"Well, what's the matter, Red, you look a little haggard, did you go to the 'magic supply' with some girl last night?"

On the deck of the Noble Phantasm Golden Deer, Drake, who was wearing a shirt, looked at Red with a teasing smile.

"No...... It's just that he and Tetterot are preparing a new spirit robe for Artoria Custer, but for some reason, Trot and Caster are not in a good mood, so the Holy Sword Messenger's spirit robe still failed to sew it out in the end. ”

Red yawned and sighed regretfully, he had planned to improve Custer's strength by tricks, but it didn't seem that simple.

After all, according to the development of the original plot, Custer needs to sacrifice all his memories, and even sacrifice his own existence in order to become, that is, Artoria Avalon, the collective incarnation of all the Holy Sword Envoys.

Of course, Red couldn't let Custer sacrifice himself, but in this case, Custer would have to think of other ways if he wanted to grow further.

"Meow~"

At that moment, the Spirit Star on Red's shoulder yawned and flicked Red's head lightly with his tail.

"I know that both Custer and Tetrot have special thoughts about me...... But I'm not a Teddy either, and they're probably just thinking this way because of the atmosphere, and I want them to calm down for a while and then they'll stick to it. ”

After 2000 years, Red has gained more or less, and the most important thing is that in terms of mentality, he is relatively calm and understands her thoughts better than before.

For Gareth, who has already made up his mind, Red will not refuse; But for Custer and Tetrot, who are still nervous, Red will not take advantage of the danger to eat them.

This is what a mature man is like -

"Hmph, you're pretending again, aren't you just worried that you won't be able to promise those two children, you can't fool me, Lord Master."

But just then, Drake's arm was on Red's shoulder, and he approached Red's ear affectionately.

"But in my values, the strong should have everything and protect everything...... Red, you have that qualification. ”

Feeling the burning emotion in Drake's eyes, the fire in Red's heart was also stirred.

In the refreshing sea breeze, Red and Drake began to slowly approach-

Da-da-da-da.

But at this moment, the sound of crisp footsteps sounded on the deck not far behind them, and both Red and Drake immediately separated slightly in embarrassment.

"Oh? Did I disturb you, don't worry about me, just think of me as an ornamental plant. ”

I saw Diana, the puppet in tight armor, glanced at Red and Drake, and walked directly past them to the stern of the ship without changing her face.

Although the other party said so, Red and Drake obviously did not continue the atmosphere, especially Drake, although this female pirate usually looks very open, but in fact she is thinner than many girls, it is definitely impossible for her and Red to perform in front of others.

"Ahem, I'll check if there's any other problem with the Golden Deer, after all, it's been a long time since I've used this Noble Phantasm - we'll talk later, Red."

Drake hid in the cabin as if he had escaped, and Red hesitated for a moment whether to chase after him, but finally sighed lightly and walked in the direction of the puppet Diana.

"Oh? Don't you have to go to 'mana supply' with your servants? It looks like she's ready to serve you at any moment. ”

The doll Diana looked at Red with a smirk, and the latter shrugged generously and unshyly.

"There's no rush to replenish mana, and we're in enemy territory right now, so it's not surprising if something suddenly happens - I don't want to be forced to fight while I'm connected to others."

"Interconnected...... Tsk, rascals. ”

As if hearing the meaning of Red's words, the puppet Diana snorted angrily, glared at Red with shame and annoyance, and then turned her face away.

Sure enough, this kind of thing is that as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

But Red wasn't here to make a joke with the puppet Diana, he cleared his throat and asked tentatively.

"How is your body now, after leaving the land of Britain and entering Atlantis...... Do you feel anything out of the ordinary? ”

Hearing Red's words, the puppet Diana first closed her eyes, as if sensing something, and then shook her head gently after a moment.

"It's no different from before...... If I had to say that, my mana replenishment had slowed down a bit since I left Britain - don't, don't get me wrong, I didn't suggest that I wanted you to replenish my mana. ”

Facing the vigilant gaze of the puppet Diana, Red couldn't cry or laugh a little.

I didn't say that, and there should be more ways to replenish mana in Olympus, which is full of atmospheric magic.

Yes, now Red and the others are sailing the seas to the Persona Belts again.

After the Persona Belt descended on this new planet, although there was something similar to a storm barrier, it actually did not have the original space isolation ability, and Red and the others did not spend much effort to easily break through this symbolic barrier and came to this familiar sea.

After all, Atlantis and Olympus were the first Persona Bands that Red came into contact with, and maybe the rest of the Hiders were here, so if you want to know the specific situation of the Hidden People and the Chaldeans, it would be best to start with this Persona Belt first.

Of course, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, Red used the Golden Deer to sail in a more covert way, and he didn't bring too many companions with him.

In addition to Red and Spirit, Drake and the puppet Diana can be considered to be born in this Persona Zone, so it would be nice to have them return to their hometown.

That is, strictly speaking, they are not their original bodies now, Drake's spirit base has already undergone earth-shaking changes due to the influence of the red light ring after making a contract with Red, although it still has the memory character and ability of Francis Drake, but in fact, it is already exclusive to Red, and will not return to Valhalla.

This is especially true of the doll Diana, whose original body made in Olympus is still in the Lingzi projection frame next to the Star Sea, the total energy of the red light.

There is no way to do this, after all, the puppet Diana's original life should have been very short, but after she passed the Lingzi projection, her original body was frozen, and the Lingzi projection's body was replenished because of the sacrifice of Queen Mab.

At first, Red was worried that because the magic that made up the doll Diana came from Queen Mabbe, it would be affected after leaving Britain, but now it seems that although the influence is more or less, it is not serious for the doll Diana.

However, the doll Diana looked in the direction of Britain, and her expression was somewhat complicated and melancholy.

"What's the matter, are you worried about Nokana Rei? Don't worry, with Morgan and Ash in their presence, Britain's defense is sufficient, and as long as Noknaray continues to have the support of the northern elves, she will continue to gain incomparably greater power as queen. ”

"No, I'm thinking ....... If Queen Mab ....... It would be nice if Noknari could see the scenery here. ”

The doll Diana whispered thoughtfully.

"I used to tell her about Atlantis...... And when it came to Olympus, she said she wanted to come here and see it for herself...... What is the world outside of Britain, another world that is highly prosperous, so ......"

"You don't have to worry about that, Diana."

Red put his hand gently on Diana's shoulder and spoke to her in a firm tone.

"Soon, neither here nor Olympus, nor all of the Persona Belts will be open to Noknari, or any of us, the land of the Red Lantern Corps, and you will be ready to visit here at any time."

The doll Diana looked at Red in surprise, and after a moment her gaze softened a little.

"Really, I still like to boast about Haikou as always, but if you can really do it......"

Suddenly, at this moment, the Golden Deer stopped, and Red squinted his eyes and looked around, although this was an ocean that seemed to be unable to locate correctly, Red still intuitively sensed that this was his first destination.

"We seem to have arrived, Red, and this is where we came before...... The very top of the palace of the Kingdom of Atlantis. ”

Hearing Drake's words come out of the cabin, Red nodded slightly, and then leaned out to look at the seemingly unfathomable depths of the ocean below.

"Then let's go down, after all, the Queen of Atlantis invited us over last time, but she didn't give us a proper send-off - we weren't technically trespassing this time."

——

To be honest, Red was not hopeful about the existence of the Atlantis Kingdom from the beginning, after all, when he was on Earth before, it was because the Atlantic Persona Belt and the Atlantic Ocean of the DC Universe overlapped, so he saw the palace of Atlantis.

But the good news is that when the Golden Deer turned into a submarine wrapped in red light energy and sank all the way to the bottom of the sea, they once again saw the resplendent city and palace of Atlantis.

But the bad news is –

"It's too quiet here, is it all hidden, or is it ......?"

"No, it's not, there's no one here, and you feel the same way, Francis."

Red looked at Drake, who also had the red light ring, and nodded slightly.

There is no emotion of anger in this sea - anger is the nature of living beings, especially ......

"Wait a minute."

Red suddenly came out of the Golden Deer, and the high pressure on the bottom of the sea had no effect on Red under the protection of the red light energy.

"Collapse the mountain and slash!"

I saw a bright red blood qi blade instantly condensed in Red's hand, and then he raised the weapon in his hand lightly and smashed it hard.

And the target of the strongest red lantern demon was the huge statue of Aquaman in front of the Atlantis Palace, which was thirty meters high.

Boom –

The statue of Aquaman Arthur Curry was quickly torn apart and shattered under the baptism of red light energy, just like Aquaman himself, who was an enemy of Red back then.

"Okay, refreshed...... And in this way, it is even more certain that there are no Atlanteans here. ”

If at the beginning, Red let him keep a low profile in Atlantis because of a little guilt for deceiving Mera, but since Mera cheated Rader before, now Red thinks that he doesn't owe Mera anything at all.

In that case, there is no need to be polite.

The Golden Deer crashed directly into the Atlantis palace, mercilessly smashing most of the palace structure.

"What are we here for?"

The puppet Diana looked at the shattered palace in front of her, and her expression was a little more nostalgic and melancholy, after all, she had been here before, but when she was just born, she clinged to Red like a bird.

Although that time was 2,500 years ago for the puppet Diana, this memory is still as clear as yesterday.

"Although the Atlanteans are gone...... But I don't think even Queen Mera could take everything with her—or rather, she couldn't convince all the Atlanteans to abandon the whole country and run away...... Maybe there is still a way back, so let's split up and see if we can find some clues. ”

Red touched his chin slightly, then narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"And of course the most important thing - do you remember what happened the last time we were here?"

Diana nodded, recalling the scene.

"At that time, Queen Mera promised to tell us about the last Chaldean lord...... Rika Fujimaru's intel, and will tell you everything about the Persona Bands coming to the DC Universe - but she broke her promise and tricked us all into landing on the Poseidon flagship, and then used the Poseidon flagship to send us to the paradise island of the Star Sea......"

"No, no, no, to be precise, Mera is not completely breaking her promise, she did let Rika Fujimaru come out to meet us, and she also managed to reunite me with my fellow Red Lantern Legion on Paradise Island - it should be said that she is halfway through her promise, and she has not fully fulfilled it."

Red had an understated smile on his face, as if the betrayal and trap of Mera last time was unfazed for him.

"But most importantly, we went to the Star Sea through here last time...... But now, the Sea of Stars is already the total energy storage location of our Red Lantern Legion, so it is impossible to keep this unauthorized passage alive. ”

For Red, the war with the rest of the Persona Belt is a secondary—and most importantly, he must ensure the safety of the Red Light's total energy source.

"I'm going to destroy the planet's intrastellar sea passages except Britain...... This is just the beginning! ”
