"Is Your Highness feeling unwell?"
Mira gently shook her head and whispered in the ancient language of Atlantis, "Your weapons are very new; I've only ever seen them in history books."
These words secretly annoyed Setel, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
"I wonder what your weapons look like?"
Mela glanced at Xu Fu, who had already donned his floating armor, his five fingers spread, aiming at the distant sea.
White beams of light, carrying destructive power, flew from her palms, striking the sea surface before flying off in different directions.
Boom!
The sea cracked open, creating huge waves, and the Amazons in the square simultaneously fell into a coma.
Xu Fu nodded slightly and said modestly.
"Please excuse our poor weaponry; it's too powerful for us to control."
Andy Opal clenched his fists, staring intently at Xu Fu.
One demonstration! Yet another humiliation!
The other person's gaze was like that of a superior member of the Light race facing an unintelligent local, an Atlantean who wished he could draw his sword and kill him.
Setter extended his hand to her in an inviting gesture and said
"This way, please. His Majesty has been waiting for quite some time."
The three of them crossed the soldiers' square and approached a tall temple.
A statue of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, stands before the temple. Hippolyta, draped in a golden cloak and wearing a royal crown, stands before the statue, quietly watching the figure approaching from afar.
Two women and one man, all young, wearing red cloaks, exuding a noble air and standing out from the crowd, were presumably princesses of Atlantis; the woman on the left had an extremely delicate face, while the man on the right had black hair and green eyes, and was dragging a constantly spinning metal ball in his hand, leaving much to the imagination.
Upon seeing Xu Fu, Hippolyta was suddenly reminded of her daughter Diana.
It's been almost sixty years. I wonder how she's doing in the human world.
Mera stopped twenty meters in front of the Queen, placed her left hand on her abdomen, and uttered the oldest greeting in Atlantis.
"Mera, daughter of King Zebel, greets Her Majesty the Queen of the Amazons."
Setter quickly translated it into Ancient Greek, and Hippolyta said with a smile, "The Amazons have lived here for many years and rarely had contact with the outside world. I never thought that a thousand years later, I would meet guests from the depths of the sea."
Mela replied, "We came to this land with a desire for peace, hoping to restore friendly relations with your country."
"The Amazonians welcome peace"
Phillips, clad in metal armor, stepped forward and said in a trembling voice:
"Excuse my bluntness, but we need to verify the identity of your messenger."
Xu Fu retorted sarcastically, "You dare to doubt Her Highness the Princess?"
Phillips gave a cold snort: "I've heard that the Atlantean royal family has the ability to control water. If you can lift the water out of the pond out of thin air, I'll believe your identity."
Xu Fu jumped up from his seat: "Your Majesty, do you think so too?"
Hippolyta replied calmly, "Identities always need to be verified; Amazons don't like to be deceived."
Xu Fu suppressed his anger and translated the words to Mera. Mera wanted to laugh, but could only make an angry expression on her face. She turned and walked towards the pond, raised her hand, and a trickle of water flowed from the water and landed in her palm.
Seeing this, no one doubted that the red-haired girl was indeed a princess of the royal family.
Mela threw the water balloon back into the pond and whispered a few words in Xu Fu's ear. Xu Fu put on his floating armor and walked to the Queen's side.
“Thousands of years ago, the Amazons were the only tribe that could fight against the Atlanteans. I wonder if you still retain the tradition of fighting after all these years. Your Highness would like to see, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people gathered together instantly turned worried.
Ndiop stared intently at Xu Fu: "You want to challenge us!"
"I hope you can all fulfill the princess's wish."
depressed!
Deadly repression!
Whether it was Queen Hippolyta, Princess Endiopa, or the guards around him, they could all sense the arrogance and confidence emanating from Xu Fu. Amazons were born warriors; they were never the only ones who dared to challenge others, or rather, when challenged, they were never the only ones who dared to challenge others.
· ·Requesting flowers····· ······
"I accept your challenge."
The palace captain, Phillips, drew his longsword and planted it in the ground. "Time? Place?"
"Right here, if you don't mind."
"it is good!"
Phillips turned to look at the Queen. Hippolyta was silent for a moment, then ordered the crowd to disperse to make room for the battle.
The two stood a distance apart. When the horn sounded, Phillips roared and lunged forward with all his might. His longsword pierced the air with a clang.
hour!
The blade sliced through the floating armor without leaving a mark. Phillips remained silent, hacking and slashing wildly, one strike after another, each ruthless and decisive, aimed at vital points. Xu Fu did not resist. From beginning to end, everyone stood there, without any unnecessary swagger or arrogance.
..... .... ...
After stabbing him more than a hundred times, Phillips stopped and said in a hoarse voice.
Why don't you attack?
Xu Fu grinned: "Your attacks are too weak."
"court death!"
Phillips swung his sword again, and the next moment, a red light flashed before her eyes. A sharp pain erupted from her abdomen, and she opened her mouth wide. She was sent flying backward in shock and disbelief, crashing into a stone pillar and flying more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
Time stood still at that moment!
A few seconds later, the guards snapped out of their shock and pointed their weapons at Xu Fu. Xu Fu removed his armor, bowed slightly, and said with a look of disappointment on his face.
"I apologize, Your Majesty. I went too far."
Hippolyta closed her eyes, feeling an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. Phillips was a first-rate warrior, yet he couldn't even last a single round.
Of all the opponents, only Diana could match their speed and strength.
If the palace administrators are this powerful, then how powerful must the entire Atlantis be?
Andy Opal realized this too, his face suddenly turned pale, and he snatched the weapon and rushed out.
"Let's have another match."
Xu Fu shook his head slightly: "Today is a day of unity between the two countries, so it is not easy for too many conflicts to break out."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of Poseidon's Cold Iron from the backpack Carol was carrying.
"This is a gift prepared by the King of Atlantis for this alliance meeting. Please accept it, Your Majesty."
Chapter 1374 What is meant by getting something for nothing?
The silver-gray metal looks ordinary, but when sunlight shines on it, water-colored light waves emanate from it.
"magic!"
Setter's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Magic Metal!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Antiopa shouted angrily.
"what are you saying?"
Setter couldn't help but step forward, take the metal in his hand and examine it carefully, feeling the strong energy fluctuations in the water, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"
"Poseidon's Cold Iron?"
Xu Fu smiled and nodded: "That's right, it is indeed the Sea God's Cold Iron, a super magical metal with the ability to manipulate water flow, and also the national treasure of Atlantis." He paused, and under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, he said in a deep voice.
“Our king attached great importance to this alliance. To show his sincerity, he took ten pieces of Poseidon’s Cold Iron from the national treasury as a gift. Unfortunately, when he arrived at the island, he encountered the “843” thunderstorm, the ship sank, the entourage had to separate, and the gifts they carried sank to the bottom of the sea. Only one piece survived.”
At this point, everyone let out a long sigh.
No one paid any attention to Xu Fu's words; their eyes were all fixed on the silver-gray metal ingot.
Sea God's Cold Iron!
Poseidon's Iron, a metal no less precious than that of the Amazons!
Historical records indicate that Poseidon's cold weapons possessed powerful magic related to water: if some ground powder was added to the weapons, it could manipulate water flow, trigger tsunamis, and cleave waves. It was an extremely rare and magical metal.
Atlantis received ten pieces of Poseidon's Cold Iron as a gift!
For a moment, Hippolyta was at a loss for words: at first she was dissatisfied with the previous challenge, but with the appearance of the metal ingot, all her dissatisfaction disappeared, leaving only complicated emotions.
Even the king's sister, Ndiop, who adhered to prejudice, gaped in astonishment.
Mela grinned: "A bunch of out-of-towners."
Carol was also at a loss, thinking to herself that the Amazons' thinking was too backward. They didn't know what it meant to make a final decision. If you gave them a sweet treat, their every move would be controlled by Xu Fu, and they would have no room to resist.
Poseidon's cold steel appeared, and the atmosphere became eerie. The alliance lasted for half an hour before abruptly ending.
Xu Fu and the other two returned to their residence, where Queen Hippolyta led her subordinates to the main hall for an emergency meeting.
