Arcane Lord

This gave Chateaubelluno a new assessment of his power. Of course, this was only limited to the underwater environment. If it were on land, the power of the tide would not have the advantage, and the Tide Queen would be no different from an ordinary high mage.

Even because of the deficiencies in the magic system, he may not be as good as the ordinary high wizards from various countries on land!

…

Soon, Xia Duo and his party entered the interior of the Shining Tower under the leadership of the sea elf guards. Unlike the exterior, which glowed with light and dark at all times, the interior of the Shining Tower looked dimmer.

Of course, no matter how dark it is, it is at least enough for Xia Duo and others to see the internal structure clearly.

Before entering the Radiant Tower, Sha Duo thought that the tower might be similar to a mage tower, with a large number of magic facilities inside, but in fact the main body of the tower was more like a scaffolding and an elevator.

Only the palace at the top, known as the Pearl of the Deep Sea, is the real magical building.

Xia Duo and others entered the interior of the Guangyao Tower from the middle, passed through the hollow walls made of white shells, bone and gelatinous materials, and waited for a while in the hollow upper and lower passages inside.

Then, a water ball that was obviously lighter than the surrounding water rose up from the bottom of the tower, wrapped it up when it got close to Sha Duo and others, and then took them up at a rapid speed.

It only took a few seconds to reach the top of the tower from almost the middle position - a bowl-shaped structure held up the pearl-shaped palace above firmly through the invisible power of magic.

Here, Xia Duo saw more sea elf guards, all wearing hollow armor on their upper bodies and tight trousers that resembled fish skin on their lower bodies. Traces of fish scales being peeled off could still be seen on the surface.

The weapon they were holding was of course a trident, but it was more refined than the ones held by the sixteen guards who brought them here. From the surface, it seemed closer to a ritual weapon than a weapon.

But in fact, these tridents that he just saw gave Xia Duo a much stronger sense of threat than the previous sixteen.

Even without additional stimulation, the affected water flow naturally surrounds these guards holding tridents. Their defense capabilities against magic have yet to be further verified, but Xia Duo estimates that their defense against physical attacks can at least withstand them. A piece of armor.

"Friends on land, the Queen is waiting for you in the Palace of Stars, please come with me!"

The sixteen guards who originally led the way left, and the new one was the guard captain guarding the palace. The so-called Palace of Stars was actually at the highest point of the entire palace.

The sea elf mage used magic to project the stars that could be seen on the sea onto the transparent dome of the palace, and used certain means to adjust the contrast between sunlight and starlight.

Therefore, even if the sea is in broad daylight just after noon, the stars twinkling on the dome can still be seen in the Hall of Stars. Of course, the sun can also be seen, but it is not as dazzling as it is on the surface, and seems to have become a A soft chandelier illuminated the entire Hall of Stars like daylight.

Seeing such a scene, Xia Duo speculated that the Guangyao Tower might also use the natural lighting on the sea instead of purely creating light through magic, but this was not the time to consider this now.

The Queen of Tides has arrived.

This is a Sea Elf woman who is equally strong and even stronger than most of the Sea Elf men Shado has seen. She wears a jeweled crown and a gauze. The lines of her muscles are intuitively depicted by the gauze as she moves. come out.

In addition to the Queen of Tides, the meeting was accompanied by two advisors who were also wearing gauze and holding scepters. They stood on a seashell position on the Queen's left and right hands and cast a majestic and wary look at Chateau and the others.

"Meet Her Majesty the Queen, meet two advisors."

Sha Duo and other alliance mages did not say anything, but Meira came forward to greet her. The Tide Queen nodded slightly. Unlike the two advisors who continued to look directly at each other, she just glanced at it and then talked to Meira:

"Are they the Northland Alliance representatives you mentioned?"

"Yes, they are here on behalf of the Northland Alliance to discuss a major matter related to the fate of the world with Her Majesty the Queen."

"A major event related to the fate of the world? Does this matter have anything to do with Belluno?" The Queen seemed to disagree with this statement, but the fact that she personally received the people on the ground was enough to illustrate her true thoughts.

In this regard, Meira said: "Cinaria has just learned about this matter. I asked the alliance consultant Master Shado, who knows more about this, to explain it to the queen."

With that said, Meira gave up her position, and other alliance mages also turned their attention to Sha Duo. Sha Duo then took a step forward and briefly introduced his identity. Then he did not explain immediately, but looked at the two Queen's Advisor:

"What I'm going to talk about next is related to the fate of the world. Before it is decided, any disturbance may change the final result. I believe in Her Majesty the Queen, but these two advisers, could you please step aside for the time being?"

The Queen of Tides has no reason to betray the world, but the Queen's advisors may collude with the Illuminati. Shado originally intended to meet with the Queen alone to clarify his position, but Belluno arranged a rather formal meeting.

But even so, he wanted as few people as possible to know.

Since the sea elves have been separated from the surface for a long time, and they are in a water environment, their language has long been different from the surface. The first is the voice and intonation. The vocal organ is immersed in the water, which makes the sound duller but more penetrating.

Secondly, in terms of semantic expression, compared to the increasingly complex expressions of the surface elves, the sea elves stripped off many additional syllables representing emotions and details, making the sea elf language closer to the standard language most commonly used by non-elves on the surface.

In the surface elf kingdom, although the elves can understand such language and speak such standard language, they are mostly in some specific occasions where they need to deliberately emphasize the lack of emotion, such as talking to the enemy, similar to the stick reading understood by Shado.

In normal communication, especially when communicating with non-elves, they will not use such standard language, but use complex additional semantics that are difficult for non-elves to learn to show their superiority.

However, such additional semantics can provide a more accurate description for those who truly understand the elven language.

This is the way Mela used when talking to the Queen of Tides, in which there was a very clear reminder of the seriousness of the situation, not through tone, but only through language.

Shado also used this method at this time, emphasizing the importance of the next major event to be discussed, as well as the respectful hint of suspicion to the Queen's advisor.

If the standard language is not subtle enough, it will make his suspicion of the Queen's advisors public and force both sides into a corner. After all, even if the Queen really doesn't trust the two advisors, she can't say it in front of outsiders.

Now it's over, giving full respect to the Queen and the two advisors. Since the Queen has decided to meet the land visitors, she naturally has her own considerations. In this case, she will pay more attention to Xia Duo's hint.

"The two advisors should step aside for the time being. There is no need to inform other advisors about this matter for the time being."

"Yes."

The two advisors didn't say anything, responded and temporarily left the Hall of Stars. (End of this chapter)
