Chapter 46: The Winged Prince and the Princess of the Deep Sea
The empty hall was extremely quiet, the breeze blew through the long ice-blue hair of the sea clouds, the hair was scattered in the wind, and the snow-white skin was like moonlight sprinkled on the entire hall. The nights on Ray Island were a little cool, but Xiu and Haiyun didn't feel cold. Roses and yellow-and-white tulips began to bloom at the table, crystal chandeliers on the high dome shone like diamonds, ancient murals painted on the walls around them, and one hundred and eight chairs reserved for the one hundred and eight best Thunder Islanders were still empty.
"Originally, the Triphas Auditorium had a throne. Xiu Shuo turned around and pointed to the chimney behind him and explained, "A hundred years ago, there was no such chimney, and there was a throne in the place of the chimney, and at the bottom of the throne was a wavy fan with a radius of fifteen meters, which looked like waves stretching to both sides from a distance. The staircase of the throne has nineteen steps and leads directly to the throne of the king, which is high above. The king's throne was a simple, large chair made of red jade. Xiu sighed, "It's just that after the Battle of Thunder Island, all this is not needed, because the people on Thunder Island are dead." ”
"Then why don't you give up on Thunder Island?"
"Because this is my home. Xiu said, "This world is waiting for me to save, and now is not the time to leave here." ”
"It turns out that you are really the savior. Haiyun said with a smile.
Haiyun has seen the strength of cultivation, and it can be said that his strength is at least above that of any legendary spiritual power inheritor, and it may be even more unfathomable. Maybe he can save the world.
"No one can save everyone, only those who have not given up hope. Xiu said obscurely, "The world seems to be peaceful, but the more peaceful it is, all the dangers and hidden dangers are ignored by people. ”
Haiyun casually picked up another plate of food, which was already the hundredth plate she had eaten.
"In any case, my Claude, I will definitely be with you as long as you want to do it, because we are two people who cannot be separated. Haiyun said as he thrust the food back and forth on the plate with the fork in his hand.
Xiu rolled his eyes and repeated tirelessly: "Please call me Xiu!"
"Okay, my Claude!" Haiyun said with a polite nod.
"Have you eaten enough?" asked Xiu.
"It's not close. ”
"Close?" Xiu looked at the dazzling array of empty plates on the table in surprise, he had removed the empty plates several times, but it didn't take long for the food that had not been touched in the slightest to be eaten.
Although Xiu knew that the people of the Sea Clan could eat the food of the second half of the year, he didn't expect it to be so amazing, not to mention that she was also a beautiful princess of the Sea Kingdom.
"Does your stomach fit?"
Haiyun stared at Xiu and pouted, "You take care of me." Our sea people's stomachs are different from yours, and everything we eat can be converted into energy and stored. Haiyun lowered his head and spit out the bones in his mouth and said: "I have a small appetite in the sea country, you don't see how many dishes they eat the day before the sea clan warriors fight, it is no exaggeration to tell you that an army will eat a country's food for a year." ”
"The Sea Tribesmen are so funny. ”
Haiyun tilted his head and said mischievously: "After all, the Sea Clan is a mermaid, and it is only through the baptism of the Phokisha Crystal that they have grown legs. ”
"Do the Sea Clan really have a cold-blooded pattern?"
Haiyun shook his head, "I don't know, legend has it that it was the Heart of the Ocean that suppressed our cold-blooded mode, so we haven't had a cold-blooded pattern since the first Sea King Hayin. ”
"Presumably, this is also one of the reasons why Aquaman must have the heart of the ocean!"
"Yes, the Sea Clan, which was once in cold-blooded mode, is also known as the Plague of the Sea, and the Heart of the Ocean saves not only the Sea Clan, but the entire sea. ”
"Now you have another reason to be stronger. Xiu said thoughtfully, "You shouldn't have fully mastered the Heart of the Ocean by now!"
"What do you mean?" the smile on Haiyun's face began to stiffen.
"You're right. Xiu said, "If you can't harness the Heart of the Sea in time, the entire Sea Clan will enter cold-blooded mode on the night of the full moon, and countless Sea Nation people will fall into this slaughter at that time." It is very likely that the 10,000-year glory of the Sea Clan will come to an end because of this. ”
"Second brother, do they know about this?"
"Haiyin and Hai Weiwei probably don't know. Xiu said, "These secrets are only understood by the inheritors of the Heart of the Sea. So you're on your own. Xiu looked at Haiyun and asked, "When is the next full moon night in Ye Na City?"
"How long is it now?"
"Second Holy Alliance, September 13, 478. ”
Haiyun breathed a sigh of relief, "The night of the full moon is the middle of June every year, and the moon is at its roundest in the sky over Yena City on that night. ”
"Then you have more than nine months to improve your strength. Xiu said, "That time should be enough for you to harness the Heart of the Ocean." Xiu paused and asked, "Are you going to tell Haiyin about this?"
"Nope. Haiyun said resolutely, "If this matter is told to them, it is likely to cause panic in Haiguo, and in nine months, I am still very confident." ”
"It's for the best. Xiu muttered.
Haiyun put down the last plate in his hand, wiped his mouth with a plate of tissues, and asked, "So is this dinner party over?"
"There are still some desserts and fruits, can you still eat them?" Xiu snapped his fingers, and the empty plates on the table disappeared immediately. Xiu snapped his fingers again, and more than thirty plates of various desserts and fruits immediately appeared on the table, as if by magic.
"Looks like you're well prepared. Haiyun smiled, directly took a plate of fruit and began to eat it with relish, "Since you carefully prepared it, of course I have to laugh." ”
"You're welcome, Cloud, it's my pleasure. Xiu smiled happily.
Haiyun ate plate after plate, and there were more and more empty plates.
"Where do you grow all these fruits, can you grow so many fruits on Thunder Island?" Haiyun asked.
Xiu replied: "Of course, Thunder Island is a very magical place, and nothing is impossible here. If you're interested, in a few days I can take you to see the orchards and vegetable patches on the island of Ray, which are all beautiful. ”
"That's so much appreciated. Haiyun ate several plates of desserts and fruits in a row.
Xiu stared at Haiyun carefully and asked happily, "Do you mind if I tell a story?"
"What's the story?"
"The Winged Prince and the Princess of the Deep. ”
"But we all know this fairy tale!" Haiyun said, holding a plate of fruit.
Xiu smiled, "Would you like to listen?"
"If you are willing to cultivate, how can I not want to listen?"
"Alright, I'll get started. Xiu coughed lightly and cleared his throat, and said to Haiyun, who was eating dessert: "The prince of the heavenly kingdom fell in love with Haixin, the princess of the Sea Clan, and made an eternal vow. Who would have thought that Guang would thus violate the prohibition of the Kingdom of Heaven and be imprisoned in the Kingdom of Heaven forever and never descend to the mortal world. Taurazu, the wise man of the Sea Clan, helps Princess Haixin learn that Guang is not dead, but the princess betrays her to the god of darkness, Agaman, at the cost of a quarter of her soul. Princess Haixin searched the entire ocean in search of Guang, and the earth blocked her way. So she found the dark mage Pigu Bryan and imprisoned half of her soul in the blood of Wollaston, and every drop she drank could maintain her human form on land for a week. Princess Haixin searched for Prince Guang on land for ten years to no avail, so the unwilling Princess Haixin visited the Star Clan prophet Zinord and asked him to divinate where Chuguang was. Zinod granted the princess's request, and in exchange, Zinod asked Princess Hesin to help him find the treasure of Kenriwa. After another three years, the princess searched for the treasure of Kenriwa, but on the way, she lost her right arm and went blind in her left eye. Zinod fulfills his promise and tells Princess Haixin that Guangzheng is suffering in the prison of Heaven. With the help of the White Magician McCarthy Connell, Princess Hayin used the remaining quarter of her soul to reshape Rutherford's Feather, gaining a pair of white wings. Princess Haixin used all her best to finally fly into the heavenly city on the hundredth day. In the city of Zola, she went through many hardships and finally brought back the prince. But his wings were gone. An angel who loses his wings loses his strength and falls from heaven with certain death. This is Princess Haixin has also come to the end of her life, and she begins to feel powerless after losing her soul. Guang enlists the help of the White Wizard McCarthy Connell, and the kind magician sighs to himself and eats the Tears of Croft, in exchange for Princess Hashin giving McCarthy the Feather of Rutherford and the blood of Wollaston. McCarthy tells the duo that by drinking Croft's tears, the dying can return to their lives and enjoy the day. Princess Haixin and Prince Guang drank the tears of Croft and gained a day's life. On the beach, Prince Guang, who has lost his wings, proposes to Princess Haixin in the water, and McCarthy Connell is their witness. They spent a happy day, and then turned into fireflies in the rising sun and left the world. After their deaths, the White Wizard McCarthy gave Rutherford's Feather and Wollaston's blood to Aquaman Heyman, telling him what had happened. Hayman was heartbroken, and with McCarthy's help, the two fused Rutherford's Feather and Wollaston's blood to refine the Phokisha Crystal. Anyone over the age of 30 who is over the age of 30 can walk on land after being baptized by the Phokisha Crystal and storing the necklace of the Phokisha Crystal on their chest. In honor of Princess Haihin, deposited the Phokisha Crystal in the Busa Square in the center of Yena City, where it will be immortalized in the world......"
After the story is told, Haiyun also eats all the fruits and desserts on the table. Haiyun stood up and applauded warmly: "The story is very good, you can memorize this fairy tale, you should have seen it many times!"
Xiu still sat in his seat, clasped his hands in fists to support his chin, closed his eyes and said, "I have indeed read this story many times, and it is a good story. ”
"It's sad, but it's beautiful, isn't it?"
Xiu nodded in agreement, "A person's life, ordinary or great, like cherry blossoms, as long as it blooms, isn't it enough?"
Haiyun smiled without saying a word, took a deep breath, listened to the slight disturbance of the air currents, and looked up at the ornate crystal lamp pendants on the high dome, and the curtains dancing in the wind around the walls. In the darkness of the night, she looked out and vaguely saw the giant thunder and lightning emitted by the spiritual veins around Thunder Island rushing into the sky, lighting up the entire night.
"Is this dinner over?" Haiyun asked.
"It's over. Xiu sat in the position of the king of the Thunder Country, and with a slight wave of his hand, the empty plates in front of him disappeared without a trace.
"Your Royal Highness, is it okay to ask you one last question?"
"No, I can't. ”
"Why?"
"I said please call me Yun, not Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Xiu smiled slightly and asked, "Yun, can I ask you one last question?"
"Please. ”
"Do you really care if I'm His Highness Claude, or Xiu?"
Xiu asked quietly, the cool breeze blew in front of Haiyun, the ice-blue mid-skirt fluttered like petals in the wind, and the ice-blue hair spread out in the wind, like a fairy in the earth.
Haiyun pulled the hair from his ears and smiled, "Whether you are Xiu or Claude, in my eyes, you are my Claude." Haiyun said: "If you don't want to admit it, I won't ask, I know you also have your reasons." ”
Xiu looked dazed and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Then, Your Majesty, the three princesses of the sea kingdom are here to take their leave. Haiyun curtsied and walked outside the Triface Auditorium.
Xiu stood up and shouted at Haiyun's distant back, "It's my honor to have dinner with you. ”
Haiyun didn't look back and beckoned to Xiu behind him, "Don't be numb, I said that I would come to you for dinner every day in the future." ”
The corners of Xiu's mouth are slightly upturned, where does this beautiful princess of the sea country in front of her look like a princess.
The ice-blue spirit array at Haiyun's feet appeared, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a blue afterimage. Xiu lay back on his throne and snapped his fingers again, and the entire Triphis Auditorium dimmed, except for the faint candlelight on the walls illuminating the Thor Temple.
The sea breeze blows silently across the golden sands, the lightning bolts of the thunder spirit array in the bloody bay light up the night sky, and the grass on the path of the twin towers hangs its head and listens to the birds singing before they go to bed.
Xiu sat in the darkness and smiled, showing his white teeth, he covered his face with his hands and laughed, his hearty laughter echoing throughout the empty Thunder God Temple.
