Chapter Twenty-Three: The Shocking Plan
The Mermaid King Desaides looked Kaysved up and down, as if to make sure he was in danger. Kaysved smiled bitterly, "You're still the same, always suspicious. ”
Desaidis shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to see if you are still the heroic dragon clan you were back then." ”
Kaisved frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean by this, when have we dragon clans ever been cowardly?"
"It was before, it is now, and the courage of the past does not mean that there is still courage now...... Desaidis babbled, and Kaisvid was a little impatient.
"Okay, okay, I don't have time to catch up with you today, if you have anything to say, just say it. Kaysved interrupted Desaidis as he waved his hand.
Desaidis said with some dissatisfaction: "Hmph, your dragon clan's stinky temper can never be changed. I'm not saying this to catch up with you, I just want to confirm whether the dragons are worthy of my trust!"
Kaysved's face sank, and he said, "Whether our dragons are trustworthy or not, you still need to judge?"
Unmoved, Desaides said: "This matter is very important, and I will never cooperate with him unless it is someone I can trust." ”
Kaisved couldn't help but wonder when he saw DeSaidis so cautious, how big things could make this incomparably stable king seem so cautious, he and the other party had not known each other for a year or two, the two sides had been in contact many times for decades, although they were not good friends, but each other's tempers were still very clear. Today's Desaidis seems somewhat unusual to Kaisvid, and it seems that what he said is indeed very important.
"Well, how are you going to trust me?" said Kaisvid patiently, an extraordinary amount of patience for the dragons.
"I want your son to marry my daughter. Desaidis said very seriously.
"No, I can't. Without even thinking about it, Kaysved flatly refused: "I am a member of the council, and my son will never marry a foreign daughter." ”
"Look, I'll just say you're insincere. Kaysved's answer was expected by Desaidis, who teased, "You are also a pedantic man, and it seems that the destruction of the dragons is inevitable." Even if it's my white **** heart, let's go in again, friend. I hope you cherish the few moments you have left. ”
Kaysved felt that he was about to become angry, the way Desaides spoke was really unpleasant, he couldn't stand the coercion of others, but Desaidis said that the dragons were going to be destroyed, what was going on. Kaisved desperately suppressed his anger, his chest rising and falling violently, and it took a long time for him to gradually calm down. After thinking for a moment, Kaysved sighed, "Are you really going to marry your daughter to Sawan, do you know what the consequences of doing so will be?"
Desaidis's face also showed a painful expression, but his tone was very affirmative: "I don't know the consequences of this, but I only have this one daughter, and I must ensure that she can live safely, otherwise future cooperation will be impossible." ”
Kaysved also saw it, Desaidis didn't know how determined he was to make such a request, as the royal family of the mermaid clan, once he married a foreign clan, I am afraid that even his own people would not be able to tolerate him, and allowing Desaidis to make such a huge sacrifice shows that the truth behind it must be extremely serious, and now even Kaysved himself is starting to feel a little scared.
After weighing it again, Kaysved nodded with difficulty and said, "Well, since this matter is so important, for the sake of the future of the dragon clan, I will agree to your request and let Sawan marry Eliza." Now you can tell me the truth. Kaysved knew very well that once Savan married Eliza, the best outcome would probably be to be expelled from the dragon clan, and he would be considered the head of the council.
When Desaidis heard Kaysved agree to the marriage, a smile finally appeared on his face, and his body suddenly softened as if he had lifted his burden. "Thank you, old friend, I wouldn't have made such a request unless I had to, I know the consequences, but it's also for the good of the children. Desaidis said with some excitement: "I will tell you the matter below, and you will definitely understand my painstaking efforts." ”
"Okay, you can say it. Kaysved nodded.
"You've probably heard that the Shark Dragon Clan sent someone to meet me secretly not long ago, right?" said Desaidis.
Kaysved nodded, this was what Sahain had told him, and Savin had heard about it from Olya, and now it seemed that Desaidis had instructed it, the old slippery head.
Desaides continued, "Actually, that meeting was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of our Mermaid Clan, and he asked me to cooperate with the Shark Dragon Clan on a secret mission. This task is really very conceivable, once it leaks out, it will be a big disaster, and then not only the dragon race, the mermaid race, but the entire ocean world will be difficult to have a peaceful day. ”
"What is the plan?" asked Kaysved, worried.
"His Majesty the Emperor has asked me and my people to support the Shark Dragon Clan and help them refine a medicine capable of producing violent explosions at the bottom of the sea. This medicine can't be made in water, it needs to create a waterless environment at the bottom of the sea, and you know that our merfolk magic can do this. Desaides said.
"The Shark Dragon Clan wants to refine medicines?" Kaysved couldn't believe this, the Shark Dragons couldn't even transform into a human form, with their kind of fish not like ichthyosaurs and dragons, and their little intelligence, it was a complete joke to expect them to refine medicines.
Seeing Kaysvid's look of disbelief, Desaidis smiled bitterly: "Don't say you don't believe it, I couldn't believe it at first, a fool like the Shark Dragon Clan still wants to refine medicines, but later I learned that someone behind the Shark Dragon Clan was guiding them." ”
"Who is it?"
"As far as I know, it should be a human magician, otherwise how could the Shark Dragon Clan refine medicine. Desaidis said seriously.
"Human magicians?" said Kaysved in surprise, "how is this possible? How can a human run to the bottom of the sea?"
De Saidis sneered twice and said: "You are too lonely and unheard, the human civilization on land has changed over the years, of course, they can use the power of magic to come to this underwater world." ”
"Hmph, what if there were human magicians to help the dragons, could it be that my dragons would still be afraid that their explosives would not work?" said Kaysved, unconvinced.
"Hehe, I'm afraid this can't be as you wish, the real purpose of the Shark Dragon Clan is not to deal with the Dragon Clan, but to have more terrifying ambitions. ”
"What is their real purpose?" asked Kaisvid, puzzled.
"You must have heard of the endless abyss at the bottom of the sea, right?"
"The Endless Abyss, of course I've heard of it. ”
"Legend has it that the Endless Abyss is inhabited by demon gods who have survived since ancient times, and the Shark Dragon Clan wants to use these explosive drugs to open the seal of the Endless Abyss and return the demon gods inside to the bottom of the sea. Desaides said quietly.
"What!" Kaysved was really a little frightened this time, are these sharks crazy?
Kaysved raised his voice and asked, "How could your emperor support such a crazy thing?
Desaidis shook his head and said, "You don't know him, he is an ambitious man who dreams day and night of dominating the entire underwater world. He believed that unleashing the ancient demon god would drive the dragons out of the ocean, so that as long as he defeated the shark dragons again, he would be able to dominate the ocean. ”
"How sure can he get the Demon God to do his bidding?" said Kaisvid, a little frustrated.
"I suspect that it is probably a human magician, and I wonder what means that person used to convince our Emperor of this. Speaking of this, Desaides had a look of disdain on his face, he had long been dissatisfied with his emperor.
After listening to Desaidis's words, Kaisvid was speechless for a while, this matter was too shocking, and he needed some time to sort it out. After a long while, he asked slowly, "Desaidis, why are you telling me this, and what is your purpose?"
"What purpose do you think I'm going to do!" Desaidis said with some anger, "Do you think I'm stupid enough to help the Shark Dragon Clan do such a thing? Once the Ancient Demon God is really released, no one will be spared, but the strength of my clan alone cannot resist the pressure from the Emperor and the Shark Dragon Clan at the same time, so I need your Dragon Clan to fight side by side with us." ”
"So you want to use Eliza and Savan's marriage as a guarantee of cooperation?"
"That's just one thing, on the other hand, I'm well aware of your dragons' rules, and I know that once Eliza and Sawan marry, Sawin will likely be banished, and that's exactly what I want. I hope that Samin will take Eliza away, preferably on land, and if we fail, at least Samin and Eliza will survive. The more Desaidis spoke, the more emotional he became, and every word struck Kaysved's heart.
"Can you let me think about it again?" said Kaisved bitterly.
"Of course, but I warn you that time is running out. Desaides said.
Kaysved said with a sad face, "I know, I'll get back to you as soon as possible." ”
