Ninety-seven, this is all messed up, the world hates it the most! (Part 2)
The Neptune swims very fast, and its escape, not to mention Joan of Arc, could not catch up with it; Wender behind him even realized what was going on until the figure of this big fish disappeared into the dark sea.
“…It ran away?”
Wende couldn't help laughing and was a little regretful about not being able to kill Fenchi, but his concern for Joan of Arc quickly gained the upper hand. Seeing that the girl You returned, he quickly asked Martha to come with him and asked with concern: "Joan of Arc, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Joan of Arc nodded, and her face was normal. Although the battle took a long time, it was because her strength was limited by the environment, and her relationship with her opponent, Kansai. So after this fight, she was not injured. She was supplemented by Wende's magic, and her strength was not affected.
However, Joan of Arc was a little resentful of Kei's escape, "If the big fish was not completely solved, it would not affect our actions, right?"
"It shouldn't be." Wender thought for a while and replied: "Through this battle, the Aquaman should be clear that it is not your opponent. The Aquaman is a solitary race. He has no helper to find it. He escaped by chance. Will he still come to his door on his own initiative?"
When Joan of Arc thought about it, he couldn't help laughing, "That's fine."
Although it was a little regretful that Wende was unable to kill a high-level demon to obtain the spoils, he soon focused on the target of the trip. Looking at the underground city several miles ahead, it was constantly emitting a slight blue light, looming in the dark sea. When he thought that he might find the Holy Armor Aganista and other unknown good things in this city, Wende's heart couldn't help but become hot.
He stretched out his hand to Joan of Arc and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about that big fish. Let's first appreciate the wonderful wonders that not many people in this world can see."
Joan of Arc was stunned at first, then smiled Yanran. She nodded slightly, "Yeah." She also reached out to hold Wende tightly.
Wende and his friends swam towards the destination's undersea city. As the distance approached, the city became clearer in their eyes.
It was indeed a very magnificent city with rich ancient Greek buildings - marble and stone pillars lined up everywhere, supporting ancient and simple palaces. The whole city seemed quite simple, but it did not lose its own characteristics.
Especially from Wende and his current perspective - the seabed is not as good as the ground. Even if Wende said that he was moving forward according to the seabed, in fact, in order to avoid being restrained by the high or uneven ground of the seabed, it is actually still necessary to maintain the necessary height of dozens of meters high. It can be clearly seen that this underwater city maintains a very unified style: one ring is connected by another, forming a unique concentric circular structure; the closer to the center of the city, the simple buildings appear luxurious, and at the same time, the higher the terrain they are located in.
And this, according to the literature that is neither numerous nor reliable in Europe, is indeed a unique feature of Atlantis.
"It's really a ruin of Atlantis..."
Wende couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't help swim forward faster. But just as he was about to touch the shield that was isolated from the sea water and air in the underwater city, the little mermaid on the side quickly looked at him and quickly caught him, "Master, please be careful!"
In Wender's puzzled gaze, Martha further explained, "This thing..." she pointed to the shield and said, "It has a very powerful force that not only prevents the sea from entering, but even we are blocked from outside."
"There is still this? I haven't heard you say it." Wende was skeptical and pointed his finger forward. Martha shouted again, "Be careful!" Wende touched the barrier unmoved. As a result, at that moment, a force rushed towards Wende, hitting him back several meters, and then stopped completely after being caught by Joan of Arc.
The little fishman said with a bitter face: "I just want to talk about this..."
Feeling the girl's concerned gaze, Wende shook his head, "I'm not injured." He looked at the shield in front and asked Martha, "Is this always the case here?"
"Yes."
"Then how did you get that bracelet?"
"I found it outside this barrier." The mermaid replied, looking around. Soon, she confirmed the location and swam over with Wende and Joan of Arc. "It's this. Master, look, there is one here!"
Martha really found something from the low-lying area that was very close to the barrier. It was a bracelet, which made the mermaid so happy that her eyes were almost gone. She wiped off the floating sand on it with the sea water, and she was so happy that she wanted to take it up.
Wende grabbed it from the side, regardless of whether the mermaid's face was wrinkled into a bun, but just observed it carefully. He saw that the bracelet was quite similar to the one that Martha had obtained before. The gold bracelet was carved with similar patterns and three little finger-sized tear stones. This bracelet is not an ordinary thing. Although the magical items of plus three are not very rare, they are still quite attractive to demons like the mermaid.
Wende couldn't help but look at Joan of Arc and saw that she had the same suspicion as herself. Did such a thing really happen to appear here? Martha found a similar item from the original location, and Wende didn't dare to be too optimistic.
But when it comes to his inquiry, the little mermaid was very happy, "That's Martha's luck." She pointed to the underwater city opposite the shield and said, "I've been paying attention to this place for more than a day or two, but I've never found anyone there."
As he said that, Martha became distressed again, "Master, is the thing you are looking for? But how can we get in?"
"You don't have to worry about this."
After probably confirming that this city was the ruins of Atlantis, Wend almost had an idea in his mind. He said this and took out the ruby of the scorching light from the spiritual world. As he guessed, here next to the underwater city, the gem really exuded a glory that was not always there. It illuminated a large area of sea area and made the barrier opposite dividing the sea water hazy.
Joan of Arc tried to touch the barrier again, and the whole thing passed without any stagnation.
The girl was on guard over there, nodded after confirming that there was no danger, and Wende and the fishman also came over. Behind them, the barrier swayed for a moment and returned to its original state, without a trace of sea water seeping in.
There was a lot of air in the barrier. Finally, Wender, who didn't have to use the diving suit, quickly took off the cap on his head and breathed in big mouthfuls of salty air here. Martha seemed very novel about being able to enter the city, but Joan of Arc was more ordinary. After looking around, he asked, "What should we do next?"
Wender thought for a moment, pointed to a certain direction and said, "I just observed that the terrain over there is the highest. If you look at it according to Atlantis' tradition, it will be the center of the city. If there are any treasures here, it might be there too."
Joan of Arc had no objection to Wende's judgment, so a few people walked over there. Wende summoned the Moon Knight to help guard against the trap or the enemy was hiding here. However, they actually walked smoothly. No unexpected things happened, but some small things or items were discovered from time to time in the Moon Knight's search.
Because most of those equipment are magical, Wende doesn't pay much attention to it. He took it to the spiritual world first and continued to move forward with his speed.
After walking like this, they gradually approached the center of the city. The terrain suddenly became steeper, and a majestic palace appeared on a hillside. Follow the steps built along the mountain and walked to the end. The first scene that caught Wende's eyes at the top of the mountain was a huge and majestic statue.
It is the image of an old man, holding a huge trident, standing on a carriage pulled by a golden war horse. This is exactly the sea god Poseidon, one of the twelve main gods in Greek mythology.
Poseidon is a god worshipped by Atlantis. It is normal for its statue to appear here. However, the background setting of the comic "Pirate" is a bit problematic. Somehow it is far-fetched, so it has a connection with the Catholic Church who believes in Jehovah...
As we all know, the Monotheistic religion has a very strong exclusivity. The history of the spread of Catholicism in Europe is the history of the demise of other gods. The religions and the main gods in myths and legends defeated by Catholicism are all rejected as evil gods and demons by Catholic missionaries.
The most famous example is the destruction god Diapolo, the devil who represents fear; its predecessor is actually the God of Harvest in a certain area...
So, Wender was a little surprised by the appearance of the statue of Poseidon. Because in his opinion, since the scorching light in his hand played the role he had, then... the ruins of Atlantis here should be more appropriate to the religious view of "Pirate Prince".
Anyway, Wende felt this way in his heart. But he couldn't resist reality and did not develop according to his speculation. And he seemed to be unable to find any other way of protest except to complain to Poseidon's statue.
He stared at Poseidon's statue and looked for a while. Wend, who withdrew his gaze, realized that Joan of Arc on one side was quite alert to the statue; while Martha on the other side was even better, and her eyes were dull and fell into a state of uneasiness.
"this……"
Wende, who could not grasp the situation, was surprised and was about to ask, but suddenly saw the statue of Poseidon, and a golden light bloomed on the trident!
