Chapter 6 Mercenaries at Sea

The sewage tavern, as the name suggests, is filled with puddles on the stone floor, and water drips from the ceiling from time to time.

After all, this is an island environment, even the wind blowing is salty and salty, and the basement is so rich in moisture that drinkers cover their glasses with their hands to prevent the wine from being polluted by the moisture outside.

Speaking of these drinkers, the people in the Azure Sword were all elves outside, which was enough to surprise everyone. When I entered the tavern, I found out that there were humans here......

To be exact, humans, dwarves, orcs, elves, all kinds of races are everywhere in the tavern, giving the illusion of suddenly coming to a fantasy world.

"What do you see, find fault?" It was probably because the girls had been staring at each other for a long time, and a green-skinned orc who was closest to him stood up angrily - this guy was about 1.9 meters tall, with a flat head, hair tied into a bun on the top of his head, and the lower row of canine fangs turned out of his lower lip, looking fierce and brutal.

Staring at him was Sidlifa, and although the two were about the same height, the orc's stout figure was clearly not comparable to her size. The Norman girl was slightly stunned, then laughed, turned to Asker, and said:

"Ask, look! It's a living orc! I've always heard from the people in the village about the wild orc tribes in the northern ice field, but I've never seen them, and I never thought I'd see them on the island here! ”

"Look for death!" Described as "wild" by the human girl, the orc was furious, and stretched out his arm as thick as a normal person's thigh and grabbed at Sidlifa.

Sidlifa was still laughing, and she was not slow to react at all, and punched him in the chest.

Her fist came first, and before the orc could touch her, it struck the orc's strong chest, and the latter flew upside down in a U-shape, and its massive body fell straight to the opposite side as if it were completely weightless.

On the wine table on the edge of the opposite wall, three dwarves were drinking with wooden cups, and one of the dwarves stepped on the tower shield on the ground, grabbed the handle of the shield and smashed it with his backhand, and unloaded the flying orcs to the side.

"Good strength!" Feeling the strong force coming from the shield, the dwarf holding the shield raised his eyebrows and looked at Sidlifa with some consternation, "Little human girl, are you a sage?" ”

"Sage?" Sidlifa shook her head, "I don't understand. ”

"That's ......" The dwarf couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks, and turned his head to look at the human at the wine table next to him, "Douglas, what do you call the Sage?" ”

"The Transcendent." Douglas is a middle-aged human male in a shirt with a simple pistol pinned to his waist. He drank his wine to himself as he spat out a faint word.

"Yes, the Transcendent." The dwarf immediately turned to look at Sidlifa, "You're a transcendent?" ”

"Ahh Sidlifa glanced at Asker, and seeing that he didn't mean to stop him, he nodded calmly and acknowledged.

So not only the dwarf in front of him, but also the entire tavern resounded with whispers. Although everyone unanimously lowered their voices, the girls, as transcendentals, naturally had their hearing strengthened by physical strength, and they could hear the slightly shocked conversations of the people around them:

"When will humans be able to become transcendental?"

"Isn't it? Aren't they incapable of eating spiritual materials? ”

"Gotta get the news out of here......"

Soon several aliens stood up and tried to walk towards the outside of the tavern. However, the entrance was blocked by the girls of the Blue Sword, and their faces changed.

In normal times, of course, they unceremoniously pushed each other aside. However, the last orc who tried to push them was still lying on the floor in the corner of the tavern moaning.

"Excuse me." The elf at the head could only bite the bullet and say, "Can you let go?" ”

"I have a question." Seeing that his expression was quite jealous, Aske simply asked, "Why can't humans become transcendental?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding drinkers turned strange. The elf was stunned for a long time, as if he did not know how to answer, but Douglas, who was at the wine table next to him, drank the wine in one gulp, smashed the glass on the table, and said:

"Because our human beings have different body structures from these guys, if we directly eat the spiritual materials of transcendent creatures, there is a high probability that they will directly mutate out of control."

The girls looked at each other, completely confused by what the guys were talking about. Eating spiritual materials directly? Are you crazy, out of control, that's for sure!

"Wait." Mi'er suddenly spoke, "This ...... Mr. Douglas, what day is it today? ”

"July 10th." Douglas was a little puzzled and said with a frown.

"What about the vintage?" Mi'er continued to ask, "July 10th in a few years?" ”

Douglas immediately showed an expression of "Are you little elf cub out of your mind?" and calmed down for a moment before continuing:

"3174, July 10, 3174 A.D."

"Shhh At this time, it was not only Mi'er, but even Nora and Sheila, who were familiar with history, gasped.

The AnnoDomini era, instead of the "Tertiary" and "Quaternary" periods used on the mainland, was only used in certain specific periods.

It was the prehistoric era more than 2,000 years ago, that is, from the time of the human colonization of the planet Helel to the occurrence of the first magic tide, which was only mentioned in a few words in the history books.

But everyone is also an old mercenary, of course it is impossible for me to believe whatever you say, so Sheila cleared her throat seriously and asked tentatively:

"You came up from a colony ship?"

Douglas sneered: "It's 3174 now, do you think I look like a person in my 100s?" ”

It turns out that the colony ship landed on the planet Helel, probably in the 31st century. Sheila and Nora winked, and the latter smiled slightly, and continued to probe:

"Mr. Douglas, are you from Jerusalem? It's a little far from here. ”

In fact, from Jerusalem to the Atlanta Ocean, it takes more than 3,000 kilometers to cross the entire Mediterranean Sea, which is really not an ordinary distance.

"Jerusalem?" Douglas's face was a little impatient, but after all, these girls were powerful transcendents, although he was unruly on the surface, but in fact, he was also a little stunned in his heart, so he had to patiently replied:

"I'm not from Jerusalem, it's too far from here. I'm from New Carthage. ”

New Carthage, yet another unheard of place name.

"I know that Carthage was a city-state of the Late Second Age, and is currently the capital of the Hafsgar Kingdom of the Dead." Sheila whispered in the psychic communication channel, "But where is this new Carthage?" ”

"Maybe some prehistoric colonial city-state in the Iberian Peninsula." Nora guessed.

In fact, in all the historical documents that are currently open to the public, it is said that "Jerusalem" is the earliest and only prehistoric colonial city-state of mankind, which helped mankind resist the invasion of demonic beasts and alien wars after the first magic tide.

As for the other prehistoric colonial city-states, none of them have been mentioned in any historical documents. Even Nora only learned from the Holy See's Milan database that there were other prehistoric colonial city-states besides Jerusalem - but the relevant histories were destroyed after the first magic tide.

"Hey!" Seeing that these people were blocking the entrance and still chatting with the drinkers, the dark elf bartender behind the counter shouted dissatisfiedly, "Don't block the door! Someone is going out and doesn't see it? ”

The people of the Azure Sword were completely unmoved, after all, after hearing the conversation of these people, the fool also knew that as long as any drinker walked out of this tavern, he would soon come to the door with a bunch of trouble. Therefore, not only did everyone not give way, but deliberately approached each other, blocking the door even more tightly.

Asker took another wizard's stone from Nora and threw it directly to the bartender behind the counter.

Since helping Lusitania integrate her forces, Maya has given them a lot of wizarding stones in case of emergency, so as a common currency here, the people of the Blue Sword are not short of money.

The bartender took the Wizard's Stone, checked the weight and purity, and immediately rearranged the rack without saying a word, as if there were no bad customers blocking the door at all.

"Mr. Douglas." Ignoring the jealous and hostile gazes around him, Aske smiled and asked the middle-aged man, "What do you do?" ”

What to do...... Douglas opened his mouth slightly. In other words, except for pirates, who will leave the mainland and come to this broken island!

"Mercenaries." In the end, he didn't dare to admit that he was a pirate, and stubbornly said, "I'm a mercenary, that ...... Undertake a number of combat missions at sea. ”
