Chapter 470: Chapter 287 King of the Blue Sea_1
At this moment, a vast number of Nine-Colored Meteorite fragments should still be scattered throughout the ocean.
This is a super resource that caused the revival of spiritual energy on Blue Star!
It’s unknown whether it’s a treasure from beyond the skies or created by Infinite City.
But in any case, each fragment of this Nine-Colored Meteorite is of World’s Rare level, and Lu Ran feels that a complete Nine-Colored Meteorite must at least be of Legendary Level, right?
In terms of rarity, it seems to be no less than the Reaper Stone that Reaper is seeking.
Now that all the meteorite fragments have fallen into the deep sea, Lu Ran must develop ocean forces if he wishes to collect them.
If Lu Ran plans to go the route of an army in the future, these meteorite fragments are indispensable items.
They could directly solve the problem of low average levels among the Legion’s Pet Beasts to some extent.
Lu Ran plans, once Dark Crow has had a chance to catch its breath, to have it contact General Xuan Turtle.
With the Black Dragon sealed, the Dragon Palace will be headless, inevitably sparking a battle for power.
At this moment, Turtle has just been captured and taken to the Dragon Palace and must still be a minor character.
But being non-essential to the core of Dragon Palace now doesn’t mean it will stay that way later.
Lu Ran plans... to support Turtle’s rising to power!
To have it become an Affiliation of Yun Bao or King of Sudden Death and become the behind-the-scenes ruler of Dragon Palace—the revered ’Long Live Turtle.’
Alternatively, if Turtle is unwilling, it’s also fine to collaborate with the Fishman Empire instead of pushing Turtle to a position of power.
However, to build trust with the Fishman Empire, an Affiliation relationship would still need to be established, which means allowing the daughter of the Fishman King, the Mermaid Princess, to become an Affiliation of Yun Bao.
Over the past few days, Lu Ran had already obtained a photo of the mermaid princess.
Well.
To be honest, she looks very attractive.
Just like in the legends, with the upper body of a beautiful young girl and the lower body encased in a scaly, pretty fishtail, her entire body is both alluring and designed for rapid swimming. Once trained, she will undoubtedly also be a powerful ocean magic user.
...
In the deep sea, the Dragon Palace.
Just as Lu Ran had anticipated.
At this moment, it wasn’t only the human nations on land shaking like an earthquake; the various forces in the ocean were also experiencing their own degrees of vibration.
Fishman Empire.
In an undersea kingdom entirely composed of coral and sea cave structures,
The heavily injured Fishman King was recuperating in a coral palace as magnificent as an imperial palace, with a shark-headed prince on one side and a mermaid with a fishtail on the other, both attending to him.
The shark-headed prince did not seem very intelligent.
And the Fishman King didn’t look very pleased with him.
This fool had gone to the land and brought back nothing but a few boxes of iced tea, not a single thing of value.
Moreover, he even lost the meteorite fragment that he was gifted, utterly wasteful.
"Father King."
"During the recent conflict between the human nations and the Dragon Palace, aside from providing some intelligence, we haven’t been of much help."
The mermaid princess speaking had a huge stature; beneath sweeping blue wavy hair, there were bright blue eyes, a beautiful face, and a full chest. As for the lower half, it was a blue fishtail of varying shades, glistening in the light.
"I know," the robust Fishman King pondered before speaking,
"I didn’t expect this human nation to be so strong. You two, share your thoughts."
"That human named Lu Ran seemed to have demonstrated exceptional performance in this war..."
"With the Black Dragon sealed and the Dragon Palace suffering heavy losses, now seems like the best time for a counter-attack, to recapture our previous losses."
The mermaid princess, floating, spoke up, "Father King, I think that even if we want to counter-attack the Dragon Palace, it should be done in alliance with the human nations. I am willing to act as an emissary, representing the Fishman Empire to negotiate with the human nations."
"I want to counter-attack!! I want to help my brother-in-law retrieve Turtle!!" The shark-headed prince took out a trident.
Seeing this, the Fishman King, not caring for his injury, kicked him with a mighty foot, sending him flying.
At the same time.
Dragon Palace.
Unlike the headquarters of the Fishman Empire, if the Fishman Empire’s headquarters is a natural marvel consisting of countless corals and sea caves forming a super architectural complex,
then the main base of the Dragon Palace is like an underwater palace, very similar to the architectural style of human kingdoms.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Both the Fishman Empire and the Dragon Palace are superpowers dating back to ancient times, and as early as in those ancient times, the Dragon Palace had already formed a habit of enslaving humans.
At that time, humans living along the coast were all enslaved by marine life. The massive Dragon Palace was also built by humans under the coercion of marine life. This part of history contributed to the Black Dragon King’s arrogant personality.
The human nations and tribes of that era worshipped it as a spirit, a deity, and revered it greatly, which is why upon the Black Dragon’s awakening, it still immediately set its sight on harvesting from human nations.
However, unfortunately, after countless years, even when faced with the legendary Totem Dragon, modern humans did not indulge it, and did not treat it as a deity. They fought as they ought to.
If totemic creatures had always protected humans, it might have been different, but key to note is that after the decline of spiritual energy, countless disasters were shouldered by humans alone, without a trace of protection from totem guardian gods. So now, even if a creature of legend like the dragon appears, it doesn’t seem so untouchable to people anymore.
There’s no chance of extortion.
"What’s going on, what’s happening?!"
With the Black Dragon King and many sea creatures from the Dragon Palace gone and never returning, the inside of the Dragon Palace was turned upside down. In a barracks, General Xuan Turtle felt a numbness in his head upon hearing the commotion outside.
"This is a disaster."
"The world, it’s too chaotic!!"
Old Turtle shed tears of sorrow when he recalled his experiences from his time there. First, he was quite content living in the Green Sea before being captured by the Fishman Empire... Fortunately, the Fishman Prince held him in high regard, treating him well, allowing Old Turtle to live his days leisurely.
But who knew, he would later be snatched up by the Dragon Palace. This time, he couldn’t slack off. Upon arrival, he and several other sea creatures who were captured were divided among the generals of the Dragon Palace and assigned to different barracks.
He became the deputy to a certain dragon, required to train hard every day.
However, merely being a deputy, Xuan Turtle was not privy to the conflict between the Dragon Palace and Xia Country; he was not of high enough rank to know. But the current chaos inside the Dragon Palace let Old Turtle understand that something significant must have happened.
The Dragon Palace was always at war, having recently battled with the Fishman Empire, something the Old Turtle was well aware of.
Therefore, right now, his heart was extremely heavy, suspecting that another war had broken out, one that even affected the inside of the Dragon Palace.
"I, Old Turtle, hate chaos the most."
"Compared to here, working over in the Green Sea doesn’t seem so unacceptable anymore." The Xuan Turtle began to reminisce about life in the Green Sea.
After being captured, he wondered if Lu Ran and others had ever thought of rescuing him...
But Xuan Turtle was also aware of the terror of the Fishman Empire and the Dragon Palace. He estimated that the likelihood of Lu Ran coming to find him was almost zero...
Zero...
"Huh??" Xuan Turtle suddenly turned his attention towards a zero that appeared before him. No, it wasn’t a zero; it was a dark red pupil.
Seeing this suddenly materialized pupil, he showed an expression of disbelief. But then, his expression turned to shock as this dark red pupil transformed directly into a spiritual body mode of an Undead Crow. This crow, Xuan Turtle recognized it with his mouth slightly agape.
"Caw!"
At this moment, this Undead Crow clone, born out of the Eye of the Evil God, was also excited. It looked at Xuan Turtle, whose expression was stunned, and said, "General Xuan Turtle, I’ve finally found a suitable opportunity to contact you."
"You, you you you..." Xuan Turtle was shocked as he looked at Dark Crow.
"Don’t be surprised; it’s me, Dark Crow General."
"You... surely you haven’t forgotten your own identity, have you? The Grand Marshal of the Green Sea Navy, former General Xuan Turtle of The Seven Beasts of Green Sea!!"
"Damn." Xuan Turtle continued to gape, never having imagined that Dark Crow would actually have made it to the depths of the sea. How... did he manage that?
"Could it be." Although he didn’t know how Dark Crow had managed it, suddenly, Xuan Turtle was filled with an intense excitement. "Lu Ran hasn’t forgotten me, right? You... have come to save me and take me back, haven’t you??!!"
"Answer me, say yes!!!"
Dark Crow looked at General Xuan Turtle dissatisfiedly. "You’re so impatient, look at you, always in a hurry."
"Of course, we never forgot about you. To rescue you, now, Lu Ran, in combination with Manager Ying, has sealed the Black Dragon King and killed dozens of Dragon Palace generals. The chaos outside is due to that."
Xuan Turtle’s eyes widened. What???
Are you, this crow, just spouting nonsense??
"Anyway, the Boss has done so much for you, don’t you think you should show some gratitude?"
"Like, helping the Boss, so he can go from the Green Sea King to the King of the Blue Sea?"
Xuan Turtle: ???
