Chapter 226 Kidnapper

"Princess, please don't be willful."

"This is not willful! I know he wants to unify the underwater world and rebuild the glory of the Kingdom of Atlantis, but he is too impatient. He doesn't know how many people will die if he does this!"

"That's why you and your father's help is needed, Your Highness. As long as you can become the queen and unite with the Kingdom of Zebel, my king will definitely complete the unification of Atlantis!"

"Then let's wait until he really does it. I just want to be quiet here now!"

Mera said calmly, then turned around and was about to return to the tower.

But Vico sighed and gestured to his men beside him.

The men with special guns immediately surrounded Mera who was about to go back.

Vicco then said:

"Your Highness, you should have noticed that I brought many people here, so you should know that you have no right to refuse now."

"...Arthur won't let me go."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? My king likes you, so he plans to marry you."

"Lies!"

Mera suddenly became very angry, with a bit of grievance and anger in her eyes, and said excitedly:

"The person he loves has never been me!"

"...You will understand my king's intentions, Your Highness, please go back with us now."

Vicco didn't seem to want to say much to Mera, nodded to his men, and was about to take Mera away by force.

But just as the soldiers were about to take Mera away, the sea water suddenly rolled back in the seabed, and the ocean current became extremely turbulent.

Countless gravel and sand hit the submersible that stayed in front of the Leaning Tower with the rolling sea water, and also swept away all the soldiers there and Vicco himself.

The sea water became turbid, and also enveloped Mera's figure.

Mera, who was in the middle of it, saw this sudden change and subconsciously raised her hands to cast magic to calm the waves.

But suddenly, a hand stretched out from the turbid waterspout, grabbed Mera's wrist, and with a little force, dragged Mera into the waterspout.

"!?"

Mera was shocked when she was wrapped in the waterspout, but then she found that the violent sea water around her was as docile as a well-behaved animal.

The sea water was unusually calm where she was, in sharp contrast to the surging ocean currents outside.

"Hey, Princess, you shouldn't mind me suddenly appearing and taking you away, right?"

Before Mera could react, a slightly frivolous voice appeared beside her.

She turned her head and saw a familiar person:

"Is it you? The garbage collector that day?"

"......?"

Kevin, who "rescued" Mera, had a question mark on his head.

Garbage collector? A garbage collector who saw a ghost? ! Have you ever seen such a handsome man picking up garbage? !

Kevin, who was trying to show off, almost lost his expression at Mera's words.

Keep his emotions, Kevin said unhappily:

"What do you mean by a garbage collector? I... forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, I want to kidnap you now, you should have no objection, right?"

"?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Seeing that Mera didn't say anything, Kevin took it as Mera's consent to his "kidnapping invitation" and pulled Mera out of the waterspout with a little force.

Then he used his water control ability to control the waterspout to "throw" out a submersible, and Kevin and Mera entered it together, preparing to slip away with the submersible.

But when he entered the submersible, Kevin was in trouble when he looked at the buttons inside.

He had never driven this thing before, and he didn't know how to use it...

"The start button is here..."

Seeing Kevin sitting in a daze in the driver's seat, Mera hesitated and pointed her finger at a light curtain button in front of Kevin.

"Oh, thank you."

Kevin reached out and pressed the button, and the submersible really started. The following operation was no different from that of an ordinary automatic car.

Control the steering wheel, press the accelerator, and the submersible will fly out.

Feeling the push from the back, Kevin couldn't help but admire it.

This thing is indeed the technology of Atlantis, it runs fast.

Although it is a little slower than his speed underwater.

The submersible carrying the two people disappeared in a flash, and the waterspout that lost Kevin's control also calmed down under Vico's water magic.

When Vico saw the submersible disappear and Mera disappeared, he immediately lost his composure.

His handsome face was slightly distorted, and he shouted at his men without any image:

"What are you doing! The princess ran away! Hurry up and chase her!!!"

Then he said something that a general villain would say.

...

Atlantis' technology is not that complicated, at least the thing Kevin has robbed now is not that complicated.

A few buttons, plus a steering wheel that controls up, down, forward, backward, left, and right, any land dweller can easily control it.

This thing even has an automatic driving mode!

Free your hands after turning it on!

Kevin fiddled with the submersible, studying it in detail as if he had a new toy.

Mera, who was "kidnapped" by him, asked Kevin when she was sure that the pursuers had not arrived:

"Who are you?"

"Huh? Me?" Kevin looked at Mera: "Didn't I say that I'm just a passing traveler."

"A traveler can master such powerful water magic? Do you think I will believe it?"

"Then who do you think I am?"

After hearing what Mera said, Kevin asked her in return.

This question stumped Mera. She opened her mouth and shook her head:

"... I can't guess, but I know your identity must be extraordinary. Such powerful water magic is beyond the reach of my father's trident."

"If you can't guess, don't guess. Just treat me as a traveler and kidnap your kidnapper."

"Kidnap me... Do you know what you are talking about?" Mera frowned even deeper, and she whispered:

"You will be found by Arthur soon, and then taken back to be executed. Even if your water magic is powerful, Atlantis' technology is more powerful, and they have plenty of means to deal with water magic."

"Then don't let him find you."

Kevin said indifferently.

In fact, even if he was found, Kevin didn't think the Atlanteans could deal with him.

Kevin's strength on land was not particularly outrageous, and he might not even be able to beat Superman in the DC world.

But under the sea...

With the help of seawater, he can easily stir up a tsunami of several thousand meters. He doesn't think any army can resist the power of nature.

It's okay if Aquaman doesn't come to deal with Kevin. If he really dares to come, Kevin doesn't mind letting him taste the "anger" of nature.

Mera didn't know where Kevin's confidence came from. She looked at Kevin in surprise, her eyes full of suspicion.

But she didn't say her doubts, maybe she accepted her fate. She was silent for a while and asked Kevin:

"So now... where are you going to take me?"

Kevin smiled when he heard this, and finally planned to tell Mera his purpose. He looked at Mera and asked:

"Do you know the legendary trident? King Atlan's trident."

"Once... King Atlan's trident? Isn't that a legend?"

"Yes, I'm going to find that legend now, so I need a little help from the locals."

Kevin recalled the plot of Aquaman.

He only watched Aquaman once, and most of the plot has been forgotten, but he didn't forget where the legendary trident exists.

Among the seven kingdoms of the deep sea, the territory of the Trench Kingdom.

A place full of irrational piranha monsters.

Thinking about the Trench Kingdom, Kevin said to Mera:

"So do you know where the Trench Kingdom is? According to my information, the Trident is said to be deep in the territory of the Trench Kingdom."

"... Trench Kingdom? Are you sure you want to go there?!"

When she heard Kevin's destination, Mera was shocked:

"Don't you know that it is the Land of Death?"

"Little princess, for me, there is no such thing as a Land of Death under the sea."

Kevin smiled at Mera.

If the technology of Atlantis can still cause some trouble to Kevin, then the people of the Trench Kingdom, who have not developed any technology and have completely degenerated into irrational fish monsters, are completely dishes on the table for Kevin.

Kevin can eat whatever he wants.

"... Madman."

Looking at Kevin's confident smile, Mera made such an evaluation.

In Mera's eyes, no matter how strong Kevin's water magic is, he can't survive safely in the Land of Death.

Because no matter how powerful water magic is, there will be a limit.

And the number of fish monsters in the Trench Kingdom can be said to be endless.

Mera doesn't think Kevin can deal with them.

"Don't worry, if you are really scared, you can just tell me the coordinates, and I can go alone."

Facing Mera's suspicion, Kevin didn't explain.

Anyway, he only needs to touch the trident to complete his mission, and there is no need to really take someone with him.

If Mera is really scared, Kevin can let her go after getting the coordinates.

At that time, Mera can do whatever she wants, and Kevin can't control it.

But when she heard Kevin wanted to let her go, Mera fell silent.

She hesitated for a long time before turning around and asking:

"...Are you really sure that the legendary trident is in the territory of the Trench Kingdom?"

"I'm sure... Well, I wanted to say that, but after you said that, I'm a little unsure. Where is the nearest land from here? I want to go up to confirm some things."

Kevin wanted to swear that he was sure.

But when he thought that the king of Atlantis was Arthur, not Orm, and that although this place looked like a movie world, many places were different, Kevin felt that it was better to be safe.

If this was the movie universe, whether it was a parallel universe or not, the legendary trident would remain in the Trench Kingdom.

But if this was not the movie universe, but some other messy universe, it was uncertain whether the legendary trident would still be in its original position.

For this reason, Kevin needed to go to land to confirm the situation.

"Do you know where the legendary trident is..."

Seeing that Kevin seemed a little unreliable, Mera was speechless.

Originally, she saw Kevin's swearing look, and thought that the other party had determined the location of the legendary trident before daring to go straight to the Trench Kingdom.

But now... Mera could no longer be sure whether this guy really knew everything, or was just a "madman" who was going to look for the legend after reading a few storybooks.

"I know, of course I know, but there are just some things that need to be confirmed, don't worry."

Kevin also knew that his repeated words had caused the other party to lose trust. He coughed awkwardly and changed the subject:

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you. I heard from that minister that you are a princess? Will you become the queen of Atlantis in the future?"

"...I don't want to talk about this. Can you let me be quiet for a while?"

Kevin wanted to change the subject, but when it came to this, Mera frowned slightly in disgust, and had no desire to talk to Kevin about this.

Just seeing the obvious disgust on her face, Kevin became more curious.

What is the situation in this world? Why does Mera hate being the queen of Atlantis so much?
