Chapter 132 Unexpected questioning
Just talking and laughing all the way, Cao Ke and Changsun Ling finally arrived at the core of the sea clan base camp, which was in front of a huge wooden room under the leadership of Long Nu.
In fact, to be precise, this place should not be called a room anymore, because its size has completely exceeded the scope of the room. If it is stuffed into it, Cao Ke completely believes that it can be stuffed into a reinforced company! Therefore, compared to the name of room, Cao Ke is more willing to call it "the hall". He thinks that this is more appropriate.
Just as Cao Ke was thinking about it, a group of people walked out of this huge room. Most of them were at the age of forty, and they walked quietly. So many people walked together without making any sound. Obviously, the people who came should be masters!
The dragon girl took two steps towards the group of people, stood between the group of people and Cao Ke, raised her hand and pointed to the middle-aged man in forty years old among the group of people, and introduced to Cao Ke: "Master Ke, this is the current chief of my sea tribe!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Ke clasped his fists at the middle-aged man and said politely: "It turns out that the chief is here! What kind of virtue is the boy? How worthy of you to greet him in person!"
The chief of the sea clan raised a lot of Cao Ke, and laughed loudly, saying like a loud sound: "I have heard my little daughter mention Mr. Ke. If you meet him today, it is indeed better to meet him than to be famous! Mr. Ke came from afar for my sea clan. Please come in here quickly! Take a break and have some tea or something!"
As he said that, the chief turned his body and made a gesture of inviting the huge room. Cao Ke understood and politely spoke, raised his footsteps, followed the chief and walked inside together.
The dragon girl, Changsun Ling, and the sea people who followed the chief to greet each other were surrounded by stars like stars and the moon, and also entered the huge room.
After Cao Ke walked into the huge room, he realized that inside and outside the room were like two worlds! Outside the room, the sky was completely dark. Although there was light from the moon and stars, the visibility was quite low, and there was no way to see the scenery in the distance. In addition, the Shanghai Clan's base camp is located on the sea surface. After nightfall, there was no sunlight and the water vapor rose, which always made people feel wet and greasy.
However, this huge room was completely different. Even if it was completely wooden, it could not hide its glory! If Cao Ke was asked to describe this place in an earthly vocabulary, Cao Ke would definitely say the "audience hall".
I don’t know what advanced technology the craftsmen used when they built this place. Anyway, there is no pillar used to support it in the huge room! This is difficult to complete in the theory of architecture!
Not only that, Cao Ke looked around and saw that the entire room was covered with a layer of light golden paint, which made the lights in the room, under the reflection of these paints, geometric multiples, illuminating the room like daytime!
What made Cao Ke feel even more novel is that here, he did not feel any trace of moisture. Everything was so dry and comfortable, as if he was living in the mainland, away from the greasiness brought by water vapor!
In addition to these, the decorations in the room are also quite particular, which immediately reminds Cao Ke of the Juyi Hall on the Shuibo Liangshan! However, the feeling that Cao Ke gives him should be more luxurious than the Juyi Hall in Liangshan!
The chief of the sea clan came to the main seat and sat down. He raised his hand to signal to Cao Ke, letting Cao Ke sit above the first position on his left hand. This was the highest courtesy to the guests. Cao Ke understood in his heart, but did not refuse. He just smiled and nodded at the chief, and then sat down with a stern butt.
After Cao Ke sat down, Longnu, Changsun Ling, and the people from the sea clan took their seats one by one according to their identities.
In the short time when everyone sat down, the servants brought the tea and put it beside everyone. The sea clan seemed to think very thoughtful about everything Cao Ke should do...
"Master Ke..." The chief took a sip of tea and said to Cao Ke in a deep voice: "Originally, after a long journey, you came to my sea tribe. My sea tribe, no matter how you say you should let you go and have a rest first. However, the Sunset Kingdom is very tight. As the chief of the sea tribe, I am worried! I always want to solve the crisis here soon and let the people of my sea tribe return to peace! That's why I invited you here, Master Ke, to listen to your countermeasures and ideas for solving the crisis in my sea tribe!"
The chief's words were straight to the point! He directly told the core issue of Cao Ke's trip. This not only made Cao Ke slightly stunned, but even the dragon girl sitting opposite Cao Ke was completely unexpected. She looked at her father with a little surprise, wondering what he was selling in this gourd.
Cao Ke pondered for a moment before replying: "Grand Chief, shouldn't this countermeasure to solve the crisis of the sea clan? I, Cao Ke, after all, are just an ordinary young man. The reason why I came here to your sea clan was completely forced by the situation! It was your sea clan who said that I could help you resist the invasion of the Sunset Kingdom! It was also your sea clan who sent people to Wanghaicheng to invite me! It was not me who proposed to help you sea clan myself!... Now you asked me to come up with a countermeasure to solve this crisis... Is this a bit unreasonable for you?"
Before the chief was able to speak, the dragon girl said to him: "My father, Mr. Ke is right! This should not be done by him to solve the crisis! You should be very clear about all these? Why would you ask Master Ke such a question at the moment?"
"Xiao Jiu, don't be impatient!" The chief waved at the Dragon Girl and said solemnly: "Our entire sea clan knows that in your prophecy, Young Master Ke helped our sea clan repel the invasion of the Sunset Kingdom, so our sea clan would invite Young Master Ke to come here at all costs!... However, this does not mean that our Hai clan members will completely deliver their destiny to an outsider. We need to understand Young Master Ke's ideas and abilities to see if he has the ability to help our sea clan!"
"That's right!" As soon as the chief finished speaking, a sea clan man stood up, walked to the middle of everyone, and said loudly: "Sea girl, although you are a symbol of my sea clan's spiritual wisdom, this matter is of great importance after all, and we cannot be careless at all! If Mr. Cao Ke does not have that ability at all, then I would rather resist the Sunset Kingdom by myself, at least gain a reputation of loyalty and martyrdom! I would not be led by some ignorant people astray!"
Cao Ke looked at it and found that the Hai tribe was about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a gray-brown short dress, his eyes were extremely sharp, and his facial expression was even more ruthless.
He smiled completely distractedly. Cao Ke naturally stood up, ignored the rest of the sea clan, and just clasped his fists at the Dragon Girl and said, "It turns out that within the sea clan, not everyone is as Long Yi brothers said, looking forward to my arrival... Since that's the case, there is no need for us to continue to cooperate. Cao Ke, I am very grateful to Long Girl for your trust and support for me, but in the current situation... Haha, I'd better say goodbye!"
As he said that, Cao Ke pulled Changsun Ling, who was sitting beside him, and walked out of the room without looking back.
Seeing that Cao Ke was about to leave, how could Long Nu agree? He rushed forward two steps, grabbed Cao Ke's arm, and begged: "Please don't leave first, Master Ke!"
Cao Ke stopped and looked at Long Nu and said, "Miss Long told me not to leave. Should I give me a reason not to leave? You invited me, but your tribe members questioned my ability. Well, I admit that I can't get your sea tribe to fight against the invasion of the Sunset Kingdom. Isn't that okay? You don't have to test me anymore, and I don't have to fight for you anymore. Hello, I'm all, isn't the best result?"
After Cao Ke said this, Long Nu was speechless. Even she herself didn't know why the tribe members who always obeyed her own words and rarely raised objections were all in a dilemma with her. Cao Ke said so well that she invited someone but didn't believe her. How could she trust her?
But can I really let Cao Ke leave like this? Of course not! Dragon Girl is more clear than anyone else about her prophecy. In that prophecy, Cao Ke held a giant sword in his hand and forced His Majesty the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom to sign a peace agreement with her sea clan. Although there is no way to see the process, the result is what Dragon Girl needs most. Therefore, even if Dragon Girl is killed, she will not let Cao Ke leave at this time!
But facing Cao Ke, Long Nu really couldn't come up with any suitable reason to persuade him to stay. After thinking about it, Long Nu could only look at Cao Ke with a bitter face and begged: "Master Ke, even if... even if you give me a face... please stay! Help me!"
"Give you a face?" Cao Ke was stunned and did not immediately answer Long Nu's request.
Seeing Cao Ke's somewhat stunned look, the dragon girl said anxiously: "I know that in your heart, my face is indeed not worth much, but..."
Before the Dragon Girl finished speaking, Cao Ke raised his hand and stopped her from continuing. He only heard Cao Ke smiled, "Okay! I'll stay here for your Dragon Girl's sake, and help your sea clan resist the Sunset Kingdom!" As he said that, Cao Ke turned around, walked to his previous seat with great strides, and sat down naturally.
Faced with the sudden change in Cao Ke's attitude, Long Nu obviously did not have any mental preparation. He originally wanted to think of some more reason and persuaded Cao Ke to agree to stay, but found that Cao Ke had returned to his seat and sat down! This made Long Nu stay in place with disbelief, not knowing what was going on.
Changsun Ling, who walked back with Cao Ke, passed by Long Nu, had a deep smile on his face and whispered: "Sister Long Nu, you have to be careful. Cao Ke, it's not so easy for someone to agree to others..."
