Chapter 32: Krishanna's Price (2-in-1)
A man with a bow and arrow turned to Madeleine and asked, "Do you know how many there are in them?" β
Madeleine opened her mouth, but she was speechless for a while, and after a full two seconds, she replied with difficulty: "At least eight hundred!" β
"It's a fart, kill yourself!"
The man with the bow and arrow on his back exploded directly.
"Kenneth, what are you talking about!" Someone next to him looked at him dissatisfiedly and said.
"Isn't it? Eight hundred mirels, even if you add the hundreds of people in the cabin, they will crush us in terms of numbers, not to mention the strength of the mirals, what are we waiting for death? β
With Kenneth's words, the rest of the gathered crowd also heard shouts of "He is right", "Turn around and run away", "Isn't this dead".
Kobe Bryant looked at the people around him who began to panic with a splitting headache, and there was nothing he could do in his head.
He had already greeted the leader of the adventurers on the ship, and he knew what the strength of these adventurers was.
It can be said that in terms of quantity and quality, it is completely incomparable with the Mermaid of Miro.
This is simply a dead end, such a big gap, what other way is there besides suicide?
At this time, he looked at everyone with blank eyes, thinking about almost impossible countermeasures in his mind.
Suddenly, his blank eyes seemed to see something strange, and when he subconsciously looked at it, he realized that it was the one-eyed boy.
The young man who had stopped speaking since just now, and the beautiful girl beside him all looked at everyone with indifferent eyes, without a trace of panic at all.
It was not indifference in the face of a desperate situation, but an indifference that did not take the situation in front of him seriously at all, and Kobe Bryant still had this eyesight.
At this time, he finally determined the relationship between the boy and the girl - under the exact same expression, the two are quite similar.
The man and woman are not lovers, but brother and sister.
β¦β¦ It took so long to see that I was a little face blind?
Why aren't they afraid?
β¦β¦
Blue looked at the people in front of him and felt that he and Krishanna were out of place with them.
Things gather like and people are grouped.
Obviously, he and his sister are people from two worlds.
When he was a young dragon, he had often fought with high-level monsters, and he also slaughtered the dragon-slaying adventure team with his sister, and even killed the young bronze dragon with his own hands.
It's as if the world is full of dangers, and all you encounter are powerful opponents.
But in fact, because he is already very strong, of course he encounters strong enemies, how can a weak enemy come to provoke him?
It's as if the crisis in front of him is, in his opinion, nothing more than a group of low-level monsters like ogres.
Nothing.
But in these generals, even adventurers, most of them are only level 2 or level 3 professionals.
These low-level professionals are already the main force in the adventure team, and more of them are people who have not even reached the first level.
With this kind of combat power, in the face of hundreds of Miro mermaids, how can you not feel hopeless?
"My lord, do you have a solution?"
Seeing the flatness on the faces of Blue, Krisanna and the others, Captain Kobe Bryant intuitively felt that the other party should have some way to deal with the desperate situation in front of him.
Anyway, it's like a drowning person, who cares if there's anything around him now, grab it first.
As Kobe Bryant's words came out, the originally noisy voices around him suddenly quieted down.
Everyone looked at Kobe Bryant in surprise, and then at Blue and the group, wondering if he was scared crazy.
No one believed that Blue would have a solution, although the other did not seem to be very afraid.
They all speculated that it was likely that this boy did not know the current situation and did not know what a few hundred Miro mermaids representedβthis almost represented a force that could slaughter the army of a small country!
Blue looked at Kobe, although he didn't want to pay attention to these humans, but after thinking about it, if he wanted to fly to the Central Continent, it would still be quite troublesome.
In that case, even if these Miro merfolk are unlucky.
However, the price of the dragon is not cheap.
"Then it depends on how much money you can contribute."
Hearing Blue's answer, all the humans, including Kobe, were stunned.
What does that mean?
After a while, they came to their senses, and suddenly someone couldn't help it and laughed loudly: "Boy, what do you mean by this? Now that everyone is on this boat, you still want to collect money? Do you think you're protecting us? Do you still want to charge protection money? Now it's a situation where everyone dies together if they don't unite, do you understand? β
For this kind of idiot who can't even understand the lingua franca, Blue doesn't want to beep with him at all.
Madeleine didn't think much of it, and when she heard Blue's words, she immediately remembered the legend of the mermaid that had been passed down from before.
In merfolk legends, humans are their friends, but this friend will not help you for nothing, but will need you to pay enough.
No wonder these people refused to say help themselves just now, it turned out that the procedures were wrong!
Madeleine seemed to have found some trick, and her mood suddenly changed a lot.
She swung her fishtail and swam up to Blue, then asked, "Human, what's your name?" β
"You're not qualified to know my name yet."
Blue's words are very stinging, but in the eyes of a simple mermaid, this kind of truth is easier for them to accept than hypocritical words.
Since I am not qualified, then I should be unqualified.
Madeleine thought so, and then immediately bowed her head and apologized: "I'm really sorry, it's a contemptible faux pas." β
Seeing Madeleine so upright, Kobe Bryant and the people around him were speechless for a while, and Blue was also a little surprised, this mermaid has a really good temper.
"That'...... My lord, we don't have human currency, I've heard people in the clan say before, you prefer pearls and minerals on the bottom of the sea, can we use that as a reward? Madeleine said cautiously, as if begging for a savior.
In fact, she was really begging, there were more than a thousand blue-scaled mermaids living on Mermaid Island, and more than 300 were eaten during this time.
And the death was miserable, so it can be said that there are no bones left.
In order to please their demonic master, the Merfolk are extremely cruel, often biting the captured Blue-scaled Merfolk in front of their loved ones.
And the inability to stop the pain of being eaten alive by the crying of their loved ones has already driven dozens of blue-scaled mermaids crazy.
Blue looked at Madeleine, and suddenly felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than the poor people next to her.
He knew that although the merfolk regarded money as dung, it didn't mean they didn't have money.
In fact, in the ocean, there are countless gold and silver treasures in shipwrecks alone, not to mention the inexhaustible pearls and various minerals in the shells.
If you can get these blue-scaled merfolk to sign an agreement and pay tribute every year, it will make a lot of money.
It was a good deal, after all, the Merfolk were nothing but the other of the five of them, except for Macaria, and it didn't take them to even turn back into dragon form.
And for the blue-scaled merfolk, just paying some useless pearls and the gold and silver treasures in the shipwreck can save the lives of the whole clan.
It's so good for money that they might even feel embarrassed as if they were taking advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Blue laughed.
And Krishanna, who seemed to have a heart and had no good face at all for humans, also lit up her eyes, and then looked at Madeleine and laughed - for the creatures that can add bricks to her imaginary future lair, Krishanna does not mind giving her a little "tenderness".
"In spite of your humble nature, the great, noble, and elegant Chrisanna admires your intellect and self-knowledge! Right! Self-knowledge! This is something that these equally humble garbage do not have! β
As soon as Krisanna opened her mouth, she shocked the audience, and everyone looked at this extraordinary beauty and couldn't believe that she could be so arrogant.
Which duke's lady ran out?
Everyone thought this in their hearts, and no one thought that she was lying, because the current appearance of Chrisanna is exactly what Blue had complained about before-
It feels great when you don't speak, and it feels even greater when you speak.
When Kobe Bryant and the others were guessing Krisanna's identity, Madeleine didn't think that much, in her mind, it was enough for someone to take care of her and help her.
"Thank you very much for your compliment, please forgive me, what do you need?"
"Humble creature, sign the contract. As long as you give three hundred tons of pearls, three chests of various gems, three chests of fine magic ore, and three chests of gold or silver equivalent to the great Krishanna every year, the noble and elegant Krishanna will help you get rid of the mess in front of you! β
Bryant shuddered, and the people around him also fell to the ground with crackling weapons.
The farming industry in the world is not very good, so the cultured pearl industry does not exist.
Pearls can be used as skin care and whitening products among noble ladies and merchant ladies, and they can also be used as precious jewelry raw materials, and are in great demand in the fields of alchemy, spell casting materials, etc.
So the price is also very impressive, almost equivalent to silver.
Krisanna's opening was three hundred...... For these people, it's almost impossible to imagine how much money it is.
And, there are gems, gold, magic ores......
This...... Or do you have to pay tribute every year...... How is this possible?
They couldn't help but look at Madeleine with a distressed look on her face.
And Madeleine also has a bitter face, but what she is distressed about is not what the people around her think, but ......
"Pearls are no problem at all, but we know the location of magic ores and gems, but we can't mine them, and gold ...... We don't have the tools, and we can't mine them either. β
The poor people around them were all dumbfounded, and they suddenly understood.
Pearls are very difficult to obtain for humans, elves and other races on land, but for mermaids living in the ocean, they are like stones on the ground.
The quality and weight of pearls can be imagined without collecting the seabed.
They can move freely in the seawater, and they can pick dozens of catties a day, and it is not a matter for a person to hand over a few tons a year.
300 tons, just send dozens of people to be in charge of this work.
"Humble and pitiful wretchedness, how foolish it is to make the great Krisanna feel sorry and pitiful for you......"
Christana looked at Madeleine disapprehendedly, causing her to bow her head in shame.
"Stupid merfolk, have you forgotten?" Krisanna looked at the person next to her and said coldly, "These equally humble mortals are also waste begging for alms from the great Krisanna...... Do they think they can be free? β
After hearing Krisanna's words, the adventurers and some noble guards standing in front reacted.
A complex emotion emerged in my heart, as if the absurd scene in front of me was like a drama.
After a few seconds, a big man with several scars on his face, wearing armor all over his body, and about two meters tall, walked out, looked at Krisanna and said, "Alas, I said that the respected 'lord', we should not be playing a stage play now......"
"Humble fellow, you mean the great, elegant Krisanna is joking with you?" There wasn't much anger on Krisanna's face, she just thought this mortal was stupid and ridiculous.
Looking around, she continued, "Since you're not willing to pay a reasonable fee, go die! β
In the past few days, Krisanna has undoubtedly been the "goddess of dreams" and "iceberg beauty" for most of the people on the entire ship.
But now the arrogant and "crazy" speech shattered the fantasies of more than a hundred men who were now on deck.
If it weren't for Krishanna's invincible face, and they still cared about a little image, I am afraid that they would have exploded all kinds of foul language to scold them long ago.
Madeleine looked left and right, and at this time the Titan had stopped, and her compatriots under the water were still waiting for news of her, and now she didn't seem to be able to pay enough, which made her anxious.
With begging eyes, he swept over the leaders of the various adventure teams on the deck one by one, but all he got was a shimmering feedback.
Blue sighed, he knew Krishanna's intentions, and if these people really couldn't give her what she asked for, then she would definitely not lend a hand.
And if she refuses to do it, then it is not easy for her to make a move, after all, this is her own sister, and it is not good to slap her in the face no matter how she thinks she is a brother.
He looked at Captain Bryant, then thought for a moment and asked, "Captain, you said before that you've been sailing this waterway for decades, haven't you?" β
Kobe nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord, I am still a teenage sailor, so I will run this road with my fellow countrymen." has been mixed up, and ten years ago, he finally got into the captain's position. β
Blue spread his hands, and then said: "Isn't that simple, there should be many ships sunk here in the past thousands of years, you just need to collect this information, and then join the mermaids to search, can't you fulfill my dear sister's request?" β
A word woke up the dreamer, and everyone suddenly turned their greedy eyes on Madeleine.
