Chapter 2374 The Dangerous Seabed

Early the next morning, I rushed to the palace holding a water jar with a small lantern in it.

Along the way, I attracted countless attention, which made me quite embarrassed.

The little lantern didn't care at all. Instead, it widened its eyes, looked around curiously, and greeted some children from time to time.

Since Little Lantern belongs to outsiders, they should be routinely searched before entering the palace. However, due to my appearance, the guard at the gate neither dared to search me rashly nor let me go openly, and looked at me with a troubled expression.

"Search it," I said, "Follow the procedure."

Seeing that I relented, the two guards quickly thanked me, then approached the mouth of the jar, looked inside for a few times, made a gesture, and quickly let me go.

Walking around the palace holding a can was more embarrassing than walking outside on the street.

Although there are many residents on the street, it is only after five o'clock after all. Most of the elves and goblins have not left their houses, so the sights they cast are quite sparse. However, it is different in the palace. It is after five o'clock, and there are already many people. It was time for the maids and guards to get busy. Groups of maids were constantly coming and going. When they saw me holding a jar, in which lived a little girl with fish fins and ears, they all cast curious glances. Finally, He would also give me an ambiguous smile, obviously connecting me with some powerful people with special quirks.

Isn’t this discrediting me?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get angry.

At this time, the two queens were having tea in the back garden of the palace. Their daily routines were very regular. They went to bed early, got up early, and had the habit of drinking morning tea every morning. It is said that it can cure diseases and nourish the skin.

I don't know whether it will cure the disease or not, but it is certain to maintain the beauty. Look at the Fairy Queen's skin as delicate as a baby, she must have taken good care of it, but I don't know how much of the effect of this morning tea is.

I put the jar to the side of the stone table, rubbed my stiff wrist, took the tea cup from the Elf Queen, drank it all in one gulp, said "Shuang", picked up the teapot again, and poured myself a few sips. cup.

I was enjoying my drink when I suddenly noticed someone touching my back. I turned my head suspiciously and saw the little lantern looking at me eagerly. Seeing me looking at her, she stretched out her green-white finger and pointed at the tea cup in my hand.

Oh, it turns out she is thirsty too.

However, isn't there a lot of water in the jar, and it's all fresh hot spring water. Just lean over and you can drink it!

With this thought in my mind, I handed over the teacup, picked up the teapot, and filled it up for her.

After drinking the last drop of tea juice in the teapot in one breath, Little Lantern finally smiled with satisfaction. She handed the tea cup back to me, saluted to the two Queens, and said: "Hello, my name is Little Lantern. .”

The two queens, who had been watching with laughter, introduced themselves to the little lantern respectively, but the little lantern was so shocked that he was speechless.

After a while, Little Lantern murmured: "Are you two the emperors of this country?"

The Fairy Queen laughed and said: "Compared with your Naga emperor, our territory is much smaller."

"Although you are small, you control abundant resources and huge wealth, which is unmatched by our Naga clan."

"It may seem like this, but the truth is not." The Fairy Queen said: "The ocean is vast and boundless, with countless products in it, and countless resources hidden under it, but you don't dig and mine it. That’s all.”

"No, it's not what you said." Little Lantern shook his head repeatedly and said, "The sea is very dangerous. Even if there are countless resources under the stone layer, you still have to work hard to exploit them."

"Oh?" The Elf Queen asked curiously, "How do you say this?"

The little lantern's expression was extremely serious, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. If you don't leave the water, you will die. We, the Naga clan, have come to live on land a long time ago. Who would like the dangerous world under the sea!"

"Dangerous?" The Elf Queen became even more curious: "What kind of dangerous method?"

"There are many sea monsters and countless ferocious beasts, and each overlord is king of the territory. If you step from one overlord's territory to another overlord's territory and are discovered by the patrolling adventurers, you will be fiercely pursued. kill!"

After hearing this, the Elf Queen sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that the living environment in the underwater world would be so bad."

"Yes, Your Majesty," said the little lantern, "that's why our ancestors formed an alliance with the goblins and elves and became the closest friends. But I don't know what happened later. The ancestors suddenly returned to the ocean collectively and set up rules. It prohibits us from communicating with humans on the surface, and describes humans on the surface as terrifying monsters that can eat people.”

At this point, she paused, and then said: "Originally, I thought the ancestors' description might be correct, but after meeting you, I suddenly felt that the ancestors' words were wrong. Not only did you not hurt me, but you also gave me It was delicious, delicious, fun, and I made a lot of new friends.”

The more she talked, the happier she became, and she kept chirping like a little sparrow.

When she said her mouth was dry, I continued to pour her new tea and told her to drink it happily.

The Fairy Queen smiled and said: "It seems that you like your current life very much."

"Yes," the little lantern said seriously, "I like it very much."

"If you like it, stay here. I can grant you permanent residency and grant you Moonlight City citizenship."

The little lantern was confused when he heard this, and had no idea what the Fairy Queen meant by these words.

I quickly reminded in a low voice: "Thank you quickly."

"Thank you for what?" Little Lantern looked at me blankly with a confused face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," I said, sweating profusely, "Oh, just do as I say."

The little lantern nodded ignorantly, followed suit, bowed to Her Majesty the Queen, and stiffly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen."

The two queens couldn't help but smile.

The Elf Queen scolded me and said, "You are using the etiquette of a courtier to express gratitude. Little Lantern is a commoner, so he should use the etiquette of a commoner to express gratitude."

I scratched my head and said awkwardly: "How do I understand this?"

"So, it doesn't need to be so complicated. Just nod."

After the Elf Queen finished speaking, the Fairy Queen looked at the little lantern seriously for several minutes, staring at it until the little lantern felt uncomfortable. Then she said: "While giving you the identity, I hope you can help with something." thing."

Although the little lantern is simple, he is not stupid. He understands some hints immediately and expresses his position quickly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely try my best to persuade the tribe and let them convey your wish to form an alliance to my king."

"It seems that Xiaoyi made his words very clear." The Fairy Queen nodded and said, "But I would like to add one more thing. Please tell your king that I very much hope to have a meeting with him."
