Atlantis, the Great Library of the Royal City.
Ellie stood in front of the bookshelf somewhat uneasily, holding miscellaneous books in her hands to conceal her true purpose. She lowered her head and thought about the current situation in Atlantis and her plan.
it's all over.
This is the strongest opinion in Ellie's mind. The results of the battle on land have been transmitted here. They have successfully suppressed Atlantis, which has joined forces with other forces, without any help from them.
Although this is not the best result, it is actually much better than what Ellie was initially worried about. At the beginning, she was actually worried that the reckless behavior of Atlantis and the Three Wise Kings would bring trouble to her hometown. It's her father's view that disaster will come, and it was also what he said when he went to meet the three wise kings.
As a senior pre-war spy who had been undercover on land for decades and led this plan, he finally came to the conclusion after so many years of undercover experience that Atlantis should not go to war with land. Civilization on land is far away. It was stronger than they imagined, and he was sure that these land people must be actively hiding their abnormal power and technological level for some strange reasons.
But the result of his meeting with the kings was that he was imprisoned. He certainly did not expect that he would encounter such a situation when he went to meet them. In his opinion, he was very likely to convince the three wise kings, and this was natural It's because what he said is indeed true.
But maybe the problem of the Deep Trench Sea Tribe is too urgent, or maybe they really think that their father said this just because of their mother, and in the end they not only rejected him, but also imprisoned him. You must know that this can only be done by a person. The reason - they didn't want their father to spread the news that the war might be lost.
If he just rejected him, he wouldn't have to do so much. This also means that the Three Sage Kings must feel that the information their father possesses may indeed affect the judgment of other royal families. Deep down in their hearts, they may even feel that what their father says is reasonable. .
But they finally chose to try to go to war with the Federation, which almost plunged Ellie into despair at the time.
The current situation is that their war plan did not succeed. The Federation stopped Atlantis before they took action. Although Ellie, as an Atlantean, hopes that they will win, this is better than what both sides originally wanted. It's much better to have a serious war.
Then there's only one problem left - her imprisoned father.
Logically speaking, Atlantis can't attack the land now, so there seems to be no reason for him to continue to be imprisoned. But things are obviously not that simple. The new prince will take office in two months, and now he can There is no place for him.
These circumstances can clearly show that the Three Wise Kings will not let her father regain his freedom in the short term, and may even be executed when the new prince takes office. In other words, for her, she has everything these days. No change.
Atlantis didn't go to destruction, nor was it given a chance, and she didn't rescue her father.
And her original plan to use that mysterious organization to rescue her father did not go well. She originally planned to steal the artifact when the royal family awakened it, and use its power to forcefully rescue her father.
But just when she was about to do this, Milod of the Furious Sea, who would not have appeared originally, appeared in the temple. And looking back now, he may have appeared in the temple because he cared about her, and it was this concern. Let yourself fail to save your father in the end.
so funny.
"Ellie." A low male voice came from behind her, "I'm here."
Ellie turned around and looked at the young royal family member who was walking towards her. It was Walkers who had greeted her at the temple.
Vox walked quickly towards Ellie with an excited expression:
"I actually didn't expect that you would take the initiative to call me out, and in a place like the library."
Ellie looked at him seriously and said:
"You should have heard about what happened two months later."
When Walkers heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and then he comforted her in a low voice:
"Well, I heard that, but I think your father might not know yet..."
Ellie shook her head gently and said:
"It's okay, don't comfort me. We all know the traditions of Atlantis. Maybe they will give my father a break, but the possibility is slim. Putting hope on this is just deceiving yourself."
Vox also lowered his head, not knowing what to say:
"Ellie..."
Ellie said as if looking for the last straw:
"The blood sea scepter was used in previous rituals. I heard that it was taken to participate in the war by the sun god some time ago?"
The Sun God who was dueling for them at that time also borrowed many artifacts belonging to Atlantis, which was why he chose to fight on the coast. It is said that some artifacts did play a significant role in that battle, but the power of the Sea of Blood The staff is not one of them.
This "artifact" is not actually a weapon given to them by the God of the Sea, but a weapon forged by the wise king of Atlantis who was once known as King Wang. Its main function is very similar to that of most artifacts, and it can also be highly used. It can control the surrounding ocean and turn the user into a huge entity made of sea water.
This weapon was created to deal with the Sea Clan, but after being tried several times, it was thrown into the treasure house because there was nothing to restrain the Sea Clan, and its own power was among the many Tier V artifacts they owned. Also at the bottom.
But in fact, the Blood Sea Scepter is not the original name of this weapon, nor is it its real name. The original name of this scepter is actually just a pseudonym used to deceive others, but its real name is written in bloody words on Atlan in Sri Lanka's history.
The real name of this scepter is the Sea Overturning Scepter, and the purpose of its creation was not to deal with the sea tribe. The most important difference between this weapon and other artifacts is that its use does not rely on the ocean itself, but forces and changes the surrounding environment. seawater.
Moreover, the avatars made with it have the function of hiding their own existence from the ocean. It is not easy to achieve this, and in order to meet various stringent requirements including this, the weapons made by the talented wise king are only V The lowest level.
But later all Atlantis knew that this was just a product of his experimental nature.
He also forged a broken sea-suppressing spear again. That spear can give the user top level V power, and it can also provide various characteristics against the ocean. The combination is almost like the history of Atlantis. Wang Wang is one of the strongest wise kings in the world. They can be said to be almost invincible in the underwater world, and they can also cover their tracks in front of the ocean.
As the names of these two weapons suggest, they were created to fight against the Poseidon whom Atlantis believed in. Although he was the ruler of Atlantis, he completely distrusted those who gave them safety and status. gods.
However, he did not want to directly challenge the ocean at that time, but he did not trust and worship Poseidon like other Atlanteans, and he was wary of her deep down, so he created these two weapons to ensure that if When the day comes that Atlantis has to stand against the ocean itself, it still has the qualifications to struggle.
This is also the reason why he is called the Arrogant King. His arrogance is almost crazy. This wise king is actually taking precautions in advance against the sea god who has given them everything. Moreover, the sea itself has never done anything wrong at all, nor has it interfered with Asia. The internal operation of Atlantis only gave them safety and shelter.
Moreover, he originally planned to forge a series of weapons and equipment that could deal with Poseidon, and secretly distribute them to his confidants. He even wanted to leave behind a method for forging such weapons against the sea, and simplify them and slowly distribute them. to your own army.
But in the end his plan was leaked. The ancestor of Milod and two other wise kings teamed up with the ocean itself to sneak attack him, broke his spear before the battle, and finally paid a huge price to kill the man who tried to betray the gods. The madman was beheaded.
After that, the Four Wise Kings became the Three Wise Kings, and no member of the non-royal family could become a Wise King, and every time an Atlantean joined the royal family, a ceremony would be held, and they would have to see him with their own eyes. The sea-covering scepter with the blood of King Wang.
It was done to remind them of the tragedy, but in Ellie's eyes it was also her chance.
Sure enough, Vox looked at her and said sadly
"I heard that they have taken it back and are keeping it in the royal treasury, preparing to send it to the ceremony."
Ellie looked at him and asked:
"Do you know when they're going to start preparing?"
Vox's father is the prince in charge of security in the royal city.
Vox thought she asked out of anxiety:
"The delivery should start the night before the ceremony officially starts,"
This news is enough.
As long as she knows when it is being transported, she can get close to the weapon during the transport, and it seems quite reasonable to approach the escort team with her identity. They will regard themselves as children because of their father's nonsense, and are taking pity on them. Zhong persuaded her to leave.
And at that time, they definitely had no defense against themselves. The Blood Sea Scepter itself was not a real artifact, and no one in Atlantis would worry about someone risking their lives to snatch the artifact. For everyone, it’s courting death.
This is the deep sea.
This is also a question that Vox has no doubt at all. He could not have guessed what he wanted to do.
Even Ellie herself is not sure whether the mysterious organization can successfully take her away, but this is her last chance. She cannot accept that her father will be secretly executed in that gutter.
Seeing that Ellie seemed to have no problem, Vox opened his mouth and wanted to say something more to express his support for her:
"Ellie..."
"So you are here." A rich middle-aged male voice came from behind him.
Vox froze for a moment, then turned to look at the muscular man with some embarrassment:
"Wise King Milod..."
why is it you again?
Milod didn't seem to notice anything strange about him, nodded slightly and said:
"Vox, there's something I want to do..."
"Let's talk alone, I understand." After saying this, he walked out alone like a deflated ball.
Ellie was also surprised by his appearance. This may be more because of her own evil intentions, but she still remained calm. She was mentally prepared to face this situation when she planned to rescue her father.
After Vox walked away, Milod said to Ellie warmly:
“You mentioned your father to me last time in the temple, and our problems with the land are temporarily over.
"So I think now is the time."
Regardless of whether he was willing or not, the dispute over land affairs was over. They were defeated miserably in the duel. In fact, Milod had thought about the possibility that this was a trap set up by the Sun God and the land people, but after considering all the circumstances He ruled out this possibility in the future.
Moreover, when he just talked to Poseidon, she also told him that this ancient god would help them solve the threat of the Sea Tribe. The Sun God already had a good idea, and it was only time to test it.
So now there are no changes in her father's affairs.
Ellie asked:
"What time is it?"
Milod said:
"I think there are some things you should know. Although I was not here when they put your father in prison, they had actually anticipated my attitude when they made this decision, and I support them."
"What do you want to tell me?" she asked calmly.
Milod looked up at the bookshelf:
"I heard that your mother also likes books, and your father also likes reading. I think it is these commonalities that bring them together, but do you really know your mother? Do you know what she is like? people?
"You don't know, because your father hid a lot of things from you, your mother...
"He's a bad guy."
Ellie said doubtfully:
"What's the meaning?"
Milod explained:
"She is a witch who can play with the mind. This is what the land people call her. She is also quite evil on land. Your father is like a doll controlled by her at will. He came to us because of her bewitchment. , he has actually fallen into complete madness.”
Ellie said:
"He always seemed normal."
Milod shook his head:
"You don't realize this because you haven't seen him before, and it's also because he does his best to restrain the chaotic thoughts in his heart when he's in front of you. He won't lose control in front of you, because he It's your father.
"But I can see the change in him, we can all, that witch destroyed his mind.
"And do you know what your mother has done? She once killed other Atlantis spies who wanted to find him behind your father's back, just so that she could continue to control this toy. The most important thing...
"If she really loved you and your father, why didn't she follow you back?"
Ellie looked thoughtful.
Milod said:
"We imprisoned him to protect him. You haven't seen him without you, but I can guarantee that although we can't get him out of prison, we won't execute him.
"I have said everything that needs to be said, and I hope you can think carefully about what I said.
After saying this, the busy wise king turned around and left Ellie with his back.
However, he did not expect that Ellie was not surprised at all by the so-called "inside information" he said. After all, these wise kings gave the order. It would be strange if they really thought that there was nothing wrong with their father, but she did not care about it at all. .
On one side were her father's sincere words, and on the other side were the speculations of the three wise kings. She knew exactly what she should believe. The person who told her this was not a stranger she had known for a few days, but the father who had raised her.
She was not stupid. If what Milod said was true, she would have noticed it long ago.
He is the person closest to him.
Ellie only trusts the facts she has seen over the years. She knows that her father will not lie to her about this kind of thing, and she can also remember that the man does not have any signs of madness as Milod said. He is a wise and kind man. people.
And even if there is indeed any inside story, it will definitely not be what the wise kings say.
She would not doubt her father just because of a few words.
