Chapter 605 Mermaid Elder
Xiao Yu entered the island under Yu Yue's leadership. There is a palace on Crescent Island. Its appearance and style are very different from human architecture. The entire palace is built on the beach. One-quarter of the part is flooded in the water. It is round and full, with a figure of the appearance, snow-white all over, and clear patterns, like a big shell on a beach.
Under Yu Yue's leadership, Xiao Yu entered the palace and walked on the water. The luxurious white jade pillars were all purely handmade products. There were very few traces of magic processing, and it was full of artistic atmosphere. Above the palace was a transparent crystal top. It was evening. The sunset was refracted by crystals. The palace was shrouded in dazzling orange red, with a dreamy beauty.
Yu Yue's return surprised many mermaids, and the news spread immediately. Soon a white-bearded elder brought several mermaid elders to meet Xiao Yu.
The White-bearded Elder went to Wentian City during Xiao Yu's retreat, but he had never met Xiao Yu. This person is extremely powerful and has the power of the fifth-level mid-stage. This realm has been stuck for at least one or two hundred years, and is extremely close to the late stage of the fifth-level mid-stage, only one step away. Xiao Yu fights him without the final trump card, and remains unbeaten at most. For fifth-level people, the strength gap between each level is several times or even ten times. Even for Xiao Yu, it is quite difficult to challenge beyond the level. Such a strong man in a high position must have unique skills and hold a large number of treasures in his hand. It is especially powerful and difficult to deal with and cannot be underestimated.
The elders who rushed over after hearing the news were also among them.
The elder of the reef saw Xiao Yu at a glance, and the shock on his face was beyond words. Xiao Yu did not hide his aura. Judging from the power he showed, he had at least the early stage of the fifth level, and was at the same level as the elder of the reef! Xiao Yu's aura was thick, and he was afraid that his mental power was far superior to that of the elder of the reef, and his strength was even stronger than that of the elder.
"Three Elder!" Yu Yue's eyes were red and she rushed to the white-bearded elder: "I'm back! I'm back! The second elder is dead, all dead..."
The white-bearded elder sighed and said, "I already know, I don't know why, the top secret plan was exposed, and King Hippo is also investigating. The sneak attack did not succeed, but instead lost hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and more than 30 fifth-level elders in the Crystal Sea. We blamed our decision-making for the wrong ones, and we were eager to make the Haige tribe eager to make contributions, perform well in front of His Majesty, and sent twelve elders to fight at once. As a result, hey... forget it, as long as you can come back."
Yu Yue said: "I want to join the battle again!"
The white-bearded elder showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. If the twelve elders are damaged, the foundation of the Haige tribe has been seriously damaged again. King Hippo believes that the Haige tribe lacks generals and cannot be in charge of the army. The remaining 800,000 foreign troops have been incorporated into other tribes. Now, except for the most fundamental mermaid legion of the tribe, there is no other army, and the mermaid legion has been restricted from going to the expedition!"
Yu Yue couldn't believe that King Hipp actually took over the army of the Haige Tribe! Although she was not a senior leader of the Haige Tribe, she was indeed one of the most promising mermaids. She was very popular in the tribe and had very well-informed news. The Haige Tribe has been on a downward path for the past one or two hundred years. Almost few young people with potential can only rely on the older generation of elders to support them. Several respected elders died, and the rest were also very old. The Haige Tribe was sunny and dusk.
But the foundation of a thousand years is still there and it is impossible to collapse easily. However, when the war broke out, the Haige tribe with the highest bloodline and the most powerful clan leader died, and the soldiers and generals were lost on the battlefield. This was definitely a very fatal blow to the current Haige tribe. After the young clan leader ascended the throne, the situation in Crystal Sea became even more turbulent. The elders were killed one after another, and they won fewer victories and more losses since participating in the war, which made King Hippo very dissatisfied. In order to restore the dignity and honor of the Haige tribe, most of the sneak attack troops were composed of the Haige tribe. As long as the rear of Bodongsai was destroyed, it would definitely be a great achievement. Unexpectedly, the plan was exposed and the ambushed was wiped out.
King Hippod believed that the Haige tribe was too severely damaged, so he took away the affiliated legions of the Haige tribe and led them to participate in the war. This basically canceled the Haige tribe's qualification to participate in the war. The Haige tribe is now shaky. War is the only way for the tribe to recover honor. If even the qualification to fight is gone, a large number of emerging tribes will emerge after the war is over. King Hippod needs to reward the seas of meritorious officials. The Song of the Ocean will be replaced or annexed. After all, the Song of the Ocean, no matter its strength or merits, is no longer worthy of the rich seas it occupies.
"Hey, you go down and rest first. Let's discuss this later." The white-bearded elder patted Yu Yue's back of his hand, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Yu. He found that this person was not weak and was not an ordinary person, so he asked, "Is this your friend?"
Yu Yue quickly said, "He is Brother Xiao Yu. Thanks to his help, I can come back. This time I came to the tribe and came to help the Shui Lan Clan leader."
The reef whispered in the ear of the white-bearded elder: "He knows what Shui Lan said about Xiao Yu. When he saw him more than a month ago, he was still at the peak of the fourth level. In the world of less than two months, he not only broke through the bottleneck, but also crossed two levels!"
"You are the city lord Xiao Yu of the City of Tiancheng?" The white-bearded elder showed a look of surprise. "I am Bai Xiao, the elder of the Haige Tribe. I was originally the third elder. Because the second elder died in battle, I am now the second elder of the Haige Tribe. I heard Shui Lan talk about you. I was fortunate to see you today. You are indeed a hero in the world. You are really awesome!"
"The Second Elder has been awarded." Xiao Yu hugged his fists and asked, "As Yu Yue said, I came to the tribe to help Shui Lan and the Song of the Ocean, why didn't Shui Lan see?"
Bai Xiao's eyes lit up and said, "The patriarch is negotiating with the envoy sent by His Majesty. I am afraid he will come back later. It will be dark. It is better to have a meal with us. We can discuss major events, and I can also recommend other elders to you."
This old mermaid was clearly meeting for the first time, but she was so enthusiastic, which really surprised Xiao Yu.
Could it be that Shui Lan has already told Xiao Yu about her relationship?
Xiao Yu immediately guessed this. Bai Xiao and Jiao seemed to have a good relationship. Elder Jiao was Shui Lan's closest clan uncle. He had known about this for a long time. Will Bai Xiao get the news from Elder Jiao? No matter what, Bai Xiao has a very good attitude and obviously has no intention of opposing Xiao Yu and Shui Lan being together.
When night is about to fall, the gems inlaid in the Mermaid Palace replace sunlight. The palace is like half of the day. The transparent ceiling above the head can clearly see the bright stars in the sky.
Xiao Yu was arranged to feast in a huge hall. The floor of the hall was covered with this layer of film. The water was isolated below, and it was soft and comfortable to walk. Through the transparent film, a large number of fish were swimming and playing in the water. Occasionally, one or two psychic white dolphins touched the film with their nose tips. The columns on both sides were hollow and connected to the bottom of the water. Fish often swim into the columns. A wide red carpet was laid on the ground, with dining positions on both sides. The tables, chairs and tableware were all carved from crystals, luxurious and vulgar, showing the life characteristics of mermaids.
The dining here is full of elder-level figures. There are three hundred seats in the hall, and only more than fifty people are sitting. Each one is an old woman or an old man, with white hair hanging down and old, but you can vaguely see the glorious events of the Haige Tribe.
Xiao Yu was arranged to sit down in a relatively forward position.
Bai Xiao sat down in the first position on the right, and the first position on the left was empty, probably the position of the Great Elder. There are more than a dozen steps on the red carpet, and there is a most luxurious main seat on it. It is completely carved with red crystals. Every detail is impeccable, but it is much more grand than the dragon throne of the human emperor, and it must be the position of the patriarch.
Xiao Yu waited patiently for a few minutes. An old woman who was almost too old to walk slowly walked from the front with a crutch, staggering and could fall to the ground at any time. After walking for only 100 meters, she walked for five minutes. Finally, she sat down at the position of the Great Elder. Her turbid old eyes swept across everyone present and finally fell on Xiao Yu.
A powerful pressure burst out.
The old appearance is just an appearance. In the hunched body, there is a roaring dragon hidden.
Xiao Yu felt like he was being stared at by a giant dragon!
"This old guy...at least he is a person of the same level as Xueya, Can Yan, and he is worthy of being the great elder of the Haige Tribe."
Bai Xiao saw that the Great Elder was intimidating with his might, but Xiao Yu sat upright and calmly without even checking anything. He immediately said, "Great Elder, everyone has arrived. Do you think..."
The elder nodded, opened his mouth, which had almost lost all his teeth, and said in a speechless manner: "The ceremony begins, the dishes are ready."
Xiao Yu had a little understanding of the dietary rules of the mermaids. Dinner is the main meal of the mermaids. Before the mermaids hold dinner, there are usually some rituals, including simple sacrifices to the sea god, as well as mermaid songs, dances, etc. When serving, the dishes are served one by one. Usually, more than 200 dishes are eaten for regular dinners. Each dish is placed on a large plate made of jade, but the portion is pitifully small, and it is only enough to eat two bites at most. Therefore, it often takes one night to eat dinner at the mermaids.
This is related to the habit characteristics of the mermaid tribe. The mermaid tribe focuses on quality of life and pursues artistic creation and spiritual life. The tribe and human communication are very frequent and rich. What to eat at dinner is not important. The most important thing is to create an environment for communication. It can be exchanges in artistic creation or discussions on important matters.
After the brief ceremony, several mermaids played soft and pleasant music on the side, and the mermaid dinner officially began.
The elder did not go around in circles and asked straight to the point: "Today's dinner was held for you personally, so that the elders of the clan would get to know you well. I heard that you are a friend of the leader of the Shuilan clan?"
Xiao Yu replied: "Not bad."
The elder laughed dryly and said indifferently: "Are you just a friend?"
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and in just a few short sentences, he got a few messages. First, his relationship with Shui Lan was probably exposed. Second, the Great Elder and Bai Xiao, Jiao were not the same. Third, the Great Elder did not trust him very much, and even had some hostility.
The mermaid tribe is hospitality and enthusiastic. No matter what, Xiao Yu is sitting here as an ally. According to the mermaid tribe's personality, he should not be here. Most of the most important thing is because of the water blue.
Xiao Yu did not directly answer: "The Great Elder wants to know what, so why not ask directly."
"Hahaha..." The elder laughed, put aside the topic just now, and continued, "I heard that you are here to help the Haige Tribe?"
“That’s right.”
The Great Elder asked again: "Then how many people have you brought?"
Xiao Yu said bluntly: "I am the only one."
"One person? Do you know what kind of enemies we are facing?" The elders looked at each other and the elder laughed twice, "Shuilan is one of the best mermaid juniors. There are countless suitors in the West Sea, and even the South Sea have loved her. There are not many young heroes like you. You are not a member of the Sea clan, and it is understandable that you do not understand the times. I advise you not to be hot-headed, so as not to lose your life in the end, and it is not worth the loss."
