Chapter 136 Dragon Palace Kingdom! Conflict with Hody Jones!
Next to a shipwreck, Liszt and Fitz met Dan, a shipmaker and research scholar of the "Sea Forest", an oriental wolffish, wearing a dark hat, thick-framed glasses and earrings, with dense hair, a pointed face and a slightly curled nose, a beard on his jaw, and a pattern of sour grass on his arms and top.
Dan saw Grandma Cocola's letter, looked at Liszt, and said, "Koko said in the letter that you want to hire a group of fishmen?"
"Yes, I have some jobs to do fishmen and mermaids who can survive in the sea." Liszt nodded frankly.
"To be honest, because of Princess Oki's death, it's hard for me to believe a stranger."
Dan said bluntly: "I can take you to see King Nipton, but I won't speak for you. Whether you can convince the king depends on yourself. However, don't hold too much hope. Although King Nipton inherited the idea of Princess Oki and became the peacemaker on the island who advocated that "the fishman and mermaids should live in peace with mankind", he still had doubts and resentment towards mankind in his heart."
Nepton really doesn't hate humans for the hatred of killing his wife?
hatred!
But he is the king of Yuren Island and needs to put the overall situation first. The death of Princess Oki made him realize that allowing hatred to grow is a terrible thing and will bring disaster to Yuren Island.
Can fishman and mermaid really resist humans?
Let’s see what the Fishman Islands will do to humans after the era of the Great Pirates begins.
If the white beard hadn't spoken and protected the Fishman Island, it would have been expected that the fish people would face the disaster of extermination.
Therefore, even though he was dissatisfied, Nepton held back and stood up for the peace and promote the peaceful development of the two ethnic groups.
Liszt believed that Nepton would be a wise king. The key is how to make other fishmen believe him too.
The grudges between the two races cannot be clearly explained in just a few words. From Dan's attitude, we can tell one or two.
As the younger brother of the late world's first ship craftsman Tom, Dan was a famous boatman on Fishman Island, a research scholar on "Sea Forest" and a well-known figure in Fishman Island. He met many of the nobles on the upper class of Fishman Island. Through them, Liszt and his party were summoned by King Nepton of Fishman Island and King Nepton of the Sea.
Dragon Palace City, located on the top of the Yuman Island where you can see the sun, is a large luxury palace built with large coral reefs, shells, and other building materials, and is dominated by a giant dragon.
He rode a giant halibut with large bubbles on his back and came to the entrance of the Dragon Palace. The magnificent building. The left minister brought a team of guards to welcome him in front of the door.
The left minister was a catfish fish man, wearing a top hat, single-sided glasses on his left eye, and a horned cane in his right hand.
The Left Minister first looked at Dan, his eyes fell on Liszt, and he said politely: "Your Excellency is what Dan said, Viscount Arkham from the Kingdom of Levis in the East Sea? I am the Left Minister of Fishman Island. King Nepton ordered me to welcome the distinguished guests from afar!"
Liszt bent down and saluted very gentlemanly, saying, "I am Arkham Liszt!"
"How brave he was able to come here from the East China Sea!" Minister Zuo praised him in an official manner.
"Please forgive me for being rude, but for the sake of the king's safety, you cannot bring any weapons in."
"It's understandable!"
Lister smiled.
After inspection by the guards, Liszt, Dan, and Fitz followed the left minister into the Dragon Palace Castle.
As for Clow, he had to stay in charge so that the crew would not cause trouble or other accidents would occur.
In the wide palace, there are various strange corals ornaments, and pearl shells are decorated, which are magnificent.
King Nepton, who was even stronger than ordinary mermaids, sat on the throne with a crown, covered in dense orange-red hair and beard, his arms were flaming tattoos, his body was covered with thick body hair, and he held a finely carved trident.
"Hohohohohohohoho, a human distinguished guest from afar, why do you ask for Nipton?" King Nipton was generous and kind but quite childish. He often called out his name and was considered a strange king.
Lister said: "Dear King Nepton, I am here for peace on Fishman Island!"
"Hmm?" Nepton looked at Liszt in surprise.
"The blue sky, the strangely shaped beautiful white clouds, the warm sunshine, like a beach made of golden sand, the clear bay, the air with the fragrance of soil and the fragrance of forests, is there anything better than this?"
For fishmen and mermaids living in the dark deep sea, Liszt's depiction is enough to arouse their infinite imagination. In the eyes of mankind, what is within their reach is their dream.
In Liszt's infectious words, King Nepton, the left minister, and the surrounding guards were all trapped in a beautiful picture, as if they were already in it.
"Hmph, don't listen to human sweet words. You have forgotten, how did Princess Oki die?"
A voice with hatred sounded coldly, breaking the fantasy of the fishmen. They were immediately ashamed of their actions, and then looked at Liszt with anger. Even King Nepton was a little angry and asked in a deep voice: "Humanity, what exactly are you going to do?"
Lister's eyes were withdrawn from the tall fishman talking. The other party's hostility was not concealed at all. His eyes showed deep hatred for humans. This kind of gaze, Lister had felt from Aaron, and he entered an extreme racist.
"Peace! Dear King Nepton, I come with the sincerity of peace, not hatred and hostility. If I have ill-heartedness, I am blunt, your guards will not be able to stop me." Liszt's tone became tough, and he looked at the tall fishman with a provocative look.
"Arrogant!"
The tall fishman stood up. He was wearing a slightly curly black hair, a flat hat with a trident pattern, a wolf-skin scarf on his neck, and a large-scale tattoo on his left arm, including the tattoo of the "Evil Dragons Group".
He stared at his round eyes, his body more than three meters tall, with a sense of oppression, and said coldly: "Arrogant! Humans are all sinister and despicable guys. How could you, who cannot survive in the sea, be the opponents of the great fishman clan?"
"I have heard the same remarks from a guy named Aaron. Unfortunately, he is dead. It seems that you want to give it a try?" Liszt said with a smile.
The tall fishman's pupils shrank, and King Nepton and the left minister looked at each other. As the "card face" of Fishman Island, Aaron and his gang were also quite famous. After they had a falling out with Jin Ping, one of the current Seven Warlords, they ran to the East China Sea.
Not long after, there was news that Aaron and others burned, killed and looted the East China Sea, and were defeated by the branch navy. Aaron died and the rest of the fish were arrested.
