Chapter 83 Something unprecedented in history
The ship jolted suddenly.
The sky seemed to be getting a little darker. The tranquil moonlight that originally shone on everyone's faces disappeared. When people looked up, they discovered that a huge dark cloud covered the silver moon.
The sea suddenly became angry.
The waves got bigger, heavy dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning struck in the distance.
"Ah, the terrible storm is coming!"
The sailors shouted in panic and quickly lowered the sail.
The tide suddenly rose, like a huge black mountain, rushing over, causing the gorgeous ship to shake violently, and the king fell to the deck.
Big waves came one after another, trying to break the ship's mast. Cold rain fell. Silver lightning shuttled between the dark clouds, breaking down from time to time, turning the night into day.
The big ship was rocking in the violent sea. Compared with the huge waves, even the largest ship in the West Asian Kingdom seemed too small.
Click.
Click.
Click.
The ship made a shattering sound, the ship's plank walls covered with beautiful patterns were discounted by the incoming waves, and the mast was broken in the strong wind.
The ship tilted and was halfway into the sea.
With a splash, cold water poured into the cabin.
"Protect His Majesty the King!"
The chief officer issued orders to the soldiers and sailors on the ship, but his orders were drowned in the strong wind and heavy rain.
But even if they can hear commands, what can they do?
The elite soldiers supported the king and surrounded him, keeping his balance in the fierce wind and rain, so that the king would not be injured by the collapsed mast or the boxes and barrels tossed in the storm. The cold rain hit the faces of the king and the soldiers.
There was nothing else they could do. They had sharp bayonets, but they could not pierce the storm. They had beautiful shields and armors, but they could not resist the wrath of the sea.
"Oh my god! God? Why did you let me encounter a storm at this time?"
the king lamented.
Not long ago, he had just learned the good news that his child was about to marry Princess Ender.
He hadn't had time to see Prince Eric put on beautiful and luxurious clothes and hold the hand of the bride who was wearing the same expensive wedding dress.
"I wonder how good it is over there with Eric..." The king held onto the edge of the boat, bathing in the cold rain and biting wind, with thousands of thoughts pouring out of his mind.
Those who face death will always have many memories.
"Eric, although you are a rebellious child who loves fantasy, you have an admirable courage and a persistence that never gives up to achieve your goals."
"You are indeed immature sometimes. But who is born stable? Who has not experienced the frivolous youth?"
"In any case, you are much better than your traveling, playful and lustful brother."
"You are now the crown prince of the Kingdom of West Asia, and you are destined to become the king of the Kingdom of West Asia in the future."
"Of course, you can't hear what I'm thinking now. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for the last time!"
"Next, you will hold a wedding with the princess in the imperial city of Ende. Under the illumination of thousands of oil lamps on the altar, you will put your hands on the bride's chest and sing to her with joyful songs. Say the oath.”
"When you learn the sad news that your father was buried in the belly of a fish, you will return to the Kingdom of West Asia with the beautiful princess from a neighboring country. Then, you will take my place on the throne and become the new king of the Kingdom of West Asia. That little The princess will become the queen of the kingdom."
"Fortunately, I have almost advanced the alliance between the two countries before this. You only need to complete the last small part."
"From then on, the merchant ships of the Kingdom of West Asia will sail unimpeded on the sea, and the royal pirates of End Germany will no longer attack our ships and fishermen. Their name of the Royal Navy dominating the sea will protect our ships. From then on, the country will As we become more and more prosperous, everything will slowly get better..."
"It's a pity. You are still too young. I don't have the chance to slowly teach you about the intrigues in the palace and how to choose wise ministers and avoid slanderous jesters..."
Too many thoughts and thoughts flashed through the king's mind.
At the end of these thoughts, the king felt a biting chill. That's the coldness of the sea.
He has fallen into the sea.
The salty and wet sea water poured into the nasal cavity, eroding the king's consciousness.
During the struggle, the king saw many dexterous figures running through the violent waves at incredible speeds and nimbly maneuvering around the wreckage of ship beams and planks floating on the sea.
"Is there anyone swimming in the sea? Who can swim so nimble and fast? Better than the strongest swimmer I have ever seen!"
In his vague consciousness, the king had doubts.
Then, he noticed that the lower parts of these figures were not human feet but beautiful fish tails.
Mermaid! Lots and lots of mermaids!
Hundreds of mermaids!
This astonishing sight made the king suddenly wake up. He waved his hands in the sea water, trying to call for help from the mermaids. This sounded incredible, but subconsciously he felt that the mermaids would save him. Maybe it was because I just heard the saying "mermaids are harmless" from the attendant.
But then, violent waves knocked him into the water again.
In the freezing water, the king felt a thick hand grab his arm.
Immediately afterwards, this powerful force that gave people a sense of security lifted the king out of the sea, ensuring that his head was on the sea and he could breathe fresh air.
The king glanced behind him at the man who had rescued him.
It was a heroic man with a fish tail. He wore a crown carved from coral and a robe made of thousands of fish scales. He pulled himself up with his strong left hand, and held a golden trident in his right hand. .
"Wow, there are a lot of humans overboard here. It looks like their ship was hit by a horrible storm."
"Do you remember? Human beings can't breathe in water, so we can't let them die in vain!"
The Lord of the Sea raised his trident and gave orders to the other mermaids.
The voice of the Sea King was so majestic that it echoed across the entire sea, covering up the roar of the wind and the patter of ice rain falling on the sea.
"Save them, save all the humans here, and take them to the nearest island!" Neptune said.
The mermaids heard the Sea King's order and picked up the soldiers, attendants and sailors who fell into the water one after another, and raised their heads above their heads.
Many soldiers, sailors and attendants who woke up could not believe the sight before them.
The mermaid, who is said to bring disaster and lead sailors into dangerous waters, is actually saving them!
Some soldiers who fell into the water were extremely panicked when they saw the mermaids, fearing that these terrifying monsters would eat them. When they found out that these mermaids actually came to help, they were so surprised that they thought they were dreaming.
Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the people who fell into the water:
"Isn't that a mermaid?"
"So many mermaids. I've never seen so many mermaids together."
"Gods. The mermaids are helping us! They seem to really mean it."
"I knew those legends about mermaids were just for children."
"..."
They waved their hands to signal the nearby mermaids to come to save them, and shouted loudly, asking for their help.
Never in the history of sea and land has there been anything like this - sailors longing to see mermaids, rejoicing as they swam toward them!
"I pray to you, O sea, to extinguish your anger."
Neptune raised his trident high.
"Let me and my people take you to the land!"
……
Ende Imperial City Port.
Near the temple where the prince and princess held their wedding.
Because of the chaos at the port, the soldiers guarding the temple were also in chaos.
Several officers were directing each other, or reporting to each other on various matters, such as which ship sank again, or which huge sea beast suddenly appeared.
They constantly sent men to the warships in the port to repair the damage on the leaking ships. Most of the soldiers stationed here were lost in the blink of an eye.
Occasionally, even huge flying fish flew out of the sea and jumped directly into the group of soldiers from the water, causing even greater commotion.
In such a chaotic situation, no one would notice that three birds quietly opened the window and got into the temple.
"Bang!"
As soon as the three white doves entered the temple, Rhine released the transformation magic, allowing the three to restore their original shapes in a cloud of mist.
"Strange, isn't this a wedding venue? Why is it empty!" Aurora exclaimed.
The temple, which was supposed to be bustling, was empty.
On the altar, the fragrant oil in the expensive oil lamp was still burning, and the golden light illuminated the temple at night, but no one was here.
Now, the bride and groom, the priests, the playing band and other nobles are all trapped in a world replicated by the full-length mirror!
——And the full-length mirror had naturally been moved away by the old witch and hidden in a secret place. Lest someone breaks the mirror and frees Prince Eric.
"Sure enough, it's not here."
Rhine was not surprised at all when he saw such a scene.
Obviously, the old witch from Ender was involved in the whole plan.
As the number one witch in Ender, her magical attainments definitely surpass the Violet Fairy, who is the head of the 12 good witches in the Rose Kingdom, and she will definitely set up many obstacles.
