Chapter 460 Arthur and Orm

"Uncle Vico..."

Mera glanced at Vico speechlessly.

"Are you sure you know a lot about the life of people on Earth?"

"Of course I understand!"

Vico nodded decisively.

“I have been to the earth many times, experienced part of the life on earth, and understand many of the customs on earth!

I even tried some of the delicacies on earth, and the most delicious food on earth is cheeseburgers and French fries!"

At this point, Vico rubbed Mera's head and smiled.

"Princess, rest assured. If the matter here can be resolved perfectly, I will definitely take the time to take you to taste the cheeseburger.

His Majesty Nereus has brought you to Atlantis, so naturally there is an opportunity for you to live in Atlantis.

Although the rules in the kingdom are strict, it is okay to break them occasionally. As a princess and future queen, you should see more~"

"Really?!!"

As soon as Vico finished speaking, Mera screamed in surprise.

On the side, the four Atlantis soldiers who were guarding turned their heads helplessly, pretending not to hear the conversation between the Chief Minister and the Princess.

Looking at the surprised Mera, Vico nodded heavily.

"Of course, Princess, I would never deceive you.

But now, we still have to find the whereabouts of the Mother Box first!"

After he finished speaking, Vico held Mera's shoulder and pointed at the figure holding a mobile phone in the distance.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go ask the person on the ground and hope to find out some news from the newspaper."

"Okay, uncle, I'll watch you here~"

Mera nodded obediently, and Vico left the team and stalked towards the guy who was talking on the phone in the distance.

At the same time, the person who was on the phone was talking to the phone.

"Don't argue with me. Our travel plans for this year haven't been carried out yet, so just treat it as a trip!

Although San Francisco is some distance away from Gotham, it is not too far. Who knows if the chaos over there can affect us!
The country of America was finished long ago. The damn White House and Washington are gone. After the aliens come, we can’t even find the president who flew a plane into a spaceship!
Our house is rented anyway, so we should just cancel the lease and leave. Let’s go to Asia, it’s very safe there.

Even if those superheroes in Gotham can't hold on, we won't die here if we run fast.

Trust me, honey, I’ll pick you up from the park right away…Aa ...

Before he could finish his words, his cell phone was snatched away by Vico, and he was pinned to the spot by Vico.

Vico picked up the phone in confusion and took a look at it, especially at the light of the phone screen, and exclaimed.

“This is actually a phone, and it has all the functions?

It's strange, you guys are improving so fast, your original phone wasn't like this, it didn't even have a button!"

"No, don't kill me, damn it, you are not an alien!
Have you been to Earth before? Have you seen old cell phones?
The development of technology is not my fault, go find Steve Jobs, I want to go home…"

"Uh……"

"Woooo!!"

Just when this man was almost scared to tears, the golden retriever he was holding suddenly let out a happy whimper.

The golden retriever dove headfirst into Vico's body, which smelled like seafood. It licked him with a happy look on its face and rubbed its head against Vico's legs.

"Wow……"

Looking at the active golden retriever puppy, Vico exclaimed in amazement.

“This is the first time I’ve seen an animal on the ground. It’s really much cuter than Tobo!
Hey man, would you like to let your blond-haired friend work for me?

I can offer him a maximum salary!"

"what???"

Vico's words terrified the man even more, and he quickly knelt on the ground and hugged his puppy.

"Don't take my dog!"

"Oh, his name is Gou, a nice name.

Since you are reluctant to part, forget it, but the salary I offer is really high.

Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Do you know where the nearest newspaper office is?”

Vico touched the furry puppy with a smile, and the water marks on his body immediately wet the puppy's head, making the puppy look even more silly and cute.

The more Vico watched, the happier he felt. He simply let go of the man and began to rub the little golden retriever who was lying on the ground happily.

As for the owner of the golden retriever.

Seeing the alien who loved dogs so much, the man was not afraid anymore. He just asked Vico thoughtfully.

"Why are you asking for the address of the newspaper? Are there any tabloids that are going to publish gossip about you?"

"Ah? What news? No, no, no, no, that's not it. I just want to know if there's any trouble in human society. I..."

"trouble?"

When Vico mentioned the chaos, the middle-aged man suddenly became energetic, and said with great excitement,
"There are so many troubles. America has become like hell recently!

First, there was trouble in Gotham, and Doctor Fate from the Justice Society appeared in reality, but he was killed!
Then there was Washington, the entire city was gone, at least eight million people died, it was fucking horrible!

Then there was Gotham, that damn place was outrageous, it was quiet for a short while, and then there were alien rewards and a fight!"

Having said that, the middle-aged man was completely certain that Vico had no ill intentions, so he continued with a beaming expression.

"Give me back my phone, and I'll show you the video and you'll understand."

"Video? You can watch videos too? No need for a TV?"

Vico was immediately astonished. The world on earth was developing so fast!
Just like that, not long after.

Mera, who was standing obediently among the four soldiers, waited for Vicco's return.

Vico was seen walking towards Mela with a little golden retriever and an Apple phone in his hand, smiling.

“Princess, please watch the video, I have found the news about the Mother Box kept by the people on earth.

Unfortunately, the people on Earth have lost their Mother Box, but fortunately, a group of powerful warriors have appeared on Earth. Their power... is incredible, and perhaps they can fight against the evil brought by the Mother Box!"

At this point, Vico happily handed the phone that was playing the video on a loop to Mera.

But Mera couldn't help but squat down, staring at the little golden retriever with fiery eyes.

"Uncle Vico, what is this? It's so cute!!!"

“Ah, it’s a golden retriever called Dog, that’s what it should be called.

Isn't he cute? I plan to hire him as a diplomatic assistant when we try to communicate with people on the ground in the future. However, he doesn't seem to be as smart as an octopus. I'm afraid I will have to teach him for a long time. "

Vico glanced at the excited little golden retriever with fondness, and then silently mourned in his mind for the person on the ground who was knocked unconscious by him.

However, considering that the golden retriever named Dog was not angry because he knocked out his companion, but looked happy instead, maybe the people on earth usually abused this golden retriever.

However, this name for the dog doesn’t sound very nice, so I have to think about changing his name.

I don’t know which one he likes… Anyway, after Mera and Vico played with the puppy for quite a while, they finally shared the video.

After watching the Kryptonian fighting Steppenwolf in the video, and seeing the magician rushing into the battlefield.

There was some worry in Mera's eyes.

“This… is this the strength of throwing it on the ground? They are so strong!

I even feel that everyone who appears on the battlefield may be stronger than my father and Orm!"

“Yes, Princess, although I don’t want to admit it, human heroes are truly amazing, just like King Arthur and those knights who worked with our ancestors in the past.

Through the video, I analyzed that although humans lost the Mother Box, the enemy did not actually gain the upper hand.

After all, human life is too short. Perhaps... human history has been interrupted in the inheritance, causing them to not understand the importance of the Mother Box.

In short, if the people in the video focus on the Mother Box, then with their fighting power, the enemy may not stand any chance.

Therefore, I think it is necessary for us to contact humans in advance. At least we should explain the importance of the Mother Box to humans and cooperate with humans to investigate the news about Amazon and the last Mother Box!"

After he finished speaking, Vico simply picked up the little golden retriever and pointed to the mountain road in the park.

“I can see the map on my phone, we’re not far from Gotham, only a few hundred kilometers away.

There are vehicles that people on the ground can use at the foot of the mountain. We will definitely reach Gotham before the sun sets at the latest.

But before we find a vehicle, I would like to trouble the princess to run with us!"

After saying that, Vico took the lead and strode down the mountain.

Seeing this, Mera took two steps uncomfortably and asked Vico while running stiffly.

"Wait, Uncle Vico, what does running mean, how do I run, and why is my body so stiff?"

"Your Highness, the ground is different from the sea. When running on the ground, we need to swing our arms in sync with our steps!"

“Got it, let me try it, wow, it feels really cool!”

“Do you feel different? This is just the beginning. I promise that the princess will encounter more novel things next.

However, Your Highness, please maintain the dignity of the Atlantis royal family no matter what!"

"I will, Vico, but the golden retriever is sticking out his tongue. Can he?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of him, and he's cute when he sticks his tongue out, much cuter than Tobo, and he doesn't spray ink!"

At this point, Vicco, Mera and their group set out on their journey to Gotham.

While they were traveling, or in other words, before they rushed to Haiti, the Atlantis Mother Box had just gone wrong.

In the sea, in a long-ruined underwater temple.

A sturdy man who was staring at the dilapidated statue in the ruined temple suddenly couldn't help but frowning!

"what is that?"

Arthur Curry turned his head uneasily and looked to his left instinctively.

Just now, a sound that made him feel uneasy just by listening to it suddenly came into his ears from a very distant area.

He looked carefully at the direction where the sound came from, and then couldn't help but sneered.

"Tsk, it's them..."

Arthur knew what was over there, the damn kingdom of Atlantis. He had secretly swam there more than once to see the city.

Many years ago, when he was a child, Arthur was unaware of the secrets surrounding him.

He just thought he was an ordinary child... with only his father for company.

Until later...

As Arthur grows up, he discovers that he can actually talk to fish!

Not long after that, Vicco came to him from the bottom of the sea, told him his life story, and taught him a lot of Atlantis knowledge and fighting skills.

But even with Vico's support, Arthur was not very interested in Atlantis.

Who asked that damn kingdom to take away my mother and force her to have a child with another man!
I heard that the child’s name is Om, and Om will be the next king of Atlantis?
Humph, he is the king and I am just a citizen. So what if we are half-brothers? He hates everything about Atlantis.

Moreover, he hoped that his mother could return to him, but his mother had been exiled and executed by the bastards of the Kingdom of Atlantis!
Thinking of this, the disgust in Arthur's eyes deepened.

He immediately rushed out of the ruins and headed towards his own lighthouse.

But as he swam, he couldn't help but think of the voice just now.

Even if it was just a sound, even if he just recalled this sound, the hairs on his body actually stood up!

After swimming for dozens of miles, Arthur still couldn't escape from the feeling of horror.

Finally, he slid his feet suddenly and made a 180-degree turn in the deep sea.

"I don't care about those guys in the sea. I'm just going to take a look, just a look!"

Thinking of this, Arthur quickened his speed and rushed towards the source of the sound.

The Pacific Ocean is so huge that even if Arthur had amazing speed, it took several hours for him to swim to the vicinity of the Mother Box ruins.

At the same time Arthur rushed to the remains of the Mother Box.

In the Atlantis Supreme Council Hall.

Orm, who had recovered from his injuries, and King Nereus were sitting opposite many parliamentarians, arguing with them with different expressions.

At this moment, Om tightly grasped the armrest of the chair and growled to the members of parliament.

"It's either appeasement or hiding, why can't Atlantis take the initiative to attack!

Is it because hiding is our tradition?

Damn it, even the Mother Box that we preserved has been lost. Do you think humans can protect the Mother Box that even we can’t preserve?
Stop kidding, if we can’t do something, humans and Amazonians definitely can’t do it either, because we are the best!
Given the current situation, there is no time for indecision. The enemy is destined to collect the Mother Boxes, and we must be prepared for battle!
So, why should we wait for news from Vico?

What we need is to gather the troops, and then use our overwhelming force to overwhelm the ground, seize the power on the ground in one fell swoop, control them to surround us, and prepare for the battle with the final enemy!

This is what we should do. Compared to that, do you think it is possible for Vico to bring back good news?"

"Wait, Your Highness Om, my daughter is still on the ground!

Even before we have a decisive battle with the Mother Box, we must first stabilize and control the power of the people on the ground to increase our chances of victory.

Even if we do that, we have to wait until my daughter is safely off the ground!"

Nereus interrupted Orm, he was too worried about his daughter.

But just as Nereus finished speaking, two guards walked in with strange faces.

The sudden appearance of the soldiers startled everyone present. They knew that without special circumstances, the guards would never dare to interrupt the parliament.

After a moment, the guards looked at Prince Om with even more weird expressions, and then said.

“Greetings to His Majesty Orm, His Majesty Nereus, and all the Speakers.

Following your orders, we have completely sealed off the location where the Mother Box was stored before it was lost.

But just now, someone... approached there, and was captured by us with heavy losses.

The man said...he was Arthur.

He also said that he was... the son of Her Highness Atlanna!!!"
