The man is tall, with silver hair, majestic and dignified, and his white velvet robe is covered with various ribbons and small coats of arms, showing his noble status.
"The great Atlantis Empire, His Highness Hagrid, the High Priest of the Twelve Lineages, welcomes you home."
Although Hagrid's appearance has changed drastically, he still holds the ocean scepter in his hand, which symbolizes authority, so there is no doubt about his identity.
Facing the man's greeting, Hagrid seemed to be very pleased: "Very good, Andy, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have already become an excellent Archon."
After the two of them greeted each other politely, Andy finally looked at Xu Tong and others aside, and his originally friendly face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Oh, these are the guests I specially invited. Don't neglect them!"
Hagrid was afraid that Andy would anger scary guys like Xu Tong when he opened his mouth, so he spoke first.
After hearing Hagrid's words, Andy was startled, and the displeasure on his face immediately disappeared, but there was still a bit of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
This arrogant attitude was naturally not welcomed by Xu Tong and the others. After noticing Andy's eyes, Xu Tong just looked at Andy.
The white tiger roared in his destiny, and Andy's pupils suddenly tightened as he saw a huge evil tiger rushing towards him.
"don't want!!"
Andy danced and screamed, then sat down on the ground. All his feces and urine came out, and the stench hit his nostrils.
At this time, everyone was stunned, and then Gao Zhuo and others laughed unceremoniously.
"Hahaha!"
The harsh laughter brought Andy back to his senses, and he realized that there was no evil tiger at all. He knew in his heart that he had been tricked, and his face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
"How dare you use evil magic on me!!"
Andy climbed up like a stimulated lion, pointed at Xu Tong and others and roared: "Get them!"
As the words fell, the guards in armor behind Andy quickly rushed forward, trying to arrest him.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Gu Xibai snorted coldly, stepped forward and waved his big hand, and simply slapped the guards away.
To be able to become Andy's bodyguards, these people are all top-notch masters. According to Atlantis' level classification, they are all at least three-star werewolf warriors.
After being slapped by Gu Xibai, he flew to the ground. He immediately got up, his eyes were red, he let out a wolf howl, and they all transformed into werewolves and rushed forward again.
However, the result did not change. Facing the rushing figure, Gu Xibai didn't even raise his head and slapped the werewolf's teeth with a loud slap.
The slaps of "papapapa..." continued to rise and fall, and soon these so-called masters were lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
"you……"
Andy was so angry that he was shaking and could only look at the high priest Hagrid.
As a result, Hagrid turned a blind eye to this and glared at Andy coldly: "That's enough Andy, these people are my distinguished guests. Your arrogance and rudeness are simply an embarrassment to the empire!"
Maybe Hagrid never dreamed that Hagrid would say such words in front of everyone.
Could it be that his distinguished guest is more important than himself, the great consul?
Hagrid ignored the pale Andy, turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Xu Tong and others: "Please come to my manor to rest first. I need to go back to the temple. Don't worry, I will be back soon."
So under the shocked eyes of everyone, Xu Tong and others got on the carriage originally prepared for Hagrid and slowly headed towards the city center of Atlantis.
Walking along the avenue, every few dozen feet, at the intersection, there will be a circular or other regular polygonal fountain.
Under the fountain is a pool. The water is clear and translucent. There are young people from the sea holding harps gathered in small groups beside the fountain, playing the harp lazily. The sweet sound of the piano attracted the chorus of birds in the sky.
Those tall and beautiful men and women, wearing spacious robes mainly in white, blue, and red, walked on the street with relaxed faces.
Hagrid's manor is even more luxurious. It is a palace that occupies a huge area. It has three floors, each floor is about three feet high. It has built-in landscapes, fountains, and is as magnificent as a palace.
In such a long time, to have such a luxurious building really makes everyone feel a bit dreamy.
Hagrid did not dare to make Xu Tong and the others wait any longer. After a brief report, he quickly returned to the manor and immediately warmly entertained Xu Tong.
All kinds of delicacies were served on the dining table, allowing Xu Tong and the others to relax and start eating.
After all, they have not had a decent meal after being out for so long.
After he had eaten and drank enough, Xu Tong asked Hagrid to find a quiet room for him. He was going to retreat. During this period, Gao Zhuo and the others could play and relax.
After they had completely digested Genesis, they left here and headed for Mount Tai.
However, as soon as the itinerary was discussed, Xu Tong frowned.
When he raised his head, he saw a flare hitting the air.
"Something happened on the battleship!" Gao Zhuo and others stood up one after another.
Hagrid was also shocked. He had clearly ordered that no one be allowed to approach the battleship. How could something go wrong?
The Sun Battleship is docked at Hagrid's super fortress, surrounded by heavily guarded guards. It is said that nothing will happen.
But at this moment, the signal flare was sent out, indicating that Amei, who was sitting on the battleship, was definitely in big trouble.
"go back!"
Just in case, Xu Tong also set up a teleportation beacon on it so that he could teleport back at any time.
The moment he saw the signal flare, Xu Tong immediately took out the teleportation beacon and teleported directly back to the battleship.
When Xu Tong rushed back through the teleportation beacon, his face instantly turned cold, and he saw that the battleship was surrounded by people.
"Back off, you bastards. If you dare to attack my battleship, you are trying to rebel!"
Hagrid didn't have a teleportation beacon, so it only took him a few breaths to catch up with his strength.
When he saw the surrounded battleships, Hagrid's face instantly turned livid. He waved his scepter and pointed at the leader of the warriors: "Rayat, who told you to do this? Are you provoking me?"
"
As one of the Twelve High Priests, the area around his fortress is a restricted area. Even if he kills people, no one dares to accuse him.
The soldier named by Hagrid could only grimace and step forward bravely and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Hagrid, your distinguished guest rescued a group of fugitives. These fugitives are very dangerous. His Highness Augu personally captured them."
Captured, so..."
When he heard Aogu's name, most of the anger on Hagrid's face had subsided. He turned back and walked to Xu Tong and explained in a low voice: "Aogu is the head of the twelve priests, and he has more authority than me.
It’s much higher, so it’s a bit troublesome.”
Hagrid is the Twelve High Priest, but he is a newcomer and is much younger than Ogu, who has lived for almost 400 years.
The implication is that I hope Xu Tong will not directly conflict with Augu. If those people are not important, just return them to them.
Xu Tong called Ge Zhuo and asked what happened.
"I did it!"
Ge Zhuo held out his chest and said to Xu Tong.
It turned out that when they were ordered to guard the battleship, they saw people parading in the street below. Originally, Ge Zhuo and the others would not care about other people's affairs.
But he discovered that the people being paraded through the streets were actually Chinese just like them.
These people were tied with iron chains and dragged on the road by horse-drawn carriages, allowing the surrounding residents to throw stones at them.
How could Ge Zhuo and the others tolerate this? They were in a foreign land and saw compatriots who had the same skin color and language as themselves. How could they not save them? So Ge Zhuo personally led his team and rushed down to rescue the people.
Although their individual strength is not as good as the warriors of Atlantis, when they form a battle formation, it is a completely crushing battle.
He directly beat the parade team until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and he rescued the people. Not long after, this happened.
After speaking, Ge Zhuo asked people to bring up the rescued prisoners.
As Ge Zhuo said, these people are all Chinese, with yellow skin and black hair, exactly like them.
The only difference was that most of these men wore a simple animal skin draped around their bodies, and their shoulders were pierced by some kind of special torture instrument. They looked at Xu Tong with the same confusion.
Seeing this, Xu Tong turned back to look at Hagrid.
"They are all prisoners of war captured on the front line." Hagrid explained to Xu Tong bravely that the scope of Atlantis was constantly expanding, so there was friction with the Xia Kingdom in the east. These prisoners of war were from the front line.
Got caught.
Xu Tong snorted coldly when he heard this: "What if I want to protect them!"
"If you want to keep it, you can get a ransom in exchange!"
The clouds in the sky twisted and turned into a huge face.
"Ogu!"
Seeing this, Hagrid hurriedly stepped forward and bowed slightly to the huge face in the clouds.
Even though he was also a member of the Twelve High Priests, Hagrid had to lower his noble head when he saw Ogu.
"Hagrid, your distinguished guest is so rude."
The clouds and mist twisted, and Ogu's voice rippled throughout Atlantis like thunder.
Everyone could hear it clearly, which was a huge blow to Hagrid's authority.
Hagrid's expression changed, and he suddenly became angry: "Your Excellency Augu, what you say is really disrespectful. They are my most distinguished guests. I won't allow you to humiliate them like this. I can pay these people's ransom."
Come pay, but you need to apologize to my guest!"
After saying this, Hagrid did not forget to turn around and said to Xu Tong: "Please believe me, I will never allow anyone to offend you no matter what!"
Hagrid's compliment surprised everyone, but what was even more unexpected was that when Xu Tong heard the words, he directly pulled up the small bench and sat down, and took out the cigarette pole in a leisurely manner.
This made Hagrid start to murmur in his heart. Xu Tong lit the match, slowly roasted the tobacco, and said to Hagrid without raising his head: "Yes, please continue your performance."
