But this did not prevent the alliance between Atlantis and the Kingdom of Zebel. Even for this reason, the Kingdom of Zebel agreed to Orm's request for marriage. Like the ancient European aristocrats, marriage is not just a simple political alliance;
Combination of inheritance rights.
For example, King Nereus of the Kingdom of Zebel has only one daughter, and she has undisputed inheritance rights. If she marries Orm, their children will naturally have the inheritance rights of the Kingdom of Atlantis and the Kingdom of Zebel.
.
This is the equivalent of Atlantis and Xebel merging!
This is something that has never happened in thousands of years before! The nobles of the seven countries may intermarry, but the royal families will never intermarry! This is to ensure the independence of each country. But now King Zebel Nerou
Si actually agreed to marry Zebel's princess to the king of Atlantis.
This incident also made Vico uneasy.
He always felt that there were too many tricks in this, whether it was Orm's side or Nereus's side!
The facts are almost the same. Just when Orm returned to Posedonis, Nereus was also giving instructions to his daughter on the other side.
Mela, the only daughter of Nereus, is also the most orthodox heir of the Kingdom of Zebel.
This princess, who is as stunningly beautiful as a legendary banshee, is the most beautiful woman in the Seven Kingdoms. Nereus is very proud of this, and because of this, Nereus has extraordinary expectations for Mela.
Yes, from the very beginning Nereus had no intention of allowing Mela to have a political marriage in the country.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Zebel is a highly centralized society with a bit of militarism. In the kingdom, the king has extraordinary influence, so Nereus felt that it would be good for the royal family to let Mela carry out a political marriage in the country.
It's just the icing on the cake.
She should have a bigger role.
And this opportunity came so easily.
That silly boy Orm thought he could hide his little trick from Nereus. It was the land of the covenant, and a meeting between the two kings was about to take place, so the security work naturally had to be perfect. Such a big submarine came to the covenant
Land... Unless the guards of the two kings are blind, it is impossible for this situation to happen. Then the situation is very clear. Since it is not the people from Zebel who let the submarine in, then only Atlanti
Over there in the Kingdom of Sri Lanka.
Nereus saw clearly, but he did not expose this little trick.
After all, he was unhappy with humans, not to mention that it would be beneficial for them, Zebel, to sign a covenant and a marriage.
"So, I want to marry Aum?" Mela didn't have any objection to this. Aum's identity is very suitable.
"No, you are marrying the King of Atlantis!" Nereus smiled and looked at his daughter, the treasure of the Kingdom of Xebel.
Mela frowned. She could hear the subtext of her father. It didn't matter who she married. What mattered was that she married the King of Atlantis!
"But no one in Atlantis has undisputed inheritance rights except Orm."
This is why Mela feels puzzled.
"Om... haha, that kid is a bit immature, but very ambitious. If I really want to have a son-in-law, he should be a good candidate, but unfortunately, I don't need an ambitious son-in-law. All I need is
…Unify the entire Atlantis!”
Yes, Nereus, King Zebel has greater ambitions and ambitions than other kings.
"My child, you are still too young. You don't know some secrets of the past. This King Om is not the only son of Atlanna, the former Queen of Atlantis, or even the eldest son! There are still people in this world now.
With a child who is the legitimate heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Atlantis or!"
Although the Kingdom of Atlantis hates hybrids, what is interesting is that among the laws of the Kingdom of Atlantis, there is never any law that prohibits hybrids from becoming kings!
This may be because the Atlanteans never thought that a royal family would marry humans, so they never imagined such a situation, and naturally there was no legal basis for it.
"Queen Atlanna, she..."
There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. There are some things that Nereus only needs to mention. Mela's clever little mind will naturally think of it.
She knew her father well. If it were just Orm, Nereus would not consider marriage at all. After all, Orm has an absolutely orthodox status in Atlantis, so his prestige is very high.
If she married him, it would be impossible for Zebel to control or even annex Atlantis.
Orm is definitely a strong monarch.
But it would be different if Orm had a half-race brother.
If Mela helps that half-blood become the king, then Mela's influence on the new king will be infinite. After all, a half-blood has no foundation in Atlantis, not even decent supporters. On the contrary, all
Everyone hates his bastard status.
As a result, if the new king wants to gain a firm foothold, he must rely on other forces.
Then besides the Kingdom of Zebel, who else can support him?
By then, all the people around the new king will be Zebels! In the name of the king, Zebel can legitimately interfere in and manipulate the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and even wait until the child is born to kill the puppet king...
…It’s not impossible.
In short, Orm is very good, ambitious, and skillful, although he is still a bit immature. But it is precisely because of this that he is not suitable as a marriage partner.
"You asked me to..."
Mela said: "But where is the half-breed?"
"I don't know, kid. You need to find out. I believe you can handle it."
Mela nodded, she thought so too.
…
Soon, Mela came to the kingdom of Atlantis.
Aum received his fiancée with the highest standards. However, unlike what Aum imagined, Mela was particularly resistant to this marriage. Of course, Aum was not surprised. Not everyone is willing to accept being arranged by others.
Destiny, Mela is just more rebellious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is nothing, just an immature girl having a little temper for her own imagined self-esteem.
Orm is not angry. To a certain extent, he is the same as Nereus. He does not care whether Mela is really willing to marry him. What he wants is not Mela's sincerity. What he wants is Mela.
Her identity, her identity as the heir to the Kingdom of Zebel!
As for whether she is happy or not...does it matter?
So Aum smiled at Mela's little tantrum.
"Don't think that I don't know your tricks!" Mela seemed to be irritated by Om's calmness, and she spoke a little unscrupulously: "Atlanteans are the children of the ocean, and we will not give up because of your ambitions.
To start a war that requires killing countless people! My father was just deceived by you!"
"No, no, no, my princess, I am fulfilling the duties given to us by the God of the Sea, maintaining the balance of the world and maintaining the safety of the sea! Human beings have done enough harm to the sea. In the sea, there are species every day because of human beings
And became extinct, our fish stocks were harvested wantonly by humans, and they never went back to consider how many years it would take for those fish stocks to recover. Look here, innocent princess, this place used to be beautiful!"
Orm felt the need to make it clear. Although it didn't matter what the princess thought, if she could cooperate, things would be simpler. Orm pointed to the outside of the border city of Atlantis. "This place used to be overgrown.
Seaweed and various marine life, but it is precisely because of human pollution that no grass grows here! Sooner or later, these pollution will enter our land and turn our rich territory into a dead place! We must fight back! Let humans fear the sea!"
"Standard tyrant remarks, in order to save some people, you have to kill another group of people? You call this salvation? This is tyranny. We have a better way!"
"Method? You mean hiding under the sea and diligently wiping the butts of those on land? No! That is not the future that Atlanteans should have! The order of the world should be made by us!" Orm said.
said.
Mela was unmoved. She sneered and said: "No matter how beautiful you say, you can't change one thing! That is, you must get the consent of four countries before you can launch a war. This is what all Atlantis
This is a law that everyone here needs to abide by! Without the consent of other countries, you cannot launch a war, even if you bewitched my father! In addition, don’t forget that according to the law, you are not an orthodox king at all! You also have an older brother!
Queen Atlanna’s eldest son, he is the king’s legitimate heir.”
The people of the sea also have primogeniture, and there has never been a law prohibiting mixed blood from ascending the throne, so theoretically Orm is not considered orthodox.
Orm's expression changed, but he quickly returned to his original state: "The Fisherman Kingdom is just a group of cowards. As for the Saltwater Kingdom... we'll see!"
After saying that, he returned to his previous politeness and led Mela into the land of Atlantis.
Mela looked indignant.
…
The day after the incident occurred, a stealth Quinjet arrived in the sky outside Topsham.
"So what is our mission this time?"
A tall and handsome man stood in the control room of the aircraft and asked with a relaxed expression: "Are we going to fight against the mess of mutants again?"
His name is Grant Ward, a seventh-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. He was adopted by a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a child and grew up in S.H.I.E.L.D. He is a covert operations expert of S.H.I.E.L.D., a typical martial artist, and
Guns are much stronger than words. But they also have shortcomings. They are not good at teamwork and communicating with team members. Due to their personal personalities, their ability to handle tasks is slightly lacking. It is a sharp knife, but it is not suitable for overall planning.
Phil said helplessly: "We are agents, Ward, not superheroes. We should use a more agent-like method to do things, but fight and kill every time."
Ward curled his lips, obviously disdainful. The agent's method? Doesn't it all rely on fists and bullets in the end?
Mei walked in from the side: "We are about to reach our destination. Can we announce the mission now?"
There was also a man and a woman standing next to him. The woman's name was Gemma Simmons, a level 5 agent of SHIELD. She worked in the Science Department of SHIELD, majored in biochemistry and was an expert in mutant research. She was a person who loved science.
The ultimate scientist. The man's name is Leo Fitz. He is also a level 5 agent, a mechanical engineer and an electronic engineer. He is responsible for designing and building all tools and technology networks. He is a person who is out of touch with reality. His big
He spends most of his time with Agent Simmons. He has been inseparable with Simmons since the SHIELD Science Academy. Both of them are the youngest graduates of the Department of Science and Technology. The craziest arguments may arise between them.
But after 10 minutes it will be like nothing happened.
In addition to Hawkeye and Natasha, these four people are members of Phil's special team. The reason why these people entered this team is that they have been screened at all levels, have the cleanest backgrounds, and are trustworthy people.
Phil nodded. This team has always operated like this. The mission target will only be disclosed when it is closest to the mission.
It's for confidentiality.
Although this somewhat affected the team's early preparations, fortunately everyone was elite, so it was not a big deal.
"Have you ever heard of Atlantis?"
"Huh?" Ward looked like you were teasing me.
On the other hand, Fitz and Simmons, two science geeks, immediately became excited.
Simmons screamed: "Ah! I knew I was right! Atlantis really existed! This time we are exploring the ruins of the Atlanteans, right?"
Fitz was a little frustrated: "How is it possible! The existence of any civilization will leave traces. How can Atlantis really exist in this world! If Atlantis really exists, then the movement caused by its silence can cause
A global tsunami, or even a mass extinction!”
"I'm sorry, Fitz, that you lost the argument with Simmons, but I can tell you that Atlantis has always existed."
"Always there?" Fitz quickly grasped the point.
"Yes, not only that, they have always been there, living in the deep sea!" Phil was actually shocked by this incident. If Natasha hadn't tried her best to ensure that there was a truth to the picture, he wouldn't have believed it.
"Living in the sea?" Simmons asked curiously.
"Yes, they developed a brilliant civilization under the sea...well, they are more advanced than us." Phil continued.
"How is that possible?" Fitz still couldn't accept it.
"We have passed the God of War Ares, encountered ghosts, and aliens, and now you are still saying 'how is it possible'? In this world now... nothing is impossible!" Phil also became more and more disappointed with the current situation.
The crazier the world feels, the more hopeless it becomes.
All kinds of monsters and monsters came out.
"Looking at the bright side, at least we humans are not alone, right?" Simmons comforted with a smile.
Ms. Simmons is an avid lover of aliens and strange creatures.
"Sometimes I still hope that we humans can be lonely, so that at least we won't be invaded by aliens."
"Okay, the chat is over. I want to recount our mission to contact the Atlantean living on land. If possible, we can recruit him and let him join the Avengers project."
Ward almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Please, you haven't given up on that plan yet? Because of the stupid things we did, those superheroes don't like us very much."
