"Have you really decided?" Early the next morning, a group of people gathered in front of the deep pool in the cave. Atlanna asked Arthur with a serious face.
Arthur nodded firmly.
"Only in this way can the war be eliminated! So no matter what, I will try!"
Kai and Mela stood aside in silence. Kai is indifferent. He felt that there must be other exits in the inner earth world. At most, it would take a little time to find an exit. Mela supported Arthur's adventure, after all, she was also trapped here.
"Arthur... you must be careful. Karason... it is too powerful. I have tried many times over the years. There are the bones of countless warriors there, all in pursuit of the Neptune Trident."
"Maybe I can go down and help Arthur." Mela said from the side: "It's always good to have a helper."
"No! It's not that simple, Mela." Atlanna stopped her: "Karason will only allow the true king to pass."
Meila's expression suddenly became obscure. The real king... Is this a mockery of their royal family, the Zebel family, for not being the real royal family of Atlantis? She knew that Atlanna didn't mean to look down on her, but it was this sincere opinion that made Mela feel hurt.
Arthur looked at his mother and Kai a little helplessly.
He was really nervous.
"Are you scared?" Atlanna asked.
Arthur nodded slightly: "Yes."
Like a high school graduate leaving home for the first time to go to college.
"Very well, Arthur, stay respectful. This is very useful." Atlanna was very satisfied. In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, awe is the best teacher. It can keep Arthur calm and vigilant, instead of rushing in recklessly and leaving no trace of his body.
Arthur nodded, gritted his teeth, and plunged into the deep pool.
Watching Arthur disappear into the water, Kay said: "You should not let Arthur refuse my help, Atlanna."
Atlanna retracted her worried eyes and said firmly: "Arthur...he is better than I thought. He must rely on his own strength to be recognized by Karason. Only in this way can he truly gain the recognition of his ancestors." Approved, get Neptune’s Trident.”
Kai had indeed planned to lend Arthur some treasures before this. For example, the seven-fold circle covered by the blazing sky was a gift from Athena to Kai. The shield of God was made by Hephaestus, the god of fire. It was made of six layers of divine cowhide and one layer of bronze. The sacred cow hide is said to have been ripped off by Hera after Zeus transformed into a sacred cow and kidnapped Princess Europa.
This treasure has extremely strong protective capabilities. The only drawback is that it requires a lot of magic power to activate.
Arthur didn't have it and could only use his life to inspire it.
Although it may make Arthur prematurely grow old, it is better than losing his life.
But Atlanna refused.
"There were many kings in Atlantis, so there was no need for a new one, but Atlantis needed a hero."
Atlanna was different from ordinary Atlanteans. She saw that her people began to indulge in glory and hated change. This made her feel very worried. Humanity has undergone earth-shaking changes. Atlanna feels that if Atlantis continues to be so conservative and closed, it will eventually be eliminated by the world. They need to go out of the sea to connect with relatives on the surface.
Kai was surprised that Atlanna had such an awareness. Moreover, Kai also feels that the earth today does need a civilization like Atlantis. After all, the earth will face countless crises in the future.
…
As the water level gets deeper and deeper, the surrounding light gradually disappears, and the surrounding water becomes quieter and quieter, just like a pool of stagnant water.
The deeper he went, the more Arthur could feel the dead silence around him, and he even felt that the connection between himself and the sea was getting weaker and weaker. I don't know how long it took, but Arthur finally saw the bottom. At this time, there were a lot of glowing seaweed around him.
These glowing seaweeds give the seabed some light.
The bottom of the sea is a piece of ruins with no end in sight, and Arthur can also see many huge ancient Greek-style rock footings.
This should be an abandoned city.
The city is lifeless except for the glowing seaweed floating slowly on the ocean floor. Arthur carefully swam in the city, his nerves tense. He roughly saw the layout of the city from above. It was a standard symmetrical layout. In the center of the city, there was a huge temple and palace complex.
While he was alert to possible dangers in the city, he slowly moved towards the center of the city.
But he didn't encounter any trouble along the way. Until he came to the entrance of the palace in the center.
There is a very long staircase with thousands of steps. Standing in front of the staircase and looking up, you feel as if you are under a big mountain. The dilapidated and collapsed palace is still majestic and unusual. You can imagine that this palace was still there back then. How spectacular it is when intact.
Underneath this daunting scene, there was also a scene that made Arthur shudder.
Bones!
It seems like endless corpses.
It extends from the stairs into the palace.
Among these bones were bones that looked very human. Arthur guessed that these might be the ancestors of the Kingdom of Atlantis. In order to pursue the scepter of the ancestors, they wanted to unite all the Atlanteans with it. came here. But now... they are all corpses spread on the stairs. Of course, the most numerous ones are the bones of the Trench Clan. Perhaps the Trench Clan has never given up on searching for the Neptune Trident, so for so many years, they have been letting people enter here to get the trident back.
Unfortunately, no one succeeded.
This made Arthur understand what the price of failure would be.
Arthur took a deep breath.
This is not a necessary action. The respiratory system of Atlantis is much more advanced than that of humans. They do not rely heavily on their lungs to breathe, so they rarely take deep breaths. Their skin can do it very well. Gas exchange.
He did this out of habit.
After being mentally prepared, Arthur slowly floated into the palace.
The roof of the palace had collapsed long ago, leaving only some huge decaying pillars. Through the pillars, Arthur stopped.
In front of him, a huge throne stood there.
On the throne, a man was sitting on the throne holding a golden and brilliant golden trident.
If you look closely, you will see that it is a skeleton.
The skeleton is sitting on the throne, and the snow-white hair is still on the skull, floating like seaweed with the current. The skeleton was wearing a green fish scale armor, and the armor was covered with seaweed.
And the most amazing thing is the golden trident.
In the originally dark palace without any light source, the golden trident shone brightly, illuminating everything around it.
The golden trident seemed to be breathing, constantly pulsing and sending out golden ripples around it. These ripples stir the water, making it much more active here than around it.
"Neptune's Trident..."
