up to this god

Sol slowly drifted back to the side hall, and found that Orm hadn't rested yet, waiting for him in the living room.

The interior of Egil's palace is completely different from that of Atlantis. The latter is simple and modern, while the former is decorated with rounded gemstones and corals to every corner of the table, and has stairs and balconies that conform to the habits of land people.

Aum was sitting on the sofa, looking in a daze. As soon as Saul entered the door, he stood up: "If there are no other changes, our signing ceremony with Egil can be carried out immediately. Nereus declined because of the busy schedule Invitation, he sent the queen and siren to watch the ceremony, it should not be regarded as an insult to you."

He seemed eager to rest, and he touched the back of his right shoulder to untie his cloak: "The location of the ceremony is set above the hydrothermal area I showed you."

Thor swam close to him, stretched out his hand to move his fumbling fingers up a little on the cloak, and Orm undid the button instantly.

Thor took off the rouge spiral around his waist, and the cloak gently stroked Aum's pleated armor with the water, and because Sol suddenly pulled Aum closer to him, it floated aside.

"Aren't you curious about my conversation with Egil?"

Orm and Saul's waists were pressed together, he first looked at Saul in surprise, and then raised his chest awkwardly, keeping his upper body away from him.Thor wrapped his arms around Orm, and the more he dodged, the tighter the cage tightened until the streams of water exhaled by the two intersected.

Aum supported Saul and looked to the side. He seemed to want to deal with flirting as a test, and tried his best to ignore the ambiguous atmosphere like an anemone: "We all have responsibilities, and we shouldn't force ourselves to be honest."

"Is this your truth?" Saul asked, gently trying to touch the other's forehead, "Is it true that the first love will be weighed on a scale, and it will be squeezed to seventy-eight with other weights?" fall?"

"Politics is not dirty, it's just that human nature is too difficult to measure and difficult to control." Aom suddenly turned his gaze, and looked into Sol's eyes hostilely at a very close distance: "Or you want to tell me that you shouldn't want to control human nature?"

"I'm not qualified to judge right or wrong about anything. But I do have a suggestion. It's better not to make the fate of the country your responsibility. Each of them is responsible for themselves. I remember this is also the pursuit of your political system."

Orm seemed to have listened to this sentence, Wei Gong's back relaxed, and he no longer tried to avoid it, so Sol's arms were not a cage.He closed his eyes, allowing Thor to suck on his lips.

In Egil's words, Aum and Saul made this trip to deliver the documents, and the two sides took turns to sign and keep the money. It is sick to climb to the mountain to hold the ceremony.He is a predator who weaves a large net, likes to stay in the center, and doesn't like to wander around. His hunting targets are also ships and sailors on land, and he has no interest in the same kind.

However, Owaks marked the treaty, which was hastily implemented in just a few weeks, at the highest level, allowing dozens of media to watch the ceremony, specifically emphasizing that Aum signed the contract on his behalf because the crown prince can fully perform his duties on his behalf, rather than not paying enough attention.

Thor met Nereus' queen and daughter Sirens during the ceremony.The queen is gentle and quiet, but her daughter is very lively.Egil brought his wife Lan and the three daughters of Yangbo to join him, and the beauty of the red-haired girl Siren was not concealed by her.

She is tall and slender, with a cross-style dress made of blue artificial mermaid tail, which conservatively covers her chest, but fully reveals her shoulders and back.

When all the people sat under the stage, Sol was supposed to be next to the queen, but the siren sat over.She tilted her head unobtrusively like an elf among the trees, and asked in a low voice: "There is no drinking in the sea, so the ceremony is simple, don't you feel bored?"

Sol was actually watching her from the corner of his eye, and at this moment he turned his face generously, making sure that Aum on the high platform had a chance to catch a glimpse of the two talking: "Is my alcoholism so famous?"

"Didn't you visit Egil just to drink?" The siren smiled and said, "Northern Europe and Greece do not disturb each other. The friendship contained in this treaty is not as much as vigilance. What are you asking for as a mediator?"

At this moment, Aum leaped to the [-]-meter-high platform wearing the highest-standard pure gold armor, with a golden cloak fluttering behind him, and his hands were slightly open, as if pity everything and despise everything, Sol suddenly doubted, indulged, and hesitated about many things at the same time Compared with the painful self, he is the true god, because the divinity is both loving and unkind.

While keeping his eyes on the people in the distance, Saul put on a business smile at the few media who were still taking pictures of them, and said with the corner of his mouth, "Guess?"

"Oh... I like him too."

Sol had to roll his eyes back now.

"I mean, contrary to what people around me think, I kind of like him. Glad you're like me."

"What do people around you mean?"

"For example, my sister said that she couldn't imagine what kind of person would fall in love with the man who exiled her mother. Later, she said that Aum himself also participated in the exile trial that year, because Atlanta's treason was the most important. The crime is to kidnap the heir of the king—another proof—that he has been inhuman since he was a child.”

"... Oh." Saul usually doesn't comment on things that he doesn't know how to evaluate.

"Of course you don't care about it, because you are a god, and no matter whether the rumors are true or false, he can't threaten your safety. We are different. If he inherits the great line, the father's political line must be changed accordingly."

"Then why do you like him? Because you don't believe rumors, or because you like this kind of person?"

"It's so sharp." The Siren stroked her chest and chuckled, "I can add another sentence: 'Are you such a person?'"

She didn't answer the question directly, but instead said, "Do you know why it took so much trouble to sign a contract in the hydrothermal cave area, and to build a palace for this?"

"Why?" Thor asked.

"The attack on the god of the deep sea was unintentional. Orm really didn't know that he was the god of the sea, not a sea monster occupying the magpie's nest. However, the signing ceremony itself is not important. The location is chosen here for future votes. Build momentum."

"What vote?" Saul asked again.

"...As a god, you know too little. Why don't you date me, and I'll tell you everything after the meeting. I'm curious who is more jealous of Aum. He said that if you get married, apart from me Would not choose anyone else."

"Then you and I will most likely receive a pair of engagement rings from him—it's too late to cry." Sol couldn't help laughing out loud, and Queen Nereus glanced over worriedly.

"Anyway, the marriage regulations were also abolished by Uncle Ovax." The siren sighed sincerely, and said, "Ask him about voting."

On the high platform, Aum and Egil signed the spell-binding agreement one after another, and jointly raised a huge scroll half the width of the building to face the media. Surrounding cameras, like bees, circled around the two of them in a hurry.

Orm seemed to be very used to this, after the ceremony, he flew to Sol's side, his expression was neither tired nor excited.

"Siren." He first nodded to the short-haired princess on the left.

"Brother Aum." The siren smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Orm's gaze softened, and Thor found himself able to discern his true mood.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Nereus has rarely invited you and Meera to attend events in recent years, and it's not convenient for me to invite you."

"But as long as you invite me, I will definitely come." Siren replied with wide eyes, her cheeks puffed up with a smile.

"The Estemia Conference will be held in Fisherman's Country soon, you and I can not only meet each other, but also compete on the same stage again." Aum smiled, then turned his head and patted Sol on the shoulder: "Will you stay for a few more days?" ? If you don’t accept my invitation to a duel, you can at least watch my performance.”

"I'm looking forward to it." Saul replied with raised eyebrows.

Sol was invited back to the royal palace in the capital Poseidonia.On the way, he asked Orm: "How is Nereus related to you?"

"Why do you ask that?" Aum in the driver's seat slowed down and turned to look at him.

"The princess told me that Nereus doesn't like you, because he suspects that you are dealing with land people in private, which is contrary to your political views."

Aum was staring at Sol, and when he heard this, he turned his head with a serious expression and a little worry: "Why did the siren bring up this kind of topic... I didn't communicate with the land people in private. On the contrary, the father and the land people have a relationship. Collaborate openly."

He turned on the autopilot, put his hands on his knees, and explained seriously: "Atlantis has two factions in terms of regional development. One faction supports the establishment of diplomatic relations with land countries as soon as possible to stop them from destroying the earth's ecology. To expand the power to the sea, the other faction, that is, we, call on Atlantis to give up hope for land people, build a new city in the hydrothermal cave area of ​​​​the mid-ocean ridge, and use the huge resources there to start space exploration. The future path of ecological destruction will be paved. In order to bring people from the Offshore Sect, my father had to cooperate with country S. Before I first met you, Atlantis and country S had already completed the space cooperation program and nuclear power Contracting for submarine procurement."

"A nuclear-powered submarine?"

"Yes. In 1977, people on land discovered that deep-sea hydrothermal vents were rich in precious metals, and deep-sea development was put on their agenda. Country S wants to develop hydrothermal resources in the Pacific Ocean. They already have good nuclear submarines— - Zero emissions, self-sufficiency, low risk - but our technology is much more advanced. So we will sell a batch of submarines to the state-owned enterprise BREST of State S, and continue to share technology, and State S will help us build a space launch base."

"Isn't that still exposing your existence?"

"No, the location of the base is confidential. Country S also has every reason to enjoy this cooperation exclusively."

"So, signing the contract with Egil in the hydrothermal area is to create momentum for the relocation of the capital?"

Aum looked at Sol with a skeptical expression: "...Yes, I signed a contract with country S before, and my father also chose the hydrothermal area. Is this what you care about?"

Saul said against his will, "That's right."
