Chapter 383: The Queen's Condition
Lu Xiao and the others didn't know what was going on inside the Di Terran, and just as they were confronting several Di Terran soldiers in front of them, a female Di Terran suddenly came to the scene.
"Guards, please stop."
Compared to these male guards, the decoration on the female Di people in front of her was more gorgeous.
She was covered with many fine ornaments made of shellfish and pearls, and her upper body was draped in a translucent light veil, which seemed to have a high status in the kingdom of the Di people.
"Lord Wu Zhu."
Seeing this man, the soldiers hurriedly withdrew their weapons and saluted respectfully.
The woman of the Di tribe, known as Wu Zhu, raised the moon-white shell in her hand and ordered: "The queen has an order, not to be rude to the distinguished guests, and I will lead the distinguished guests into the palace to meet the queen." ”
The surface of the shell in Wu Zhu's hand is engraved with a pattern that Lu Xiao does not recognize, which may be an ancient text handed down during the period of Emperor Yan and Shennong.
"This ...... Yes, sir. ”
Although somewhat reluctant, the Queen's order was in front, and the Di Terran guards withdrew their weapons and let them go.
After retiring the guards, the young Wu Zhu politely bowed to Lu Xiao and the others: "Distinguished guests invited by Kun Yu, please come with me, the queen of our clan is waiting for you in the palace." ”
The attitude of the Di people suddenly turned 180 degrees, and the three teenagers were a little confused.
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen had a rough guess about this, it should be that some kind of message was conveyed to the Di people in the cry of the giant whale before.
Following the witch Zhu along the avenue built on the coral reef, Lu Xiao touched her chin thoughtfully.
Sure enough, this giant whale has the blood of a kun flowing through it. ’
The scenery style of the Diren Kingdom is very different from that of all the countries on the land of China, and the three boys and girls have been chattering and discussing something in a whisper along the way.
Yongzhen didn't completely let his guard down, after all, this was not the home of humans, and he couldn't be sure that the other party suddenly tore his face because of the Kongtong seal.
In the unlikely event that negotiations between the two sides fail, documenting the route and environment in advance can help with subsequent evacuation operations.
The royal palace of the Diren Kingdom was carved from a huge shellfish, and when they entered the only city of the Diren Kingdom, Lu Xiao and the others saw the Shell Palace located at the far end of the city at a glance.
Along the way, the group discovered a special situation.
There seems to be no old people in the Di people, and every resident looks so young and beautiful, with handsome men and beautiful women.
Yu'er and the others, who didn't know the truth, were very surprised by this, they had never seen a country with such a young age structure before.
Just like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all the Di people are human heads and fish bodies.
From the waist onwards, the Terns are not much different from ordinary humans, except that their ears have distinct aquatic features and look more like fins.
The lower body is completely different from that of humans, the Di people have no legs, they can only rely on the fish's tail to swing and walk, and when they move, they must twist their waists and swing their hips, and their walking posture looks quite charming.
If outsiders come here, they will be excited to cheer on the spot. ’
Lu Xiao is not so heavy as to be so serious, he is more concerned about whether he can persuade the queen of the Di people to temporarily give up her eternal life and borrow the Kongtong seal to arrange the lost array.
The interior of the palace of the Di people looks unique, but the overall idea is not much different from that of the human palace, and it is also based on the main design concept of resplendent and splendor.
A majestic woman with a golden scepter sat on the throne at the end of the palace hall, and the ministers were lined up in two rows, one on the left and one on the right, all staring closely at the outsiders who had just been ushered into the palace gates.
There was vigilance, hatred, kindness and curiosity in these eyes, and everyone seemed to have a different opinion on the arrival of Lu Xiao and the others.
Wu Zhu respectfully saluted the queen: "Your Majesty, I have brought the distinguished guests. ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Wu Zhu."
The queen's appearance is among the best among the Di people that Lu Xiao and others have seen, she has turquoise eyes and exotic physical features.
In Lu Xiao's words, this queen looks more like a West Asian race in terms of appearance.
Standing up from the throne with a thick fishtail supporting her body, the Queen of the Di Terran looked at the five aliens in the audience with a somewhat complicated look.
"I am the queen who rules the kingdom of Diren, a distinguished guest from afar, and I already know the purpose of your visit."
After many years of research, they finally obtained the method of communicating with Kun Yuan, and the special profession of Wuzhu dedicated to sacrifice and communication came into being.
Through Wu Zhu's translation, the queen already knew the reason why Lu Xiao and others wanted to take away the Kongtong seal.
It's easy to say self-denial, but when it's your turn, it's not so easy to execute.
Moreover, as the queen of a clan, it is not just personal gains and losses that need to be considered.
Once the Kongtong seal is removed, all the Di people will instantly lose the ability to stay young forever and return to the appearance that they should have at their age.
The queen's eyes twinkled, and she said, "It's a pity that many years ago, the Di people lost their Kongtong seal, and we were even driven out of our hometown where we had lived for thousands of years. ”
Under the half-truths and half-truths of the queen of the Di people, Lu Xiao and the others roughly understood the details about the Kongtong seal.
Originally, the Di people did not live in the body of Kunyu, but lived freely at the bottom of the sea.
The special body structure allows them to breathe in the water, resisting the huge water pressure at the bottom of the sea, and few powerful aquatic creatures can survive at a depth of several thousand meters, and the Di people have almost no natural predators.
But that all changed more than 200 years ago.
A dragon that came out of nowhere suddenly descended on the East China Sea and took the sea area of Nuoda as its own territory without authorization.
In order to defend their homeland, the Di people broke out into a protracted war with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under the command of the Black Dragon King.
The queen did not mention the exact outcome of the battle, but as far as the outcome goes, the Di people lost the war and were driven out of their homeland by the Black Dragon King.
Under the leadership of the queen, the Di people can only temporarily live in the Kunyu body, which they have befriended for many years, and wander in the nearby seas when they leave their homeland, waiting for the right time to retake their homeland.
However, the Black Dragon King's greed did not disappear with the defeat of the Di people.
The youthful beauty of the entire Diren clan made the Black Dragon King suspicious, and through the study of the old palace of the Diren clan, he discovered the role of the ancient artifact of the Kongtong seal.
The barrier of the Kongtong Seal was arranged by a powerful sword immortal 700 years ago, and the Black Dragon King, who wanted to live forever, could not rewrite the rules of the barrier of the Kongtong Seal.
So he started to use his crooked brains and relied on the people who devoured the Di people to increase his life and strength.
Kun Yu's body is indeed very safe, but in order to survive, the Di people must go out to fish every day, and the Di people who are responsible for collecting food are often attacked by the Black Dragon King, which makes the Di people queen miserable.
"The Di people are not ignorant of righteousness, as the so-called skin does not exist, Mao will be attached."
"Once the land of Shenzhou is invaded by the Western Demon Race, even the Di Race living at the bottom of the sea may not be spared."
The queen of the Di people looked at her, as if she was planning something.
"Kun Yu has already conveyed to me what you mean, as long as you agree to my two conditions, I am willing to lend the Kongtong seal on behalf of the Di people."
Lu Xiao had already roughly guessed the queen's request, but in order to make the conversation go smoothly, he deliberately pretended to know nothing and asked, "Dare to ask the queen, what are your conditions." ”
"First."
The queen raised her first finger: "The Kongtong Seal was stored in the homeland of our people, and now it is occupied by the cruel and unkind Black Dragon King. ”
"My first request is to help the Di people kill the Black Dragon King, so that my people can return to their homeland."
Lu Xiao nodded briskly: "No problem, anyway, if you want to get the Kongtong Seal, you will definitely fight with the Black Dragon King, this condition is very reasonable." ”
"Second."
The queen continued, "The barrier of the Kongtong Seal was laid down by a sword immortal from the East China Sea Immortal Island 700 years ago, and I hope you can find that sword immortal and convince him to restore the magic circle that maintained the youth of the Di people after the Kongtong seal is used up. ”
