Chapter 12: The City of Mist
Early the next morning, when Lan Yiwen and Wei'er came downstairs to the door of the Dragon and Rose Hotel, the prince and princess of the water tribe were already waiting there, and a group of attendants stood out of nowhere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Princess Daia did not feel unhappy about Lan Yiwen's tardiness, but comforted Lan Yiwen who was apologetic, while Prince Rommel on the side was still that proud, and he didn't seem to care about Lan Yiwen's arrival.
The Mingyuan Star Domain belongs to the lower middle star field, and the main star in the star field, ninety percent of the surface of the planet where the Shui tribe lives is covered by seawater, so the Shui people living on the planet are born with human bodies and fish tails, but after the Shui people are 10 years old, they will naturally awaken a racial talent - changing legs. Therefore, some Aquarists will choose to change their legs to live on land. And the Mengyuan Kingdom where Daiya is located directly established the royal capital on an island, so for the nobles and some commoners of the Mengyuan Kingdom, they are more accustomed to walking on the road with their legs.
"What a strange racial talent, is this a mutation?" Lan Yiwen thought strangely.
There are hundreds of Star Gates in the Thousand Gates Square of the City of Eternal Night, but most of them have been abandoned for various reasons. His Royal Highness the Prince easily found the Star Gate leading to the Mingyuan Star Domain among the many Star Gates, which was a tall stone gate, and the thick doorpost was carved with waves symbolizing the sea and various strange sea beasts. The tall lintel was engraved with the language of the other world, thanks to the seven-ring magic "language firmness" imposed by the Lord of the Eternal Night, Lan Yiwen easily recognized that it was carved with the word Ming Yuan.
For Lan Yiwen, the feeling of passing through the Star Gate for the first time was wonderful.
The moment Lan Yiwen stepped on the threshold, he was shocked by this never-before-seen scene. He only felt like he was in an infinite universe, full of fast-moving stars. When Lan Yiwen wanted to observe clearly, he felt dizzy in his head.
As if it was just a moment, Lan Yiwen only felt that his eyes lit up, he had already come to the Mingyuan Star Domain, the hometown of the Shui people.
"His Majesty Sithro has seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Princess. His Majesty commanded that if His Highnesses returned, please return to the palace immediately, and His Majesty would be waiting for you in his study. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Star Field, Lan Yiwen heard a strong and powerful voice.
It was a sturdy man with short, gray-blue hair that stood on end, like a cold flame blooming. His expression was serious, his gaze was resolute, and his gaze only fell to the ground when he spoke. Three long scars stretched across the right cheek from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, and a body of jet-black armor densely wrapped around his tall and strong body. From a distance, it looks like a monster in the abyss. Although he was respectful, no one could underestimate him.
He is known as the Beast of the Raging Sea, the chief of the palace guard of Mengyuan Palace, Sithro Mott, the most trusted man of the Mengyuan King.
Seeing the arrival of the chief guard, Prince Rommel and Princess Daia were not surprised, they must have expected the scene in front of them, Daiya was not in a hurry to explain more to Lan Yiwen and the others, but smiled apologetically, gave a few words to the housekeeper Mode, and left in a hurry with the chief guard and brother.
"Mr. Lan Yiwen, Miss Wei'er, please come with me, and I will take you to rest. "The silver-haired old butler Moen should have already been instructed by Daiya to bow down and lead Lan Yiwen and the others out of the palace where the Star Gate was located.
Walking out of the teleportation hall guarded by heavy soldiers, Lan Yiwen looked at everything around him curiously. Although Lan Yiwen knew that these Aquatic people were actually aliens with human bodies and fishtails, they also walked on two legs when they were on land, which made Lan Yiwen have the illusion that he had just arrived in a Terran country with strange customs.
It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, at the bottom of the sea where the royal capital was located, there was once an active underground volcanic group, and one day it seemed to be pulled by an unknown force, this underground volcanic group erupted at the same time, and lava mixed with a metal called Red Star Iron was pushed out of the sea by strong pressure, and then condensed into a huge island, which was the predecessor of the Misty City.
The rulers of the Mengyuan Dynasty have changed several times over the centuries, until three generations ago, the great-grandfather of the current King of the Mengyuan Dynasty, Morster IV, ascended the throne and established the current royal capital of the city of Mists on this lava island. Then he took the strong men under his command to engrave a circle of magic around the seabed under the Misty City, and under the effect of the magic array, the seawater around the Misty City has been rolling violently, and the natural protection of the journey is a circle, and even the sea around the royal capital is often filled with mist, so the royal capital got the name of the Misty City.
Lan Yiwen and Wei'er walked along the streets of the Misty City with the butler, and the strange flowers and trees of the other world made Lan Yiwen dizzy. The streets are lined with small waterholes lined with beautiful coral trees and colourful fish swimming among the coral branches.
Perhaps because of the upcoming Mengyuan martial arts competition, the streets of Wangcheng are full of people coming and going, and the traffic is endless, and there are cars drawn by high sea beasts like seahorses on the specially built waterways from time to time, and occasionally the sea breeze blows, and you can see richly dressed men and women looming behind the curtains.
Following the housekeeper Mode, Lan Yiwen and Wei'er followed the flow of people to the palace city located in the center of the royal capital, and were arranged in a small courtyard owned by Princess Daiya.
In this regard, the housekeeper Mode explained to Lan Yiwen that the royal city was not allowed to enter without the king's permission, so he could only wronged them to live here temporarily. In this regard, Lan Yiwen just shrugged his shoulders, and it was even more difficult for Weier to not have to go to that kind of restrained place.
Following the chief of the guard, Sithro, the second prince Rommel and the princess Daia came to the study of Morster IV, which is the highest place in the entire royal capital, and it is also the favorite place of Morster IV to stay, here, there are all the books that can be found on the Mingyuan continent, this is not so much a study as a library.
Now this old man who is at the apex of power in the Mingyuan Star Domain, the ruler of the Mengyuan Dynasty is standing in front of the tall and clear floor-to-ceiling window. This man who once fought on the battlefield and intimidated the sea is now old, and his blue hair, which was once as dazzling as a jewel, has turned gray. The handsome face that once haunted countless aquatic girls was covered with wrinkles, but his back was still straight. His eagle-sharp gaze looked down at his royal capital, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the fog surrounding the royal capital and sweep into the distance.
In addition to the old man, there was also a man in the study, Rommel and Deya's brother, the eldest prince Sehei Morst. The man stood at the king's desk and watched the king's back quietly. The expression was calm and did not say a word. Although he was not very tall, anyone who saw him seemed to see a stubborn reef, unmoved by the waves.
Even if he is as proud as the second prince, he has to admit that this ordinary brother of the maternal family is the most determined and powerful man he has ever seen.
"Coming back?" said Dya IV's voice, which was slightly hoarse after all.
"I'm sorry, Father. I'm just ......" Daiya glanced at Daiya IV guiltily, lowered her head, and looked like she had obediently admitted her mistake.
"It's good to come back, but you're also fooling around, going to be a gladiator, what if you get hurt. In a few days, the five-year Mengyuan Contest will be held, this time it is your turn to participate, since you have to participate, you must prepare well, I know that you don't like to practice martial arts and magic on weekdays, but even if you lose, don't weaken the name of my Mengyuan royal family. "Deya IV, sitting behind the large desk, looked at his daughter, and there was no more royal contempt in his eyes, but the love of a father.
"Yes, Father, I will try. As if feeling her father's caring gaze, Daiya's voice became clearer.
"I heard you're bringing two people back?" said Morster IV, sucking on the hot tea on the table. The jade leaves taken from the sea allowed his brain to stay awake.
"Well, they are the ones I met in the gladiatorial arena, and one is a Terran man, although his strength is slightly lower, but he is very courageous. There is also an elven girl, whose daughter has seen her on the street, and she can use a seven-series hybrid magic. Speaking of Lan Yiwen and the others, Daiya spoke fluently.
"Oh, that's it, the Elves are able to use the Seven Mixed Magic. Anyway, since you have come to my Mengyuan Dynasty and are our guests, Daiya, you will entertain them well, well, have you told them the details of Mengyuan Dabi?"
"Not yet, I just told them to be my bodyguard. Diana gave Morster IV an embarrassed look.
"In that case, go back and make it clear to them, and take my token, and allow them to choose the same thing in my inner treasury. Morster IV pondered for a moment and said to Deya.
"Father?" Daia glanced at her father in surprise.
"Needless to say, since you didn't make it clear to them, even if my Daiya family has a bad behavior, my Daiya family has never owed anyone, you tell them that letting them pick a suitable thing in the treasure house can be regarded as increasing their strength. Let them play well in the big competition. Tell them that I have another reward after Tabi. The old man's voice was unquestionable.
"Yes, Father, I see. Hearing the words of Morster IV, Dia's fair little face turned hot.
"In that case, stand down and go and see your mother. I have something to say to your brothers. Moester IV waved his hand for Deya to leave first, watching her depart. The kindness in the old man's gaze faded away, replaced by the majesty of the king.
"King of the Endless Ocean, Ryan II has been assassinated. The first words of Morster IV surprised the two princes, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Who did that?" the second prince, Rommel, raised his eyebrows, and the king of a country was assassinated, which was really unbelievable. You must know that in recent decades, the Seven Kingdoms of Mingyuan have rarely entered a period of peace, and the Seven Seas have been peaceful for a long time, and this sudden assassination cannot but be said to be very surprising. It is not surprising that there is a change of throne brought about by a coup d'état or a war, but it is surprising to resort directly to the extreme means of assassination, which is already considered to break the rules of the monarchy system.
"There is no other news from the Shadow Worm, except that it is known that Ryan II has died. Morster IV shook his head and drank the hot tea on the table.
For Morster IV, the assassination of a foreign king can be big or small, if it is a domestic coup d'état or the work of some unsober-minded person, it is better to say that he just has to wait and see who will take the throne in the end. But if someone is secretly planning and fueling the troubles, then everything is full of variables, and it is difficult to determine whether it is good or bad. Organizations that have the audacity to assassinate kings must be treated with caution no matter how they look at it.
The old man looked out the window, and the clouds were closing in the distance, the storm was coming, and the sea was rising again.
