“Messenger?”Zhang Chu blinked and looked at the court full of civil servants with an odd heart.
How could he not expect that after he had revealed his Great Sword of Treasure, these people were not only unafraid, but instead, they treated themselves as saviours.
Thus, Zhang Chu looked at the Queen, “Queen, what do you mean by this?”
At this moment, the Water Burial Queen said, “Messenger, a hundred years ago, in our Water Burial lineage, there was once a very powerful sorceress.”
“When that sorceress was on her deathbed, she consumed all of her life force and deduced a prophecy for our Water Burial lineage.”
“The prophecy said that if one day, there was an alien man with light coming out of his head and a lightsaber stabbing through the royal palace, then that man, would be able to bring hope to our Water Burial Clan.”
Zhang Chu looked odd, “Consuming all of your life force on your deathbed, is that serious?”
The Water Burial Queen looked at Zhang Chu with wide eyes and nodded her head vigorously, “Seriously!”
The Queen then explained, “That witch said that any time in her life that she forcibly extrapolated the future, she would be backfired and die.”
“That’s why that sorceress made her deduction when she felt that her life was about to end.”
Zhang Chu couldn’t help but give that sorceress a thumbs up, look at them, they didn’t waste any of their lives.
In fact, if they had forced Zhang Chu to stay Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu wouldn’t have been able to get angry directly, and with a sweep of his lightsaber, he would have opened the road on the spot.
But now, the Queen and the girls used this kind of reason, hoping that Zhang Chu would stay and help, Zhang Chu really sympathised with them a little.
However, Zhang Chu still said, “Your Majesty, I can help you see what is going on in your world.”
“However, you cannot hinder us from leaving.”
The Queen hurriedly said, “Please rest assured, Emissary, as long as you help us solve the problem of the Water Burial Lineage, I will definitely allow the Emissary to leave.”
“What the hell do I owe you???”Zhang Chu was speechless.
Still letting me go as long as I help you guys solve it, making it seem as if I’m going to negotiate with you.
Besides, you didn’t give any money either.
As for the Queen, once she took a look at Zhang Chu like this, she instantly realised that she had said the wrong thing, and she hurriedly said, “Emissary, our Sorceress also said that you will receive unexpected benefits as long as you help us solve the problem.”
“If the benefits are women, I advise you not to mention it.”Zhang Chu said.
The Queen spoke, “We also don’t know what that benefit is because that witch back then didn’t say.”
“Alright.”Zhang Chu casually said, “I can stay at your place for three more days at most.”
“After three days, regardless of whether or not I have found the root of the problem, I will have to leave.”
The Queen’s complexion changed, “Ah? This …… is not good.”
Zhang Chu immediately made a stern face, “Not good? Then I will leave now, can any of you stop me?”
The Queen hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, three days is three days.”
Zhang Chu continued, “Also, today, you immediately send someone out to report a message to my people.”
“I reckon that if I don’t show up again, my companions outside are going to go crazy with anxiety.”Zhang Chu said.
The Queen hurriedly said, “Alright, I’ll arrange it right away.”
“Bring back a letter, don’t think of fooling me.”Zhang Chu said.
The Queen nodded, “Don’t worry, Messenger, our Water Burial lineage is very trustworthy and will do what we say, we will definitely not fool you.”
At this moment, Zhang Chu nodded his head and looked at a few others, “Also, these few brothers of mine, they have been hobbled by you guys in the past few days, in the next few days, we will need separate quarters.”
“No random women can disturb.”
The Queen hurriedly said, “Alright!”
At this time, Zhang Chu said, “Find a few people who are familiar with the history of your Water Burial World, as well as people who have a complete grasp of the geography of your Water Burial Lineage, I want to understand your Water Burial Lineage as a whole.”
“Only by completely understanding you guys can we possibly help.”
Upon hearing Zhang Chu say that, the Queen was instantly delighted.
She was afraid that Zhang Chu would be dry-eyed and without any opinion, not knowing what to do.
Now that she saw Zhang Chu thinking clearly, she was immediately impressed in her heart.
At this time, the Queen looked towards an old woman in her fifties and spoke, “Stygian Soup, during this period of time, you will accompany the emissary with me to resolve the matters of our Water Burial World.”
“Yes!”An old woman from Underworld Soup stepped out and agreed.
Next, the Queen gave Zhang Chu and the others specialised accommodation within the royal palace.
Moreover, the Queen prepared Zhang Chu’s several people with the hemp clothes of their world, finally allowing Zhang Chu and the others to bid farewell to the Tree Leaf Era.
To be honest, after staying in the Water Burial World for such a long time, the fact that Zhang Chu’s few people had only changed into clothes that they could wear in the past few days showed that Hei Hui and her few henchmen were really dogs.
Lei Bufan and the few of them didn’t know Feng Shui physiognomy, so they stayed within the royal palace to rest.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, along with Hei Tang, came to a council room within the royal palace, and at this moment, the Queen was already waiting, and Tang Jiu was also accompanying the Queen.
At this time, Zhang Chu opened his mouth and said, “Let’s first talk about the specifics of your world.”
“What does the emissary want to know?”The Queen asked.
Zhang Chu said, “First, your world, from when did you enter the underwater world.”
“Second, did you all start out with the male population withering away from the very beginning, or did you start with the male population withering away after living for some time.”
“Of course, besides these two points, if you guys think something is wrong, you can also all tell me.”
Stygian Soup thought for a moment before replying, “Messenger, the underwater world has no sun or moon, and our method of keeping track of the year has long since become ineffective.”
“Therefore, I can’t say exactly how long we have been in this underwater world.”
“In fact, most of our Water Burial Lineage’s people do not even know that we are actually living in an underwater world.”
Zhang Chu nodded his head, to the ordinary subjects of this world, they probably hadn’t seen much water since they were young.
Because the entrance from this world to the outside world was so small, it was expected that very few people would be able to discover it.
At this time, Hades Soup added, “But one thing is for sure, our clan, when we just entered the underwater world, was still normal.”
“Even, in our ritual records, there are still portraits from that time.”
“Back then, the king was a man, and the main force of the dynasty, was also a man.”
“Women didn’t even have the right to participate in the rituals.”
“It was only later, when the male population gradually withered away, our world, only then did it become what it is now.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu instantly asked, “How long have the men been predominant?”
Underworld Soup flipped through a thick book test, carefully consulting it.
After a long while, Hei Tang was speaking, “Since the Water Burial lineage started the country, in the beginning, for thirty-three consecutive terms, it was men who were the kings.”
“Later, between the thirty-fourth and sixty-fifth terms, there were a few times when a male king appeared.”
“And then, there were none at all.”
Zhang Chu asked again, “Then, during the time when men were the masters, could the men cultivate?”
“Yes!”The Queen said with certainty, “Moreover, in our royal palace, we still keep gong methods that only men can cultivate.”
Hades Soup, on the other hand, said, “That’s right, it’s just that we don’t know what happened, and the men gradually couldn’t cultivate.”
Zhang Chu drifted off, “That is to say, the Water Burial lineage, there was no imbalance between men and women in the beginning, and it was later on that all of this happened.”
“Right!”
Immediately after the king explained, “In our Water Burial lineage, we have also had some geomancers who could deduce the past and future, but it was hard for them to say why.”
“It’s just that some people said that it might be because our clan has been living underground for a long time, and being near the Great Tomb, the Yin Qi is too heavy, therefore, it’s like this.”
Zhang Chu’s heart was clear, these, mostly guesses, might have had an impact, but how to solve it, they had no solution.
Zhang Chu understood a general idea, before he opened his mouth and asked, “I heard that in your world, there are just as many newly born male and female children?”
“Yes, there are almost equally as many, it’s just that, male children rarely live past the age of three.”
Upon hearing that, Zhang Chu immediately said, “Take me to see some male children, the kind that are about to die young.”
“Good!”The Queen agreed and the few people left the palace together.
