Chapter 20 "Conversations before setting sail"
As the dawn wakes up, the newborn sun dispels the originally gray sky, and the entire sky slowly changes from turbidity to clear.
The Lota Valley Pier was full of vendors who were preparing to buy first-hand fish catches early in the morning. They all came here through an inland river not far away. In order to buy fresh ingredients, they basically set off at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, so that they could buy fresh fish catches from the fishermen at the beginning of the morning light and then transport the fish catches to the inland.
For example, the more precious snow trout has tender and smooth fish. Sashimi comes from the snow trout's body, which is a rare delicacy.
Especially after being processed by the noble chef, they are placed in exquisite silver dishes and served with lemon sauce for the castle owner who just woke up in the morning and are suitable for appetizing.
But today, there was a commotion from the dock. The fishermen who returned to the port in batches disappeared one after another. Only the goblin guards and the dog-headed guards, who were unique to the Lota Valley, stood at the dock. No one was allowed to approach. They came even earlier than this group of inland vendors.
Or in other words, they ordered the blockade of the place as soon as they received the order and notified all fishermen that they would suspend sailing today and that any ships would not be allowed to go to sea at this pier.
This is naturally an order given by Gotton to be safe. Of course, anyone who registers a job as a fisherman in Lotta Valley will receive subsidies for being unable to go to sea today, and will not let his subordinates suffer losses. After all, the money will eventually be counted on the head of Karan Hill, the princess of the Am Empire.
"Good morning, Mr. Gordon!"
Wake up on time from Ge Dun's arms and feeling the stroking of the thin scales on his head, Nina said hello in a panic.
Compared to the cool outside, the fusion hall still seems to be inside a stove. Ordinary people can't stay here for a minute. Even professionals may be a little troublesome to feel this heat wave. However, for Nina, who had already installed a layer of "environmental adaptation" spell, the current environment is very suitable.
With the help of spells, whether it is temperature or humidity, magic has helped her build a perfect and comfortable environment, even though this is the interior of the volcano that Yanglong hates the most.
"Get up quickly, Akassi is ready, and everyone else has already boarded the boat, so we are just a few of us."
"Ah, Mr. Gordon... Can I really go?"
Although Nina had already discussed with Gotton and wanted Gotton to take her to the Storm Islands for a real adventure to compensate Gotton for his regret of not being able to bring her on her previous journeys to the Astral Realm.
For this, Nina took a lot of effort to prove like Geunu that she has certain strength and will not drag her back.
This made Geton agree, but when the day really came, Nina was still a little out of defense.
"Of course, do you want to continue being your "Baron Gorton" here?"
Geden teased with a smile.
Nina dared not retort. She would just nod her head in a hurry now. However, she did not set off immediately, but got up first and quickly began to organize the things in the dimensional bag. After confirming that the things inside were correct, she smiled and said to Ge Dun.
"Mr. Got it, we can go!"
"Okay, don't be so excited. People who don't know think you haven't gone far."
Geden looked at Nina's excited look and suddenly felt a little regretful that he agreed to take her out.
But this time it is indeed a rare opportunity. It has a complete staffing, a metal dragon is escorted, and the legendary sword saint town. Finally, with its divine dragon, it is impossible to overturn the siege of the Dragon Witch Cult.
Not to be arguing against Tiamat...
Moreover, even if it fails, it is not without a trump card. In addition to using the ability of the fairy gift to let the mirage dragon come to help, there are also many spell scrolls that have spent a lot of money to acquire for self-defense.
Anyway, it wasn't the kind of person who cared about money, but Nina felt a little distressed, but when she thought of going out with Gotton, she would let her go.
Because she knew that neither her own nor its safety could be measured by money.
Although she is young, it does not mean that she does not understand this principle.
After all, the worst thing is that people die and the money is not spent?
She has watched many such human tragedies in Lota Valley, and she has a little insight.
Gorton and Nina were very fast. When they came out of the smelting hall and drove to the dock through the carriage, it was just bright. The originally blue sky had just revealed a wisp of blue silk. The sea was a little waved, accompanied by the wind on the sea, howling to the shore again and again.
Karanhill's fleet had already been anchored at the docks, and in the miles-long ports, they were particularly conspicuous in their size.
The largest bare bow of the boat is more than twenty meters above the ground and seven or eight floors high. Those ships specially used for ocean fishing look like small spots in front of it.
——"Immortal Princess!"
The black ship "Bao Wave" that once sailed out of the sea and killed the dragon turtle, finally obtained the treasure map from the nest, carrying the nobles, was anchored next to the "Immortal Princess" with a blue silver edge.
This is Karan Hill's car. In addition to these, there are three large ships such as the Blade.
"Hey, Lord Gorton, here!"
As soon as Gordon got off the carriage, a spiritual message came to Gordon's mind with direction, and the message of the Astral God's messenger Akashi.
It looked forward along the sensing and saw a round window in the trunk of the "Immortal Princess" where Akassi was standing there, smiling at them.
"Let's go!"
Geden was still in the form of a cat, directing Nina who was holding it forward, and boarding the ship was not blocked. It was obvious that she had already given instructions in advance.
When I got up the stairs and walked to the deck of the Princess, Gorton and Nina could already see the seafarers and sailors who were debugging the cables and preparing to pull the anchors were busy, and some were carrying buckets of prepared fresh water and fruit wine down.
After all, on sea routes, wine is the favorite of every sailor. If you want to quickly live the lack of entertainment, most people will be unable to avoid this sip of wine.
Although Geton didn't agree with it, it would not interfere in other people's ships at will. Therefore, after just a few glances, he withdrew his gaze, followed the guide in front and came to the cabin under the deck.
I have to say that when I walked under the deck, Geun understood what the aristocratic experience was. It can also be said that after material satisfaction, humans will achieve to meet their spiritual needs.
Well, the cabin under the deck, no, it is better to say that it is a castle somewhere, because both the interior and decoration are exactly the same as the castle on land.
The first is the oil painting hall of emperors of the Ammon Empire. On both sides, there seemed to be stone-textured walls, marble floor tiles, and lamps made of sterling silver were placed on the walls. The bright fire illuminated their way forward.
Following the circumferential staircase, they soon arrived at the destination, the conference hall specially used for meeting guests of the Princess. Those who were once invited by the Astral God Envoy and Akassi in the Fire Tavern were waiting for it.
This was also the arrangement of Karan Hill. When the princess knew that they had the same destination as her, she took the initiative to clear out a large cabin room, which was specially used to receive these "distinguished guests".
After all, there are many names in it. She has heard of them through various news channels, such as aristocratic dinners and art salon symposiums. They are all famous and well-known professionals.
Some of them, even in my father's mouth, have heard of them several times and praised them with praise.
The price of hiring them every time is really expensive - there is no doubt that it is a metal dragon...
"His Excellency Gorton!"
"Miss Nina."
After Goton and Nina pushed open the door, except for the legendary swordsman Leo who was concentrating on communicating with their disciples, everyone else was there, including the witch who had been covering her face and not showing her.
Most people live dragons. After seeing Ge Dun come, they naturally come forward to say hello. The warmth is unusual. Nina responds with a very obedient greeting, while Ge Dun nods lightly. After all, you can't expect a dragon that transforms into a cat to react.
"Since Lord Geun is here, let's start!"
At the end of the long table, Ekathy, who stood there, saw Goton and Nina sitting down, used his unique spiritual power to spread throughout the conference hall.
Then the huge conference hall was silent, and they looked at the starry envoy who was the leader and no longer concealed their wings.
Her wings were spread out enough to cover the gorgeous long table beneath her. I saw Akassy saying in a deep voice with her hands and wings spreading at the same time.
"I guess you all know where the destination is this time?"
"Yes, it's a pirate's nest occupied by cultists, the infamous foggy port."
"I have sorted out the messages there. Now I will transfer my memories into your mind through spiritual communication. After digesting them, we will start the first meeting before the war."
The God of the Astrology was familiar with this set. In a short while, everyone, including Gotton, received a message about the Mist Port.
"The Mist Port is located on the edge of the continent of Io, and is surrounded by the archipelago chains that stretch across the west coast. It is the most distant archipelago and the Storm Islands. It is born among the native island creatures, giants, ogres, lizard men, and snake men.
At that time, it was the early stage of the opening of the New World route. Pirates established their first stronghold on an island while hiding from a certain storm. As outsiders collapsed and clefted, more and more people knew about this location, and finally gradually evolved into a place to sell stolen goods.
As the gathering point prospers gradually emerged.
In this history, Mist Port was not truly ruled. It has always been controlled by several powerful pirates, and the most famous pirate king among them is…”
The memories transmitted by Ekathy are like popular science books. Even a three-year-old child can understand where he is going, its history and current situation in this way.
Judging from the separate explanation that Akassi could pull out a small alley in Mist Harbor, she obviously did her homework.
However, some people became strange, especially after seeing one of the Pirate Kings' names, those people couldn't help but look at Andy, the young man with the possession of the golden hair.
The Pirate King's last name is the same as Andy.
"Yes, she is my sister. I want to go back and save her now. She is now imprisoned in the "nest of that damn dragon!"
Andy's voice was very loud. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong desire to express himself. He first stepped forward and saluted slightly, telling Ekathy whether he could take up a few minutes. After getting affirmation, he replaced Ekathy's position and stood in front of the podium.
"Now, let me, the former pirate, tell you about Misty Harbor and the new owner of Misty Harbor. I will never forget that place in my dream!"
Andy said gritting his teeth, the quietness of the conference hall has built the best platform for it to talk.
Geden also looked at the boy who seemed to be expressing his heart in front of so many people for the first time, and began to sort out the situation of the Dragon Witch Sect based on the existing information.
When it was on Reka Island, it was dressed as a Bahamut's apostle, so most of the information was provided by the Dragon Witch Cultist who was killed by it. It did not know much about the situation in the Misty Harbor, but it was clear that under the influence of the Dragon Witch Cult, it originally belonged to several pirate kings.
The Misty Harbor controlled has now changed a new owner, and it is suspected to be a legendary dragon that can affect the surrounding environment.
Judging from the city in Mist Harbor, twisted vines and crooked branches popping out from the window, it is obvious that the owner behind the scenes is likely to be a green dragon.
Color dragon, known for its conspiracy and intrigue.
Judging from the fact that the Dragon Witch Cult can send it to collect magical tools that can crush and destroy the king planet, its status is definitely not low, and it may even be His face...
"So, what I want to say is that if we want to beat it head-on, it's better to lure it out, otherwise, according to my sister, it's almost immortal!"
Andy said with fear, and at the same time gestured with his hands to describe the terrifying and terrifying dragon.
The metal dragons and Gordon in the team were all surprised when listening to Andy's description, because the appearance of the giant dragon he described was similar to that of the green dragon, but not at all.
In addition to collecting various sculptures of enemy timbered by it, as well as creatures with beauty, just like other green dragons.
For example, the rugged head similar to the black dragon, only bones can be seen under the dragon's skin, shriveled scales, thin torso, and rotten aura emitted from the whole body.
Cooperate with the previous rumors of immortality.
Gordon and other dragons all came across a noun in their minds.
"Dragon Lich!"
