Louis XXIX began to remove the white robe, the hat on his head. His Majesty the Emperor wrote nothing about it, nor did Rochu ask.

As if both sides knew, but neither side implicitly broke it.

It's just quiet on the road, you always need to find something to adorn, people aren't alone - it's the deep sea, far beyond the undersea world imagined by humans, the sun can't get here, so darkness breeds and loneliness is everywhere.

“Mr. Lo, do you know why the Undersea City and the Sea Demon Nation split?” His Majesty suddenly turned back and asked.

"It is said that it was the ancestors of the Sea Demons who disagreed with the ancestors of the Underwater City," said Lochu casually. In order to gain the power to live freely in the deep sea, the ancestors of the Sea Demon Nation became like monsters. ”

“That's what I heard from Kim Karen, right?” His Majesty the Emperor smiled.

"I read about it in my book," said Boss Lo. "There are other KOP channels that have instructions. ”

“It's something that the people can see in the undersea.” His Majesty the Emperor calmly said: “And so did Kim Karen… In fact, he did a good job in his research, but he was wrong from the start. ”

Rochu smiled and said, "Is Your Majesty going to tell me the truth? ”

“Remember the last time you saw an embossed painting on the wall in the library?” The emperor said coldly.

Lochu nodded, "It seems like a war. ”

Lewis XXXIX: “In fact, much of the history of Kim Karen's research fits, and the Limorian era, indeed, was a devastating catastrophe because it misguided the evolutionary direction of magic. The Liberians of that time had to start a sinking plan… but in fact, the original sinking plan was not just a part of the city. ”

Boss Lo listened with interest, and he liked the feeling that a little bit of history had been revealed.

“Together, we built ten undersea cities.” Louis XXXIX said slowly: "Ten submarine cities accommodate all the people who survived the catastrophe. And these ten undersea towns, all under the leadership of the last two princes of the Limorian era... you know those two statues at the entrance to the undersea? ”

“Are they the last two princes? ”

“Nice.” Luis XXXIX nodded: “This is not documented in any literature, and only as descendants of their bloodline do we know about it. In fact, no one but us would have thought that the ancestors of the Undersea City and the ancestors of the Sea Demons were actually two brothers. ”

“After all, the appearance is too different.” Boss Lo shook his head… that was already the difference between man and beast.

“My ancestors, Louis I and Cassidy, the ancestors of the Sea Demon Nation, as the last remaining Prince of the Liberian Empire, have always been committed to restoring their former civilization.” The voice of Louis XXXIX is fading, “they did disagree, but not on the matter of deciding to live in the deep sea or return to land… but because of the attitude of certain forces. ”

“On the library embossing, what are you fighting for? ”

“Why don't you guess what this is.” His Majesty the Emperor has revealed his sly gaze at this moment, "what power has led to the disagreement between the two princes and even to the accumulation of so many generations of hatred. ”

“It seems to have something to do with the first black ball picked on the [game] field that day.” Boss Lo TWO laughed: “After all, there are similar black balls on the embossing... it's not hard to associate. ”

“We call it the [Eye of the Abyss], which can devour all the negative emotions of life as food, grow itself, and cannot be eliminated by any means we know.” Louis XXXIX mocked himself: “Indeed, the Limorian civilization, which proclaimed itself to be at the end of civilization, did not know anything. Once upon a time, there was something unknown to Limorian civilization… and it was hidden in the deep sea. ”

“Is the Undersea City a party to compromise with such forces?” Lochu thought about it.

Louis XXXIX said: "Do you find it strange that a flourishing and peaceful undersea city would be a party to the compromise? Instead, the fierce sea demon tribe is a party to the rebellion. ”

Boss Lo won't let it go.

His Majesty the Emperor appealed: "[The Eye of the Abyss] is the food for that thing. Every once in a while, the Underwater City needs to provide enough [Eye of the Abyss] to survive under its control. As you said, 20 black balls can be exchanged for new technology... Unfortunately, each [Eye of the Abyss] condensation requires a lot of war, and many [Feita Games] can be condensed. The offering is just barely enough… Twenty, there's really nothing I can do. ”

Rochu didn't talk.

This price was offered by the altar - since it was offered by the altar, it means that the then Louis XXXIX had enough and could give.

“My condition, Your Majesty, is still those.” Rochu shook his head: "But I'm afraid this explanation will only allow you to make yourself one of these conditions. ”

“I know.” His Majesty waved: “I just want someone to talk to... people in the Undersea can't. Reyes can, but not now. Unlike you, you don't belong in the Underwater City, you have nothing to do with us, and there's nothing to know… Importantly, I don't think you like people who preach other people's secrets everywhere. ”

“If the undersea city chose compromise, and the sea demons chose disobedience..." Boss Lo asked: “Based on your level of uncertainty about [it], why did [it] not sweep away the sea demons? ”

“It is true that a one-time disaster can harvest vast quantities of [the eye of the abyss] that destroyed and vanished the nine former submarine towns. But then it discovered that the last undersea city under caution was all about food… it began to ponder, and then it gave birth to the idea of recreation… However, an undersea city alone was not enough to feed [it].” His Majesty the Emperor has no expression: "As I said, [The Eye of the Abyss] is something that devours all negative emotions and grows... where can negative emotions be easier? ”

“War.”

“[It] nourishes the undersea.” Louis XXXIX had a glimmer of self-derision in his eyes, "and I was feeding the Sea Demons… such events as the [Feita Competition] could not be held too much, otherwise the state of the people of the Undersea City would be out of control. However, unlike the Sea Demons, they have a strong reproductive capacity and a population far exceeding that of the submarine city, which can be described as endless. Killed one this year, will be replenished shortly next year and will continue to do so. ”

"But what I saw in the underwater city was based on magic technology, and I didn't see any other shadow of external force intervening," said Boss Luo. You said... [It] is raising the Undersea City? ”

Louis XXXIX suddenly stood still and then turned around slowly.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor appeared in front of Roquette, not as handsome as the undersea people perceived him… his abnormally ugly face was constantly twisted and then combined into a new look, like some kind of insect.

“As I said, Kim Karen has been wrong from the beginning… you, now understand? ”

Lo Qiu opened his mouth and then suddenly said, "Turns out you are the fallen sea demons. ”

……

The emperor seemed to dislike the way it was.

He just let that ugly look last for a moment, and then he went back to what he was.

“Actually, that's what the Limolians look like.” His Majesty the Emperor says with a bitter smile at this moment: "Or rather, it is the Limorian body that, after incorporating magic, produces the appearance of mutation… This evolution gives us a greater ability to use magic, but at the same time turns us into monsters and deprives us of our ability to survive in the sun. Another ancestor of the Underwater City, Cassidy, believes that this is a punishment for the Limorians, and we should bear in mind our mistakes and not give in to [it] 's rule to restore the false past… Even if imprisoned in the deep sea in an ugly manner, we cannot lose our dignity as Limorians. There is a curse on [it] in every one of us, and once we leave [it] in control, ugliness and mutation will reappear. Of course, excessive anger, brutality, etc. can easily expose us if we have too many negative emotions. ”

“So rather than holding the Feita Competition to collect the [Eye of the Abyss], it is regularly cleansing the people of the Underwater City of negative emotions and avoiding the exposure of their true faces.” Lochu thought, “How long do you think this will last? ”

“At least so far, not much has changed.” His Majesty the Emperor calmly said, "The Undersea City can be sustained like this all the time. ”

“If that's the case, then why do you want to have access to the technology of giant civilization? ”

“I'm the last generation.” His Majesty looked at Lochu and said softly: “By the time I got here, I couldn't find a qualified heir… By the way, do you know what kind of identity I am as an underwater emperor in front of [it]? ”

Boss Lo shook his head.

“A slave, a slave as a herder.” His Majesty the Emperor is hidden: “I think what our ancestors compromised was wrong, and the other ancestor, Cassidy, was right. ”

Lochu thought, “You want to be able to resist [it], but at the same time you are afraid of failure... you hope that Reaz will replace you after you fail and continue to be the slave of this herd... you will initiate the final challenge to [it] as a [Sea Demon Nation]? ”

“I will die in this deep sea.” His Majesty pointed to a piece ahead and whispered: “It's like this place of death. ”

……

This is a magical [lake] in the deep sea… a lake formed by poor salinity.

This saltwater lake, which lies deep in the seabed, has a visible line of demarcation, just as the waterfalls of the sea floor are formed by varying temperatures producing density differences, and a large number of organisms are clustered above this line of demarcation… they are more shellfish, densely and neatly arranged.

At the edge of the dividing line, more are the bodies of deep-sea creatures… they are not decaying, and the super high salinity maintains what they used to be, the most spectacular museum at the bottom of the deep sea.

“Why bring me here. ”

Louis XXXIX laughed: “At first, I thought it was beautiful. [Lakes] in the deep sea are not common. Second, it always feels quiet enough here... death, right in front of you, within reach. There are not many wonders at the bottom of the ocean, and this is one, unfortunately, missed. ”

As the Emperor spoke, a total deep-sea eel suddenly dived into the salt lake in search of food, but soon it swam out, several times diving and floating, and the eel was poisoned.

It needs to get rid of this salt halogen in order to have a chance to live.

Thus, its body began to struggle, bend, curl, sink and float in salt halogen and sea water, so many times… that the eel finally managed to escape the salt halogen.

“Good luck.” His Majesty the Emperor gave a smile.

Behind this smile are countless corpses of unspoilt benthic creatures floating to the edge.

“The last reason.” The emperor looked at Lochu again at this moment and said peacefully: "[It] is right under this [lake]. ”

“You made up your mind? ”

“Actually, there's nothing to decide.” His Majesty the Emperor laughed casually: "Since my birth, this has been my mission. I just don't understand, why does this last condition seem so insignificant compared to the White Tower, compared to the [Eye of the Abyss]... compared to the [Holy Armor]? ”

Boss Luo didn't say anything, at this time he used the store manager's identity, the only way to communicate with customers is to stop here... In fact, it has exceeded a lot, in other words, if it was a previous term, it would not be here.

“In fact, did His Majesty ever think, perhaps from me, that more could be gained, such as… the power to confront or even to destroy [it]? ”

His Majesty listened quietly and asked softly, "Is a whole submarine city enough? ”

Lochu shook his head.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to know a long time ago and laughed, "Then why should I think about it? ”

“I see. ”

The [lake] of the deep sea suddenly dimmed, but soon another clump of light lit up… it was the light of the deed.

……

……

The complex hole in the mine * *.

The Sea Demons on Prince Basque's side and the Undersea City Mission on Mrs. Kaia's side were hidden behind two huge and inclined columns, respectively.

They've all figured out what that horrible beast looks like.

It sprays horrible acid syrup, has infinitely powerful tentacles, a huge exposed eye, and a mouthpiece that can easily bite anything.

“This is probably the biggest squid I've ever seen in my life.” Professor Kim Karen, hiding beside him, shook his head at this point: “I don't want to eat squid like this for the rest of my life. ”

Mrs. Kaya did not speak, nor did one type of undersea fighter speak, but apparently shared the professor's statement.

At this point, the prince of the Sea Demon tribe hidden across the street suddenly said out loud: "Everyone in the Underwater City across the street, I hear your third legion is out there? I am now officially seeking political asylum in the Undersea City as Prince of the Sea Demon Nation! ”

Professor Kim Karen shook his mouth - not because the prince shouted at this moment, or because he feared death.

And just because —— is that how the word goddamn political asylum works?
