Pearl Village, a village on the east shore of the Pearl Sea that looks noble in name, but is actually pitifully poor.

Joyce got up just as the sun was about to rise, and she looked at the sky after stepping out of the hut where she lived.

There was a long thunderstorm at sea last night, and it rained a lot as a rule of thumb.

If the weather at sea is bad, it will be dangerous for her to wait for pearls to go down to the sea to collect pearls.

Her parents were driven down to the sea to collect pearls by the lord because of the windy weather, and never returned.

There were no clouds in the sky, so it seemed to be a good day.

Joyce plucked two carrots from the vegetable patch near her home, pinned them to her belt, and prepared to make breakfast later, then picked up the barrel and went to the well to fetch water.

There was a shelf next to the well, and in the faint light of the sky, Joyce saw that her neighbor Coughlin was hanging naked on it, unconscious, and not far away was a ball of rags, which were Coughlin's clothes.

Coughlin's parents, like Joyce's, went to sea that day and never returned.

It's just that Coufflin's health is not good, and the time she dives to the bottom of the sea every time is not long, and she picks fewer pearls every day than everyone else, and she almost can't pay the monthly pearl tax.

As such, Coughlin couldn't afford to fetch water from the lord's well, and she was discovered by the lord's dogleg when she secretly came to fetch water in the middle of the night......

Joyce frowned, she stood aside and hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the dogleg next to the well and said, "I'll pay for her, can I put her down?"

All her cash was a few copper plates, and all but two were buried under the fire pit at home.

The dogleg's face turned bad, and he had other plans for Coufflene.

Their black elves can't stand the sun because of their skin color, and when it is noon, Coufflin, who can't stand the sun, will definitely beg for mercy, and then he will be able to drag the famous little beauty of the village home to do whatever he wants.

But the lord is a dead money-seeker, and in the eyes of their big-footed giants, the black elves are synonymous with stunted growth—even if the female black elves are basically "mountain elves"—they can't be looked down upon at all.

If the lord knows that he doesn't charge money for his lower body, it is light to castrate himself within five knives.

So the dogleg took the two copper plates from Joyce's hand, and the two carrots from her waist, and then put Covelyn down.

In the process of letting go of the black elf girl, the dogleg is too addicted.

Joyce finished fetching the water quickly, carrying Coufflin on her back and bucket in one hand, and after picking up Coufflin's clothes, she took three steps and two steps back home.

After placing Coufflin on top of the haystack where her parents had slept before, Joyce began to cook breakfast for the day.

She lit the fire, poured the water into the pot, put the pot on the fire, and then scooped a large spoonful of gray-white powder from the jar next to her and put it in a bowl, and used a little water to turn it into a white pulp.

After the water in the pot boiled, she poured the white paste from the bowl into the pot and stirred a few times to make a thick paste.

Joyce cooked a little more mush today, because the carrots used for breakfast were gone, and it was very exhausting to go to the sea, and if you didn't eat enough for breakfast, you probably wouldn't be able to come back.

After she ate most of the pot, she left a small half bowl for Coufflin, who was still unconscious.

She didn't have much to eat, and if the weather wasn't suitable for the sea, she had to dig up the roots of a wild vine in the nearby hills, and the powdered powder was made from those roots.

If she's lucky, she might be able to bring back a palm-sized fish or two tonight.

If the fish is too big, then you need to pay taxes to the lord.

When the sun was just rising, Joyce hung the bamboo basket around his waist, put a bright pearling knife in, picked up a wetsuit made of linen to avoid being stung by jellyfish and scratched by rocks, and walked out of the hut and walked towards the sea.

The village still has a long way to go to the sea, and there seem to be more seagulls in the sky today than usual, and Joyce has to be careful not to be bombarded by guano while being careful about the reef on the ground.

Along the way, Joyce was thinking about whether to follow the pearl boat to the farther sea.

Although you have to pay a sum of money to the pearl diving boat when you get on the boat, there are more opportunities to pick pearls outside, and in general, it is still more profitable than fighting alone near the shore.

She thought that if she might as well go back tonight and discuss with Coufflein, the two of them would make a small boat together, so that they could go to sea farther, and it would be more comfortable to have Couffleen on the boat to help her in the sea.

Not far from the sea, Joyce heard a commotion over there, as if something terrible had happened.

Joyce hurried over, only to be stunned by the sight of the sea.

Countless pieces of wood floated on the surface of the sea, and the corpses of Bigfoot giants, trolls, lizardmen, four-winged dragons, and so on floated up and down the waves between the trees.

The black elves who were about to go pearl diving on the beach were all stunned, and some of the black elves recognized the clothes worn by the dead as the uniforms of the allied navy.

This discovery stunned the dark elves, including Joyce, who had seen this unprecedented fleet from afar a few years ago after spending two days on the surface of the sea not far away.

It's just that now it seems that this fleet has suffered, and the ships have sunk a lot, and maybe even the whole army has been destroyed.

The pearl-diving black elves soon gathered together, and everyone was worried.

There are so many carcasses in the sea, it will definitely attract sharks. Before these carcasses are cleaned up, going to sea is tantamount to feeding the sharks. Even if the body is cleaned up, it will take about half a month for the shark to leave.

In this way, the pearling black elves will not be able to go to the sea for nearly a month, so their taxes and living expenses will not be settled.

The local lord quickly rushed here after receiving the news, and he fainted on the spot when he saw this scene.

He has a stake in the completion of this fleet, and he will be rewarded accordingly after conquering the continent to the west.

Fortunately, his butler is clever enough to let people report to the top in the name of the master.

The news of the total destruction of the fleet soon spread throughout the Thirteen-Nation Alliance, and when they first heard the news, everyone thought that the other side was joking.

As time went on, more and more people came to Pearl Village.

Tough warriors wiped out the sharks in the sea, and pearling black elves like Joyce were driven out into the sea by the old men to salvage anything useful.

It's just that the Thirteen-Nation Alliance has been studying for a long time and hasn't come up with a clue.

Charles also learned the details of that battle much later.

The opening submarine torpedo attack in the sea made all the large warships ineffective, followed by the fighter seizing air supremacy, then attacking the ultra-long-range purple cabbage and bombers naming the large warships still floating on the sea, and finally Bismeow wagging his tail and attacking the remaining surface ships with surface power.

Purple Cabbage, who had been hit by a shot that evening, was furious, and as the once supreme being on this planet, he led his people to wash away this shame with killing and blood in the middle of the night.
