Chapter 2249 The Uncrowned King
The gondola traveled through the floating clouds.
It had been half an hour since they left the Malaya Iceberg. Looking back at the road they had come from, they could no longer see the vast iceberg. Only a few water creatures jumped out from the azure ocean below from time to time, telling them that they had not left the range of the Malaya Iceberg.
Angel sat on the edge of the boat, and the information that Frost Iser told him was still echoing in his mind.
"Naimeicui..." Angel muttered the name in his heart.
After a while, Angel sat up, pointed his finger at the void, and the illusion nodes lingering on his fingertips quickly constructed an illusion in front of him.
It was a parchment map with frayed edges.
The map divided each extreme environment of the main continent of the Tide Realm into regions, and in each region, a simple outline of an elemental creature was used.
This was exactly the Tide Realm map drawn by Feng.
In fact, Angel had not seen this map for a long time, because he had wise men from various realms to guide him along the way, and later he also subdued Lobel, who was very familiar with the topography of the Tidal Realm, and was much more reliable than Feng's half-baked map drawing level.
At this time, the reason why Angel took out this map again was because he remembered what Frost Iser said to him in the ice room
"Nymetic is the true embodiment of nature. Compared with the current monarch of the Green Forest, Maoye Groot, it is more respected by the servants of nature. Moreover, Nymetic is an uncrowned king."
Angel: "What is an uncrowned king?"
Frost Iser stood up from the throne and pointed to the mural that Feng had painted for it on the ice wall: "This is the uncrowned king."
Later, Angel learned that when Feng first arrived in the Tidal Realm, he had traveled to various regions and painted a picture for the king of each region at that time.
The king here refers to the ruler of the current time and region. For example, the ruler of the Fireland at that time was Xinhuo Xiluya, and Frost Iser of the Maraya Iceberg.
Almost the entire Tide Realm followed this rule, with the exception of the Green Forest.
At that time, the king of the Green Forest was Xingmu Wood, but the painting that Feng left in the Green Forest was not of His Highness Xingmu, but of... Namite Cui.
So, although Namite Cui has no prefix title, the murals left by Feng represent its presence.
It is the true uncrowned king of the Green Forest.
"Moreover, in terms of individual strength, it may also be the uncrowned king of all elemental creatures in the Tide Realm."
This sentence was also said by Frost Iser. Although there is no direct evidence, there is no doubt that Namite Cui's strength, which can be affirmed by Frost Iser, is at least the top of the pyramid, even if it is not the "uncrowned king" of the Tide Realm.
You know, when Mr. Magu mentioned Namite Cui, he was a little apprehensive, which can be seen.
Because of his curiosity about Naimeicui, Angell used illusion to present the map drawn by Feng.
Since Frost Iser said that the painting Feng left in the Green Forest was for Naimeicui. Then, Naimeicui should also be on the corresponding map.
Angell wanted to see what kind of image this praised and feared Naimeicui looked like?
Angell compared the map and began to look for the location of the Green Forest.
The map drawn by Feng had various proportions and shapes, but fortunately, through the images of the monarchs in various regions, Angell still locked the Green Forest.
When he saw the elemental creatures corresponding to the Green Forest on the map, Angell was stunned.
Although the elemental creatures on the map are basically simple strokes, compared with the paintings of other regions, the Green Forest can no longer be called simple strokes, but simple.
A emerald green and curved line.
If Angell had not observed carefully, there were two tiny yellow dots at the front end of this emerald green line. He might have thought that this was a continuous stroke that Feng did not pay attention to when drawing the map.
Two more yellow dots added the finishing touch to this line.
Angel could see that it was a snake, or a snake-like creature.
"Nai Mei Cui, known as the incarnation of nature, turned out to be a snake?" Angel thought to himself. This was quite rare. Almost all the monarchs he met along the way were humanoid or had human appearance.
Of course, this was just a transformation, which could be changed. But it can also be seen that the human form is quite popular among elemental monarchs.
Nai Mei Cui is the only pure beast-like creature without any human features.
"This is very special... but it's not necessarily the case. After all, so many years have passed, and Nai Mei Cui may have changed her image."
Angel thought, maybe he could ask Lobel, who said that he had visited most of the Tidal Realm and might have seen Nai Mei Cui.
Angel raised his head and looked at Lobel outside the gondola.
This look made Angel raise his eyebrows. Lobel did not fly around the gondola as it did in the past, but hooked its long tail on the edge of the boat and used the power of the gondola to carry it.
Lobel himself fell into silence.
This silence did not mean that Lobel did not speak, but that its three heads whispered to each other, as if they were having a private meeting, but their conversation was wrapped in the wind and did not leak out at all.
From the arguing expressions of the main head, the deputy head, and the tail head, it can be seen that their conversation was still very intense.
I just don't know what it's talking about.
"Speaking of silence... After leaving the Malaya Iceberg, my ears seem to be much quieter." When Angel thought about this, he turned his head and looked around.
Su Ling was still attached to the gondola, working tirelessly as a driving force. It was normal for it to be silent.
Cubig didn't flap its wings and fly in the air, but landed on the table, with its small front hooves supporting its pink head, and its eyes were blank. I don't know what it's thinking, but Angel always feels that there seem to be many question marks around its head.
And Dangros, the source of the noise on weekdays, didn't say anything at this time, and didn't even look at Toby like a pervert like before, but leaned on the table, lowered his eyes, and looked tangled.
It can be said that in the whole gondola, except for Angel, the only one who was the same as before was Toby. Toby was hiding in Angel's pocket, rustling and taking clothes out of the Snow Feather, and completely used Angel's pocket as a fitting room to try on different clothes.
"What happened today? All of the elemental creatures are worried for a while?" Angel looked puzzled.
Angel pondered for a moment, tapped the edge of the boat with his knuckles, and the energy ripples instantly reached Lobel's tail hanging on the edge of the boat.
Lobel's three heads froze instantly, turned stiffly, and looked at Angel.
"My lord." After a mysterious silence, the tail spoke first.
Angel: "You seem to be communicating very intensely, what are you discussing?"
The tail head hesitated for a while, looked at each other with the main head and the deputy head, and then said: "Actually, we are..."
As the tail head spoke, Angel realized that the three heads of Lobel were talking about the Shadow Box Trilogy that they had watched in the Ice Palace before.
Each part of the Shadow Box Trilogy gave them a great shock; especially the third part "The Possibility of the Future of the Tide World", which gave them an unimaginable impact.
"My lord, will humans definitely enter the Tide World?" The main head couldn't help asking.
Angel glanced at it and didn't answer. The answer to this question has been clearly stated in the trilogy, and it was just asking nonsense.
Seeing that Angel ignored it, the main head lowered his head a little embarrassedly.
The main leader was silent, but the deputy leader asked again: "My lord, is it good or bad for elemental creatures for humans to enter the tidal world?"
Angel: "It's good and bad. But whether it's good or bad, the decision is not in your hands, so you don't have to care."
As if it was agreed, the tail leader also said at this time: "After reading "The Possibility of the Future of the Tidal World", I have always wanted to know... Are you going to accept us as elemental partners?"
When the tail leader finished speaking, Cubig on the other side also pricked up his ears. From this, it can be seen that Cubig's previous silence was probably also thinking about issues related to the trilogy.
Faced with the tail leader's question, Angel asked back: "Do you want me to answer yes or no?"
The tail leader was silent, but from its eyes, Angel saw obvious resistance.
This reaction was also expected by Angel. After all, his first encounter with this group of wind creatures was not pleasant at all.
Angel didn't care either. He himself had never thought of accepting this group of wind creatures who signed the oath as elemental partners.
"Since I said we'll sign a twenty-year oath, I won't consider other situations. After twenty years, you'll be free." After Angel finished speaking, he ended the topic directly.
"You should have been to the Blue Forest, right? Have you seen Namite Cui?" Angel asked.
Although the tail head was still immersed in his previous thoughts, facing Angel's question, it immediately put away its impetuous thoughts and began to talk carefully.
After a few minutes, the tail head stopped.
According to the tail head's narration, Angel learned that when Lobel traveled to the Tide Realm, he had indeed been to the Blue Forest, but he had not seen Namite Cui.
Lobel actually wanted to meet this legendary existence, but something happened later that made him give up this idea.
Namite Cui is located in a remote forest in the Blue Forest. At that time, Lobel was ready to go to the forest, but before he got close, he was swept away by a terrifying pressure.
Lobel later inquired and found out that it was a warning from Namite Cui to those who broke into the forest.
Because the pressure at that time brought a deep shock to Lobel, it was a horror that he had never felt before, so he never dared to think of seeing Namite Cui again.
Moreover, according to Lobel, not only he could not see Namite Cui, but other elemental creatures in the Blue Forest could hardly see Namite Cui either.
Even in the mouths of some new elves in the Blue Forest, the deeds related to "Namite Cui" have become legends. They have only heard of it, but have never seen it.
From this, it can be seen that Namite Cui is not only powerful, but also very mysterious and low-key.
This also explains why the elemental monarchs and wise men in other regions do not know much about Namite Cui, because Namite Cui has not appeared for a long time.
"It seems that if you want to know whether Namite Cui's true body is a snake, you can only know it by going to the Blue Forest." Angel thought to himself.
After sending Lobel aside, Angel also stopped exploring Namite Cui.
After putting away the illusion map, Angel said hello to Toby, secretly communicated with Ermi to ask it to be on guard, and then entered his daily meditation time.
Because he was in meditation, Angel didn't notice that Dangros on the table raised his "head" with a tangled face, as if he had made a decision, and his eyes slowly looked at... Angel.
Three hours later, Angel woke up from meditation.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a palm appeared in front of him. Angel subconsciously waved his palm and slapped it out of the flying boat.
After waving it out, Angel realized that the palm had eyebrows and eyes, and it seemed to be Dangros?
Angel quickly leaned against the edge of the boat and looked down.
The force just now seemed to have slapped Dangros down. It was an elemental creature... Even if it fell from a thousand meters high, it should be fine, right? However, there was a sea below...
When Angel thought about this, he saw a gust of wind rising from below.
Along with the arrival of the wind, there was also a scream.
Looking closely, he found a hand made of wind, gently holding Dangros. Dangros didn't realize that he was being lifted up, and was still howling.
It was not until the Hand of Wind put Dangros on the flying boat that it looked around blankly.
What? Didn't it fall? It thought it was going to fall into the sea and become the first fire elf to be drowned.
While Dangros was rejoicing, Angel said to the Hand of Wind outside the boat, "Thank you for your help."
The Hand of Wind swayed left and right, and then disappeared.
"What was that just now?" Dangros also stood up at this time.
"Speed Spirit, it saved you, you should thank it." Angel said casually, "Speed Spirit is currently serving me, so it can be considered that I saved you, you should thank me too."
Dangros subconsciously wanted to thank him, but just after he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something: "It was you who took me down!"
Angel said calmly: "I saw you when I opened my eyes, who knows if you are going to attack me, so I have to strike first."
Dangros: "I didn't want to attack you, I wanted to... I wanted to..."
Seeing that Dangros suddenly lowered his head, Angel raised his eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"
After a long while, Dangros stammered: "I want to say... thank you to you."
"See, you still have to thank me." Angel smiled softly.
Dangros: "That's different. You were the one who took the photo of me just now, so I won't thank you for it."
Angel raised his eyebrows and said, "So you want to thank me now?"
Danggros hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm thanking you for what happened on the Malaya Glacier before."
