Chapter 131 Chapter 131: The Truth About Sacrifice

Things have to start 20 years ago, no, maybe even earlier.

After Taylor activated the blood of the demigods, he would come to the Great Trench every year to put some divine blood as a sacrifice, and under the secret promotion of the nobles, Atlantis also completed the change of burial customs, from sea burial to For sacrifices, the remains of all Atlanteans who died of natural causes were sunk into the Great Trench.Here, it is both a forbidden place and a cemetery for all Atlanteans.

In the past few years, Chris would visit for a period of time every year to select ingredients and enjoy the joy, and at the same time, he could use his divine power to supplement Taylor's consumption to a certain extent.After Prince Taylor ascended the throne and got married, Chris never came again.

At that time, the problem was not very obvious, or in other words, there was no problem for a long period of time for ephemeral species, that is, decades.The remains of the Atlanteans appease the pain of the Trench Race, and Taylor's sacrifice provided enough curses. The Trench Race, which was stained with the blood of the demigod, always bears the curse from the blood of the sea god Poseidon, so they did not rush out. The power of the seal, coupled with the occasional nobles who died naturally, the seal has become unprecedentedly stable.

Although the price is that Taylor, who has been paying divine blood, will forever lose the possibility of going further.

But decades passed, and a new problem emerged: Aquaman Tyler's life was coming to an end.

Maybe ten years, 20 years, 30 years, but one day, Atlantis will lose a demigod who is willing to sacrifice himself.

The court mage had sounded the warning, and the spellcasters among the nobles had come to the same conclusion, that with Taylor gone, the seal would be broken again.

The supplement of the entire seal consists of two parts: the flesh and blood of the common people, and the blood of the nobles who are the descendants of the sea god.The number of nobles, compared to commoners, is too small, which means that even if all nobles are willing to donate their bodies after death, the sacrifice of the nobles' natural death may not be enough...

Perhaps Taylor's final sacrifice could bring Atlantis a hundred years of peace, but in the previous thousands of years, Atlantis failed to appear demigod, and in just a hundred years, the next demigod appeared Probability... nobody can guarantee.

And without a demigod, if you want to maintain the seal, you can only sacrifice nobles, maybe not many, but every once in a while, you always need to sacrifice one or two nobles.

This sows the seeds for division.

It's not that the nobles are unwilling to sacrifice, it's just...no one wants to be directly sacrificed without knowing why.To put it bluntly, once this happens, the nobles will no longer trust the royal family.

There is not much difference in blood between the royal family and the nobles of Atlantis. They are all descendants of the sea god Poseidon, but after Atlantis sank into the bottom of the sea, the first demigod sea king appeared The family in his family naturally became the royal family, and his bloodline should be slightly stronger.However, in theory, there is also the possibility of giving birth to a demigod among the blood descendants of other nobles. Once born, the throne may change hands.

Therefore, in name, the nobles obey the orders of the royal family, but in reality, no one obeys anyone.During Taylor's reign, the situation improved a lot. After all, the demigods of parallel importers are also demigods.

However, once Taylor leaves, things will return to the original point, and the split of Atlantis is almost doomed.

Taylor's long-cherished wish in his life is to maintain the prosperity and integrity of the kingdom. Therefore, 20 years ago, Taylor made a crazy decision.

He wants to get that legendary artifact!

As long as there is the Seagod's Trident, the royal family can have greater cohesion, and perhaps Atlantis will not be divided.

However, due to the constant sacrifices, Taylor didn't increase his bloodline activation much at all, and was still just a parallel importer and demigod.Relying on Taylor's own strength, even in its heyday, it is completely impossible to obtain this trident. Taylor still wants to be self-aware about this.What's more, 20 years ago, Taylor's physical condition was already declining.

Therefore, Taylor could only make a helpless decision to launch a huge expedition to let the army clear the way and escort him into the depths of the trench.

The nobles didn't want to see Atlantis split, after all, it wouldn't do them much good, but they didn't want to risk their lives because of the king's madness.

Regarding the legendary trident, Atlantis has always wanted to get it back, but there is no demigod Neptune, and he can't take it away if he finds it.This time, since Taylor decided to give it a go, the nobles were also happy to provide some material support.

As a result, the royal family and the nobles reached a strange tacit understanding.

The nobles had the money to contribute money and provided a large amount of supplies, but they refused to contribute, so most of the elite troops of Atlantis could not be moved, and Taylor could only recruit civilians—he recruited a group of Atlantis soldiers. Most of the civilians.

The mighty army marched into the trench. In the unfamiliar place, in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, a group of civilians who have not received any training, holding simple weapons, are fighting against the fearless. Nearly endless Trench races.

This can no longer be said to be a war, it is completely death!

Or...a sacrifice...

When Taylor recruited, he made a special selection and took away almost all the old, weak, sick and disabled in Atlantis. The proportion of young and middle-aged people in the team is not high. Everything is for Atlantis. s future.

This was a tragic massacre. Taylor was able to rush to the depths of the trench entirely because... the Trench people along the way were all full.

On the water screen, Taylor finally reached the end of his journey.

This is a scene that only Taylor has ever seen. When Taylor came back, he brought back the artifact, but he didn't confide a word about the final test. Even members of the royal family like Ryan and Lila never knew the truth about it. He immediately held his breath.

After Taylor came back, everyone was guessing what happened to him there. Some said it was sealed, the legendary monster Karason, and some speculated that since it was the old nest of the Trench Race, there must be countless Trench Race. ...

However, Taylor remained silent, refused to say a word, and no one could force a demigod Neptune with an artifact.

In fact, nothing.

There were no monsters, no Trench tribe, only bones all over the floor, and a corpse in golden armor holding a golden trident in his hand.

As a chef, looking at the bones to distinguish race is one of the basic skills. Chris can recognize at a glance that those are the corpses of the Trench tribe, and I don’t know how thick they are.

It seems that there was indeed something here before, and it was so powerful that even the Trench Clan who had killed without intelligence dared to approach it.What's more interesting is that Chris also found that these bones are not the same, occasionally one or two pieces at the bottom can be seen, more like...human bones!Therefore, if we can conduct field investigations, we may be able to unravel the mystery of the degradation of the Trench Race...

However, this is not the point now. In the picture, Taylor did not hesitate too much, and reached out and pulled out the trident.

The golden trident exuded a dazzling light, as if it was resisting. The powerful energy impacted on Taylor, and Taylor's silver-white beard and hair instantly became paler. His face struggled with a pained expression, but he always held it tightly. Holding on to the trident, he refused to let go at all.

In the end, Taylor's incomplete demigod blood was barely recognized by the Seagod Trident, the light gradually subsided, and the artifact stopped resisting, allowing Taylor to pull it out.

After the trident was killed, the body of the first Sea King was instantly wiped out, and the golden armor on his body turned into a stream of light and merged into the trident.

The picture ends here abruptly, and there is no further explanation of how Taylor went back, but I also know that the way back is not so easy, and it is even crazier than when I came...

"So, how many people died in the end?" Chris asked, "Or, how many people came back in the end?"

"Not much," Taylor shook his head, he was getting more and more tired visible to the naked eye, if it wasn't for being in the water, he might have slumped to the ground, "After that, the population of Atlantis was only one third... ..."

Ryan and Lila covered their mouths in horror and almost made a sound. They never knew that Atlantis still had such a history. Twenty years ago...it seemed that they hadn't been born at that time?

"Hehe," Chris sneered, "It's ridiculous, the prince who could sacrifice everything for Atlantis back then chose this kind of 'sacrifice'... such things as kingship, time, etc. In a way, it's really... amazing." Turning around, Chris didn't even want to face Taylor again.

"Sacrifice... I have made enough sacrifices! Even my children..." Taylor suddenly became excited, "At least all sacrifices are valuable. With it, Atlantis will not be It will split again..." Taylor tightly gripped the trident in his hand.

Another water curtain formed, and this time, when they finally retreated, the Trench Clan, who were so insanely stimulated by countless blood, chased them closely, and even wanted to chase them out of the seal together.

When Taylor and the others go out, they will definitely have a certain impact on the seal. If the Trench Clan rush out with them, Atlantis will be in big trouble.

Twenty years ago, Taylor's son was already 20 years old. He hadn't activated the blood of the demigod, and even as an Atlantean, he had no fighting power.This time on the expedition, his father took him with him, but he didn't bring his younger and stronger son who was in his prime, and he probably understood what was going on in his heart.

Perhaps, this is the fate of the royal family of Atlantis.

He didn't resent his father. From the moment he agreed to the expedition, he already had a premonition of his future. Now is the time.It's ridiculous, I'm afraid I'm the only "trash" in the history of Atlantis who has been a prince for 70 years?He is not a demigod like his father, and even worse than his son in politics. He has been doing nothing all his life, and now, he can do something for Atlantis.

With a smile, the elderly Taylor's son was about to leave the team, but was suddenly pulled back.

"Why, I have been with you for 40 years as a princess, and I haven't been a queen for a day, and now you want to throw me away?" The same gray-haired wife beside him complained dissatisfiedly, just like the past 40 years.

The two old men joined hands, a wave of water burst out, and they went against the current, facing the endless Trench Race...
