Chapter 460 Undersea Dragon Palace
Chapter 460 Undersea Dragon Palace
Guishou patted his sleeves helplessly. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, it was that he really was unable to do anything.
He rolled back to his hometown - the bottom of the sea, holding a stack of storybooks.
Under the sea next to the Demon Realm is the Dragon Palace, which is where Gui Shou used to work, and his home is also in this sea.
The script was waterproofed, stuffed into a turtle shell and brought to the bottom of the sea.
Compared with those on land, the entertainment activities under the sea are pitifully few. It’s no wonder that he goes out more than 300 days a year, but this is just one of the reasons why Guishou resigned and traveled far away.
The more important reason is that the Dragon King is really stingy. He is always slow in cutting down on wages and wishes he could be ordered around by five people.
When Guishou was on duty, he did the work of ten people.
It’s not that the Dragon Palace has no money. On the contrary, the entire dragon clan is extremely rich. They build their houses magnificently, wear gold and silver, and wish they could hang a pearl on every eyelash.
They are extremely kind to themselves, but they are so picky about others that they would like to use the nose hairs under their noses to pay their wages.
Guishou's former boss was the one who wore a lot of jewels and jade, and then cried to him that as the Dragon King he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to send the Dragon Prince to school, so he couldn't pay him the five months' wages that were owed to him.
How about giving him an autograph from the Dragon King?
That night Guishou exploded. As the saying goes, a son pays for his father's debts. He snatched the pearl from the Dragon Prince's head and rolled away (literally rolled away). He rolled all the way out of the Dragon Palace, rolled ashore, pawned the jewels, and took the money to live a carefree life in the human world.
He thought he had resigned on his own initiative, but later he heard that it was the furious Prince Long who announced that he had been fired.
But it didn’t matter, except that after he left, the entire Dragon Palace became a mess.
The Dragon Prince, who had been pampered since childhood, had no idea that his layoffs had affected the Dragon Palace's main artery.
"Grandpa Guishou is back!"
"Help! Grandpa Guishou, help!"
"Grandpa Turtle, you are finally back. Please help me check. There are three cents missing from my account book. I have been looking through the bills of the Dragon Palace for three hundred years and I still can't find where the three cents are missing!"
"Grandpa Guishou, I haven't slept for three days. Do you know how much the Dragon King's autograph is worth in the mortal world? I asked the Dragon King for my wages, and he signed a few autographed photos for me."
As soon as Guishou stepped into the territory of the Dragon Palace, he was howled by someone who saw him, and people from all directions came over to him.
He looked at the man who asked about wages and saw dark circles under his eyes. It's really not easy to have dark circles under the eyes under the sea. Look how he exploited the child.
The carp spirit held four or five pieces of paper in its hands. On the paper was a picture of an abstract dragon, and below was a signature of a weird name.
Guishou didn't have the heart to tell the truth. This thing was worthless anywhere in the Three Realms. Only the old Dragon King felt that the things he drew and wrote with his own hands were worth a fortune.
No matter which tribe invited him, he would present his abstract paintings and autographs when he visited them.
This is probably because the mortal world has praised dragons too much. In addition, the dragon clan is a divine beast and has a place everywhere in the Three Realms, which leads to their increasing narcissism.
To them, slanderous words are bullshit and praiseful words are all truth.
According to Guishou, such people have never suffered any hardship. They have been wandering around the three realms for too long without ever falling and are unaware of the sufferings of the world.
"Old Turtle! You're finally back!"
Several mermaids swam over quickly from not far away. The habitat of the deep-sea mermaids was also located in the deep sea, very close to the Dragon Palace.
They used to come to Longgong often to chat with Guishou.
Because Guishou was the only one in the entire seabed who had frequent contact with the outside world (because his previous work included diplomacy), he was knowledgeable and willing to tell them what he had seen and heard in the form of stories.
What they most want to hear is still about the mortal world, probably because interesting stories and novel things all come from the mortal world, and even the Dragon Prince cannot avoid being attached to the worldly affairs.
The person in the entire Dragon Palace who is most familiar with the mortal world should be Guishou, because one of his previous jobs was to go to the mortal world to collect... flattery from the Dragon King's followers.
It is to collect all the ways they praise the Dragon King and the dragon clan, and compile them into a book. The old Dragon King reads it every night before going to bed.
A lot of people gathered in front of Guishou's house, some wanted to chat with him, and some wanted to ask about his work.
After he sent away those who were talking about work, he found that his friends who came to chat with him were reading his storybook.
But they couldn't read, "Old turtle, are these the stories you brought from the human world? Tell us quickly, what kind of beautiful love story is this one?"
I don’t know if it’s because the mermaids are a race that has been unworldly for so many years and are too naive, or if all of them carry the love-brain gene.
Or maybe Guishou had told them too many mortal love stories over the years, causing them, both men and women, to be extremely fascinated by love, even to the point of deifying this emotion, and to have special respect for mortals.
If the mermaids had not issued a ban prohibiting people from going ashore without reason and coming into contact with other races, these mermaids would have already gone ashore and settled down there.
But maybe it’s because we can’t see it that we have more fantasies.
Of course, Guishou would choose the good stories to tell, and the mortal world loves to sing the praises of love the most. Love can be found in poetry, songs, novels, and picture books.
They are even not satisfied with arranging the love of mortals, and have begun to arrange the love of fairies and spirits. No matter which fairy it is, they have to find a match for you, and they are even better at matching red strings than the matchmaker.
Guishou walked to the storybook, found the first volume and opened it directly to switch to listening and reading mode.
When the voice of the story came out, the surrounding mermen were stunned, and then their eyes widened.
The turtle lives a long and glorious life, but times have changed, you ignorant caveman.
In the past, I had to open my mouth and talk until my mouth was dry, but now I don’t need to do that anymore. It really is true that magic can change life.
At first, the mermaids were shocked that a book could speak automatically and wanted to take it and study it carefully. But after listening carefully, their attention was all focused on the novel story rather than the magical book.
"This story is completely different from what we have heard before! There are so many stories in the mortal world, and there are always new ones."
“Wait, this is a love story between a woman and three men???”
"Didn't the old turtle say that polygamy is allowed in the mortal world, and that one wife can have many husbands?"
"Love is one-on-one, right? How can one-on-three be considered love?"
"Hush, listen further. It says that the heroine will choose someone in the end and live happily ever after."
"Wow! This heroine is so amazing, she can actually climb three mountains in one night! She is so brave, she will definitely win the heart of her lover."
"What is she going to do? Go find her destined lover?"
"Oh my god, they are such a perfect match. It is true that only the power of love can give a weak little girl the courage to overcome numerous obstacles and come to him."
"I also want to have such a brave and determined lover. It would be great if the heroine liked me. Unfortunately, I am ugly and have a bad personality, so I am not worthy of her." A handsome guy with eight-pack abs, 1.9 meters tall, a high nose bridge, big eyes and a mixed-race face said inferiorly.
