The top priority is naturally the internal issues of the mermaid clan.
As the saying goes, when dealing with foreign affairs, you must first make peace with yourself at home.
The mermaid clan must ensure stability and harmony within the clan so that they can fight without any worries in the future war against the gods.
If there is no way to deal with the problems within the mermaid clan, once a war breaks out in the future, this incident is likely to cause huge problems for the mermaid clan.
A single move can affect the whole body. Mediya knows this very well.
There were only two people left in the main hall, and Demeni couldn't help but secretly be wary of whether he might have been exposed.
Thinking of this, Demeni tried his best to keep his inner calm and asked expressionlessly.
"Queen, is there anything else?"
Hearing this, Medea came back to her senses and took out the Chaos Box that Elaine had given her before.
"High Priest, you are well-informed. Do you know what this thing is?"
With a hint of curiosity and scrutiny in her dark blue eyes, Medea wanted to see what kind of reaction the high priest Demeni would have.
However, she saw nothing.
Demeni was very calm, with strong doubts in his light blue eyes.
"Sorry, Your Lady Queen, I have never seen this box, and I don't know what it is."
If Ye Ling were here, after listening to Demeni's words, I would be very sure that she must be a betrayer.
This thing itself was made by the high priest Demeni, but Demeni said that he had never seen this thing.
There is no three hundred taels of silver in this place, it is simply a self-inflicted crime.
But Ye Ling was not here at this time, so naturally he didn't know about the conversation between the two.
And even if he knew it, Ye Ling couldn't provide enough evidence to prove that it belonged to Demeni.
At most, it just makes him understand that Demeni has indeed colluded with the Abyssal Sea Tribe.
The problem is that even if he knows about it, he can't tell the Mermaid King about it. If there is no evidence, it is just fabrication.
Seeing that Demeni's face had not changed at all, even the confusion in his eyes was very obvious.
Mediya secretly wondered, could this matter really have nothing to do with Demeni?
When something like this happened, the first person she suspected was Demeni.
As the second strongest person in the mermaid clan, Demenico not only possesses great strength, but also possesses extremely special talents.
Whether it's curses or spells, they all have extremely high talents.
Logically speaking, the barrier created by Demeni's talent cannot be easily broken through.
The box in hand can easily break through the barrier created by Demeni, which has its own problems.
You must know that even if Medea wants to break through the barriers set up outside the city, it will take some time.
There is no contact between the Abyss Sea Tribe and the Mermaid Tribe, so there is no reason why the other party can break down the barrier so quickly.
There must be something wrong with this.
But now, even though she knows there is a problem, Medea is still not 100% sure whether Demeni is involved in this matter.
Could she... be someone who colluded with the Abyssal Sea Clan?
Even though the two are very good friends, as the king of the mermaid tribe, Medea naturally has to consider many aspects and remain suspicious of any possible situation.
The target was his former best friend, so he couldn't completely remove the suspicion.
There is currently no evidence, and Medea still has some doubts about Demeni.
Putting the box in her hand on the table aside, Medea smiled slightly.
"Since it's not yours, forget it."
It was as if this box was not an important object at all, just an insignificant thing.
Demeny concealed himself perfectly, showing a confused and curious look.
"Your Majesty, may I ask what this box is used for?"
Hearing this, Medea took a deep look at Demeni.
She couldn't be sure whether Demeni really didn't understand or was just pretending to be confused.
Her intuition told her that the person who once protected the mermaid tribe with her might have changed.
"I don't know either. This thing was found outside the barrier of Haimu City. The aura remaining on it is probably the key to breaking through the barrier this time."
After receiving the explanation, Demeni suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.
"So that's it! Such a small thing can actually break through the barrier I created? This... is incredible!"
The surprise in her words seemed that this matter had nothing to do with her at all.
The acting is superb, with no flaws at all.
"Okay, Demeni, you go and do your thing, I have something to deal with."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Afterwards, Demeni left the hall respectfully.
A moment after she left, a palace guard came to the hall.
"How was it? Did Demeni do anything extraordinary during the time I was away?"
Before Medea left, she handed everything big and small to Demeni.
But as a king, it was impossible to absolutely trust someone, so she naturally arranged for people to secretly observe and monitor Demeni.
The main reason is to see if she will behave strangely.
Hearing this, the palace guards below quickly responded.
"Reporting to the king, during the few days you left, there was no unusual behavior during the countdown. You spent most of your time here handling official duties.
After handling official duties every day, he went directly back to his High Priest's Palace, almost never going to other places, let alone leaving the royal capital."
After listening to the report from her subordinates, Medea suddenly narrowed her eyes.
So normal!
It's because it's so normal that it seems a little abnormal.
But one cannot rely on Medea's guess to doubt Demeni, the high priest.
Even though his voice as the Mermaid King is very high among his tribe, as the high priest, Demeni's voice is not low either.
Before there was absolute evidence, she said it was impossible to touch Demeni.
"Back off."
Medea was the only one left in the main hall, leaning on the throne and lost in thought.
This incident seems to be related to Demeni, but it does not seem to have any direct connection.
You still have to take your time. If you want to figure out the origin of this box, I'm afraid it will take a while.
…
After Demeni left the palace, where no one could see him, his calm expression suddenly turned very gloomy.
She didn't expect that those guys from the Abyss Sea Tribe would leave such important things behind at the scene.
Are these guys stupid?
If you leave such an important thing at the scene, if someone discovers that it belongs to you, then you won't be able to escape the consequences.
