The person who came to look for Jiang Fei was none other than the Master of the Seven Seas, King Elric, Ariel's father.
His daughter had died for him. Jiang Fei naturally felt ashamed to meet him. However, since King Elric was here, he could not run away anymore.
"Master Elric …" Jiang Fei choked on his words. He did not know what to say.
"You don't have to say anything. I already know what happened …" King Elric shook his head. He did not seem to blame Jiang Fei.
"It's my fault for not protecting Ariel …" Jiang Fei said guiltily.
"It's not your fault. When Ariel signed the Contract of Devotion with you, I already knew!" King Elric sighed, then explained the secret of the Merfolk to Jiang Fei.
Although the Contract of Devotion was also known as the Twin Contract, it allowed the Merfolk to share their lives with the man they loved. However, there had never been a situation where a pair of lovers would share life and death together.
This was because to be able to sign the Contract of Devotion, it meant that the Merfolk girl must have loved the man deeply. When the two were in danger, the Merfolk girl would definitely ignite her own contract and then activate the Merfolk's forbidden skill. At the cost of sacrificing herself, she would win a chance for the man she loved to live.
Since the appearance of the Contract of Devotion, almost all the Merfolk girls who signed this kind of contract had died for the man they loved. That was why King Elric felt so helpless when he saw his daughter signing this kind of contract with Jiang Fei.
"I'm not here to punish you this time. His Majesty, the Emperor of the Sea, wants to see you!" After King Elric explained the secret of the Contract of Devotion, he finally got down to business with Jiang Fei.
"The Emperor of the Sea wants to see me?" Jiang Fei was stunned.
"That's right! The Luminous Vatican forced my daughter to die. This matter will not end just like that. I have already asked the Emperor of the Sea to avenge my daughter! The Emperor of the Sea might be looking for you because of this matter! "King Elric said.
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded. He was duty-bound to avenge Ariel. Although Ariel was not really dead, he could not tell King Elric about it, let alone mention it to the Emperor of the Sea. Therefore, to them, Ariel was dead!
After bidding farewell to the other girls, Jiang Fei followed King Elric to the depths of the Endless Ocean. Through the Teleportation Point on the East Coast, Jiang Fei arrived at the Emperor Poseidon's Palace.
With King Elric leading the way, the two of them quickly entered the interior of the Emperor's Palace.
"Please inform them that Elric and the Nephilim race's Verdure Glider are requesting an audience!" Outside the main hall, Elric and Jiang Fei stopped in their tracks.
"Please wait!" The Whale Warrior on guard nodded and entered the main hall to report.
Not long after, the Giant Whale Warrior came out and told Jiang Fei and Elric that the Sea Emperor had summoned them to the main hall.
"Let's go!" King Elric called out to Jiang Fei, then walked into the hall.
Jiang Fei followed King Elric into the main hall. This was not his first time in the Emperor Palace, so he was quite familiar with the place.
"Lord Elric of the East Coast greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Sea!" Elric greeted the Emperor of the Sea.
"Your Majesty, Neptune!" Jiang Fei cupped his fists and greeted the Neptune.
"Hmm …" Neptune nodded, then said to Eric, "Step aside for now. I will take care of Ariel!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! "King Elric stepped aside. He knew that Neptune was here to see Jiang Fei.
"Verdure Glider, do you know why I have summoned you here?" Sure enough, after Eric stood aside, the Emperor of the Sea Emperor shifted his attention to Jiang Fei.
"It's probably because of Ariel!" Jiang Fei replied.
"That's right! I have said that I want Ariel to be my goddaughter. As the Emperor of the Sea, my words are the truth. Therefore, Ariel is the princess of the Merfolk. Now that the Luminous Vatican has publicly killed my princess, what do you think I should do? "The Emperor of the Sea Emperor's voice was not angry.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to join forces with the Nephilim race to attack the Vatican?" Jiang Fei asked.
"That's right! Augustus's daughter has also died in the hands of the Vatican. I don't believe that he can remain indifferent! "The Emperor of the Sea Emperor said angrily.
"Sigh …" Jiang Fei sighed. Although Isabella was still alive, her spirit was gone. She was now just a puppet. Because of this, Jiang Fei did not dare to meet the Nephilim King. Otherwise, the Nephilim King Augustus would definitely be even more furious than the Emperor of the Sea Emperor.
"What about the Naga race?" Jiang Fei asked hesitantly. Although the Merfolk and the Nephilim race would definitely be able to suppress the Celestial race, the Naga race would not just sit back and watch the Merfolk attack.
"You don't have to worry about that. I have a plan!" The Emperor of the Sea Emperor's eyes flashed.
"If that's the case, I might even be able to get the Naga race to help!" Jiang Fei smirked. In Jiang Fei's mind, both the Divine Light God and the Dragon God were not good people. Therefore, Jiang Fei would definitely be happy to see them fight each other.
"Oh?!" The Emperor of the Sea Emperor was stunned. He did not expect Jiang Fei to bring him such a surprise.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"But the Naga race has always been neutral. I don't think it's possible for them to attack the Luminous Vatican." The Emperor of the Sea Emperor did not believe that Jiang Fei could do it.
"It is indeed impossible for the Naga race to attack the Luminous Vatican. However, it is not difficult for the Vatican to kill the Naga!" Jiang Fei said.
"Huh?!" The Emperor of the Sea Emperor was stunned.
"If the Naga race dug up the ancestral graves of the previous Popes, do you think the Vatican would remain silent?" Jiang Fei sneered.
"Well … You are right. However, it is not easy to frame them!" The Emperor of the Sea Emperor hesitated. He thought that Jiang Fei was going to frame them.
"What if it is true? Moreover, I have evidence! "Jiang Fei said.
"Really?!" The Emperor of the Sea Emperor's eyes lit up. If what Jiang Fei said was true, the Vatican would definitely fight the Naga race to the death!
"Really!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"Good! If that is the case, I will have to discuss this with Augustus! " The Emperor of the Sea Emperor nodded. He then said to Jiang Fei, "In order to not let the Naga race drag us down, I have a small problem that I need your help to solve!"
"Ding! The Emperor of the Sea Emperor Poseidon has issued you a Legendary Hidden Quest: Eliminate Hidden Threats! Do you accept? "
"If it is possible, I am willing to serve you!" As Jiang Fei felt that he had let King Alec and the Merfolk down, he did not ask about the Quest and accepted it.
"Okay! Later, go and talk to King Alec about the details of the Quest. Take this, it will help you! " The Emperor of the Sea Emperor waved his hand and an attendant walked to Jiang Fei with a tray. Clearly, before Jiang Fei arrived, the Emperor of the Sea Emperor had already arranged everything. He did not need to discuss with Jiang Fei about joining forces with the Nephilim race to attack the Vatican. He had called Jiang Fei here to complete this Quest!
