White Dragon Lord

The next morning.

The eastern sky had just revealed its belly white, and there was still a little stagnant water on the wooden deck of the Sea Wolf, which was sailing through the waves. Edie Campbell rested his hands on the side of the belly-high ship, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he breathed freely with moisture. Air, comfortably enjoy the sea breeze blowing.

Edie breathed a sigh of relief.

The weather at sea is changing. Last night, a sudden heavy rain and wind and waves made everyone on the ship experience what is called the bad temper of the sea. The bumpy ship made many people vomit.

Among them was Edie's businessman friend, poor Milne, who had vomited out of breath and was now lying in a hammock like a dead dog.

As a middle-level warrior of level 7, Edie is much stronger than ordinary people. The turbulence caused by the wind and waves did not affect him too much, but the horrible smell emanating from the vomit still made this noble young master miserable. , which is why Edie was on deck early in the morning.

Not only Edie, but many people couldn't stand the odor and got up early to get air on the deck.

The sailors aboard the Seawolf, or them, were up ahead of the breezy passengers, raising their sails and wiping the water from the wooden deck under the command of the murlocs.

The surface of these dense oak decks is coated with a layer of resin, which has a strong waterproof function, and the water on the surface cannot penetrate, so it needs to be wiped manually.

Hey, sir, please move.

Common language with a strange accent came into Idi's ears, and Idi turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a black-scale murloc standing behind him with a ball of rags, which was an employee on the ship.

Idi nodded and smiled at the murlocs and walked to the place that had been cleaned up. After a short time together yesterday, Idi could no longer treat the monsters of these overseas islands as ordinary monsters.

Except for the difference in appearance, the monsters of these overseas islands are no different from humans.

It's not just Edie, it's how most of the passengers on the ship feel.

In fact, Idi thinks that the monsters on these ships are better than most of the civilians in Red River City. This is an indescribable feeling. Idi feels that these monsters are full of energy, as if they are full of energy in everything they do.

You must know that although Nordhill is a very powerful plane with a developed magical civilization, these precious resources are in the hands of the ruling class represented by the nobles, and the commoners have not been able to enjoy the convenience brought by magic, so that commoners Life is like medieval Europe, and mental numbness has become the norm.

And these savage and backward monsters can maintain a good spirit, which surprised Edie and at the same time was very curious.

Hey Murloc, can we talk?

The busy black-scaled murloc continued to work, turning his head to look at the questioning human.

Of course, guests from afar, and my name is Kaim Darktide.

Hello, Cam, can you tell me about your hometown?

To go to an unfamiliar environment to find opportunities, you must first understand the environment, and the most effective and cheapest way to understand the environment is to ask local people.

Referring to his hometown, Kaim paused the movements in his hands and said proudly.

My hometown is on Raging Tide Island, which is the territory of our Dark Tide Clan, that's right! It is the territory! That is the reward given to our Dark Tide Clan by the owner of the archipelago, Your Excellency the White Dragon Lord, you may not know that our Dark Tide Clan is the earliest A group of murlocs following His Excellency the White Dragon Lord,...

Edie patiently listened to the murlocs tell about the glorious history of the Darktide clan, but what he most wanted to know was not the history, but the current situation of the overseas islands.

The Dark Tide Clan is really an amazing clan. Since Raging Tide Island was bestowed by the White Dragon Lord, does the Dark Tide Clan have any privileges?

Hearing the human compliment, Kaim was very happy.

Privilege? Of course! The tax revenue in Raging Tide Island only needs to be handed over to White Castle, and the remaining 30% is reserved by the Dark Tide clan to use them where needed, such as repairing the hatching pool,

Build more schools....

When Edie heard the school, she was taken aback.

School?! The Dark Tide clan is still building schools?

Of course! About fifty years ago, the White Dragon Lord personally issued an order that every gathering place must have a school, and every underage murloc must go to school to study until he masters basic writing and language skills. Some archipelago common sense.

Kaim looked at the stunned human and shrugged.

Of course, the teachers of these elementary schools can only teach these elementary knowledge. In addition, some schools can also teach advanced knowledge such as magic and martial arts. This kind of higher school is not for ordinary murlocs to enter. This requires A certain talent, and money.

But Your Excellency the White Dragon Lord is very kind. It provided us ordinary murlocs with a loan. We only need to pay it off after graduation. If you can join the official institution of White Castle with excellent grades, you don't need to pay back the money.

I'm working hard to raise money to pay off my debts. I forgot to mention that I'm a second-level soldier.

After finishing speaking, Kaim showed his anger. Edie looked at the weak energy in the murloc's hands and nodded. He didn't expect that the unremarkable murloc in front of him was still a professional.

Idi quickly glanced at the murloc's thin arms and thin legs. The warrior is a profession that relies on the body for food, and the murloc is weak. According to his estimation, the true combat power of the murloc in front of him may be similar to that of an ordinary human veteran. .

Of course, if it is in the sea, it is another matter.

Can you tell me about the college system in the overseas islands?! I'm very curious.

Our schools here are divided into ordinary schools and Mowu academies. Ordinary schools can only teach some common knowledge, and the Mowu academies are divided into three levels, elementary, intermediate, and advanced.

There are the most elementary magic and martial arts academies, at least there are more than 1,000, there are only fifty-six intermediate magic and martial arts colleges, and there are only five advanced magic and martial arts colleges.

In addition, there are some special colleges, such as the Alchemy College that specializes in cultivating alchemy talents, the military academy that sends talents to the White Castle Army, and the most powerful Sacred Dragon College, but the Sacred Dragon College is only for absolute geniuses. , and open to descendants of those beings who have made great devotion to Whitecastle.

Kaim's tone was full of admiration for the Holy Dragon Academy, and Edie had been stunned by the blow.

Even the Horn Kingdom, a kingdom that has been passed down for thousands of years, has no more than 30 academies that can teach magic and martial arts, but the overseas islands are... .

The fish-man looked at the stunned Edie and smiled. This was not the first human being who was struck to the point of doubting his life. He turned around and continued his work.

It didn't take long for Idi to wake up and see the murloc who was already busy, his throat rolled and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The wild land in the impression of the overseas archipelago is actually more developed than the Horn Kingdom, a kingdom that has been established for thousands of years.

Edie finally understood why he saw such a good spirit in these monsters. The development of the overseas archipelago was no less than that of the powerful countries in the south.

The poor self and others thought that this was a barren land. Edie laughed at himself. At the same time, he had more expectations for his trip. He continued to inquire about news from others....

More than an hour later, Edie found several murlocs gathered in the bow, among them Cam Darktide, and they were discussing something in murloc language.

Then, under the curious eyes of everyone, several murlocs dragged a huge fishing net and jumped directly into the sea from the boat.

Everyone was watching from the side of the boat. At this time, there was not much wind and waves on the sea. Several murlocs dragged the open fishing nets and dived into the sea without a trace. At the same time, the speed of the boat slowed down.

A big black man couldn't help sighing.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's really convenient. If you want to eat fish, you can directly drag the fishing net into the sea to get it.

A junior wizard in a robe rolled his eyes.

It's as simple as you think. The danger in the sea is no less than that in the forest. Haven't you seen the harpoons on their backs? They risk their lives to hunt just like us human hunters entering the forest.

The kobold sailor said triumphantly.

What you said is wrong. It's not easy for murlocs to go fishing, but they don't have to risk their lives.

Seeing that everyone's attention shifted to himself, the kobold introduced this novel fishing method to everyone.

It's not easy to say, but the hardest step in this fishing method is to find the fish, and there are often other predators around the fish.

It's not difficult to say, the murloc army often cleans up the high-risk extraordinary creatures in the ocean, so in most cases, our brave murloc sailors will not encounter too difficult predators, if all goes well, we will Fresh seafood can be eaten at noon.”

So that's how it is...

The crowd suddenly realized.

More than an hour later, the murlocs came back with their trophies—a swinging net of sea fish.

In the cheers of the crowd, the fishing net was dragged aboard by the sailors, and the fish in the net bounced on the deck.

Edie's eyes were good, and at a glance, he saw the two sea fish with silver patterns on their bodies among the fish in the fishing net, and his pupils shrank.

Good guy! Silverfish!

Silverfish is a kind of precious marine fish, small in size and up to two feet long. It moves like electricity in water and tastes extremely delicious. They live in seawater about 500 meters below the sea surface, and it is extremely difficult for human fishermen to catch them. But once you catch one, you won't have to worry about it for a few years.

Because, even in a seaside port city like Victoria Harbour, silverfish can buy one pound of hardware coins. In an inland city like Horn Kingdom, the price is even more than twenty times higher, because silverfish must live in In seawater around zero, it is extremely difficult to transport.

Edie walked quickly to the cabin and told the news to his businessman friend who was lying in the hammock.

Milne heard the words, and his exhausted body immediately poured out infinite energy, jumped up from the hammock excitedly, and ran to the door. The speed was so fast that Idi, a serious middle-level warrior, was ashamed. .

The two pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, just in time to see the murloc take out the silver thread fish and put it into a bucket with floating ice cubes.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Milne's eyes. Obviously, these murlocs know the goods, and the idea of ​​​​picking leaks will not work.

Edie was not surprised at all, after all, the schools in the overseas islands were not open for nothing, he just wanted to inject some vitality into his friends.

At noon, there were indeed more delicacies on the boat - delicious seafood.

Eating delicious seafood, Milne became excited again. It was indeed right to come to the overseas islands. There are many opportunities here. As long as he can find a stable supply channel, he can make a fortune.

The two friends immediately exchanged ideas. Edie plans to set up his own adventure group to find cherished medicinal materials, gems, and hunt extraordinary creatures, while Milne plans to find a local partner and buy ships to form his own caravan.

Both feel hopeful for their future.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the deck.

Magic creature!!!

The expressions of the two people in the cabin changed. After the demonic disaster a few years ago, the discussion of demonized creatures on the mainland changed.

Afterwards, there was a noisy discussion on the deck. In the discussion, Edie did not hear any fear, and no one fled back to the cabin. The two couldn't help but feel very puzzled.

The two walked out of the cabin, found a vacant seat on the deck, and saw the scene of everyone watching.

On the sea not far from the boat, a huge tortoise carried a demonized shark with blood-red patterns on its back. Of course, the shark was not too big, and it was dead. There was a school of fish around the huge tortoise. people.

These murlocs are well-equipped, with spears in their hands that deal with large creatures. The spears are shimmering and chilling, and Idi even saw a murloc mage with a staff.

It seems that this is White Castle's sea cruise team.

In the bragging of the gnoll captain, Edie learned of the existence of the Whitecastle Sea Patrol Team, a team of elite murlocs responsible for cruising the waters of the overseas archipelago, hunting high-level extraordinary creatures and demonized beasts, This ensures the safety of the overseas islands.

After opening the routes from major ports to overseas islands, the intensity of the cruise has been increased several times.

In the distance, a murloc from the sea cruise team saw everyone on the boat, climbed onto the shark's body, and waved to everyone enthusiastically, and everyone responded enthusiastically.

...

afternoon two days later.

Edie and Milne stood on the bow of the Sea Wolf, excitedly looking at the huge island on the sea level, or a small continent-Kumlinge.

Xuetao City, a new city at the mouth of the Xuehui River, is the destination of the sea wolf's voyage, and it is also their base.

As it got closer and closer to Xuetao City, the color of the sea water under the boat became lighter and lighter. From the blue-blue at the beginning, it has now become transparent and colorless.

Everyone on the Sea Wolf looked at the neat white houses in Xuetao City, and their hearts were surging.

clang clang!

The bell of disembarkation had already rung, and Edie and Milne, who had already been ready, rushed to the newly-built wharf, which still smelled of oak.

Under the fiery red sunset and the chirping of seagulls, the two teenagers ran towards the city of hope with their dreams in their hearts.
