Dressed as the only Omega in the Star Military Academy

Chapter 695 Taking Over the Relics

Seeing this, Lu Chihuan stopped talking.

Instead, he adjusted his expression, then looked up solemnly at the old man standing in the center of the square not far away.

The bell that just rang...

He was the one who rang it.

The old man simply made a gesture, and the originally noisy square immediately became quiet. He tapped the ground lightly with his cane, and then spoke in a calm voice:

"So far."

"We have successfully performed this ceremony hundreds of times."

"And every time a ceremony is held, it is to offer the most sincere and heartfelt blessings to our great emperor. We hope that our wishes can be conveyed to his majesty's heart through the sea of ​​​​situ and deeply, so that he will be free from illness and disaster from now on."

"So as to lead our mermaid tribe onto the right path."

"Restored to its former glory."

have to say.

What the old man said was extremely provocative, and Lu Chihuan felt his blood boiling after hearing it.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked around, and saw that the mermaids and half-mermaids beside him were looking at the old man with a bit of fanaticism and excitement in their eyes. At this time, they couldn't help but raise their right hands and waved them vigorously in the air a few times.

They also shouted out cheers that were almost like a tidal wave, "We offer our loyalty to His Majesty!"

Lu Chihuan didn't want to act like an outlier, so he raised his hands and waved a few times as if he was encouraged, and also echoed a few words.

but.

Only one person was calm.

That is the mermaid Alpha standing next to Lu Chihuan.

He did not get caught up in the frenzy like others.

The expression on his face was as calm as water.

At this moment, he was watching everything in front of him coldly, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his pigeon blood red eyes, as if he found the scene in front of him very funny.

That's right.

very funny.

In fact, he didn't think these mermaids were praying for him.

The object of their prayers is merely an illusory symbol that exists in their minds and is imagined out of thin air. In the imagination of these mermaids, he may be wise, powerful, and perfect.

Use powerful force to protect the entire mermaid tribe.

In short.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the real you.

In Stuka Lumen's opinion.

Even if the Emperor in this imaginary symbol is not himself or Stuka Lumin, it seems that there is no problem replacing him with anyone else. After all, the mermaids only need an existence to comfort their empty hearts.

As for the rest.

They don't seem to care that much.

So this is what Stuka Lumin thinks is ridiculous. They would rather pray to the so-called illusory symbol in their hearts than spare a bit of their attention to understand the real him.

It seems that Stuka Lumen himself is not that important.

Perhaps that is the case.

Only his parents and siblings could see his true nature beneath his brutal and cruel disguise, and what made Stuka Lumin feel painful was that...his relatives were no longer in this world.

No one will take the initiative to understand him.

He would only be bound under that throne and spend the rest of his life and time alone.

"All right."

The old man seemed to be very satisfied with everything he saw, so his face looked a little rosy. At this moment, his eyes swept across the mermaid in the square.

It seems to be looking for something.

"Now--"

"I declare the ceremony officially begun!"

After saying this, he pressed the starter button in his hand again.

Originally, there was a huge object, almost as high as a hill, piled next to the old man. It was covered with bright and thick velvet red cloth, so that Lu Chihuan could not see clearly what it was, and he had some guesses in his mind.

Now, the thick red cloth was suddenly pulled off as the button was pressed.

Lu Chihuan finally saw clearly what it was.

It turned out to be a statue.

A statue carved from jade.

Perhaps they feel that the current emperor is tyrannical and ruthless, which does not quite fit the image of a wise and powerful emperor in the minds of the mermaids.

So the image adopted in this statue is... Stuka Lumin when he was still the third prince. At that time, his face was elegant and handsome, and his pair of eyes like the blue sea contained a spirited smile, as if his heart was full of hope.

Lu Chihuan took a look.

I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

As the red cloth on the statue was torn off, thunderous cheers and applause broke out in the huge square.

The mermaids and half-mermaids present lined up in an orderly manner.

After briefly stopping in front of the statue to offer their blessings and gifts, they could not help but pour out their worries and difficulties, and then made wishes one after another, as if they really regarded their emperor as an omnipotent god.

of course.

The gift does not need to be something valuable. It can be handmade cookies, straw grasshoppers, or a few wild flowers picked up from anywhere. There is no strict rule on this.

Lu Chihuan came out in a hurry.

I didn't prepare any special gifts.

However, the treasures in his storage ring were numerous, so he was not in a hurry. He could just pick out one or two items and give them away as gifts later.

Now his eyes briefly swept across the old man's face, guessing in his heart that the other party was probably looking for the so-called big shot.

Before he entered the city, he had heard from the mermaids that an important person would enter the city to participate in the ceremony. For this reason, the consul was eager to catch the murderer who destroyed the sacrifices and materials.

only.

Who is this important person?

Could it be the Prime Minister of the Stuka mermaid clan, or could it be the divine-level mecha Yuluan that is regarded as a sacred artifact by everyone? It can't be Stuka Lumen, right?

To know.

Because of the previous incident in the palace, he almost never left Stuhai.

Because I can't think of the answer.

Lu Chihuan simply poked the mermaid Alpha standing next to him with his elbow.

The pair of black eyes blinked a few times, and then tilted the head unconsciously, looking like a curious little animal, "Um... do you know..."

"Who is this important person coming to the city this time? Has he entered the city? Why haven't I seen him from beginning to end? Could it be that this person is very low-key..."

To the end.

He didn't just ask questions, he was muttering to himself.

Stuka Lumen stared at the mermaid standing next to him, poked his chin with his index finger, an obvious smile flashed across his deep red eyes, and his voice became lowered a little.

"You are so slow."

I stood here and talked with this hybrid merman for at least seven or eight minutes.

however.

The other party hasn't discovered it yet...

I am the so-called important person.

Although he was worried about being discovered by others and causing chaos, so he wore a face mask on his face, the effect was not that good.

For a moment he began to doubt himself.

Is it possible?

Is it because he has been too quiet during this period of time that there is little news about him on the Star Network, so this hybrid merman in front of him is not so familiar with his voice and hair color?

Also.

His eyes were already cloudy.

In the past, his eyes used to be a quiet and deep light blue, which made people imagine his hometown, Stuhai, at a glance. His parents and brothers also said that these eyes were a gift from the sea and a symbol of them, the mermaids.

But as the Stu Sea was filled with blood.

The color of his eyes was also dyed bloody scarlet in extreme sadness and hatred.

There is no going back.

Thinking of this, Stuka Lumin couldn't help but lower his head, pressing his eyes with his cold fingers, and a bit of anger suddenly arose in his heart.

Because the square is too noisy nowadays.

Lu Chihuan's ears were filled with chaotic noise, so he didn't hear the words of the merman Alpha next to him.

"what?"

He opened his eyes slightly innocently.

The shape of her pupils is a slightly round almond-shaped eye, and the pupils are bright and watery, so when she looks at people, the corners of her eyes droop unconsciously, making her look a little well-behaved.

Just like a simple lamb.

Lu Chihuan couldn't help but explain to himself, "It was too noisy just now."

"I heard nothing."

Stuka Lumen took a deep breath.

After suppressing the anger in his heart, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Chihuan twice.

It seemed that he couldn't tell whether he really didn't hear or was pretending not to hear, so after a moment he deliberately replied in a faint voice, "I just said... I don't really understand either."

Since this mixed-blood mermaid can speak the ancient language that only the mermaid royal family can, he must have a close relationship with a mermaid in their mermaid royal family.

Could it be that the other party has never mentioned himself in front of this mermaid?

The doubts in his heart grew like weeds, so much so that when he looked at the other person, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

In fact.

Now he became even more curious about the identity of the person in front of him.

He couldn't wait to find out what happened to the other party, and after the ceremony was over, Stuka Lumin decided to take the other party to his underwater palace.

As for whether the other party agrees or not.

that's not important.

Since the other party was the "relics" of his brothers and sisters, he was certainly qualified to take over.

Hear this answer.

Lu Chihuan lowered his shoulders in disappointment, and then sighed faintly.

To be honest, he had originally planned to get close to this important figure, and after retrieving the seal containing energy from the small robot, he would use the other party's means to enter the Stuhai Palace.

There is now a total martial law in Stuhai.

If any foreigner enters Stuhai without saying hello, he will be killed without mercy.

There is not even a middle option.

Lu Chihuan didn't want to die in vain.

That's why he was thinking of taking a shortcut now, but now he had no idea where this important person was.

In addition.

He didn't know what the situation was on Jinwu's side, and he had to keep an eye on it. He couldn't spare the time and energy to look for anyone, so he had to give up this idea.

"What do you plan to wish for?"

A voice suddenly came from his ear. Lu Chihuan turned his head and saw the mermaid Alpha raised his chin towards the statue with a little disdain and amusement.

“They’re all making wishes.”

This question made Lu Chihuan stumped.

He participated in this ceremony merely as a formality, and even the gifts were randomly picked out from his storage ring.

and so.

He had no desire at all.

When he met the slightly inquiring gaze of the mermaid Alpha next to him, he finally decided to tell the truth, "I didn't expect to make any wishes. This is just a statue."

“It doesn’t accomplish anything.”

At this point, Lu Chihuan couldn't help but make a joke, "In fact, even if Stuka Lumin himself was here, I wouldn't make a wish to him. Even though he is now the emperor of the entire Stuhai, there are still things he can't do."

"not to mention."

"Don't you think... that putting all the wishes of everyone on the same person is also a kind of cruelty to him?"

Lu Chihuan shook his head disapprovingly.

“This is too heavy.”

"Sooner or later, the other party will be crushed."

Stuka Lumin's breathing became heavier, as if something in his heart was shattered to the ground, and the invisible thing that was strangling his neck loosened.

He looked at the mermen who were praying in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up, and the smile seemed a bit ironic, "You know this truth... How could they not know it?"

"I just care about myself."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Chihuan in front of him seriously, his pigeon-blood red eyes showing some suppressed excitement and joy, "You speak quite nicely, which makes people less disgusted."

Ever since my parents and siblings died in that accident.

He shut himself off.

The passing of time outside was meaningless to him, and he could not taste the ups and downs of life. Everything was boring to him.

and so--

He hasn't been this happy in a long time.

Just as Stuka Lumin was thinking about how to pack up and take away this hybrid merman in front of him in front of everyone, he saw that the other party had already come to the front of the team.

He clasped his hands together.

After closing his eyes and pretending to pray for a few times, he placed a round and soft pearl under the statue.

Stuka Lumen raised an eyebrow.

While putting down his gift, he quietly picked up the pearl and examined it carefully. Pearls of such outstanding quality and size were not likely to be available on the market.

as predicted.

He felt a seal beneath the pearl that marked their royal family.

Very shallow.

Almost undetectable.

This discovery made his guess more certain. Just when he was about to find the hybrid merman to ask what happened, he found that the other party had left his side at some point and was now nowhere to be found.

"Damn it."

Stuka Lumen swore under his breath.

After he tried to find the other person in the crowd but still failed.

He strode out of the square.

He originally planned to gather his subordinates and turn the entire city upside down to find the person, but he did not expect that after seeing him, his subordinates knelt on one knee and said:

"His Majesty."

"I already have a clue to the matter you asked me to investigate earlier. Sure enough, the other party is here again."
