The royal families on this sea are mostly a very special group.
The barrier of the sea makes each island an independent entity, which leads to the extremely stable inheritance of the royal family.
The royal families on some islands have even been passed down for thousands of years and have not changed from ancient times to the present, which has given rise to a strange kind of self-confidence.
They believe that this country has always belonged to them, and even if they leave for some reason, it does not mean they have given up ownership of the country.
The World Government also has an ambiguous attitude towards these royal families. Even if the countries of these royal families lose their status as member states or decline for other reasons, the World Government will still protect some of the nobles individually.
After all, for this type of king, the country's lack of money does not mean they have no money. The royal family will usually squeeze the people one last time and then leave with the people's wealth.
Even if they lose their kingdom, they still have huge amounts of cash and treasures. The World Government does not mind keeping a few such losers, after all, they can also generate gold coins.
These people who are accustomed to a luxurious life will not change themselves because of suffering, and the officials of the world government can also make a lot of money in the process.
However, if their value is squeezed out, they will be discarded as garbage.
These royal families also have some potential special value. Sometimes they can be used to better enslave and control a country. After all, as long as they can return to the throne, these royal families don't care about anything else.
No matter how hard the lives of the people below are, as long as it does not affect their power, it is enough.
"So, brother Wang, what should we do?"
A man looked at a man next to him who had a mean look on his face and a brown mushroom-shaped hair.
There is a crown on his mushroom head, and combined with the address given by the people around him, there is no doubt that he is the former king here.
The royal family of the Kingdom of Fafleur has now been passed down to the sixteenth generation, which can be called Bowen XVI. Well, sixteenth may not be an auspicious number in the royal family.
It's just that this Bowen Sixteen is a little special. When the royal family of the Kingdom of Fafler fled nineteen years ago, he was just a prince.
The king at that time was his father Bowen XV. In pursuit of eternal life, he was deceived into nothing, and even Bowen XVI had no chance to succeed to the throne. He had to go into exile overseas with the royal family.
Even his succession to the throne was in vain. Bowen XV, who had consumed a huge amount of wealth, ultimately failed to achieve his goal and died of illness outside a few years ago.
Bowen XVI, who only had the throne but no real power, was very depressed. Occasionally, news came from Firefly Island, where a new kingdom was established, which made him even more unwilling, so he returned to this land.
"Don't be impatient. This person has a very scary weapon in his hand. We must first find a way to find it. It would be best if we could get that thing into our hands."
"Yes, and that, if we can hand that over to the World Government, they will definitely support us in becoming a member state again."
"."
Listening to his brother's speech, Bowen Sixteen's mouth twitched a few times.
The weapon he mentioned before was of course Iron Oz. If this weapon was mastered, the Kingdom of Fafler would surely rise again.
Apart from anything else, this weapon alone is enough to establish hegemony over neighboring countries.
But his brother's first thought was to hand it over, which made him feel that his brother was too stupid.
But his brother thought so too.
"Foolish fellow! His father actually chose him to be king. How could the World Government allow such a weapon to remain in the hands of others? The most profitable way is to hand it over as soon as possible in exchange for profit."
Before, his elder brother succeeded to the throne in name only and had no real power, so his younger brother did not care who would be the king.
Except for the members of the Favre royal family, outsiders do not recognize this king at all. But if the country is really taken back, the meaning of the throne will be different.
Of course, this kind of intrigue is something that will happen later, and they are still in the same camp now.
The prince's younger brother thought that getting the weapon was a very reasonable thing to do, but he planned to use the weapon to trade with the World Government after getting it, so as to abolish his brother.
"Let's go, the secret passage should not have been discovered yet.
I haven't seen that big guy anywhere near here. He must be hiding in the secret room that my father dug underground."
It is impossible for a mountain-sized body to disappear out of thin air. In the eyes of the Favre royal family, Iron Oz can only be placed underground.
In addition to the brothers, they were accompanied by several followers who were also nobles of the kingdom at that time.
If the Kingdom of Fafleur is restored, these people will also benefit from it, so they support the other party.
Avoiding the crowds participating in the Evolution Day, these people came to a relatively secluded place, pulled aside the vines and weeds outside, revealing the cave entrance inside.
"Sure enough, it's still here. These people haven't even noticed this place. Let's go."
After lighting the torches, several people walked into the tunnel, but before they had taken a few steps, the way forward was blocked by huge rocks.
"Brother Wang, it seems they have discovered this place. I'm afraid this road is blocked."
"It doesn't matter. It's such a long tunnel. Even if they find it, they can't block it completely. At most, they can only block a part of it. If they dig it up here, the road ahead will definitely be clear."
Under the leadership of Bowen XVI, a group of people started their own earthwork. In fact, Bowen XVI's idea was not too strange.
The ancestors of the Favre royal family spent a lot of time digging this secret passage. According to common sense, even if the new royal family discovered this secret passage, they would preserve it to deal with special situations.
But Orlan does not belong to this conventional category. Not only does he not need this secret passage, he also has a special way to seal it again.
It is indeed difficult to block it with human power, but it is different when it is a dragon that does it.
It looked like just a piece of rock, but in reality, it was the result of Terra using the power of the mountains and land to block everything. In layman's terms, it was solid from beginning to end.
Even if Garp used it as a punching bag to practice his punches, he would still have to beat him for a while.
At the rate they were digging, by the time Leliana became the strongest in the world, they might have already dug half of it.
But they didn't waste too much time on this matter. While they were trying to reopen the passage, someone noticed them.
Right below these people, Terra opened his eyes. As a mountain dragon, he was building his own "underground kingdom".
That is to say, according to Oran's intention, he was responsible for the excavation of underground facilities. Leliana and Terra had done this together in the past.
As a mountain dragon, Terra has a special sense of the land and is keenly aware of changes on it.
"Roar [This direction. Someone is trying to steal our treasure?!]"
The fact that these people could dig the ground was a great improvement, but they had no idea of the specific direction.
Moreover, the boulder was very solid, so the old royal family wanted to dig a road next to it to bypass it, but this would result in them heading towards the bank instead of the royal city.
Orlan called it the Zodiac Vault, which was the national bank here and stored a large number of valuables.
In a sense, it makes perfect sense for an underground bank to be guarded by a dragon, and dragons have a special obsession with treasure, and mountain dragons are no exception.
In Terra's cognition, it is also a member of the family. In order to protect her family's property, Terra took out a red and white capsule from the small bag around her neck and threw it into her mouth.
With a low growl, Terra's body began to swell and grow, entering the form of a young man again.
Then he raised his claws and dug upwards.
The claws of the mountain dragon have very special abilities when it comes to digging. Solid soil is no different from loose snow under Terra's claws. After a short while, the top is completely dug open, and several figures fall down with the soil and rocks.
"Ah! What happened! My hand!"
"Your Majesty, are you all right?"
Accompanied by screams, several people fell and piled up on top of each other, and the torches in their hands went out as they fell.
There was no lighting in the underground tunnel, so a few people groped their way together and asked about other people's situations.
Except for an unlucky noble who broke his leg in the fall, everyone else was fine.
"Damn it, what's going on?"
"Maybe it's an underground cave? Did we dig in the wrong place?"
"Stop talking nonsense, where are the torches? It's too dark in here, light the torches quickly."
In the darkness, they couldn't see what was happening around them and could only grope around to find the torch they had just dropped. But at this moment, someone noticed something was amiss.
"Huff."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, did you hear any heavy breathing?"
The person who just touched the torch felt a sense of crisis and felt a warm air flow passing regularly over his head.
With a bad premonition in his heart, he quickened his movements, tremblingly lit the match in his hand, and ignited the extinguished torch.
The firelight disc player dispelled the darkness around them, broke the unknown in their hearts, and brought a new fear.
The flames on the torches flickered with Terra's breathing, and the reflected shadows formed a hideous picture on Terra's scales. Against the backdrop of the cave, it seemed even more eerie and strange.
The huge dragon's eyes reflected the firelight, without any emotion.
"There's a monster!"
The man holding the torch let out a terrified wail, and the torch in his hand fell to the ground. Then he crawled up using his hands and feet, trying to escape from here, but all he was greeted with was a roar.
"roar!!!"
A violent sound wave came out of Terra's mouth. In the underground tunnel, the sound wave was quickly bounced back, surrounding the ears of these people and directly shocking them unconscious.
