Chapter 436-434: The Prince Protecting His Sister (Please Subscribe)
After a while,
The situation here has changed again.

Luo Yi and the others had retreated to the location of the Blood Gate.

While maintaining his crimson domain, Grand Duke Karen began channeling magic into his domain, ready to activate the Blood Gate at any time.

Lady Palacios remained at the very back, with at least five magic scrolls rotating around her, ready to be activated at any moment.

Iron Knight Phil and Oliveira worked together, one defending and the other attacking. Once the battle started, their task was to clear out the enemies around the Blood Gate.

Even Alexius, the Siren King, though still wounded and greatly weakened, picked up a trident, a weapon commonly used by the sea creatures, and struggled to stand up straight.

Further ahead, the red dragon Virgil stood with his hands behind his back and his head slightly raised.

Although he still looked like a withered old man, he exuded an aura like a savage beast, making people feel awe.

Luo Yi was right in front of him, and in front of everyone else, facing the enemy.

In his hands, Princess Asheria of the Naga was held by the neck and lifted up, the movement as easy as lifting a straw.

Of course, this is the most threatening card in his hand, and he can't afford to lose it.

Therefore, although he was choking her, he used a skillful technique, so it wasn't too painful and she wouldn't suffocate.

However, this Naga princess was not honest. After realizing that she could breathe freely, she bared her teeth and claws, kicking repeatedly, trying to attack Luo Yi.

Forced to unleash her fighting spirit, the golden-red light became almost tangible, and then she ignored the other party.

If you listen carefully, you'll notice that he and the red dragon Virgil are still talking in hushed tones.

Red Dragon Virgil: "Who? Who repeatedly told me before coming that the main focus should be on deterrence, and to try not to use force?"

"Hahaha!"

Luo Yi's laughter was tinged with embarrassment: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't expect it either!"

He paused, then pointed to his head and asked, "Don't you think there's something wrong with this woman's...things?"

Red Dragon Virgil: "I told you so, the sea creatures are all pretty crazy."

"Even if you're crazy, you can't do this!"

"Yes, as far as I know, the Naga royal family is a bloodline bestowed by the sea god, and in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, they marry their siblings."

I've heard that offspring produced this way are often abnormal; I wonder if that's true?

Luo Yi's expression froze: "Inbreeding, genetic defects, either a madman or a genius?!"

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense."

Even as the two were talking, the area outside the Blood Gate was already surrounded by layers upon layers of people.

As far as the eye could see, the original sea creature guards had all been squeezed into a corner.

The newly arrived sea creature guards were clearly stronger and more ferocious.

Their icy gazes, strong physiques, and overwhelming killing intent all demonstrate that they are not mere showmen, but warriors who have survived countless battles!
They also have many more races: tiger sharks, squid, sea snakes, crabs...

Densely packed, covering everything, completely enveloping this place.

Even the whale warriors didn't come one or two, but a whole team of nearly twenty.

This six-meter-tall, imposing, muscular sea giant, holding an anchor, strode forward.

That kind of pressure felt almost tangible!
Not to mention the existence hidden in the shadows, an existence that even the red dragon Virgil must take seriously.

How could such a vast city as R'lyeh not have any legendary powerhouses?!

Finally, a man, a burly man with a handsome face and a head of blond hair that danced in the wind, stepped out from the path cleared by the whale warriors.

He approached, glanced around, and first bowed to Virgil the Red Dragon and Grand Duke Karen with a fist-thumping salute.

"Eros, greetings to the two legendary lords!"

Grand Duke Karen nodded slightly, as if to acknowledge it, and Virgil the Red Dragon gave a rare compliment: "You are quite polite."

Then, the newcomer's eyes met Luo Yi's. Their eyes met, and there was no hostility between them. On the contrary, there seemed to be a sense of appreciation between them.

He said, "Count Roy Raymond, it's easy to see you, although the current situation is a bit awkward!"

Luo Yi narrowed her eyes slightly: "You've heard of me?"

"I've long heard of your illustrious name; it's legendary!"

"How come I don't even know I'm so famous?"

"Nowadays, the empires of the Old World are vying for supremacy, with two opposing camps locked in a life-or-death struggle."

However, you are the only one who can do business between the two major camps and four empires, thrive and make a fortune.

Some say that the struggle for imperial supremacy actually brought you some benefits.

"Can you tell me who said that? I'd like to ask them why they're trying to flatter me to death?"

"Then I can't tell you even more! However, Earl Roy, your reputation is actually far greater than you imagine!"

Luo Yi didn't completely believe what he said!

But in those few short sentences of conversation, he understood something.

The connection between the underwater world and the land-dwelling human race was far deeper and the exchanges were more frequent than he had imagined.

However, none of these things have been made public.

Perhaps what Luo Yi is doing now was done by someone long ago. Seeing Luo Yi lost in thought, the man immediately said again, "Count Luo Yi, could you please put my sister down first?"

Let's talk things over slowly; let's solve any problems one by one.

“You are a count on land, and I am a prince in the sea. We have no fundamental conflict, so everything is negotiable!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi slowly lowered her left hand to make Alicia feel a little better.

Only then did he look at the other person and say, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Prince Eros, this woman's younger brother?"

"That's obvious!"

"Do you know that your sister wanted to hire me to kill you?"

"This one……"

"If you know, you know; if you don't know, you don't know. What's there to be conflicted about?"

"This issue needs to be considered separately."

"If you're asking about my sister's intention to hire you, I don't know anything about that. However, the entire upper echelons of R'lyeh should know that she wanted to kill me."

Luo Yi was taken aback: "You know everything? What do you mean?"

"You must have heard about my father, Prince Antirochus, being seriously ill. He has now gone to the Sea God Temple to ask the High Priest for medicine."

Therefore, I am in charge of the city of R'lyeh.

However, my sister always believes that I stole her position and always wants to follow tradition to get rid of me.
Then, she can take over.

Prince Eros spoke quite frankly, and after explaining himself, he added, "This matter has become quite a big fuss, so it's like a joke!"

Luo Yi couldn't help but ask, "She wants to kill you so badly, don't you say anything?"

"Don't joke around. That's my own sister, my sister from the same parents. Although she often beat me when we were little, she wouldn't let anyone else bully my sister."

What can I do?

Eros's face also showed a bit of helplessness. He looked at Loy, then pointed to his head and said, "My sister has some... well, you should understand."

So please forgive me! Thank you all for your understanding!

He didn't hide his words from everyone; the guards around him all heard them, but they showed no expression, as if they already knew.

Of course, Alicia heard it too.

At this moment, Luo Yi loosened his grip on her, and she was able to speak again. Seeing her younger brother making fun of her like this, she immediately became furious.

"Eros, Eros, are you calling me stupid again?"

"You're the idiot! You're a fool, a moron, a moron!"

"I'm going to kill you. If I kill you, my father will have no other heir, and he'll have no choice but to choose me!"

I will be the Governor-General of the Northeast Province. If any of you dare to disobey me, I, I…

Her voice stopped abruptly because Luo Yi tightened her grip again.

"Gently! Gently! Earl Roy, my sister is afraid of pain, please be gentle!"

This was almost an unconscious action of Eros, and Loy watched it without any trace of acting.

At that moment, he didn't even know what expression he should have.

A sick father, a mentally unstable sister, a brother protecting his sister, and then there's him who suddenly appears...

For the first time, Luo Yi felt that this trip had been really hasty.

Seeing the atmosphere fall silent, Prince Eros offered a solution: "Count Roy, how about this?"

"You came here for trade matters, but the current situation is not suitable for negotiations."

"How about this, you go back first, and I'll make preparations here. Then we'll meet on the Silver Sea."

"We can discuss the trade details later, shall we?"

Luo Yi nodded: "Okay!"

"As for my sister, here's what I'll do: I'll offer you some information as ransom."

"What kind of information is so valuable?"

“A long time ago, the Habsburg Empire sent people to talk to my father, intending to win him over and help them deal with the navy.”

But my father refused.

However, my father still made some arrangements.

Luo Yi was taken aback by his words, but immediately realized what he meant: "You mean, the migration of the Siren tribe was due to your father's orders, and the reason your father did this was because the Empire was pushing him from behind?"

"That's right!"

Prince Eros made an even more explosive deduction: "So, it's possible that in your view, the total war was started because the Imperial Crown Prince was assassinated, and you were enraged by it!"
But in our view, this war was actually something the empire had planned and orchestrated long ago.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi's brows furrowed involuntarily.

　Update complete. I'm speechless that it's so late again!
