Chapter 442: Portata's Underground Journey
Underground, the city of Karui.
Upon hearing the news of Portata's arrival, the entire New Zealand underground was plunged into unprecedented joy.
A day earlier, city officials gathered in Karui to prepare for the biggest welcome event.
In the Elders' Palace, hundreds of attendants were nervously arranging the most sumptuous banquets and singing and dancing performances, and the seven elders gathered around the ancient books to arrange all the details of the hall, striving to give Portata a feeling of being at home.
"Tasso, I think we should turn off the lights, it's too bright here, set up fluorite instead of lighting."
"You're right, Solo."
"Great Elder, ladies and gentlemen, I just received the news: High Priest Portata has arrived outside the East City!" A female officer came to report with joy.
"Good! I'll leave it to you to arrange here, and according to what the five elders said, the hall will be covered with fluorite, and we will see it before we come! ”
Grand Elder Tasuo quickly commanded, and then looked at the surrounding elder officials excitedly.
……
In the east of the city, as the aircraft landed, the seven elders walked out of the hatch one by one.
When everyone comes down, their eyes are drawn to the Portata on the opposite side.
I saw Portata dressed in a white priestly robe, followed by two maids on the left and right, one was Li, and the other was named Jean.
The last time Yang Ye went to Mars, he taught her some rhythms, and her voice was very soft.
"My lord, their mana (spiritual power) is very strong." Jean whispered.
"Hmm."
Portata nodded lightly and said telepathically, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that we still have a group of people living on Earth. It's very pleased. But I am ashamed of their actions! ”
As he spoke, Portata lifted his chin slightly, raised his right hand and looked straight ahead.
The Seven Elders, knowing that this was a greeting between the High Priests, smiled at each other and made the same gesture.
Grand Elder Tasuo stepped forward with a smile: "Portata, you can really make the small city shine when you come, your beauty overshadows the gods!" ”
"Allow me, Tasso......"
"Solo......"
"Sina ......"
"I salute you the most."
"Thank you." Portata smiled and nodded, and his afterglow swept over the crowd: "Your city is more developed than ours, and I heard that you were also the people of Casal in the past, so please ask where the bloodline comes from." ”
"From the great Casal III!"
Tasso raised his arms. There were tears in his eyes.
"Portata. Although we are forced to live on earth, we are always nostalgic for our sacred homeland, we have not forgotten our own bloodline, we have not forgotten that we are great Casals! ”
"Yes, sir."
The Second Elder looked excited and said, "No matter how much tribulation we go through. I will never forget my hometown! Is Casal okay now? ”
Portata nodded, "With the help of Ye and his country." We have begun comprehensive primary education. Technology is evolving rapidly. The current King of Casal is a wise king. ”
"He asked me to ask you: Why are you detaining his friend Yang Ye, your behavior is very shameful to him! Me too. ”
"This ......"
The Seven Great Elders suddenly put away their smiles, and the originally pleasant atmosphere instantly became awkward and cold.
"Please forgive us Portata. There is also Majesty xià. ”
Tasso bowed and said, "The reason why we are holding Ye and his servants is actually for a reason. I'm sure you won't blame us after listening. ”
"High priest, please come aboard."
……
The inner compartment of the spaceship.
"You also have a 'house' that can fly, why don't you fly back?"
After sitting down, Priest Li looked around curiously. Portata and Jean also looked at the crowd with questions.
Tasso was slightly embarrassed and said, "Spacecraft like ours can't travel in space, it's like a car on Earth." The main ship has been damaged since ancient times, and we are in the process of repairing it, and it is believed that it will soon be free to return to Mars. ”
"Yes!"
The Fifth Elder added, "After the welcome ceremony, I will take you to see our secret base, where there is our highest technology, in less than 5 years we will completely surpass the human race!" ”
"Really? Is your ship the size of the Blue Whale? Do you have a Gemini who can unleash 'holographic projection magic'? Jean asked.
"Hehe......"
The elders were amused by Qin's innocence, and the Great Elder said proudly: "Dear junior, you don't have to envy humans, long before the birth of the earthlings' ancestors, the great Casals already possessed more advanced technology than humans. ”
"If we also have the technology to transform the planet, now humans will be our servants, and we don't need to learn from them at all."
Speaking of this, the Great Elder looked at Portata and said:
"According to the images left by the ancestors, after they came to Earth, King Casal had ordered the construction of huge ships, why didn't you come? What happened then? ”
"Oh?" Portata flipped through the knowledge in his head and said, "Our history has not been fully passed down to order...... According to historical records, it was the king of Kasar who angered the gods, and the gods descended on the endless sea to submerge the ancient city of Kassar. ”
"Oh......" The elders were surprised.
Portata laughed: "But these are just the foolish conjectures of later generations, I think that the ancient city of Casa should have been built under some underground ocean, and the rocks above were caused by the long-term erosion of groundwater to cause the ancient city to be submerged." ”
"There have been such things, and our history books have recorded many similar things." The Third Elder nodded and smiled.
For the next half hour, the two Martians talked to each other about the development of various civilizations, and sometimes the history is always strikingly similar.
Arriving at the palace square, Portata took part in a traditional sacrificial welcome before accepting the invitation to enter the Palace of the Elders.
……
Palace of the Elders
"My lord, their palace is so beautifully furnished!"
"Wow, that's a lot of beautiful fluorite."
"Why don't you light the 'electric lamp'?"
"Is this all gold? What kind of stone is this, and how can it emit so many colors? ”
As soon as they walked into the palace, Liheqin was like two curious birds flying around the palace. All around, whether it was the elders, city officials, or attendants, they were amused by their innocent questions. The atmosphere was very pleasant.
"It's really a simple and cute junior ......"
The Great Elder withdrew his gaze from the second daughter and invited Portata down the glorious hall, the fragrance of food intertwined with the water of the central pool.
"You may be seated."
"Hmm." Portata nodded and sat down, looked around and asked, "Why didn't you invite Ye?" ”
"He's our prisoner now, and he shouldn't have been invited here." The Seven Elders replied.
Her words unintentionally angered Portata, and she frowned slightly: "Your prisoner is my best friend, if you don't have a good reason, I think our conversation can only go on here." ”
"Listen to us explain Portata."
The Great Elder raised his hand to stop the Seven Elders' seizures, swept around and said, "Portata, you shouldn't trust humans. That will only cost you Mars. It was even wiped out. ”
"Humanity is an extremely selfish and terrifying people, and they also have good people, but most of them are cunning, especially those in high positions."
"Do you know what the human world thinks of you? They see you as savages who are easily deceived. They exchange obsolete knowledge for valuable ore to you...... One day you will find out: they will take away what belongs to you! ”
"When the time comes, you'll have advanced technology. Unable to keep up with the footsteps of the earthlings. The earthlings will take away your and mine's homeland and treat us as inferior slaves......"
"And your friend Ye is their leader. He is smarter and cunning than any human, and you have been deceived into Portata! ”
"You are the one who deceived me!" Portata instantly released a powerful spiritual power, and everyone present was suppressed by her spiritual power!
During the period of 'communication' with Yang Ye, Portata learned a lot, and the brain domain development has approached 40% of humans, and the strongest of these people is also about 30%.
"Ye is my best friend! He will never take advantage of me! I sue you, Ye and I have long thought about the war between Earth and Mars......"
"We promised each other that if war broke out, we would show no mercy! But until then, he's my friend and my man! ”
"You ......," said Portata, staring at the Seventh Elder and raising his right hand!
Suddenly, the Seven Elders were wrapped in tons of mental pressure, and blood oozed outward from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!
"Great Lord Portata, please stop! Listen to me! ”
The Great Elder was like an old man in the twilight, trembling under tremendous mental pressure, and the other five elders also released their spiritual power at the same time to resist the pressure of Portata.
"Now that you know his intentions, you should think from the perspective of race, I believe that your wisdom will definitely be able to make the right judgment, are you willing to watch your people be ruined by the earthlings?"
……
"Hoo ......"
Hearing this, Portata let out a sigh of relief and pushed the Seven Elders a few meters away with his backhand, and the attendants around him hurriedly caught her.
Sensing the disappearance of the pressure, the Great Elder hurriedly stopped the other elders' seizures: "The power of the Lord is really trembling, and we have no intention of offending your majesty. ”
"Call me Portata."
Portata interrupted her flattery, tried to restrain her feelings, and said, "My current strength is what you think was brought to me by the cunning enemy Yang Ye. You don't know him well, he's a truly selfless saint, if he really wants to use me, will he teach me this? ”
"Tell me why you imprisoned Ye!"
At the end, Portata asked almost in a screaming tone!
In the face of her stern questioning, everyone in the hall fell silent.
Tasso was shocked: "Are you saying that your current strength was taught to you by him?" Why is he so weak? ”
"Weak?" Portata frowned and said, "Ye's strength is second only to me, how did you imprison him?" ”
Tasuo and the elders looked at each other, and the second elder said, "We only sense a small part of the spiritual power on him, Portata, please listen to us calmly." ”
"We may have misunderstood your human friend before, but we must not release him......"
"We invited you here this time to bring you the best technology, with these technologies, you don't have to be deceived by the earthlings anymore!"
"I think with the wisdom of our Martians, we will be able to be on par with the Earth in a short time. Only then will we have the opportunity to talk fairly with humanity. ”
"Have you ever wondered what you will use to fight humanity when war breaks out, do you use swords?"
As soon as the second elder explained slowly, Portata's feelings gradually calmed down......
