Mermaid Princess Sophia received a small bag from Huo Ying, which once contained the mermaid tears that Huo Haihu had stolen from the swordmaster on the ship, and there was a sign on the bag, some of which looked like an upside-down anchor.

Sophia carefully recorded the sign on the bag, which was not only the father-killing enemy that Huo Ying wanted to find, but also how Sophia wanted to investigate how humans stole the mermaid's tears from the heavily guarded mermaid mausoleum in the deep sea.

Even if Sophia can't go back to the sea country for the time being, she still thinks that this matter is very important, it is related to the dignity of the mermaid family, and the tears of the mermaid cannot be spread.

However, Chu Jing's mermaid tears, Sophia hadn't figured out how to get it back, after all, he saved himself from the mouth of the doomsday basilisk Leviathan, not to mention, she couldn't take out anything that could be traded.

At dinnertime, Chu Jing announced the idea of going to Baihe Island.

"What?" Xu Qian asked incredulously, "You're going to leave tomorrow?" Lian and Bai Lan haven't fully recovered yet, how can this be!"

Chu Jing said: "We are going to Baihe Island, as far as I know, Baihe Island is a neutral place, a place of freedom and peace, if nothing happens, we should not encounter any danger." ”

"No, I mean I should wait for Lian and Bai Lan to heal from their injuries......"

Lian stretched out her hand to interrupt Xu Qian, and said lightly: "It's the same on the ship, that ship won't have big bumps on the sea, just use the time to recuperate." ”

Bai Lan also said: "I'm fine, it's just some skin trauma, Lotus's wound medicine works so well, I'm almost better." ”

"This ......"

Xu Qian wanted to speak and stopped, since Chu Jing said that he wanted to leave, there must be a reason to leave, since Lian and Bai Lan both agreed, then so be it.

In fact, the reason why Chu Jing wanted to leave Sea Tiger Island as soon as possible was mainly because they had been here for a long time.

According to the coordinates on the nautical chart, Sea Tiger Island is a relatively marginal island, if you want to be able to occupy a favorable position in a month and a half, then it is more reliable to go to the Sun Island in the center of the islands, and before that, they must go to Baihe Island and Loess Island, the two largest islands are very necessary to see.

According to the system, when Chu Jing approached the sealed right foot, he would get a hint, and he didn't know how far this approach was, just stepping on that island, or he had to get close, Chu Jing was in the palm of the sealed left hand, but he didn't immediately get the exact information of being sealed.

When he came to Sea Tiger Island, there were three people, and when he left, there was one more mermaid princess, which is not difficult to understand, after all, the mermaid princess Sophia has a special identity, and if she really wants to stay on Sea Tiger Island, Huo Ying will feel great pressure.

The Dark Sea Dragon Soldiers, the Tide Fishmen, and the Legendary Fishermen all stayed, not that they had little effect on Chu Jing, the main thing was that Sea Tiger Island was not safe, and one more stay would make Chu Jing feel more at ease to leave, this was a promise made by Chu Jing, and he must keep it.

Xiaoba was also left behind, nominally it was the mermaid princess Sophia who gave him an order, but in fact, it was the Sea Dragon Soldier who privately explained Chu Jing's task, and he also rightfully became a part of guarding Sea Tiger Island.

Four people with extremely strong underwater combat capabilities, even if there are three more Sword Masters, as long as they are dragged at sea and do not fight head-on, the enemy will have nothing to do with them.

Just like the 800-mile water Boliang Mountain, a big lake blocks thousands of soldiers and horses.

Anyway, there are not many pirates left on Sea Tiger Island now, and it is quite easy to fight guerrilla warfare.

A simple goodbye, the pirates were still immersed in the previous sadness, not too grand, Chu Jing and his party seemed to be the evil stars of Sea Tiger Island, since they appeared, the brothers of the Sea Tiger Pirates have been dying, and now that they are almost dead, they will leave.

In this situation, the hearts of the pirates are very complicated, and only Huo Ying looks at everything soberly.

The voyage on the sea was long, and I got a lot of supplies on Haihu Island, and the journey was quite pleasant.

The sea breeze of Xi Xi is blowing, and it is still late winter when Chu Jing goes out to sea, and it is already early spring.

Winters overseas are not cold, but spring is a little hotter.

Lian is still wearing a black dress that wraps her whole body, with a mask covering her cheeks, this one looks a little incompatible with the overseas climate, but there is a mystery inside, according to Xu Qian, standing next to Lian, it is cooler than anywhere, and this dress seems to be the product of some kind of alchemy.

Baihe Island is not particularly far away, and after five days of leisurely at sea, I finally saw a huge landmass.

Just like the island, because the island is so big, from a distance, the sea and the sky are all connected by land, not like a small island.

Lian has recovered well in the past few days, often basking in the sun and watching the sea view in strict clothes on the deck, but she herself said that she can't cast spells for the time being.

There is not much left of the thunder stone, after all, most of the goods on Sea Tiger Island are robbed, there are few alchemy materials, and the materials purchased at a high price have also been used up in the previous war, and the combat effectiveness of the lotus has dropped to a great level.

However, there are still a lot of gold and silver in the Chu Jing Mustard Seed Bag, and the sea clan items brought from the bottom of the sea can also be traded for a large amount of money on land, but they can be purchased again.

The strength of an alchemist is directly proportional to the material, which of course also requires basic strength, and the most important thing is to understand the specific alchemy material recipe and superb spell casting methods.

Lotus's life experience though

Chu Jing didn't understand, but her alchemy master must be a very, very powerful alchemist, and she must have had countless precious alchemy materials to hone spell casting techniques before, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate a lotus who could kill the Sword Saint in seconds at such a young age.

"Do you want to be the same as before?" asked Lian.

"Well, but get closer, and when you see other ships in the distance, it's not too late to board the boat. ”

The Blood Bones and Skull Banner are still unreveal, and must be landed in a small boat from a distance.

"Although Baihe Island is a tolerant island, it is a pity that it is still not so friendly to pirates, so you can only take a small boat. Lian added, "There is no strict guard on Baihe Island, and landing on any beach will not cause trouble. ”

A small boat will not be as conspicuous as a pirate ship, but if someone comes from the sea in a small boat, it will still attract a lot of onlookers, after all, it is impossible for a small boat to cross the sea under the threat of huge waves and giant sea monsters.

If you are asked the reason, it will definitely show flaws, but fortunately, there is an alliance of surrounding islands on Baihe Island to manage, in fact, it is not too strict, and there are very few officers and soldiers on patrol, so the problem of small boats can be avoided.

Looking at the mountains and running dead horses, seeing the land, the Bloody Bones also sailed for two hours before seeing the phantom of the boat in the distance.

"That's it, you can't get any closer. Chu Jing said, and then untied a small wooden boat.

"Alas......" Xu Qian sighed, "I'm rowing again, I'm so tired." ”

Most of the time, the current is not the direction of the island, and if the boat wants to land, it must overcome the power of the current, and it takes more than half an hour or even longer to paddle, which makes Xu Qian a little unbearable.

"It's okay, I don't need you this time, I have her. Chu Jing gestured to Sophia.

"Uh......" Mermaid Princess Sophia was stunned and quite dissatisfied, "You think of me at this time!"

During the five days at sea, the mermaid princess could only rest under the cabin, and the underwater structure built by the sea dragon soldiers and the full tide mermaid for Sophia was only used for one day before being transferred to the bottom of the cabin of the Bloody Bone, and only here did you not have to worry about water leakage.

It's just that living in that environment gives Sophia the illusion that she has done something wrong and is locked up by her father.

Sophia must also be going to Baihe Island, her peculiar fishtail must not be revealed in front of people, fortunately it is very simple to hide here, only a wide long skirt is required, the only drawback is that she can't carry a lot of sea water with her, otherwise the skirt will be soaked.

Under the impetus of the mermaid princess to the sea, the speed of the boat was not much faster than that of the Blood Bone, but it saved a lot of effort for the three Chu Jing sitting on the boat.

The boat boarded Momowa Island was a beach where there were not many people, only a few children and young people picking shells and catching crabs on the beach.

They were shocked to notice a small wooden boat on the surface of the sea rushing towards the beach at great speed.

But it's just a shock, and no one will report to the officials because of this kind of thing, not to mention that the alliance only sets up civil protectors in various places, and only protects the basic rights and interests of ordinary civilians, this kind of strange thing does not belong to their jurisdiction.

"Ha, the difference between here and Sea Tiger Island is quite big. ”

Sophia wears a blue robe, and under the fishtail is a layer of water that allows her to move on land, but the rest of the place is more exposed to the air, and she has to soak in the water every once in a while.

She looked around at the ordinary people who were staring at them with their mouths blank, and said with a smile, "The humans here look more like good people. ”

There are no good people on Sea Tiger Island, most of them still have scars in the process of robbery, and Sophia sees the frail and grieving pirates who did not board the ship, and they do look vicious.

As for ordinary people, they were surprised by the speed of the boat, and even more surprised by a stunning beauty who came out of it, Sophia was already very beautiful among the sea mermaids, which aroused the covetousness of the emperor of the Sea Dragon Kingdom, and it was even more irresistible for ordinary people on Baihe Island who had seen how many worlds they had faced.

In contrast, Xu Qian and Bai Lan, who are still in the middle and upper postures, are much inferior in front of her.

"Let's go, even if it's on Baihe Island, we'll still have trouble staying here. Lian said as she walked ahead.

"However, our boat ......" Xu Qian looked at the boat, completely without an idea.

Lian said indifferently: "No, a small boat can be bought anywhere." ”

Xu Qian was a little distressed, a small boat was left here like this, but she still hurried to follow Chu Jing and them.

Sophia also knew that she was incompatible with humans, and she was not willful, so she quickly followed, and said to Chu Jing: "Let's find a place to live first, I feel that my whole body is dry." ”

It's just a few minutes away from the sea, this Sophia.

Chu Jing understood the mermaid princess, after all, it was normal for her whole body to feel uncomfortable when she was exposed to the air for the first time, just like a fish being thrown ashore, she would definitely struggle desperately.

"Baihe Island, I don't know if this is a city or a village?"

"City. Lian said affirmatively, "There were hundreds of countries on Baihe Island, the big ones were only three or five cities, and the small ones had a population of only a few hundred, and these countries were constantly fighting each other and were incompatible with each other. ”

"Maintained

Hundreds of years later, the alien island countries sent a large number of troops to invade Baihe Island, and these hundreds of countries had to unite to resist the enemy, which was the original alliance. Later, the alliance expanded in scale, and even countries other than Baihe Island could participate, but the result was that the stronger the country, the greater the voice in the alliance, and the small countries of Baihe Island completely lost their right to speak, and finally formed a situation where there are countries outside the island to jointly rule Baihe Island. ”

"Of course, in order not to make the residents of Momohe Island dissatisfied, they did not directly participate in the affairs of Momohe Island, but set up civilian protection officers to be responsible for managing the affairs of the common people. ”

"And these tribunes are not big officials and have little power, so Baihe Island will become the most harmless island. ”

"Wow!" exclaimed Sophia, "how do you know so much?

Lian said lightly: "These are all in books, and I don't know what they look like." ”

“......”

Xu Qian was in charge of finding the way, and in this kind of place, it was far better to find the way than to ask for directions, and after Xu Qian used the temptation of two shell coins, she easily asked the locals about the location of the city.

Yes, the island of Momowa is a city, and it is a small town with a long history and a very strong fortification.

Hundreds of such small cities have been handed down on Baihe Island, and even later when the city was built, it also inherited this style, the city is not large, the city walls are very high, and there is a moat, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The castle of Hmowashima Island has a moat, while the castle of Shinkoku does not have a moat, which is mainly related to the water source and also related to the enemy.

Although Baihe Island is an island country, the climate overseas is humid, and there is a rainy season, with a lot of rain and groundwater, so it is not too simple to dig a moat.

The climate of the country is relatively arid, and the whole country has only a few large rivers, such as the desert areas in the north, and drinking water has become a problem, let alone the construction of moats.

Moreover, the main enemy of Shinkoku is the demon beast, or the demon beast that has always been at a disadvantage, build a high city wall, and you can effectively hit the demon beast by placing arrows from above, and there is no need for the existence of a moat at all.

"There are no soldiers defending the city, and Baihe Island is too lax. Chu Jing noticed that there were a lot of people coming and going at the city gate, but there were no guards to check, and the security was too lax.

Lian explained to Chu Jing: "The Hundred Harmony Island Alliance has no enemies, the nearby islands have joined the alliance, and this is an island after all, and the sea is the best defensive barrier." ”

Chu Jing nodded, the situation overseas is indeed different from that of the Lishen Continent, and it is not on a par.

"Quick, find a place to live, my skin is dry. The mermaid princess Sophia kept urging behind Chu Jing, and showed her white arms to Chu Jing, which was indeed a little wrinkled.

The water in the mermaid's body was lost very quickly on land, and it was only half an hour from the sea to the town, and Sophia felt very uncomfortable.

Inns are a place to stay in every city and even in a village, especially in places where the population flow is relatively large.

The loose management system of Momowado Island has created a reputation as a free trade island.

Here, there are no taxes under various names, there is no need to pay all kinds of kickbacks to officials at all levels, only 30% of the profits are paid to the tribunes in the city, and the rest is completely your personal income.

"I'm sorry, guest, but our store is full. ”

Chu Jing and his entourage had already been rejected by the second inn, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a place to live in this small city that was not very close to the harbor.

"Quick, I can't hold on anymore. Sophia showed some pain, the sea tribe is a sea tribe after all, their living environment is the bottom of the sea, not the land, on land, they will quickly lose their mobility.

This is also an important reason why the Sea Tribes have never attacked the land, otherwise, with the area of the sea and the high strength of the Sea Tribes, it can be said that it is easy to destroy land creatures.

Finally, in the third inn, Chu Jing and the others got three rooms, although they were four people, but Lian and Xu Qian didn't mind living together.

"Ah...... It's so comfortable!"

The mermaid princess soaked in the bath bucket, away from the sea, the amount of water she could control was greatly reduced, fortunately, there was no shortage of water on Baihe Island, and it was just a matter of spending a few shell coins to let the shopkeeper make a few buckets of bath water.

Sophia never imagined that the shells that were everywhere at the bottom of the sea could be traded on land, which surprised her.

However, shell currency is not a completely natural shell, and it also has markings made by various countries to prevent ordinary people from producing it themselves.

Actually, it doesn't matter if there are no markings, these shells are as rare as silver or something, and if someone happens to find a silver mine, it can't be said that the silver is worthless.

At this time, Xu Qian exerted her talent to find out the news, and she was originally curious about why there were suddenly so many guests in this small city, and she finally found out the reason.

When the four of them were eating together, Xu Qian said mysteriously: "Do you want to know, in this city, what will happen in the next few days?"

"Big deal?" Chu Jing's brows furrowed deeply, and the things he encountered seemed to be more troublesome and dangerous.

"Don't sell it, say it quickly. Bai Lan urged.

"Auction, there's going to be an auction here!"
