【Wanghai Expedition Road Bosang】

In the great city of Bosang, there was a building with high walls, a splendid castle, a garden that looked like a royal palace, and a collection of all the treasures that were the envy of the people on earth, and it was the place where the highest power in the city lived, and people called him the Duke.

"So, does that duke have the supreme power in the city, the right to control the economy, killing, administration, etc.?" Ace followed the viscount through the corridors of the castle, the fish-man guards lined up like two rows of poplar trees along the bright walls of the corridor.

"Your Excellency, you must know that the Duke is a symbol of a great city, just as the mermaid royal family is a symbol of Bo Sang, a Duke is also a symbol of a city, they are incomparably powerful and majestic." The Viscount's words made Ace think that this guy was a genius with a whisker, and those words at the end of the sentence made his words extremely foreign.

"I know, I know." Ace really didn't want to have such a conversation, at this time he just wanted to hurry up and see the so-called "symbol of the big city" like the duke, what that guy was like.

The corridor is full of luxury, made of pearl agate coral into very beautiful art paintings, displayed on the walls of the corridor, those paintings are simply magical, colorful, those treasures on these picture scrolls into a series of color grooves and protrusions three-dimensional and beautiful intertwined, as if there is magic.

As they walked forward, Ace smelled greed and intrigue, he was very sensitive to this smell, and the smell of humans usually revealed their true nature, however, he didn't know that fish-people also smelled this way.

"Alright, my dear lordship, the Duke is ready to receive us, and don't forget to salute, or you will be disrespectful." The Viscount admonished Ace, who ignored him and walked forward, looking at the light at the end of the hallway, where there was a powerful fellow.

For this kind of guy, Ace always can't wait to see it.

"God, your lord is too rude, don't go so fast, Lord Duke will be dissatisfied......" Viscount wanted to say something, Ace's look made him shut up, he ignored the trembling Viscount, and walked straight to the end of the corridor.

"What a guts! The hairy boy on the ground actually dared to do something to my Viscount Bo Sang! Before Ace reached the end of the corridor, he heard a roar, and then, a stream of water rushed in, containing full and threatening power, and Ace couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

He didn't make any extra movements, just stretched out his right hand, pointed in the direction of the water, and suddenly, there was silence, the water was dispersed, and Ace continued to walk slowly towards the end, he knew that both sides were tentative moves, and he also knew that the strength of this duke might be on par with him, but the magical existence of the apostle made them not need to fear any enemy of the same level.

"Mr. Duke, can we talk about business calmly?" Ace approached the end of the hallway, speaking softly to the people inside, his tone was calm, and when he reached the end of the hallway, a bright hall appeared, in this hall with white as the main color, decorated with beautiful crystal vessels, a huge chandelier hung directly above, emitting a light like a sea.

"I don't know your details, but I'm sure you're not a Noah, so who are you?" Standing under the chandelier was a fish-man who closely resembled a human, with obvious facial features, but some scales scattered across his cheeks and neck, and a purple spar on his forehead that shone with the impression that only a mermaid could possess when he was awarded the title of duke: the eye of the sea.

"Oh? Are you suspicious of me, Lord Duke? Although I am not a Noah's human, I am here for them, you see that I am just an apostle who has a contractual relationship with a certain guy," Ace said, revealing his identity, and the Duke of his rank could clearly know that there was some kind of contractual relationship in him: "So, I am just a poor creature who sells his life for others." ”

"So, what do you want to say?" The Duke let his guard down, though he still didn't trust Ace.

"We have a common purpose, we are here because of a common purpose, and since we have the same purpose, then we can cooperate, right?" Ace seems to have learned a bad lesson with Ike, and has begun to use rhetorical questions to confuse others, as for how Ike learned - how can he survive so long in a place like the city-state of Kuiman without learning this skill?

"A common purpose? Do you know what our purpose is? The duke asked Ace, and Ace curled the corners of his mouth, and his blue eyes seemed to contain a clear spring.

"Don't I know the purpose of the Hatred of the Territory? So, we have the same purpose, actually, I'm also a little annoyed as a nanny, so it's pretty good to let those self-righteous guys suffer. Ace's words surprised the Duke a little.

"Is the helper going to do it to the contractor? You will be damned for doing so. As soon as the Duke finished speaking, Ace smiled, and he looked at the Duke's incredible eyes, grinning, and a strange smile.

"So I still have to ask you, the guys you help me solve the trouble, the guys I help you solve the trouble, I know, you may have the same reason as me for not being able to do anything to them, but, you can put all the things on me, anyway, after helping you finish the work, after taking my benefits, I'll leave, haha, how about it, this deal is fair." Ace's words made the Duke think for a moment, then sighed and said:

"What do you call you?"

"Skye, just call me Skye." Ace said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to the duke by the way: "I am willing to be your ally, what about you?" Dear Mr. Duke? ”

"Duke Clough Saul is willing to be an ally of Mr. Skye!" After speaking, Ace's smile became extremely strange, and he whispered to the duke:

"Kill that guy from the ground."

In the shop in the small city, Ike was still thinking at the bar, and the old fishman Rowan gave him a scale, and with this scale, he could go to a pro-local duke to get his help, and he should be able to find Ace's whereabouts, or send him back to the expedition directly. He thinks the latter is the best, he doesn't know what danger he will encounter with that guy Ace, after all, there are so many people in the expedition team who can protect him, and he also misses Cruise and Mars a little.

"Go ahead, he's a kind duke, and he has a very strong strength, protect you well, just call him Duke Bob, he's a bit of a joker, I hope you won't mind this little flaw of his." Rowan explained, Ike looked at Rowan, mumbled, and asked:

"Mr. Rowan, my father wouldn't be like that, would he?"

"He won't, anyway, I trust him." Rowan patted Ike on the shoulder, and Ike touched the bridge of his nose, smiled, and didn't say anything more. He turned around and walked towards the door of the tavern, Rowan looked at his back, and couldn't help but think of the person more than ten years ago, he also had such a back, although not so tall and mighty, but it was very trusting.

Ike walked out of the tavern and looked at the road that stretched into the distance, Rowan told Ike that he could walk along this road to Duke Bob's big city, and after Ike walked out of the tavern, Rowan let out a sigh: "It seems that he is not as strong as you expected." ”

"Of course you can't see how powerful he is, the power of the Harbinger appears on this little guy really makes me feel very unusual, besides, he is still a descendant of Mobai, and it is also appropriate to help him." A voice came from the shadows of the tavern, and in the figure was a bubble with purple liquor in its hand.

"By the way, I didn't see any trace of the Dream Apostle, isn't that guy in a contractual relationship with Ike?" Rowan's words drew a burst of laughter from the figure.

"Skye, that guy likes to mess around, but ......" He walked out of the corner and stood in front of the bar, his ash hair and gray skin seemed to be one, his eyes were still bright black, and the smile on his mouth was as delicate as the moon in the night sky, yes, he was a duke, but not a fish-man's duke.

"Oh, so aren't they going to get involved in something, I've heard that the Haters might be doing something lately." Rowan looked at the duke's calm look, and his face was full of smiles without any other expressions at all.

"It doesn't matter if they get involved in the incident, I just hope that they can get involved in some incident, so that they can grow, from a scoundrel who can play tricks to a strong man who dares to speak with his fists, but it will take a long road." The duke said something very philosophical, and the old fishman silently took out the necklace and asked him:

"So, do you know his whereabouts, whether Mobai is alive or dead?"

"He was already doomed to death when he left the bottom of the sea twelve years ago," the Duke said, his expression becoming a little serious: "The Clofadi family, in trouble with something terrible, not only Mobai, but all the members of the Clofadi family were all killed. Except for the kid, though. ”

"So, he's dead?" The old fishman's tone became calmer: "What are you going to do next?" ”

"I'm just here to greet the adult, he's a naughty gentleman, always running around, I need to find him." After the duke finished speaking, the figure became in a trance and left the tavern, leaving the old fishman himself silently looking at the empty tavern and letting out an incomprehensible sigh.
