Xiao Yu entered the island under the leadership of Yuyue, there is a palace on Crescent Island, its shape and style are very different from human architecture, the whole palace is built on the beach, a quarter of the part is submerged in the water, round and full, the appearance of the drawing, the whole body is snow-white, the lines are clear, like a big shell on the beach.

Under the leadership of Yuyue, Xiao Yu entered the palace and walked through the water, the luxurious white jade pillars were all handmade products, with very few traces of magical processing, full of artistic atmosphere. Above the palace is a transparent crystal canopy, and now in the evening, the setting sun is refracted by the crystal, and the hall is shrouded in a dazzling orange color, which has a dreamlike beauty.

Yuyue's return surprised many mermaids, and the news spread immediately, and soon a white-bearded elder came out with several mermaid elders to meet Xiao Yu.

Elder Whitebeard had been to Heavenly City during Xiao Yu's retreat, but he had never met Xiao Yu, this person's strength was extremely strong, with the strength of the middle stage of the fifth order, this realm had been stranded for at least one or two hundred years, and it was extremely close to the late stage of the fifth order, only one step away. Xiao Yu does not use the premise of the final hole card to fight with it, and remains undefeated at most. For fifth-order people, the difference in strength at each level is several times or even ten times, even for Xiao Yu, the challenge of skipping the level is not small. This kind of strong man in a high position must have unique skills and a large number of treasures in his hands, which is especially powerful and difficult to deal with, and should not be underestimated.

Among the elders who rushed to hear the news, Reef was also among them.

Elder Jiao saw Xiao Yu at a glance, and the look of shock on his face was beyond words. Xiao Yu didn't hide his aura, judging from the strength he showed, he had at least the strength of the early stage of the fifth order, and he was actually at the same level as the Elder Reef! Xiao Yu's aura is strong, but he is afraid that his spiritual power far exceeds that of Elder Jiao, and his strength is only strong but not weak.

"Third Elder!" Yuyue's eyes flushed and pounced on the whitebeard elder: "I'm back!" I am back! The second elder is dead, and all of them are dead......"

Elder Whitebeard sighed and said, "I already know, I don't know why, the top-secret plan has been revealed, and King Hippo is also investigating." The sneak attack did not succeed, but instead lost hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and even lost more than thirty fifth-order elders in the Crystal Sea. Blame us for making a mistake in decision-making, eager to make the Haige tribe eager to make meritorious service, behave well in front of His Majesty, and send twelve elders to follow the battle at a time, and the result, hey...... Forget it, it's good that you can come back. ”

Utsuki said, "I'm going to fight again!" ”

Elder Whitebeard looked embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult, the loss of twelve elders, the foundation of the Sea Song Tribe has been seriously damaged again. King Hippo thinks that the Haige tribe lacks generals and has no way to unify the army, and our remaining 800,000 foreign troops have all been merged into other tribes, and now the Haige tribe has no other army except for the most fundamental mermaid legion of its own clan, and the mermaid legion is also restricted from going out to fight! ”

Yuyue couldn't believe that King Hippo had actually taken away the army of the Haige tribe! Although she is not a high-level member of the Haige tribe, she is indeed one of the most potential mermaid backs, and she is very popular in the tribe on weekdays, and she is very well-informed. The Haige tribe has been on a downward slope for the past one or two hundred years, and there are almost few young people with potential, so they can only rely on the support of the older generation of elders, several respected elders are dying, and the rest of the elders are also very old, and the Haige tribe is showing twilight.

But the thousand-year-old heritage is still there, and it is impossible to collapse easily. However, when this war broke out, the most noble and powerful patriarch of the Haige tribe died, and the loss of troops on the battlefield was definitely a very fatal blow to the current Haige tribe. After the young patriarch succeeded to the throne, the situation in the crystal sea became even more turbulent, and the elders died one after another, and since entering the war, there were fewer victories and more defeats, which made King Hippo very dissatisfied. In order to save the dignity and honor of the Haige tribe, most of the sneak attack army was composed of the Haige tribe, as long as the rear of the Bodong race was destroyed, it was definitely a great achievement, but I didn't expect the plan to be revealed, and the whole army was wiped out by an ambush.

King Hippo thought that the Sea Song tribe was too badly damaged, and took away the subsidiary legions of the Sea Song tribe, led by other tribes to participate in the war, which basically canceled the Sea Song tribe's participation in the war, and now the Sea Song tribe is crumbling, war is the only way for the tribe to save honor, if there is no qualification to fight, after the end of the war, a large number of new tribes will emerge, and King Hippo needs to reward the meritorious sea area. There is a good chance that the Song of the Ocean will be replaced or annexed, after all, the current Song of the Sea, whether it is strength or merit, is no longer worthy of the rich sea area it occupies.

"Hey, you go down and rest first. We'll talk about that later. Elder Whitebeard patted the back of Yuyue's hand, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Yu, and found that this person's strength was not weak, and he was not an idle person, so he asked, "Is this one your friend?" ”

Yuyue hurriedly said: "He is Brother Xiao Yu, thanks to his help, I can come back." This time, I came to the tribe to help the water blue patriarch. ”

Jiao whispered in Elder Whitebeard's ear, "He will be what Shui Lan said about Xiao Yu." When I saw him more than a month ago, he was still at the peak of the fourth order, and in the world of less than two months, he not only broke through the bottleneck, but also crossed two levels! ”

"Your Excellency is asking Xiao Yu, the city lord of Heavenly City?" Elder Whitebeard showed a look of surprise, "I am Bai Xiao, the elder of the Sea Song Tribe, originally the third elder, but because the second elder died in battle, I am now the second elder of the Sea Song tribe. I heard Shui Lan talk about you, and I was fortunate to see you today, Your Excellency is really a handsome man in the world, it is really terrifying! ”

"The Second Elder has won the prize." Xiao Yu hugged his fists and asked, "As Yuyue said, I came to the tribe to help Shui Lan and the Song of the Ocean, why don't you see Shui Lan?" ”

Bai Xiao's eyes lit up and said, "The patriarch is negotiating with the envoy sent by His Majesty, but I am afraid that he will come back later." It's getting dark, so why don't you have a meal with us, so that you can discuss important matters, and the old man can introduce you to other elders. ”

This old man fish was obviously meeting for the first time, and he was so enthusiastic, which really surprised Xiao Yu.

Could it be that Shui Lan has already told Xiao Yu about his relationship with her?

Xiao Yu immediately guessed this, Bai Xiao and Jiao seemed to have a good relationship, and Elder Jiao was Shui Lan's closest clan uncle, he had known about this for a long time, would Bai Xiao get the news from Elder Jiao? Anyway, Bai Xiao's attitude was excellent, and he obviously had no objection to Xiao Yu and Shui Lan being together.

When night is approaching, the gems inlaid in the mermaid palace replace the sunlight to illuminate, and the palace is like half of the day, and the bright stars can be clearly seen through the transparent ceiling overhead.

Xiao Yu was arranged to feast in a huge hall, the floor of the hall was covered with this layer of film, and the water was isolated underneath, and it was very comfortable to walk. Through the transparent film, you can see a large number of fish swimming and playing in the water, occasionally one or two psychic white dolphins touch the membrane with the tip of their noses, and the pillars on both sides are hollow, and the bottom of the water is through, and fish often swim into the columns. There is a wide red carpet on the ground, flanked by dining positions, and the tables, chairs, and tableware are all carved from crystal, luxurious and vulgar, showing the characteristics of mermaid life.

There were three hundred seats in the hall, and only more than fifty people were seated, each of them was an old woman or an old man, with gray hair hanging down and old age, but you could vaguely see the scene of the glorious things of the Haige tribe.

Xiao Yu was arranged to sit down in a relatively forward position.

Bai Xiao sat down in the first position on the right, and the first position on the left was vacant, probably the position of the Great Elder, there were more than a dozen steps on the red carpet, and there was a most luxurious main seat on it, which was completely carved from red crystal, and every detail was impeccable, but it was far more magnificent than the dragon chair of the human emperor, and it must be the position of the patriarch.

Xiao Yu waited patiently for a few minutes, and an old woman who was on crutches and almost too old to walk slowly walked from the front, staggering, and could fall to the ground at any time. In just over a hundred meters, he walked for five minutes, and finally sat down in the position of the Great Elder, and his cloudy old eyes swept over everyone present, and finally fell on Xiao Yu's body.

A powerful coercion erupted.

The old appearance is just a façade, and within the body of the dying wood, there is a roaring dragon.

Xiao Yu felt like he was being stared at by a giant dragon!

"This old fellow...... At least he is a figure of the same level as Bloody Fang and Remnant Yan, and he is worthy of being the Great Elder of the Sea Song Tribe. ”

Bai Xiao saw that the Great Elder was intimidating people with coercion, but Xiao Yu was sitting in a precarious position, as if he had not checked anything, and immediately said: "Great Elder, the people have arrived, do you see if it is ......?"

The Great Elder nodded, opened his mouth that had almost lost his teeth, and said indistinctly, "From the ceremony, the dishes are ready." ”

Xiao Yu has a slight understanding of the dietary rules of the mermaid clan, dinner is the main meal of the mermaid clan, and before the mermaid clan holds a dinner, there are usually some rituals, including a simple sacrifice to the sea god, as well as mermaid songs, dances, and so on. When serving, the dishes are served one by one, usually more than 200 dishes need to be eaten at a formal dinner, each dish is packed in a large plate made of jade, but the amount is pitiful, at most only enough to eat two bites, so it often takes a night to eat a dinner party in the mermaid clan.

This is related to the habits and characteristics of the mermaid people, the mermaid people pay attention to the quality of life, the pursuit of artistic creation and spiritual life, the exchanges between the people are very frequent and rich, it does not matter what you eat at dinner, the most important thing is to create an environment for communication. It can be an exchange of artistic creation, or it can be a discussion of important matters.

After a brief ceremony, several mermaids played soft music on the side, and the mermaid dinner officially began.

The Great Elder didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point: "Today's dinner was held by Bai Xiao personally for you, in order to let the elders of the clan get to know you well." I heard that you are a good friend of the water blue patriarch? ”

Xiao Yu replied, "Not bad." ”

The Great Elder smiled dryly, and said lukewarmly, "Are you just friends?" ”

Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and in just two sentences, he got a few pieces of information. First, his relationship with Shui Lan is afraid that it has been exposed. Second, the Great Elder is not all the way with Bai Xiao and Jiao. Third, the Great Elder didn't trust him too much, and was even a little hostile.

The merfolk are hospitable and warm, Xiao Yu is sitting here as an ally anyway, according to the temperament of the mermaid clan, it shouldn't be here. Ten is because of the relationship between water and blue.

Xiao Yu didn't answer directly: "If the Great Elder wants to know anything, you might as well ask directly." ”

"Hehehe......" The Great Elder laughed, put aside the topic just now, and continued, "I heard, you are here to help the Sea Song Tribe?" ”

"Exactly."

The Great Elder asked again, "Then how many men and horses did you bring with you?" ”

Xiao Yu said bluntly: "I'm the only one." ”

"Alone? Do you know what kind of enemy we are facing? The elders looked at each other, and the Great Elder laughed twice, "Shui Lan is one of the best mermaid juniors, there are countless suitors in the West Sea, and even in the South China Sea, there are people who love her, and there are not many young heroes like you among them. You are not a member of the Sea Clan, and you don't know the circumstances of the time, so I advise you not to be hot-headed, lest you lose your life in the end, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
