Chapter 430 What happened?
Inside the Temple of Poseidon.
The mermaid king, Triton, was loudly complaining to his men about Lu Li's rudeness and how little face he, as the king of a world, had to give to the other party.
A group of fishman guards nodded repeatedly, and from time to time a string of bubbles emerged from under the golden masks, and voices of agreement were heard.
"That's right, those humans were so rude just now!"
"After only a few words, you abandoned your companions in the hall. This is really irresponsible!"
"Our king is still very polite, and his speech shows the majesty of a king!"
"Yes, yes. Unlike those human adventurers, they actually dared to ask for the specific location of the deep-sea treasure. It's amazing that they could think of it!"
"Find the whereabouts of the little princess in half a day? Humph, you think things are too simple!"
"We have been searching for five days and still haven't found it. If he can really find it in half a day, then aren't we all useless?"
"Yes, yes, yes. If he really finds us, we will be useless wastes!"
The atmosphere of verbal crusade was strong and Triton was in high spirits.
He immediately prepared a new speech and began a new long speech.
By pulling Lu Li down, he showed off his extraordinary tolerance.
As a result, he was interrupted by a report after only saying half of it:
"My king, my king! Something terrible has happened!"
Triton's eyes narrowed, his expression was filled with sorrow but also with a hint of joy, he shouted sternly:
"Did those adventurers just give up because they couldn't find Emily?! I knew these monkeys from the land were unreliable..."
"Ah?" The mermaid guard who came to report was stunned, and then shook his head vigorously:
"No, my king..."
"Did they encounter an accident during the search? Humph, the water is our home turf after all. These skinny little monkeys are too arrogant, so they suffered losses during the search, right?"
The mermaid guard shook his head again, his eyes behind the mask filled with anxiety:
"No, my king..."
"Ah, I know!" Triton clenched his right fist and gently hit his left palm, saying confidently:
"They must be lost right!?"
"That's right. The coral forest is so big that even us mermaids can easily get lost before we reach adulthood, let alone these outsiders."
"No, my king!" The mermaid guard almost knelt down to Triton.
The mermaid king doesn’t usually talk so much, why is he so talkative today?
Can't you just listen to what he has to say?
"What is that?" Triton finally stopped guessing and looked at the mermaid guard in surprise.
At the end, don’t forget to follow up with the following sentence:
"It can't be that they have found Emily?"
The mermaid guard took a deep breath and was about to answer.
The next second, I felt footsteps coming from behind me.
have to,
Everyone is here,
What the hell is there to report?
"I haven't found it yet, but it's almost there."
Lu Li, who was still outside the Temple of Poseidon, spoke directly in the water and answered Trydon's question.
"Uh, who's talking?"
Triton didn't see Lu Li's figure and thought it was a mermaid guard who interrupted.
After he looked around, Lu Li had already stepped into the hall and walked towards Pan Xiaoxiao.
Because of the intersection of vision, the Mermaid King did not realize that several people were already in the hall.
Seeing that the guards remained silent, he simply continued to ask the fishman who came to report:
"Odyssey, come on, tell me. If you keep me in suspense, I'll punish you by making you clean up the sea cow breeding shed!"
The mermaid guard Odyssey's mouth twitched and he swallowed the words "Fuck you".
He doesn’t say?
Is he keeping you in suspense?
And he should be punished to clean up the sea buffalo breeding shed?
As the king of mermaids in the underwater world, are the eyes on your long head covered with sea cow dung?
He is really a living father.
Three adventurers swaggered into the hall, but you didn't see them, right?
If it weren't for the huge gap in status, Odysseus would have dragged Triton out into the sea to wash his eyes.
At the moment, he could only roll his eyes and point in the direction of Lu Li.
I thought that by doing this, the Mermaid King would always understand what I meant.
But he never thought that the other party's stupidity was far beyond his imagination.
"Eh? What do you mean by not saying anything but making gestures? Are you going to stop keeping us in suspense and start playing guessing games instead?"
Triton stroked his chin with one hand and pretended to be angry:
"Let me guess, eh? Okay, then I'll make a guess!"
"If you guess correctly, you will have to clean the sea cow breeding shed for me for a month!"
"Pointing to a certain place with one hand should imply important information..."
"Could it be that those three adventurers are trapped somewhere and need our rescue?"
Odyssey felt hopeless and slapped his own mask with his hand.
"Ha! I guessed it right! I knew those three adventurers were unreliable. It hasn't been that long and they're already trapped!"
"He even claimed that he could find Emily in half a day. He's really crazy. Haha... Holy shit!!"
Just as Triton was laughing heartily, he suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching right under his nose.
When he looked down, he found that it was the Lu Li who he mentioned as 'crazy beyond limits'.
At this moment, the young man was looking at him blankly with an expression as if he was a fool.
"Uh... Adventurer, when did you enter the hall? Why is there no movement at all..."
Triton swallowed and pretended to be calm.
"I've been here since you said 'these monkeys from the land are unreliable'."
Lu Li responded calmly.
"Uh... I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about others..."
Triton hurriedly tried to make amends, but found that the young man opposite him narrowed his eyes suspiciously:
"Really? But why do the three adventurers you mentioned sound so similar to us..."
"How could that be! It's just a coincidence, a beautiful coincidence!" The mermaid king laughed awkwardly, his huge body huddled into a ball, nodding and bowing, looking quite funny:
"By the way, do you have any clues? Do you know where my little daughter Emily is?"
Lu Li didn't intend to delve into this matter, so he just let it go and changed the subject:
“Well, there is a clue.”
"We're going back to shore in a bit, and we need you to send someone to help us."
"Oh? What do you need my people to do for you?" Triton tried to restore his kingly dominance and said in a majestic voice:
"My guards are all brave and good at fighting. The power of a single fish can defeat a mighty army..."
"Oh, that's great, because the four of us are fugitives. Once we get ashore, we may be chased by a large number of heavily armored guards." Lu Li smiled.
"I feel relieved when I hear that the mermaid guards are so powerful."
The Mermaid King's expression was stiff, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth were twitching violently.
After a long while, he asked weakly.
"Aren't you adventurers? What did you do to attract so many heavily armored guards to chase you down..."
Lu Li grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth:
"We tried to assassinate the prince, but unfortunately, we were unsuccessful."
"Since the mermaid guards are so powerful, I hope you can let them help us attack the King's City of Hatras."
