The Upper Town people live on the ocean and need to breathe air to survive.
And the people of Downtown who live in the ocean.
This ironclad rule applies to all sea cities.
"The Pact of the Ocean is the very foundation of the control over the people of the sea."
In the City of the Sea, there is a clear hierarchy.
The Pact with the Ocean will gradually assimilate humanity into a part of the ocean.
And these sea people who have merged with the ocean can no longer escape the ocean, nor can they escape the sea city.
High-level controllers use the Ocean Pact to control lower-level sea peoples, while even higher-level controllers use the Ocean Pact to control lower-level controllers.
The lowest rank in the Sea City is the Sea People of the Upper District.
They lived in that area and were guarded by guards in each area.
The guards can control the sea people who possess the Ocean Pact through the warning stars.
This is also why Viktor said that only those who accept the Pact of the Sea are allowed to enter the Sea City.
Because those in control can rest assured that outsiders will definitely be under their control.
Someone like Victor, who doesn't have the Ocean Pact, would naturally be considered a heretic upon entering.
They were met with resistance and hostility from the people of the sea.
Vega, his voice hoarse, began to speak:
"So, what are you going to do now?"
What it refers to is, of course, asking how to summon Dozale.
Viktor touched the white mist and smiled faintly:
“I brought Henney here, not just so she could wander around.”
...
Countless sea creatures knelt beside Heni, hoping she would lead them to complete the offering.
Hene felt only helplessness; she couldn't understand what these people meant by 'offering'.
She could only speak and ask the crowd:
"What exactly is this offering...?"
Someone looked up, pointed at the water flowing in Henne's hand, and slowly spoke;
"Lord of the City, may we become one with the ocean."
Hene looked at the [Ocean Pact] swirling around her hand, her confusion growing.
At this moment, it seemed as if it sensed Heni's confusion.
The surrounding seawater suddenly surged.
The sea surface rose high, and the water flow quickly began to swirl and converge in the air.
A gate-like flow of water opened from both sides, and from the split water, countless icy guards emerged.
They huddled together, each holding a long, flowing water-based spear; they were burly and had extremely sharp eyes.
The guards moved to the sides and bowed in unison towards the center.
Hene looked curiously toward the center.
But all they saw was a very small, tiny fish.
The little fish seemed smaller than her palm, blowing bubbles on the surface of the sea, looking especially cute.
It seemed to notice Heni as well, and forcefully exhaled a bubble that was slightly larger than its body.
Then, it squeezed its body and entered the bubble.
It kept twisting its body and then floated in front of Henney.
The little fish noticed.
On Hene's arm was a new ocean pact.
It raised its head and looked at Henny again.
"Are you... new here?"
Before Hene could speak, it suddenly noticed six stars placed on Hene's chest.
Suddenly, Xiaoyu felt a little flustered.
Then, it narrowed its eyes and solemnly spoke to Heni:
"So, you're that Congressman Clavner from Parliament."
Hene panicked upon hearing this.
She was about to explain, but the little fish didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
"Although you are a member of parliament, I still want to say that your actions have violated our Sea City."
The little fish said without changing its expression:
"I think we should have signed a treaty with the City of Mages that prohibits any further conflict."
Hene opened her mouth:
"I……"
The little fish sighed and rested its forehead on its fin:
I'll just say it straight.
"What exactly do you want in order for me to return control of the Upper City?"
Henney was completely confused; her already dizzy head felt even heavier, and she said:
"I'm...I'm so sorry, I can't do that..."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding guards immediately raised their spears, their eyes filled with a chilling, poised-to-strike intent as they looked at Hennie.
The water flow on the arm and the spear gradually converged, and the entire spear began to tremble slightly.
The little fish stretched out its fins and blocked them.
It squinted and looked at Henny again:
"Member of Parliament".
“I don’t want to go to war with the Mage Council; I just want what belongs to us back.”
Hennie grew increasingly agitated as she listened, struggling to find the words to explain, yet her thoughts remained tangled and unorganized.
Little Fish's assertiveness and coercion left Heni at a loss.
Finally, the little fish burst forth, roared, and leaped into the ocean in an instant:
"The offerings must be made!"
The next second, the entire sea surface seemed to be shrouded in darkness, completely devoid of light.
As if summoned, countless schools of fish swarmed in from all directions, forming a huge school of fish that meandered up from the seabed.
Like a sea monster plunging into a giant wave, its colorful head emerges from the seabed.
Powered by the waves, a sea monster composed of a giant school of fish leaps out of the water.
It was like a mythical beast taking off, with countless schools of fish swirling and coiling in the sky, instantly enveloping the sea in silver waves.
