CHINA, 665AD
The mighty Tang Dynasty...
The motherland whose security is my deepest concern
Luoyang...
My soul, my dreams are rooted here
In the year when I turned thirty...
I left my hometown and travelled more than 1,000 li to Luoyang
At that time, the court...
... was ruled by the emperor under the supervision of Empress Wu
They were know as "The Two Saints"
Empress Wu completely controlled the emperor
The nobles considered her power an affront
They often admonished the emperor
Then...
... when the Fuyu Kingdom challenged our border...
... as a precaution, Empress Wu...
... despatched a huge naval force from the capital...
... to counter the enemy
Her first thought was
to wrong-foot those against in court
Little did she know...
... that a weird crime...
... would have its origin here
Admiral! Moving our troops by night...
... may disturb the spirits
We have better placate them with prayers
Prayers when a great battle is looming?
No more of this effeminate superstition!
Yes, Sir!
Report! On the sea...
... a half-li away, there are movements
Alert the main warship! Yes, Sir!
Alert the main warship!
Our patrol ship...
... has sent us a warning
All ships on full alert!
Order all our sentinels
... to scan the sea for movements
On guard and full alert! All sentinels!
Watch for movements on the sea!
Report all sightings immediately!
It seems the enemy is out there...
And getting closer!
The ship is about to capsize!
Quick, grab it!
Steer away from the ship to starboard!
Quick!
Quick, grab it!
On our right side, our Horse Ship is being attacked!
Call for reinforcemens! Yes, Sir!
Call for reinforcemens!
Yes, Sir!
Rescue them from the water!
Guard against further attacks!
Yes, Sir!
Quick!
Order all ships afloat...
... to rescue the admiral!
Yes, Sir!
It's coming towards us!
Young Detective Dee
Rise of the Sea Dragon
The attack on the navy...
... was blamed on a "Sea Dragon"...
... supposedly disturbed by the warships
This rumor...
... made the city's anxious common people...
... panic even more
They pay handsomely for prayer rituals
The commoners put their own lives first
They don't care who else lives or dies
To placate the "Sea Dragon"...
... they've chosen a young woman for the rites
The streets are thronged with onlookers
The roads are blocked
I, Dee...
... have just come to...
... this strange and turbulent city of the gods
I must report for duty at the Da Lisi
They're not only blocking my way...
... but also that of an official from the Da Lisi
It looks as if he's on his way to investigate something
This young man in court robes of the Third Rank...
... will become my adversary
Both foe and friend
Notify Lord Yang...
Her Majesty will visit the dock...
... to investigate what happened
We must not make the slightest mistake
Our heads are at risk!
You go to the Naval Department...
Commandeer five metal ships
And 200 naval ratings
Deploy them before dusk. Search for clues on the spot!
Yes, Sir!
Come over here!
As you can see...
This is Luoyang, city of the gods
The place has no security
It'll be easy to kidnap the girl
But don't harm a hair on her head!
When we re-sell her...
... we'll get the best price
What does that fellow want?
Should we get rid of him?
Don't complicate things
Move!
Reporting to Your Majesty
The facts are these
Commoners dedicate rites to the Sea Dragon...
... because the city's merchants call for them
They wish to make quick money from selling joss sticks
So they urge the people to perform rites
do you know whose idea it was...
