In the Name of the Queen

Poseidon, the Sea King.

Born in the deep sea during the Age of Gods, his strength is unfathomable and he has no rivals in the ocean.

Even the three goddesses who ascended to the divine realm could not defeat the Sea King under the deep sea.

He created the ocean civilization, and guided the evolution of potential marine life, either openly or secretly, and evolved many intelligent life forms.

The Sirens are a regrettable work, and the Sea Demons are the ethnic group he is most satisfied with.

The Sea King fell asleep before the beginning of the Magic Age and has not awakened until now.

No one knows where he is sleeping, but the Sea King Palace and the Deep Sea Marshal and the Ocean General faithfully guard the Sea King's territory.

Although the Marshal and the Ocean General have changed countless times, their loyalty has not changed.

Marine life does not believe in land gods, and the only god in their hearts is the Sea King.

Roland reads very quickly.

With his super memory ability, he is like a scanner, and can remember everything he sees.

He stores memories in his mind while reading.

At the end of the Biography of the Sea King, there is a line of small words.

"The Sea King is the only true god of the ocean, and he will surely return."

Roland felt that this sentence was very meaningful. His eyes stayed on this line of words for a moment, and he could not tell whether it was a compliment like "Long live my emperor" or a statement of fact.

He vaguely felt that the Sea King was not a true god, but he was also beyond ordinary people.

He remembered the last emperor and several supreme governors of the Magic Empire.

He remembered the last queen and general of the blood elves.

And the existence closest to the peak in other eras.

Obviously, the Sea King is better than these people. He surpassed the second rank, but did not reach the divine realm of the first rank.

Above the saint, but not the god.

This is Roland's guess about the power of the Sea King.

There is no reason, it is purely intuition.

After reading the Biography of the Sea King, Roland opened the Ocean Almanac again.

The Ocean Almanac is a condensed version of an encyclopedia and history book, recording major events in the ocean and the rise and fall of various ethnic groups in the ocean.

The trilobites that once flourished but eventually went extinct, and the former ocean overlords of all generations, are all recorded in this book.

Compared with the somewhat boring Poseidon, this yearbook has more content, richer records, and a better reading experience.

But Roland knew very well that the value of this book was far less than that of Poseidon.

In any case, these were the books he needed.

After staying in Area A for more than an hour, he came to Area B, where there were books recording various knowledge.

Among them was the Encyclopedia of the Ocean.

Roland quickly flipped through the pages of the book, his brain working rapidly, and began to record.

Women's minds change very quickly. They may be generous today, but stingy tomorrow.

Adina is an excellent political leader, but she is also a woman.

There are not many people in the library. Only nobles and elites can read here. Sea demon civilians also have the right to read, but not here.

In addition to the Central Library, there are several grassroots libraries around Petit.

The books there have been strictly selected and are suitable for civilians to read.

Just as Roland was flipping through the book at a super-fast speed comparable to quantum speed, his abnormal behavior attracted the attention of several young people around him.

A sea demon boy approached Roland with some curiosity, looked at the encyclopedia in Roland's hand, and asked tentatively in poor human language:

"Sir, you read so fast, can you see clearly?"

Roland closed the book casually, put it back on the bookshelf, turned his head to look at the sea demon boy, and smiled and teased: "Can you?"

The boy's cheeks were slightly red, and he answered softly, "I can't do it. My limit is to read two lines of words at the same time, no more."

This is already an amazing talent.

Roland smiled and spread his hands, "I can't do it either."

The sea demon boy looked at Roland in confusion and couldn't help asking: "Why do you read so fast?"

"I just flipped through it casually."

"Sir, please respect knowledge! You are insulting these books like this!" The boy, who was originally a little shy, suddenly blushed and his tone was a little angry.

Roland frowned slightly. He didn't want to pay attention to the boy, but he saw his clear eyes from the corner of his eye.

He is a simple boy.

Most of the young people who can enter the Central Library are born with good family background or have strong talents.

Such a simple child is mostly a greenhouse flower.

Roland thought about it and put the 19th volume of the encyclopedia in his hand back to the bookshelf. He solemnly apologized to the boy, "You are right, I am a little sloppy in reading."

"Yes, I'm sorry, you are a friend who came to Mr. Edward's wedding, right? You are our distinguished guest, I shouldn't be angry with you." The boy became more shy.

Clear and stupid eyes, a little evasive.

Looking at him, Roland seemed to return to his distant student days.

He had an inexplicable liking for the boy and introduced himself with a smile:

"Mr. Edward was once the emperor of our land-based Sussex Empire. I am Roland, the governor of the empire, and I have come here to send him my blessings. His marriage to Miss Witch is a good story of the union of land-based and sea-based humans."

"I, I am Elson, and my mother is the chief priest of the tribe. My mother said that we sea-based and land-based humans were one family in ancient times, and we are relatives."

Hearing Roland call him a sea-based human, the boy was in a good mood and quickly introduced himself.

Roland invited Elson to sit down in a corner of the library and chatted with the boy.

Through the small game of asking and answering, Roland had a better understanding of the process of Adina and Edward's acquaintance.

In short, it was love at first sight.

Damn love.

Roland complained silently.

Although he complained, he was still very grateful to Adina.

Without the sea witch's interception, Edward might have been killed by General Haiao, or used as a bargaining chip to trade with the empire, or even used as a puppet to cause trouble.

Even if General Haiao did nothing, as long as Edward was released, it would pose a huge threat to the foundation of Sif's rule.

Edward was only in his forties.

For a politician, the forties are the golden age. Can he willingly give up power?

Fortunately, there is Adina, who gives him a reason to give up power.

His daughter does better than him, so he can retire and enjoy his old age.

This way, it won't be a situation where the father is kind and the daughter is filial, and everyone is still a happy family.

Everyone has his own happiness.

As for Prince Fino, Roland can only wish him to be reborn into a wealthy family after reincarnation.

The wedding was held grandly a week later.

This week, Sif spent most of her time with her father and had no time to spend with Roland. She could only apologize to Roland.

Fortunately, Roland was busier than her. He was transforming into a scanner and frantically grabbing knowledge from the ocean.

How many more inheritor badges could he get by bringing this knowledge back and spreading it widely?

He was already at the color level. Would there be a new level if he upgraded it?

Roland was a little curious.

To satisfy his curiosity, he sped up the scanning process.

His daily actions would be reported to Adina by the librarian.

When Adina heard that Roland was reading ten lines at a glance, she was silent for a moment and asked the librarian and other administrators not to disturb him.

Just read it. Since it can be displayed, it can naturally be made public.

She was about to get married and was very busy. She had no time to take care of these trivial matters.

Time passed quickly, and the time spent busy doing things was even faster.

A week passed quickly.

The wedding ceremony of the Sea Witch officially began.

The important guests who came to the wedding included the envoys from the Sea King's Palace and the envoys of the four generals of the ocean, as well as the envoys of the Nubian Kingdom who had a good relationship with the Witch Palace, etc.

In addition, people from all walks of life in the underwater city of Petit and the surrounding areas came to participate.

General Haiao's family did not participate, but only sent people to send gifts.

Of course, they were unwilling to participate. General Haiao and the Sussex Empire were enemies, and even he himself died at the hands of the Sussex people. However, the Sea Witch married the former emperor of Sussex, which made them feel uncomfortable.

Adina didn't care what they thought.

After General Haiao's death, there will naturally be someone to take over, but in any case, General Haiao's power will go downhill in the foreseeable future.

Adina will not miss this opportunity.

She will gradually erode General Haiao's sea area and expand his strength.

It is both taking advantage of the fire and venting Edward's anger.

Just as people were thinking about it, the wedding began.

This was the first time Roland and Sif attended a grand underwater wedding, and they were all a little curious.

The gorgeous carriage pulled by the giant shark slowly drove into Poseidon Square along the road separated by the ocean current.

Edward was waiting in the square. Adina was riding in a giant shark carriage, wearing a crown and gorgeous clothes. The smile on her lips seemed to be the sunlight shining into the seabed, especially bright.

In the VIP seats, Sif's smile was equally brilliant.

In order not to steal Adina's limelight, she covered her face with a scarf today and dressed very simply.

Her eyes were slightly moist.

Her father remarried, and she only felt a little regretful, but was 90% happy.

Adina was really good. If you put aside the emotional factors, she was a better match for her father than her mother and Fino's mother.

Of course she had to bless her.

Adina saved her father twice.

The first time she took her father away from the prisoner camp, and the second time she took her father away from the vortex of power.

Dear father, and young stepmother, I wish you happiness!

Sif silently grabbed Roland's hand and murmured in a voice that only she could hear:

"What will my wedding be like?"

Roland did not answer, but held Sif's hand more tightly.

Sif's smile became sweeter.

This time it was because of Roland.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Adina got off the giant shark car and walked towards Edward, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress.

At the MC's signal, Edward knelt on one knee, took out the prepared ring, and prepared to propose. When he was about to say the words of marriage proposal, Adina also knelt on one knee opposite him.

"Dear, no need to beg, I agree."

She didn't propose.

She didn't want Edward to beg in public, even if he was willing.

Edward certainly understood her intentions, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was trembling.

"Dear Adina, I will accompany you for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, he took the ring and put it on Adina's finger.

Applause rang out, and cheers continued.

Just as everyone was cheering for the sincere love, a discordant scene appeared.

A black-clad assassin appeared from nowhere, and the short trident in his hand stabbed at the defenseless Edward like lightning.

"Old man, die!"
