"That's the way it is." Arthur explained to his father.
Thomas was a little confused as he looked at the group of beauties following Arthur. To be honest, even Thomas, a peerless lover, was a little dazzled by the sight of these beauties. What's worse is that these people discovered something special about Arthur!
Thomas wasn't sure whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. But after all, others didn't have any ill intentions, so Thomas didn't reject them thousands of miles away. Then Thomas was annoyed to death by Angel. This little girl probably had a bit of a superhero plot, and she kept pestering Arthur with questions. When Arthur ignored her, she pestered Thomas.
"Uncle Thomas, do you also have superpowers? Arthur's superpowers are inherited from you, right? If that's the case...according to blood relationship, can I also have superpowers?! Ah! So awesome!! !”
Seeing Angel alone and excited, Thomas was also embarrassed. He knew that his son was not a mutant, he was the son of Atlantis. And his bloodline has no superpowers at all, so Angel's hope is destined to become a delusion.
Just when Angel was pestering Thomas to ask this and that, Arthur suddenly raised his head and looked at the sea.
Kai and Diana did the same thing.
Soon a whale shark broke out of the sea with a man standing on it.
Diana was the first to react: "Atlanteans!"
When Thomas heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Diana. It was the first time he heard this term from an outsider. In the past, when people talked about Atlantis, they thought it was a legend. Only Thomas knew that it was not a legend. Atlantis really existed, deep in the Atlantic Ocean!
Of course Diana could recognize the Atlanteans.
Since the age of the gods, Amazons and Atlanteans have had contacts because they are the only two peoples blessed by the gods.
Amazons were blessed by the gods, and were especially loved by the goddesses among the Olympian gods, especially Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and Hera, the queen of the gods. They were especially fond of these female warriors.
Atlantis was loved by Poseidon, the god of the sea. You know, Poseidon even placed his palace in Atlantis. Perhaps among all the gods, Poseidon is the most 'people-friendly'. He truly regarded Atlantis as his own people.
It is also because of this that although the Amazons and Atlantis are essentially human beings, they are very different from ordinary people because of their gods.
Once upon a time, the Amazons and Atlantis maintained a considerable degree of contact, but as time went by, this contact became less and less. Up to now, there is basically no contact. The reasons are very complicated, including cultural, living habits and religious reasons. But Diana could still easily tell that the person in the distance was an Atlantean.
On the sea, Nudis Vico also stood on the whale shark, looking at the lighthouse from a distance.
Nudis Vico wouldn't want to get anywhere near this if he could help it.
It was here that Nudis Vico, the loyal monarch and the Queen of Atlantis, violated the laws of Atlantis and married a land human to give birth to Arthur. This resulted in Her Majesty being executed with the most cruel punishment.
Nudis Vico is the royal advisor and warrior commander of the Kingdom of Atlantis, a position somewhat similar to the Minister of Defense.
Nudis Vico was freed by his own queen before she was sacrificed, allowing him to teach Arthur how to become a true Atlantean warrior.
Nudis Vico did not like Arthur, and it was his presence that led to the queen's sacrifice. But the queen's last request made him unable to ignore it.
Over the years, Nudis Vico has been secretly teaching Arthur how to use his powers.
To be honest, Arthur is indeed excellent. He has all the advantages of the Atlantis royal family. Unlike human society, Atlantis pays great attention to bloodline. It is not like humans who just made up the theory of bloodline superiority and inferiority purely for the legitimacy of rule. Among the Atlanteans, royal bloodline is naturally important. Much stronger than ordinary Atlanteans.
Among the seven kingdoms under the sea today, all the royal families are descended from the royal family of the original Atlantis Empire.
Take their kingdom of Atlantis as an example. The royal members possess powers that are beyond the reach of ordinary Atlanteans. They can easily manipulate the water flow to fight for themselves, and they can easily emit sound waves to tame the wildest sea beasts. , their bodies are extremely tough, and even the sharpest blade cannot easily break their skin. In short, blood brings many benefits. The purer the bloodline, the stronger the power it can exert. This is why Atlantis cares so much about blood.
And Arthur is the best among this generation of royal members. He is so good that he doesn't look like a mixed race!
Even to a certain extent, he is better than those royal families with pure blood.
Because Atlantis lived in the water, they couldn't stay out of the water for too long anyway. But Arthur has no worries in this regard. He can live on the shore for a long time like a normal human being.
And it is this kind of excellence that makes Nudis Vico always work hard to cover up Arthur's existence.
No Atlantean would accept a barbarian hybrid as superior to a royal pureblood.
In the past thirty years, he had always done an outstanding job. Although the royal family knew that such a mixed-race existed, they did not know where he was, and they were not sure whether he was still alive.
But just yesterday, he couldn't hide it anymore.
The current King of Atlantis and the second child of former Queen Atlanna, Orm Marius. I know Arthur exists!
It was also because of this that Nudis Vico came to the lighthouse to warn him at all costs.
Arthur saw Vico. Although he was surprised, he still felt very happy.
In fact, over the years, Arthur has had some guesses about Vico's identity. But he wasn't interested in Atlantis. So I never asked anything. He simply regarded Vic as his teacher.
It's not like he never thought of introducing his teacher to his father.
But Vico has always asked Arthur to strictly keep secrets and not reveal everything about him.
Unexpectedly, the teacher came here today.
This made Arthur very happy.
Soon Vico came to the lighthouse, and Thomas looked at Vico warily. The man who walked out of the sea last time took his wife away... He didn't want his child to encounter such a bad luck again.
Vico turns a blind eye to Tomas and would even kill the man if he could.
"Vico! Why are you here!"
Vico said to his disciple with a cold face: "I'm here to warn you, Arthur."
"warn?"
Arthur didn't understand.
"Yes, they have noticed your presence. You must leave now. Otherwise, they will not give up. You immediately go to the depths of the continent and never return to the seaside." Vico did not mince words, but was straightforward. asked Arthur to leave immediately.
"Why?" Arthur is not stupid. He can probably guess who is going to deal with him: "I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to live a quiet life. I won't affect them!"
He did not know that his mother was dead. This was the request of his mother, Atlanna, who did not want her son to hate his country and its people. So until now, Arthur has always felt that it was his irresponsible mother's remarriage partner who wanted to deal with him.
He apparently didn't realize that this was more than a simple family conflict.
"No, Arthur, your very existence is a problem."
"So...he is a hybrid of Atlantis and humans?" Diana suddenly interjected and asked.
Vico's face turned ugly. Even though Vico could look at Arthur's existence in a different light because of his relationship with the Queen, he was still unhappy with the words "mixed blood".
"Woman! Watch your words! You are humiliating the great Atlantis!"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, and then said with a strange expression: "Humiliation..."
His presence was actually a humiliation.
This was the first time he knew that his teacher was actually a racist.
"It's you who should be careful with your words! People of Atlantis, standing in front of you is Diana of Paradise Island! The future queen of the Amazons!" Diana will not spoil anyone, even if Kai talks nonsense, she will also fight past. Not to mention an Atlantean.
"Amazon..." Vico really didn't expect that he would meet an Amazon who came to Paradise Island.
Paradise Island is a good place. There is a barrier guarded by the gods. The Amazons living there can live forever and never need to worry about hunger and disease. If there is anywhere in this world that is closest to the mythical paradise, it can only be there. .
Atlantis is much worse in this regard, because they are...in the water.
The Atlanteans did not originally live in the water, although they did love the ocean and strictly followed the teachings of Poseidon. But in the beginning they were indeed land creatures. It was only because of an accident that it became what it is now.
But the Atlanteans still looked down upon the Amazons.
In their view, those women with a little bit of brains are all barbarians, wantonly squandering the gifts of the gods. Look at those women. Ten thousand years ago, these women fought with spears and swords. Ten thousand years later, these women still held spears and swords.
What the hell is this not a savage?
Unlike Atlantis, which is full of science and technology, relying on the gifts of the gods, it has developed into the most powerful and splendid civilization in the world!
So he didn't take Diana's threat to heart.
If the current Atlantis can't defeat a group of female savages armed with spears and swords... then it might as well just perish!
"I'm very sorry, Your Highness the Amazon Princess. I apologize for my gaffe." However, out of the 'courtesy' of a civilized person, Vico apologized. But very perfunctory. Of course Diana was unhappy and wanted to teach the old man a lesson, but Kai stopped her. Why are they getting involved?
Then he turned around and persuaded Arthur to leave quickly.
Of course Arthur disagrees.
The two started to quarrel.
Kelly seemed interested in watching the whole thing, and so did Angel.
Only Catherine didn't care much about it. Instead, she noticed the strange expression on Kai's face.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I suddenly remembered that I lived in Atlantis for a while. Well, it was still on the sea at that time. It's a very nice place. By the way, I have a close relationship with the Fisher King of Atlantis. Yes, he also gave me a natural coral crown.”
Kai did think of the past.
Ten thousand years ago, Atlantis was indeed a wonderful place, even better than Athens and the Sumerian city of Uruk.
It is full of humanistic atmosphere. The people like knowledge, they love the ocean, and they also pay attention to balance. They may be the first nation on the planet to pay attention to environmental protection. Of course, it is not without its shortcomings. Their biggest drawback is...it tastes too salty!
You must know that Kai was from Jingchu in his previous life. People in Jingchu originally liked salty aromas, which were considered to have a strong taste, but people from Atlantis simply treated salt as if it was free of charge.
Well, they are definitely salty when it comes to eating tofu pudding.
For Kai, sweet party is the right way! Fortunately, there were no soybeans in Atlantis at that time, so there was no tofu, so there was no dispute.
Anyway, it’s full of memories!
"By the way, we seemed to have fought with the Atlanteans back then. Do you still remember the King of Atlantis, right?"
Kai didn't pay attention to the name of the King of Atlantis at the time and completely forgot about it.
Catherine also recalled it and thought: "Pontos."
"Yes! Pontos!"
Kai finally remembered the man's name.
"By the way, his daughter's name is Atlanna, right."
Catherine looked over with a half-smile: "Why do you remember her daughter's name?"
"Well...after all, beautiful women always give people extra memory points, right?"
"I feel really sad for Pontos. After all, he can be considered a comrade-in-arms. But in the end, his presence is not as high as his beautiful daughter."
Kai smiled and didn't deny it.
The argument on that side was also getting heated, and Arthur didn't want to be like a coward and run away at the slightest sign of trouble. Vico thought that Arthur had no idea what was going on.
"Om will not let you go! Do you understand or not! Because you and your father killed his mother!"
Vico roared.
Arthur was stunned.
"What?! Atlanna...is dead?!" Before Arthur could react, Thomas grabbed Vico: "What did you just say?!"
Thomas has only had contact with one Atlanta woman in his life, and that is Arthur's mother, Atlanta.
"Yes!" Vico grabbed Thomas by the neck and lifted him up: "It's because of you! My queen was sacrificed to the Trench tribe! If it weren't for your ignorance and deception, the queen should be ruling Wanli now. Wave! Instead of being eaten alive by a group of savage monsters! You are the culprit of everything!"
Arthur immediately rushed to rescue his father.
I was also confused at the same time.
He always felt that his mother was just...irresponsible, but he didn't expect...she was already dead. Or because of her love with her father and her birth.
"Om has always hated you! He hated you for killing his mother. He has always regarded this past event as a shame!"
Back then, Atlanna escaped from Atlantis because she wanted to avoid a political marriage. As a result, she was unlucky enough to meet the Trench Tribe and was injured. Then she was rescued by Thomas. Later they fell in love and gave birth to Arthur.
After being captured, Atlanna married Ovacs Marius, the royal guard chief. The Marius family is also a family with a long history and a distant branch of the royal family. The royal family of Atlantis relied on this kind of marriage to consolidate power and keep their bloodline pure.
But Atlanna did not love Orvax, which made the loyal captain of the guard feel extremely sad. He once tried to make Atlanna admit the mistakes she had made and clear up the disgraceful evidence. ', thereby saving Atlanna's life... But Atlanna refused, and directly told Ovacs that she had no regrets. The years on the shore were her happiest time, and then the captain of the guard His mentality completely collapsed, and he died shortly after Atlanna was sacrificed.
Otherwise, Orm hates Arthur and Thomas.
This is the hatred of breaking up a family!
Vico knew that he had said too much, but it was already like this, so he might as well just say it all.
"Orm's soldiers will be here soon. You can't be their opponent."
Arthur is strong, but he can't be stronger than an entire army!
At this moment Kai interrupted: "You're too late. It seems someone is coming."
