Chapter 165: Strange Weather
It was at this time that I spotted Kona among the princes and princesses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She was wearing the most gorgeous dress at this time, her hair was neatly coiled behind her, and she looked at Cullen with delight like other princesses. But her eyes are very sharp, faintly revealing murderous intent, and she can see that her current appearance is all pretended.
At this time, she also found me, and her expression was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting to see me here. For the rest of the day, her expression began to become unnatural, and she felt a little unsettled throughout the morning.
At this time, the king also saw me, and he asked Karen with a smile on his face, "Who is the great god?" It's like I've never seen him before......"
Karen smiled: "There are so many people around me who come and go, how can you see that your majesty is a newcomer?" Looks like you've noticed something special about him, right? He's the right-hand man I trust the most now, and it's not been long since I've been in this underwater city. I'm afraid I'll have to meet Your Majesty often in the future. ”
"Oh, I see, that's very good, very good!" The king laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood. After their messy greetings, the meeting finally ended, and as everyone dispersed and moved towards the annex, Kona suddenly appeared quietly behind me and whispered, "Don't speak, do as I instruct." "On the lower back, I could feel a cold metal against it.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, I didn't speak, just moved to the next room where no one was there, as she said. Finally, after making sure there was no one around, she forced me into a room and immediately closed the door.
Kona's movements were a little clumsy, and I couldn't figure out what she was up to, but I could see that she was a little nervous and excited, and she used the short knife that had been placed on my waist to hold against my neck. But since she's petite and I'm taller, the two of us are in a somewhat funny position now.
"Are you in league with those demons?" Kona asked in a low voice, her voice shaking. It was then that I realized what had happened, and it turned out that she had mistakenly thought that we were on the same side as Karen, even though it seemed that this was the case.
I thought about it, looked her in the eye, and replied, "Didn't you see them all?" ”
"And what about the ring?"
"The ring is already in Cullen's hand."
Kona was stunned for a moment, and after a while she lowered her head: "Sure enough, ......" Then as if she remembered something, she raised her head and stared at me viciously: "In that case, why are you lying to us?" Is it Karen who wants you to kill us all? Who are you? Are you a demon like Karen? Her hand became a little harder, and I could feel the knife in my neck getting closer to me, as if it was about to ooze blood.
I understand that she is quite emotional right now, probably because of a sense of frustration about being deceived, right? I can understand that. But I think it's better not to let her know about some things for the time being, so I didn't explain, just said, "Is it so important whether I'm a demon or not?" Life is hard work, but it is just to live without so much hard work. You should also understand what the situation in this underwater city is like. You don't fail to understand how hard it is to fight against Karen. Let's just say that our ambitions are different. There is no such thing as good or evil. Does the devil have to be evil? It's just a law of nature. Even if you kill me now, it won't change anything. ”
Unexpectedly, instead of calming Kona, my words made her emotions even more uplifted: "So what? What's wrong with me choosing to defend my homeland! If what you do harms the interests of the undersea city, I will never let you go, and instead of making you wrong again and again, I will kill you right now! "I saw her eyes start to redden, and her eyeballs became moist.
It made me feel a little overwhelmed in an instant. Because I've been in the Holy Court for a few years, to be honest, there really aren't any gentle soft girls around me, and I've never seen them cry. Kona's crying suddenly made me feel a little unaccustomed. But now that the knife in her hand is still against my neck, it doesn't seem good to snatch it directly, so how can that be?
At that moment, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw that the sky outside suddenly flickered and became pitch black. Although it was back to normal immediately, I heard a sound similar to thunder. And it went on, and then it began to flash again, as if the bubbles outside Duka were about to be pierced. You must know that although this underwater city can simulate the change of day and night, but in the end, there is no weather, and the day just gives people a feeling of abundant light, but it has never rained? Not to mention being able to thunder. So what's going on? Could it be that this is also Karen's conspiracy?
I was just feeling surprised when I suddenly heard a lot of people outside looking for Kona, shouting everywhere. Listening to the noisy footsteps, it seemed that there was a mess outside.
"Princess Kona, where are you?"
"Princess, come out quickly, don't be sad!"
"Princess, don't cry, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved."
Listening to their chaotic shouts, I suddenly realized that the abnormal change in the weather outside might have something to do with Kona. To prevent the situation from getting worse, I grabbed the knife from her hand and threw it on the ground. Kona became panicked in an instant, and as soon as her center of gravity shifted, she became a little unstable.
I subconsciously pulled her so that she wouldn't fall to the ground. She threw herself on top of me, her face full of surprise, but her mood seemed to have stabilized somewhat.
At this time, the weather outside has gradually calmed down, and there seems to be nothing going on. But I was worried that she might lose control of my emotions again, so I quickly left this place of right and wrong and returned to the big team.
That night, I was still thinking about the events of the day, and I always felt a little incredible.
Rollo lay on the bed, looked at me, and said, "What are you thinking?" So focused. ”
I said, "Do you see the anomaly of the sky today?" ”
"See! But what's so strange about this, isn't it just that the sea princess is excited, this is also a common thing in the underwater city, and it is not unusual. The inhabitants of this place should be used to it. ”
Not unusual? So how come I've never heard of it? I looked back at him and thought it was a little incredible.
Luo Luo glanced at me with disgust, sat up, and said, "It's a shame that you've been in the Holy Court for so long, and you've read so many historical materials of various races, why don't you even know this?" This is the foundation of the Sea Clan! What did you think they relied on to migrate to Haiti 10,000 years ago? Where do these bubbles come from? Although this is not a deep sea, and the pressure on the bottom of the sea is not too large, it is impossible for such a large bubble to appear for no reason, right? It's a shame that you Protoss also participated in formulating the laws at the beginning, why don't you know anything! ”
I looked at him helplessly and said, "I just remember that at that time, Kona was a little emotional, and then the sky suddenly flashed, and I don't know why. As I spoke, I don't know when Rollo suddenly moved next to me, his chin propped up, his amber eyes blinking at me, very close to my face. I'm a little unaccustomed to it. I moved a little bit in disgust so that I could keep a proper distance from him. Luo Luo was not annoyed, just scratched his hair, and said with a smile: "That's not easy, because she is about to cry." As he spoke, he asked, "Do you remember the last time you cried?" I didn't understand what he meant by asking this question, but I thought about the answer to it.
As a result, I made a surprising discovery: I never seemed to cry myself. It doesn't seem right to say that, I guess I've never shed tears, and I still howled a lot when I was a child.
Rollo seemed to see through my thoughts, and smiled: "Never cried? It's normal not to cry, because weeping and dreaming are things that only a spirit can do. That is, only species with souls can shed tears and dream. Think about it, have you never dreamed before? ”
It seems to be exactly what he said. Although I seemed to have seen several dream-like visions in front of me when I was asleep, it turned out that those scenes were either real or had been spelled in advance. I don't think I've seen any dreams.
Rollo continued: "It is so, these two acts are also considered symbols of the soul. Originally, the Sea Clan, relocated to the bottom of the sea and gained longevity was agreed with the law, and the person who participated in this ceremony was a noble lady in the Sea Clan. In order to prove her loyalty and sincerity, she deposited a part of her most important soul as a mortgage with Mother Earth, and the remaining part of her soul returned to the sea as a reward for Mother Earth's return and commitment to the Sea Clan, becoming a bubble outside this underwater city to protect this place for generations. And although the Sea Clan lives a long life, there will always be a day of death. After the death of the original noble lady, the mission of enshrined the underwater city continued to her children. In this way, the generations continued, and the descendants of the noble lady gradually became the royal families of the various city-states of this underwater city. In other words, the space under the sea is completely supported by the power of the royal family, which is why the royal family in the underwater city has never changed. There are many different countries in the underwater city, and the royal families of each country are descendants of the original noble lady. In every royal family, there is a princess who is responsible for guarding the city. Or the king's sister, or the king's daughter. Of course, not every princess has inherited this power, only one. The princess who inherited this ability will be treated differently and will be worshiped as the 'sea princess', and her status will be even higher than that of the king. Although the highest status in this Duka town should be Karen now...... It is precisely because some of the souls of the people who inherit the identity of the sea princess are not in the underwater city, so the state of her soul is not very stable. Therefore, the act of crying is strictly static for the sea princess. If Cona does cry and cause a void in her soul to become unstable, it could cause the entire covered bubble to burst, and the town will be completely destroyed. Therefore, most of the sea princesses are not happy, and in order to maintain emotional stability, they often live in high walls and never marry for life. So when Byron told us that Cona was the princess of the sea, I was a little surprised, and I didn't expect that the king would let her go out of the palace at will. ”
