"The statues of kings, ministers and dignitaries from the ancient Roman era are displayed in this palace."
As he spoke, Chen Hui pointed to a stone statue with both arms broken off and said, "Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa."
"He was one of the most famous politicians and military strategists in ancient Rome, and was Octavian's close friend, son-in-law, and minister."
"However, this person has never been a king, so he is definitely not the target we are looking for."
Having said this, under the curious gaze of Princess Mera.
Chen Hui pointed to another stone statue and said, "Scipio Africanus, the legendary 'Conqueror of Africa,' a renowned ancient Roman commander."
"But likewise, he has never been a king, so he cannot be called a 'king'."
As Chen Hui spoke, he quickly glanced around, finally locking his gaze on a stone statue that seemed to be gazing out to sea. He nodded with a slight smile and said, "Romulus, the first king of ancient Rome in mythology, was roughly a contemporary of King Atlantis."
As he spoke, Chen Hui turned his gaze back to Princess Mera and shrugged, saying, "She is someone who can be recognized as a 'true king' by King Atlan."
"I think there wouldn't be anyone else besides this founder of the ancient Roman Empire."
"Pap-pap-pap-pap."
Hearing this, Princess Mera couldn't help but clap her hands softly, and then she exclaimed in wonder, "How do you know so much?"
"This history is thousands of years old."
"I am a Chinese, Princess Mera."
Chen Hui smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Among the land nations, no other country or nation places more emphasis on the inheritance of history than the Chinese."
"So, even if it's the history of other countries, I have some understanding of it."
"hehe."
Upon hearing this, Princess Mera, who also regards tradition and history as her life, immediately nodded in approval.
He then walked up to the stone statue of Romulus, looked it up and down, and said, "So... this is the 'true king' that the King of Atlantis spoke of."
"But how can we find the exact location of the 'Earth's Center Hidden Sea' from it?"
"Well... do you remember what King Atlan said before?"
Chen Hui chuckled when he heard this. He looked at Princess Mera and said in a deep voice, "'The direction to go will be marked inside the bottle.'"
As he spoke, Chen Hui took out the wine bottle he found in the 'Lost Country' and took a look inside.
Next, after a prepared knowing smile.
Chen Hui placed the bottle of wine in his hand on the raised palm of Romulus, then pointed to the empty space on the back of the stone statue and said, "Princess Mera, you can look through the eyes of the stone statue."
"Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise."
"."
After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows.
Princess Mera climbed onto the back of the stone statue of Romulus as she was told, and through the gap in the eye area, she took a look at the bottle held in the statue's hand.
The next moment, Princess Mera was surprised and delighted to discover.
The inside of the wine bottle, which originally looked ordinary, was actually engraved with a golden trident totem, which clearly pointed out the location of the "Earth's Center Sea", and even the specific coordinates were displayed clearly.
"Success! We found it!"
Seeing this scene, Princess Mera cheered excitedly.
Suddenly, his foot slipped and he was about to fall off the statue.
The next moment, just when Princess Mera was about to lose her balance.
A strong hand with distinct joints had already grasped her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and helped her down steadily.
"Don't get so excited, Princess Mera."
Seeing Princess Mera's lingering fear, Chen Hui immediately shook his head with amusement and said, "If you accidentally fall and get hurt, how will you find that 'Golden Trident'?"
"..."
Looking at Chen Hui's handsome face so close to her, and the masculine aura that was blowing towards her.
Princess Mera, who had never had any close contact with the opposite sex, immediately felt extremely embarrassed.
She immediately gently pushed away Chen Hui's arm that was around her waist, took two steps back with a flushed face, and put some distance between herself and the man in front of her.
"hehe."
Looking at Princess Mera's slightly hot cheeks, Chen Hui shrugged with a bit of amusement.
He took the wine bottle with the address engraved on it from the statue of Romulus and threw it down the hillside, where it broke into pieces.
"Okay, we now know the location of the 'Earth's Hidden Sea'."
Next, look at Princess Mera who is smiling knowingly.
After Chen Hui nodded, he immediately said solemnly, "There's no time to lose. To save time, let's immediately head to the location marked on the bottle and find the legendary 'Golden Trident' as soon as possible."
"Yes, you're right."
Upon hearing the words 'Golden Trident', Princess Mera immediately recovered from her shyness and nodded heavily, saying, "Om could unite the forces of the four kingdoms at any time, becoming the legitimate 'Lord of the Sea' and launching attacks on the various countries on land."
"We really don't have much time to waste. Let's set off for the 'Earth's Core Sea'."

Chapter 124: The Chinese Nation Never Needs a Savior! (Please customize)
A few moments later, after renting a fishing boat from the port location of 'Sicily'.
Chen Hui and Princess Mera immediately set sail and headed towards the direction indicated in the wine bottle.
After a while, I watched the sunset begin to set in the sky.
Princess Mera, who was sitting on the side of the ship, suddenly couldn't help but exclaimed sincerely: "It's so beautiful!"
"I really envy you land dwellers who can see such a beautiful sunset every day."
"In comparison, we underwater people are not so lucky."
"Pfft."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui's face immediately showed a strange expression, and he couldn't help but grin and chuckle.
"What's wrong? Is my opinion ridiculous?"
For some reason, Princess Mera always felt that the person in front of her was very good at provoking her emotions, and just a small action could make her feel very dissatisfied.
"no."
On the other hand, facing Princess Mera's dissatisfaction, Chen Hui shook his head and said, "I just feel that what you said is very familiar, Princess."
"Once upon a time, there was another princess who said something similar to me."
"Another princess?"
"Ah."
Chen Hui smiled and nodded, saying, "Princess Shirahoshi of the mermaid clan."
"The mermaid clan?"
"'Princess Shirahoshi'?"
Princess Mera was completely bewildered upon hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and asked, "Is she the princess of the Fisherman Kingdom? You even know her?"
"But that princess isn't called 'Shirahoshi'?"
"hehe."
Chen Hui smiled slightly when he heard this, waved casually at Princess Mera, and then said nothing more.
Seeing this scene, after hesitating for a moment.
Princess Mera finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time. She asked curiously, "Mr. Xia, why do you hate America so much?"
"Are you determined not to allow Arthur Curry, who is of American descent, to ascend the throne?"
"Mingming, they are also land people like you, right?"
"...Princess Mera, do you know how many countries there are on land?" Chen Hui smiled when he heard that.
"This"
Princess Mera raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and then said hesitantly, "I'm not very clear."
"But according to Vico, there should be dozens."
“More than 200.”
Seeing Princess Mera's surprised expression after hearing this, Chen Hui spread his hands and continued with a smile: "Among these more than 200 countries, only about 30 can be called 'developed countries' and enjoy an extraordinary standard of living."
"As for the other one hundred or so countries, they are all 'developing countries' and 'underdeveloped countries'."
"The standard of living is either unsatisfactory or... worse than death."
"."
Princess Mera was silent for a moment before she tentatively asked, "So what level of country is the United States?"
"developed country."
Chen Hui replied calmly, "And it's the most powerful 'developed country,' bar none."
"Then...what about China?"
"developing country."
Chen Hui smiled slightly and said, "It is also the most powerful 'developing country', bar none."
"..."
Hearing this, Princess Mera nodded subconsciously, and said with a wry smile: "I think I understand a little bit."
"hehe."
Chen Hui pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "To be fair, the relationship between China and the United States today is somewhat similar to the relationship between 'Arthur Curry' and 'King Orm'."
"King Orm is the current king of Atlantis. He is supreme and will not allow anyone else to challenge him."
"Arthur Curry is the most qualified competitor to replace him, so King Orm has always regarded him as a thorn in his side and has always wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible."
"Of course, there is no blood relationship between China and the United States."
"The two countries are pure enemies."
"I see......"
Princess Mera nodded, then asked cautiously, "But... since China's national strength is not as strong as that of the United States."
"Then why did you only ask Atlantis not to help either side, Mr. Xia?"
"Could it be that... you don't want Atlantis to stand on China's side?"
"hehe."
Facing Princess Mera's obviously suggestive probing, Chen Hui chuckled and then suddenly asked, "Princess Mera, do you know what the Chinese motto for life is?"
"..."
The next moment, before Princess Mera could reply, Chen Hui muttered to himself, "As Heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself."
"The terrain is good, and a gentleman carries it with great virtue."
Having said that, after explaining these two popular and timeless quotes in plain language.
Chen Hui looked at the shocked expression on Princess Mera's face and smiled, "The Chinese nation has a history of five thousand years."
"In the long years of the past, we have fallen to the bottom countless times, and returned to the top of the world countless times."
"All of this was achieved through the hard work and sacrifice of millions of Chinese people, not through some 'noble bloodline' destined king."
"So, the Chinese people don't need a savior, nor do they need some gods or kings who suddenly appear and come from above to save us."
"The 1.4 billion Chinese people can defeat the United States, which still occupies the top position in the world, simply by relying on their own hard work and intelligence."
"Just like the countless opponents we have defeated over the past thousands of years."
