Chapter 483: Mermaids May Appear in the Sewers
In this way, everyone spent two days in fear, and Sigma did not take the initiative to cause any trouble, which made Isaac, who had never let down his guard, a little strange...... This paladin seems to be abiding by the truce made by the two?
"Soon we will enter one of the patrol areas of the Sea Tribes, and in order to better communicate with humans, and to serve and protect the insured vessels, these species that live in the sea have also established land settlements on the islands and reefs along the way, and have demarcated service areas around them, providing services for supplies, resting and temporary stationing. Survivors who have been shipwrecked and rescued by the Sea Clan for various reasons will also be treated and cared for here...... In short, they have been doing this marine insurance business for many years, and their experience and services have been perfected. Isaac came to the bow of the ship again and said indifferently, "You have been honest for the past two days, which is really surprising to me...... But I advise you, don't think about any crooked ways, the Sea Clan has never participated in the internal disputes of the Terrans, and has a very light view of the concept of good and evil of human beings, my pirate group has never attacked the insurance customers of the Sea Clan, so they will not help you deal with me, even if you pull out the tiger skin of the Holy See as a banner, it is useless. Hmph, these fish and turtles living in the sea are still alien to humans, and they can't wait for us to fight to the death......"
Sigma raised her eyebrows: "Anyway, when it comes to the Sea Clan in the past two days, your tone is very disdainful, what's the matter, you have a bad impression of them?" β
Isaac snorted again, and instead of answering, he asked, "Then let me ask you, what is your impression of the mermaid?" β
"My impression of the merfolk...... Sigma replied, touching her chin and following the memory in her head, "that's pretty broad...... But overall, the mermaid girls are basically cute? Spoony? Stay natural? Some merfolk clans seem to maintain strange customs? For example, if you are found by a human being, you will be sentenced to death, otherwise you will marry this human or something? β
"It's all wrong, and what's the last one? Anyway, I'd love to jump into the sea and try it......"
Sigma's dog eyes lit up instantly, and he instigated him: "You jump, jump quickly, maybe there is a cute, kind and natural mermaid Zhengtai who rescued you, but because you are facing the threat of death penalty after you see the real thing, the mermaid Zhengtai's family has to tie you to the house in order to save the baby son, and force you to marry the mermaid Zhengtai, you say how to get married with the same gender but different races, but Zhengtai's family all say that both male and female are fish tails, what does it mean for you to entangle the gender anyway, you can't insert it below, right, And the mermaid is beautiful and has the mouth above, and the boobs or something you will be a little bit balabala, you think about it for a long time, and you think that your father-in-law and mother-in-law are very reasonable, so you agreed, but this deformed marriage has caused an uproar among the sea clan, and the mermaid is a good friend of his childhood sweetheart and male admirers from all walks of life are going to explode you and ...... quickly"
"In every sense, one sentence from me can instantly complete this kind of heart-wrenching plot unfolding, you are really hopeless......"
"Oh, by the way, there's a little bit ......," Sigma added, holding up his finger, "the merfolk seem to have a very wide range, from the Seto Inland Sea to the sacred land of Mary Joy, and near the maelstrom - ah, by the way, I heard that some mermaids still live in the sewers......"
ββ¦β¦ Where did you learn this ability to talk nonsense? β
Isaac shook his head: "Listen, young man, it seems that you have too many misunderstandings about the impression of the Sea Clan. As I said a few days ago, they have established their insurance companies in the Great Seas, working with the Terrans, directly participating in the economic activities of the Great Seas, providing security for the ships that sail through the Great Seas...... I've always thought that this was a pretty brilliant decision made by the wise men of the Sea Clan. β
He looked at the rolling sea and said softly, "Interests...... It is not the sea that flows in this sea, but the rolling gold coins, the wealth brought by ocean activities and commercial voyages, the development and transportation of overseas resources, the economic exchanges with the elves, and the commercial trade within humans, ocean navigation is the most economical mode of transportation, and the sea tribe participates in it. They escort passing ships and charge a reasonable commission, and they are the undisputed masters of the seas, whether humans, elves, dragons, dwarves, orcs...... None of them can be compared. After all, we are the children of the earth, and our bodies make it impossible for us to rule the sea, at least not yet...... On the contrary, we are still dependent on the sea, and more and more forces are aware of the great benefits of sea trade, but we are so vulnerable above the sea, in the face of powerful natural disasters, in the face of ferocious sea beasts......"
"So, the Sea Clan appeared, and it appeared just right...... Although the countries opened up shipping routes and invested manpower and material resources to maintain them, they were not as powerful as the sea tribes had in the sea. They have the power to protect us, and they have the power to subvert us overnight, destroying all the ships that sail on the seas...... Do you know what that means? Isaac's gaze became extremely deep, "This means that the more prosperous the commercial activities in the great sea, the deeper our entanglement with the sea tribe, the interests can make people stupid, make people short-sighted, make people stupid, make people selfish, the sea tribe can send all the ships sailing on the great sea to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish overnight, and can block all commercial activities here more lightly, which means that the economic lifeblood of countless interest groups is in the hands of this group of guys who are full of fishy smell." β
"At that time, the conflict with the Sea Tribes means that the interests of countless people and groups will be greatly threatened and infringed upon...... No matter which force of the Terran has a conflict with the Sea Clan, as long as the Sea Clan breaks off the trade route, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the upper class of the human race, and the dissatisfaction and resistance from within the human race will make the forces that conflict with the Sea Clan be blocked on all sides, and the wolf will be unbearable. Isaac sneered, "That's for sure, I can almost imagine the ugly faces of the so-called bigwigs who have lost their money...... Even if the Sea Clan takes the initiative to provoke a dispute with a certain force in the future, countless big people will emerge who focus on the overall situation, so persuade the provoking force to tolerate it first...... Anyway, it is not they who suffer, and their interests cannot be harmed anyway...... You say, is this a good move? β
He snorted again: "Even if a full-scale conflict breaks out between the Terrans and the Sea Clan, the Sea Clan will deal a heavy blow to the human economy at the first opportunity...... There is never kindness and warmth between this kind of race, and the Sea Clan opened an insurance company in the great sea area and took the initiative to entangle with the interests of the Terran, just to prevent it from happening, after all, they are full of fear for the Terran Race, which is expanding so fast and has such a strong development ability. The Holy Dragon United Bank opened by the dragon clan also has this kind of consideration, hmph, it's really wonderful, in comparison, the elves of Xia Dusk Island are just stupid ......"
Sigma nodded understandingly, "...... By the way, why are you telling me this? β
"It's just casual talk...... Although you have not identified yourself, with your age and the intensity of this Holy Light, you must be a high-profile young man in the Holy See, and you will have a bright future and may become the decision-maker of the Holy See...... You clergy are good at everything, but it's a little naΓ―ve. Isaac snorted coldly, "Now the countries have increased their military investment in the great sea area, and even contacted several large chambers of commerce, trying to establish their own maritime security forces, and even contacting the Holy Dragon United Bank, just to deal with the upright conspiracy of the Sea Clan, but the effect is not great...... After all, the merchant is profit-oriented, stupid and short-sighted, compared to the rolling gold coins and the safer sea clan insurance, the so-called racial future and overall situation concept is not even worth a copper coin......"
He looked at Sigma with a strange expression, "So, don't let your guard down, Mr. Paladin." β
