In July 1644, Dark's party left the vast southern jungle in search of the Steel Rock Slime and headed for the Ara Peninsula.

This time, the two detachments of the first detachment of the 1643 mercenary team combined to operate, and the six backbones of Dark, George, Isabella, Royce, Riley, and Isis took a sea ship and went straight to Umlim, a seaport at the southern tip of the Ara Peninsula.

Before parting, the High Priest of Novo Tenotirant Zomuk and Marshal Yupanki personally went to the port to see them off, and said goodbye in tears.

As the prince's staunchest supporter, Yupanki fought to the end even in the most critical situations, participated in all the major battles of the founding of Tenotirán, and had high prestige in the Atlas and Tenotiran armies.

Ramos, full of glory and wealth, became the chief alchemist of New Tenottiran, and was appreciated by King Atavar to preside over the research and development of alchemy, and he would never worry about money for the rest of his life.

Following Ramos, Cheberkeley and Belliana devoted themselves to the study of alchemy, determined not to step out of their study or laboratory again, and it is said that they had already achieved initial results in the combination of witchcraft, herbalism and alchemy.

The Turançova tribe paid a terrible price for the protection of the prince, and the patriarch was killed in battle, leaving only sixty people in the whole tribe, and the king of Atavar organized these loyal guards into a guard, led by the old mandrill Barak, who was also proficient in the art of transfiguration.

Rosenthal, the former king of Tenotiran, served as the governor of the South, overseeing the Thundering River Loop and the vast jungles to the south. His son, Tabrich, is in charge of the development and extension of aquatic nurseries, working to solve the food problem.

Anduri, the elite river god guard of the former Tenotiran Naval Army, commanded the naval army and was responsible for the defense of inland rivers. Montreich, the Faceless, is in charge of policing and prosecutorial duties.

Finally, the Cult of Darkness warrior Enya is in charge of the Tenotiran branch of the Cult of Darkness.

Duck sighed softly, "Everyone has arranged it." ”

George laughed, "Sounds a little reluctant. ”

Royce looked at it pretendedly: "Isabella and Riley went out to breathe, then dare to say it." As he spoke, he sneered, "Dark, I know who you can't let go, remind me, it's the Spider Empress." ”

Dark's embarrassment: "Royce!"

George said: "Enya's last molt finally chose the human form, physiologically, she is already a completely human, and she is still a powerful human being. It's not uncommon for humans and non-humans to have feelings or anything. That's what happened to my parents. ”

Duck snorted, "Thank you for your understanding—no kidding! George, I was just about to ask you, how did she join the Cult of the Dark God?"

"I told her that you are a member of the Cult of the Dark God, and if you join in, even if you can't marry you, you can still fight side by side. ”

"Dude, can I call you a jerk?"

"Otherwise, let her lead the giant spider clan and the humans to continue the war? Atavar has already initially integrated the southern jungle, and its strength is already very strong, if we don't have effective counterbalances, we can only work in vain. ”

Royce thought thoughtfully: "So a spider queen who will turn her face at any time will let this new emperor know that she must be measured in her actions?"

"The Cult of the Dark God is still weak, and a dictator who is too smart or too stupid will ruin it. So, before it grows stronger and shows its strength, it must maintain a certain deterrent effect. Enya is the best candidate. As for feelings, Duck, she told me before she left that she would always wait for you. ”

Duck was in a hurry: "This and this and this ......"

"It's possible, she's lived much longer than you, and the rate of aging is almost negligible for you. You can always come back to her. The way she looks at you is clearly saying that you are the whole world. ”

Isabella poked her head into the cabin curiously, "What is the whole world?"

George smiled: "It's nothing, what we lose is just chains, what we gain will be the whole world." ”

"Well, it sounds like you've missed some great discussion, come out and see, Umlim Harbor has arrived!"

The three men in the cabin walked out onto the deck, and in front of them was a beautiful lake and mountains.

Duck was surprised: "Isn't the Ara Peninsula a desert? I thought it was the sand of the sea and the sand, and it was yellow and clear." ”

"It's not surprising," says George, "that there is the highest mountain range in the peninsula, the Kharin Mountains, where the snow melts to form irrigated areas, and on either side of the mountains are the most abundant aquatic plants on the peninsula. There are many cities scattered around. Not only that, but the meltwater has been flowing to the northeast, forming an oasis in the desert and extending to the depths of the desert, and it is said that if you have the courage to go all the way east, through thousands of miles of Hanhai Desert, you can reach the Vedic Empire, and further east, it is the legendary Golden Land Silk Country. ”

Duck laughed, "I'm not that interested. Let's talk about slimes, steelstone slimes will definitely not appear in easy places. ”

"It's hard to say. If the Thunder Slime is a master of wind spells, the Steel Rock Slime is the king of earth spells. According to the slime periodic table, the Steel Rock Slime must have an extremely hard shell and dense texture, because water evaporates too easily in the desert environment, and it must firmly control every drop of water in its body. ”

Isabella said, "So it's possible to hide under the desert where a sandstorm roars, or it might take a bath under a pond in an oasis?"

"That's right, it's not like the Thunder Slime this time, except for its name and basic attributes, we know almost nothing about its form and habits, and we have to ask the locals about it. Ladies and gentlemen, the customs and habits here are very different from those of Doland, so be careful when you speak and do things. ”

Royce said: "It is not uncommon for these Arabis to believe in the creator god Kara, and pray three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and keep their mouths open and closed. We Dolanders do have to be careful when operating on their turf. Everyone's hearts are also relaxed, and there is no need to worry about some small unpleasantness. ”

Isis had fought bloody battles with the Arabs, and did not have the slightest affection for the Arabs, so she glared at her eyes and said fiercely: "Death to the one who draws the sword!"

Dak laughed and touched the little girl's head, and said, "But after the last Holy Guard War, the relationship between Dorand and Ara has recovered quite well, and I see that there are a lot of Dorand merchants on this ship." ”

George said, "Not bad. The internal hematopoietic function of Aara is not as good as that of Doland, and it is divided into more than a dozen factions, quarreling endlessly, and is now in the recovery period. Both countries are exhausted and need to recuperate. Relationship détente, that's a certainty. Entering as a businessman, the local officials will not embarrass us. Beware of fanatical extremists. ”

Riley said: "It's easy, let's act collectively, don't go out alone, do more things, talk less, this should be no problem, right? Uh, by the way, what about the language? We don't know Arabi." ”

"No problem, I've improved the slime earbuds, which help us automatically translate and make sure everyone is speaking the true Araba language. ”

"Great!" Riley excited, "Sister Lala and I have been wanting a large flower brocade scarf for a long time!

Everyone was speechless for a while. Riley was already pulling Isabella and dragging Isis to figure out how much to buy when she got off the boat.

Dark's heart moved.

"George, can you use a slime instead of a brain to control your body?"

George smiled: "The method that Kuruma used to control King Curantino, if we modify it a little, won't we be able to serve ourselves?"

"Will it be like the hapless Curantino, with a rotten head?"

"Don't worry, we didn't drink so much messy medicine. Alright, guys, pack your things and get off the boat. ”
