Chapter 136 Banquet

Ying Jie Bi Ye Sheng
"Hohohohoho~"
"It seems that everyone gets along very well!"
A hearty laughter came, and Doyle and his party looked in the direction of the laughter. It was Neptune sitting on the throne, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.
"Father!"
Hearing his father's voice, Sha Xing hurriedly saluted and said hello, with an embarrassed smile on his face.Then, he quickly introduced Doyle and Gion to Neptune.
"Everyone has come from afar, and you have worked hard all the way."
"In Lower Neptune, on behalf of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, welcome all of you to come to our Fishman Island as guests!"
Neptune, who was sitting upright, stood up, and formally greeted Doyle and his party on the Flounder seat and everyone in the navy, and everyone quickly returned their greetings.
"Your Majesty Neptune, it is a great honor for me to be No.1 representing a human nation to visit Fishman Island."
After Doyle finished the basic self-introduction with everyone, Doyle set the tone for this meeting. Sure enough, Neptune’s old face was full of smiles before Doyle’s words were finished. It was what he most wanted to hear.
With Doyle's words, the news about the Dragon Palace Kingdom in the next issue of the newspaper will once again be exposed to interested people all over the world.
Neptune, who was 60 years old at this time, did not look old at all, and his orange hair was very vigorous. Even after ten years, it did not turn white. Perhaps the lifespan of a mermaid would be longer than that of ordinary humans. ?
Neptune wears a crown on his head, has blue eyes and a red nose.The body is stronger than the average mermaid, with lush and fluffy orange-red wool curly hair and beard, sitting on the throne, but with a very kind expression.
Neptune has flame-like tattoos on his arms, thick body hair, and metal armguards set with gems on his wrists.Next to the throne, there was still a finely carved trident lying quietly, which was Neptune's weapon.
People who can make friends with heroes like Whitebeard and Roger when they are young are naturally very bold and unrestrained in character and have a clear distinction between love and hate.
Not long after Neptune took over as king, he had already heard about his wife Otohime running around for the ideal of peaceful coexistence between murlocs and humans.
But he is not an idealist like Otohime. At that time, he believed that Otohime's dream of a world where murlocs and humans coexisted was just a dream of their ancestors being destroyed.
He knows more, and he also understands that these things are not without the efforts of his predecessors. 200 years ago, Dragon Palace Kingdom joined the world government and it was already their limit.
However, although Neptune didn't agree with Otohime's actions, he couldn't stop her.It wasn't until Otohime's death that Neptune formally inherited Otohime's ideas and became the main peace faction on Murloc Island who advocated that "Murlocs and mermaids should coexist peacefully with humans".
At this time, Neptune still believes that Otohime is just wishful thinking. His idea is to rely on sufficiently deepening ties and interest disputes with human countries to finally achieve the goal of gradually integrating into them.
This is the reason and proposition that a "king" should have.
But Otohime's death made Neptune feel very guilty. He felt that he did not stop Otohime, which led to such consequences. He only blamed himself for not protecting Otohime well.
It is also because of this that he "inherited" Otohime's ideas. This was not because Neptune could suddenly understand and understand Otohime's ideas, but because Neptune, as a husband, felt guilty about his wife. Atonement.
And what Doyle said was exactly what Neptune meant. The most difficult part of his thinking and approach was the first step. He had been waiting for the first human kingdom willing to take the initiative to contact Murloc Island to appear.
Of course, the contact here refers to formal diplomacy, not those sinister human traffickers and slave catchers, those guys who do everything possible to arrest their compatriots.
This is the limitation of his Neptune. It is obviously the Murloc Island's own business, but he has no subjective initiative, and he is simply waiting for a rabbit.
If it weren't for the existence of Andre Kingdom and Doyle in this time and space, Neptune would not be able to wait another ten years for hope! But, there are some things that need to be seen through.
"The young crown prince of the Kingdom of Andre, Andre Doyle, is indeed young and promising! Hohohoho~"
Neptune’s voice was bold, and he looked carefully at Doyle and the people behind Doyle, admiring from the bottom of his heart, which was not only a compliment to Doyle himself, but also a compliment to Doyle’s “good vision”.
When Shark Star went to meet them, Neptune checked the information about Andre Kingdom in recent years sent by Minister Zuo.
He knew that the Kingdom of Andre had completely resolved the "problems left over from history" last year, re-established unity in the true sense, and its national strength was very strong.
This is a large human country with a population of tens of millions, and it is one of the vast four seas, a human power that can be called the hegemon in the South China Sea. These conditions are enough for Neptune to ignore the possible influence of "being targeted by the world government" up.
Because, there is no country of this size that is not targeted by the world government. Whether it is in the West Sea, the North Sea, or even the great waterway, they cannot escape the "arrangement" of the world government.
At least, in the "rules of the game", after a country resolves the "last round of arrangements" of the world government, there will be a period of stable development in the world, and it will not be "arranged" again until it "disobeys" the world government again. ".
This is the default unspoken rule between the major kingdoms that have joined the world government and the world government for 800 years. This is a secret that only the king or the successor of the kingdom knows.
According to this rule, Andre will have a stable life in the future, and making friends with such a kingdom is of great benefit to Fishman Island.
The premise is that Neptune has to figure out the habits of Doyle and Andre's royal family to ensure that he is not a person who will mess around. It is best to make the "stable period" longer, otherwise the Dragon Palace Kingdom will be easily taken into the pit .
It's a pity that Doyle couldn't let him get what he wanted.
The banquet was held happily. The food of the fishman island, that is, the food of the mermaid clan, although it is not very suitable for Doyle's taste, but once in a while is still very good, it can be regarded as a way to clear the stomach.
Enough food and drink, next, it's time to get down to business, but this time the priority is the "deal" between the Navy and Jinbe, and the world government cannot be delayed.
Gion's adjutant communicated with Minister Zuo, and then reported to Gion and Neptune respectively. Soon, Neptune had someone move the negotiating table and placed it on the high platform of the banquet hall.
On the navy side, a large stack of documents was neatly placed on the negotiating table one by one.
……
