"Things are very strange. Nami was originally a peace-loving queen. Even if she disappeared that time, she never sent people to the land world to search for her with great fanfare."
After hearing this, Dick suddenly remembered the frogmen he met when he returned to Deep-Sea World.
Since the Queen did not instruct them, and looking at the behavior of the fishman commander, Dick basically concluded that those frogman assassins were inseparable from Sparta.
"So I think something is fishy. Is there any way that Deep-Sea World can Hypnosis control people? For example, the Queen is indirectly controlled?"
"It is true that there are such methods, but who dares to risk the disdain of the deep sea and do such arrogant things? Do you suspect that Sparta did it?"
"Very possible."
"But he has no Hypnosis ability. He is just a warrior with outstanding martial arts. If anyone has the ability to control Hypnosis, we are the only priests of Sacrificial Temple.
However, Queen Nami can control giant creatures in the deep sea, which shows that her mental power is extremely powerful, and ordinary people should not be able to Hypnosis her."
"Then Queen Medusa's mental power is equally strong. Could it be that no one can Hypnosis her?"
Valkyrie's snake tail slapped the ground unconsciously.
She is still not sure why her mother fell into a deep sleep, and after hearing Dick's words, she can't help but feel suspicious.
Could it be that my mother was really Hypnosis ed?
Dick's fingers unconsciously rubbed the anti-slip pattern on the hilt of Dawn Sword's sword.
"Among you Deep-Sea World creatures, is there no one with more powerful spiritual power than the Nami Queen and the High Priest?"
Valkyrie The stone brick entwined with the snake's tail cracked a thin crack, and her voice suddenly became erratic. "Mother once said... Sea God There is a living thing under the seal."
She turned to stare at the coral reliefs on the palace dome,
"Kraken, the legendary Monster can stir the entire ocean with its tentacles.
"It looks like an octopus and is as big as a medium-sized island.
However, I heard from my mother that because it made a mistake, it was sealed in the deepest part of Deep-Sea World by Sea God and has been in a sleeping state. No one can reach that place.
"Do you think there is a possibility that it has woken up and used its strong mental power to cause Medusa to fall into a deep sleep?"
After listening to these words, Valkyrie suddenly said, "It is possible that someone awakened it, and then through some priests, it was willing to act as a medium and use its ability to achieve certain goals."
"You mean..."
"I suspect that there is a traitor in the sacrificial palace who took advantage of Kraken Sea Monster's powerful spiritual power. First, Hypnosis killed Queen Nami, and used herself as a medium to transfer the sea monster's spiritual power to herself, and then took advantage of her to sneak attack on my mother Medusa. But who is this traitor?"
The two looked at each other.
"Klaik!"
Klaik is the younger brother of the fishman sacrificed by Dick. The two had met before when they fought against Valkyrie.
"Then why don't you just arrest Klaik for interrogation now?"
"Dick, we must follow procedures and rules when conducting sacrifices in the palace. This custom has been passed down for 8,000 years. Unless the evidence is conclusive, we cannot act rashly."
Valkyrie said and shouted loudly, "Here comes someone!"
A beautiful snake warrior quickly came to her side.
Valkyrie whispered a few words in her ear, and the beautiful snake warrior nodded frequently and left quickly.
"I have ordered people to secretly monitor the priest Klaik. If there is any situation, report to me immediately."
"It seems that this is the only way. If I had my way, I would arrest him directly, but I respect your customs. However, we can't just wait here, right?"
The situation is so critical that we cannot just watch a real war break out between land and sea."
"There is another way, which is to go to Sea God Temple to accept another test from Sea God.
Sea God has a trident that can kill Kraken Sea Monster. If we get it through the trial, even if Kraken Sea Monster is really behind it, we can kill it and save my mother and Queen Siren."
"It seems that I have to participate in Sea God's trial again. Do you want to go to the square?"
"These two trials are completely different. One is specially prepared for the fish-men guards, while the other is a trial that can use the magic weapons of the Sea God family in times of crisis. Come with me. The trial venue is deep in the Sacrificial Temple."
The two walked into a huge courtyard next to the palace, where many female fishmen in sacrificial attire were discussing.
Seeing Valkyrie arriving, they quickly bowed and saluted.
"What are you discussing here? Why don't you go to the laboratory and study it?"
"Valkyrie, the Queen sent an order that in 7 days we will follow the army to conquer the human world."
"What? Sacrificial Temple has always been in charge of my mother Medusa. Even Siren Royal Family cannot directly give orders to the priests."
"But Medusa has not yet awakened. If we disobey the Queen's orders, we will be regarded as treason."
"Don't worry, I will definitely wake up mother." Valkyrie said as the snake's tail slapped the ground hard.
"Then what if you can't wake up the high priest within 7 days?"
"Then you must obey the Queen's will first. I am going to Sea God Temple now. You must protect Sacrificial Temple well these days, do you understand?"
"You want to..."
"Yes, I want to get the Sea God Trident inside, just in case."
The two continued to move forward, crossed an area, stepped onto the steps and walked down.
The spiraling stone steps seemed to be endless, and fluorescent mucus oozed from the rock wall, forming a blue puddle at their feet.
When Dick counted to the 999th step, a huge rock door carved with reverse vines abruptly cut off the path, and the vine-like barbs were clearly densely packed with ancient runes.
Valkyrie placed his hands on the depression of the handprint on the stone door and began to chant the mantra loudly.
A yellow light glowed on his hand, spreading along the rune texture of the stone gate, gradually covering the entire outline of the stone gate.
The stone door cracked with a harsh friction sound, and the salty sea breeze carried the smell of rotting seaweed.
Dick's pupils shrank into vertical lines, and the cat's eyes glowed in the darkness, but it was difficult to distinguish the outline of the stone pillar three meters away. The darkness here was like some kind of living thing, greedily devouring all the light.
Seeing Valkyrie walking into the Sea God palace first, he quickly followed.
While walking, Dick asked, "What challenges will there be in Sea God Temple?"
"Actually, I have never been here. My mother doesn't allow us to come here on weekdays. She always warns the priests that Sea God Temple is full of dangers and uncertainties. Besides, there is no need for us to come in.
After all, there is nothing special here except the trident that can kill sea monsters."
"Then let's adapt to circumstances."
"That's all it can do."
The two of them continued walking forward, and their vision gradually became brighter.
Dick looked around and found that this huge palace was made of unknown metal and stone materials, and the level of meticulous carving was comparable to the craftsmanship of elves.
And they were in this empty hall, like a cat in a villa of hundreds of square meters, looking extremely small.
After a while, they came to the three intersections in the palace.
Dick looked at Valkyrie: "Which channel should we choose?"
"It's up to you to choose, I can't decide either."
"Then just keep going forward. It's all unknown anyway."
Valkyrie made no objection and the two walked into the middle passage.
Walking along the passage, the front soon opened up again, and the huge stone gate behind the passage suddenly closed.
At this time, an altar as tall as a person appeared in front of them. On the altar was a small stone bowl with a dagger in it.
The two of them took a few steps to stand in front of the altar. Dick suddenly felt a piece of information automatically pouring into his mind.
