Chapter 278: Seagod Trident!
Levi's "Superman Strategy Project" is in full swing and has already begun to bear fruit.
And what Levi has to do next is to solidify his friendship with Superman.
And Arthur, on the other side, has gradually become familiar with all kinds of common sense in the Kingdom of Atlantis in recent days.
The best learning opportunities are based on hands-on experience.
Although Nudis also told him a lot of basic knowledge about the kingdom of Atlantis when he taught him before.
But that's just on paper.
Now that Arthur has come to the kingdom of Atlantis himself, he has gradually seen the life of this kingdom through his own eyes.
How to say it.
It is very different from life on land, as well as from the state system.
Although Atlantis is not inferior to the landers in terms of technology, it is even better than the technological level of some countries on land in some aspects.
At least in Atlantis, energy weapons are fully popular!
But in terms of the state system, Atlantis has always maintained the rule of a feudal dynasty.
With the blood of Aquaman, the ruler of the Kingdom of Atlantis has always been a descendant of Aquaman.
When it comes to the Aquaman bloodline, we have to talk about the special ability brought by the Aquaman bloodline - commanding the creatures of the deep sea!
This special ability is not something that all descendants of the Sea King bloodline can awaken.
But as long as the Aquaman bloodline can continue to be passed on, it is possible to awaken this ability in anyone at any time!
Arthur awakens, but Orm doesn't!
As a result, although Prince Orm has deep roots in the Kingdom of Atlantis, in a sense, he and Arthur's power is still roughly balanced between the two sides.
Although Arthur could see that under this traditional feudal kingdom system, the lives of the commoners of Atlantis were not as happy as those of the landers, but he had no intention of changing anything.
After all, he came to fight for the throne of this so-called Sea King, and he only wanted to save his mother from the Trench Clan!
And the preliminary process of the throne challenge has also been carried out almost completely, and now the topics discussed by the civilians of the entire Atlantis Kingdom are almost all about the throne challenge.
Arthur discovered something else.
That is, Orm actually planned to annex all the underwater kingdoms, and then concentrate the power of the underwater world to attack the humans on land!
Drown the whole world in the water!
Arthur's source is a woman named Mera!
The identity of this Mera is also very strange, and even Arthur is a little incredulous, and even thinks that the other party may find him Maybe it is Orm's conspiracy!
Because Mera is the fiancée of Prince Aum!
At the same time, she is also the princess of the Zebel Kingdom, one of the seven kingdoms under the sea!
"Since you're Orm's fiancée, and I'm a competitor to Orm now, why are you telling me this, and what's in it for you?"
Arthur looked at Mera with suspicion.
Although he likes to use his muscles to think a lot of times, now that he is in the King of Atlantis, he has to use his brain!
There was no one in the entire kingdom that he could trust except his teacher Nudis!
When Arthur voiced his suspicions, Mera spread her hands helplessly.
"Although I am Aum's fiancée, I don't like him, his ambition is too great, and our Zebel Kingdom is not in favor of attacking like humans on land." Mera sighed helplessly when she said this, "If you don't follow him to attack the humans on land, then Aum will start a war like that country, until it is finally completely annexed......
Listening to Mera's explanation, Arthur finally knew why.
Mera though is nominally Aum's fiancée.
But in fact, instead of having any feelings between the two, they are now fighting each other.
It was with the promise that after he ascended the throne, he would annex the other deep sea realms and then launch an attack on the terrestrial humans, that Orm won the support of most of his ministers!
And the Zebel Kingdom of Mera is the first target of Aum's plan!
Maela bears the brunt!
That's when she found Arthur.
"So, Arthur, you must not allow Orm to officially ascend to the throne!" Mera solemnly instructed Arthur.
Arthur was in a bit of a quandary.
He had been in the kingdom of Atlantis for a few days now, and he had some knowledge of Orm, the rival of the throne challenge.
Aum didn't have the ability to awaken the Sea King's bloodline to command sea creatures like him.
But its own strength is very strong.
Orm grew up training under his biological father, Ovax, the captain of the Atlantean Guard.
Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Endurance, Super Five Senses Plus Super Defense......
The fighting ability is even more outstanding!
With all these years of training, Aum's fighting ability is even stronger than his master Nudis!
A few years ago, Orm was able to defeat Nudis in a sparring!
Although Arthur was confident in his own strength, he was not blindly confident.
The Throne Challenge is a one-on-one battle, so Arthur can't use the abilities of Aquaman's bloodline in addition to his own power!
And in terms of his own strength alone, Arthur is honestly not sure that he can defeat Orm!
"Miss Mera," Arthur said helplessly. "Actually, I want to win the throne challenge more than you, after all, I can only release my mother if I become the kingdom of Atlantis."
"But, I'll tell you the truth, Aum is very strong, he has been training with the previous captain of the escort since he was a child, and I am not too sure that I will be able to defeat him."
Hearing Arthur say this, Mera couldn't help but frown.
About Atlantis's former queen Atalana, Mera doesn't know much.
After all, this matter belongs to the scandal within the Atlantean royal family, and she only knows that Queen Atlanta seems to have been pressed into the territory of the Trench Clan in the end.
It's not something they can solve right now.
However, the question of Aum's strength that Arthur raised was a problem that they had to solve at the moment.
Poisoning or using other shady tricks won't work at all!
The rules of the throne challenge are no secret among the seven kingdoms of the deep sea.
No one, inside or outside the kingdom, can do anything about the throne challenge, otherwise once discovered, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the entire kingdom of Atlantis!
Mera also has no choice.
However, Mera has another way to help Arthur increase his chances of winning!
"Arthur, have you ever heard of the Poseidon Trident?" Mera asked Arthur.
Arthur nodded.
"Of course, I've heard that the weapon of the first king of the kingdom of Atlantis is rumored to be the prototype of the trident now assembled in the Atlantean army."
Mera shook her head, "No! Arthur, that's not just a legend, it's real! The Poseidon Trident is a true artifact!"
"If you can get the Poseidon Trident, then you will definitely be able to defeat Aum in the throne challenge!"
Now it was Arthur's turn to be helpless.
"Even if we know that the Seagod Trident really exists, no one knows where it is, and the Kingdom of Atlantis has been searching for so many years, and there is no trace."
When his teacher Nudis was training him, Nudis once told him about the origin of the Trident.
Naturally, it is also mentioned that Atlantis has not given up on finding the whereabouts of the Poseidon Trident over the years, but has not found any clues.
Arthur was very self-aware
Obviously, he didn't think that what he couldn't find with the power of the Kingdom of Atlantis could be found by himself!
But at this time, there was a strange glint in Mera's eyes, and she looked at Arthur.
"What if I say, I know where the Poseidon Trident is?"
As soon as Mera said this, Arthur was immediately startled.
He hurriedly got up and walked to the door, looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, and then closed the door and looked at Mera seriously.
"Mera, do you know what you're talking about?"
Mera Jiao laughed.
"Of course I do."
Hearing this, Arthur's expression became even more solemn.
He is not a fool, since Mera dares to say this, then at least it proves that the Trident of the Sea God is real, and not made up in myths and legends.
If this is the case, then whether it is from the Seagod Trident, whether it is symbolic or practical, for the Kingdom of Atlantis, it is an existence that must be in its hands!
Even if the price is to start a war, they will not hesitate to do it!
And once the news was learned by Prince Orm or other people from the Kingdom of Atlantis.
The first to suffer is probably the Zebel Kingdom of Mera!
After all, it was only with the support of most of his ministers that Orm had made a plan to start a war and annex other deep sea kingdoms after gaining the throne.
It does not have a high level of support among the civilian population.
And once Orm started a war against the kingdom of Zebel on the grounds of the Poseidon Trident.
At that time, I am afraid that everyone in the Atlantis Kingdom will support Orm!
Arthur, as the heir to the throne who grew up on land, although he couldn't understand why the meaning of the Seagod Trident was so important, he knew better that it was more practical for civilians to live and work in peace than these ethereal artifacts!
And what makes Arthur a little uncertain is another question.
"Mera, since you already know the clues to the Poseidon Trident, why did you tell me instead of getting it yourself?"
In myths and legends, the Poseidon Trident is a veritable artifact, and the role of the Poseidon Trident cannot be ignored in the process of founding Atlantis by the founder of the Kingdom of Atlantis, that is, the first king!
If Mera gets the Poseidon Trident in her hands, with the strength of the Poseidon Trident at that time, I am afraid that there is no need to worry about Atlantis waging war against the Zebel Kingdom!
Mera glanced at Arthur with a white look.
"You think I haven't tried? But I don't have the blood of the Sea King, let alone get the Seagod Trident, I can't even see it!"
Mera is also honest and tells the truth to Arthur.
When Mera said this, Arthur was convinced.
After all, it seems very reasonable.
The Poseidon Trident is an artifact!
How could the first king of Atlantis not make some restrictions on it?
At the very least, he wanted to prevent others from using his artifact to fight his descendants.
"So ......"
Arthur's expression became serious, and there was no longer the slightest smile on his face.
"Mera, you mean, help me get the Poseidon Trident, win the throne challenge, and make the Kingdom of Atlantis abandon its plans to start a war?"
"It's a deal." "But I have to correct you, as long as you can get the Seagod Trident, you will be the rightful heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Atlantis!" You don't even need to challenge for the throne!"
Arthur was shocked when he heard this!
After all, he returned to the Kingdom of Atlantis for too short a time, and he didn't understand the significance of the Trident of the Sea God to the Kingdom of Atlantis.
It seems that now the Poseidon Trident itself is bound to win!
Whether it's to save his own mother or to stop Orm from going land
Wage war on human civilization!
"Good! I promise you! If I can get the Seagod Trident, I will definitely try not to let the seven powers of the deep sea go to war!"
Arthur stretched out his hand and said solemnly to Mera.
Mera also reached out and shook Arthur's hand.
In fact, until now, Mera has breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, she would never have made such a dangerous move!
After all, before that, she didn't know what kind of person Arthur was.
If Arthur is the same careerist as Orm, then after she tells the clues about the Poseidon Trident, she is tantamount to aiding and abetting!
The Kingdom of Atlantis is the most powerful of the seven kingdoms of the deep sea.
If they get the Seagod Trident again, I'm afraid that the other six great powers of the deep sea will not be able to stop the Atlantis Kingdom if they join forces!
But luckily she won!
After she said the news of the Poseidon Trident just now, Arthur's first reaction was not to ask him about the Poseidon Trident, but to prevent the news from leaking out and affecting his own safety.
It still doesn't prove anything, but at least it proves that Arthur and Orm are not the same kind of people!
"Happy working together!"
Arthur and Mera shook hands together and reached a cooperation that is of great significance to the entire seven kingdoms of the deep sea!
Next, Mera naturally gave Arthur the clues he knew.
In fact, the Zebel Kingdom can be regarded as the oldest country among the seven kingdoms of the deep sea.
Otherwise, how could they have learned the secrets of the ancient kingdom of Atlantis!
There was not much time left before the challenge to the throne began, and after receiving the clues that Mera had given him, Arthur set off immediately.
He had to get the Poseidon Trident as soon as possible!
And Mera naturally followed him to the ......
The location of the first clue is a very famous desert on Earth......
