Chapter 1784 Thoughts (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please
It's like a star suddenly stood up and said that he was the descendant of a big traitor, and he also supported the legalization of drugs. At the same time, he was pro-American and pro-Japanese, criticized the country, pointed at the noses of thousands of netizens and said some treasonous words, and by the way, he also announced that he was a foreigner...
The impact of Om's doing this is almost the same as this.
After all, the legend of the Dark Trident has been passed down in Atlantis for tens of millions of years, and it is basically equivalent to the big devil.
Which good person would do such a thing.
It was also because of the need to verify the authenticity of this news that Atlanna rushed to the surface from the bottom of the sea in person. She really hoped this was false!
No matter how close Om and her were, he was still a piece of flesh she gave birth to. She had a problem with Om's father and was still full of guilt towards Om. After all, it was her actions that made this child motherless since childhood, and since returning to Atlantis, she also knew that Om's father died of depression after she was sacrificed. It is unlikely that she has no guilt towards her nominal husband.
That is too inhuman.
She never intended to abolish Orm's inheritance rights... She really never thought about it. After all, Arthur could not become king. Not to mention what the people think, Arthur himself did not like Atlantis. For Arthur, he had no mother since he was a child, which was caused by the weird laws of Atlantis. Why was it illegal for his father and mother to love each other?
After all, even the United States eliminated the obstacles to interracial marriage at the legal level after the Richard Lofven and Mildred case in 1967.
I didn't expect Atlantis to still play this game.
At least Arthur, who grew up in the United States, could not accept it. And Atlantis hated him and his father. This was vividly reflected in the first fight between Orm and Arthur. At that time in the arena, those insults and shouting, Arthur shuddered when he thought of them now.
Besides, Arthur actually likes his life.
What's good about the seabed?
He has always lived on the shore and is used to life on the shore. He likes noisy bars, likes riding motorcycles, and likes the feeling of the sun and wind. Although he also likes the ocean, he doesn't plan to stay in the sea for a lifetime.
He himself never thought that he would become a king one day.
Atlanna also didn't think of cutting off her family from then on. No matter how unorthodox Atlanna was, she was still proud of being an Atlantean.
So Orm is the only heir.
It can't be changed!
She exiled Orm just to make a gesture!
Yes, this is a political act.
She certainly knows that many people think that she is too harsh on Orm and think that she should be fined three glasses of wine and never do it again.
But is it really the case?
As mentioned before, many people don't care about what Orm did. But not everyone, at least the Saltwater Kingdom, the Fisherman Kingdom, and even the Kingdom of Zebel can't treat these as if they didn't happen.
The citizens of the Kingdom of Atlantis may pretend not to know, but as the king of the Kingdom of Atlantis, you can't pretend that these things didn't happen!
Those nonsense about three glasses of wine as punishment and never doing it again, just listen to them. If she really let Om off lightly, believe it or not, those weird words will become a different scene?
There is no shortage of people who find faults in this world. There is no cost to make arguments, and anyone can come. There are always two sides to a thing. The difference is that when the two parties of the matter move in the direction they agree with, they often don't speak. Aren't the remaining voices those who are dissatisfied with the development of the matter?
This is a bit like survivor bias.
What you see and hear are people who are dissatisfied with this matter.
And there are actually a large number of people who promote these rumors. They don't care how Atlanna is dealt with at all. They are just simply against Atlanna.
Don't think that the king has no opposition!
In fact, this is impossible. The higher the prestige of the royal family, the worse the situation will be for other people in the power field. So they oppose everything that the royal family supports. This is not rebellion, but a power game.
Especially when Atlanna returns with the Trident of Neptune.
This is a nightmare for other players in the power game!
They will find fault with Atlanna even if they find faults in the egg.
So Atlanna's heavy sentence on Orm is actually to whitewash Orm in a way. He is exiled for 10 or 20 years, who will bring this up in the future? After all, he has been punished.
What else do you want?
Do you really want to kill the last heir of Atlantis?
People who have such thoughts are absolutely treasonous.
It's like the ancient emperor issued a self-criticism edict, no matter whether it is a minister or other people, basically they can't cause trouble to the emperor anymore. Because the emperor has admitted his mistakes, you still hold on to it, this is not the performance of a minister, you are treasonous!
Of course, this will make the emperor lose prestige, after all, an emperor who makes mistakes... is not sacred.
But Atlantis is not that kind of feudal society, at least not entirely.
They rely on bloodline to distinguish classes... There is no way to do this. The Atlanteans who are closer to the bloodline of the sea god are stronger than ordinary Atlanteans. There is a difference in physiology. This thing is innate.
The human world's tricks really don't work for them.
Therefore, the prestige will indeed be lost a little, but Aum is the orthodox heir of the eternal bloodline, and no one can deny this.
So a loss is a loss.
Not a big deal.
In addition, Atlanna wanted to temper Orm, so there was this banishment.
But Atlanna really didn’t expect that Orm would run away, so forget it. Why bother looking for the Dark Trident!
In the final analysis, it was because the mother and son were not very familiar with each other.
After all, as soon as Atlanna was born, Atlanna was sacrificed before even finishing her confinement. They are really unfamiliar.
Aum didn't understand his mother's meaning.
Atlanna also didn't understand her son's inner pain.
So it was split.
After Mela explained everything, Kai felt a little numb.
But he still quickly comforted him: "No, things are not that bad now!"
Atlanna was like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. Her eyes lit up and she grabbed Kai's arm with both hands: "Really?!!"
Rui Wen, who came to deliver tea, curled her lips!
Forget it Mela, you Atlanna...how old are you!
How shameless!
Raven met Atlanna, a long time ago, in Athens during World War I, when Ares conspired to use demons to sweep the earth and destroy the world. At that time, the Atlanteans came with an army to help, and Atlanna participated in this war with her father.
Raven had met Atlanna at that time.
It's just that after so many years, Atlanna didn't recognize Raven. At that time, Atlanna was a high-ranking princess, while Raven was just a little village girl, and there was no comparison at all. Of course, even if you really paid attention, you wouldn't recognize it now.
Raven's appearance... well, she has no appearance since she awakened her powers. Her original appearance was all blue.
However, what Ruiwen said was still a bit biased.
After all, you don’t want to think about your man, who is over 10,000 years old. And you yourself are smaller than Atlanna.
Kai didn't have time to pay attention to Raven's mental activities. He was thinking of excuses now.
"That's right! Now the artifact is in the hands of the Overlord, and not in the hands of Orm. How can it be said that it is Orm's fault? This is obviously the fault of the Overlord!"
Not to mention, Kai really thought of it.
He knew that if the Overlord was able to get the Dark Trident, it was definitely Orm who was behind it. Otherwise, how would the Overlord know about this thing? Not to mention the Bully, even Kai didn't know that Atlantis had such an evil artifact.
Who else could it be if not Om?
Atlanna obviously knew it, so her eyes that were originally bright dimmed for a moment, but she still retained the innocence in her heart.
"But who will believe this when told about it? The Dark Trident has always been a secret kept by our royal family. No one except us knows the whereabouts of this artifact."
"That's right! It's just because no one knows, that's why we can fool... No, that's normal!" Kai felt a little ache when he saw Atlanna's expression, but at the same time he thought it was pretty good. What's so annoying is that you, a queen, have no political literacy at all. Blame-shifting is a necessary skill for a politician. There are also people who bombed other people's hospitals. It must be other people's own bombing. You can say this kind of thing out loud, and you completely treat others as fools, and you are nothing.
At the same time, I am also a little relieved, also because of this innocence. Although such a person makes people crazy, you don't need to be afraid of her harming you.
In comparison, Mela was much worse.
This woman...
Mela seemed to sense that Kai was speaking ill of her in her heart, and looked at Kai. Both eyes are moist.
This woman... is so moist!
Kai quickly shook off the messy things and comforted Atlanna first: "Look, where is the Dark Trident buried?"
"Desert." Atlanna said honestly.
"Yes! What does this have to do with you? What they dug up blindly through archeology has anything to do with Orm. Besides, if you don't tell me, and I won't tell you, who the hell knows what the secret of the Dark Trident is? Orm leaked it. As you said, only your family in the entire underwater world knows this secret, so that means other people don’t know that you have this secret, right?”
"That's right... but..."
"You want to kill Orm?" Kai actually wanted to kill Orm, but Orm's identity was too special, at least in front of Atlanna, he couldn't say this.
What kind of bastard can someone say in front of someone else's old mother to kill her son?
So, I can only say it along the way.
But what to do then depends on how Kai operates. Anyway, isn't it normal for many people to die due to accidents these days?
Kai is not easy to do it, but he can outsource it to others.
Aren’t dark elves a good candidate for outsourcing? Others used to specialize in murder and arson!
Anyway, Kai didn't care much about the succession to the throne of Atlantis.
It’s amazing to have another Atlanna. Is there anything technology can’t do these days?
So you can mess around now.
"I..." Atlanna was a little hesitant. Honesty was important, but like Kai said, really watching Orm die?
Mela seemed to see through Kai's insincerity, but she did not expose it. Instead, she helped Kai speak: "Yes, Queen, we must hide this matter now!"
Mela's thoughts were the same as Kai's, she also wanted Om to die!
After all, Orm is dead, so she has a chance!
Why Mela wants to have a good relationship with Atlanna is naturally because of benefits. If Orm dies, who among the seven kingdoms is qualified to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Atlantis?
After all the calculations, Meila is the only one left.
Mela and Atlanna are relatives, and their blood relationship is quite close. Atlanna's aunt, Atlanna's father's sister, is Mela's grandmother.
There is no news about the Seven Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Mystery, the Trench Kingdom is full of monsters, the Saltwater Kingdom... arthropods, the Fisherman Kingdom... fish. Therefore, the royal family of the Kingdom of Zebel and the royal family of the Kingdom of Atlantis are the best choices for intergenerational marriage.
After all, the two are closest in appearance and have the same aesthetics. Anyway, the royal families of the two countries have never intermarryed with those monsters and monsters.
The royal families of the two parties have been intermarrying for who knows how many generations, and their blood relationship is quite close... everyone is a relative.
If one day the bloodline of the Atlantis royal family is cut off, the best way to prevent the throne from hanging alone is to select a successor from the nearest branch of the bloodline.
So who else could it be besides Mela?
Her status is noble.
The Kingdom of Xebel is second only to the Kingdom of Atlantis.
At the same time, Mela's reputation in the Kingdom of Atlantis is very good, and the people and nobles support her very much. After all, she had come close to becoming queen.
Most importantly, she has a good relationship with Atlanna.
If that time comes, Atlanna's own wishes will be very important.
It would be in line with the law if she randomly selected someone from the side lineage. But instead of choosing someone else, why not choose someone like Meila who is close by blood and has a good relationship?
Mela swore that she had gone out of her way to get along with Queen Atlanna, not just for this reason. It was just that the matter was here, why didn't she go further?
This is much safer than trying to get Kai's Poseidon Trident!
"The most important issue now is to recapture the Dark Trident. Destroy it if you can. If you can't destroy it, keep hiding it."
At this time, Mela would think more about Atlanna.
After all, this is how you can increase your favorability.
"As for Orm... we must find him and capture him before the incident reaches Atlantis!"
Kai was stunned for a moment and looked at Meila.
He didn't quite understand why Mela was so active.
Although there is no need to regard Mela as a bad guy, in Kai's mind, she has nothing to do with a good person.
