"I've thought about the scene of your arrival in Atlantis.""
Actually, I've been preparing for it since Orm told me about the dream that you met him.""
I thought you would come with an army of hell, and I also thought you would come alone and drown everything with the power of the Father."
On the road leading to the palace of Atlantis, Vico pilots a golden fish-shaped flying machine.He said in a complicated tone to Merlin, who was sitting next to him and admiring the underwater scenery, "But I didn't expect it...
You will appear in that capacity. ”Vico's gaze shifted downward.He saw the golden scepter that Merlin held in his hand.Like a staff, the whole body is golden, but it does not show the atmosphere of luxury or local tyrants.On the contrary, it is like the most beautiful work of art.Two entangled snakes coiled around the top of the staff, one left and one right, opened their mouths wide, like roaring, and on the staff, there was a sculpture of a vivid winged eagle, guarded by two snakes.It is the staff handed over to Merlin by the demigod Lady Cassandra, the symbol of the gatekeeper of the Gate of Atlantis.It is a real "artifact".Forged by the gods of ancient Greece in the workshop of the god of fire, Hephaestus, it was a gift forged by the gods for Poseidon, the god of the sea, to unlock the key to the city of Atlantis.The city of the First Age was built by the gods.Poseidon was its first owner, and Atlanta, the emperor of the sea, was a direct descendant of Poseidon.The Great King of the Seven Seas received the keys to the great city from the departed gods, one of the symbols of the kingship of the King of the Seven Seas.But when the Great Fall struck, Atlanta handed over the key to the mysterious Guardian and fled the crumbling continent and kingdom with his subjects.He saved his people, but he lost his throne and glory.Since then, the real city of Atlantis has been lost to history.This story is fully documented in the literature of the people under the sea.Everyone knows the story of ancient Atlantis, everyone has seen the staff in Merlin's hand in the atlas, and everyone knows the legend of the gatekeeper.But most people think it's just a legend.As most people believe, the origin of the underwater civilization, the magnificent city of Atlantis, has been destroyed in the catastrophe of the Great Fall.The great civilization has died out, and now it can only continue to live under the deep sea as a divided.But the story of that origin is so important that it is engraved in the soul of every undersea man.Even the first city built by the people of the sea in the aftermath of the catastrophe was named after Atlantis.That's not just nostalgia.It's more of an expectation.Perhaps one day, the true homeland will open its doors again for these wanderers."
But it didn't."
Merlin admired the rare beauty of the underwater world, his fingers caressed the eagle sculpture of the staff, and he whispered softly, "Atlantis has always been there, but you have difficulty finding your origin, and today, I bring back the legend engraved in your soul...""
Vico, old friend."
Merlin turned his head to look at Vico, and he said with a smile, "Shouldn't you and your people thank me for that?"
”Vico's face was expressionless, and from the projection of the aircraft, he could clearly see the land people who were following the aircraft, those with weapons in hand, and those who were not good at coming.The two at the head were Namor and Arthur.Armed with silver and gold tridents and ornate ceremonial armor, the brothers dressed just like their owners.They have the noblest blood of Atlantis in them, and the city should welcome them.But behind the two, there is also a group of mutants dressed strangely.They are commanded by Emma, the White Queen, a mutant from the Hellfire Club in an elegant long dress.There are also some mutants who have a very good relationship with Namor, and they also come to cheer on their friends.And Emma herself, who followed Namor, behaved very meekly, like a little daughter-in-law who had just passed through the door.Compared to Namor's great battle, Arthur's followers were much more sparse.But it's just a small number of mutants who are definitely not weaker than the Hellfire Club in terms of quality.Superwoman Kara, who had just broken up with Arthur, didn't want to see her ex-boyfriend break into the tiger's den in Longtan alone, so she brought her new boyfriend to help, so that the weak Arthur wouldn't be beaten up by the hospitable undersea man.And her new boyfriend is a young man wearing a red and gold combat uniform, a short white cape, and black hair.Shazam!
Or rather, Billy.
Batson!
Another disciple of Merlin.Behind the three people in this complicated relationship, there are Merlin's three younger sisters, Raven, Lorna, and Laura, who appear as a group of family and friends.Because of Merlin's relationship, Arthur and them are also relatives.Naturally, they couldn't sit back and watch Arthur return to the underwater world alone.Of course, there is also Merlin's inseparable personal secretary Icarus, two followers of Icarus, Hope and Adam, and Miss Magician, Zatanna, who travels on a special trip and holds a camera in her hand.
Zatara.If it weren't for something to do today, it is estimated that Carol would have come to join in the fun.After all, little Arthur always called her aunt very well-behaved.Now that she has accepted this title, the powerful aunt can't sit idly by and watch her weak nephew be bullied, right?
In short, compared to the heavily armed Atlantean legions on both sides of the Halo Waterway, the "army" brought by Namor and Arthur was at an extreme disadvantage.But if there is really a war, relying on the strength of this group of people, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to overturn this undersea city.Not to mention...
These two exiled princes, and a Heavenly Father are helping them to suppress the battle."
What are you worried about?
Vico, old friend. ”Merlin, who was sitting on the flying machine and heading towards the palace in front of him, said softly, "Are you worried about Arthur and Namor's friends destroying their hometown?"
No, it won't, with me here, there will be no war today, and no one will be hurt. ”"You know, I'm a pacifist and I hate strife."
Merlin's words made Vico sigh.The old undersea man held the joystick, and he said, "Is it really this far?"
Is there no possibility of recovery?
Orm was just a slightly arrogant young man, and he...""
I gave him a chance, and he gave it up on his own."
The Raven Lord blocked all of Vico's pleas with a single sentence."
He's going to start a pointless war, my Vico."
Merlin closed his eyes and leaned back in the driver's seat, he put the golden scepter in his arms, and he sighed softly, "Do you think he's doing the right thing?"
”"If you don't think that's right, why don't you stop it?""
Is it because you think that Orm is also the son of Lady Atlanta, and the guilt of his old friend made you give up your persistence?"
Merlin's words were like a whip.Whipped on Vico's heart, leaving the old undersea man speechless.After a few seconds, Merlin reached out and patted Vico on the shoulder, and he said, "It's Lady Atlanta's family business...
Let the three brothers solve it themselves, I don't interfere, the others...
Don't meddle either!
How is it?
”"It's about the throne!"
Vico gritted his teeth and said, "How can you be so childish?
”"So what?"
Merlin said in a calm tone: "Compared to the future of the stars, just the throne, just Orm...
Be not worth mentioning?
”The Maharaja looked at Vico, who was struggling beside him, and said, "Or are you rejecting the offer of peace?"
Do you want me to end this in a more decisive way?
”An orange glow wrapped around Merlin's finger as he said, "As long as you nod your head, Vico, I promise, in a few seconds, this will be over, and you won't have to worry about duty and affection." ”Vico's hand tightened the lever in his hand, distorting the solid steel, and after a few seconds, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.He said in a low tone, "Just do what you want, do it." ”Merlin nodded.The next moment, his calm voice rang out over the underwater waterway guarded by the Atlantean Legion."
Namor, and Arthur...""
The grievances between you and Orm, between you and this country, are your private affairs, and you are to settle them with your own hands, and no one else is allowed to interfere!"
Hearing this, Namor and Arthur glanced at each other, and the two brothers clenched the trident in their hands, and they looked at the palace in front of them, and there was a flame shining in their eyes.Today, the pain and entanglement of the past, the nightmare of memory, the desperate past...
Everything will be today.The dust has settled!
Merlin's voice spread outward along the current that filled the bottom of the sea, like the sound waves of Huang Zhong Dalu.The cheers of those who are still immersed in the parade are like a switch being turned off at this moment.The whole city fell silent, but soon, like sparks dripping into hot oil, the whole city boiled at this moment.Atlantis adheres to ancient traditions.When the king is crowned, any member of the royal family can challenge the king's successor.In ancient times, it was an important part of the succession of kingships, but today it has become an old, forgotten tradition.The alternation of kingship between Orm's father and grandfather was harmonious.And now, after a thousand years, another battle for the throne will begin, and this time it will be 3 people involved!

Can Orm beat the challenger?
Will the kingdom of Atlantis usher in a strange ruler?
Not...
This boring, supposed to be no suspense coronation ceremony, seems to be becoming more and more interesting.Ten minutes later, —————————————— escorted by several Atlantean legions, Merlin and the two challengers to the throne reached the front of the white, majestic palace.On the platform above the hundreds of steps, the four kings of the sea were standing, and the mages of Kama Taj were standing beside them.At the foot of the steps, Merlin, with his golden staff in hand, hovered there, Arthur and Namor stood behind him, and farther away, their supporters held out by the palace guards.Arthur tries to step up the stairs to meet his brother, but is stopped by Namor.Namor looked at the people on the steps, and he whispered, "Don't worry, they'll come down!"
”Merlin's face was calm, and he didn't mean to step on the stairs.The golden staff in his hand shone with golden ripples in the infusion of magical power, like a projection, projecting the image of the Gate of Atlantis in front of this palace."
I took the staff from a respectable elder."
The Raven Lord's voice rang out in front of the underwater palace, and he said, "I have also taken over the responsibility and mission of the elder, I have guarded the real ancient city of Atlantis, and no one can set foot in the city that is still in the First Age without my permission. ”He looked at the kings at the top of the stairs and said, "Now, do you want me to invite you down?"
”The Maharaja's words made the kings look at each other, and Aum had a gloomy face, and he was ten thousand unwilling in his heart.Merlin didn't come today with good intentions.At least that kindness is not for him.The first to make a move was the Lobster-Man King, the brute who didn't care about the majesty of the king or anything like that.Those things can't be eaten.It scurried down the stairs with its massive body, its tiny eyes fixed on the projection above the golden staff, the blue curtain of light guarded by the two Poseidon statues.That was the road to the ancient city of Atlantis.There is an impulse surging in its beast-like mind, and if it can, who wants to live as a beast?
But now, the technology of the undersea people cannot reverse the reshaping of the body by the energy of the Great Fall.If it could enter the more technologically advanced city of Atlantis, it might be able to find a cure for its twisted body and soul.Truly save your own people!
Therefore, Ben Boerba's attitude towards the gatekeeper is the most respectful.The second to descend the steps was King Kuri, a sensual king who did not care about the changes in his body, and over time, the people of the Fisherman's Kingdom had accepted the new form.But as a poet, he retains respect for all legends.What's more, it stands at the intersection of ancient and present glory.If you're lucky, you'll be one of the first people to return home thousands of years later.Ah, what a great epic that must be.King Zebel hesitated for a moment, and the old father-in-law patted Orm on the shoulder, and then walked down the stairs with his delicate daughter, who leaned slightly over Merlin, but the Raven Lord ignored it.The mages of Kama Taj didn't hesitate much either.To be selected as the representatives of the Supreme Supreme, they are naturally all close to the Ancient One Master.They all knew that there was some secret agreement between the Supreme and the Raven Maharaja, and although they did not understand it, they also had respect for this Supreme friend.So, on the top of the steps, only Orm was left alone.He stubbornly didn't want to bow to Merlin.But the Maharaja didn't care."
I will return the key to the ancient city of Atlantis to the undersea people today."
Merlin let go of his fingers, and the golden staff hovered in front of the three kings, illuminating their eyes full of wistfulness."
But it must be after the birth of a new king of Atlantis—" Merlin said, with his hand spread outward, "Arthur.
Curry, Queen Atlanta's eldest son, Orm's older brother. ”"Namor.
Mackenzie, grandson of King Thakur, nephew of King Ovacs, cousin of Orm. ”"These two also have the noble blood of Atlantis, and they also have the qualifications to become kings, and today, in exchange for this key, I ask for the battle for the throne to be reopened!"
The Maharaja's blue eyes looked at Aum, who was chilling all over, and he whispered, "Whether you live or die, you only want victory...""
The one who survives will be the new king of Atlantis.""
All of you here, for my request.""
