The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 260 Parliament, price, and surging hearts

In the parliament hall.

A dozen well-dressed congressmen with dignified faces sat at the long table, facing the masked woman standing in front.

She was obviously just a woman, but just standing there, her aura seemed to overwhelm the congressman.

Sunlight penetrates through the glass dome on the roof, and takes shape due to the refraction of the glass. Regular light spots are projected on the woman, while the councilors and the long table are in darkness.

At this moment, it seemed as if the congressmen were beings trapped in darkness, and the woman was an angel descending from the sky to save them.

Like an ancient fairy who was active in ancient times and was born with a beautiful voice, the woman's beautiful voice echoed in the hall of Nuo University.

"My master told me that if you want to seize this only opportunity, you need to pay one-tenth of your family property."

After a moment of silence, the parliament hall that used to represent the highest governing body of the Starry Islands suddenly erupted like a vegetable market.

"This is impossible!" The council members burst open their nests like angry lions. "Even the most expensive and powerful mercenary group in the Western Continent can't open your mouth like a lion like you!"

"Why don't you just go grab one-tenth of our property!?"

"I think you are teasing us! Guard, catch this woman and throw her into the sea to feed the fish!"

The congressmen glared angrily, some clenched their fists, some became furious, and some called out to the guards, all in different shapes, like the epitome of all sentient beings before disaster strikes.

Even Parliament Speaker Hardman had a sullen face. Even though he had already prepared to pay a large sum of money in advance, he was still shocked by the masked woman's tone.

One-tenth of the family property.

Xingyao City has been occupying the Xingyao Islands for hundreds of years. It was first occupied by a group of immigrants from the mainland. With their advanced ideas and production tools, these immigrants quickly integrated with the local primitive tribes. In this dotted archipelago, thrive on.

Passed down from the multiple noble families to which these immigrants belonged, thirteen parliamentary families were gradually formed. Each family has a member representing its interests, and an election is held every five years to select a symbol from among the members. The most powerful Speaker of Parliament.

The thirteen council families are interconnected and have continued and maintained this order in the Star Glory Islands for hundreds of years.

Over the past few hundred years, the amount of wealth each family has accumulated through various methods of operating the Starry Islands can be called a dragon's treasure trove. Even though an accident a hundred years ago caused them to lose a lot, they still have wealth. It is unimaginable to outsiders.

And now this masked woman wants one-tenth of their family property as soon as she opens her mouth! ?

What kind of Mediterranean joke are you kidding?

Hearing the shouts of the congressmen, the heavily armed guards immediately opened the door and filed in, surrounding the woman. If she showed any sign of resistance, the sharp sword light would fall on her.

Facing the cold swords of the guards, the masked woman showed no trace of fear or fear. She just stood there quietly, her eyes unwavering, and looking at these guards with a hint of disdain.

"stop."

The voice of Council President Hardman caused the guards to stop. They looked at each other and then put away their weapons, but still stood ready.

"Does your master know the concept of one-tenth of our family property? His appetite is too big, isn't he afraid of being stuffed to death?"

The masked woman smiled faintly, "The master's heart is big enough to hold an ocean."

"So there's no need to discuss it?"

"Life cannot be discounted."

With veins bulging on his forehead, Hardman resisted the urge to curse and waved his hand.

"Then please leave first."

Hearing this, the masked woman was not upset and made a farewell ceremony that was more elegant and standard than palace etiquette.

"If your Excellency is willing to accept this small condition, then come to us on the island on the northern edge of the archipelago, and we will stay there for some time."

After saying that, the woman stopped staying, turned around quickly, brought a wisp of sea breeze, passed between the guards and disappeared behind the gate.

After a brief silence, arguments broke out in the hall again.

"This condition is too harsh. I didn't expect this so-called savior to be like this. It's too deceiving!"

"I see, she is just a liar and has no strength to stop the tide of sea beasts."

"Don't think that Xingyao City really has no resistance at all. We have a powerful army, and the coastal defense batteries on the island are not immune to resistance."

"Yes, I would rather sink all my money into the sea than give it to someone with such a big appetite!"

"But what should we do? The tide of sea monsters will arrive in two days at the earliest."

Hardman looked at the quarreling members, feeling a little headache and irritated. This is what the parliamentary system is like. Most of the time, they are noisy and argue without effective suggestions.

In the end, he could only slam the table hard.

The sounds in the hall gradually stopped.

Hardman said solemnly: "No matter what, send someone to monitor this masked woman first to prevent them from making small moves in the Star Glory Islands when the tide of sea beasts comes!"

"Yes, we have to keep our wealth!"

"Leviathan tides are a threat, and these guys that appear suddenly are also a threat."

This time it was about security and wealth, and the House of Representatives quickly reached an agreement.

On an island outside the Xingyao Islands, Ji Chen stood on a high ground and looked at the islands arranged like a chessboard.

Behind them stood a group of heroes of the Crown of the Ocean. Not far away on the sea, thousands of troops armed to the teeth stood like statues, waiting for the lord's orders.

soon.

A figure speeding across the sea appeared in the distance. When it reached the edge of the island, it jumped lightly, landed on the ground with a few splashes, and then came to the front with elegant steps.

The masked woman took off her mask, revealing a face so beautiful that it could stun all living beings.

This person is Alice.

After leaving the parliament hall of Star City, she immediately rushed back here and calmed down a little before she spoke.

"My lord, they refused."

Ji Chen nodded slowly without any surprise. Wanting these aboriginals to give out one-tenth of their family property at once was obviously not a target to be taken lightly, and he did not expect to be able to convince them all at once.

But he was not worried about this, because those congressmen would come to them.

"All camp!"

"Let's rest here for some time and wait for the good show!"

Door to the Parliament Hall.

The two secretaries came out and stretched out their hands to block the dazzling sunlight outside.

I waited until my eyes got used to the light a little before I put my hands down.

Seeing that there was no one around, one of the scribes whispered.

"Who do you think the beautiful masked woman was? Is she an aborigine or a player?"

"Of course she's an aborigine. Didn't you see the transparent fins behind her ears? She's probably some intelligent sea tribe... Wait, how do you know she's beautiful? Isn't she wearing a mask?" Another player was surprised. road.

The former patted his chest and said confidently.

"I guarantee with ten years of experience in Paradise, that girl's pussy is super beautiful!"

Paradise is a legally operated red light district in Jewel City, offering a one-stop shop for eating, drinking and having fun, which is comparable to heaven and earth.

It is a place that is very popular among both players and aborigines.

"We have only been in this world for a few months, and you have ten years of experience!?

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me whether she is pretty or not. Moreover, she said she has a master, maybe some subordinate. She sounds so fanatical and admiring, Zizhen..."

The other player was silent for a moment, "Gan, this evil world!"

"Do you think what she said is true or not? Is there really an indigenous force that can help the Starry Islands resist the tide of sea beasts?"

"I don't know either, but the price they proposed is a bit scary. I guess it will be difficult to reach a deal."

"Well, if those congressmen really can't come up with any way to fight against the tide of sea monsters, then we have to pack up and run away. Although they give us a lot of money, our lives still matter."

The latter nodded with deep understanding. Ever since they lost their territory, they had relied on their experience on Blue Star to finally become the secretary of Star City. They thought that with such an iron rice bowl, they could live peacefully. . Unexpectedly, before enjoying the blessing for a few months, a wave of sea beasts suddenly came.

I don’t know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident... What a fucked up world.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, "Since the masked woman said that she can help the Xingyao Islands resist the tide of sea monsters, then we might as well pass this news to other players. Maybe they are willing to invest, and maybe they can impress this indigenous force. .”

"This is a bit of a head start, so that we can at least keep our jobs, and other players probably don't want to give up their territory just like that... I remember she said she would wait on the island on the northern edge of the Star Glory Islands?"

"That's right, it's settled..."

The pair opened the forum and began writing about what they had seen and heard in the council chambers.

Because the two of them became the secretaries of Star City, they could more or less touch some of the council's policies, so there were quite a few players from the Star Islands paying attention to their forum.

When a pinned proposal appeared on the forum, it immediately attracted the attention of many players.

The circulation speed of forum information was extremely fast, and soon all the players in the Xingyao Islands knew that there was an aboriginal force here that could help resist the tide of sea monsters.

Some players half-believed it or not and went to the northern edge of the island where the aboriginal force they said was located. When they saw a scary-looking army stationed there, they suddenly became excited and quickly transferred this Word spread to the forum.

"Holy shit, is it really true? With just a few thousand troops, can they stop dozens or millions of sea beasts?"

"Although there are only a few thousand troops, I saw that they are all fifth-level troops. Wouldn't it be like chopping up melons and vegetables and killing them randomly to deal with those low-level sea beasts?"

"Is this army from the indigenous people or the players?"

"They must be from the aborigines! How could the player have such a ruthless army after only a few months? If not, I would abstain from going to Paradise for a year!"

"Brother is so cruel, I admire you little brother!"

After receiving the confirmed news, many players also began to think about whether to spend some money and resources together to let this army take action.

Their territory is in the Xingyao Islands, and their roots have been deeply rooted here. With a sense of belonging, they are reluctant to abandon the land here and abandon the not-so-smart but very simple citizens.

The only variable is that they don't know how much the army will cost, and they won't be able to bear it if the lion opens its mouth.

Watching the sun gradually set and a full moon rising into the sky, many people find it difficult to fall asleep.

Xingyao City is a stepped city built around the central mountain. The closer the residences and estates are to the mountain and the higher the altitude, the richer and more powerful they are.

As the managers of the Xingyao Islands, the Thirteenth Council Family naturally locates their estates at high altitudes, occupying only a dozen flat lands on this mountainous area. The environment is elegant and the scenery is beautiful. You can see it directly when you look down. To the low Star City and the distant sea.

Here, the parliamentary families have established independent facilities so that their descendants can enjoy a privileged life from birth.

However, the residential area in the valley below is extremely crowded. A large number of poor people are crowded into iron houses, wrapped in thin quilts filled with cotton wool, resisting the cold sea breeze blowing in from the holes in the houses, and enduring stomach pain. Feeling of emptiness.

Ever since the news of the impending sea monster tide reached the islands, the residents had become restless, especially when there were rumors that the congressmen were planning to flee with their property.

The gentlemen should do their best to stop the tide of sea beasts. Why do you want to leave?

When some daring residents ran to the door of the city hall to ask, they were beaten by vicious guards.

This seemed to indicate whether the rumors were true or not, which made all the residents panic. The gentlemen could take their property in a big boat and leave safely under the service of their servants, but little people like them could not leave in a big boat. There was no way those boats could cross the ocean.

Just when the residents were extremely frightened, another rumor emerged.

There is a powerful army from a distant continent staying on the Starry Islands. Their strength is enough to resist the terrifying sea beasts.

As long as the congressmen pay a little price, they will come forward to help the Starring Islands.

But even if the old man wants to leave, he is not willing to pay that little price.

"Master, why are you doing this? As long as a few gold coins flow out from their fingers, you can defend this place. Why are you still unwilling?"

"Obviously they are already very rich, why are they not willing to pay such a small price? This is too cold-blooded..."

"You are crazy. If those guards hear you say these words, they will beat you to death!"

Rumors spread among the people and reached the ears of the legislators, making them furious.

What a small price to pay! ?

This is one-tenth of their family property, something you untouchables can’t earn even in ten thousand years!

They immediately sent soldiers to arrest the residents who said this and put them in jail, but they still couldn't stop the rumors from spreading.

At the same time, the fleet of the Star Glory Islands finally observed the surging tide of sea beasts coming from the south, and was ordered to attack by the parliament.

However, the terrifying tide of sea beasts was far beyond their imagination. The overwhelming sea beasts rushed towards the battleship with grinning teeth despite the gunfire. They caught up with the battleship in just one encounter and ate all the living people inside, leaving only more than a dozen shabby ships. Broken battleships floated on the sea.

The congressmen were completely panicked now. They didn't expect that more than ten powerful warships could not even delay the pace of the sea beast.

At the same time, public opinion in Xingyao City quickly fermented after receiving the news of the fleet's defeat, and the public opinion about letting the unfamiliar but very powerful army participate in the war also became rampant.

Even if the congressmen sent people to appease them, it would have no effect.

You can't beat me, you don't have this ability, you know.
