Chapter 290: The Seven Kingdoms and Atlanna's Qualification to Become Sea King (Fourth update, please subscribe!)

~6 min read 1,192 words

The Neptune Trident represents extraordinary significance and faith to Atlanna, and to every Atlantean; since she now knows its whereabouts, Atlanna doesn't want to wait any longer.

Anyway, they are going to the Trench Kingdom, where day or night has no meaning.

Perhaps because she had been drinking, Atlanna couldn't suppress her excitement and stood up directly, saying.

"No, we're going now!"

After speaking, Atlanna staggered and swayed a few times before holding onto the table to steady herself.

Su Quan gave her a look of annoyance and pulled her down to sit: "In your current state, even if you could see the Neptune Trident safely, you wouldn't be able to get your hands on it."

"Sit down and tell us about the Seven Kingdoms."

Atlanna might have been truly drunk; she obediently didn't argue, steadied her mind, and began to talk about the Seven Kingdoms.

Dai Anna and the others didn't know much about the Seven Kingdoms, and Su Quan knew that if he wanted to unify Atlantis, he would definitely have conflicts with them, so he listened carefully.

Atlantis fell and sank to the bottom of the sea, splitting into Atlantis, the Kingdom of Xebel, the Kingdom of the Fishermen, the Kingdom of the Brine, the Trench Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Exiles, and the Lost Kingdom.

Atlantis and the Kingdom of Xebel still retained their "human" appearance and were also the two most powerful kingdoms.

The future Queen Mera is a princess of the Kingdom of Xebel.

The Kingdom of the Fishermen: their technological strength is the strongest among the several kingdoms, but in order to better adapt to the living environment of the seabed, their legs have completely degenerated into fish tails, scales have evolved on their bodies, and their facial features have become very close to those of fish.

The Kingdom of the Brine: this kingdom sank near a submarine volcano, so they evolved thick shells, and their appearance became extremely similar to crabs and lobsters.

The Kingdom of the Exiles: they did not completely sink into the ocean at the time, but were flooded by an inland sea; they continued to live on the seabed of the inland sea, but with the disappearance of this inland sea, the area turned into a desert, and this tribe also perished.

Because they did not sink into the deep sea with the other kingdoms, this kingdom is also called the Kingdom of the Forsaken by the Atlanteans.

The Lost Kingdom has completely lost contact with the other kingdoms; no one knows its location, no one has been there, no one knows what it has become, and no one has encountered the citizens of this kingdom again.

After talking about the other kingdoms, only the Trench Kingdom remains.

The other kingdoms are somewhat afraid of the Trench Kingdom; not only do they regard the Trench Kingdom as a death zone, but they also offer sacrifices to them.

The Atlanna in the movie was sacrificed to them; a dignified Queen of a kingdom, she didn't even have a decent way to die!

The degeneration of the Trench Kingdom, or rather the Trench tribe, is the most severe among the Seven Kingdoms.

They sank quite deep back then, falling into the ocean trench where they never see sunlight all year round; besides killing and eating, the Trench tribe can no longer think, basically equivalent to ferocious beasts or sea monsters.

Once you enter their territory, you will be attacked by the group; either you run, or it's a fight to the death, there is simply no way to communicate.

Therefore, people from other kingdoms have searched for the Neptune Trident for so many years and still have nothing to show for it, because they never thought of the Trench Kingdom, and even if they did, they didn't dare to get close.

"It sounds like this Trench tribe is very dangerous, why don't we go together tomorrow?" Dai Anna was a bit worried and wanted to go with them.

Su Quan shook his head and smiled lightly: "It might be a bit dangerous for you, but for me, it's just so-so. When we get the trident, I'll open a portal to pick you up."

"Don't look at the Trench Kingdom as never seeing sunlight all year round and having a poor environment; in fact, deep inside there is a wormhole that can teleport to the Hidden Sea at the center of the earth. The environment inside is quite good, and you can also see many extinct creatures."

"Really? What kind of things are there?" Helen, who was the most curious, couldn't help but ask.

"What I can tell you is that there are dinosaurs there; as for the rest, you can discover them slowly when the time comes."

Helen nodded repeatedly; other things could be put aside for now, but dinosaurs alone were worth the price of admission and satisfied her curiosity.

Aliens: Bad review!

Atlanteans: Bad review!

Dinosaurs: Good review!

Wei Ni Li Ya didn't have much interest in dinosaurs, but Dai Anna was looking forward to it, perhaps because she worked at a museum, although—she had only been working there for a few days!

Atlanna had already passed out drunk; anyway, the illusion left in Atlantis could last for a few days without any problems, and Su Quan was too lazy to fuss, so he simply carried her to his room to sleep.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, early morning.

Atlanna, who got up early, missed the market; by the time she finished breakfast with Su Quan, it was almost noon.

Above the waters of the Trench Kingdom, a golden portal appeared out of thin air; Su Quan held Atlanna and hovered in the air, his deep gaze peering through the bottomless sea.

The territory of the Trench Kingdom is neither big nor small; once you enter the water, you will immediately attract dense swarms of the Trench tribe. Rather than finding directions on the seabed, Su Quan prefers to determine everything before taking action.

…………

"Are you ready?"

Su Quan asked Atlanna, who was gripping her five-pronged spear, while he looked for the location of the Trench wormhole.

Atlanna said solemnly: "I am ready."

Su Quan gave an "um" and said: "The Neptune Trident is somewhat similar to the Stormbreaker; it's not that just because you see it and pick it up, you can use it."

"You need to gain its recognition; only the ruler of Atlantis, only the Sea King, is qualified to use it!"

"Don't be nervous either; its requirements aren't as high as the Stormbreaker's. You just need to keep your original intention, and as long as you don't just lie there and win after going down, it should be fine."

Artifacts recognizing their masters, it's a very normal little trope; if it could be obtained by anyone easily, where would the prestige be?

The biggest reason why Atlanna couldn't get the Neptune Trident after living in the Hidden Sea for so many years in the movie should be that she couldn't beat the sea monster Karathen that guarded it. ===== CHAPTER 292 =====
