Chapter 59: is about Aquaman, but he's not Aquaman.
He was the Sea King, but also not the Sea King.
The Sea King, having returned, was brimming with confidence. He only needed to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, rinse his mouth and spit out the bloody water, and instantly looked radiant.
Then, putting his arm around Beihai's shoulders, he returned before all the ocean's creatures.
"This is a distinguished guest from the mainland. Do not neglect him. Quickly return and prepare a feast, inform my Grandmother, and also my father."
Upon receiving the Sea King's command, no one dared to be negligent and they scattered in a hurry. Although they didn't understand why the relationship had progressed so rapidly, so fast it was a bit unbelievable.
One moment he was about to stand up for us, the next he's got his arm around him calling him brother.
The Sea King thought to himself that these sea creatures didn't understand. You haven't tasted his fists, you don't know how good a person he is.
"Your Majesty the Sea King flatters me. I am merely here to take a look around."
Beihai said modestly from the side. However, he was a bit clueless about the Sea King's father. In the story, there was a Grandmother, but he really hadn't heard the word 'father' before. Could it be that this one is a new Sea King?
"Don't say that. From now on, we are brothers."The Sea King laughed heartily while patting Beihai's back, very satisfied with his conduct. Modest, courteous, knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Possessed great strength, yet remained humble. Even when pestered by him for a duel and forced to agree, he still knew how to yield and didn't make him lose face.
However, the Sea King's actions truly startled Beihai. Which of the kings he had met wasn't steady and powerful, or even cruel?
Those kings either considered themselves or their people. He really hadn't seen this kind, this... scoundrelly type!
"Ah, it's not that..."
"What, not willing?"
"No, no! It's just that it feels a bit sudden. I thought... how should I put this to you... the relationship between our land and the sea isn't very good."
Beihai spoke honestly. When he was up above, he had also heard that because of sailing matters, they had angered the Sea King, leading to music being banned on the sea, and it still hadn't been lifted to this day.
"The discord you speak of does exist, but that was the previous generation's matter. I'm sorry, I cannot tell you much about this."
"It's fine, I understand, I understand."
"Let's not talk about such heavy topics. Come on, come on, let's go see, go see the beautiful scenery of the seabed."
The Sea King pushed Beihai to walk out, and of course, also pulled along Elsa, who was touching seaweed nearby, teasing her: "What's so interesting about a piece of seaweed? The entire seabed has more beautiful scenery."
This was not only the Sea King personally acting as a guide but also fulfilling Beihai's request.
In the depths of the sea, beautiful sights were never lacking. The most direct sensory experience was the schools of fish of all colors, and the mysterious biological scenes.
There were even countless small fish schools gathered together, with a huge whale nearby swallowing them up, taking in many with one bite.
This was a spectacle one must experience in the ocean: the whale breaching. The moment its massive body broke the water's surface, leaping high into the air, pulling along surrounding fish schools and massive amounts of seawater, and the awe of that enormous form soaring into the air.
"Your mainland doesn't have ships this big. I have also seen your fish schools; they are few in number and white.
But their appearance is strange, with long fins, and the scales on their bodies are completely different from ours."
"Your Majesty is not very clear about the situation on our mainland."
"Of course. We see humans every day because we can hear their stories, can see many large ships.
But other places, like the sky, we know very little. No one can tell us. The sea is vast, but it is also very narrow."
Beihai thought about it. This way, it was clear they needed some knowledge exchange, but this workload was huge, and explaining would also be very difficult.
This was clearly a loophole. Beihai was going to meddle in this affair. Faced with this difficulty, I, as a Knight, must definitely do something about it.
Perhaps I should go find a magic mirror. This mirror could answer all questions, and could even display images. It was a very good thing. If given to these sea creatures,
it would be much better than me wasting my breath. That way, I would need to inquire about the girl as white as snow.
Thinking of this, Beihai almost couldn't hold back. He remembered that the girl as white as snow had another interpretation.
Actually, Snow White wasn't white. It was just because on the day she was born, there was a heavy snowfall of goose feathers, so she was called Snow White.
Thank goodness the author of Snow White is gone, otherwise they'd have to carry their coffin lid to go find Disney.
Having made up his mind, Beihai already had his sights set on the magic mirror. Perhaps relying on the mirror, he could also learn how to make mermaids become human?
The upper body of a mermaid was completely the same as a human's, except the lower body was a bit different. So, wanting a pair of legs shouldn't be that troublesome.
Plus, the magical items in this world weren't limited. The simplest would be to get an Aladdin's lamp, give it a rub, and make all the mermaids grow human legs, with the added ability to change between water and land.
Beihai decided. He would first find the magic mirror, then find Aladdin's lamp.
Having resolved himself, Beihai nudged the Sea King's shoulder to get his attention, to stop him from playing with those two seahorses.
"Good brother, don't disturb me for now. I'm catching two fine steeds to use as mounts later."
Watching the Sea King grab the seahorses by their necks, then mount them, and tie seaweed around their necks, the seahorses naturally were unwilling to be captured.
So they struggled fiercely. The performance of the two seahorses was just like those crazy bulls in the bullring. The Sea King couldn't hold on firmly at all.
Beihai watched this, the corner of his eye twitching. You're the Sea King! And this is the Sea King's performance!
Watching the dignified Sea King getting ganged up on by two seahorses, Beihai could only intervene slightly. With his formidable numerical strength, he forcefully stepped in and completely subdued the two seahorses.
"Let's get down to business, Your Majesty the Sea King. I can let you see the world beyond the ocean, and I can also find a way for you to obtain human legs to personally go explore the differences of the world."
The Sea King, now bruised and swollen, also became serious. Talking about this matter, he was wide awake.
"What do I need to give?"
"I need one-third of the seabed's treasures, and information about a Witch. My purpose for coming out this time was originally for the old witch. If you can help me, then I'll take care of those two things for you."
Beihai felt there was no problem. Helping the sea creatures could earn him System stat points. As for their repayment, Beihai didn't care for it.
But wasn't this just for the sake of formalities? To make the other party feel less guilty. So the old witch was really useful.
