From the Deep Sea

Turashya, the Tower of Omniscience.

The Chairman looked at the report and remained silent for a long time.

Kant flatly rejected the Council’s request and sincerity. He was adamant that negotiations were not allowed.

Thunder rumbled in the air.

After a long while, he said in a low voice,”About the Phoenix King and Kant…” Is it true?”

The gossip and romance between the Elven Empress and Kant, a native of Aurora, had spread to the mainland at an extremely fast speed. It was the most searched news in recent times. From the nobles to the commoners, almost all intelligent creatures were talking about it with relish, regardless of whether it was in the cities, villages, or even the palaces.

Considering the primitive information situation in the other world, there must be someone behind this strange spreading speed. In fact, this was indeed the case. This was a tacit understanding between the higher-ups and interest groups across the continent, and their motives were surprisingly the same. Everyone felt that Mosesloy, and with such a good opportunity to disgust the powerful and domineering Twilight Moon Dynasty, why not?

This was the first time in the Foreignland that there was a phenomenon of a couple.

After hearing about this, the Great Chairman secretly instructed his subordinates to instruct the bards to sing a few more verses. He also ordered the captains and traveling merchants on the trade routes that were extremely developed by the Arcane Council to force them.

As the saying went, the words of the masses could not be compared to gold. Not to mention that the leaders of the superpowers had personally ordered the spreading of rumors. The Great Speaker knew that the emperor of the empire would most likely have similar actions. The rulers of every country, big or small, would definitely join in if they had been cheated or humiliated by the arrogant elves. After all, they were all made of mortal flesh and blood, and they could not get rid of the sad and deep-rooted bad habits of humans.

They were eating melons, bragging, and personally making big news.

However, they were just boasting and rumors after all. Even though the Speaker was secretly pleased to see the rumors flying everywhere, deep down, he still did not think much of the rumors.

Even if something like love existed, it would not appear on the Elven Empress, not to mention that she was a human. The so-called elven pairing with a human was just a song sung by third-rate bards to fool the members of the Peach Fullness Network. Those in power only looked at benefits, and the higher the status, the more so.

Phoenix King Deirilla ruled over the Sunset Moon Dynasty and dominated the world. She was the king of kings, the king of kings. Considering the heated discussions in the country, why would she be moved by a human?

He used to think so.

But now, seeing Master O’Malley’s reply and complaint…

“This arrogant bandit! Arrogant Easterners! How dare you reject the good intentions of the council!”

Councilman Oxington’s angry voice echoed in the starry sky council.

However, his anger concealed the joy in his heart. When he saw Master O’Malley’s report, he heaved a sigh of relief. Since Kant had rejected the council’s request, humiliated the council, and refused to rescue the Azure Fleet, the relationship between the two sides would be irreconcilable.

Therefore, conflicts and contradictions were inevitable. Since Kant had rejected the rescue request, the responsibility of causing the Azure Fleet to suffer heavy losses could now be placed on this person from Aurora.

In this way, Councilman Oakington had managed to avoid a disaster. After all, he was the one who had suggested not to trust Kant and act alone. If Kant agreed to rescue them, both sides would enter a honeymoon period. The Great Chairman and the opposition in the council would take the opportunity to deal with him. After all, someone would have to take the blame. Now, conflict was inevitable. The Great Chairman and the council had to rely on the power of the Oakington family to deal with the threat of the forbidden spell.

With that thought in mind, he changed his dance. This was the stage for an anti-Senator Kang performance.

“I told you! The people of Aurora could not be trusted! He had no respect for the council at all! He even used this excuse to brush us off! To say that the untouchables were nobler than the excellent spellcasters and soldiers of the council was a complete humiliation!

We must take action!”

Kant had really lost his mind. What was he thinking?

Senator Fermat frowned. He was indeed greedy for Kant’s candy, but Oakington’s arrogance was still beneath his notice.” The most important thing now is the safety of the Azure Fleet’s officers and soldiers. They’re in danger and are barely holding on. There’s a risk of being wiped out at any moment. Since Kant refuses to provide full rescue, the Council will have to think of a way to save them…”

He paused for a moment.” Or,” he said,” we can continue negotiating with Kant and get more reinforcements.”

Oxington raised his eyebrows. He wished Kant could destroy the Azure Fleet with a Forbidden Spell. That way, there would be no turning back for both sides. A war was about to break out, and he would not have to worry about being held accountable.

Thinking of this, he shouted,” Look, look. At this point, our Councilman Fermat still doesn’t dare to sever ties with the people of Aurora. Is he that afraid of him? Were they counting on him? Which side is your butt on? Are you Kant’s spy?”

” I only want our soldiers to return safely,” Fermat said furiously.” You only wish to start a full-scale operation with Kant so that you can sell your family’s defensive magic devices! You are the real traitor of the council, using the flesh and souls of innocent soldiers to make money! F * ck your mother!”

“How dare you slander me!”

“Then tell me how we should save them!”

The two sides were at loggerheads, and it looked like they were going to fight again.

” Silence!” the Chairman said.

The two of them were pulled back to their seats by their colleagues.

” Don’t put too much hope on Kant.” The Chairman, who sat on the Sun’s Throne, was silent for a moment.” If I’m not mistaken, Kant has completely sided with the Sunset Moon Dynasty.”

The councilmen were stunned.

” Think about it,” the Great Speaker suggested.” The Azure Fleet has been completely annihilated, and the naval forces in the western waters of the council have suffered heavy losses. What kind of consequences will it cause? Who will benefit the most?”

” Elves!” Many councilmen’s expressions changed.” Elves!”

The Council had opened up the southern countries and the islands beyond the sea. They had used magical technology to promote productivity, trade, develop crafts, and export plantation products. Their share of the market had increased year by year, and the ever-expanding national interests required stronger military forces to protect them. This was the reason for the great construction.

As new ships continued to enter the sea, their military strength continued to increase, and they defended the expansion of free trade. It was inevitable that they would have conflicts with another interest group. An economic conflict would become a political conflict, and a political conflict would eventually materialize into a military conflict. This was the reason for national competition and many wars.

As the hegemon of the world, the elves blocked the position of the council and the empire.

Disagreements and conflicts, hidden battles under the table, happened all the time.

What happened today was understandable at the national level.

Kant’s rejection of the council was extremely abnormal and rebellious, but he was definitely not a lunatic. There must be a deeper motive behind some of the seemingly abnormal choices.

For the sake of the lives of more than 10,000 commoners, not only did he reject the Council’s requests for help, favors, and generous rewards, but he had also greatly damaged the diplomatic relations between the two sides and planted the seeds of hostility. No rational person would do such a stupid thing, but Kant had done it.

What did this mean?

” It means that he is happy to see it happen,” the Great Speaker said casually.” Also, his abnormal behavior can bring him great benefits and benefits, so much so that he can ignore the great losses and potential dangers brought about by rejecting the council. In other words, he thinks it is worth it.”

” He hopes that the Azure Fleet will be completely annihilated here and that the Arcane Magic Council’s power in the Western Sea will be severely damaged.”

” But now, he doesn’t have a conflict of influence with the Council. Just integrating the Broken Islands and restoring the distant port’s trading status is enough to spend a lot of time and energy. Even if the distant port will have a conflict of interest with the Council sooner or later, it will be a long time ago. Why should we start a feud now?”

” Then, there’s only one explanation left.”

” Kant isn’t happy to see it. The elves are.”

” The elf gave him a promise… No, it’s not like that.”

Looking at the dumbfounded councilors, the Chairman was silent for a moment.” Kant is suspicious and cunning. He won’t act on his own accord just because of empty promises. He has a blood feud with the elves, which involves hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It can make him completely side with the elves and even act directly for the benefit of Mu Yue…”

“Only the love and chastity of the Phoenix King.”

” That’s the only way Kant would believe in him and do his best for the benefit of the elves. Heh, it makes sense. The elven queen might try her best to rope in Forbidden Spell Mages, but she would never offer her love and body. The only thing that could make a world overlord do such a thing is love.”

He revealed an extremely complicated expression. His heart was surging with emotions, and all kinds of thoughts rose in his mind.

“They must be together.”

F * ck you, why?

After listening to the Chairman’s analysis, the councilmen were enlightened, and all their doubts were resolved.

After that, she felt extremely sour.

The news made them even more unhappy than when they heard that Kant had built a large warship and a large plane. They ate their lemons crazily and were really envious.

They looked at each other and then corroborated the Chairman’s deduction.

” Now that you mention it, I think it’s true. In the Battle of Distant Harbor, the Empire’s fleet was almost completely wiped out, and half of our Azure Fleet sank. Only the Elf Fleet was almost unscathed. Kant was indeed plotting all of this in secret. He had colluded with the Elves long ago.”

” During the war of grain prices in the distant port, Kant opened the door to the valley and threw out a huge amount of grain. We investigated for a long time, but we still didn’t know where he got the grain from. Hmph, he’s eating soft rice. Ptui!”

“The Twilight Moon Empire has actually invested so much…”

” Humph. Kant is nothing more than that. Look, even though he said that he would send three carriers to rescue the Canglan Fleet, didn’t he? He clearly doesn’t dare to offend us too much. His previous attitude was so resolute. It’s most likely that the Phoenix King is forcing him too tightly. Heh, he’s afraid of his wife…”

The councilman couldn’t continue.

If my wife were the Elven Empress, I would kneel every day…

From the beginning to the end, no one discussed or paid any attention to the excuse Kant used to reject the council.

In their eyes, it was just a perfunctory prevarication without any sincerity at all. It even showed their disdain for the council. It was an insult to say that the ten thousand people on the Broken Islands were more important than the soldiers of the Azure Fleet and the friendship of the council!

No one felt that Kant was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Someone who thought like that must be out of their mind. Kant was so cunning, so he definitely wasn’t.

Pfft, a gigolo who lives off a woman.

” I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Other than this conjecture, there’s no other reason why Kant would make such a choice…If that’s the case, we’ll have to adjust our approach.”

” Kant is the enemy,” the Chairman said calmly, interrupting the crowd’s discussion.

” Of course, we have to be careful with this decision. After all, the consequences of starting a war with a Forbidden Mage are unpredictable. Even if we have a way to restrain and deal with him, we will have to pay a huge price.”

” However, it’s not difficult to determine whether Kant is really in cahoots with the elves.”

“We just need to see if the elves will send a fleet to the Broken Islands, if they will suffer losses, and if they will temporarily retreat,”he said softly.

” Regardless of whether Kant has an affair with the Phoenix King or not, the council will have to make some changes.”

” I suggest that we increase the research and development of the magic-powered aircraft. The people we sent to the distant port have already drawn the sketch of Kant’s aircraft and have a rough idea of its power mechanism. We can try to replicate it, reverse engineer it, and absorb the wisdom and knowledge contained within.”

” I suggest that, regardless of Kant’s true motives, his reply has already humiliated the dignity of the Arcane Magic Council. Since the people of Aurora have rejected peace, he should be prepared to bear all the consequences. Therefore, we should suspend all friendly actions to repair relations with Kant and promote communication. We should speed up the preparation of plans to resist the Forbidden Spell Mages and classify Distant Harbor as a potential hostile force.”

” Condemn Kant’s invasion and plundering of the Broken Isles. We will not acknowledge him. We will support the Chamber of Commerce and branches of the Broken Isles that are wandering in the outside world. We will set up a blockade, isolation, and hostile competition against the Far Harbor on a commercial level. We will obstruct Kant’s attempt to move the Western Sea Trade Center back to the Far Harbor.”

At this point, the speaker’s tone was sharp and fierce.

“Pay close attention to the outcome of the Battle of the Broken Islands.”

” If Kant fails or even fails,” he said slowly,” the council will use all their power to make this arrogant Skyquaking Dragon suffer even more.”

The councilmen looked at each other. Some of them hesitated, but in the end, they also raised their hands in agreement.

Kant had indeed gone too far.

After the vote, the council began to discuss the follow-up support for the Azure Fleet. Considering that the strong enemy this time came from the sea, and based on Kant’s successful experience, support and rescue could only be launched from the air. Other than summoning the air forces, the council was also urgently contacting the Flying Dragons.

The dragon race was too expensive, and there were very few of them. It was not suitable for such a large-scale rescue.

Moreover, Dragon Island seemed to be having an affair with Kant as well. How the hell did this pretty boy do it?

At this moment, the Great Chairman’s expression changed slightly. He extended his hand and conjured a Thunder Talisman in the air. The new information came through the magic net. The ruler read it for a moment and revealed a strange expression.

“There’s new news from Kant’s side,” he said slowly, gesturing for the councilmen to be quiet.

“Beg for mercy or compromise?”Councilman Oakington shouted.

“Neither.”

” Kant asked us for the coordinates of Ocean Traveler when it was attacked,” the Chairman replied.” This is the first condition for rescuing the Azure Fleet.”

“Are you going to give it to me or not?”he asked the councilmen.

“Of course not!” The few councilmen reflexively refused.

During this time, the Navy Department had been trying to contact the Ocean Traveler, but only Observer Dakur had escaped. The rest of the crew had not returned. The situation was extremely bad. The councilmen had a tacit understanding and were prepared for the worst. However, the loss of the Ocean Traveler was not great.

Observer Dakur, who had escaped and returned, had offered his last loyalty to the Council with his hot-blooded and steely will, even though he had gone insane.

At the cost of his life, he provided extremely important information, revealing the scales and claws that the Ocean Traveler had come into contact with before the attack. That was enough to reveal the vast picture behind the fog.

An unprecedented terrifying monster.

There was also a huge underwater city.

Destroyer.

Ruins.

The fog of history, the destroyed civilization.

Elder Wen Ku was already checking the documents on the pottery shard to make a comparison.

That shocking discovery seemed to confirm a guess of the ancient scholars, and it meant endless archaeological discoveries, and even a great leap in the field of magic…That was the greatest contribution of the Ocean Traveler.

They were extremely excited about this and were preparing for further exploration and excavation. Of course, all of this would have to wait until the battle of the Broken Islands was over. They even wanted to use Kant’s forbidden spell to completely destroy that terrifying monster and then snatch the most delicious fruit of this incident without the Skyquaking Dragon knowing anything. But now, Kant asked.

“We can’t tell him!”

Such a big secret had to be kept a secret. Furthermore, they had already deduced that Kant was very likely to be in cahoots with the elves. As such, it was even more impossible to reveal it.

” If we don’t say anything, then rescuing the Azure Fleet…”

“Then tell him a fake one!”

“If I am seen through…”

“Do I have to emphasize how important this secret is?”

The council was once again embroiled in a debate. The Great Chairman looked at the council members who were quarreling and frowned slightly, growing increasingly impatient. He sometimes envied the Elven Empress and the Emperor.

Before the debate could reach a conclusion, the Speaker’s expression suddenly changed. Light flashed, and the emergency teleportation device in the Council opened the dimensional gate. The Minister of the Navy, who was commanding the rescue work in the Navy Department, directly used the teleportation circle to cross space and shouted,” Mr. Speaker! Everyone! Emergency!”

Everyone shut up and looked at him in confusion.

” We’ve been sending messages to Ocean Traveler, but there was no reply until just now…”

The minister took a deep breath, but he could not hide his shock and confusion. However, the ones who answered us were not the crew. The ones who controlled the resonant light pen and left the message were definitely not our people, because the words that appeared on the dark crystal sounding board in the naval headquarters were words that I had never seen before!”

All the members of the council, including the Speaker, stood up!

” Where are the coordinates of Ocean Traveler now?” the Chairman asked immediately.

The minister gulped.” After it lost control, its coordinates basically didn’t change. The depth kept increasing…” It seems to have sunk into a certain area of the deep-sea ruins.”
