Arthur's father, Tom, was a lighthouse keeper, and his mother was the previous Queen of Atlantis, and the story is the most traditional rich girl and poor boy, but with a slightly better ending.At least Arthur's father didn't die until he was an adult, and he still taught him some skills to eat in human society.Grace Harbor sounds like a cool name, but it's actually a small seaside town with a population of maybe over 2,000 people, which is quite a lot in the United States.In such places, it is often fashionable for the son to inherit the father's business.Lao Tzu went out to sea to fish, and his son will also get on the fishing boat when he grows up; The father opened a restaurant in the town, and the child will inherit the restaurant in the future.The statement of high emotional intelligence is family inheritance, and the statement of low emotional intelligence is that there is little development potential.But not every American likes to drill into a big city like Gotham, at least not for people in their right minds, and their rural plot is actually heavier than that of the Celestial Empire.After all, the land in the countryside belongs to one's own private one, and whether it is sold or shelved, it is better to live on it by oneself.Anyway, after Tom was killed by the black manta ray, Arthur took over as the caretaker of the lighthouse in Port Ci'en, and as a half-breed, he would feel more at ease on land.On land he could drive, drink, and grill fish, which was not possible in underwater Atlantis.So even after becoming the king of Atlantis, he would return to the lighthouse every night, which was probably one of the reasons why he and Mela did not get along.The sea witch's power comes from the water, and after leaving the sea, Mela is very insecure, and she always feels that the landers want to harm her.This can't be helped, her family environment is like that, her sister Siren has always wanted to kill her, Arthur's brother Sea Lord has always wanted to usurp power, she has lived in various palace intrigues since she was a child, and has a deeper understanding of darkness than her husband.In this way, Arthur seems a little too naïve, and the two have a very big gap in their attitudes towards humans, and the two of them can only be regarded as making do now, and they are not divorced.Originally, Su Ming thought that after the sinking of the ocean, Meila's perception of land people would change a little, and at the same time, she would repair her relationship with Arthur.But when Atlantis returned to the bottom of the water, to the dark bottom of the sea, her heart was clearly enveloped in darkness again, and she returned to the way it used to be.This is the reason why Su Ming has not been a guest in Atlantis since then, because the hostess there is not welcoming to humans, and the food is too simple, except for fish and aquatic plants.However, the separation had little effect on Arthur, although he was driven to live at the Lighthouse of Grace and gave up the throne of Atlantis to Mela.But he still has the 'Neptune Pendent' artifact in his hand, and if he wants to, he can command all the sea animals in the seven seas with this artifact, and it will only be easy to reclaim the throne.He was just more emotional, and he didn't have much interest in the throne, he knew that he was not suitable for governing the country after graduating from elementary school, and as long as he was still guarding the coastline of Mercy Harbor, it was impossible for Atlantis to go to war against the landholders.Thinking a little too much, Su Ming continued to walk towards the glowing lighthouse, the lighthouse guard is actually a night shift worker, after all, who turns on the lights during the day?
Speaking of duties, it is quite simple, Arthur only needs to go to the top of the tower after dark every day to light the oversized light bulb, and then patrol several times at night, and the next day at dawn if there is no fog, you can turn off the lights.And after the electric age, the lighthouse was no longer the most difficult 'ignition' work, and the light bulb solved the big problem and made this work unhurried.Speaking of which, it is much easier than the night shift security work of the warehouse in Su Ming's previous life.So the trajectory of Arthur's life after the separation was very simple, sleeping during the day or going to a bar for a drink, and returning to the lighthouse at night to light the light bulb and sleep.Occasionally go to the Hall of Justice for a meeting, participate in some action, or go back to the sea to swim a few laps, talk to the fish, and get four hundred dollars a week from the mayor's office, don't look like much, but it really looks like it was picked up for nothing.The salary is not very good, but it is definitely enough just for food and drink, Arthur lives in the lighthouse on the reef, and the area of each floor inside is not large, but it can actually be regarded as an eight-story building.It was more than enough to live him alone.Today's sea conditions are not particularly good, the wind and waves are particularly strong, the waves are constantly crashing against the breakwater, drilling into the nostrils with the fishy smell of seawater, Su Ming guessed that Arthur should not have slept, because of this kind of weather, a professional lighthouse guard will pay special attention, always pay attention to whether the ships entering the port have run aground and capsized.What's more, as a superhero who eats the sea by the sea, saving people in the water is his specialty, and if he goes into the water, Superman can't compare to him."
Squeak."
The lighthouse's doors are a bit old, a bit laborious to open in the wind, and make death-like animal sounds, but they can be used as warning traps.Su Ming walked into the interior of the lighthouse, the first floor was the kitchen and living room, but now Arthur was not here, but a small brass pot hung on the fireplace, and something was boiling in it.I walked over and picked up a spoon and stirred it, and I could see by the red light that today's supper was octopus, a good appetizer."
Who?"
Arthur, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary fisherman but carrying a trident in his hand, came down from the second floor, he heard the sound of the door, but after seeing that it was the death knell, the strong man smiled happily: "Slade, why did you come to the port of mercy so late?"
If there's anything you need my help with, just say it!
”He walked down the stairs, leaned his weapon against the wall, hugged and patted the back with Deathbell, and offered to help."
It's nothing, a little bit of a little arrangement about Barry, come and breathe with you."
Su Ming patted the strong man's shoulder, replied with a smile and took out a few bottles of spirits from his waist bag: "I see you cooked octopus, let's drink some together?"
”"No problem, you came at the right time, if this thing has been cooked for a long time, it won't be able to bite."
Arthur took the pot off the fire, put it on the table with the soup and water, and took two cups from the closet, and blew the floating ash inside: "I've been trying to drink with you again these days, but you've always been elusive and have become more powerful, haha." ”"If you want to drink, you can go to the Oblivion Bar, Bobo is an advisor to the Dark Justice League, and you are still the titular king of Atlantis, which was a standard mystical force in ancient times, so call your teammates to go with you."
Su Ming, who didn't care about the hygiene of the cup, sat down, the chair was a little dirty, after all, even if he didn't separate, Arthur's living environment was almost like this, no one would think that a woman like Meila would clean, right?
Either the maids in the palace do the work, or no one else does it, and the main thing is a primitive ecology."
It's boring, it's boring to drink with them, and Superman can still drink, but every time he asks him to drink, he says that Louise is still waiting for him at home, and he wants to go home quickly, I still don't want to delay the love of other couples, hehe."
Aquaman smiled bitterly, he poured wine into the cup, and the two of them immediately began to drink.
