Chapter 314: Enthronement
It's better to be a favor. Falsely claiming that Borren fought against Meduiye and was posthumously crowned a martyr would make Slarda grateful and support his assistant Siren on the throne.
In the palace, the support of the fish-men guarding Slarda is more useful than that of the Tidal Marshal Leviathan, after all, Leviathan's army is stationed on the border, and water is far away to quench the thirst of the near.
The siren gave several orders in one breath, and Perseus's eyes were full of appreciation, and the siren was simply a natural queen.
"My daughter, I'm old" From this day on, you are the queen of the eternal maelstrom"
Perseus said this sentence slowly, holding the trident flat, his expression was full of kindness and solemnity, and the siren's body was shocked, and she waited in pain and torment for seven years for this sentence.
She swam to Perseus on her knees, leaned down, raised her hands above her head, took the Trident of the Sea Emperor, and accepted the coronation,"
System prompt: "Optional quest completed, help the sirens get the king, get honor points." ”
Gu Nansheng listened to the hint with mixed blessings, and there were two more tasks, helping Medusa take revenge and giving the Lincoln Stone to Medusa, these two tasks are obviously contradictory to the optional tasks of helping the sirens, how to complete it,
Moreover, the promise of the optional quest does not seem to have been fulfilled.
The siren turned and stood up, and Ang walked to the throne in the middle of the main hall, and held aloft the trident of the Sea Emperor, the symbol of royal power.
"From today onwards, I will be the fifty-fifth Sea Emperor of the Eternal Vortex, Empress Siren."
In that moment, her beautiful face was full of sacredness and solemnity,
Monarchy casts. No one doubted it.
Gu Nansheng narrowed his eyes, he suddenly felt that he had never seen through this woman standing high on the throne.
Medusa was once again killed by the Naga royal guards, and according to Naga custom, the enthronement ceremony took place the day after the coronation. The ceremony begins in the morning and continues until dusk.
Gu Nansheng belongs to a foreign tribe, and according to the rules of the Naga tribe, he cannot appear at the enthronement ceremony, otherwise it will bring misfortune to the new emperor.
The siren naturally hoped that the destined lover of her fate could come to the enthronement ceremony, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life, but those pedantic ministers chattered and repeatedly dissuaded, Gu Nansheng didn't want to make it difficult for the sirens, so he excused himself not to be interested in these lengthy ceremonies and did not participate in the ceremony.
The sirens were dressed in full costumes, and the royal road leading to the palace was covered with a red carpet dozens of meters long, with bells and horns ringing. Two rows of heavily armed Naga warriors separated from each other with swords. The countless night pearls will shine all the way to the seabed in the not-so-bright morning.
Surrounded by the guard of honor behind him, the sirens swam steadily towards the throne of the Sea Emperor on the steps of the Sea Emperor's Palace, and on the case on the east side of the throne, the Trident of the Sea Emperor, the symbol of power of the eternal vortex.
It was only a few dozen meters long, and it took the sirens five minutes to walk it.
Finally, she stood in front of the throne. Stood at the top of the stairs.
Looking at the golden Trident of the Sea Emperor, touching the soft throne, the sirens have mixed feelings, seven years of purgatory, how can ordinary people experience the misery?
The siren took a deep breath, turned around calmly, raised his robe, and sat firmly on the throne of the Sea Emperor.
His Royal Highness and the military officials stood according to Wen Dong and Wu Xi, and knelt down on one knee together at this time, chanting the Holy Thoughts of the Sea Emperor...
At this time, Gu Nansheng sat alone on the waterbed in the dormitory, meditating with his eyes closed, and practicing the Nightmare Exercises. He quickly entered a state of selflessness, although because of the enthronement ceremony, the horns in the palace sounded one after another, and the drums shook the sky, but these could not affect Gu Nansheng.
It wasn't until noon that Gu Nansheng woke up from meditation. The table in the dining room outside his dormitory was already full of food, and the food at the bottom of the sea was all raw and soaked in seawater, and it was difficult for a chef to make food suitable for human tastes under normal circumstances.
However, Gu Nansheng's requirements for food have never been high, whether it is because of his downfall on the earth or because of the endless battles in another world. He didn't have the conditions to calm down and taste the food, so for Gu Nansheng, as long as the food could be eaten, he picked up a piece of jelly and ate it in his mouth, this food was full of fragrance, the food was extremely lubricated, and it melted in his mouth, and he didn't know how to prepare it.
Gu Nansheng walked out of the dormitory after lunch, and a luxury carriage was parked at the entrance of the dormitory.
At the bottom of the sea, the cart does not need wheels, the whole carriage can be suspended in the water, and the cart is pulled by six seahorses, which are more than two meters high, covered with ring-shaped thorns, and have tails like conch-like tomatoes
"Willing to serve you, warriors from land. I am a guide and coachman sent by His Majesty the Sirens. An old fishman of the Naga tribe said politely, he had been waiting here since the morning for Gu Nansheng to appear.
When it came to the sirens, Gu Nansheng's heart was warm, and she was really thoughtful.
"Where is she? Is the ceremony over? ”
"Your Majesty pays homage to the gods at the Temple of Queen Azhara, and the ceremony will not end until the evening." The old fishman said respectfully.
"Let's go out on the streets." Although Gu Nansheng doesn't like to go shopping, he doesn't have any good places to go when he is bored.
These days have been fighting, and Gu Nansheng didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the sea.
There seems to be a magic array of light here, passing through hundreds of meters of water, and although the light of the Eternal Vortex is somewhat insufficient, it is not a problem to see during the day.
The streets here are not bustling, only a few races, such as hermit crabs, have to walk the streets because they can't swim, and most of the other races swim through the roofs of other people's houses.
Patches of untrimmed coral grew on the side of the road at will, and occasionally a few cars similar to the seahorse carriage Gu Nansheng sat on passed by, but none of them were taken by Gu Nansheng; "Little... A luxurious car with six seahorses neck and neck. The streamlined body, the old power is unusually stable, and this seahorse doesn't know what it grew up eating, and it is not much smaller than the real horse.
"My lord, it's time for the new emperor to worship the gods, and many people have gone to Mount Etna to pay their respects, so there are fewer pedestrians on the road
"Volcano? Extinct or active? ”
"What extinct volcano or active volcano?" The old fishman looked puzzled.
Gu Nansheng couldn't laugh or cry, this is playing the piano to the fish, how can these "fish" people know the difference between an extinct volcano and an active volcano, "I'm asking if this volcano will erupt?" ”
"Squirt? Of course not, His Majesty the Emperor of the Sea Sirens accepts the king's will at the behemoth's will, and Mount Etna is the wrath of the god of the sea, as long as Her Majesty the Empress reigns in the Eternal Vortex, the volcano will not erupt
Gu Nansheng was a little broken, these superstitious guys were really poisoned too deeply, and they didn't know "death." How to write the words, but the siren is indeed not simple, she must be able to become a generation of Ming Jun, originally he thought that a beautiful woman like the siren, who was soft and weak and pitiful and did not seem to eat the fireworks of the world, would be difficult to shock the ministers, but at the moment when the siren picked up the sea emperor's scepter, Gu Nansheng knew that he had never seen through the siren.
She was not a weak woman at all, she was a phoenix in the fur of a little white rabbit, and he thought that it was her complex that the siren asked him to find the red conch, but when he asked her how to clarify the facts, he found out that it was a tape recorder at all.
From the very beginning, she laid out the situation, strategized, and had no last resort, but there was a little accident when dealing with Roger, but this is also reasonable, no one can expect Roger to suddenly rebel.
"Until when is that ritual going to take place?" Gu Nansheng had already sat in the carriage and walked around the imperial city, and he was still a little interested at first, but then he felt bored.
"It's a god worship ceremony, not that ceremony, please remember it." The old fishman had a serious face, "Adults and villains have to say that although you are a foreigner, you don't believe in Queen Aishara. But if this is heard by the Naga clan, I'm afraid the impact will not be good
Gu Nansheng was helpless, this had to be taken care of.
"The ritual of worshipping the gods will be held until the evening, and the new emperor will first sacrifice to the god of the sea, and then hold a feast on Mount Etna, so by the time everything is over, it will be dark."
As the old fishman was talking, a group of whitetip sharks swam past Gu Nansheng's carriage, the number of thousands of people, layered on top of each other, blocking the sunlight, and fierce kraken warriors rode on it, holding chain harpoons in their hands.
The sight of thousands of sharks swimming together is quite spectacular.
The old fishman noticed Gu Nansheng's surprise, and proudly introduced: "This is the ace army of the Eternal Vortex, the Ocean Whitetip Shark Legion, the sharpest spear in the Emperor's ** team, directly dispatched by the Tide Marshal Leviathan, when Medusa raided the palace, if they hadn't arrived at the border, they would have rushed up and tore her apart."
The old fishman's proud expression was quite cute, and the legend of a hero-level powerhouse was too far away for him to understand that kind of power at all.
For Medusa, an army without restrictions is just a decoration, and all it takes is a secret snake to stew all these sharks into shark fin soup.
"So are they here to strengthen the city's defenses?"
"Well, in fact, General Leviathan was transferring troops the day before yesterday, but the road is far away, so there are not many troops who have arrived so far, and there is a military parade of the new emperor tomorrow, and they will also participate by the way."
"Oh, and the parade? small
"That's natural, how can the enthronement ceremony be sloppy, being able to be reviewed by the new emperor is what every soldier can't ask for, which is equivalent to receiving the best blessing from the sea god."
As the two of them spoke, a group of fish-man warriors with giant chains in their hands swam in the sea, and their bodies were much stronger than the kraken on the back of the whitetip shark just now. The muscles on the body are pierced, the blue fish tail is thick and powerful, and the 180 catties of iron and cobalt are like straw stalks in them, Gu Nansheng has no doubt that if this smashes them, the killer whales will have to turn their bellies.
The sirens are really imposing enough, and a nineteen-year-old girl can review such a group of tigers and wolves.
Dinner was eaten by Gu Nansheng alone, he saw a small box on the dining table, and after opening it, a water-avoiding barrier automatically popped up in the box, separating the sea water from the space in the box, and I was also in the box
I can think of it with my toes, this is a box of fresh water, Gu Nansheng smiled knowingly, I am afraid that this was sent by the siren to Sicily overnight to get it, and it was only delivered tonight, she was so careful, he was indeed a little thirsty, he didn't drink water for two days, and only relied on food to replenish it.
The Naga people can drink seawater directly, and almost all animals and plants in the sea have salt glands, such as those of seabirds in the nostrils, sea snakes in the mouth, fish in the gills also have similar salt discharge tissues, and the salt glands of mermaids are in the eye sockets, so mermaids are the most tearful races in the world.
"Your Majesty, please." A sea elf herald rode a tuna to Gu Nansheng's dormitory, Gu Nansheng had already eaten and was playing with the box containing fresh water.
The cumbersome ceremony was finally over, Gu Nansheng followed the herald, and the place of summoning was not the main hall, but the siren's dormitory. There are undoubtedly more treasures under the sea than on land, and the Sirens are luxurious and beautiful.
The walls around the palace are all made of carefully ground white marble, the walls are inlaid with delicate blood coral and colorful shells, and the walls inside the palace are carved with various inscriptions, floral inscriptions, and huge murals painted with gold powder in the middle. The mural depicts the heroic sea god standing on a carriage pulled by a sea dragon, holding a trident, pointing ahead.
The upper part of the main hall is inlaid with night pearls, so that is
The herald took Gu Nansheng to a gilded gate, "Her Majesty the Empress is waiting for you inside."
After speaking, he drove his tuna away, and Gu Nansheng stretched out his hand to push open the heavy door.
Inside is a bedroom with a predominantly blue tone, and the entire bedroom is almost occupied by a huge bed.
Gu Nansheng swore that it was the dreamiest and most beautiful bed he had ever seen in his life.
The main body of the bed is a huge shell with a small diameter of four or five meters, and the carefully cultivated delicate coral pokes out of the jade-like branches from the periphery of the shell, and the tentacles that open and close with the sea water are like immature little feverfew, and the beauty of ice crystals is moving.
The night pearls are dotted among the corals, and the soft light shines through, shining the coral exquisitely.
The colorful little fish wore briskly in it, they were not afraid of people at all, and even swam by Gu Nansheng's nose.
The inside of the shell is thick nacre, and the light is recognizable.
If the girl slept here, she would be able to see her face immediately as soon as she came in the morning. The large natural nacre mirror with a diameter of four meters can shine all over your body no matter how you jump on the bed.
The milky white mattress is like a soft ** in a shy river mussel, it is really an ingenious design, the down flutters slightly with the seawater, and the trembling feathers seem to scratch Gu Nansheng's heart, itchy.
However, the reason why this bed is the most beautiful bed in the world is not because of the coral, not because of the pearl of the night, not because of the ingenious design, but because of the pearl siren set in the soft flesh of the shell.
She sat upright on the bed in full costume. The whole body exudes a jade and ice clear temperament, and the beauty is like a dream.
Seeing Gu Nansheng coming in, she stood up and fluttered her head one after another, the showiness and softness that overshadowed all the corals.
Rao is Gu Nansheng is determined, and he was also a little distracted at this time.
He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Siren, are you looking for me?"
"Hmm," the siren looked at Gu Nansheng very seriously, and his eyes as clear as autumn water clearly reflected Gu Nansheng's reflection.
"I want to ask you, why are you willing to help me so much?"
Gu Nansheng was slightly stunned, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he couldn't say that this was all the task of the system.
The siren still looked at Gu Nansheng seriously, her eyes didn't blink, and her face was as delicate and white as washed porcelain.
Time passed second by second, and Gu Nansheng, who the siren had been watching, was embarrassed to look at her.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and when Gu Nansheng was about to eat some fruits in the fruit bowl to relieve the atmosphere, the siren suddenly asked word by word: "You, Xi, Huan, me, ? ”
Gu Nansheng almost choked on a mouthful of seawater, he glanced at the siren blankly, the siren's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he was still raising his head and staring at Gu Nansheng intently, she was waiting for his answer.
Gu Nansheng's Adam's apple rolled, he didn't expect the siren's confession to be so simple and direct.
Although the siren is the queen of the eternal maelstrom, because she lives in a cold palace and prison all the year round, she is blank in terms of the relationship between men and women, and she has no idea that girls should be shy in this situation.
"Uh," you really know what "likes." Is it? ”
The siren thought for a while, opened his red lips and said, "I miss a person, I don't want to leave a person, don't you like it?" ”
"Well, yes
"Do you want to leave me, then?" There was a hint of anticipation in the siren's eyes.
Gu Nansheng sighed, "I don't want to." But it had to. ”
have to
Hearing these three words, Siren's heart sank, she didn't ask why stupidly, she knew that there must be something that had to be done when he said this, how could she not be like this in the past.
After a moment of silence, the siren said faintly: "Do you want to leave forever, or can you come back?" ”
"I'll be back again, unless I'm dead The siren suddenly laughed, smiling brighter than the mast flowers of early summer, "Then let's get married tonight."
"Uh,?" Gu Nansheng almost thought he had heard it wrong, "Tonight, get married?" ”
"Well, it's tonight
Gu Nansheng was still stunned to think about the meaning of the phrase "get married tonight", "Are you sure you know" to get married. What does that mean?
The siren was slightly stunned, bowed his head and said, "My grandmother told me that she was a prophet, and in fact, when I was eleven years old, my fate was written in my grandmother's prophecy."
"Prophecy?"
The prophecy of "Hmm" goes like this, when the demon opens her sleeping eyes again, when the sea is red with blood. The young Juggernaut arrives in Sicily with a black greatsword in hand, and he slashes the prison bars like a spider's web, paving the way to the throne for you, and in exchange for earning your unapologetic love
Gu Nansheng's mouth opened slightly when he heard this, there are only a handful of prophets in this world, and the only prophets he knows are Medivan and Garrod, maybe Queen Aishara is too, as for Eisenfrog, he inherited the power of Mai Qiwen to have the ability to predict.
It doesn't make sense to pop up. Siren's maternal grandmother, could it be that Siren's maternal grandmother is Eisen 7 Frog male disguised as a woman?
He maliciously imagined the appearance of Eisen 7 Frog disguised as a woman, and immediately goosebumps straightened up all over his body, if this is the case, the siren's grandfather said very seriously.
Rest today, so update the heart earlier
