Chapter 2725 Turmoil
When I think of that huge, bottomless mouth like a black hole, I shudder from the bottom of my heart.
Could they be the ones who emerged from the water and swallowed the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar and the accompanying dragons?
After shuddering, I looked at the little lantern and asked my doubts.
Little Lantern shook his head: "I heard from grandma that they never leave their own territory and will only swim quietly in the deepest trench."
"How do they solve the food problem?"
Little Lantern shook his head harder: "Grandma didn't tell me, and I don't know either."
Holding her head down and shaking her head, I said, "Will those vicious sea monsters surface?"
Now the little lantern nodded: "Yes, they will suddenly surface and swallow the sailing ships, the sailors on the ships, and even the birds rowing across the sea!"
It seems that what swallowed the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar and the others was not the most powerful sea monster, but a group of notorious guys.
I wonder if Tyrannosaurus King Bakar and other giant dragons can accept this truth.
While I was listening to the little lantern telling the legend of the deep sea monster, there was a sudden knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw it was the palace guard.
Feeling puzzled, he followed the guards into the palace and came to the main hall. He found that the two majesties and the elders had all arrived. He suddenly felt that something was not good. He coughed lightly and immediately returned to his place.
Seeing everyone gathered, the Elf Queen said: "I summoned you all suddenly to discuss two important matters. First, the Airui City army continues to dig out the source of the disaster. I want to hear your opinions on this matter."
"Back to Your Majesty." Elder Priscilla spoke first and said, "The veteran believes that there are two possibilities for Airui City's move. First, Carter Horton really wants to expel the disaster and wants to dig out the source of the disaster. , get to the source of the disaster and eradicate it in one fell swoop.”
The Elf Queen nodded slightly.
"Second, he wanted to divert the disaster to the east, sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers, and lead the disaster to Dashai City. He would use the power of the disaster to weaken the strength of Dashai City. When the disaster was eradicated, it would become Dashai City. The day the country was destroyed.”
"What Elder Priscilla said makes sense," the Elf Queen said solemnly, and then, her gaze swept across the audience: "What about other people, do you have any different opinions?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I believe that Carter Horton's move is very different from his usual style of doing things!" Elder Mai Sonoda bowed his head slightly and said loudly: "Therefore, I do not agree with the words of the great elder."
"Oh?" The Elf Queen looked at Elder Sonoda Mai, her eyes slightly softened, and asked softly: "Does Elder Sonoda Mai have any suggestions?"
"Takashi is beyond the pale," Elder Mai Sonoda said, "Speaking of which, the veteran and Carter Horton are old rivals. They have fought against each other no less than a dozen times in large and small battles. The veteran boasts that he knows a little about him. , this person has a kind face but a cruel heart, hides a knife in his smile, hides selfishness everywhere, and is very precious about his life. He does not seem to be able to sacrifice himself and take the overall situation into consideration. Furthermore, although he likes to gamble, he never gambles with his life, which will lead to misfortune. It is true that he can do what he wants, but disaster is not a disaster that can be directed. If he is not careful, it may come back to the city of Airui, and he will never be able to do such a risk-taking act of risking his life."
The Elf Queen nodded repeatedly, but before she could speak, Elder Priscilla asked first, "How did Elder Mai Sonoda know that he was unwilling to gamble his life?"
Elder Mai Sonoda snorted and said, "If he was willing to gamble, he would have died twenty years ago."
The sound was not loud, but it filled the hall with deathly silence. Even Elder Priscilla couldn't help but remain silent.
On the throne, the Elf Queen was meditating, thinking about how to speak next. The Elf Queen on the side gently put her hand on the back of her hand and said calmly: "The words of Elder Priscilla are based on the overall situation, and the words of Elder Mai Sonoda are based on the people's hearts. , all are desirable, and none are desirable.”
"No matter what purpose Carter Holden has, his essence will not change. One is speculation, and the other is ulterior motives. Elder Priscilla must remember this."
Elder Priscilla bowed and said, "I obey."
"Although the essence remains unchanged, people's hearts are easy to change. If someone can really convince Carter Horton, then it is not impossible to make a big gamble once in a while. Elder Mai Sonoda must not take this seriously."
"I know I was wrong."
Elder Mai Sonoda was unwilling, but had to admit his mistake.
"Right now, there is no doubt that Airui City has led an army to attack the source of disaster. So, why he would send people to do this? This is the key to the matter. As for whether the source of disaster will break out, we can only do our best and listen to fate."
"Your Majesty," Elder Jennifer, who was almost silent, suddenly said: "Do you want to ask the high priest to assist in divination?"
"High Priest, forget it, she is not in a good situation now. If you ask her to come forward rashly, it will be a coercion. Moreover, there is no way to avoid disaster. What should come will always come. All we can do is to prepare it in advance. Countermeasures will be taken to prevent possible disasters outside the country."
The elders stood up and said, "Here."
The Elf Queen cleared her throat softly and continued: "Then, the second thing is that recently, the ghost train has appeared on the sea again."
"Didn't you say it had disappeared before?" Elder Lindsay asked in surprise: "Why did it suddenly appear again? Could it be that there is someone behind the ghost train controlling it?"
The Elf Queen did not deny it, but she did not agree with it either. She continued calmly: "Whether someone is controlling it or not has not yet been determined, but the hidden dangers it brings are fatal."
With a sigh, she clapped her hands, and a waiter came out from the back hall on one side, holding a tray with a stack of documents on it.
Each of the elders took a copy, took the document in their hands, and looked at it carefully. Soon, the faces of several elders turned gloomy in unison, including me.
The document does not contain any horrifying tragedy. On the contrary, it is just an ordinary statistical table. Only some numbers are simply recorded on the table, but we all know the meaning of these numbers - they are , meaning the number of people abducted by the ghost train during this period of time.
Although the number of people marked in the upper half is small, it is painted in a very eye-catching red color. Although the number of people marked in the lower half is large, it is painted in a gray color that is not eye-catching but extremely gloomy.
I know that the number in the upper half is the number of missing members of the royal family, while the number in the lower half is the number of missing ordinary civilians.
And I know better that the reason why the form is marked like this is for one purpose - to warn the elders that this matter has attracted the attention of the royal family and nobles, and the repercussions are extremely strong. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause a There was turmoil that shouldn't have happened.
Even mutiny.
