I don’t want this broken achievement anymore!

Feng Yi put aside these messy thoughts and looked back at Ariel:

"These assassins should be coming for you. Do you know what's going on?"

"Eh? Huh?"

Ariel opened her mouth with a cute expression on her face, not knowing how to answer.

She doesn’t know!

After all, she is just a little princess of the Kingdom of Atlantica. On weekdays, she is either listening to her grandma telling stories or running outside the palace to play with various sea creatures. She has no understanding of national affairs or anything like that. She has no idea who would assassinate her. I am even more clueless.

Seeing this, Feng Yi could only shake his head helplessly. It seemed that he could only find clues from the corpses of these assassins.

Walking to the corpses and leaning over to inspect them, he quickly discovered something was wrong.

These assassins seem to be mermaids like Ariel, but if you look closely, you will find that their physical features are closer to fish.

Not only is the coverage of scales on the body surface higher, but the distance between the facial orbits is also wider than that of a normal human face.

Especially their skin color - although the corpses were scorched by lightning and many tissues were scorched, and the skin was covered with lightning strikes, some of the original skin color was still left more or less.

Feng Yi discovered that their skin color was very dark, just like Brother Ni.

Thinking back to the dirty-braided scavenger I complained about before... Could there really be such a kind of mermaid in this world?

Just when Feng Yi was secretly surprised that this fairy tale world was actually "diversified", the sea not far away parted again. A king wearing a crown and golden armor held a trident and stood in front of a group of fully armed guards. Surrounded by people, they break out of the waves.

"Ariel, are you okay!"

As soon as the visitor appeared, he anxiously called Ariel's name.

"Father, why are you here?!"

Ariel was very surprised, never expecting that her father would suddenly appear.

Yes, he is the king of Atlantica and Ariel's father.

When the king saw that his daughter was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn't help but grimace and reprimanded:

"Of course it's because you sneaked out again! How many times have I told you that it's very dangerous outside the palace recently, don't go out alone, why don't you listen!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong..."

Ariel is not the kind of rebellious girl, she bowed her head and admitted her mistake on the spot.

After all, in the past, she could say that she was protected by Dahei and was not afraid of any danger. But this time she encountered a real assassination, and then she realized that Dahei could only help her drive away some ordinary marine predators. It has no protection against real enemies.

If it weren't for the strong man Feng Yi, she might really be in danger this time.

"By the way, father, this is God...Master Wizard, his name is Feng Yi. He protected me from the assassins!"

Ariel swam to her father, hugged his arm and begged for forgiveness while introducing her savior to him. At the same time, she also chirped and described the spectacular scene of Feng Yi sweeping across the sea with a thunderbolt.

In fact, the old king had already noticed Feng Yi's existence.

As the king of the deep sea kingdom, he possesses considerable power. Of course, it can be seen that Feng Yi's body, which seems to be the same as that of ordinary humans, contains powerful magic power. He even vaguely feels that the other party's entire body seems to be full of energy. It is made of magic power and is extremely terrifying.

And the powerful magic wave that was perceived underwater before, according to Ariel, was the thunder that covered hundreds of meters of sea surface with a wave of his hand?

His knowledge is much higher than that of Ariel, so he will naturally not regard her as a true god.

But at the same time, he also knew that a being with such strength could not be a mortal!

Chapter 93 Black Mermaid, Follower of Dagon

"...Thank you for saving my little girl."

"It's nothing. Anyone with a conscience will help at that time, not to mention those assassins who also regarded me as a target."

"No matter what, this is a life-saving grace. As Ariel's father, I must express my gratitude to you!"

In the underwater palace, the king was hosting a banquet to entertain Feng Yi.

To be honest, if Feng Yi was here in person, he wouldn't be able to come here - although this underwater kingdom of Atlantica is not the "Valley" base in the world of Cyberlord of the Rings, which is located thousands of meters deep under the water, it is The depth is also hundreds of meters deep.

With Feng Yi's current ability, he would not be able to survive in such depths of water without relying on magic weapons, let alone enjoy a banquet.

But fortunately, he is using the Yuan Qi Dharma Body now. Although it looks like it has a physical body, it is still made of Yuan Qi in essence. He does not need to breathe - or in other words, he does not need to breathe through his mouth and nose. His body is always breathing. Exchanging Yuan Qi with the outside world is equivalent to directly replacing the function of breathing.

As for the water pressure, there is no need to worry at all.

The mystery of this Yuanqi body was far more than Feng Yi had imagined. As soon as he entered the water, he felt that his body automatically adjusted the pressure balance inside and outside the body, and there was no risk of being crushed to death by the water pressure.

Of course, it is also delusional to have a feast in the sea.

After all, this is the sea and there is no fire. What the royal chef of the palace brings to the table is some raw food, such as sashimi, raw shrimp, raw octopus legs, raw seaweed and the like.

Although Feng Yi's body could eat, he really couldn't get used to eating these raw foods. After taking a few polite bites, he stopped eating.

As for the wine, I don't know what kind of magic has been cast on the wine vessels. The wine contained in them will not mix with the sea water, and you can drink it from the glass just like on land.

After tasting it, Feng Yi found that the wine tasted quite good, so he drank freely - anyway, his current body did not have ordinary flesh and blood, so he was not afraid of getting drunk.

While drinking, Feng Yi asked for advice:

"By the way, those assassins seem to me to be mermaids, but they are a little different from your Majesty's people. What are their origins?"

At this time, except that he knew that this world was probably related to fairy tales, he still knew nothing about other aspects.

"Those assassins..."

When asked this question, the king also showed a troubled look:

"To be honest, I don't know where they came from."

"You don't know either?"

Feng Yi was a little surprised.

"Yes."

The king nodded:

"They first appeared a few years ago. At first, I thought they were some kind of distant relative who had wandered away. But when our people tried to contact them, they were attacked by them."

Feng Yi: "Direct attack? No reason?"

"Reason? Of course there is!"

The king sneered, as if he was mocking something:

"They claim that they are the real sons of Poseidon, the real mermaid clan, and we, the people of Atlantica, are all fakes who believe in false gods. For this reason, they vowed to kill us all and take back what they deserve status. Huh! What a wishful thinking!"

Hearing this, Feng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

This statement makes some sense!

"I think the Poseidon they talk about is not the same god you believe in, right?"

he asked.

"Humph! Of course!"

The king snorted coldly and said:

"Atlantica and I believe in the great sea god Poseidon, but those black fish who don't know where they come from believe in Dagon, an evil god that I have never heard of!"

Poseidon?Dagon? !

Feng Yi's eyelids jumped slightly when he heard these two names.

The former is easy to say. After all, the fairy tale itself is related to the national tradition that gave birth to it. It is normal to be related to myths. Not to mention that the name of the country of Atlantica and the trident held by the king are all related to those in Greek mythology. Poseidon is of the same origin.

But Dagon... As far as he knew, there were three main gods with such titles——

One is the god of farming believed by the ancient Semitic people in the real world. Later, it was introduced to the Philistines. The god of the sea gradually became stronger and his image became a mermaid. Finally, the god was absorbed into Christian culture and became the fallen angel. ;

The other one is Dagon, the lord of the 89th floor of the bottomless abyss and the king of the deep sea in the tabletop game "Dungeons and Dragons". This can actually be seen as an image derived from the previous Dagon, but it is updated from the fallen angel. Furthermore, he directly turned into a demon;

As for the third one, that makes Feng Yi feel a little numb - that is the old ruler named Dagon in the Cthulhu mythology created by Lovecraft. He and his spouse Hydera are both more... A servant of Cthulhu, the powerful Old One, who exists as the leader, father and mother of the Deep Ones.

As for the Cthulhu Mythos... I understand everything!

Those old rulers who can easily destroy human civilization are still a trivial matter. It would be really terrifying if they provoked foreign gods like Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, and the Black Goat of the Forest!

I don’t know which Dagon the king is talking about.

Hope it's not the worst one...

Just when Feng Yi was deep in thought, suddenly, a low horn sound came from outside.

The king who was raising his glass to toast paused, immediately put down his glass, and his expression became serious.

Feng Yi: "Is this...?"

"It's a warning of an enemy attack!"

replied the king, straightening up.

"enemy?"

Feng Yi raised his eyebrows, such a coincidence?

At this time, a mermaid soldier was seen hurriedly swimming into the banquet hall and whispering something in the king's ear.

After a while, the king's face became extremely gloomy.

"Come here, please wear armor for me!"

He gave the order, and the attendants standing beside him immediately took down the golden armor from the shelf and put it on for the king.

This king of the mermaid tribe is obviously not the kind of guy who only knows how to enjoy himself in the palace, but a serious king who knows how to wear armor and go to the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, the enemy... are they those black fish?"

Feng Yi asked from the side.

"That's right, it's those guys who believe in evil gods. They are getting bolder and bolder. They actually dare to attack the royal city directly!"

The old king had already put on his armor, grabbed the trident handed by the attendant, and slammed it on the ground, full of majesty.

Seeing this, Feng Yi felt that it was not good for him as a guest to sit back and watch while his master went out to meet the enemy, so he took the initiative to propose:

"Your Majesty is kind enough to entertain me. If there is anything you need my help with, please feel free to ask!"

Chapter 94 Two armies confront each other, the magical power of the earth

Since Feng Yi, a powerful wizard, was willing to help, the Mermaid King was not hypocritical, so he took him out of the palace and came to the wall of the royal city.

Yes, as an underwater city, Atlantica actually has walls!

The layout of this royal city is not like the "Glenn" base, which is full of "alien" style in order to adapt to the terrain of the seabed. Instead, it is almost the same as a medieval castle city - the royal palace, or the castle is located in the city. In the center and on the periphery is a small urban area for civilians to live in. The outermost area of ​​the urban area is surrounded by a circle of high walls.

This may sound unreasonable.

After all, the reason why city walls exist is because people on land cannot move away from the ground. City walls can effectively protect wild beasts and foreign enemies from invading.

But for water that can move in three dimensions, city walls cannot play a "blocking" role at all, just like the city walls of modern cities have lost their role after the invention of airplanes.

However, this is a magical world where fairy tales exist, and scientific concepts are not necessarily universal here.

In fact, in addition to the city wall, an invisible energy barrier was deployed above the royal city and integrated with the city wall below, leaving no obvious blind spots in defense.

Moreover, as soon as Feng Yi sensed it, he realized that the source of this energy barrier was the city wall under his feet. After careful analysis, he found that this seemed to be a magic based on the concept of "city wall".

In other words, this city wall does only have a symbolic meaning, but under the influence of magic, this symbolic meaning is transformed into a real defense capability, protecting the entire royal city inside.

If you want to break this barrier, you must either use extremely powerful energy to crush it, which is called flying bricks with great force, or you can honestly attack from the main entrance of the city wall, destroy the city wall or gate, and break this "protection" symbol.

The incoming enemies obviously understood this, so they did not attack the city rashly. Instead, they gathered a large army outside the city and used various methods to provoke the people inside the city, hoping to lure people out of the city.

However, although it was said to be a large army, Feng Yi counted and found that the actual number was probably less than a thousand.

Of course, the king's side is actually not that good. Although Atlantica is much larger than many castles on the ground, it is still a classical era castle city with a limited population.

The number of soldiers who appeared beside the king was probably in the early [-]s.

This made Feng Yi, who had long been used to seeing tens of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people fighting in the history of his hometown, very unaccustomed to it. Fighting with such a small number of people always gave him the feeling of two villages fighting each other. .

But when the king led his army out of the city and really fought with the enemy, Feng Yi realized that he still took it for granted.

I saw that every mermaid soldier swam in the water as fast as a torpedo, and could cover a hundred meters in an instant.

At the same time, their every move can cause the surrounding seawater to follow them, forming various whirlpools.
