Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan had no intention of going to Atlantis, but just wanted to observe the mermaids up close and see what secrets their tribe had.

He never expected that he would come to the legendary lost city of Atlantis, which really surprised and delighted him.

Xiang Nan then entered Atlantis and saw that the city was full of ruins. Broken stone pillars, collapsed roofs, destroyed statues...

Xiang Nan sighed and was amazed.

He could see that thousands of years ago, this city should have been very magnificent, very spectacular, very beautiful, and very lively.

There must be many people living here, believing in and worshiping Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his subordinate gods. This can be seen from the statues of Poseidon that can be seen everywhere.

But now, the city has withered. The prosperity of the past has disappeared, leaving only ruins.

"Is this the punishment of the god king Zeus? So where is Poseidon, the god of the sea, and is he still alive, or has he disappeared?" Xiang Nan couldn't help thinking.

In "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", the location where the trident of Poseidon is stored is called "Poseidon's Tomb". And Poseidon's main city Atlantis has now become a ruin...

All signs indicate that Poseidon, the god of the sea, seems to have disappeared. His throne of the god of the sea was taken over by Colibuso, who is also a descendant of the Titans.

Colibuso's father Atlas is a Titan who holds up the sky. However, there is another saying that Colibuso's father Atlas is the eldest son of Poseidon. The city of Atlantis is managed by him.

In short, the ancient myths are full of mysteries, and Xiang Nan guessed that there may be great secrets hidden in them.

...

Xiang Nan continued to wander in Atlantis.

It was seen that although the city was located in the deep sea, it was not pitch black, but had dots of light.

Xiang Nan noticed that these lights came from a kind of shiny stone.

This stone is as transparent as crystal and glass, in the shape of a hexagonal column, and flashes with white light. Therefore, the underwater city is not only not dark, but full of light.

"This should be the legendary magnetite." Xiang Nan guessed.

Plato once mentioned in his "Dialogues" that the energy of Atlantis was provided by magnetite. This stone can store solar energy and release it, so that the whole city is not lacking in lighting and power.

"It is indeed high-tech." Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire.

You must know that even at the end of the 21st century, the utilization rate of solar energy by humans is still not high. However, the Atlanteans in ancient times were able to use solar energy so efficiently, how can it not be amazing.

Xiang Nan then entered the central area of ​​Atlantis and saw that the central location of the city was the habitat of mermaids.

There are probably tens of thousands of mermaids in this habitat, but there are only a small number of male mermaids, and most of them are female mermaids. But unlike the unparalleled beauty of female mermaids, male mermaids generally look ferocious and ugly.

Mermaids live in huge shells, surrounded by beautiful corals, pearls and gems for decoration.

Xiang Nan also noticed that the tails of these mermaids are of different colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and almost all colors.

He has seen "Pirates of the Caribbean: Over the Horizon" and knows that mermaids are divided into groups and classes according to the color of their tails.     Red-tailed mermaids are servants who are responsible for doing hard work; green-tailed mermaids are soldiers who are responsible for protecting mermaids, hunting prey and robbing stolen goods; blue-tailed mermaids are rulers who are high above and enjoy life; purple-tailed mermaids are free and are not controlled by the trident of Poseidon.

The reason why the blue-tailed tribe can rule other mermaid tribes is because they have been blessed by the goddess of the sea, Colibuso.

Not only do they have the trident of Poseidon, but they also took down the blue gems in the trident that control the blue-tailed tribe and hid them in the cabinet that Colibuso helped them build.

In this way, they can control other mermaid tribes, while their own tribe does not need to be controlled.

As for the reason why the purple-tailed tribe cannot be controlled, it is because the purple gem that controls them is born deformed, so they can only be influenced but not controlled.

Later, Captain Jack got the trident of Poseidon. At the request of the purple-tailed mermaid Tangla, he dug out the various gems on the trident, smashed them all into powder, and returned all the mermaids to freedom.

However, the book records that he hid the sapphire that controlled the blue-tailed mermaid and did not smash it, just in case. In addition, he also appointed the purple-tailed mermaid Tangla as regent for him.

…

When Xiang Nan arrived at the center of Atlantis, he saw the huge Temple of Poseidon, in which stood a tall statue of Poseidon.

The statue holds the trident of Poseidon, towering and solemn, and is decorated with gold, silver, brass, pearls, ivory, gems, etc. It is elegant, noble and sacred, and makes people respect it at first sight.

However, Xiang Nan can also see that the statue has traces of breakage and damage. It should have been broken and glued together again. Because the statue is covered with deep cracks and many parts are damaged.

"Is Poseidon really dead? Otherwise, how can he not even protect his own temple?" Xiang Nan couldn't help thinking when he saw this.

When he entered the temple, he saw the group of mermaids who went hunting before being punished.

It turned out that they went out hunting this time and got nothing, which angered the mermaid supervisor Tangla, so he decided to punish these mermaids and teach them a lesson.

"Why are you so incompetent? You went out hunting but came back empty-handed?" He angrily scolded, "With the power of the regent granted to me by the king, I declare that they will be hung up and each of them will be whipped with twenty whips."

Then the mermaids were tied by their tails and hung upside down on the rack, and then whipped with whips by other mermaids.

I don't know what kind of leather this whip is made of. When it is swung in the water, it is not affected by the resistance in the water. It whips the mermaids quickly and cruelly, leaving a deep wound every time it is whipped, causing the mermaids to grimace in pain and wail.

But when Tangla heard these miserable howls, he not only had no sympathy, but was very happy, as if he heard fairy music.

While listening to the wailing of his fellow mermaids, he smiled and tasted the red wine. Those red wines should be robbed by mermaids.

Because they would also rob passing ships like pirates, dragging the cargo, money, and sailors on the ships into the sea.

Xiang Nan felt a little sorry when he saw this.

Not to mention the other mermaids. Everyone present showed dissatisfaction, helplessness, anger, and resentment on their faces.

But no one dared to speak out to stop it, and they all dared to be angry but not to speak.

But Xiang Nan could see that their dissatisfaction was accumulating and their anger was being suppressed.
