White Dragon Lord

Edie was wearing a fur coat, sitting on a cart full of goods, and looked back at the city of Red River, which was getting farther and farther. The road also gradually became potholed, and the bumps made Edie's butt panic.

My friend, how do you feel about leaving the castle?

Edie heard the friend behind him, Milne Green, who was half concerned and half ridiculed, scratching his curly hair in distress.

Honestly, it doesn't feel good.

After finishing speaking, Edie pointed to the herbal goods under his buttocks. The herbs that the Green family hoarded in the early summer had already become as hard as branches under the summer sun, and they also gave off an unpleasant medicinal smell.

If you imagine yourself sitting on a pile of gold coins, you feel very different.

The two looked at each other and laughed. These special herbs produced by Horn Kingdom in summer can be sold for nearly twice the price in winter when everything is quiet. If the herbs are shipped to the neighboring country, the Kingdom of Paphoran, the price will increase more than tenfold.

This is Milne's way of making money.

Seriously, Milne, how about going to the overseas archipelago with me? With your brain and my strength, sooner or later, you will be able to make a career out of it.

Hearing this, Milne hesitated. Edie's proposal was very tempting, but going to an unfamiliar environment to work hard was far less comfortable than the family-run Red River City for decades. Moreover, the most important thing was that the Outer Sea Islands were a different kind of territory.

My friend, the overseas archipelago is full of monsters like ogres and gnolls. When I think of living in the same city as these monsters, I...

Milne shrugged.

You know, I'm worried that I'll be a bone in the pot once I sleep.

Milne looked around the caravan. The caravan spent a lot of money to hire those mercenaries that smelled of alcohol and stench. After entering the wilderness, they showed their due professional qualities. Their calloused hands were always in the dark. Around the hilt of the sword, sharp eyes are always alert to the withered grass on both sides of the road.

The wilds of Nordhill are not peaceful.

The radiation circle around the urban civilization is good to say, the city's rulers organize manpower every year to cruise around the city to clean up these monsters that seem to emerge from the soil.

Once far from the city,

Then you have to rely on the sharp sword in your hand, or the protection of the goddess of luck. If the sword in your hand is not sharp enough, or is favored by the goddess of bad luck, it is very likely that it will become a pile of indescribable pickled things the next day. .

Edie nodded, understanding Milne's thoughts.

My dear friend, your worries are correct, but according to what my father told me, the overseas islands are a place of order, where monsters don't eat people, emmm..., how can I explain it to you?

Edie frowned and thought for a moment, then said.

For example, in Cassos, a city where humans and monsters live together, let alone cannibalism, there is no urination in the streets, not only in the noble district, but in the entire city.

impossible!

Milne was slightly taken aback.

Even the human city of Honghe City cannot avoid those drunkards and poor people excreting in the streets.

If someone else said this sentence, Milne would definitely sneer, but this sentence came from Edie Campbell's mouth, so Milne had to think about it carefully.

Edie's full name is Edie Campbell, he is the second son of Viscount Campbell of Red River City, and Viscount Campbell is one of the highest-ranking people in Red River City. The circle is not comparable to this commoner of Milne.

Moreover, Milne knew that his friend from childhood to adulthood would not lie in the name of his beloved father.

Seeing that Milne was still hesitating, Edie said.

It's true, and my father's news came from the Duke of Uldum. The Duke of Uldum's family has trade relations with the Overseas Islands, and I heard that they have their own shops in Sokas.

Hearing this, Milne's eyes shone brightly. The Duke of Uldum is the top noble of Horn Kingdom. If this news came from him, it would be highly credible.

Well, I'll have to think about it...

Edie nodded. After all, Milne is not himself. Edie has an excellent brother who is destined to inherit his father's title, while Milne was born in a wealthy businessman's family in Red River City. Although he also has two brothers, Milne is equally good. If you work hard, you will have the opportunity to inherit the family business.

In this way, Edie Campbell, the second son of the noble of Red River City, took a friend to the caravan of the Kingdom of Paphoran and started his own trip to the overseas archipelago.

...

A month later, friends Edie Campbell and Milne Green from the Horn Kingdom arrived at Victoria Harbour in the Paphran Kingdom.

Milne Green couldn't resist the temptation to make a fortune in a newly opened area. After the goods were processed in the Kingdom of Pavlan, he sent the caravan's steward back by himself, and he brought the money and came to Victoria with his friends. port.

They will start their fortunes by taking ships from Victoria Harbour to the overseas islands.

In the early morning, the sun shines through the white clouds on the ancient houses of the thousand-year-old city of Victoria Harbour, awakening the sleeping people. Most of them will repeat the experience of yesterday, while a few will embark on an unfamiliar journey.

The second son of the nobleman, Edie, walked out of the tavern where he stayed, stretched out under the rays of the rising sun, and the two sheathed long swords hanging on the belt collided, making a crisp sound of metal colliding.

The breath of the sea, which was carried by the moist sea breeze, poured into Edie's nose, making Edie's drowsy brain a little more awake.

Thinking of stepping on the boat today, Edie had some insomnia last night.

Oh~, @#￥%...\u0026amp;*! This tavern owner is a vampire! He only asked us 5 silver coins after staying for three days!

Behind Edie, his businessman friend walked out of the tavern cursing, and Edie couldn't help but stunned when he heard the cost of the two of them for the past three days.

The countries of Nordhill use the same currency minting standard, 1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 1000 copper coins.

In Honghe City, 5 silver coins are enough to make the average civilian family live happily for half a month, but in Victoria Harbour, they can only live for three days, and it is also based on the situation that neither of them have a big meal.

But it wasn't his money anyway, Edie smiled and comforted.

Stop complaining, it would be nice to find a place to live.

Before coming to Victoria Harbour, the two secretly thought they were the fastest group of people, but they didn't expect too many people to have the same idea as them.

In Victoria Harbour, people heading to the overseas islands were so overwhelmed that they could only buy tickets for three days later and had to be ripped off by pub owners.

It's too expensive? Go out! There are a lot of people lining up.

Milne remembered the look of the tavern owner three days ago, wishing to punch him in the flat nose, and he rolled his eyes when he heard the consolation of his friend with laughter.

Oh~, it's not your money anyway, is it?!

Hee hee hee, yes, I didn't expect that I was disguised so well, and you still found me.

Milne looked at Edie with a hippy smile and suddenly felt that he wanted to punch him.

Forget it, can't beat it.

Milne glanced at the two long swords on Edie's waist. Seven days ago, these two swords cut off the head of a gnoll and saved his life.

Because of this, he took the initiative to bear the cost of these days.

After some frolic, the two casually bought some breakfast on the street and hurried to the port. The pub they stayed in was a little far from the port, and they were fortunate to be a little far away from the port, so that they would not find a place to live on the street.

The two walked quickly across the muddy streets and came to the famous Victoria Harbour, where they saw a brand-new huge three-masted sailboat in the distance.

Seeing the blue-bottomed four-dragon-ring flag flying on the boat, the two knew that their target had been found.

There was already a long queue in front of the boat, and the two quickly stepped forward and lined up behind the crowd. When it was their turn, the two handed over two tickets that smelled of ink.

The sturdy human sailor compared the number on the ticket with the name of the ship written on the ticket, and let the two get on the boat.

Seeing the large characters on the boat, Milne couldn't help but read them out.

Sea Wolf.

Through the planks on the side of the ship, the two walked onto the deck of the Sea Wolf.

Milne suddenly saw the terrifying figure with the captain's hat beside the rudder, and understood why the ship was called the Sea Wolf.

Because the captain of this ship is a gnoll!

Milne remembered the feeling of being sprayed with the stench of blood, and couldn't help shivering.

Edie was also attracted by the tall voice. Compared with the two wild gnolls he killed a few days ago, the gnoll in front of him was much more majestic and mighty. The hair that stands like a steel needle can't hide the outline of the strong muscles under the hair, giving people a feeling of real oppression.

There was a gleaming machete on the belt around its waist, but looking at the sharp minions, Edie felt that this gnoll might not need a machete to deal with him.

Edie couldn't help sighing in his heart, he killed the two gnolls by himself, compared to the one in front of him, he could only be called a gnoll.

But fortunately, Edie was not worried that the captain would attack him. The gnoll captain was sitting on the side of the ship, bragging with several sailors holding wine bottles. There were aliens and humans in the sailors. Around them, there were also surrounding With several people in different clothes, Edie judged that these were passengers, just like him.

Due to the distance and the peculiar accent of the gnoll captain's common language, Edie couldn't hear what they were saying, and only heard a few words such as Kumlinge and demonized beast. A gnoll is telling the story of his battle with a demonic beast.

Edie couldn't help being curious and walked towards the crowd.

Edie?!

It's okay! Come and have a look, you can also learn about the overseas islands in advance.

Seeing his companion walking past, Milne bit the bullet and followed.

The addition of the two newcomers did not attract the attention of the onlookers. The gnoll captain glanced at the two at random and continued to tell his story.

Sure enough, what the gnoll captain told was that it followed the white dragon lord to open up the wasteland of Kumlinge's battle experience.

Suddenly, the gnoll captain, who was drinking a little bit, threw the empty wine bottle back in his hand and jumped off the side of the boat, startling everyone who was fascinated.

Afterwards, the gnoll captain ripped open his light blue vest, revealing a sturdy chest with hair, the heart of the sturdy chest, and the abdominal muscles of the abdomen, with four thick pink scars sloping downwards.

Wow!

The crowd couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying scars. Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they could imagine how terrifying the size of an animal that could cause such thick scratches.

The crowd's astonishment greatly satisfied the vanity of the gnoll captain, who patted his chest triumphantly.

Did you see it! This is the 5-meter-long enchanted lion's memorial to Lao Tzu, and it almost killed Lao Tzu! Hiccup~, but luckily, Lord Gulgaru was present, and it exploded with a single stick. The lion's head, hiccup~, but I also stabbed it hard.

The gnoll captain did not forget to brag about his exploits.

A spectator raised a question, and the gnoll captain's already loud voice increased a bit.

Ah! You ask me who Lord Gul'garu is?! You idiot! Hiccup~, Lord Gul'garu, the head of the Skull Smash Ogre, doesn't even know?!

What! You are from the most western part of the continent! Well, I forgive you, after all, you have crossed the entire continent, hiccup~, Lord Gulgaru is a rare double-headed ogre! Powerful assistant, if you are fortunate enough to see it, you will definitely be impressed by its majestic figure.

Listening to the inexplicable admiration in the slightly drunken voice of the gnoll captain, everyone couldn't help but be curious about the Lord Gulgaru in his mouth. After all, it can make a thirteenth-level high-level warrior admire The man who, oh no, is an ogre, must be extraordinary.

At this moment, a murloc sailor came over.

Captain! Time is up! Time to sail!

What?! It's so fast! Damn it! The old problem of bragging when you drink alcohol has been made again, delaying the business.

The gnoll captain smacked his groggy head in annoyance.

My head is a little uncomfortable, let the second deputy take over my position, hiccup~.

After instructing the murloc sailor to inform the second mate, the gnoll waved to his audience.

Everyone, you will stay on the Sea Wolf for three and a half days, and there will be opportunities to continue drinking and chatting. I have to rest for a while, hiccup~

The gnoll captain, who had not had enough fun, walked towards the cabin with a slight sway.

The onlookers dispersed.

Edie pinched his chin and watched with interest the back of Captain Gnoll entering the cabin.

It's interesting, a strong gnoll who likes to drink and brag, Milne, it seems that our journey will not be too boring.

Aside, Milne also forgot his fear of monsters and nodded in agreement.
