Chapter 867: Various Routines (Seeking Collection, Subscription, Monthly Ticket) Seeking Recommendation Ticket!!!

But this did not prevent the alliance between Atlantis and the Kingdom of Zebel. Reading Even for this reason, the Kingdom of Zebel agreed to Om's marriage request. Like the ancient European nobles, marriage is not just a simple political union, but also a combination of inheritance rights.

For example, the current King Nereus of the Kingdom of Zebel has only one daughter, who has an undisputed inheritance right. If she marries Orm, then their children will naturally have the inheritance rights of the Kingdom of Atlantis and the Kingdom of Zebel.

This is equivalent to merging Atlantis and Zebel!

This has never happened in thousands of years! The nobles between the seven countries may intermarry, but the royal families will never intermarry! It is to ensure the independence of each country from each other. But now King Nereus of Zebel actually agreed to let the princess of Zebel marry the king of Atlantis.

This matter also made Vico feel uneasy.

He always felt that there were too many tricks in the middle, whether it was Orm's side or Nereus's side!

The fact is similar. When Orm returned to Poseidonis, Nereus was also giving instructions to his daughter.

Mela, Nereus' only daughter, is also the most legitimate heir to the Kingdom of Zebel.

This princess, who is as stunningly beautiful as a legendary enchantress, is the most beautiful woman in the seven kingdoms. Nereus is very proud of this, and because of this, Nereus has extraordinary expectations for Mela.

Yes, from the beginning, Nereus did not intend to let Mela conduct a political marriage in the country.

Among the seven kingdoms, the Kingdom of Zebel is a society with highly centralized power, a bit ****. In the kingdom, the king has extraordinary influence, so Nereus thinks that letting Mela conduct a political marriage in the country is just icing on the cake for the royal family.

She should have a greater role.

And this opportunity came so easily.

The silly boy Orm was so smart that he thought his little trick could deceive Nereus. That is the land of the covenant, and the meeting between the two kings is about to be held, so the security work must be perfect. Such a large submarine ran to the land of the covenant... Unless the guards of the two kings were blind, it would be impossible for this situation to happen. Then the situation is very clear. Since it was not the people from Zebel who let the submarine in, it must be the Kingdom of Atlantis.

Nereus saw it clearly, but he did not expose this trick.

After all, he was also unhappy with humans. What's more, signing a covenant and concluding a marriage contract would be beneficial to Zebel.

"So, I want to marry Orm?" Meila had no objection to this, and Orm's identity was very suitable.

"No, you are marrying the King of Atlantis!" Nereus smiled and looked at his daughter, the treasure of the Kingdom of Zebel.

Meila frowned, she could hear the subtext of her father. It doesn't matter who she marries, what matters is marrying the King of Atlantis!

"But no one in Atlantis has an undisputed right of succession except Orm."

This is also the reason why Meila was puzzled.

"Om... Hehe, that child is a little immature, but very ambitious. If I really want a son-in-law, he should be a good candidate, but I don't need an ambitious son-in-law. All I need is... to unify the entire Atlantis!"

That's right, Nereus, King Zebel has greater ambitions and aspirations than other kings.

"Child, you are still too young. You don't know some secrets of the past. This King Orm is not the only son of the former Atlantis Queen Atlanna, not even the eldest son! There is still a child in the world who is the legitimate heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Atlantis!"

Although the Kingdom of Atlantis hates mixed-race children, it is interesting that there has never been a law in the laws of the Kingdom of Atlantis that prohibits mixed-race children from becoming kings!

This mistake should be because the Atlanteans never thought that the royal family would marry humans, so they never imagined such a situation, and naturally there was no law.

"Queen Atlanna, she..."

A drum doesn't need a hammer. Some things Nereus only needs to mention. Meira's smart little head will naturally think of it.

She knows her father. If it was just Orm, Nereus would not consider marriage at all. After all, Orm has an absolutely orthodox status in Atlantis, so his prestige is very high. If Meira marries him, then it is impossible for Zebel to manipulate or even annex Atlantis.

Orm is definitely a strong monarch.

But it would be different if Orm had a half-blood brother.

If Meira helps the half-blood become king, then Meira's influence on the new king will be infinite. After all, a half-blood has no foundation in Atlantis, and even no decent supporters. On the contrary, everyone hates his identity as a bastard.

In this way, if the new king wants to gain a foothold, he must rely on other forces.

Who else can support him except the Kingdom of Zebel?

By then, the people around the new king will all be Zebel people! Then, in the name of the king, Zebel could legitimately interfere in and manipulate the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and even wait until the child was born and kill this puppet king... It was not impossible.

In short, Om is very good, ambitious, and skillful, although he is still a little immature. But it is precisely because of this that he is not suitable as a marriage partner.

"You want me to..."

Meira said: "But where is the half-blood?"

"I don't know, child. You need to find out. I believe you can do it."

Meira nodded, and she thought so herself.

...

Soon, Meila came to the Kingdom of Atlantis.

Om received his fiancée with the highest standards. However, unlike what Om imagined, Meila was particularly resistant to this marriage. Of course, Om was not surprised. Not everyone is willing to accept the fate arranged by others. Meila is just more rebellious.

This is nothing. An immature girl is just throwing a tantrum for her imagined self-esteem.

Om is not angry. To a certain extent, he is like Nereus. He doesn't care whether Meila is really willing to marry him. He doesn't want Meila's sincerity. He wants Meila's identity, her identity as the heir of the Kingdom of Zebel!

As for whether she is happy or not...does it matter?

So Om just laughed off Mela's temper.

"Don't think I don't know your tricks!" Mela seemed to be irritated by Om's calmness, and said something without thinking: "Atlanteans are the sons of the sea. We will not start a war that requires killing countless people because of your ambition! My father was just deceived by you!"

"No, no, no, my princess, I am fulfilling the duties given to us by the sea god, maintaining the balance of the world and the safety of the sea! Humans have done enough harm to the sea. In the sea, species are extinct every day because of humans, and our fish are caught by humans wantonly, and they never go back to consider how many years it will take for those fish to recover. Look here, naive princess, this place used to be beautiful!"

Om felt it necessary to make it clear. Although it didn't matter what the princess thought, it would be easier if she could cooperate. Om pointed to the outside of the border city of Atlantis. "This place used to be full of seaweed and various marine life, but it is precisely because of human pollution that it has become barren! Sooner or later, these pollutants will enter our land and turn our rich territory into a dead land! We must fight back! Let humans respect the sea!"

"Standard tyrant speech, in order to save some people, we have to kill another group of people? You call this saving? You are tyrannical, we have a better way!"

"Method? Do you mean hiding in the sea and diligently cleaning the asses of those land people? No! That is not the future that Atlanteans should have! The order of the world should be set by us!" said Om.

Meila was unmoved. She sneered and said, "No matter how beautifully you talk, you can't change one thing! That is, you must get the consent of four countries to start a war. This is the law that all Atlanteans need to abide by! Without the consent of other countries, you can't start a war, even if you bewitched my father! In addition, don't forget that according to the law, you are not the orthodox king at all! You have a brother! The eldest son of Queen Atlanna, he is the orthodox heir to the king."

The underwater people also have the eldest son inheritance system, and there has never been a law prohibiting mixed-bloods from ascending the throne, so in theory, Om is not orthodox.

Om's face changed, but he quickly returned to his original state: "The Fisherman Kingdom is just a group of cowards, as for the Saltwater Kingdom... Let's wait and see!"

After that, he resumed his previous politeness and took Meila into the territory of Atlantis.

Meila seemed indignant.

...

On the second day after the incident, an invisible Quinjet arrived in the sky outside Topsham.

"So what is our mission this time?"

A tall and handsome man stood in the command room of the plane and asked with a relaxed look: "Are we going to fight with the messy mutants again?"

His name is Grant Ward, a level 7 agent of SHIELD. He was adopted by a senior agent of SHIELD since he was a child and grew up in SHIELD. He is a secret action expert of SHIELD and a typical fighter. He is much better at using guns than talking. But he also has shortcomings. He is not good at teamwork and communication with team members. Due to his personal character, his skills in handling tasks are slightly lacking. It is a sharp knife, but not suitable for overall planning.

Phil said helplessly: "We are agents, Ward, not superheroes. We should do things in a more agent-like way, instead of fighting and killing every time."

Ward curled his lips, obviously disdainful. Agent's method? In the end, don't we all rely on fists and bullets?

May walked in from the side: "We are about to reach the destination, can we announce the mission now?"

Standing on the side were a man and a woman. The woman was called Jemma Simmons, a Level 5 agent of SHIELD, working in the Science Department of SHIELD, majoring in biochemistry, and an expert in mutant research. She was a scientist who loved science to the extreme. The man was called Leo Fitz, also a Level 5 agent, a mechanical engineer and an electronic engineer, responsible for designing and building all tools and technical networks. He was a person who was out of touch with reality. He spent most of his time with Agent Simmons. Since the SHIELD Science Academy, he and Simmons have been inseparable. Both of them are the youngest graduates of the Science and Technology Department. They may have the craziest arguments, but after 10 minutes, it will be as if nothing happened.

In addition to Hawkeye and Natasha, these four people are members of Phil's special team. The reason why these people entered this team is that they have been screened at all levels, have the cleanest backgrounds, and are trustworthy people.

Phil nodded. This team has always operated like this. The mission target will only be disclosed when it is closest to the mission.

For the sake of confidentiality.

Although this somewhat affected the team's early preparations, fortunately everyone was elite, so it was not a big deal.

"Have you ever heard of Atlantis?"

"Huh?" Ward looked like you were teasing me.

On the other hand, Fitz and Simmons, two science geeks, immediately became excited.

Simmons screamed: "Ah! I knew I was right! Atlantis really existed! This time we are exploring the ruins of the Atlanteans, right?"

Fitz was a little frustrated: "How is that possible! The existence of any civilization will leave traces. How can Atlantis really exist in this world! If there really is Atlantis, then the movement caused by its silence can cause A global tsunami or even a mass extinction!”

"It's a shame, Fitz, that you lost the argument with Simmons, but I can tell you that Atlantis has always existed."

"Has it always existed?" Fitz quickly grasped the point.

"Yes, not only that, they have always been there, living in the deep sea!" Phil was actually shocked by this incident. If it weren't for Natasha's desperate assurance that the picture contained the truth, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Living in the sea?" Simmons asked curiously.

"Yes, they developed a brilliant civilization under the sea...well, they are more advanced than us." Phil continued.

"How is that possible?" Fitz still couldn't accept it.

"We have passed the God of War Ares, encountered ghosts, and aliens, and now you are still saying 'how is it possible'? In this world now... nothing is impossible!" Phil also became more and more concerned about the current situation. The crazier the world feels, the more hopeless it becomes.

All kinds of monsters and monsters came out.

"Looking at the bright side, at least we humans are not alone, right?" Simmons comforted with a smile.

Ms. Simmons is an avid lover of aliens and strange creatures.

"Sometimes I still hope that we humans can be lonely, so that at least we won't be invaded by aliens."

"Okay, the chat is over. I want to recount our mission to contact the Atlantean living on land. If possible, we can recruit him and let him join the Avengers project."

Ward almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Please, you haven't given up on that plan yet? Because of the stupid things we did, those superheroes don't like us very much."
