Even the Mermaid Queen became curious: "I've heard that your Holy Maiden is extremely skilled in warfare, and every battle she leads is invincible?"
Princess Peacock shook her head slightly: "Although it's not very nice to say it like this, the Holy Maiden is actually not very good at the specific affairs of the army. However, she is extremely good at seeing the trend of things and is very popular. In addition, with the help of her expertise in array runes, she has been able to lead everyone to victory after victory."
Zuan wasn't surprised. The Lord of Slaughter was sealed by an array, so it would be strange if Mikado Baiqing didn't understand arrays.
The Mermaid Queen couldn't help but sigh, "To be able to unite one's subordinates is already a standard that most famous generals can achieve, not to mention that she has so many outstanding abilities. She is truly an extraordinary woman. I really want to meet her if I have the chance."
Princess Peacock also smiled and said, "Actually, the Holy Maiden is quite interested in you, Queen. She even inquired about your name before. She even pointed out that you should be someone she could win over, and it turned out to be just as she predicted."
"Huh?" The Mermaid Queen was a little stunned. Since the other party even had to ask her name, it was obvious that they didn't know her. So how did they know that she was trustworthy?
Zuan then spoke up, "Princess, please rest here for a few days. After I finish dealing with matters concerning the Sea Clan, I will return to the Demon Clan with you. I also have some matters I would like to discuss with your Holy Maiden."
He was very curious about how the historical Mikado Baiharu knew him and why he left behind such images.
Of course, he first needed to get the sea creatures to agree to an alliance with the demon race. At the same time, he also wanted to go to the so-called sea eye to see if it was the Netherworld.
He wondered if it was due to the difference in time and space, but he found that although the Netherworld Life and Death Ceremony was still there, many of its functions seemed to be unusable.
For example, it's no longer possible to directly enter the underworld.
Upon hearing his words, Princess Peacock's eyes lit up: "Great! Great!"
If we could bring back such a powerful being, the demon race might have hope, and the Holy Maiden would probably be very happy.
Cherry, standing to the side, couldn't help but pout slightly, thinking that the Queen had made a mistake. She had gone to so much trouble to save him, only to have him stolen away by her. Why didn't the Queen say anything?
At this moment, the Mermaid Queen was deep in thought, pondering whether she should take this opportunity to visit the demon race, given that she had long been acquainted with the holy goddess and was very curious about her.
But what if he misunderstands and thinks I'm determined to follow him?
Being so proactive does indeed lower one's status, but...
The thought that the other person belonged to another time and space, and that she might never see them again after this separation, made her feel choked up.
Meanwhile, in a secluded coral reef cave outside the Dragon Palace, Morgad was meditating and cultivating while listening to information brought by a man in black.
"Oh, that guy actually used such an absurd reason to break my plan?" Mogard opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock and speechlessness.
The man in black said in a deep voice, "It's really outrageous. The key is that I didn't expect the Mermaid Queen to risk ruining her reputation to act like this with him."
His tone was tinged with jealousy and sourness.
Morgard wasn't particularly interested in the mature and beautiful mermaid queen; he was more concerned with another question: "Who exactly is that guy? What race is he?"
"I don't know. The Dragon King of the East Sea asked him before, but he didn't answer. Now everyone is speculating about that person's identity," the man in black replied.
"Could it be that even the Mermaid Queen doesn't know? Why not arrest her and interrogate her?" Although the Mermaid Queen wasn't Morgard's type, he acknowledged her stunning beauty. How could such a beautiful woman, willing to sacrifice her reputation for cooperation, not know her identity?
The man in black smiled wryly and said, "Judging from all the signs, the Mermaid Queen really doesn't know."
"So mysterious?" Mogard snorted. "It seems he really did come from some unknown world. Let's ignore him for now. Since the previous plan failed, let's activate the backup plan."
The man in black hesitated upon hearing this: "Do we really have to do that? There will be no turning back then. What if the situation gets out of control..."
Moghad gave him a cold look: "Do you think we can't protect you?"
The man in black hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "I wouldn't dare."
"Just go and do it, we'll take care of anything that happens."
"yes!"
"By the way, has the Dragon Palace suspected you?" Morgard suddenly asked.
The man in black smiled wickedly: "Don't worry, I arranged a scapegoat beforehand, so they won't be able to find me."
"Okay, you need to be careful. This plan can't have any problems."
"Absolutely no problem!"
...
In the days that followed, under the leadership of the Mermaid Queen, Zaun negotiated with various factions of the sea race regarding an alliance with the demon race.
Everyone said on the surface that it was negotiable, but they never formally agreed, which clearly felt like they were just stalling and making excuses.
Back at her residence, Princess Peacock complained angrily, "These aren't sea creatures at all; they're clearly from the Qingqiu Clan. They're all more cunning than old foxes."
After saying that, she suddenly realized something and said apologetically to the Mermaid Queen, "Sister Gong, I wasn't talking about you, don't mind me."
The Mermaid Queen naturally wouldn't stoop to his level. She looked at Zuan with a complicated expression: "Do you know why they've always refused to agree?"
"Because of my identity." Zuan's voice was somewhat bitter.
In fact, the sea tribe was naturally happy for a powerful figure like him to act as a middleman to organize the event.
But he was too mysterious. No one knew his identity, what he looked like, or anything about him. It was really hard for everyone to decide to believe him.
Zaun was also quite helpless. He couldn't just reveal his identity like that, leave a mark on history, and affect the entire timeline.
Just then, the Mermaid Queen's expression suddenly changed, and with a wave of her hand, several conch shells she carried floated around her.
Each one was trembling violently. The Mermaid Queen's expression turned grave: "This is the highest level of alarm!"
She didn't delay any longer and closed her eyes to listen to the special sounds coming from the conch shell.
But she quickly opened her eyes, her face filled with fear: "There's something wrong with the sea eye!"
"Sea Eye?"
Princess Peacock was taken aback; she was unaware of the secrets of the sea tribe.
Zuan, however, knew that the Eye of the Sea was heavily guarded, so how could there be a problem? "Could it be that Morgad has broken in?"
The Mermaid Queen quickly explained, "The specific situation is still unclear. It seems that there is a loophole in the formation of the sea eye. Now, a continuous stream of death energy is spreading out, and many dragons guarding there have been corrupted by the death energy and lost their vitality."
“I’ll go take a look.” Zuan quickly got up.
The Mermaid Queen hesitated: "That place is a forbidden area for the sea creatures. Normally, only dragons are allowed to approach it. The Dragon King will not allow it."
"Don't worry, I won't let him find out." The situation over there must be a mess right now, and since I'm intentionally hiding, I don't need to worry about being discovered.
The Mermaid Queen also stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"
