Chapter 20: Conflict and Love Prophecy
The blue and white mermaid is called Dani and occasionally earns some extra money by providing guided tours to visitors to Fish-Man Island.
The fish in this line of work must have one important point, that is, have brains!
Heaton left him behind and let him lead the way, and by the way, he introduced the characteristics of Port Town.
The idea of Estes and the two dating is shattered, but it's better than wandering around town without a clue.
"Two guests, the port town is located in the middle area of Fish-Man Island, because the area exposed to more sunlight is relatively prosperous. Like the undersea apartments on the lower floors, both the housing prices and the living environment are more modest and cheaper. ”
Dani walked to the front of the side, introducing the two of them to Heaton.
Heaton looked at a turtle with bubbles on its back.
"It's a turtle elevator, so it's easy to move between floors."
Heaton nodded, thinking about the unique bubble culture of Chambord and Fish-Man Island.
Following Dani, Heaton took Estes to taste the special seafood of Fish-Man Island and experience the bubble boat.
Especially the bubble boat, in the smaller bubble space, Estes has to lean on Heaton almost the whole person.
Heaton asked Dani that there were very few human tourists on the island, and Fish-Man Island was as dangerous a place for ordinary people as Chambord was for mermaids.
Most slavers had to think carefully about the risks of going to Fish-Man Island to catch merfolk, and more often than not, pirates like Heaton who went to the New World.
Because of the reputation of the Sun Pirates on the outside, few bad pirates dare to go against the fishmen underwater.
But it is precisely because of this that some extreme Fishman supremacists have embraced the idea of hostility to humans, led by Fishman Street, and secretly violated the orders of Princess Otohime to kill the humans on the island.
"Peng!"
A gunshot rang out.
Estes pinched the lead bullet that was fired at Heaton, and with a little force, the lead bullet turned into powder.
Estes's face was gloomy, his eyes almost bursting with fire, and he looked into the corner of the alley not far away.
In order to hit accurately, ordinary flintlock guns in the pirate world generally need to be kept within twenty meters of each other.
】
Heaton took Estes's hand with a slight strain, motioning for her to dissipate.
Even without Estes, such a buckshot, not even armed with domineering, would not be able to damage Heaton at all.
Because of the bonus of seeing and hearing, Estes's reaction was one step faster.
"Bang dang!"
Suddenly, an embarrassed fishman figure ran out of the alley, his face was full of evil, and he looked at Estes in disbelief.
"You guys! You guys! Humans are damned! ”
The fish-man spread his sharp serrated teeth, raised his flintlock pistol, and aimed it at Heaton again.
The surrounding fish-man residents immediately began to panic and fled in all directions.
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out.
A splash of blood splashed on the fish-man's forehead, and the stiff corpse fell to the ground, the ferocity of his face still not dissipated.
"Ahhhh
A piercing scream rang out, and Heaton walked towards the fish-man's corpse.
Just now, it was [Chronos] who grabbed the lead bullet and bounced back at the moment of shooting.
Since returning to the Crimson World, the strength limit of the world rules on the stand-in has long been gone, and the current [Chronos] is a cut above Heaton's body in terms of strength and speed.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"I know, Estes, wait a minute, it's just a guy being used as a gunman!"
With that, Heaton walked to a café in the distance, ignoring the poor corpse on the ground.
Mermaid Cafe.
"Jingle Bell~"
The doorbell rings with the action of pushing the door.
"Welcome!"
The sound of a neat welcome reached Heaton's ears.
A pink-tailed mermaid lady greets Heaton.
"Two cups of coffee!"
Heaton replied casually and walked to the corner of the café and waited.
The Mermaid Cafe is some distance away from the attack, and it is not yet known that a mermaid has been killed.
After a while, a huge blue merfolk obscured Heaton's gaze.
The short black hair that covers the right side of the face, the cold blue eyes, the pale skin, and the rather plump upper circumference are particularly eye-catching.
Xia Li!
Heaton recognized the man.
Xia Li respectfully placed the two cups of coffee on the tray in front of Heaton and Estes, and then handed the tray to the mermaid waiter next to her.
"Looks like you recognize me."
"Fish-Man Island will be destroyed in your hands!"
Xia Li's hand holding the cigarette stick was slightly hard, but she didn't dare to show a little anger on her face.
"That's your attitude of begging?"
Heaton took a sip of his coffee, his eyes lit up.
"The coffee is good, it has a unique undersea flavor, Estes you can taste it."
Heaton smiled and recommended Estes, leaving Charlie aside.
"I..."
Xia Li's body trembled slightly, and her heart seemed to have made up her mind, but she found that her body suddenly couldn't move.
"You are not qualified to come and negotiate terms with me, and even your Fish-Man Island is not qualified."
Peng!
Suddenly, the door of the merfolk café is violently kicked open, and a group of merfolk soldiers rush into the house.
"That's them!"
There were fishmen screaming, and then countless knives and forks turned at Heaton and Estes.
At this moment, a tall figure came to everyone.
White skin, a mouth full of fangs, and a blood-red triangular fork in his hand.
Hody Jones said viciously to Heaton.
"You maliciously killed the residents of Fish-Man Island, and now you are wanted by Fish-Man Island, so go back with me to stand trial!"
"You're leading all of this?"
Heaton looked at Hody Jones, who was holding up the steel fork to him, and his eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
Hody Jones looked at Heaton's gaze, and his heart sank, and he scolded weakly.
"Bastard, don't talk nonsense..."
Heaton didn't bother to look at the guy's ugly face anymore and looked at Xia Li with a meaningful smile on his face as he let go of the stand-in that controlled her.
"Hoddy, what are you doing!"
Charlie asked Hoddy Jones with an ugly face.
"Xia Li, looking at Brother Along's face, you hurry up and get out of here, otherwise it will be bad to hurt you by mistake!"
Hody Jones didn't give Charlie face at all, and used her huge body to squeeze Charlie away and face Heaton.
He didn't like Xia Li who treated humans preferentially, and he had already investigated that the person who got off the pirate ship in front of him had no bounty at all, and the highest was a guy named Doflamingo.
He wants to use the dead fish-man just now to provoke the wrath of Fish-Man Island against humans.
"Hodi, Fish-Man Island will be destroyed!"
Peng!
The fish-man soldier behind him knocked Xia Li unconscious with a stick.
Estes continued to leisurely sip the undersea flavor coffee with her coffee, and since Her Majesty had already made a decision, she didn't plan to interfere.
"Damn!"
Seeing Heaton and Estes so leisurely, Hody was even more angry and was about to make a move.
Clang!
A blood-red steel fork fell to the ground, along with two white arms.
Hody Jones didn't even feel the pain when he saw blood gushing out of his arm.
Katsa!
Then, the legs suddenly twisted strangely, and the shattered bones made a terrible sound.
"Ahh
Hoddy Jones fell to the ground, howling in pain, but it was all for naught, and the legs still twisted uncontrollably.
Smack!
Two legs were pulled off, and at this time, the ground of the mermaid café was already covered with large patches of fish blood.
The sudden strange situation made the mermaid soldiers around them retreat, and the tragic situation of Hody Jones deeply shocked their hearts.
They didn't even know why Boss Hody had become like this when the two people in front of them were still holding coffee and didn't make a move at all.
"Ahh
The waitress at the Mermaid Cafe was the first to react, and the strong smell of blood was almost unbearable.
The screams of fright even drowned out the screams of Hody Jones.
Heaton was unhurried, feeling the smell of blood in the air stimulating his nerves, inexplicably a little refreshed.
This feeling is even more wonderful with the refreshing sea breeze flavor of coffee.
"It's a pity that this guy disrupted our date, Estes."
Heaton said to Estes with some regret.
Ah!
His Majesty personally said that it was a date with me!
A blush rose on Estes' face, and she had become less sensitive as she had spent time with Heaton.
But His Majesty has not yet acknowledged his relationship with me.
Now it's a date with me, isn't it...
"Of course I don't mind, as long as I'm with you, I'm already content!"
Estes had a happy expression on his face.
Heaton looked at Estes's defeated dog and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hmm~"
The sudden warmth from his head made Estes hum softly.
"Miss waiter, can you have two desserts?"
Heaton put away his hand stroking Estes, interrupting the screaming mermaid waiters.
"Huh?"
The mermaid lady's body that interrupted the spell was still trembling, but Heaton's smile was really good-looking, coupled with the perfect side face of the sun shining outside.
My heart pounded suddenly, and I felt that my breathing was a little stagnant, and I couldn't even tell if it was because of fear or heartbeat.
At this moment, the tragic situation of Hody Jones lying in a pool of blood, the gentle sunny side face, the handsome face, and the cold and glamorous beauty of the sky seem to constitute a beautiful picture in the world.
How could such a person be combined with the demon who created such a tragic situation!
Miss Mermaid thought so.
"I'm sorry for you!"
"Hey! Wait! ”
The two mermaid ladies didn't know how they got to the kitchen, how they made two beautiful desserts, and how they got to Heaton and Estes.
But seeing Heaton's grateful smile, Yusheng seemed to be satisfied.
"Does Your Majesty like mermaids?"
Seeing the appearance of the mermaid waiter, Estes showed a dangerous expression.
Should I say it or not, the female mermaids on Fish-Man Island are really beautiful.
The streamlined fishtail, slender waist, and plump figure, and finally with a delicate face, are already super high level for people in the pirate world.
And according to Estes, after the female mermaid is thirty years old, the tail of the fish will turn into legs, which simply satisfies many human habits.
"Of course not, Estes, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful in the world."
Heaton is not a fool, and he will still say good things.
"Your Majesty~"
Estes's shame exploded instantly, and steam began to emanate from his face.
Seeing this scene in front of him, the surrounding fish-man soldiers didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a while.
Under the horrific crime scene, the victim is still moaning in pain, but the murderer begins to flirt.
Damn it!
But no one dared to move forward, and no one wanted to follow in the footsteps of Hoddy Jones.
The mermaid waiter on the side woke up the unconscious Xia Li again, and was also startled to see Hody Jones lying in a pool of blood.
"What did you predict, and why did you say that Fish-Man Island would be destroyed because of me?"
Heaton asked.
Charlie was so tall that Heaton had to look up at her slightly.
She is a big blue shark mermaid, more than five meters tall, even if she sits on the ground and curls up the tail of a fish for nearly three years, she is also more than two meters tall, plus in order to adapt to the growth of the huge body, the overall look is extremely wide.
Especially those two plumps, which are really bigger than Heaton's head.
"I saw Fish-Man Island disappear under the sea, yes, it just disappeared, it was dark, and I couldn't see anything!"
Xia Li recalled the picture in the crystal ball, and when it came to the key point, her body couldn't help but tremble with fear.
?
Hearing Xia Li's words, Heaton was full of question marks.
He didn't think about destroying Fish-Man Island, and Heaton was friendly to this kind of race that was different from humans.
Because when the world is merged, whether it is the fishmen, the fur tribes, the snake heads, etc., they are all important links in the diversity of the empire's races.
However, this is just his idea, and it remains to be seen whether it can be realized, how it will be realized, and whether it will be realized.
Even in the world of pirates, there was a debate about whether a race like the Fish-Man was a human being, and it was not until two hundred years ago that Fish-Man Island became a member of the World Government and began to form a friendly alliance with humans.
However, the problem of discrimination has become more serious, and extreme fish-man supremacy looks down on human beings, and human beings regard fish-people as fish, and you come and go, causing a series of bad consequences.
But this phenomenon does not occur in other races.
Among the slave price lists collected by Heaton in Chambord, ordinary human slaves cost fifty-five Baileys, and rare races such as the Serpent Head Clan, the Little Human Clan, the Hand Chief, the Foot Chief, and the Fur Clan are all at the same price, 700,000 Baileys.
Then there are the Fish-Folk and the Male Mermaids, which cost a million Baileys.
So far, it's all a normal price, and it doesn't look too special.
In the second tier is the overall strength of the giant clan, among them, the male giant costs 50 million Bailey, and the female giant sells for 10 million Bailey.
The highest is a female mermaid, with a price of 100 million, which is still the auction reserve price!
Even after the age of thirty, the fishtail turned into human legs, and the female mermaid, which was no different from a normal human, also sold for 30 million Baileys.
At such a price, a pirate with the same bounty price can be regarded as a sea pirate who dominates one side, even in the four seas.
Therefore, it has attracted countless people to salivate for female mermaids.
It's all a golden Bailey!
But no matter what, Heaton was just passing by today, and even with Hody Jones's series of operations, he never thought of destroying Fish-Man Island.
Not to mention, it's still the kind of method described by Xia Li.
"Do you know where we came from?"
Xia Li nodded.
"We have heard about the news of the Sky Castle, even if we are under the sea, and on the day the Sky Castle appeared, I sensed your presence, a visitor from the Sky City! Even so, I didn't tell anyone but what I thought I was! ”
"Visitor?"
"No, no, no, I don't treat us as guests!"
Heaton frowned at Charlie, who was uncomfortable with Heaton's strange gaze.
"This Charlie... Miss, I now have serious doubts about the accuracy and professionalism of your prophecies. ”
This year, Xia Li is only seventeen years old.
"No, it can't be, I can't go wrong with my language!"
Xia Li straightened up, and the fish butt sitting on the ground suddenly stood upright, very excited.
"Good!"
Heaton slapped the table, making a sound that startled the soldiers around him.
"In that case, let's test it!"
"Inspection?"
"Predict my love with Estes!"
"Huh?" xn
"Really?"
Estes became excited, snickering and a little shy.
What Fish-Man Island is destroyed, what Fish-Man conflicts with humans.
Heaton and Estes didn't care about such a thing, and for them, it wasn't even as important as the choice of the Empress of the Empire.
Heaton has been thinking about when to take Estes down lately.
Previously, because of Estes's strength, Heaton had to be cautious about Estes's relationship problems, and even did not hesitate to make up a small /h/ book to distort Estes's concept of love.
As a result, I didn't expect to hit the right one, which made Estes think about himself.
Although Heaton didn't have any love for Estes before, and he didn't dare to have it, he could have it later!
Heaton is not a hypocritical person, how can the meat in her hand let her run.
Although the personality of the queen he expected is very different, as the strongest in the empire and the most solid and reliable backing of Heaton, who dares to say that Estes is not qualified?
Heaton himself didn't dare to say it!
It is no exaggeration to say that Heaton has made it to where he is today, thanks to Estes.
The minister was overthrown by Estes, the rebels and alien nations were single-handedly quelled by Estes, and the internal strife and even the official reform of the empire were carried out smoothly because of the existence of Estes, and now, the conquest of the other world is also Estes carrying the banner.
I don't know if I think Heaton is the little wife, and Estes is the omnipotent and domineering president, whether it is the stars in the sky or the moon, they are all picked up and given to Heaton to please the little wife.
As the saying goes, behind every successful man there is a reliable woman, and Heaton's success is due to a more reliable Estes.
Although Estes is usually tough and domineering, he is very shy emotionally, especially in the face of Heaton's provocation.
Therefore, Heaton has decided that when this journey is over, he will complete his marriage.
Xia Li, on the other hand, didn't expect Heaton to make such a request.
Relationship problems!
"Is there a business?"
"Yes!"
Xia Li gritted her teeth and continued.
"But the prophecy will become more obscure, not as straightforward as the destruction of Fish-Man Island."
"It's okay, I'm just looking at the future, or anything, it can never be used as a criterion for judging, and in my opinion, your so-called prophecy is no different from street tricks."
Her profession was ridiculed like this in front of her, but Xia Li had to listen.
Damn it!
For a moment, Xia Li felt that Heaton was not so good-looking.
"But just in time, you can pass the time and wait for you Neptune... The king came. ”
Heaton's words were addressed to the soldiers in the distance, who had been standing there since the moment, cowardly and unwilling to die, and spoiled the scenery.
Even Hody Jones, who was on the ground, was bleeding too much and fainted at the moment.
But everyone present didn't even dare to ask if he was alive or dead, and let him lie there.
Xia Li glanced at Hody Jones's mutilated body, a little unbearable.
"Where are you going to do your divination?"
Xia Li asked very carefully, the crystal ball used for divination was in the divination hut at the back of the café, where guests were usually received.
But she didn't dare to go anywhere to Heaton.
"Let's go."
Heaton said casually, getting up and walking with Estes and Charlie to the divination hut.
Whoa!
As Heaton moved, the surrounding fish-man soldiers moved at the same time.
Heaton frowned at the group of fishmen, dissatisfaction written on his face.
Winter!
The momentum of intimidation made all the mermaids can't help but weaken their legs and feet, and they kneel on the ground.
Heaton didn't even turn on Overlord Color.
If you keep up with Xia Li again, no one will dare to move.
The divination hut is dimly lit and has a table with a few cushions in front of it for guests to sit down.
Xia Li walked around to the back of the table and sat in the soothsayer's seat.
"Sit down, both of you!"
Heaton asked Estes to sit inside, and he sat outside.
Xia Li lifted the red cloth on the table, and a bright light lit up in the room.
A clear crystal ball is placed on a soft cushion.
The light is emitted by the crystal ball reflecting the light in the house.
"For love divination, it is also divided into many kinds, since the two of you are predicting the direction of your next love, please do what I say next."
Heaton and Estes exchanged glances.
Compared to Heaton's calm heart, Estes was extremely nervous.
What if the two break up?
What if Your Majesty falls in love with someone else?
What if a bad woman ruins the relationship between the two of us?
Estes thinks a lot, and after so many years, he has seen the bloody episodes of romance in his mind one by one.
even directly ignored the identity of Emperor Heaton and the strongest strength of his empire.
She was like a little girl, nervous, expectant, and scared.
"Please hold each other's hands."
Xia Li's voice rang out.
Estes came back to her senses again, and just as she wanted to stretch out her hand, she felt a warmth in her right hand, and the temperature from her palm suddenly made her feel at ease.
"Please come closer."
Both moved a little towards each other at the same time.
"Relax your mind, put aside distractions, feel the temperature of each other's palms seriously, and recall the happiest moments when you feel with each other."
The happiest?
The two held hands, heart to heart, and the divination room was suddenly quiet.
After a while, Xia Li's voice sounded again.
"Look at the crystal ball and observe the picture inside, but don't say what you see!"
Following Xia Li's instructions, the two tacitly looked at the crystal ball at the same time.
The image on the crystal ball begins to change.
