Chapter Ninety-Seven: Morton City

Divine beings are the most special kind of beings in the world of Asto.

Their strength is high and low, and the strongest is naturally the gods. The gods are the masters of the Force throughout the world of Asto, surpassing all mortal beings. The low-level types of divine creatures are much more complicated, including those divine attendants, transcendent creatures worshipped by intelligent beings, or various totems of primitive tribes, which can be called divine creatures.

Other divine beings come from the favor of the World Force, and they are born with a hint of divinity, such as Ann.

No matter what kind of divine creature it is, they will be endowed with some kind of divine talent by their divinity, and the divine talent is so powerful that the creature that owns it can easily crush the existence of the same rank.

In a way, Zod is also a special kind of divine creature.

"Ann is a good girl, and it seems that she has a soft spot for your Excellency. The old fishman Water Beard stood beside Zuo De and said seriously, with an expression that you have to treat her well.

Legend has it that Ann's mother was raided to the island by pirates and later rescued by the great fish-man hero Black Rock, so Ann's mother married Black Rock. ”

Zode was a little speechless, but still attracted by Ann's story, and he asked:

"Oh, then, what about later?"

"Black Rock led the fishmen of the Darkscale Tribe in rebellion against the tyranny of the Naga, and died in the Storm Strait. Her mother had no choice but to bring Ann back to her village, but the villagers did not approve of her. Her mother had to live alone on a small island with Ann......"

"You seem to know Ann very well. As far as I know, you reef tribes must be a long way from here. Zode asked curiously.

"Huohuo, Anke is the pride of our fish-man clan, and she is worthy of being the daughter of the hero Black Rock. Ann has a special ability, she is the darling of the sea, and with her own abilities, she has helped us fish-men countless times, and even thwarted the plots of the Naga army. The fish people are telling the story of her deeds. The old fishman opened his mouth and said proudly.

"But, then, don't you mind that she likes a human being, and maybe she'll marry me, and henceforth stay away from the sea. Zode asked deliberately.

"Alas," said the old fish-man, with a sigh,

"Ann is special, she's both a fish-man and a human. No matter how much we look forward to it, Ann always has a time when she finds happiness on her own, and we have no right to interfere with her choices. So, please be kind to her, Your Excellency!" the old fishman looked at Zuo De solemnly, as if a father had confessed his daughter's affection.

"Hey, hey, I'm just kidding. You won't take it seriously, will you? besides, she's still so ......young," Zuo De was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained.

"Ann is 13 years old, which is not young. In our fish-man tradition, girls of this age are already mothers of several children. ”

"No, it's bigger than me, you can't see it at all. ”

"Do you mind a girl older than you?"

"I didn't mean that anymore, I mean ......"

“......”

“......”

In the midst of this pleasant exchange, the entire Northland fleet set sail again for Morton City of the Free City-States Alliance.

......

If you look down from the sky, along the southernmost boundary of the vast Northland Elf Kingdom, through the vast Chanting Forest, and over the endless Temir Mountains, you can see the vast Ryan River. Then cross the fertile steppe elf kingdom in the middle, bypass the silent dark swamp, and officially step into the territory of the south.

The entire southern territory is even larger, originally under the jurisdiction of goblins, but since the destruction of the goblin civilization, all races have begun to move independently.

Although on the surface, the territory of the south is now under the joint jurisdiction of the Elven Holy Court and the Sea Elves. However, the Elven Sanctuary in the south has an even sparse elven population, and it is simply unable to manage the vast territory.

As for the sea elf territory along the coast, because the sea elves have been busy fighting against the Naga for a long time, they don't have too much energy to manage.

That's why the policy of mandate has emerged, and the Southern Free City-State Alliance is a special existence born out of this normality.

Compared to other races, elves trust humans a little more. This area in the southwest originally belonged to the thirteen cities of the most elite of the goblin civilization, and most of them were entrusted with humans as city lords to manage them. As long as these cities pay enough taxes every year, the Elven Sanctuary and the Sea Elf Kingdom will not interfere with them too much.

And the city of Morton, which Bilorinli will inherit, is located at the southernmost point of the Free City-State Alliance.

Built just off the coast, Morton has a huge natural harbor and maritime trade is the city's largest source of income.

The city of Morton has twenty-seven estates, large and small, and a mine rich in gold and some rare minerals.

The territory of Morton City has a population of more than 80,000 people, which is already relatively large among all the city-states.

When Belorinli's fleet sailed into the massive port, it was a scene of prosperity. Countless sailboats, large and small, come and go in and out of the harbor, and on the docks, more than a dozen giant goblin cranes, making a strong roar of "spit, spit, spit", are constantly working, grabbing the cargo on board to the platform, where there are more people waiting to unload.

Farther afield, you can see the city's white houses and towering towers.

The huge "Black Dove" is a rare giant sea ship even in the southern seas, and such a behemoth cannot sail directly into the inner harbor.

So Belorinli sent a few messengers to drive a small dinghy on the calm green waters, with layers of V-shaped ripples, towards the city of Morton.
