When Jianxiu came to the Western Fantasy Continent

When he set off again, Sarn still felt a little awkward, as if he was being scorched by the strong sunlight, and he was silent for a while even sitting on the flying sword—not that he had a lot to say to Hong Ming before, but the atmosphere It's a little weird.But Hong Ming was not aware of this situation, and still closed his eyes to rest or practiced his little spells.So Sarn didn't hear the question clearly when he asked it out of the blue.

"What did you say?" San raised his head in a daze, but was dazzled by the backlighting figure, and immediately lowered his head again.

"Have you heard of the tree of doom?" Hong Ming repeated the question again, "It's just..."

"It's the kind of tree with a lot of gemstones hanging on its branches, right?" Saen finally came back to his senses and said, "Of course I know, it's a commonly used decoration in the illusion department, what's wrong?"

"It's not an ornament, I mean the tree itself." Hong Ming corrected.

"The main body? Wasn't the tree of doom snatched by the green dragon hundreds of years ago?" Sarn is not very familiar with this legend. He once received a request to steal the tree of doom pendant made by a certain Dafa The task, he still understands this past event quite well. "After Duke Samir, the last owner of the Tree of Doom, was killed by the green dragon Nightmare, no one has seen this thing."

"Where is that green dragon now?"

"It has been missing for more than 500 years. The green dragon is a master of hiding. It is also good at intimidation and suggestion, and can manipulate dreams. If it is not exposed voluntarily, almost no one will find its whereabouts." San asked suspiciously, "Why do you suddenly want to find the tree of doom?"

"This thing is one of the fairy artifacts I'm looking for. It's called the Seven Treasure Glazed Branch. It's just..." Hong Ming pondered for a moment, "It's not something that brings bad luck. I don't know why this world sees it like this."

"So are we going to find it now?" Sarn shuddered at the thought of fighting a green dragon, and he didn't want to run to his death.

Hong Ming shook his head lightly, "Let's go to the Red Sea first, do you know anything strange about the Red Sea?"

"The Red Sea...it's too far away, and I don't know much about it. But after the cataclysm, the most famous people there are Haimin and Haisha, especially Haisha, which is very popular in Sanjiang City. A kind of fabric that noble people like most. It is very light and thin, with beautiful patterns, and it is also waterproof and heatproof, so it looks great in summer.”

"Haimin, Haisha..." Hong Ming stopped talking and returned to the state of deep meditation.

Sarn breathed a sigh of relief, now he feels a little better, and the rest is just getting used to it.Looking at the end of the continent far away in the sky, a glimmer of anticipation ignited in his heart.

Kari Island, Red Sea

This is the island farthest from the coastline, and it is also the island closest to the Maelstrom of Death, a forbidden area for navigation. Few ships dare to approach this sea area, even though it is rich in the best quality pearl mussels in the whole continent and petrochemicals dedicated to the top-grade water staff. Coral bushes.

But there is one thing that makes the desperadoes forget about all dangers and put all their wealth and lives on it, and that is the sea elves.

200 years ago, a captain who unfortunately ran aground on a hidden reef drove his boat to a nearby island, where he accidentally discovered a girl with amazing beauty.With slender limbs, skin with a light pink color, a nearly perfect, fairy-like face, and cheeks as light red as tears, coupled with a light sea gauze, she has a sense of beauty beyond the dust.Before that, humans had traded with sea people for hundreds of years, buying precious sea yarns, corals and pearls from them, but no one had ever seen the women of sea people, and the men of their family were the same as most human beings. There is not much difference, except that there are more gills for breathing in water and transparent toe webs on the hands and feet.

The captain was hit by Cupid's arrow in an instant, but the frightened girl didn't stay and jumped back into the sea.When he returned to the shore after all the hard work, the remorseful captain spread the love story of less than one minute as an anecdote.At first some people thought it was just a gimmick, but when the first sea-folk girl was captured, there was a sensation along the coast of the Red Sea. The captain was paid a staggering sum.Since then, hunting the "sea elves" has become a business opportunity that tests luck.However, since the girls of the sea people are very rare, and it is necessary to trade with the sea people, after a period of trade blockade, this kind of hunting and hunting by chance has become less, after all, not many people will do it. The benefit of foreseeing the result, giving up the benefit that has already been obtained.

However, for the Black Swordfish currently drifting in the Red Sea, this kind of hunting is not a chance.

A dark and bearded man came to the rudder of the ship. Years of sea trade business had made his skin rough and his body strong. A long knife mark passed through the bridge of his nose and extended to the corner of his mouth, making his expression very ferocious.Patting the tauren at the helm beside him, he asked loudly.

"How many days will it take to return to the ground?"

"Less than three days, Captain." The tauren showed a rough smile. In this sea area, they are the best crew and helmsman. There are even some fleets composed entirely of tauren. On the contrary, the human caravan Only with a tauren navigator can you escape those terrifying reefs and ocean currents.But this tauren is obviously not as simple as a navigator.

"Ha, well done." The captain parted his mouth excitedly, making the scar even uglier. "After our goods are sold, we can take a good rest for the first half of the year."

"Will she survive?" the tauren winked at the cabin, "I was not so careful when I caught her. If the wound on her back continues to deteriorate, she will probably die."

"Don't worry, she will be able to go ashore in three days. I will find someone to treat her. After all, having scars will affect sales."

"Haha, that's right. The last time we caught a sea elf was 50 years ago, and our luck is really good."

"Yeah..." With a secretive smile, the bearded man also turned his head to look at the cabin, "Isn't it, luck is not bad."

In the dark cabin, a secret door covered the bottom cabin, surrounded by up to three layers of protection and confinement spells, no one could easily find out what was going on at the bottom of the boat.A mage in black robe was standing vigilantly in the cabin, keeping an eye on the movements around him. As long as they didn't step out of the Red Sea, they would still be within the attack range of the sea people, and it couldn't be called safe here.After three hours, he will hand over to another mage, and then he will be able to relax.

A small sound came from under his feet, but he didn't pay attention to it. The sound had been going on for three days. As long as there was any movement, it would prove that the goods were safe, and it was good news.He loosened the tightly gripped staff in his hand, and only had to wait another three hours...

In the bottom compartment, a small and pink hand protruded from the bottom of the water, scratching at the locked wooden door above, and bright red blood had already seeped from the gap between the fingers, dripping on the transparent film between the fingers.A tiny voice called softly, over and over.

"Help... someone help me..."

&&&&&&&&

After flying for more than ten days, the long coastline finally appeared in front of the two of them.The recent days have been really awkward, as if he lost interest in the town again, Hong Ming started to sleep in the wilderness again, which almost drove Sann crazy, until he flew over the rolling hills, when the coast appeared In front of his eyes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hong Ming, it's time for us to enter the city today." Sarn unconsciously brought a little expectation, "This is already under the jurisdiction of the Miris Federation, and there will be more and more non-human species. We are safe here." Extremely."

Hong Ming glanced at him lightly, as if he noticed the longing in his eyes, finally nodded, and pointed to a big city in front of him, "It's nice there."

This city looks really big, it is probably an important offshore trade center, this kind of place is the best for him.Sann pulled a grin. "It looks great in there."

Wow, that looks amazing.When he set foot on the bustling city again, San took a satisfied breath of the air mixed with filth, sea smell and human smoke.If there's anything on the surface that he can't put down, it's definitely one of them.But when he turned his head to look at Hong Ming, he almost laughed out loud, and saw that the adult frowned slightly, and was looking at the scene in the city with some confusion.

"Aren't you used to it?"

Looking away from a jackal, Hong Ming coughed lightly, "There are a lot of humanoid monsters here, I've never seen anything like this before."

"Ha, but they are all orcs, as well as dwarves and gnomes, no different from other intelligent creatures. It seems that this is also a neutral city..." Suddenly, Sarn's pointed ears trembled slightly, and he turned his head to the side look.

Following his line of sight, Hong Ming looked over.I saw a man sitting on the side of the street not far away, wearing a slightly worn-out robe, with a big brim covering his face, looking weather-beaten.He was holding a long musical instrument in his hand - like a pipa, and he was sitting leisurely on the street playing and singing.The sound of the piano is melodious and pleasant, with a joyful mood.

Hong Ming looked at Sa En's focused expression, and asked with his mouth open, "Do you like this song?"

"Good playing." Sarn narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile crossed the corner of his mouth. "I'm a dark elf, and to me, most of the pieces are pretty good."

Hong Ming was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what he meant, and just when he was about to say something more, a green bird suddenly flew in front of him, chirping like a lark, and fluttering around him.After a while, Hong Ming finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, let the little bird that was trying to please him land on his fingertips, stroked its neck feathers gently, and let the bird peck his fingers affectionately, Hong Ming couldn't help showing a slight smile.

At this time, the sound of the piano stopped.The man on the street walked towards the two of them slowly, stretched out his hand and took off the wide hat on his head, and saluted Hong Ming gracefully.

"This little thing discovered your beauty earlier than I did, beautiful lady, can you allow me to present a song for you?"

He raised his head, his light green eyes filled with a warm smile.

The author has something to say:

The poet plays the Lute

The prototype of this guitar had a pear-shaped bowl-shaped body and a distinctive curved handle with frets on it.Four to eight strings run from the base of the body to the end of the handle.The length of a lute is between 30 and 36 inches, with the body accounting for about two-thirds of the total length.A musician plucks the strings to produce sound.

This is a very versatile violin because of its wide range and rich modulations.For beginners, the lute is easy to learn, and in the hands of a master, it can also produce a natural sound.The bowl-shaped body gives it a full, thick sound, not thin like other stringed instruments.This is one of the most popular instruments among bards, especially among half-elves and humans.

Bardic Traits: The lute, one of the bard's three musical instruments, allows the performer to use one ability while maintaining the influence of another bardic or performer power.This allows bards to use "Boost" on one subject while using "Suggestion" on another.
