"Asshole! Why would that guy suddenly want to go there!"
Neptune, who was originally discussing with Jinbei how to send Li Ke away, exploded when he heard the mermaid's report, and flew up the table in front of him.
He has been depressed due to the death of his late wife Otohime in the past few years, so he lives here away from the crowd, just to be able to watch the Umi no Mori where his wife is buried in his free time.
If Li Ke is only after money or the power of the fishmen, as long as Li Ke is not the kind of truly evil person who wants to drive the fishmen to a dead end, he can kill Jinbei and Hua Jianbisi with just one slap. He wouldn't say much about the strength of the tower flying and the ability to watch the pressure of the deep sea enter the Fish-Man Island.
After all, it is a fact that Fish-Man Island is not strong enough. They can only survive in the cracks. Sometimes there is no way to sacrifice dignity for tomorrow.
But Princess Otohime was different. She was a woman who tried her best to make the fish-men who had always hated humans believe that humans could live with them. She was a woman who wanted to forget her hatred even after being killed by humans.
If they want to watch people like Princess Otohime being insulted after death, then they really have nothing.
"Calm down! Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!"
Jinbe tried to stop Neptune who rushed out, but failed.
This is not because he is unwilling to fight Li Ke for the sake of justice, but Jinbei thinks more: no matter what kind of suffering she suffered during her lifetime, Princess Otohime was determined to make the people of Fishman Island give up their hatred of humans. With the hope of living on land one day in the future.
Because for fishmen, Fishman Island is really too small.
Although Fish-Man Island is very big, it is as big as several cities that Li Ke has seen. In this huge bubble, the fish-people make full use of all the space, making Fish-Man Island just like Like a fairy tale.
But it also illustrates one thing.
There are very few places on Fish-Man Island where civilization can develop.
Although fish people cannot live without water, they must be in the air when developing civilization and farming. The reason why they live in bubbles is because they also need sunlight and air without water. And everything they need in life requires a place without water.
Clothes need a dry place to dye, iron needs to be smelted with fire, and food is most delicious when cooked with fire. All civilizations are inseparable from larger space.
Princess Otohime is a very smart person. She sees clearly that only a small number of fish-men are actually persecuted by humans. Most of the fish-men's hatred is expressed by the people around them.
Children listen to what adults tell them, and adults listen to what bigger people tell them when they are young. Although there are indeed pirates and slave hunters who come to catch them for profit, in fact these people are really only a minority. They have not been persecuted by humans, but they are the majority who hate humans.
Otohime also grew up in this environment, and she also knows the pain, but she knows one thing better.
If the fish people want to have a future, they must put aside their hatred of humans and go to land.
There is no such thing as being safe by hiding there. As humans become more and more powerful, the location of Fish-Man Island becomes more and more exposed, and the number of Fish-Man outside becomes increasingly rare.
So even if the fish-man is ten thousand meters under the sea, he can't stop the greedy people. And even among the fishmen, there are many money-grubbing guys who take advantage of the beauty and rarity of mermaids and become human traffickers to make money.
All this is because of the rarity of fishmen, and because valuable things are useless no matter where you hide.
And what if Murlocs are no longer rare? It is known to most people that the fish-men are beyond the physical capabilities of humans, and are the fish-men also acting together with humans? What if the mermaid becomes your neighbor, your playmate, or even your lover?
And the reason why the fishmen are weak and unable to resist humans is because they can only survive in such a small place? Of course, it is not impossible for big people to appear in small places, but in larger places, impressive people are always more likely to appear.
Fish-Man Island is indeed beautiful, but if they want to truly avoid being persecuted, they must go out, understand humans, live with humans, and truly understand the world they live in.
Just hiding in the dark, 10,000-meter seabed and hating humans will never change this situation, and the fishmen will never be able to get out of their weakness.
Princess Otohime understands this very well, and understands that in order to truly eliminate the discrimination and hatred between fish and humans, someone must be willing to let go of hatred and take a step forward.
She was indeed almost successful. She even used her own beliefs to influence a Celestial Dragon who Li Ke regarded as incombustible garbage, and enlightened a Celestial Dragon who was never an option for him, so that this Celestial Dragon was willing to help them build a country on land.
But it's a pity that she fell into the murloc's resentment towards humans.
And the murderer...
It was Hody who was easily promoted by Li Ke, the guy who used his own life to make him hostile to the fishmen here.
For Jinbei, no matter how many hardships he suffered during this period, how much humiliation he suffered, as long as one day he can make the fishman look like Princess Otohime expected and be able to truly live in the sun, he can shoulder everything .
"What a great man."
Looking at Princess Otohime's epitaph and listening to the mermaid beside her telling her experience, Li Ke, standing in front of her grave, was filled with sighs. The action initiated by the other party towards land is very simple, which is to collect the signatures of the fish people, and then use the signatures of the Celestial Dragons to get the world government to help them.
This seems to be a joke, but in fact it is not. Even if it is for their own face and the purpose of winning over the murlocs, as long as the murlocs can really convey their thoughts, there is a high probability that they will do so.
Because as long as the fish-man island is placed in the new world, a strong army can be created out of thin air to deal with the pirates, without them being responsible for anything, and they can even get more fish-man slaves. In order to ensure their legal right to live on land, the fishmen must stand unswervingly with the World Government.
It can be said that as long as there are no special reasons, it is impossible for the world government to disagree.
And people like Princess Otohime would never think of this, but considering the situation of this world, her approach is the most correct, but it is too difficult.
And if her plan is implemented as promised, her reputation will definitely be destroyed in a short time, because the period of time when the fish people are developing under the sun will be the most difficult time for the fish-man island to gain a foothold in the sun.
Slave-catching teams, malicious nobles and businessmen, humans who discriminate against them, pirates who wantonly plunder, and a world government that exploits endlessly...
At least two or three generations will grow up with the sound of cursing her. Only when fish-men spread throughout the world will she be regarded as a hero and great person again.
But obviously, the princess didn't care about such things at all, otherwise she wouldn't have been thinking about making her people forget their hatred when she was killed.
It would be too rude to simply think that she is a stupid Madonna.
Li Ke looked at this cemetery and more or less understood the reason why the will of the world was not willing to release his holy light, and why his holy light could not be suppressed in this world.
If the kind people in this world are allowed to come into contact with the Holy Light, a collection of positive energy that has great brainwashing ability, then this world...
It will be destroyed.
That is a powerful force that Li Ke himself cannot control, and the most terrifying thing is that whether it is shadow or holy light, when your actions are controlled by these two forces, you will still feel that it is your own idea, and you will feel that it is your own idea. Be steadfast.
"Yes, Princess Otohime is a great person. We have never doubted that she will be able to understand and live with humans after she takes us to land."
The mermaid who brought him here naturally didn't know what Li Ke was feeling. All she could feel was that Princess Otohime was great. She sacrificed her life to make their living environment better, and moved everyone with her sincerity. Fishman.
But she may not know much about what Otohime saw.
"Yes, but I also believe that if she had succeeded at that time, you would no longer praise her now, but would hate her for bringing you to land."
Li Ke's powerful sense of knowledge penetrated the sea water and soil and saw Otohime's coffin buried deep in the earth. Although this coffin is very tight and has the best protection. But a dead person is a dead person after all, and the Princess Otohime that Li Ke saw was already a piece of white bones.
If such a corpse wants to be resurrected, it will consume a lot of vitality, which makes Li Ke feel a little pained. And his words also successfully angered the mermaid around him.
"How is that possible! You can humiliate me! But you cannot humiliate Princess Otohime! Although I am a dancer and prostitute, I will not allow you to be disrespectful to Princess Otohime!"
The angry mermaid threw away Li Ke's arm. She remembered clearly that Princess Otohime was the only one who felt sad and remorseful about them selling their bodies to make money from human pirates. It was also because of her education and leadership that the living environment of these fish-men, who had become homeless from Xiaojie, improved.
She will never forget the scene where she looked at the other person with contempt, but the other person looked at her with tender eyes like a mother, but cried bitterly after seeing the scars she got from the guests.
"Oh, you are a good woman, but it's a pity that you are a bit stupid."
Li Ke couldn't help but laugh. He had no prejudice against dancers in this world. It was too difficult to survive in this world. Talented people like Nami are in the minority after all. They don’t have enough physical work, a family fortune and women to rely on. They want to make a living in this troubled world...
That's why he won't discriminate against the mermaid in front of him. Even though the other person's job is so-called low-level, she is not willing to do it. Fate has brought her to this place, but she has regained her soul, right?
Li Ke has always believed that the word "shabby shoes" can only describe those guys who have self-awareness but are still indulgent, rather than people who are forced by fate and environment.
And although Fishman Island looks very wealthy, Li Ke can guarantee that their productivity will never increase. This place is too small, so small that many industries cannot be carried out by fishmen themselves and can only rely on humans.
That's why Li Ke wanted to use trade to bring Fish-Man Island to his side, because they were really in need.
"You lack too much power. Princess Otohime's goal is to bear the humiliation and develop first, waiting for the fishmen to broaden their horizons and grow slowly. Because you lack enough power, if you have one who can compete with the Four Emperors and has the will If you are a determined tribesman, your situation will have been improved a long time ago."
Otohime's goals and ideas were correct, but unfortunately she died at the hands of a killer. If she had a companion who was strong enough and recognized her, then this woman would definitely be able to change the pattern of the world.
It can only be said to be a pity.
but……
Such a person deserves to endure the pain of almost death and be resurrected.
Li Ke casually flicked the mermaid around him away, letting her fall safely to the side. After all, what happened next would probably be unacceptable to her.
Seeing Li Ke flicking the mermaid away, Rebecca above Li Ke also had a bad premonition. However, before she could ask anything, she saw Li Ke pulling out Princess Otohime's tombstone with one paw.
"Master Li Li Li Ke, what are you doing!!"
Rebecca covered her face and screamed. She was in disbelief as she watched a good person she knew do such a thing. It was estimated that she was also moved by Princess Otohime's struggle.
However, Li Ke didn't answer him. He directly used his claws to lift away the soil covering Otohime's coffin. In the angry and horrified eyes of the mermaid, he smashed Princess Otohime's coffin with one claw, revealing the remains of Princess Otohime's coffin that morning. A corpse that was already skeletal.
"I am going to kill you!!"
The unknown mermaid pulled out the short knife from her waist, ignored the difference in strength between the two sides, and rushed towards Li Ke. However, Li Ke ignored her at all, and did not use his domineering defense, but allowed the other party to pierce his body with a knife.
Yes, this mermaid's knife broke Li Ke's defense, because her tears adhered to her blade and broke Li Ke's dragon scales.
The dragon's blood bloomed in the sea water. When the mermaid herself was surprised that she could break through Li Ke's defense, a dazzling light appeared in the depths of the sea.
At this time, King Neptune had just arrived and saw the situation clearly.
"You bastard!!"
The trident in his hand was thrown towards Li Ke without any suspense, but unfortunately, although Li Ke still had no defense, his extremely sharp trident did not break through Li Ke like a dancer's knife. The dragon scales instead splashed a spark on Li Ke's body, and then flew out.
It's just that he didn't come alone. The eldest prince Shark Star, the second prince Huang Xing whom Li Ke had never met, and the third prince Kai Xing all came. They all looked at Li Ke with red eyes, and waved their weapons and rushed towards Li Ke.
Even in Li Ke's perception, a figure as huge as himself came quickly, but he was a little confused that the huge figure coming behind seemed to be crying.
"Fortunately, the consumption is not big...but the physical fitness of Princess Otohime is too poor, right?"
Looking at the angry King Neptune, Li Ke looked at the petite body of Otohime in his hands, and suddenly had the urge to call the police.
Although King Neptune is not as big as him, he is probably twelve meters tall, and the Otohime in his hand seems to be only two meters long. Calculating according to the proportion...
"Forget it, there are too many mysteries in this world, I'd better not think too much about it."
Shaking his head, Li Ke activated his resurrection power. He had tried to find out before that the cost of resurrection was not very high, but when he actually started to resurrect, he felt that his body was rapidly losing activity.
His body involuntarily became hundreds of meters tall, knocking everything around him away, but then a magical force began to extract the life force from his body, causing him to wail in pain.
Part of the extracted life force gathered on Otohime's body, causing her body to slowly change back to the way it was before she was alive in the light.
But more of it flowed into the void. Li Ke, who was in so much pain that he was almost unconscious, could vaguely feel that his life force was disturbing the rules of the world. It's not a challenge, it's about triggering the rules and guiding them in the direction you want.
The dragon's body, which was hundreds of meters long, shrank rapidly from its original length of nearly two hundred meters. Under the astonished eyes of Neptune and others, Li Ke's mighty body quickly turned into decaying fragments. crumbs and then dispersed with the sea.
But correspondingly, the figures in the light became clearer and clearer. The aura of the people they were once very familiar with but had once lost slowly returned to their perception.
"This is……"
As Princess Otohime's eyelids twitched, Li Ke also felt that the resurrection had reached the most critical point. He felt that suddenly this bastard ritual had sucked out a lot of life force. His perception collided with the 'rules' in the void, and then a flame bloomed on Princess Otohime, whose soul had returned to her body.
"...Light...the fire of life?"
Li Ke didn't know what the flame was, and he could only think of this word. It was at the moment when the flame was ignited that Princess Otohime opened her eyes, and hugged her with tears in her eyes. The families who came.
The three princes and the king put down their weapons, and their daughter who was hiding in the distance also ran towards them. The dancer who misunderstood Li Ke burst into tears, and Rebecca, who knew that she had made a false alarm, couldn't help but blame herself.
As for Li Ke?
He lay dead on one side.
Freed from the pain, Li Ke felt his empty dragon body. He knew clearly that he would not be able to transform into a 100-meter dragon within two months, and he also temporarily lost the ability to spit out golden beams. He said that during this period, his combat effectiveness was basically reduced by three-quarters.
And what she got for such powerful strength and vitality was a delicate and frail woman. This ratio was really outrageous.
However, it was exactly as he thought. Resurrecting Otohime would not cause him to lose all his combat power. It would only make him stronger than the general, and he would not be able to crush him with an absolute advantage. The problem was not that serious. big. As long as you eat and drink for a month or two, your vitality will be restored.
Just thinking about having to endure such pain again in a while, so that Li Ke, who would definitely be angry at Nokigao and Nami, would calm down, felt that his life was getting darker and darker.
Because if he had a choice, he really didn't want to do it again.
