representatives of the giants and the leader of the Sea Clan have been waiting for you all morning." ”
"Ahem, go now. Muria coughed a little embarrassedly, since he woke up, the great strength has given him a strong self-confidence, he no longer needs the Storm Giant as the basis of his rule, his force alone is enough.
Therefore, for the meeting that he held on time every month before he fell asleep, now he is a little contemptuous, he does not attach importance to this kind of meeting, Muria does not believe that anyone on Taiji Island dares to betray him after seeing his true body.
"I'll go with you. Claudia put down the book and looked at Muria fixedly, going to the White Jade Shrine and watching Muria preside over the meeting was a visual and spiritual treat.
"Yes. Muria agreed without the slightest hesitation, as the only school tyrannosaur among hundreds of five-colored dragons, Muria is extremely tolerant of Claudia, and can almost be said to be responsive.
"Your Highness!" Sixty brightly armored storm giants saluted Muria with their giant mounts, as Muria led Claudia to the castle platform.
"Hmm. Muria nodded in response. There are more than 300 Storm Giants under his command, and only more than 60 of them have giant mounts. These giants can be said to be the elite of the storm giants.
So, Muria ordered that only he travel, and these giants with the giant peng storm should follow and act as his guard of honor.
"Let's go!" Behind the thirty-two-meter-tall teenage titan, a pair of dragon wings covered in golden feathered scales stretched, and then, he leaned down and hugged a white dragon that was small for him.
"Let go of me! I can fly myself. The white dragon Claudia struggled in Muria's arms.
"You're too slow, we don't have anyone waiting for you, don't move. Muria patted the white dragon in his arms and whispered to reassure. Behind him, the pair of golden dragon wings fanned hard, and he led the white dragon to the sky.
"Wow!" "Wow!"...... Behind Muria, one Storm Giant after another rode the Giant Roc closely behind.
In the air, above the vast forest sea, Muria, surrounded by many storm giant knights, did not fly long before she saw a pure white city.
In the city, giants of different colors and heights come and go, a scene of harmony and prosperity.
And when Muria and his party came to the sky above the City of Giants, one giant after another looked at his figure, and knelt down as always, regardless of age or race.
Muria looked down at the back of his head below, his face did not change in the slightest, at first, he would still be surprised and shocked by this kind of scene, but year after year, month after month, Muria became accustomed to numbness.
He flew directly into the White Jade Divine Palace in the center of the Giant City, and landed in the largest White Jade Divine Palace, a pair of dragon wings retracted, and he stepped in.
"Hum, hum!" Muria heard a cacophony of chatter the moment he walked into the council hall, but when the giants and the Sea Clan leaders in the hall saw him, the whole hall suddenly became silent, and the pins could be heard.
"Your Highness Muria. The hall was silent for only three seconds, and all the giants and sea clan leaders bowed down to Muria, saluting, and their expressions were extremely respectful, and Muria's current strength was enough to make them feel awe.
"What are you talking about? Tell me. Muria in Titan form stepped up to the nine-story tower-shaped platform, turned and sat on the wide throne, looking down.
"Your Highness, we were just discussing, ...... you today," a six-armed Naga spoke, and she paused, giving Muria a cautious glance before continuing, "Why did you come later than usual?"
"Oh?" Muria's brow furrowed, then quickly let go, and he smiled as he looked at the six-armed Naga below, "I think your name is Diana!"
"Yes. Your Highness. Diana, the half-human, half-snake, six-armed Naga Warlord bowed her head and replied, "It's a great honor that you still remember my name. ”
"Well, it's still as pompous as ever. Muria muttered under the spicy words of praise from the spicy ears of the Naga Commander with a bewitching face below.
"I was late today because of something special. Muria cheekily explained to the giants and the Sea Clan leader below, he couldn't say that he was late because he was in bed, so shameless.
Muria's words made the Storm Giants who followed him into the main hall and scattered around the hall twitched, they all knew why Muria was late today, but none of them were stupid enough to expose Muria's words, and it was not like this to die.
Next, according to the council process presided over by Muria before, Muria first met with all the giants who came to Taiji Island last month, and then listened to the reports of the giants representatives and the leaders of the Sea Clan on Taiji Island.
Many of the Cloud Giant leaders still report to Muria how much they have expanded the City of Giants, and eight other exiled Cloud Giant Leaders report to Muria on the production of fruit and meat on the islands they are responsible for.
As for the Tidal Giants and the Sea Clan Commanders, their reports made Muria even more bored, and they were reporting on the treasures they had looted in the endless ocean, such as crystal gems and so on.
Only the report of the representative of the mountain giants made Muria a little interested, and many years of living with many cloud giants made many mountain giants get rid of barbarism, understand their ignorance, and begin to take the initiative to learn.
The mountain giants of the City of Giants are no longer the barbarian giants holding wooden sticks and wearing animal skins as before, they have also learned to dress up, and the mountain giants they see on the streets of the City of Giants are generally wearing soft robes.
As for the weapons used by the mountain giants, they have all been replaced, and the forging methods of the giants' weapons are not something that can be learned in a short period of time, so the mountain giants will not forge metal weapons by themselves, but they will ask the cloud giants for help.
Therefore, every mountain giant who has lived in the city of giants for a long time will have a complete change, and this change makes every new mountain giant who comes to the city of giants feel unbelievable.
"I ask one thing. Muria raised his hand to stop the chatter below and reported to him the representative of the giant in the city of giants, the mountain giants with a new look, "You said that in the city of giants, there are many mountain giants who are studying hard, then I ask you, if I assign you a large construction task, can you mountain giants complete it independently?"
"Yes. Hearing Muria's question, the Mountain Giant Representative hesitated for a second, then raised his head and replied with a determined face.
"Very good!" Muria smiled, he had long felt that the talent of the mountain giants was used to build infrastructure, and he had long wanted to establish a construction corps composed of mountain giants, but because the knowledge level of the mountain giants was too low, he could not establish it for a long time.
"You have planned a path for me from the City of Giants to the Five-Colored Dragon Castle, and I hope to see your construction drawings before I leave today. "Muria gave the Mountain Giants a mission.
"As you wish, Your Highness. "The mountain giants in the main hall have retreated, and they have to negotiate the design drawings before the deadline given by Muria.
"Done with the report?" asked Muria as night wore his chin in his hand and asked a little lazily.
"It's all done!"
"Haven't the mountain giants come yet?" Muria frowned, and then he looked at the place where the many sea clan leaders stood under the main hall, where there were more than a dozen large light blue water balls, the water balls were suspended in the air, and among the water balls, there were mermaids with delicate faces and upper bodies that were no different from humans, and they were suspended in the water balls.
This is a way for mermaids who like water to come ashore, they just participate in meetings, and they don't need to fight, so there is no need to choose the uncomfortable way of turning the fishtail into human legs.
"The Siren, and the darling of the sea, the mermaid. Muria looked at the merfolk below, and he remembered what was recorded in the inheritance memory, and a strong curiosity rose up:
"I've heard that the Sirens like to sit on the reef and sing, and their voices can confuse all the creatures in their vicinity, often causing passing ships to run aground and sink. Can you let me feel this singing, the siren chiefs?"
"Your Highness, our singing will confuse the minds of most creatures, isn't it appropriate to sing here?" said a plump kraken with a fishtail and a plump body.
"Oh, what's the matter, Siren Commander, do you think your Siren's seductive voice can confuse me?" Murria narrowed her eyes and looked down at the beautiful mermaid with her shells in shame.
"I didn't think so, Your Highness. The Siren bowed his head in fear, "I'm going to offer you my song." ”
