Her goal is Arthur.
"Atlantis is different from you people on land. Our attitude towards laws is very strict. Once a law is established, everyone must abide by it. And among the laws of Atlantis, there are regulations regarding heirs.
Among them, the eldest son and eldest daughter have the natural first place."
"But Arthur...he is a mixed race and grew up on land." Nick Fury asked.
"But the law does not stipulate that pure blood is required for the succession of the throne. What's more, Arthur's talent is no worse than that of the pure-blood king, or even stronger." Mela did not lie about this. Arthur's talent is indeed very good.
Strong, even stronger than Orm.
"Then what should we do?" Batman asked calmly. "Go to Atlantis in a big way, and then have Arthur hacked to death? Especially after this incident."
If we say that in the past, most people in Atlantis were disgusted with Arthur at most, because of him, Queen Atlanna was forced to be sacrificed. But in the final analysis, these things have nothing to do with most ordinary people. The Queen is very good.
But so what, their life is not bad now. Strictly speaking, Om is ambitious, but so what? Isn’t it normal for a ruler to be ambitious? Besides, it is precisely because of ambition that
Orm needs support, so under his rule, the Kingdom of Atlantis is living a good life. If they had polls, Orm's support rate would still be quite high.
So the Queen's sacrifice did make the people of the Kingdom of Atlantis a little sad, but that's it. At most, it was discrimination against Arthur, and no one would really hate him. After all, what happened to Arthur had nothing to do with them.
But it's different now.
Someone in the Kingdom of Atlantis was killed because of Arthur!
This nature is different. They don't care. It was Orm who sent them to kill Arthur, and they were killed instead. They only know that Arthur killed the Atlanteans!
This is enough!
As long as Orm is a qualified ruler, the blame for the sacrifice of those soldiers and tide sage will definitely be thrown on Arthur, as long as public opinion is consistent. Who the hell will care about those who have some and those who don't? After 911, Xiao
This is what Bush did. Nowadays, many Americans are complaining about George W. Bush's IQ problem and complaining about Iraq being wronged. But who objected at that time? Public opinion said that if you have weapons of mass destruction, you do!
In short, Arthur is no longer an irrelevant person in the eyes of the Atlanteans, he is a murderer!
How do you expect those Atlanteans to treat him?
Welcome along the way?
Return to the throne, and be protected from immediate humane destruction by the Queen!
"I can secretly take Arthur to the Kingdom of Atlantis. As long as he openly proposes a duel to Orm in the throne room, Orm will never refuse!" Mela said.
"Challenge?" Batman said in surprise.
After all, the level of civilization in Atlantis seems to be very high. How could such a barbaric project be as popular as in the Middle Ages?
"This is an ancient tradition, a duel before the gods." Mela explained: "We Atlanteans still retain our awe and belief in the gods. So this ancient sport has been preserved. But now
It is basically just a competitive sport. Although it is dangerous, it will not lead to death. This is a very noble sport, and the participants must be the best warriors, because weaklings are not qualified to show their bravery in front of God. Of course
The most ancient role of this sport has not been abandoned. It has the highest ruling power in the entire Atlantis! Only the victors will be recognized by the gods!"
As for what will happen to the losers, there seems to be no need to say more.
Although they think it's a bit ridiculous to lead a wanted criminal directly to the enemy's base camp, Batman and Nick Fury both feel that since this woman dares to speak, she must be sure. So the only question now...that is whether to fight Arthur or not.
Get over that Om.
So the two of them looked at the person involved, Arthur.
Arthur stood up: "No problem! I do!"
Since Arthur agreed, Nick Fury and Batman would naturally not stop him. After all, this is the best way. If it succeeds, it will undoubtedly solve the current problem perfectly. And even if it fails...it doesn't seem to be better than
It's even worse now. Others are about to fight. If you win, everyone goes back to their home. If you lose, you can continue to work hard.
"Would Orm agree? Would a king be willing to duel with an illegitimate son?"
Even if it was the Dark Middle Ages, no king with a bad brain would agree to such nonsense. There is no benefit to winning, and you will just burp when you lose. What a loss.
"Yes! You don't understand our insistence on the law. If Orm can defeat Arthur, then his legitimacy will be impeccable! He will not let go of this opportunity!" Mela said decisively.
"Then... the last question is, is Arthur Aum's opponent?"
Mela looked at Arthur: "You need to ask Arthur this question."
Arthur had a question mark on his face. How could he know? He only recently found out that he had a younger brother.
To be honest, Arthur felt quite strange that he suddenly had a younger brother. If possible, he would also like to meet this younger brother. In fact, until now, he doesn't hate this younger brother very much. After all, if this kind of thing happened to him,
Perhaps his reaction will be even more intense than that of Om. Everyone's position is just different, and it doesn't necessarily mean who is right and who is wrong.
Seeing Arthur's confusion, Mela was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have seen your weapon, it is Queen Atlanna's Mother Trident."
The mother halberd is a silver five-pronged halberd with gorgeous decorations. It is a secret treasure of the Kingdom of Atlantis and a very excellent weapon.
"As for your abilities, someone must teach you. And someone who knows how to use the royal family's abilities must have a high status in the Kingdom of Atlantis."
In fact, Mela had always suspected from the beginning that Arthur had an insider in the Kingdom of Atlantis, otherwise many things could not be explained. After all, although the abilities of the Atlantis royal family require talent, they also require corresponding training.
This is not something that ordinary Atlanteans can touch.
"Are you talking about Vico?" Arthur had a very good impression of Mela and had no intention of keeping it secret at all, so he blurted out Vico's name.
"Nudis Vico?!!"
Nudis Vico was no ordinary person. He was the advisor and warrior commander of the third generation King of Atlantis, and an absolute important official of three dynasties. Mela did not expect that Arthur would have the support of such a big shot.
On the contrary, Nick and Batman looked at each other, and it could be seen from the princess's expression that Vico was not simple.
