Chapter 229: Landing on the Island

The journey across the ocean not only gave Salian a lot of knowledge, but also a lot of fun, and the expected boredom did not appear at all.

The "Three Saints" sailed for at least half a year at a time, and at the same time carried most of the lawless adventurers and mercenaries, so in order to appease these people, this newly built ship was designed with great care. Casinos, arenas, and taverns are all available, and entertainment facilities are complete so that these people can fully release their excess energy, and when recruiting personnel, they have paid special attention to the issue of the ratio of men and women, and have actively recruited many female adventurers to participate. Such good intentions are truly admirable.

Among them, Salian's most personal experience is that in the first week on the ship, he duel with people twenty times for the girls around him, which made him cry and laugh. But it also taught him that the people who designed the arena were very forward-looking, and that without it, any part of the ship would have become a gladiatorial arena.

In addition, there are even good people who are good at sitting in the bank, who take the initiative to find Salian and want to spend money to manipulate his game. There are so many tricks in this small arena, which Salian didn't expect.

Naturally, the Duke of New Mark ignored them and just sent the gamblers away with his fists. But there were many talented adventurers on board, and those who dared to venture into the New World were not just arrogant. After the chaos of the first week, Salian would sometimes go to the arena to watch the matches, and he would also try his skills on stage when he met an opponent who could fight in one fight.

There is such an adventurer from the Divine Grace Empire who is extraordinary, and he fought Salian in the ring for more than 100 rounds before he was defeated. His name is Ritter, and he is a freelancer in the Imperial Forest, and his family has long since fallen into the middle of the road.

Salian developed a love for this man, and one day invited him to eat and drink in the tavern.

"Your Excellency, your martial arts are indeed worthy of your reputation. I've heard that you were invited to attend the tournament held at the founding ceremony of Menihao last year, but it's a pity that you didn't go because of your busy schedule. ”

During their casual conversation, they talked about a lot of news about the Empire's martial arts, and Salian was also interested.

"Oh, what's the pity?"

"You don't care about the reward of 100,000 gold coins, of course I understand, but you lost a thousand points!"

"Points, I haven't heard of this name, what's the point?"

"Haha, so you don't know yet! Points are converted into a number from the results of all the people who participated in the competition, which can fairly reflect the strength of this person. This was the first idea of His Highness Max, and he also set up a special department for this purpose to count the results of each participant in the competition. Now it has been promoted to the major fixed and temporary tournaments in the empire, and I heard that it will be extended to the entire Western continent in the future, and several Itkanria bettors have contacted His Highness. ”

"Oh, it's kind of interesting, but if one person fights hard and gets points based on numbers, doesn't that reflect the real strength?"

"Hehe, rest assured, His Highness Max has already thought of this, and the higher the score, the less points will be scored in the competition. ”

"Well, to a certain extent, it can be used to crack down on crazy characters. ”

"Yes, the Founding Tournament is the first time that everyone has earned points, so it's all in full, the first wandering knight gets a thousand points, and your famous subordinate 'Karakuri Mercenary' Myer gets eight hundred points. Neither of them has competed in another tournament since, but they are still in the top 20, and they only need one major to get back into the top 10. And I made it to the third round in the bottom half of the city-building competition, so I also finished in the top 50. ”

"Oh, that's good!" Salian didn't think much of him, probably losing to Garona.

"So it's a shame you didn't participate, I don't think you're under the championship because I lost to him. ”

It turns out that he lost to Sebastian, and Salian asks Ritter why he went to the New World.

"Your Excellency, if there is a big chaos today, we will either be robber knights, trouble the escort teams of princes or wealthy merchants on the avenues or paths, and then join the knight alliance to raise the anti-flag to the empire. Either they joined the newly formed Mobile Division of the Imperial Central Army and became an 'Imperial Servant' to suppress the petty nobles, peasants, miners, and burghers for the Emperor, so that they would have to fight with their relatives and friends. A few friends and I didn't want to participate in the civil war of the Empire, so we didn't participate in any of them, but we couldn't stay at home, so we had to cross the ocean, out of sight. ”

Sally thought to himself, it turned out to be a group of people who were running away from the problem, but their situation was really helpless.

Ritter also inquired about the purpose of the Salian land.

"Your Excellency, why did you go to the New World, did you want to expand the empire?"

"It's a pity that the empire is currently unstable, and I don't have the idea of expanding yet. To tell you the truth, I went to the New World to build a weapon, because in the future, our Divine Grace Empire will definitely compete with the Kingdom of FranΓ§ois or the Turde Empire for world domination, and I must have a weapon that at least does not fall behind. ”

"There are artifacts in the New World?"

"Hehe, it's not the artifact itself, it's the materials from which it is made. ”

"I see, Your Excellency, thank you for the wine. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Salian's luck was good, until the "Trinity" entered the archipelago of the New World, they did not encounter any storms, in the small island of "St. Doras", which was first discovered by Mermbus, they docked for supplies, which already had a mature port system, and the supplies collected from the New World would be collected in smaller ships, and then transported back to the "Old World" by fixed large cross-sea sailing ships, which the people of the island called the Western Continent.

The Trinity continued its voyage for a week, arriving at the destination of Salian and his entourage, Kuba Island, an uninhabited island named after Merenbu's pet dog.

"Your Excellency, we are scheduled to be back here again in two weeks' time, so please be prepared. Captain Julio informed Salian of the Trinity's plans for the future.

"Goodbye! Captain Julio. If I don't succeed in two weeks, there's no point in me staying. ”

Watching the Trinity disappear from the sea level in front of them, Salian and the others are now located on a sandy beach on the west side of Kuba Island, which is now in a state of isolated survival, according to Bell Grigel, a well-known wilderness survival expert of the Long-eared people of Samwang Island. Because they did not know the situation on the island, they did not dare to go deeper, but only set up tents at the junction of the beach and the tropical rainforest, and used it as a place to stay.

After resting, Hekiamus silently gathered her mind and expanded her perception far away, exploring the entire island.

"Salian, I feel that there are several extremely powerful auras on this island, and there are countless other threatening auras, this is really a place full of uncertainties!"

"Well, I also feel that the Mana energy on the island is very strong, at least several times that of the Old Continent, and it is naturally able to support the energy replenishment rate required by those powerful beings. However, you won't be discovered by them if you explore like this, right?!"

"This is one of the exclusive abilities of our Anozm demons, and the dragons of the abyss or other powerful creatures cannot sense it. Even in the main material plane, you must know that I discovered you when you first entered the Levy Fortress!"

"Yay. Unfortunately, we don't have an exact map of the island, so we can only mark the general location for the time being, so let's have a good rest tonight and go to the nearest target tomorrow to look for opportunities. ”

Salian sat comfortably on the fine sand, marking the large blank map according to Hekiamus's description, while leisurely sipping rum, and the girls were completely confident, which gave the girls confidence. The new Duke Mark, who has gone through countless ups and downs, has reached the peak of both psychology and physiology.

The next morning, after erasing all traces of the previous night's rest, the group stepped into the vast rainforest of the island, following the goal found by Hekiamus, all the way north to the thorns.

"Old friend Vigri. Most of the flowers and trees here are things I've never seen before, and I don't know if they can be used as food. ”

I saw that the beautiful woman of the Long-eared Clan, Kevani, opened her cherry mouth and stretched out her tongue, and there was a pair of mouthparts and a terrifying one-eyed on this tongue.

"Hehe, it's not that hard, I can tell if they're poisonous with just a light touch. ”

This small team was the product of careful consideration by Duke New Mark, and he brought the hell vines that captured the elves' bodies with them the right choice. It just took a lot of effort to get Miss Fernanda to accept the terrifying monster in front of her. Thankfully, the little nun was relieved to find out that her good friend Tiates had a few friendly conversations with Vigri, but that she hadn't been eaten.

In this way, they found that the hard fruit of a tall tree on the island was very good, and when they cracked its solid shell, the juice inside was refreshing and delicious. There is also a layer of flesh wall, which can replenish the fiber required by the human body.

"Shhhhh There are two huge forces of energy clashing ahead. Herkiamus, who had taken the lead, turned and told everyone to slow down.

"Well, I feel it too, let's go quietly. Salian said.

Everyone restrained their breath and slowly advanced under the cover of the dense jungle. Salian found a good position, and after brushing aside a few leaves, he saw a battle going on with an unusual atmosphere. It seems that both sides are of the wurm race, and the vicious monster on the left is about six meters tall, walking on two feet, with a stubby tail, and unusually small forelimbs, and even looks a little ridiculous, but as long as you look at the huge head, no one can laugh. The head was almost a quarter the size of its entire body, and a large mouth took up most of it. When he opened his mouth, the white sharp teeth that were dense during this period were even more terrifying.

The giant beast on the right is not as powerful as its opponent, but it is also impressively large, it is about eight meters long on all fours, its body and limbs are extremely thick, and the three long horns on its head and the huge head shield are impressive.

The two beasts must have fought since they met in the woods, and the crushed vegetation around them showed some clues, and the smell of blood in the air and the bloody wounds on their bodies showed the severity of the battle. At this time, they were shouting at each other twenty meters apart, but they did not continue to fight, it seemed that the previous round of battle had exhausted their physical strength, and now they were gathering strength, or waiting for the opponent's flaws to deliver a fatal blow. Salian thought so, and said to Hekiamus beside him.

"The tall wurm on the left should be a predator, his fangs are good for shredding flesh, and the stout guy on the right must be a herbivore, and the battle doesn't seem to be over so easily. Can you use their bodies as materials for living weapons?"

"No, they don't have a spirit, they're just strong bodies. However, just by seeing them, you know that there must be a lot of exotic beasts on this island. ”

"Well, I think so too, it seems that it's not just the dragon, we may have to get some other good things, let's solve the two in front of us, and see what strange treasures they have!"

Salian then turned to Aphroa and said, "My little kitten, you deal with that tall wurm and let me see if you've been improving lately." ”

The New Mark Duke's Shadow Warrior nodded, smiling and removing his flail from his back.

"Old friend Vigri, how about you try to deal with that stout fellow. ”

"Yes, I have not had a short time to obtain this shell, it should be completely fused, and today I will see how strong the combat power is. ”

"Then the rest of us are watching the show. ”

In order to make the two little girls see more clearly, and to reduce the risk of being affected by the battle, Salian put his arm around Tiates in one hand and Fernanda in the other, jumped onto the crown of a giant tree, and sat down on the branch.
