Beauty and the Bodyguard

10067 Chapter 10066-

“You are from the mainland, King hai hai,” hou mo he continued,”I’m sure you are curious as to why there are so many humans living in this sea.”

“Yeah,” Lin Yi nodded.

Before this, he had always thought that the sea area was the world of sea beasts, and even if there were human activities, they were very few.

But now, it seemed that although many of the experts they had encountered were indeed sea beasts, the dominant ones were still pure-blooded human cultivators, which was very unexpected.

“In fact, in the beginning, there weren’t so many humans in the sea area. For a long time, the sea beasts were the dominant race, and it was chaotic and disorderly.”

“When the first batch of human criminals was exiled into the sea, they were fortunate enough to receive the Lord seagod’s favor and obtain the ability to survive in the sea.”

“They became the earliest believers of the sea god, and the sea god temple only took shape at that time.”

Suddenly, hou mo he interrupted,””The second advisor, Madam Qing, was one of the earliest believers.”

Lin Yi blinked as the image of the old lady flashed through his mind.

According to this statement, this Madam Qing was not only experienced, but also an old monster.

“Exiled criminals …”

Just this point alone was enough to prove that the other party was by no means a kind person.

“As more and more believers came, there was inevitable internal division,” hou Moshe continued.”Especially after the fall of the previous Lord sea god, the sea realm entered an era of unprecedented chaos.

After thousands of years of war, it slowly evolved into the current power structure. In order to distinguish themselves from the humans on land, the sea humans began to call themselves the sea humans. ”

“What does that have to do with me, Sea King?” Lin Yi asked.

Hou Moshe glanced at him and said,”in the end, the Marine human race is not a true marine race. They are a race that was born with a curse. Although they can live in the sea under the protection of the sea god, they still need to consume specific resources from the land regularly. Otherwise, their bodies will collapse.”

However, the problem was that, except for a few powerful individuals, the Marine human tribe was unable to leave the sea realm, just like the other marine tribes.

In order to ensure stable access to land resources and balance the relationship between the land and sea, the position of king of the sea was created.

This is the origin of the Sea King. ”

“I see.”

Lin Yi’s eyes were really opened this time-he really didn’t think that Ocean King had this kind of history.

“But if King hai has been empty for so many years, how did you solve the problem of land resources?” Lin Yi asked.

Hou Maha looked at him with a profound look and said,””All these years, it has been controlled by the four Seas ‘royal families. Because of the Qin family’s special ability, they have also taken a share of the profits. Therefore, their development momentum is extremely fast, and they are now known as the fifth royal family.”

“No wonder the royal families of the four Seas reacted so strongly. They were afraid that I would touch their cake.”

Lin Yi reacted immediately.

Once any industry was involved in a monopoly, it would definitely represent a huge amount of benefits, especially when the royal families of the four Seas controlled the resources on land. It could be said that they directly controlled the lifeline of the Marine human tribe.

One could easily imagine how great the benefits would be.

“If King hai hai just wants to live his life in an empty name, that’s not a big problem,” hou Moshe reminded.”No matter how arrogant the royal families of the four Seas are, they won’t dare to attack you in the open. After all, you’re the king hai hai appointed by the Lord sea god.”

However, if they really want to go all out, then we have to be careful. The possibility of them taking a risk in order to protect their vested interests is very high. ”

“I understand.”

Lin Yi said, surprised.

This was a priest. Since he was sent to be a guide priest, there must be the high priest’s intention behind it.

As a potential enemy, the best thing to do was to take this opportunity to dig a hole for himself and let him fight with the royal families of the four Seas, silently killing with a borrowed knife.

And because of that, Lin Yi pretended to listen carefully to every word the man said, but he was actually confused inside-he wouldn’t believe him so easily.

But now, it seemed that it was a little different from what he had expected?

Hou Moshe suddenly stopped in his tracks.”King hai hai might have some doubts about me. I can understand that. And I can tell you clearly that the high priest did want me to do something that would harm you. But I refused.”

“……”

The sudden honesty caught Lin Yi off guard.

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up-the priest was showing his cards right away, it seemed like he was quite the person.

“May I know the reason?”

Lin Yi said.

“My loyalty belongs only to the Lord sea god, not to the high priest,” hou Moshe said.

“That’s a good reason,”Lin Yi nodded.

Hou mo he shook his head and said,””It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not, I will fulfill my duty with my actions. At least, I will be a qualified guide priest.”

Lin Yi’s eyes deepened.”Then I’ll wait and see.”

The guide priest was the personal assistant of the king of the sea, and he was almost bound to the position for life. The other party’s words were basically equivalent to expressing his loyalty in person.

This loyalty, in name, was for the sea god, but in reality, it was for him, the Sea King.

But if one day, he let this person know that the seagod had fallen, and that it had fallen at his hands, who knew what kind of reaction he would have?

The two of them walked silently for a while and came to a Palace at the edge of the building complex.

Although it was obviously much thinner than the core buildings, it was still better than all the other luxurious buildings in the outside world. The sole king’s palace in the repeat school was only a little better than a dog’s house.

“This is King hai Hai’s Palace. If you want, King hai can stay here permanently.”

Hou Maha led Lin Yi around, and the luxurious interior was once again an eye-opener for him.

Lin Yi didn’t think much of it other than the surprise he felt at the start. It was a nice place, but he felt like there was someone watching him from behind.

There was more than one of them.

This wasn’t strange. The high priest would certainly pay attention to his every move. The other important figures of the sea god temple, including the top five advisors who had yet to show themselves, would most likely be secretly paying attention to his movements.

It was foreseeable that he would be the focus of the entire seagod Hall for at least some time.

However, Lin Yi didn’t have any intention to hide it. He asked directly,””Where are my personal guards?”

Hou Mohe was slightly stunned, but he did not look surprised.””The guards unit is now managed by the guards of the divine Hall. If Prince hai hai is willing, you can call them back now. Like me, they are all private staff of Prince hai hai.”
