18. Brothers in unity(1/2)
If civilization can be nurtured in the ocean...
In the imagination of science fiction, this is a long-lasting topic.
The reason for this fantasy is probably because people always say that the ocean is the cradle of life, and in this world, the area of the ocean is indeed several times larger than that of the land.
If unknown lives and kingdoms are really hidden in the ocean, then the excitement of this world will increase several times in an instant.
But in fact, this world is already exciting enough, provided that you have eyes that can see through the illusion.
Life and civilization in the Seven Seas Kingdoms do exist.
They appeared earlier than land civilizations, and they have been hidden in the "reality" blocked by ordinary days.
Just under the sea, in the dark abyss, countless pairs of eyes peeking at the world of land.
Those lives living in the sea are full of curiosity about the land, but they show disdain. They arrogantly believe that both sides are in two worlds and should never contact each other.
On the coast of Utopian Island, amid the sound of tides rising and falling, Namo, who was leaning on a silver trident, stood on a reef. This powerful mutant looked at the sea in the distance, as quiet as a sculpture.
He was thinking about something.
About his hometown, where he and his mother were born.
The underwater world that people can't like.
A drastic change is about to happen.
Although Namo has been away from that world, he still has his own eyes in the kingdom of Atlantis.
People who are dissatisfied with any system.
They live in it, for various reasons, hate the existing system and desire change, and hope that the change will be carried out by themselves.
They don't pay much attention to the chaos that changes will bring...
What they care about is just change itself.
Those undersea people who are very dissatisfied with Atlantis’ traditions and stereotypes are the best and natural allies of the exiled prince Namo.
Oum, the son of the brutal King Ovax, will succeed to the throne and be crowned in 2 days.
That stinky guy will become the master of the Kingdom of Atlantis.
He would launch a war to show off his strength, find a common enemy for the separated seven-sea kingdoms, and then use war to unite each other closely.
Aum hopes to become the first King of the Seven Seas after the ancient sea emperor Atlan and truly rule the entire underwater world.
He was very young and had enough energy and ambitions, because of his orthodoxy, and was also supported by the Atlantis.
The coronation ceremony in 2 days will be Namo's last chance.
If he could not take the throne from Aum, then Namo's desire for changes to his hometown would probably never come.
Namo looked at the sea water in front of him. Just last night, his allies of the seabed sent a stern "please" that was more like a urging.
They asked Namo to return to Atlantis to challenge Om during the coronation ceremony.
This is a dangerous job, and if you are not careful, Namo will die in the siege of Atlantis soldiers.
But those "allies" ignored this danger and demanded that Namo have to be present.
They desire change, but any change must be sacrificed.
They did not want to sacrifice themselves, so Namo, the exile who had previously claimed to bring a new order to the Seven Seas World, became the best victims.
This is the negative effect of becoming a leader...
Occasionally, you will be pushed into the front desk by avid followers and become a victim of the future you claim
"I knew I could find you here."
A hoarse and cold voice rang behind Namo, and the mutant with a trident did not look back.
He stood there, letting the sea breeze blow his long black hair and slapped his pretty face.
"You look very irritable."
The sound was approaching.
That's a woman.
Wearing a white combat uniform and a white windbreaker, the hem of the windbreaker swayed with the movement of walking with high heels, and was blown around by the sea breeze, dancing around together, and long golden hair.
She has a slender figure and elegant figure, and she always feels awe-inspiring spirit while talking.
It is a temperament that has been in the upper hand for a long time.
"Tell me, what are you upset, what are you upset, what are you worried about..."
The woman raised her feet as she spoke, as if she was about to step into the sea.
But the next moment, she stepped on the air, as if she was stepping on an invisible ladder, towards the reef where Namo was located.
She can control the power of the mind, just like Professor X, she can even use this power of the mind to influence matter.
Or it is more suitable for the motivation to recite.
"Namor, we are friends, aren't we?"
She stood beside Namo. This tall woman was almost no shorter than Namo. She turned her head and could see Namo's slightly gloomy eyes.
She said:
"Friends should help each other, I know you've seen a professor in the early morning."
"I don't know what you've talked about, but the professor seems to have rejected you... That old man is like that, he is careful in his work and indecisive..."
She stopped, lowered her voice and said to Namo:
"But he can't help with your business, maybe I can?"
"I won't join you that Hellfire Club."
Namo glanced at the woman beside him, and he said seriously and indifferently:
"I don't have time to play social games in the upper class with you... Emma, maybe it's better for you to seduce others. I have important things to do, please don't disturb my thinking."
"You guy!"
The White Queen, the head of the Hellfire Club, and the powerful Alpha mutant Emma Frost glared at the cold Namo with a fierce look.
She hugged her arms and said dissatisfiedly:
"You obviously have stereotypes about Hellfire Club, just focus on the surface like other superficial men, but ignore the real importance of the inner world, I said, we can help you."
"And what we expect is the reward you can give us, and you can treat it as a... 'business'."
Emma looked at the rolling sea, and she said calmly:
“We invest and recover costs and the accompanying returns when necessary.”
"I actually know what you are thinking about. I have heard of things about the Seven Seas Kingdom, including what you have been planning, and what is more cost-effective than investing in a future king?"
Namo's expression changed a little.
He turned his head and observed Emma seriously.
The White Queen felt Namo's gaze. She didn't care. Instead, she turned around and put her left hand on her waist, posing in a very seductive position, making Namo look more realistic.
A few seconds later, Namo withdrew his gaze and said:
"I'm not a king, I'm just an exile."
"You're just missing soldiers!"
Emma covered her mouth and chuckled twice. As the shaking of her long golden hair, she leaned ambiguously on Namo's shoulder.
Her slender left hand slid down the muscle lines carved by Namo's knife and axe, and she said in Namo's ear:
"How can a king not have his own soldiers? I can give you the necessary force you need, the entire Hellfire Club will stand behind you for you to drive."
"Although we have a small number of people, we are all powerful high-level mutants. It is not a big problem to deal with a fully armed army."
"We will fight for you, and after you take the throne of Atlantis, you and your kingdom will respond to our desires and fight for us when necessary."
"This is business, Namo, it's like a loan, as long as you nod..."
Emma's fingers held something.
As the fingers moved gently, the White Queen's expression became more charming.
She said:
"You must be hesitating because you don't know what price you will pay after accepting this kindness. Don't worry, Namo, I won't let you do bad things."
“Actually, you can understand that we are working to save the world.”
Queen White sighed lightly and said:
"Imagine, why do professors full of protection and the stubborn Magneto allow Hellfire Club to exist for a long time in the mutant society?"
"We are not conspirators who incite rebellion, although we always act in the shadows."
"For the dangers that have always existed, some choose to ignore them, some choose to avoid them, but some people will do their best to prepare for the future."
