My Magic Age

King Janna wanted to see us. Ying Li and I looked at each other. Before we could respond, there were chaotic sounds in the yard.

Justus said to me with a strange look on his face: "Queen Vicky's waiter is also outside, and Queen Vicky also wants to summon us."

…

When passing through the square at the intersection, I saw many Janna mermaids gathered in front of the bulletin board, and someone was reading the content on it in Janna language.

The atmosphere in the square was a bit solemn, and some Janna people even covered their faces and cried bitterly on the spot. People kept coming together, and there were even people running around telling each other on the street. Some of the Janna mermaids clasped their hands in front of their chests, bowed and prayed towards the notice board.

A group of eight of us followed the Janna guards of the Silver Guards and walked silently to the palace. The slender Janna mermaid Miss Tia accompanied Yingli.

Ying Li looked at the Jana people in the square and asked Miss Tia: "What are they doing there?"

"The news of Her Royal Highness the Princess's death was officially announced in the City of the Abyss today. A funeral will be held for Her Royal Highness tomorrow morning. Some of these people cannot accept the news that Her Royal Highness the Princess is dead." Miss Janna Mermaid Tia told us.

She is Queen Wiki's personal attendant and has a certain amount of power in her hands. It was she who stopped King Janna's waiter and took us to Queen Wiki's palace. When we meet King Janna later, probably Wiki The Queen will make corresponding arrangements.

"Do the Janna people in Haiyuan City know about this?" I asked in surprise when I heard Miss Tia say this.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel is really loved by the people here!"

I sighed when I saw the Janna people on the street spontaneously gathering in the square at the intersection.

After hearing what I said, Miss Tia said matter-of-factly:

"Of course!"

Mermaid Miss Tia's voice was a little high-pitched, as if those words were exactly what she felt.

Unexpectedly, she was also one of Princess Ariel's admirers.

Ying Li and I looked at her with puzzled faces. She lowered her head slightly embarrassed, and then explained to us:

"When Her Royal Highness the Princess was here, she not only adjusted taxes and promoted oyster shells as the universal currency of the Endless Sea, but also encouraged men in Haiyuan City to hunt sea beasts in the open sea. In Haiyuan City ten years ago, the residents of Xiacheng District clicked If you can't afford the magic tower, you can only see the glow on those magic towers during festival celebrations. Now you can see the magic flames in almost every light shield. Although everyone worked a little harder, at least this city no longer It’s so lifeless.”

Unexpectedly, Princess Ariel has done so many things for the Janna people in the Endless Sea. Yingli and I said at the same time:

"Princess Ariel is truly amazing!"

Seeing us praising Princess Ariel at the same time, Miss Janna Mermaid Tia said happily:

"Actually, it's much more than that. In order to determine the sea boundaries, Her Royal Highness the Princess once led the Royal Guards to go to the border of the Endless Sea to suppress several waves of sea beasts, preventing some Janna tribes from being wiped out. Until now, that border area The Janna tribe and some sea monsters nearby only accept the seal and orders of Her Royal Highness, and they do not trust our king. "

There was an unconcealable excitement on her cheeks. She didn't expect that when we talked about Princess Ariel, she would have such a big reaction.

"I heard that King Janna is the biological brother of Princess Ariel?" Ying Li asked her at the right time.

"Well, the king and the princess are both born to Queen Wiki. The princess has always been the person our king respects the most..." Miss Tia said to us while nodding.

"I think King Janna must love Princess Ariel very much." Ying Li continued.

When she said this, Miss Tia did not show any approval. She put away the smile on her face and did not continue.

Then Miss Mermaid changed the subject: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yingli, do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Ying Li said: "Well, I have a twin sister..."

…

The place where Queen Wiki received us this time was in another palace of the royal palace. The walls of this palace were inlaid with many crystal stone hexagonal prisms. Almost the entire palace seemed to be built with crystal stones. Those huge crystal stones The crystal pillars are about ten meters long, and their surfaces are polished so smooth that they can reflect human figures like mirrors.

The entrance and windows of the entire palace adopt a floor-to-ceiling round arch structure, and light red gauze curtains hang from the dome, giving the entire palace a very charming atmosphere.

Eight Janna guards in silver armor stood at the entrance of the palace. They walked into the palace along the red carpet. The entire hall was covered with a thick red carpet, and the walls of the palace were also built very luxuriously. A group of Janna mermaid maids surrounded them. Around the soft bed, someone was holding a fan, someone was holding a tea set, someone was carrying a fruit plate, and the Wikipedia The queen was lying on this soft bed. A Janna mermaid was using a delicate small brush to take care of the green scales on Queen Vicki's lower body. Another Janna mermaid was using a small brush to clean her green scales. The scales are coated with gold powder, the fish tail on Queen Wiki's lower body is slightly plump, and the scales on the abdomen are a little white.

The great wizard Janna was sitting on the sidelines with her body outlined. She was holding a magic circle in one hand and a skull crystal ball in another hand. She sat there with her eyes closed as if she was about to fall asleep, with old wrinkles stacked on her face. Together, the body is so thin that only a skeleton is left. The skin on the arms has large and small dark brown age spots. There are not many scales left on the loose skin of the tail, leaving only some diamond-shaped markings, revealing a clear skeleton. .

Behind the Grand Wizard of Janna stood two witches of Janna. They were also holding light blue crystal balls in their hands. They had some oil paint on their faces. They had many tattoos of different styles on their chests, backs, arms, and abdomen. Those are very exquisite magic pattern structures, and the magic halo flows continuously along the magic pattern lines. I understand those strange magic runes too well, because these runes are beyond the cognitive scope of ancient Elvish language.

Queen Vicki held her cheek with one hand and looked at Ying Li with half-squinted eyes. She glanced at me from the corner of her eye and waved to the Janna mermaid maid beside her. A Janna mermaid maid asked Ying Li to sit down. The sea animal skin sofa looked very soft. Ying Li sat down in a palace dress embroidered with silver threads. The wide skirt just covered the sofa.

There was an unconcealable tiredness on Queen Wei's face, and she was a little absent-minded when she spoke. She said to us: "Princess Yingli, I heard that a group of assassins broke into your residence last night. Those thugs didn't hurt you. "

Her spirit was worse than yesterday. It seemed that the death of Princess Ariel had hit her hard.

Ying Li straightened his back and sat on the soft sofa, still maintaining the etiquette of the Green Empire royal family.

When Queen Wiki asked about the assassination that took place last night, she replied: "Those thugs injured two of my guards, but not me, Queen Wiki."

"Then I'll be relieved."

Hearing Ying Li's answer, Queen Vicki patted her chest, as if she breathed a huge sigh of relief, and even her breathing became much easier.

Her words "I'm relieved" came from the bottom of her heart, which made Yingli and I feel the enthusiasm behind Queen Vicki's alienation.

Queen Vicki's voice was a little weak, and her breathing was uneven, like a patient who had been bedridden for a long time.

She comforted us in a weak voice: "Recently, a group of foreign Janna people have sneaked into Haiyuan City. Although the royal guards of the royal city have been searching hard, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net lurking in the city, so the recent period Time, Princess Yingli, please don’t travel at will. If you want to go somewhere, you can tell Tia and let her help you coordinate the escort to ensure your safety. "

Hearing what Queen Wiki said, Ying Li quickly thanked:

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Wiki."

Queen Weiji nodded slightly to Yingli and said, "Princess Yingli, you have come all the way, and we should do our best to be the landlord."

After saying this, with the support of the mermaid maid, Queen Janna sat up from the couch. She sat on the couch and looked around the four walls of the hall. Her eyes were full of emotion and she said to Ying Li: " I invite you here this time just to show you Take a look at Ariel's palace. Before she got married, she had been living here. The architectural style here, the decoration of these rooms and halls, and the plants, trees, flowers and stones in the yard were all decorated by Ariel himself. , I’ll take you around here.”

Unexpectedly, this exquisite palace is actually the residence of Princess Ariel. Not only does it seem to occupy a large area, but this crystal palace is also quite luxuriously decorated.

Queen Wiki led us to a wall. There was a row of display cabinets filled with various honorary medals, trophies and souvenirs. Under each display was a note with some Janna words recorded on it. Justus on the side translated the text on several notes. These notes seemed to record some of the honors Princess Ariel received during her growth.

I didn’t expect it to be plastered all over the wall. This is a perfect example of ‘other people’s children’.

Queen Vicky looked at the honors on the display cabinet, her eyes became extremely soft, and she said to us: "She is a romantic and caring person, but also has a high vision. She likes to pursue perfection and strive for the best in everything."

Afterwards, Queen Vicki took us out of this gorgeous crystal palace and into the yard at the back. There were actually some plants and trees planted in this yard, and everything in the yard was meticulously tidied.

Queen Vicky stood in front of a statue in the center of the courtyard. The statue was made of polished marble. Looking at her exquisite face, I vaguely remembered that this was a full-length portrait of Ariel.

At this time, Queen Wiki looked at the statue with a hint of sadness in her eyes and said:

"She is a perfectionist and strives to be the most perfect in everything. However, there are so many things that come as one's heart desires. Even if she truly becomes the King of the Seven Seas, everything will not go as planned."

Princess Ariel of this statue holds a trident in one hand and a staff in the other, in a fighting posture, standing on a stone base with a heroic posture.

Queen Wei turned around, looked at Ying Li and said:

"She said that she should respect her heart and enjoy the love in this world. She is the shining star on the endless sea. She must become a role model for all Janna people, and she must make the Janna people in the seven seas envy her happiness. In the end, maybe it was these obsessions in her heart that harmed her..."

At the end of her speech, Queen Wiki choked up and found it difficult to continue.

It seems that most of those rumors are true. Princess Ariel's emotional entanglement with the Lord of the Seven Seas, as well as the death of her lover on Agalega Island, made her anxious.

Queen Wiki knew very well that the person who killed Princess Ariel was not King Kazbin, the Lord of the Seven Seas, nor the lover of Agalega Island, but Ariel herself. She pushed herself To the height of admiration by thousands of people, everyone who looked up to her felt that she had everything, and she thought so too.

She is an extremely conceited and extremely proud princess.

After walking around the palace of Princess Ariel, a general outline of the image of Princess Ariel emerged in our hearts. From the day she was born, people around her had high hopes, and she was burdened with many challenges. What she wanted was the glory of the Endless Sea and the revival of Janna's civilization within the Seven Seas, but it was a pity that she lost to love in the end.

"It was Ariel's last wish to invite you to Haiyuan City..." Queen Vicki looked at Ying Li and said softly.

She took Ying Li's hand and sat down on the stone platform under the statue in the garden, leaning against the statue of Princess Ariel.

Queen Wiki said to Ying Li: "Over the years, she has been thinking about the ceremony ten years ago. The vicious human princess ruined her beauty, but she also deprived a human princess of her beauty. She felt that this This is the greatest injustice to you..."

Queen Vicky looked at Ying Li's face seriously, her slender pale fingers traced across Ying Li's face, and she said very sincerely:

"...So, this time she wants to return her beautiful face to you after death. In fact, it is not just to let you have this beauty again, but to let her dreams and love continue in you."

Ying Li smiled unnaturally, and she remained silent.

Queen Wiki went on to say:

"Maybe you will think this ceremony is ridiculous, but in our opinion, this is an inheritance of Ariel's spirit. Yes, this is the inheritance of Ariel's spirit."

She looked up at the huge magic light shield, chasing the magic towers above her head, constantly jumping between these towers.

Queen Vicki held Ying Li's hand, caressed her long black hair, and said softly: "She has done a lot for the Janna people in the Endless Sea over the years. We don't want those who have just been hurt in the hearts of the Janna people to The budding longing for life was wiped out by Ariel’s death. I hope that one day, when they see you, they will feel like they have met Ariel.”

She looked at Ying Li, with a look like a mother looking at her daughter, with an indescribable sadness in her eyes:

"Promise me to attend tomorrow's funeral and accept Ariel's passing ceremony..."

"..."
