chapter22 Silver Tide City

May I ask, Miss Magic?" At this time, Captain Cook's voice came from behind Liuli, "'The successor of the holy sword'...are you a warrior?"

"It's just by chance that I got the recognition of this holy sword that originally belonged to the grassland people, Captain Cook." Liuli took out the short scimitar that was just right for her body and dark red beads and tears, and continued, "So it should be too early to call me a warrior."

"Please don't belittle yourself, the successor chosen by the Holy Sword." said the great man from the grassland man, "That day, in the sacred duel, you have let everyone see that you have the qualification to have the Holy Sword."

"What a strange knife. If it is so small, only children can use it, right?" Captain Cook looked at the dark red bead tears in Liuli's hand and said, "However, the shape of the knife is really good. If it is slightly enlarged, it should be a good weapon."

"Ship Captain, the significance of the Holy Sword is not his own power, but his ability to record all the users' martial arts and pass them on to the successors he chose. Moreover, each successor of the Holy Sword will create his own unique martial arts - not only limited to sword techniques, but any other weapon or even the martial arts that fight with bare hands may exist in the memory of the Holy Sword."

"Oh, it turns out that there is such a function." Captain Cook said, "then this holy knife will indeed be something that warriors dream of. Miss Magic, I hope to talk to you about something, can I move to the captain's room with me?"

"Okay, Captain Cook. And, thank you, gentleman." Liuli nodded, thanked the seaman who led her around the boat, and then said to Nero who had already flown to the watchtower, "Nini, it's time to leave~"

"Oh~" Hearing Liuli's voice, Nero immediately flew back to Liuli's shoulder, "Beibei, there is water everywhere here~"

“The sea is very vast~”

Is a "captain" who has a high-level magician as his deputy... and the flashy artillery rewarded by the Grand Duke of the Leding Kingdom... I can probably guess, Captain Cook, you want to discuss something with me. However, I have never been to that mountain before, and after knowing the "destiny of the world", before the gods and demons completely disappeared, and the world's causal line was completely Emperor Wen, the fewer things that I, the "outsider", should be directly involved in... However, if the kingdom in the mountains is allowed to be consumed in this way, it would not be a good thing, right? Maybe, I should think of other ways? What kind of power can help in this matter?

Following Captain Cook, Liuli thought silently in her heart.

－－－－－－－－－

When I arrived at the captain's room, the magician named Longgan was already waiting there.

Seeing Liuli's arrival, the magician performed a mage ceremony dedicated to ordinary magicians to great magicians.

"Hello, dear Miss Magi."

"I am just a high-level magician now, Mr. Longgan." Liuli said after returning the gift.

"Yes, I get it, Miss Magic."

"Please sit, Miss Magic."

The captain's interior is of course more luxurious than the guest room, and even the seats are laid with luxurious fur.

On the small table next to the chair, fruits that are never common in the vast sea were prepared, although they were pickled first - in this era, no ship could really bring fresh fruits and vegetables - these are enough to show Captain Cook and the magician attached importance to Liuli.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Miss Magician." Captain Cook sat on his captain's seat and said to Liuli, "I believe that a magician as powerful as you have probably guessed what I want to say. Then, I will speak straight forward. Miss Magician, may you be willing to help our Leding Kingdom to calm the chaotic situation in the mountains so that the people there can live a peaceful life? I believe that with your strength, you will surely minimize the harm suffered by the people in this war."

"Indeed, if I use my power, I can end the war quickly." Liuli said, "But, I'm sorry, Captain Cook, for some reason, I can't use my own power in this matter. I shouldn't even be involved in this matter."

"This...why is this? Miss Magician. Can you tell me why you are unwilling to help us?" Captain Cook felt very surprised after hearing Liuli's words.

Such a strange way of rejection… “You shouldn’t even be involved”…

"It's not that 'not willing', but 'not', Captain Cook." Liuli continued, "I have many questions myself. Before I find the answer, my power cannot be used at will."

What if the correct history is that the Leding Kingdom where Captain Cook is located is annexed by other kingdoms? Therefore, I must go and see it with my own eyes before I can make a judgment.

"But if the Kingdom of Leding is indeed worthy of help, I will provide you with the strength you need." Liuli said, "In any case, the meaningless war among the mountains is indeed at the end."

Do we need to strengthen humanity's own strength? Then, the power of humanity should not be wasted in such meaningless wars, right? Although there is also a saying that war can promote human progress... However, I think that when the unified mountain kingdom faces the powerful Kaochi Kingdom, it will make greater progress than it is now. In addition, in terms of power, those elves, even if they have already declined, still have the power to completely destroy the mountains. However, the power of the elves needs to be won by yourself.

After hearing Liuli's words, Captain Cook and the magician looked at each other. At least, Liuli's words had such a meaning, "If the Kingdom of Leding is not worthy of help, she might help Leding's enemies."

"I believe that the Kingdom of Leding will not disappoint you, Miss Magician." Captain Cook said in a firm tone.

"Then, I will look forward to it, Mr. Captain." Liuli said, "Then, I still want to go outside to blow the sea breeze, so I will say goodbye first."

After saying that, Liuli stood up and left the captain's room.

"Huh~ Just now, the pressure that the magician lady put on me was really great." After Liuli walked out, Captain Cook spoke to the magician, "Okay, now my mission has been basically completed. The rest should be a headache for the grand duke. However, in fact, we didn't say a few words, why do we feel more tired than fighting the pirates in Fertilan?"

"But our great master has never disappointed us, hasn't we?" The magician gave himself a glass of wine, took a big sip, and continued, "For Leding!"

"Yeah, for Leding!" Captain Cook also raised the glass of wine he had poured before he sat down.

On the other side, I just left the cabin and came to the glaze on the deck again.

"Captain Cook and Mr. Longgan, are you so confident in your 'Grand Duke'? I hope that this 'Grand Duke' will be someone worthy of my help." Liuli murmured in a low voice, not heard by anyone.

At this time, the entire Black Pearl ship had been illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun. The fishing seamen happened to catch a fat sea snake dragon. The seamen cheered for the upcoming blessings and for the crew's superb fishing skills.

After passing several small ports and doing some business, on the 19th day after Liuli arrived on the Black Pearl, the Black Pearl finally reached the end of the trip, Silver Tide City, the largest harbor city in the Leding Kingdom.

The port of Yinchao City is indeed worthy of the praise the seafarers have praised when introducing Liuli these days.

The lighthouse towering outside the port is about one hundred meters high, and the huge base also covers the small peninsula that stretches out from the port. There are huge reliefs of the sea god on the wall of the lighthouse. It is said that in the square below the lighthouse, there is a place for the sacred sea god festival. The selected "Daughter of the Sea" will be given the qualification to light the sacred flame on the lighthouse with your own hands. Moreover, even during the Sea God Festival, countless artists will gather in Silver Tide City to show the world their talents.

The excellent harbor and geographical location of Silver Tide City, coupled with the rich products in the mountains, especially the Podor wines produced only in the Leding Kingdom, have attracted many merchants from the Montita grassland in the north, the Kaochi Kingdom and the Fertilan Kingdom in the south, the coastline of the Sophine Kingdom is in the south, so it is rare that Sophine merchants will come here directly. In addition, the good policies of Leding Lord have made Silver Tide City a free and vibrant city.

Walking off the Black Pearl, the busy scene of the port came into view. Piles of good ore were waiting to be packed, and those that were packed in exquisite small boxes and treated with caution must be the wines specialized in the mountains. Liuli just knew that the wine used by Aimeras to entertain him was the most famous Podor wine in Leding.

The closest place to the port area is the most prosperous commercial center in Yinchao City. The shouts of vendors and the sounds of price reductions from shop owners and customers are heard one after another. Sometimes, there are also bards who play various musical instruments while singing various heroic stories passing by Liuli.

"Indeed, this is a very dynamic city."

He explained to Captain Cook that he would use his eyes to confirm the glaze of Silver Tide City and the Leding Kingdom, and embarked on his journey among the mountains.
