Chapter 222: Arriving at Poseidon Island
Heaven Dou City, as the most luxurious and magnificent palace in the imperial palace, who else can live in it, except for the most powerful one in the entire empire?
Knock knock.
In the study, the Snow Night Emperor, dressed in a golden-red robe, raised his head slightly and looked at the door in front of him.
"Enter."
As the voice sounded, one of the guards pushed the door in, came to the table and knelt down on one knee, and spoke with a respectful expression.
"Your Majesty, Prince Snow Star and His Highness Avalanche ask to see you."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the Snow Night Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and then seemed to think of something, his body shook violently, and a flash of surprise erupted in his eyes.
"Let them in."
"Yes."
The guard led the way out of the room, and in a short time an old man and a young man dressed in fine clothes entered the room under the guidance of the guard, and bowed to him.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
"No courtesy."
I saw that after the Snowy Night Emperor waved his hand and cleared the guards, he spoke.
"Xuexing, I asked to see you this time, but I have clues about what you investigated before?"
Prince Snow Star glanced at the avalanche beside him and arched his hand.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's exactly this matter, and thanks to the avalanche, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have found out so quickly."
Hearing this, the Snow Night Emperor raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on his fourth son.
"Oh? I can't imagine that Avalanche is so concerned about this matter? ”
It was indeed because of the avalanche, as early as when Shrek Academy first came to Tiandou City and wanted to join the Tiandou Royal Academy, he had contact with it, to be precise, he was severely beaten, and then after his revenge, this triggered the later Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo to drive Shrek away.
After he drove away, he found out that Shrek Academy had joined Lanba Academy, and in order to conform to his image of being a fool who must repay his flaws, he also sent spies into it, and by chance he found out that the holder of the Haotian Hammer had used various delicate hidden weapons during the training process.
It's just that at that time, he was bent on stumbling on the other party, so he didn't think about soliciting until the task assigned by the Snowy Night Emperor appeared, and he recalled it by chance, and he went down the vine, and sure enough, he found out something.
As soon as he thought of this, Prince Xuexing couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, the wrong thing at the beginning was now a blessing in disguise, if Avalanche hadn't retaliated against the other party, it would have been impossible to find the clue so quickly.
Shrek may even join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you must know that the Heaven Dou Academy was biased towards the prince's forces at that time, if they were taken under the prince's command, then where would they have a bright future?
But he definitely didn't dare to say this kind of thing to Xue Ye, what he needed to do now was to take this opportunity to change Avalanche's original image in front of the Snow Night Emperor step by step, and this process could not be noticed by Xue Qinghe.
Although no evidence was caught, until now, he still believed that the two princes before were the work of the other party, and Avalanche had been safe and sound by pretending to be a gentleman over the years, which undoubtedly confirmed his guess.
If Avalanche shows the talent to threaten the other party's crown prince, he may die at home one day.
As the last card in his hand, he had to be extremely careful.
Because of the explanation given by Xue Xing, the avalanche at this moment has changed from its previous laziness, and his voice is a little calm.
"What my father explains, I should go all out."
Looking at Avalanche's obviously different eyes, Xue Ye's heart sank, as if at this moment he had re-acquainted himself with his unsuccessful son.
Although he doesn't know why the other party has suddenly become different, he is still very happy to see his son undergo this change, as an emperor, he naturally doesn't want his son to be a wine bag and rice bag, which will cause others to talk about it.
A relieved smile appeared on his old face, and he nodded.
"Yes, I have a heart, so, who is selling this thing?"
Seeing Xue Ye's smile, Avalanche was slightly happy, the effect seemed to be much better than he imagined, although there was still a long way to go before shaking Xue Qinghe's position in the other party's heart, but at least it had changed Xue Ye's impression of himself.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and gave the answer.
"Back to my father, it's Haotian Sect."
The appearance of the last three words made the Snow Night Emperor's face change, and the hand holding the armrest unconsciously tightened a little.
"Haotian Sect!?"
"Yes, Erchen has investigated clearly, and it is determined that Haotian Sect is selling this thing."
"How could it be Haotian Sect. Are they ready to be born? ”
"This is not clear, but Erchen guesses that Haotian Sect's sale of secret weapons should also be secretly using a lot of Yuexuan's channels, otherwise it will be difficult for them to open the market among the nobles of Heaven Dou City."
Xue Ye nodded, thinking about it carefully, if Haotian Sect made this kind of magical secret weapon, it would indeed be excusable, after all, it was the first sect in the world.
He took a deep look at his fourth son, and when he saw it, the other party's ability was indeed there, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he said in a majestic tone.
"Since it was an avalanche that you discovered, then you will go to Yuexuan on my behalf and invite the secret weapon maker of Haotian Sect to come to the palace to discuss cooperation, if you perform well, you will be responsible for the follow-up matters."
"Yes! Thank you, Father! ”
Avalanche's face was happy, he knew that this was a test, and if he could do this well, his image in Xue Ye's heart would undoubtedly be greatly improved.
But isn't that his chance? This is an opportunity to connect with the strongest sect in the continent alone! If he can get the support of Haotian Sect because of this, who will sit on the throne of the crown prince is really two words.
Prince Xuexing on the side pursed his lips when he saw this, and hit the railway while it was hot.
"I hope Your Majesty will keep quiet about this matter."
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"Do you remember the owner of the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul that appeared in the Soul Master Competition?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"That owner's name is Tang San, after an avalanche investigation, it was found that the other party had used a hidden weapon long before the Soul Master Competition, I heard that before the Soul Master Competition, Sect Master Ning had also gone to Shrek Academy several times before the competition, but he prevented you from contacting the other party, I just don't know if he had seen the hidden weapon"
Xuexing didn't directly say his judgment, just provided information, at this time, it would definitely be better to let the other party make up his own brain than to say it directly, if something happened afterwards, he could also withdraw and avoid a charge of sowing discord.
As for the purpose of doing this, on the one hand, it can make Xue Ye take the initiative to keep it secret, so as to prevent Xue Qinghe from detecting that Avalanche has shown his ability and poses a threat to his position.
On the other hand, it can also weaken the power of Xue Qinghe.
When he learned that it was Haotian Sect who was selling secret weapons, he realized that his opportunity had come, Xue Ye's last words implied that the Heaven Dou Empire could not do without the support of the Upper Three Sects, and now there was a new opportunity in front of him.
Once there was a new choice, Ning Fengzhi's status in the heart of the Snow Night Emperor would plummet, which would undoubtedly greatly weaken Xue Qinghe's power.
Thinking back to the young man who used the Haotian Hammer at the beginning, the Snow Night Emperor's face sank suddenly.
When he first saw the Haotian Hammer, he also thought about contacting the other party, but Ning Fengzhi told him that the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall was pushed to the Martial Soul Hall by the other party, so he gave up.
As Prince Xuexing said, if the other party has not seen the hidden weapon, it is fine, if he has seen it, he must prevent himself from contacting the other party
Thinking of the other party's somewhat unclear relationship with the Holy Son of the Martial Spirit Hall since then, he felt more and more that something was wrong in his heart.
At this moment, he was more and more eager to find another backer, and the current Haotian Sect might be a good choice, and this matter was indeed as Prince Xuexing said, before he figured out Ning Fengzhi's true attitude, he had to do it secretly.
Regardless of whether the other party really has this mind, you must take precautions.
"I know, Avalanche, this matter must be kept secret, and no one must know about it."
"Yes!"
On the endless sea, a small boat is breaking the waves.
There were three people sitting on the boat, a young man with long white hair, a silver-haired girl, and a man who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old.
The man was looking at the peerless young man and girl in front of him at this moment, with gratitude for the rest of his life in his eyes.
"Thank you two for driving away that sea soul beast just now, otherwise I'm afraid I would have died in the belly of the fish."
The boy smiled and waved his hand, asking softly.
"It's just a gesture, uncle, how can you be here alone?"
The young man was Huo Yuhao, he and Gu Yuena saw the boat that was being attacked by the sea soul beast when they were flying in the air, and after helping it run away, they were warmly invited by the old man to rest on the boat.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the old man waved his hand.
"I'm going to Poseidon Island this time, and I'm going to exchange some supplies from the mainland for some special products there to sell, but I didn't expect bad luck this time, I met a sea soul beast on the way, but the two of them went to sea, why didn't they see the boat? Did you fly all the way? ”
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena glanced at each other and said with a wry smile.
"Our ship was also attacked by a more powerful sea soul beast, and it was directly destroyed, fortunately I was able to fly, and I escaped by luck with the one who flew into the air next to me, and I was still worried about what to do in this vast sea, so I met your ship, uncle."
Judging from the other party's breath, it was a soul venerable of about thirty levels, and this kind of thing flying all the way might be too shocking for the other party, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Huo Yuhao chose an explanation that was easier to believe.
The man suddenly realized, no wonder he watched the young man fly down with the girl in his arms, especially when he saw the unmortal appearance of the two at first sight, he thought he had met a fairy.
"I see, the two of them can be described as talented and beautiful, this appearance is simply the only one I have seen in my life, it seems that this one next to me is the young man your lover, right? encountered this danger and did not abandon the other party, affectionate and righteous! In that case, let's rest on my ship for a while, where are you going next? Old man, shall I send you first? ”
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face froze, and he subconsciously glanced to the side, seeing that Gu Yuena was not disgusted, so he responded with a dry smile.
"Then thank you, uncle, the two of us are also going to Poseidon Island."
The more this kind of thing is explained, the more troublesome it becomes, so I simply default to it.
"That's a good relationship, just along the way, but looking at the two of you, it doesn't seem like a sea soul master, right? Poseidon Island is very xenophobic, so be careful. ”
I saw Huo Yuhao's eyes light up, and he suddenly became interested.
"Huh? Looking at the old man's appearance, he seems to know a lot about Poseidon Island? Is it from Poseidon Island, can you tell us two about the situation there? ”
"It used to be, the two of you are my lifesavers, there is nothing that can't be said, but what I know is some superficial information, please don't be surprised."
I saw that the old man cleared his throat and asked after a moment's deliberation.
"Do you believe that there is a god in this world?"
“.”
The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and after seeing Gu Yuena's also somewhat strange face, Huo Yuhao nodded lightly.
"Since the two of you believe it, it's easy to explain, Poseidon Island is a place to worship the god of the sea, just like the impression of the land soul master on the Wuhun Temple, Poseidon Island is a recognized holy place in the mind of the sea soul master, and even because of the direct relationship with the gods, the sea soul master's belief in the sea god island is much more pious than the land soul master's belief in the Wuhun Temple, and the sea soul master there has been proud of believing in the sea god for generations."
"Huh? Does everyone there know that there is a God? ”
You must know that in the mainland, a Titled Douluo like Poison Douluo may not necessarily know that there is a god in this world, but listening to what the other party said, everyone there seems to know about it.
It's like everyone in the Wuhun Hall knows the angel god.
"In fact, it's not just the sea soul master in Poseidon Island who knows, because if you want to stay on Poseidon Island for a long time, you must first pass the test and get the approval of the Poseidon, and those who don't pass the test will be expelled from the island.
"Test?"
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Is this a divine test? Poseidon Island's divine examination is so common? Everybody?
"Yes, the test descended by the god of the sea himself, every outsider needs to be tested as soon as he lands on the island, and those who have lived on the island of the sea god since birth are no exception, and at the age of eighteen, they also need to accept the test of the god of the sea, and everyone's test may be the same, or it may be completely different."
"Old man, I used to be a person from Poseidon Island, but because I failed to pass the test as an adult, I lost the qualification to continue to stay on the island, and now I can only rely on my understanding of the needs of Poseidon Island, and often go back and forth with Poseidon Island on the mainland to do some small business."
"I see. So the penalty for failure is expulsion from the island? ”
"No, that's the punishment for the sea soul master, the test of the sea god will not only reduce the difficulty of the sea soul master, but even the punishment is only to expel from the island, but the land soul master like the two is different, failure is likely to mean losing life, so I persuaded the two not to go to the island."
Hearing the other party's words, Huo Yuhao showed a hint of a smile.
"Thank you Uncle for reminding us, but since the two of us have decided to go, we won't back down, and please take us with us."
Just kidding, with the strength of the two of them, what kind of test can make them unable to pass?
"Well, well, I wish you two a good time."
Two days passed, and the two of them could already see a small black spot not far away, although it was a black spot, but according to Huo Yuhao's eyes, it was four hundred miles.
But just then, the man sailed the boat to a small, seemingly inconspicuous nearby island.
It's a small island, but it's all lifted, and it's so small that there's only a small house on it, and there's nothing else.
The man turned back to Huo Yuhao and explained.
"The area in front is the area where the island guardian soul beasts of Poseidon Island live, ships will be attacked when they enter it, this small island is the place where Poseidon Island is used to exchange supplies, I can only send the two of them here."
"It's enough to send it here, thank you, uncle."
Huo Yuhao nodded, looked at Gu Yuena on the side, and asked softly.
"How's your injury? Can it fly? ”
"Not yet."
“.”
Although he had expected the other party to say this, looking at that calm appearance, Huo Yuhao always felt that something was wrong, and picked up the other party by the waist with ease, Gu Yuena also behaved very obediently, and consciously put her hands around his neck.
It's just that compared to the previous times, this time Huo Yuhao obviously felt that the hands around his neck seemed to be a little tighter, and the distance between the heads of the two was extremely close.
The breeze blew, and the silver-white hair playfully brushed Huo Yuhao's face, in addition to the fragrance like a faint orchid, he could even directly feel the other party's snort.
"What's wrong? Since they all told the uncle that they were lovers, if they behaved too distant, they would be exposed, wouldn't they? ”
The soft lips opened slightly, but the ethereal voice only sounded in Huo Yuhao's ears, and the warm breath that appeared with the words hit Huo Yuhao's cheeks directly, making his body a little stiff, but he couldn't refute it.
I had to turn my head to look at the man with my aunt's smile on his face, and coughed lightly.
"That old man, say goodbye, I hope to see you again in the future."
"Two benefactors, goodbye."
Ice-white dragon wings spread behind them, and the two of them quickly rose into the air and flew towards the island in the distance.
Along the way, Huo Yuhao also saw the soul beast that the man said about protecting the island.
It was a gray-white shark, generally between ten and twenty meters in length, compared to the strange-shaped sea soul beasts I had seen in the offshore before, the appearance of this soul beast was very high.
"Demon Soul Jaws"
The sharks also obviously noticed the two people flying in the sky, but judging from the eyes that exuded innocence, the IQ didn't seem to be very high.
Without paying much attention to them, as the two of them got closer and closer to the island, they finally saw the island in its entirety.
The whole island is in a circular shape, and the hollow in the middle is filled with sparkling water, and in the middle of this water, an island with a height of 500 meters stands quietly, and at the top of the island there is a quaint building that seems to be made of white jade, which looks very sacred.
"The smell of the gods is strongest there."
Looking at the white building, Gu Yuena spoke softly.
"That's the real place of inheritance. When we arrive, let's go down first. ”
"Hmm."
