- "Sister, please protect me!"
After saying that, Xinglian jumped into the portal.
The water curtain on the door was integrated with the cold seabed behind, so the low temperature made Xinglian shiver violently.
Even a shark would not be able to adapt to it after leaving the sea for a few months and then returning.
Xinglian couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, but she soon stopped laughing.
Because she drowned.
Okay, although the drowning of a shark sounds like a very nonsense thing, now we need to analyze the specific situation in detail.
Xinglian lived on the ground for a long time, during which she took in drinking water. During this period, even when she took a bath, she chose to shower for various reasons, so she had no chance to practice her swimming skills. .
In other words, Xinglian¡¯s gills have cooled down for a long time. Of course, you can¡¯t become illiterate just because you haven¡¯t written for a few months, so Xinglian¡¯s body can actually breathe freely in the water.
The problem is that Xinglian's current body is not her original body. This body is just a projection of her self-awareness.
Then, according to pseudobiology, Xinglian has lived with land creatures for so long that she has long forgotten the fact that her lower body is actually a fish tail, and even more forgotten that she can breathe underwater, so her human body is fluttering After entering the deep sea, I choked hard.
Fighting the danger of drowning, Xinglian climbed back into the void behind the door.
"Wow, I almost died there. Even if I didn't drown, I couldn't withstand such high water pressure. It seems that I have to recover my true body To be honest, I really don't want to see that body again. .¡±
Xinglian hesitated for a while, and even though she was very reluctant, she still closed her eyes obediently.
When the power in his whole body woke up little by little in response to the call of the moonlight like a tide, Xinglian opened his eyes again.
The eyes that were originally dull due to the collapse of the soul and the prison of the soul, flashed with a deep and slightly bright blue color at the moment they were opened, like the clear waves of the blue sea. The ears became longer in the watery light all over the body, and the upper ends It became pointed, a bit like an elf's ears, but it didn't take long for the ears to become transparent, and finally became as transparent as crystal, becoming a light blue transparent auxiliary fin. All the clothes on his body burst into pieces, and scattered scales appeared on the body, covering the small hills on the chest. The originally slender snow-white thighs were close to each other, with layers of fish scales densely covered on them, and a tail fin showing a strange beauty grew out of the end. .
With a slight jump, Xinglian jumped into the water. This time, the deep sea failed to hinder the girl's progress. Her tail swung up and down, pushing the water behind her, and she swam forward quickly like an arrow off the string.
Although the surrounding visibility was very low due to the depth of the water, the dark environment still felt very familiar to Xinglian.
After swimming for a while, she finally confirmed that this was her motherland - Paro Sea.
"It seems like I have really returned to the depths of my memory."
Spreading an ice mirror in front of him, Xinglian sighed while stroking his smaller hands. My body has changed back to the time when this memory occurred. Judging from the size of my body, it was probably when I was less than a hundred years old.
At that time, I was still living in the palace without any worries. As a royal, all I had to do every day was enjoy life.
But everything changed soon after. I remember it clearly. It was a day in 1540. The entire West China Sea had just experienced a huge storm. The surface ecosystem was almost completely destroyed, which directly led to the destruction of many sea areas that year. Famine breaks out.
The surrounding scenery kept changing, and finally Xinglian appeared in a luxurious hall amidst the dazzling colors of purple and red.
On both sides are treasures collected from sunken ships, decorating the walls and ceiling. The coral walls produced by arcane power grow into various patterns. Different colors condense on the walls, turning into gorgeous murals. The light of night pearls shines on the crystal. , sapphire and agate amber are refracted between the fingers. With the waves, the gold ornaments hanging on the coral collide with each other, making a sweet sound.
Two whale guards appeared behind Xinglian. They were nominally her guards, but in fact they were escorting her to the main hall. I didn't know anything at the time. I was just an innocent child. I only knew how to pick pearls and look at the stars. Politics was insulated from me. But looking back seventy years later, I was really naive at that time. The guards looked at me so clearly. I can't even stand it, it's really
In the main hall, the chief priest slowly put down the crystal and read out the results of the divination.
"Goddess of War"
"It's ominous, he is indeed that woman's child"?¡±
¡°The country¡¯s fortunes are in bad shape!¡±
The ministers were whispering and pretending to be very concerned about state affairs. In fact, they had known this result a long time ago, and now it is just a political necessity.
They are die-hard loyalists of the Prime Minister Faction, so as the heir to the Queen Faction, he must be extricated, no matter what method is used, even if the devil is introduced into the palace, even if the target is a little girl who doesn't know anything yet.
Political struggles are always so dirty, because once they win, everyone will only see the flashy appearance, and no one will care about how much blood and ugliness is hidden underneath.
This law is called the winner and the loser.
Even though His Majesty¡¯s favorite is the Queen, even though His Majesty has no intention of handing the Golden Trident to other princes and princesses, even though His Majesty tacitly allows Xinglian to play with his crown, a certain prince who once tried to do so is now distracted. Lying in the bellies of several sharks.
She is the designated heir. No one can go against His Majesty Ashan¡¯s will. If His Majesty decides like this, then sooner or later the owner of the throne will be Xinglian.
No minister is willing to have this situation happen. Long before Xinglian was born, they had signed contracts with the heirs, agreeing on how to provide full support before taking the throne and how to divide the empire after taking the throne.
And the heir of the Queen's faction who only has the support of a martial arts commander, a heir appointed by the emperor, is obviously beyond the endurance of these mad dogs.
So when the chief priest predicted Xinglian¡¯s destiny star, everyone was extremely excited, because the goddess of war, which represented killing, was enough reason to kick Xinglian out of the empire¡¯s highest political circle.
The Goddess of War is not a bad omen for the country's subjugation, but if many people hope so, then this star will naturally become a bad omen.
"Please expel them! Your Majesty!"
"For the sake of the empire! The country is the most important thing!"
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
At that time, the chronic poison used by the second prince on Emperor Ashan had already taken effect. The originally wise and mighty emperor was slumped on the throne like a mummy, struggling to move his cheeks, looking like he would die at any time.
The mother of the second prince, the beloved concubine who was kneeling beside the emperor and putting her ear to the emperor's squirming mouth, stood up after hearing the almost pleading plea and took out a transparent pearl from the clam on the table. The beads were thrown to the ground. Although there was a buffer from the sea water, the beads still broke into hundreds of pieces on the ground, and Xinglian's future disappeared with it.
Throwing the beads represented the emperor¡¯s agreement.
When His Majesty Ashan heard "himself" agree, his hands that were struggling to wave dropped down in despair.
Everything around him was banned in an instant. Xinglian stood among the statue-like stiff ministers, looking around with a trace of pity in his eyes.
"Is this kind of petty profit worth your life and soul in exchange? Father, Xing'er can't figure it out."
Legend has it that there is a country at the tip of the two tentacles of the sea snail, and they are always at war with each other for trivial interests. At that time, I laughed and listened to my father's story, and felt that those people were really stupid. Now that I am really involved in the situation, I realize how helpless it is. and pain.
The form of political power in the Sea Kingdom is the ethnic leadership system. A noble rules a group of residents of lower races. This variant of feudalism between slavery and feudalism has extremely low productivity, especially in the sea where the products are relatively barren.
Fire cannot be made in the water, many things cannot be done, metal weapons cannot be forged, cooked food cannot be made, and handicrafts cannot be promoted.
Various luxury goods cannot or are difficult to produce in water. However, nobles once obtained those luxury goods through trade or plundering ships and salvaging sunken ships. However, the current luxury goods simply cannot meet the requirements of every noble.
Food alone cannot satisfy their greed. Only by gaining higher power can they wear exquisite swords, cover themselves with soft silk, and enjoy all kinds of rare luxuries.
The most important thing is to be able to do it under one person.
Nobles will do whatever it takes to be promoted to the top. Of course they will feel guilty, but material compensation is enough to comfort their boring kindness. The corrupt life gradually corrodes all the persistence in their hearts.
"Besides, if I don't fight for it, then everything I have now will be taken away by them."
¡°But it¡¯s precisely because everyone thinks this way that this sick regime emerges.
The queen's rebuttal arrived a month later. It was the "Netherworld Black Pearl" who was also the goddess of war and Xinglian's biological mother. She was fighting in the north that day. When she received the news and returned to the court at full speed, everything was already too late. .
Although Her Royal Highness the Queen is also the Goddess of War, no one dares to say anything. Tens of thousands of elites are still in the hands of the Queen, as is the Golden Trident.
Although the alliance of several heirs has emptied the queen and the emperor, the remaining small part of the military power is still firmly in the hands of the queen. As long as the Dark Blue Army still obeys the orders of Black Pearl, the ministers will not dare to go too far.
But they underestimated the exaggerated meaning of this. Xinglian¡¯s disappearance caused the assassination of one-third of the senators in the court.
The civil war in the empire broke out just as Xinglian left the border.
