Chapter 113 The Lost Trident

Go home and put the mutable Promethean metal you got under the bed.

Because the process of obtaining abilities through this was a bit bloody and brutal, and it also tested one's personal will, David didn't know what to do for the time being, so he decided to put it on hold until the need arises in the future.

After leaving home, David went to Paradise Island to see if the Amazons were slacking off.

He appeared in front of everyone, which was a silent urging.

He then followed the North Sea and began to search for the location of Atlantis.

…

In the cold blue water.

David was wrapped in an elliptical gravity field and suspended quietly in the sea water.

Fish of all kinds and colors swam around him.

He closed his eyes, feeling the pulse of the planet beneath his feet, and sensing the situation in this vast ocean through the omnipresent gravity.

"Atlantis, the seven kingdoms under the sea, each located within the seven seas."

Although it is called several countries in the name, it is actually just a few cities. Finding a few cities in the waters of this planet is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

"Fortunately, I gained the ability to control gravity."

Sensing things thousands of miles away through the planet's gravity field can save him a lot of time.

In my mind, pieces of silent and colorless sonar-like images flashed across my mind, thousands of miles away, like lines on the palm of my hand.

David quickly searched for traces of the city.

Speaking of his newly acquired abilities, he was multitasking and remembered an abnormality before the Black Emperor template was fully integrated.

"Actually, it's just what happened today and yesterday. The growth rate of template integration is beyond my expectation."

I originally thought it was because something happened on Paradise Island, such as someone secretly planning a rebellion, or someone gathering on a large scale to incite resentment and hatred against him, but when I visited Paradise Island, there was nothing like that.

"When did the abnormal increase start?"

He appeared in front of the public, captured the military base outside Metropolis and rescued Clark, causing everyone to be shocked and discussed?

What is the relationship between the two.

David had always thought that ordinary people couldn't provide him with any emotional points, but wasn't that the case?

Suddenly, the outline of a high-tech underwater city appeared in his mind.

"Found it, the seven countries under the sea!"

David suddenly opened his eyes and decided to suppress his doubts first.

“First get what’s certain, then think about what’s uncertain.”

The surrounding water flow seemed to come alive, pushing his gravity shield, breaking through the sea water, and rushing away at high speed.

…

"Princess."

It is as beautiful as a palace built with crystal stones under the sea.

A middle-aged man with a hooked nose walked in, caressing his chest slightly and saluting.

"Vico, you're here again."

Wearing a slim-fitting armor that looks like green fish scales, Mera, the princess of the Kingdom of Xebel, looks like a beautiful mermaid. She sits in the room, turning her head slightly, frowning slightly, with a languid expression. She is not very welcoming to this person who used to be a mermaid in her youth. Elders who taught her.

"This time is different, Princess Mera."

Vico was slightly excited, clutching an ancient leather scroll.

The late queen finally had a chance to fulfill the last wish she left for him.

"What's the difference?"

Mera stood up, her fiery red hair flying in the water as beautifully as red coral.

"Aren't you here again to convince me to help the Queen's eldest son Arthur ascend the throne?"

She admitted that her feelings for the Queen were extraordinary.

"When I was young, the Queen almost assumed the role of my mother, teaching me the principles of growth and life. The time I lived in Atlantis was the most carefree time of my life.

Even if my father later established a kingdom and I became Zebel's princess, it would be the same. "

Mera's face flashed in reminiscence.

“But that doesn’t mean that I have any special feelings for the Queen’s eldest son, whom I have never met.

So much so that I wanted to help him overthrow the fiancé my father had chosen for me, the current King of Atlantis, Orm, and help another person ascend the throne. "

"But you don't love him, right? You and Prince Om have only met a few times."

Vico got to the point and moved it with emotion.

"Your father pushed you to Prince Orm in order to gain the power to rule the Seven Seas. He seems not to have considered your happiness at all."

Atlantis is a system of shared governance between husband and wife. As long as Mera can become the queen, King Xebel, who hides his ambition under a benevolent appearance, can gain the highest power of the Seven Seas.

"I cannot betray my country and my people."

The red-haired princess shook her head as struggle flashed in her eyes.

When it comes to ambition, King Orm is extremely ambitious and makes no secret of it. If he is not restrained by the ancient system, sooner or later he will launch a war and annex the Kingdom of Xebel.

"This time is different, princess.

Arthur's chances of ascending to the throne are no longer slim. "

Vico hurriedly emphasized again, quickly came to a crystal table and spread out the ancient scroll.

Seeing that she was hesitant, he had persuaded Mera several times, but she had been hesitant, but today it was finally different.

No matter how difficult the Queen's legacy was to him, he had to complete it.

The Atlanteans hate land people, and the eldest prince born to the queen and the lighthouse keeper on land has half the blood of land people. Without the support of powerful forces, it is impossible to ascend the throne.

"Princess, do you still remember the lost trident of Atlantis?"

"That legend?"

Mera looked at the scroll in surprise, and a golden trident radiating power was depicted on it in the center.

This is a mythological scroll depicting a myth.

"No, it's not a legend.

Perhaps it happened so long ago that our people have regarded it as a legend.

But in the royal family and high-level family records, that was the real history. "

Vico shook his head excitedly.

"Historically, the greatest weapon forger in Atlantis used Poseidon's cold iron to forge the trident for the first king of Atlantis. It is said that it has the power to rule the ocean."

Mera murmured softly as she recalled the ancient rumors.

"Whoever can obtain its recognition will immediately have unlimited supreme power to rule the seven seas, and all Atlanteans will surrender under his feet!"

Vico, who is a member of the Throne Council of Atlantis, read the second half in an enthusiastic voice.

That is the undisputed symbol of the imperial power of the Seven Seas!

Mera frowned and looked at him hesitantly.

“Whether that’s true or not.

Because of the greedy desire of the Atlanteans, the power of the trident was accidentally studied. Atlantis sank and our land civilization was destroyed.

The Trident disappeared with the self-exile of the first King of Atlantis. "

Looking around, Vico carefully took out a rusty cylinder from the back of his waist.

"Not long ago, our archaeological team discovered this at the old site."

"This is an ancient recorder that can be traced back to the first generation of the dynasty. It contains the last message left by the King of Atlantis to the people. Follow it and you can find the supreme trident."

Vico just finished speaking.

The water in the room seemed to turn into a hand, pulling the recorder away from his hand.

He thought Mera was convinced and looked at her excitedly.

"Princess Mera!"

Manipulating water is Mera's innate talent, the only one in Atlantis.

But the next second, Mera looked at the recorder floating between the two of her, caught by the current, and stepped back, her face full of surprise.

"This...this wasn't done by me!"
