#400 - Something feels wrong

"Who said that the Dragon King's Halberd must be taken out in order to complete the transfer?"

Ao Yin'er said with a smile, not at all wary of Xu Ming, even giving off a naive and innocent vibe.

This kind of girl who doesn't have any defenses against others is, you could say, the easiest to deceive.

"How should I put it?" Ao Yin'er thought seriously, even pondering how to explain it to Xu Ming so that he could understand better.

"I can't really explain it clearly either, it's just that, well, there will be a ceremony held, and during this ceremony, the Dragon King's Halberd will receive some kind of induction, and then it can be invited over." Ao Yin'er blinked her eyes, "If I say it like this, can you understand?"

Xu Ming nodded: "I roughly understand."

It's nothing more than something similar to a summoning array.

And the summoning arrays of the Four Seas are interconnected.

If the East Sea and the North Sea want to connect, they can directly activate the array.

After the array is activated, the Dragon King's Halberd will enter the North Sea under the traction of the array.

No wonder the East Sea wanted to hand over to the North Sea, but no one escorted the Dragon King's Halberd over.

Otherwise, logically speaking, such an important thing should not only be escorted by experts, but the Dragon King of the East Sea would probably have to personally escort it.

However, isn't there any risk in connecting like this?

Xu Ming felt it was impossible.

In this world, there is nothing that is without any risk, everything has its two sides.

"Could it be…"

Suddenly, in Xu Ming's heart, there was a bold guess.

Could it be that the fish that Ao Jin caught was because of the Dragon King's Halberd?

Did the East Sea want to tamper with the Dragon King's Halberd?

After all, the Dragon King's Halberd is a treasure needed by all Four Seas, whoever occupies the Dragon King's Halberd will have a certain control over the Four Seas if others cannot control it.

And since the North Sea and the East Sea are the two parties involved in the handover, it is very possible that the East Sea has some ideas about the Dragon King's Halberd.

No, no, no.

Xu Ming felt that something was still not right.

The array used for this kind of handover must not be so easily interfered with, let alone being interfered with by just a fish, otherwise the Dragon King's Halberd would have been lost countless times.

Moreover, the Dragon King's Halberd has been handed over for so many years, logically speaking, most of the "what ifs" should have been eliminated.

"Is there anything else you want to know?" Ao Yin'er looked at Xu Ming and said triumphantly.

Ao Yin'er felt proud and honored that she could answer so many of Xu Ming's questions.

Looking at Ao Yin'er's silly appearance, even if Xu Ming had many questions in his heart, he didn't have the heart to ask them.

Deceiving a pure little fool, you really feel guilty in your heart.

"No, thank you, Miss," Xu Ming said with a smile, shaking his head.

Xu Ming felt that he already knew enough, and other information would probably be useless to him.

"Does the gentleman have any questions to ask? If I know the answers, I will definitely answer them for the gentleman," Xu Ming said.

Xu Ming felt that he had obtained a lot of information, and he had to repay the other party.

It's just that, well, most of the questions she asked were very ordinary, and he couldn't even reveal a little bit of more secret information to her.

Ao Yin'er thought for a while, and then counted on her fingers: "There are so many, many things I want to know.

I want to know how you people on land farm. I heard that you people on land are very good at farming. In summer, it's all golden yellow, like a golden sea.

I want to know what kind of horses you people on land ride when you fight? I heard that the horses you ride on land are very tall, and those horses eat grass. Is it true that eating grass can grow so much meat?

I also want to go and play on the mountains and rivers of your land. I heard that the mountains on your land are very high, with all kinds of trees, and water falling from the sky, which is said to be something called a waterfall."

As she spoke, there was a lot of longing in the girl's eyes.

It can be seen that the girl really wants to go to the land to play.

She seems to be very yearning for the outside world.

Xu Ming smiled, looking at this pure and innocent girl: "If you want to go to the land to play, isn't it something that anyone can do?"

Ao Yin'er shook her head: "No, no, my father won't allow me to go out. Father said that those humans on land are all treacherous and cunning. If I go, I'm afraid I'll be deceived so that not even my bones will be left.

So, not to mention your land, my father won't even allow me to go ashore on some ordinary paths."

"… …"

Listening to the girl say this, Xu Ming felt that this Dragon Princess was really quite pitiful.

Although her identity is precious, she is actually like a bird in a cage, always locked in that gorgeous cage, unable to fly out no matter what.

However, what her father said was not without reason.

Indeed, such a pure girl can be said to be no different from Shi Xin. If there is any difference, Shi Xin is just more of a Holy Mother, but in reality, she is very clear about what the other party is thinking.

But this girl is really silly.

"Wouldn't it be okay if some of your relatives or some attendants accompanied you?"

Xu Ming asked again.

Even if she can't go out by herself, logically speaking, as long as there are some guards to accompany her, it should be fine, right?

"No, no."

Ao Yin'er shook her head again, with a little bit of melancholy in her tone.

"I also made this request to my father before, saying that even if my brother accompanied me, that would be fine. Anyway, as long as I can go and play, I'm not picky about who accompanies me.

But unexpectedly, my father and brothers disagreed.

I even ran away secretly in a fit of anger, but what I didn't expect was that I hadn't even left the sea before I was caught by my father.

Father was so angry at the time.

It was the first time I saw such an angry father.

After that, I could only give up."

The more she spoke, the more melancholy Ao Yin'er felt.

Xu Ming: "… …"

At first, Xu Ming felt okay, just simply thinking that the North Sea just wanted to protect this little girl.

But the more Ao Yin'er said, the more Xu Ming felt that something was wrong.

Normally speaking, is it necessary to protect her to this extent?
