"Anger, hatred, and finally a complete break with the demon race, a fight to the death." The mermaid queen's expression changed slightly. She was never short of people with their own agendas, so she was the one who understood people's hearts best in the world.
Not everyone in the world is rational; many people are swayed by various emotions and make irrational decisions.
Perhaps some people knew the truth at first, but once more people believed that the demon race was behind it, the few who were clear-headed could no longer reverse the situation.
Furthermore, there are many unscrupulous individuals who will undoubtedly stir up trouble in the shadows, so the relationship between the sea race and the demon race will likely be swept up by the masses and slide into the abyss.
"Then what should we do now?" the Mermaid Queen suggested. "Why don't we tell the Dragon King so that he can take precautions?"
Zuan shook his head slightly: "There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Besides, the sea tribe is so huge that it's impossible to guard against them all. It's also easy to arouse their vigilance in advance. The only thing we need to do now is wait. As long as Mogad takes any action, he will leave traces. Then we can follow the clues to rescue Princess Peacock."
“Okay.” The Mermaid Queen agreed with this statement.
With the matter of Princess Peacock settled, an eerie silence suddenly fell over the room.
She really wanted to ask Zuan about his background, even if he wouldn't tell her, just to let her see what he really was like.
But she dared not bring it up. Although she did not know what the other person was worried about, she knew that if she made such a request, it would only drive the other person away.
Of course, she wouldn't fall in love with him in such a short time, but over the years, she had never been so curious about a man, nor had she ever felt so insecure about a man.
Fortunately, Zuan spoke up at this moment: "By the way, when I came to the Sea Clan before, I passed by an underwater mountain range. There seemed to be a bottomless trench abyss there, and there were many dragons guarding the area. The various defensive formations seemed to be several levels higher than the defenses of this Dragon Palace."
The mermaid queen breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the two would run out of things to talk about and fall into silence, eventually having to part ways. Now that they had something to talk about, there was still a chance: "That is the eye of our East Sea."
"The Sea Eye?" Zu An's heart skipped a beat; he had heard many legends about the Sea Eye.
In the myths I heard on Earth in my previous life, there was a sea eye deep in the ocean. After the Great Emperor Yu controlled the floods, he used an iron rod that could extend and retract at will to measure the water level and threw it into the East Sea to suppress the sea eye. Later, Sun Wukong was looking for a suitable weapon. He went to the Dragon Palace and made a ruckus. He took out that iron rod and used it as his weapon, which is the famous Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel).
But shouldn't that abyss in this world be the entrance to the underworld? How could it be the eye of the sea?
Seemingly noticing his confusion, the Mermaid Queen explained, "Actually, I don't know exactly what's in the eye of the sea. It's a top-secret forbidden area for the sea tribes throughout history, and no one is allowed to approach or explore it. However, I have learned through some channels that it is very likely that the most evil and filthy things in the world are suppressed inside. The sea tribes have guarded it for generations to prevent those filthy and evil things from coming out and causing havoc on the world."
Zuan pondered inwardly. The abyss connected to the Netherworld, and it was indeed plausible to call the evil spirits there filthy and wicked.
But does the underworld of this world actually have those gods and ghosts on duty?
Seeing his pensive expression, the Mermaid Queen suddenly became a little nervous: "You didn't come here just for the sea eye, did you?"
Seeing her tense and anxious expression, Zu An chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it. That's not why I came here."
"You're not lying to me?" the mermaid queen asked again for confirmation.
"Of course I'm not lying to you."
"You fooled me so badly before, I don't even dare to believe what you say is true anymore."
"..."
Zuan was also a little embarrassed. He had indeed fooled the other party before, and the key was that he had made her act alone for so long. If he were in her shoes, he would definitely be embarrassed to death.
Cherry, who was standing next to her, barely managed to stop laughing. She watched coldly and probably figured out what was going on.
Previously, the Queen had disguised herself as a maid named Suyin, thinking she could easily control the other party, only to later discover that she was the clown.
Over the years, I've only ever seen the Queen manipulate those poor suitors, but this is the first time I've seen her so pathetically manipulated by a man.
It really takes a more powerful man to keep our queen in check. I'm getting more and more into this pair.
Sensing the change in the maid's expression, the Mermaid Queen glared at her threateningly before saying to Zu'an, "Since we're waiting for news from Princess Peacock, you can stay with me for the time being. I suppose you don't know anyone else in the Dragon Palace."
She never called him by his name because she knew that the Eddie Peng was a fake.
If he is unwilling, continuing to press him will only yield lies.
Zuan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay."
Firstly, they did need a place to stay while waiting for news;
Secondly, after today's interaction, I understand that the Mermaid Queen is a superstar of popularity in the entire sea race, and powerful figures from all sides like to get close to her in an attempt to gain even a little bit of her favor.
This means that she will inevitably be surrounded by a hub of information, which will make her investigations into the whereabouts of the Aurora Dragon or the Sea Eye much easier.
Next, the Mermaid Queen instructed Cherry to find a superior room for Zaun to rest in.
Throughout this, Cherry kept secretly glancing at Zuan's face, and Zuan couldn't help but complain, "You keep staring at me, is there something on my face?"
"The Queen said this isn't your true appearance. I just wanted to see what kind of mask was so amazing that I couldn't see any flaws at all," Cherry said bluntly.
