Chapter 14: A Chance Encounter in a City on the Sea

"Where the earth, the sea, and the sky meet,

There is a legendary bay.

That's the cradle of all dreams,

That's where you can turn the sea into gold......"

Golden Bay, Sinai Peninsula. Located southwest of the Holy Hyrule Empire, it is located on the edge of the Lyra Sea, which happens to be the frontier of the sea from the main continent to the other two continents. The peninsula's excellent natural location gave it excellent commercial conditions, and it was already an important hub for connecting thousands of miles of sea trade routes when elves and orcs ruled the land.

The current Sinai Peninsula is ruled by a merchant alliance called the "Plantagenet Federation". In the era when humans rebelled against the rule of alien races such as orcs and elves, countless heroes emerged among the human race. Although the Church of the Supreme God has always preached that it was the glorious Holy See that saved mankind, in fact, it was the Mayan Temple of Daisetsuzan that had existed long before the Glorious Calendar, and countless human heroes who came and went.

And after these heroes successfully overthrew the rule of the alien race, they established their own countries and families, and became the royal family and blood nobles who now rule the countries.

Among the countries of the continent, the founder of the "Plantagenet Federation" is very peculiar, his founders are not powerful knights who have fused blood, not magicians who have mastered emergency knowledge, but a group of mortals, a group of merchants who have mastered finance and economics. Their predecessor was actually a commercial alliance that had existed since the time of the Orc Empire, and those humans who served the orc nobles in the form of servants and were in charge of commerce had already secretly formed a secret alliance.

In the war for human hegemony on the continent, these merchants secretly provided various materials and intelligence support for the human resistance, although they did not really kill the enemy on the battlefield to win, but they also made great contributions to the rise of mankind.

So, when the human rebels succeeded in overthrowing alien rule and establishing continental hegemony. At the meeting of the Sages held at the Mayan Temple of the Great Snow Mountain, when the first Sages rewarded them with a fair meritorious service, these merchants, who were active behind the human army and provided an endless supply of supplies for the coalition army, shrewdly chose the Sinai Peninsula on the coast of this golden bay as their fiefdom.

Millennial years, under the rule of one of the most brilliant businessmen on the entire continent, along the entire Golden Bay coast, has been

It became the largest commercial and trade hub on the mainland, and it is said that in the most glorious years, the annual income of the Plantagenet Business Alliance was greater than the annual tax revenue of the four empires combined.

Therefore, the entire Gold Coast has become a recognized wealth paradise for all intelligent creatures on the mainland, and it is a real golden coast.

Now in control of the Plantagenet Federation are nineteen huge merchant families led by the famous "Plantagenet Family". These families, or chambers of commerce, are all wealthy and well-connected business predators, and after nearly a thousand years of hard work and weaving, they have compiled an extremely large economic and personal network throughout the continent.

Although it does not have the sacred status rooted in the hearts of all human beings like the Mayan Temple of the Great Snow Mountain, the many believers of the Supreme God Church throughout the continent, and the terrifying strongest combat power of the Dragon Nation in the East. But the Plantagenet Federation still has a significant position on the mainland.

It is a paradise for all merchants, and a place of commerce where everything can be traded.

"If you love someone, send her to the Plantagenet Federation. If you hate someone, send her to the Plantagenet Federation too! ”

This proverb that shoots across the continent vividly illustrates the love-hate nature of the Plantagenet Federation.

The slightly fishy cool breeze on the sea blows away the sultry heat of October, the waves hit the causeway from time to time, splashing countless snow-white foam, the sea and the sky in the distance, the birds wandering, the sharp boats passing through the near, and the arched bridge seats.

"Pearl of the Sea" Vilnys, this is a beautiful city with a temperament that is not in harmony with the Plantagenet Federation. Built on a shallow beach 4 kilometers offshore, this city is composed of more than 100 small islands, and has beautiful names such as "Pearl of the Sea", "City of Water", "City of 100 Islands", "City of a Thousand Bridges" and so on.

It's a city with countless cobweb-like waterways, as well as many more ships and bridges. It is like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves, full of poetic romance.

"I'm going to meet an old friend, you can walk around the city by yourself!"

After arriving at this beautiful water city, St. Themis suddenly said to Dugu Feng: "If you feel tired, go to an inn with honey grilled fish to rest!" ”

After speaking, St. Themis left Dugufeng and left, leaving her alone in this strange city.

"What an irresponsible abductor!"

After St. Themis was gone, Dugu Feng, who had been acting as lifeless as a puppet, suddenly shook his head and sighed softly.

It is extremely dangerous to abandon a teenage girl on the streets of a city, especially a commercial port under the rule of the Plantagenet Commonwealth, such as Vilnis.

Although she is only in her teens, her angel-like face has begun to show her peerless elegance, and standing alone on the street naturally attracts countless coveted eyes.

At this time, Dugu Feng had already changed out of the court dress from the royal family, she was just wearing an ordinary flowered long skirt, with a wide-brimmed flower cloth hat on her head, and her long white and golden hair was only tightly tied with a blue ribbon, looking like a young lady who had accidentally separated from the wealthy merchant family.

Soon, there were a lot of covetous eyes full of various meanings fell on Dugu Feng, no matter how dreamlike this pearl of the sea is, but in fact, as a commercial harbor city, there will never be a shortage of gangsters, thieves, goldfingers, as well as daring sailors, pirates, robbers, and even some nobles and merchants with special hobbies.

"Little girl, why are you standing here alone, your family?"

"Come with your uncle, uncle will take you to your family......"

Because in front of the public, many people with ghosts are inconvenient to do it directly, so they quietly surround and try to take this beautiful little girl away like a treasure!

"Hey, Miss Christine, I've finally found you!"

Just when a person saw that Dugu Feng had been silent, and finally couldn't help but forcibly pull her away with his hand, a young man in a dress suddenly broke in, he directly blocked between the others and Dugu Feng, and said to Dugu Feng in a very familiar tone: "Oh my God, Miss Christine, why are you so careless!" Your father, Mr. Meghan, was worried, but luckily ......"

Those who secretly surrounded Dugufeng couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at this uninvited guest who suddenly broke in with a fierce light. However, when he saw the eye-catching black windbreaker of the other party, and the black badge engraved with the balance on the chest of the windbreaker, he suddenly quickly reined in the fierce light.

A black trench coat with a black badge engraved on the scales, a unique attire for the city's judges and prosecutors. A judge or a prosecutor, that's not something they can provoke as little people who walk in the shadows of the city.

"I'm sorry, sir, but she's your friend! The streets of Vilnes are a labyrinth, and it's easy to get lost. Luckily, luckily, we're ready to help the poor girl! You're so lucky to have found her......"

These people hurriedly snorted, explained, and retreated without a trace.

The young judge or prosecutor looked at these people with a stern and warning gaze, looking like a dignified judge giving a warning to these people walking in the dark, but in fact he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw them withdraw voluntarily.

Beneath any glossy exterior, there will always be shadows and evil. As a probationary prosecutor, he has seen too many evils, and there are more evils that he can't do anything about, but within the scope of his ability, he still hopes to do his best to prevent all evils from happening.

"You're a good person!"

Dugu Feng glanced at the young man who suddenly broke in and relieved her, shook his head, and said in an ethereal and unfluctuating voice: "But good people may not necessarily have a good fate!" ”

This is an ordinary person without the slightest extraordinary power, and his inner thoughts and future fate naturally can't hide from Dugu Feng's eyes. This is indeed a kind-hearted, self-motivated, and not lacking in wisdom, but unfortunately, sometimes fate does not give him a kind future.

"Huh!"

The young prosecutor didn't expect that the little girl he kindly saved would give him such an evaluation, he couldn't help but look at it with a wry smile, and said, "Okay! In many cases, good intentions may not be rewarded! However, I think that it will always be of some use to the world to help those in need as much as we can without harming our own interests. ”

"Yes!"

In the expectation of the young prosecutor, this cold-looking little girl nodded in agreement: "Good people may not have a good future." But doing a little more good is always useful to the world. Your future should not be all about blood and revenge! ”

The young prosecutor couldn't help but be a little puzzled to hear, but this is a world where there are extraordinary powers, age and gender do not accurately judge a person's strength, as a prosecutor who has seen and experienced a lot of things, he knows very well that there are many seemingly inconspicuous characters in this world There are incredible extraordinary powers.

"Alright! It doesn't look like you're separated from your family! ”

The young prosecutor couldn't help but smile, seeing this little girl so determined and calm, he somewhat understood that maybe he was in trouble, maybe it was not this little girl who was in danger just now, but the scum who should have been in White Rock Prison a long time ago!

"So, Miss Wizard with mystical powers, do you have any places to go? Either way, it's too dangerous for a little girl like you to walk alone on the streets in this city. ”
