As the second largest city in the entire underwater world, the capital of the Zebel Kingdom occupies nearly ninety percent of the entire undersea basin.

Above the seabed, flocks of high-rise buildings stand in the middle of the Atlantic Current, and between the buildings, a network of high-speed rail trains runs through every corner of the city, and large sea turtles and whales act as couriers and delivery drivers.

In fact, the regional division of the entire capital is similar to that of many large cities on the ground, divided into two rings, three rings and four rings, and the height of the buildings also decreases gradually to the periphery of the capital.

And in the very center of the city, there is the King Zebel's Palace, which is walled by a spherical magical barrier, and in the hearts of most people under the sea, this palace is extremely legendary.

Today, the palace is nearly 3,000 years old and has been renovated many times, with 56 kings of Zebel ruling in the palace.

In addition, if converted to the unit of measurement of landers, the total area of the Zebel Palace complex is almost the size of two Forbidden Cities.

In the center of the complex, the royal palace with its pure white glow upwards is eye-catching.

The whole area may seem sacred to outsiders, but to Mera, it's where she grew up, and every corner of the palace is familiar.

Under the escort of the guards of the royal city, riding. Shark. After the fish had passed through the outer barrier, Mera swam straight to the side door of the palace, ready to go directly to the side hall behind the council hall to meet his father, King Zebel.

The main body of the royal palace is very different from the style of traditional European architecture.

Zebel reveres the power of nature and magic, and from the inside, the main body of the royal palace looks more like a complete pre-Origin Whale. fish

The keel that supports the entire dome is built entirely from the vertebrae and ribs of a mammal.

So, when Maela was young, she would have the illusion from time to time that she didn't live in the palace, but in a whale. In the bones of a fish.

"Is that interesting on land? Is it worth it for you to go to land in a supersonic spaceship? ”

As soon as she entered the side hall, Mera saw her father's stern face, which was not smiling.

The other party was standing in front of the monitoring equipment, looking at himself with a scrutinizing eye, with a hint of hatred for iron and steel.

"I..."

Mera hugged Kryptonite, a little speechless, and didn't know where to start today.

"Where did you get out of the palace?"

King Zebel slowly floated up to Mera and looked at her.

To be reasonable, he felt that the guards of Zebel's kingdom were already airtight, and if he himself was alone, he might not be able to escape, but his daughter could still find a way to escape.

It's quite mysterious.

"I took down a couple of guards..."

Mera whispered, apologetic.

To be honest, she was really sorry, because she knew all the guards well, and they would salute her when they met.

Putting down these people is like putting down those neighbors who support you and are especially good to you.

She knows that this kind of thing is wrong, but sometimes there are some thoughts in her heart that she wants to be a demon.

"The soldiers guard the royal city, and it is hard enough to stand guard every day, and you still have to be beaten?

You've lost all my old face. ”

King Zebel glared at Mera, wanting to teach his daughter a good lesson, but after thinking about it, he still didn't bother to say some harsh words.

Finally, he rubbed his eyebrows and asked angrily, "What are you doing on land?" ”

In King Zebel's view, the people on the land are corrupt and degenerate, their lives are barren, and their technology is even more backward, and he can't think of any place or thing that can attract his perfect daughter, the eldest princess of Zebel's sea country.

"The second princess of the Fisherman's Country, Anna, found a rare ore and wanted to make some jewelry and weapons with me, so I went and fetched it."

Mera lifted the kryptonite in her hand and gestured to her father.

Her father didn't know what she knew about Arthur Curry.

With what she knew about her father, she felt that if she spoke out about Arthur's existence, the situation would really get troublesome.

What's more, she was also coerced to land by Chen Yu.

If this kind of thing was known to King Zebel, he would definitely force him to ask about Chen Yu's whereabouts.

In her opinion, it is impossible for Chen Yu to be soft, and if he fights, he will definitely die.

Therefore, after calculating the stakes, she felt that she could not tell the truth under this kind of stall.

"It's too stuffy in the city, facing those nobles all day long." Mera shoved kryptonite into King Zebel's hands and pleaded:

"You help me find this ore, and I promise you that I will never go abroad to play without permission in the future."

Old King Zebel was famous at the bottom of the sea, and he had never seen any ore, and when Mera first entered the hall, he thought it was an ordinary large gem.

After all, there are so many more of these things on the ocean floor than on land.

But when he took the kryptonite, the weight and texture of this thing was something he had never seen before.

Looking up at Mera, King Zebel didn't speak, but just pulled out the snow-white long sword at his waist and slashed lightly at the ore.

A crisp clashing sound was heard in the seawater, and King Zebel raised his eyebrows as he looked at the unharmed Kryptonite, and said:

"The toughness and hardness are okay, and you won't lose much if you use this thing to make a toy."

King Zebel said this seriously, the appearance of kryptonite is really good, like a large piece of night pearl, blooming with brilliant green light all the time, intertwined with the light of the seabed, it looks misty and dreamy.

You can't use it as a weapon if you haven't tested it, but if you use it as a toy, you might sell a lot.

Walking out of the side hall, King Zebel handed the kryptonite to a minister who was waiting for him in the corridor of the palace, and commanded:

"Go to a lawyer to draw up a contract and contact the mineral company in the fisherman's country to find out the mineral."

After the minister stepped back, King Zebel turned his head and stared at Mera solemnly, and said:

"It's okay for my father to find this thing for you, but you have to promise me that you can't do this in the future."

After looking at Mera's solemn assurance, King Zebel pointed to the chair in the hall and said, "Sit down, I have something to talk to you about." ”

He closed the door of the side hall, walked to his cabinet, took out a snow-white women's crown and handed it to Mera, and said without squinting in his tone:

"Not long after you ran away, the people of Atlantis came to propose marriage, and Orm wanted to marry you."

Before King Zebel finished speaking, when he just said the words Atlantis, Mera's expression was already wrong,

And when she heard that Orm wanted to marry her, she chuckled directly in her heart, changed her face on the spot, and got up from her seat in a hurry:

"Father, I don't like him!"
