"Whether it's the Arctic Ocean or the merfolk, do you really think I don't exist?!"
Just as a cold glint flashed in Jia Long's eyes.
The pirates happened to be talking about him.
"The merfolk are making such a grand show of arranging a marriage alliance with the Arctic Ocean; it's obvious they want to align themselves with that side. Will General Hailong agree? We've seen this general with our own eyes!"
"We've only seen him once. General Hailong appeared once and then disappeared. He might have already died in battle. Don't forget, everyone, our Sea Realm is at war with the Holy Domain!"
"The captain is right. The one in charge of the North Atlantic now is our powerful backer, Commander Redbeard. He's the one who arranged the merfolk marriage. If the Sea General were still alive, how could it be the Sea Commander's place to make the decisions?"
"Yes, it is said that the sea priests of the North Atlantic are all from the mermaid race. Now that the sea commander and the sea priests have joined forces and are heading towards the Arctic Ocean, even if General Sea Dragon is alive, he will be so angry that he will die!"
Chapter 163 Return! My Name is Hailong (Part 3)
When the topic of General Hailong came up, the pirates chattered excitedly, and at the end, they didn't forget to bring up Jia Long as well.
"Young man, do you think General Hailong is dead or not?"
"I think... he should... probably... maybe... still alive."
"Then why doesn't he dare to show his face? And why does he allow the Sea Commander and the Sea Priest to approach the Arctic Ocean? Is it because he is afraid of the Sea General of the Arctic Ocean?"
"This one……"
Having just dealt a heavy blow to the three giants of the underworld and sealed away a god, Jia Long felt he was truly unable to answer this question.
Can he say that it's actually because your General Hailong has been busy lately?
As they spoke, the sailboat had already approached a magnificent island.
A vast island, entirely woven from colorful corals, looks like a fairyland at sea.
"finally reached!"
Upon seeing the island, the pirates couldn't help but cheer. The captain pointed to the island and introduced it to Jia Long:
"Young man, do you see this? This is Coral Island! Legend has it that the fish-men are the most skilled at manipulating coral, and all the buildings on this Coral Island were made of coral by them."
Jia Long asked curiously, "Shouldn't fish-men be swimming in the sea? How come they live on islands?"
"I can tell you're from the outer sea, young man. The fish-men have three forms in their lives. When they are weak, they are fish. After awakening their cosmos, they become half-human and half-fish. Once they come ashore, they are just like us humans. Well, they just can't touch water. If they do, they become half-human and half-fish again."
The captain explained with a smile, "In order to maintain their human form, fish-men are even more afraid of water than we are. Therefore, after they transform, they usually live on islands without water."
"So awakening one's inner universe is about taking form..."
Jia Long nodded and followed the captain's gaze to Coral Island. At this moment, many ships were gathered in the port of this magnificent island, including sailboats, cruise ships, and even warships, presumably all of which were carrying guests from the Seven Seas.
Meanwhile, the docks were bustling with people and fish of all shapes and sizes.
It was only then that Jia Long truly witnessed the difference between the sea and the land.
Among the so-called guests who came were men with the lower body of a human and the upper body of a snake, as well as women with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake. They were clearly the Snake People, one of the Seven Great Sea Clans.
Some carry a turtle-like shell on their backs; these are the turtle people.
Those with shells on both arms are the Clam People.
There are also those with crocodile or dolphin heads on their heads, clearly belonging to the Crocodile People and Pig People tribes.
The most peculiar are the demon race.
Jia Long originally thought that the "demon" in the so-called demon race meant demonic nature, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the so-called demon was actually the demon of the manta ray. The whole person looked unusually flat, as if he could fly up with just a slight flap of his arms.
Besides the seven major sea creatures, there were many others whose species Jia Long couldn't guess. These were likely other smaller sea creatures. These strangely shaped sea creature visitors were clearly those who hadn't awakened their microcosmic transformations.
Of course, there are also those who awaken and transform into human form. These sea creatures are similar to human warriors, and they are mixed together and difficult to distinguish.
We are now in an era of great racial integration led by humankind.
After awakening and transforming, almost every sea creature has the air of a successful person.
They either exude the aura of a powerful figure, the aura of a wealthy person, the aura of an aristocrat, and there are even a few transformed sea creatures who have the air of fat, big-eared bureaucrats...
After landing on the island, Jia Long and the pirate captain headed towards the Fishman royal court.
The Fishman Royal Court, located in the center of Coral Island, is a magnificent palace complex entirely constructed from various beautiful corals. It occupies almost half of the island's area, and its architecture is exquisite, showcasing the Fishman royal family's noble status in the North Atlantic.
"Young man, you come from the outer sea. Although you must have been invited to come here, the Fishman Royal Court is not like an ordinary place. There are many rules here. Be careful when you go in and don't wander around aimlessly."
Let me tell you a secret: our great backer, Lord Redbeard, the ruler of the North Atlantic, is currently inside, along with many other distinguished sea warriors and powerful figures from the other seven sea races. These are the esteemed guests of the Fish-Men, and we cannot afford to offend any of them.
In the presence of these important figures, even if we are fighters, we must keep a low profile and behave humbly. In short, being modest and unassuming is always the right thing to do.
"Alright, I still need to pay my respects to Commander Redbeard. Young brother, let's part ways here."
Because they got along well on the ship, the pirate captain kindly gave Jia Long a few pointers before heading towards the gates of the Fishman's Royal Court.
When facing the merfolk guards on both sides of the gate.
The pirate captain, who had just been standing tall and proud like a warrior, had become incredibly humble. He respectfully handed over the invitation, and after the guards checked and let him pass, he bowed and thanked them profusely as he entered the royal court.
The captain gave such a humble gift, and still had to act all grateful.
This made Jia Long realize the power and prestige of the merfolk.
He was even more annoyed!
With a cold laugh, Jia Long walked towards the gate of the royal court. A merman guard immediately strode over and arrogantly raised his hand to block his way.
"Halt! Outsider, where is your invitation?"
"What invitation?"
"You didn't even know you received an invitation, yet you dared to come here to give gifts?"
"I'm not here to deliver a gift, I'm here to find someone."
When questioned by the guards, Jia Long replied calmly.
"Find someone?"
Upon hearing Jia Long's reply, the merman guard immediately said coldly:
"Don't even think about making excuses to sneak in. This is the royal court of the Fishmen. Lord Redbeard, the ruler of the North Atlantic Ocean, is currently inside entertaining distinguished guests from the Seven Seas with Her Majesty the Queen. How dare someone of unknown identity like you enter?"
The guard revealed a mocking expression.
He'd seen plenty of these hotheads these past few days.
Ever since Redbeard, the de facto ruler of the North Atlantic, arrived in the Fish-Man race, countless people have tried to curry favor with this esteemed sea ruler. Among them are sea merchants, pirates, small sea creatures, and many more, just hotheads like Jalong.
They didn't even get an invitation, yet they foolishly came to pay their respects. Do they really think just anyone can walk in here?
As the guards mocked him, the guests behind Jia Long joined in with their own laughter.
"This young man is really something, not even knowing how to give gifts properly."
"Young calves are all like this, thinking that as long as they bring money, someone will accept it. Little do they know how noble the Commander-in-Chief and the Queen are. They need to be qualified to even glance at them!"
"Exactly! This kid can't even get through the door, what kind of gift could he possibly give!"
To these visitors, Jia Long was a complete joke, and the fishman guards, seeing the growing crowd at the entrance, immediately showed impatience and waved their hands as if to shoo Jia Long away.
"Outsider, don't waste our time. Get out of here! And next time, keep your eyes open. This isn't a place for people like you!"
"Oh? There are places in the North Atlantic that I can't go?"
Chapter 164 Return! My Name is Hailong (Part 4)
Just as the merman guards raised their hands to shoo at Jia Long, Jia Long raised his hand and extended a finger towards him.
A slender, fair finger.
Give it a flick.
A loud "bang" was heard.
Before the merman guards could even get close to Jia Long, he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through the heavy gate behind him and disappearing into the depths of the royal court.
"Wow!"
An uproar erupted outside the royal court gate. All the guests stared wide-eyed, never dreaming that Jia Long, this young man who seemed to have come to pay his respects, would actually make such a move.
Moreover, it demonstrated its overwhelming power against the Murloc Guardians.
Wasn't he here to pay his respects?
Or are they here to cause trouble?
However, now is the time for the Fishman princess to get married, and powerful figures have gathered on Coral Island. Not to mention that the Fishman race is not to be trifled with, several members of the race have already obtained the Scale Armor and become the most glorious Sea Warriors in the North Atlantic.
Even the actual ruler of this ocean, the Sea Lord Redbeard, is here as a guest.
Committing trouble at this time is simply courting death, isn't it?
They're really just greenhorns, thinking they can wreak havoc on Coral Island just because they crushed the merman guards?
While the guests outside were staring in disbelief, the other merman guards all changed color.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you cause trouble at the Fishman Royal Court!"
As the guests expected, the merman guards, though shocked by Jalong's power, did not show the slightest sign of backing down because they were confident in their abilities. Instead, they roared in unison, preparing to rush forward and entangle Jalong.
After all, they are awakened and transformed fish-man warriors, so they still have the courage to face strong opponents.
"Humph!"
However, the moment they lifted their feet, Jia Long glanced at them indifferently, and with a cold snort, the merman guards felt an immense pressure descend from the sky, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
At that moment, they felt as if they were facing not a young human, but a giant dragon from the ancient wilderness.
"Dragon's Might?!"
The fish-men are one of the seven great sea races because they possess some dragon blood, but for this reason, they are exceptionally sensitive to the aura of dragons.
The dragon's might was as powerful as a mountain, and the merman guards felt their blood tremble all over, and in an instant they all went limp to the ground and could no longer stand up.
At this moment, Jia Long didn't even glance at them, and walked into the Fishman royal court with his hands behind his back.
As if strolling leisurely in a courtyard.
All that remained behind him were stunned stares.
