The Whale Beastman brought Zhao Hai to the stone pillar. Although the holes on the stone pillar weren't small, the Whale Beastman couldn't go through them.
The Whale Beastman looked at the stone pillar and said, "Turtle Guard, please come out." Just as his voice fell, a person appeared in the lowest hole. When the person came out, Zhao Hai discovered that it was actually a Turtle Beastman. The Turtle Beastman wore pants made of seaweed, but his upper body was like a turtle's shell.
The Turtle Beastman looked at the Whale Beastman and said, "What did you call me for?"
The Whale Beastman looked at the Turtle Beastman and said, "This is Mister Zhao Hai, the person that His Majesty wants to see. Turtle Guard, please bring him up."
The Turtle Beastman looked at Zhao Hai and nodded. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "You are Zhao Hai?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I am Zhao Hai." The Turtle Beastman nodded and waved his hand. From the hole behind him, several Turtle Beastmen came out. Each of these Turtle Beastmen stood on a turtle. These turtles weren't very big, the diameter of their shells was less than two meters.
The Turtle Beastman turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Come up, I'll bring you to see His Majesty." Zhao Hai nodded and then each of them stood on a turtle's back. Then the Turtle Beastman led them into the cave.
After entering the cave, Zhao Hai discovered that the cave was like a huge maze. There were many caves, and each of them had water flowing out. The Turtle Beastman led Zhao Hai and the others into one of the caves.
Upon entering the cave, Zhao Hai discovered that the cave was like a water slide. Each cave was curved and the flow of water was very fast. However, one could see that the water was very deep.
Zhao Hai also felt that it was strange. How did the Fishmen do this? How did they bring the water to such a high place? That was amazing.
However, the turtles under their feet didn't seem to know that they were going against the current. They swam steadily upstream, and their speed wasn't slow.
Zhao Hai calculated that about half an hour later, they came out of a hole. They were now in a large pool, and this pool was in a palace.
The palace was very beautiful. Its entire body was made of white stone. The ground was covered with blue tents, and the walls were inlaid with crystals and pearls. These crystals and pearls formed beautiful patterns on the walls. Under the illumination of the sun, these patterns shined brightly. The reflected light seemed to have gone through special calculations. When the light shined on the pool, it formed a human pattern. This pattern was of the various races of the sea, it was very beautiful.
Zhao Hai and the others were attracted by the scenery in front of them. They didn't think that the palace would be this beautiful. At this time, the turtles stopped at the edge of the pool. The Turtle Guard turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, please go ashore. Someone will come and pick you up."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he bowed to the Turtle Guard and said, "I thank the brothers of the Turtle Clan for sending me off." Then he went ashore, Laura and the others did the same.
After the group went ashore, the Turtle Guard turned around and returned to the cave. At this time, a person came out of the palace. It was a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She held a crystal staff in her hand and wore a green magic robe. It seems like the magic robe was made out of seaweed.
The woman arrived in front of Zhao Hai and the others, then she gave a slight bow to Zhao Hai and smiled, "Are you the Buda Clan's Patriarch, the Beastman's Foreign Prince, and the Dwarf's Foreign Elder, Mister Zhao Hai?"
Zhao Hai recovered, he quickly gave a bow and said, "I am Mister Zhao Hai. May I know who Miss is?"
The woman smiled faintly at Zhao Hai and said, "I'm a female officer of the Sea King's Palace. My name is Lola, please come with me."
Zhao Hai quickly said, "I've seen the female officer. May I take the liberty to ask, what race does the female officer belong to? Are you a Human? "
Lola smiled faintly and said, "Mister doesn't need to be so polite. I'm not a Human, I'm a Mermaid. After a long time, our Mermaids can freely transform their tails into human legs. Therefore, I hope that mister won't find it strange."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect the Mermaids to be a Mermaid. This is the first time I've heard about it."
Lola looked curiously at Zhao Hai and said, "Is this the first time mister heard about it? That's impossible, right? In the past, the Mermaids and the Humans had a lot of business dealings. But in the past few thousand years, there hasn't been any contact. Are there no records of this in Human history? "
Zhao Hai stared, then he turned to Laura and the others and said, "Have you seen any records about this?"
Laura and the others shook their heads and said, "We haven't. I've seen their history books. In the past ten thousand years, there hasn't been any records about the Mermaids."
Lola looked at Zhao Hai, then she shook her head and said, "This isn't strange. In the past, our relationship with the Humans was very good. But later on, the Radiant Church started to suppress us. Because of this, we couldn't get in touch with the Humans. Later on, I heard that the Radiant Church had a lot of history books about the Human Race. It's normal for them to not include us."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't think that there would be such a thing. No wonder there weren't any records about the Mermaids in the past ten thousand years. Moreover, in these history books, foreign races were often described as very fierce. For example, the Beastmen were described as wild and aggressive, while the Dwarves were described as violent and irritable. The Elves were a bit better, but in the history books, the Elves were also described as peerless beauties. Not only was this not a good thing, it also made the Humans covet the Elves even more. There was a period when the Humans started to capture the Elves as slaves. In the end, the Elves retreated from the Humans' territory and returned to the Elven Forest, no longer having any contact with the Humans. This stopped the trend.
After connecting all these things together, Zhao Hai finally understood what was going on. It was certainly the Radiant Church's doing. They wanted the Humans to forget about the Mermaids and start to reject the Dwarves and the Beastmen. The Elves were too perfect, they had no way to deal with them. Therefore, they could only use this method to make the Elves stay away from the Humans. Zhao Hai had to admit that the Radiant Church had done a perfect job. At this point, these races were no longer in contact with the Humans.
At this time, Lola led Zhao Hai and the others into the Great Hall. The Great Hall was very tall, Zhao Hai estimated that the height of the Great Hall was no less than 20 meters. The ceiling of the Great Hall was made of crystal. From the Great Hall, one could see the sky outside. The angle of these crystals was adjusted so that when the sun shone on them, it would form a beautiful pattern.
Crystals and pearls were inlaid on the stone pillars of the Great Hall. There was a mermaid standing on each stone pillar, but they were all in human form.
In the innermost part of the Great Hall, there was a very special chair. The back half of the chair looked like a normal chair while the front half was a sink. A Mermaid was sitting on the chair. She wore a green robe and had a crystal crown on her head. In her hand was a crystal scepter. However, she didn't turn into a human, she still looked like a Mermaid with a fishtail on her lower body.
Lola led Zhao Hai and the others ten steps away from the Mermaid. Then Lola bowed to the Mermaid and said, "Your Majesty, Mister Zhao Hai and his wife have arrived."
The Mermaid waved her hand, then Lola bowed and retreated. Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others immediately went forward and bowed to the Mermaid Queen, "Zhao Hai has seen Your Majesty."
The Queen nodded, then she looked curiously at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, Miss Laura, Miss Megan, Miss Meg, Miss Lizzy, and Miss Nier, welcome to the Fishman Race. May I know why Mister is so anxious to see me?"
Zhao Hai and Laura stared blankly. They didn't think that the Queen would be able to accurately call out all of their names, none of them were wrong.
Zhao Hai looked at the Queen and said, "It's our honor for Your Majesty to know our names. This time, I came to see Your Majesty because of something."
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "Mister, please speak."
Zhao Hai looked at the Queen and suddenly said, "Before I speak, I want to ask Your Majesty, what do you think of the Radiant Church?"
The Queen stared at Zhao Hai, she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What does Mister mean? Did Mister come because of the Radiant Church? How come I heard that Mister and the Radiant Church are enemies? "
Zhao Hai stared, then he looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty seems to know a lot about me?"
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, although our Fishman Race have less contact with the Humans, we still have some contact, especially with our Mermaid Race."
When Zhao Hai heard the Queen, he couldn't help but stare, but he still said, "Your Majesty's understanding of the continent is good. I just want to know what Your Majesty thinks about the Radiant Church."
The Queen looked at Zhao Hai and said, "The Radiant Church is a very evil organization. They seem to want to rule the entire world and enslave all races, including our Fishman Race."
When Zhao Hai heard the Queen, he couldn't help but ask, "I don't know if Your Majesty knows about the alliance between the major races of the continent and the war against the Divine Race?"
The Queen stared for a moment, then she thought for a moment and said, "I remember, there is a record in our race's history. At that time, our Fishman Race also participated in the war. However, the war happened on land, so we didn't help much. However, our Mermaid Race's Seniors still died in that war."
Zhao Hai felt relieved and said, "I won't hide it from Your Majesty. I suspect that the Radiant Church is a chess piece placed by the Divine Race in the Ark Continent. They are preparing for the Divine Race's invasion."
When she heard Zhao Hai, the Queen's expression couldn't help but turn serious as she said, "I'll have to ask Mister to elaborate."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he told the Queen about how he helped the Dwarves recover their artifact spirit and how he went to the Northern Icefield to find the Beast God's Spear for the Beastmen. At the same time, he also told the Queen about his own speculations.
The Queen listened to Zhao Hai, but her expression couldn't help but change. When Zhao Hai finished, the Queen sighed and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder Mister was able to become the Foreign Prince of the Beastmen. However, nobody in the continent knew that Mister was actually the Foreign Elder of the Dwarves. It seems like Mister has been silently preparing for this matter. It seems like the people of the continent have underestimated Mister."
Zhao Hai looked at the Queen strangely. Listening to the Queen's tone, it seems like she knew a lot about the continent. This made Zhao Hai confused, even if the Fishmen knew a lot about the continent, how could they know this much?
The Queen looked at Zhao Hai's expression, then she smiled faintly and said, "Mister doesn't need to be surprised. Didn't I say that our Mermaid Clan knows a lot about the continent? Has Mister heard about the Sea God's Chamber of Commerce?"
Upon hearing the name Sea God's Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others' expressions couldn't help but change. It wasn't that they hadn't heard of it, but that they were very familiar with it.
The Sea God's Chamber of Commerce was one of the biggest chambers of commerce in the continent. It was also one of the most mysterious chambers of commerce. The main managers of this chamber of commerce were all women. They were also famous for selling women's clothing and jewelry.
The Queen wouldn't mention the Sea God's Chamber of Commerce for no reason. The only reason she mentioned it was because the Mermaid Clan controlled the Sea God's Chamber of Commerce! This was very frightening. People had always thought that the Fishmen were hiding in the sea. Nobody thought that the Fishmen would actually open a chamber of commerce in the continent. Moreover, it was one of the most famous chambers of commerce in the continent.
Zhao Hai and Laura looked at each other, they could see the shock in each other's eyes. The Mermaid Clan was very formidable, they were actually able to hide from everyone.
The Queen looked at Zhao Hai's expression and smiled faintly, "Mister shouldn't be too surprised. After all, our Fishmen also need some things from the Human Race. However, I can't allow the Fishmen to do business with the Human Race. After all, most of the Fishmen don't have a good impression of the Human Race."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I understand what Your Majesty means. Since Your Majesty knows about this matter, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards this? Will you work with us to deal with the Radiant Church and the Divine Race? "
The Queen didn't even think about it before she nodded and said, "Of course. The Radiant Church was the main culprit that drove us out of the Ark Continent. Moreover, they wanted to enslave all the races in the continent. How could I agree to that? I agree to work with you to deal with the Radiant Church and the Divine Race."
When Zhao Hai heard the Queen, he couldn't help but be happy as he said, "Then I'll have to thank Your Majesty."
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "Mister doesn't need to be polite. Compared to Mister's ability to deal with other parties, this is nothing. But Mister, we've also encountered some trouble. I'm afraid that we won't be able to help Mister in the short term."
"As expected!" Zhao Hai thought inwardly. However, he still smiled and said, "If Your Majesty believes in Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai is willing to help Your Majesty solve your problem."
The Queen stared, then she shook her head and said, "There's no need. The Buda Clan is very strong on land, but in the sea, I'm afraid that Mister wouldn't be able to help me."
