"You slackers! Get up for me! As soon as Manid left, you became pirates again?"

Sailing in a canal under the warm tropical sun, the Goshawk sailed in a canal with other smaller sailing ships, and since a few weeks ago, Nabal had climbed onto the Heart of the Ocean deck and struggled to break the mainmast, freeing the Goshawk from sinking into the sea with the loss of Caillero's Heart of the Sea. The www.biquge.info and his party dispersed the clouds and left the Strait of Somnus, sailed through the Western Sea to the coast of Dabaran, followed the famous 'River of Commerce' into this continent known for its advanced technology, and came to the capital city of Gronya, which was built on the boundary of the canal.

Manid and his caravan had recently disembarked at a port leading to the Chamber of Commerce, while the Goshawk continued its way inward, and at this moment they were coming out of a tunnel for large ships to pass through to a large metropolis built on the scattered islands of the canal, which occupied about a tenth of the continent of Dabaran, and a number of waterways tens of meters wide connected the islands with different buildings, unlike the major cities of Calradia, there were no villages and affiliated towns, There was no means of transport other than boats, and all the inhabitants traveled in their own dinghys or dhows, so the arrival of a large ship like the Goshawk did not seem to have any effect on the inhabitants, who continued to paddle their way to their destinations......

"Hey, man, are you pirates!?"

"We're just mercenaries, right?

Shoy leaned on the deck and talked to the sailors on the deck of a dhow beside the ship, the other party seemed to perceive that the Goshawk was a pirate ship, but did not feel the slightest displeasure, and told Shaw that this was the world-famous water park - Gronia, the two ships staggered and sailed in different directions, Shoy looked at the empty deck except Nabal, felt angry, and took out his pistol and fired a shot in the direction of the cabin.

"Uh...... What happened to the regimental commander...... It's still early...... Whew......"

Mo Cha, who was sleeping soundly in a sail net in the mainmast, was awakened by the sound of gunfire, and after adjusting to the harsh sunlight, he yawned and landed on the deck, and the mirror in the captain's room also held a few ancient books and slowly walked towards Shaw, and a large number of sailors below the deck were also very reluctant to board the deck to welcome the new day.

"The big lazy worms are really!The sun is drying your butts!!This is Gronia, everyone hurry up and get busy~"

At the sound of her order, the sleepy-eyed sailors immediately picked up their spirits and began to clean the deck, while Shoey and her crew went to the bow of the ship, where Nabal, who was steering, greeted them happily, and the group began to discuss a new itinerary.

"I said I'd go ashore and play......! Sig and Melva went with me, and that's it!"

Sieg nodded, and Melva also said that he had no objection, but Mo Cha was not calm, and said aggrievedly: "I said the head of the regiment...... Why do we have to stay and watch the ship, besides, you don't know this place well!"

"Tristan~ Don't worry, your nemesis, Mr. Manid, left us a detailed map of Gronia, as for you...... I know you want to go, but you're not familiar with it either, are you?" Mirror closed the page in her hand, smiled and glanced at him, and the tea ceased to be silent, and leaned sullenly against the side of the boat to smoke a manid bet that he had lost to his tobacco.

"We're going to the pedestrian street, it's the most crowded place in the city!, how long will it take to get there?" Shaw asked Nabal impatiently, apparently the first time she was in such an open city.

"Come on, according to the map, we will enter through the north gate and sail forward for about a mile to see the Tower Bar, the landmark of the pedestrian street!

As the ship sailed to the center of the city, a large wall was built along the edge of a medium-sized island in the middle of the city, and there was no visible sight inside the wall except for the hundreds of red-clad ironclads on the high wall.

At this time, a seagull flew nearby, it dropped a white envelope, fluttered in the wind and landed on the deck, Mo Cha immediately crossed the gap to the deck to pick up the envelope, and hurried back to the companions to open it, and looked at the contents of the letter with everyone......

The captain of the Goshawk Banner receives:

Your ship is a large three-masted galleon, and sailing in Gronia will affect other ships and even cause traffic jams on the water. As there are no traffic problems yet, please park at the public port in the west of the city and pay the berthing fee. If you ignore the warnings and continue to sail into the city, we will forcibly expel you from the city by force. - Captain of the Gronian Port Guard

After reading the letter, Mo Mocha asked, "It seems that I have been fined...... What now? Straight to the port?"

The mood of the crowd at this moment fell to the bottom, and they all dispersed angrily, and Nabal reluctantly rang the bell to warn the surrounding ships to sail west along a waterway as nearby ships detoured.

After a quarter of an hour or so of sailing through this waterway, a magnificent harbor appeared before them, and the berths were moored with large merchant ships and multi-culted patrol ships sailing on the high seas, and the Goshawk docked in one of the berths under the gaze of hundreds of people on the shore, and dropped its anchor here.

The boat lowered its partitions, and the trio made their way down the water's walkway to the shore, where several executives, dressed in black leather jackets and feathered hats, stopped Shoey, Sieg, and Melva and negotiated with the group.

"Miss, your berthing fee is one hundred dinars!"

"I want money...... As if we had no money......" Shoy didn't have a good impression of the executors with flintlock pistols, pouting and taking out a copper coin with a face value of 100, but the executor returned the coin to Shaw, explaining that the only currency in circulation in Gronia was silver and gold, and that the dinar would be greatly discounted here, and the copper coin with the largest denomination would be worthless.

This situation stumped Shaw, and when she was frustrated by the fact that there were no coins owned by the upper classes, Melva threw out a gold coin with a crow emblem, and the executor took it, confirmed it, and let the three of them ashore, where a tall guard stopped them after a few steps had passed.

"If you need to go sightseeing in the city, please take a passenger boat or rent a dinghy, please don't mind our regulations!"

"Oh...... Nothing!

"My name is William, a native of Gronia, my full name is William Johnson, is it easy to get to know me?" the guard, surnamed Johnson, put away the flintlock pistol in his hand and held out his hand to the three men.

Melva took his leather-gloved right hand and replied, "Fortunately, I'm Melva Belmondo, this is Shoey August, and his name is Sieg." Truth be told, we came to Gronia for other purposes than just sightseeing. ”

"Yes, today is my rest, I will take you around in a private boat, if you can find my place, just command~" The fair-faced young guard took off his hat, and his short blond hair and tall figure made him look extraordinarily sunny.

"Thank you so much! Let's go first...... Well, tell us what fun places we can go here!, okay?" Xiao Yi was delighted, and tentatively inquired about the city.

Johnson nodded and introduced them to some areas of the city: "The pedestrian street where business and entertainment are combined is closed to horses, only pedestrians. Across the border is a residential area where about 10,000 of Gronia's 10,000 or so inhabitants are concentrated. The northeast of the city is the venue for competitive competitions, and rowing competitions are held almost all year round. To the north is the Gronia Chamber of Commerce, where most of the merchants from Calradia in the East and Barrion in the West trade, and is a symbol of Gronya's status as the heart of world commerce. To the southeast is the headquarters of the Royal Navy of Gronia, which can be dispatched at any time to the interior and outskirts of the city, and is an area that is off-limits to residents. ”

"Oh...... Then the heavily guarded island in the center of the city is ......" Sieg listened, asking about the mysterious island he had seen on the ship.

"Brother Sieg, you have the point, behind the strong high wall is the palace of Andorra, the king of Gronya, and the interior is also the residence of the strongest armed Red Lotus Knights and the Knights of the Fandog. It's a pity that I'm just a port guard, and I haven't seen the scenery behind a high wall. ”

"Then let's go to the pedestrian mall first, find a place to rest, and then it's time to get down to business!" When Shaw decided on his destination, Johnson led them to his dinghy, and the group rowed in the direction of the pedestrian street.

About half an hour later, on the 25th floor of the nearly 100-meter-high cylindrical building, the ledge of the top floor, in the Tower Bar, the landmark of the pedestrian street, Shaw and the others had just finished their meal, and Johnson was also accosting the tavern waitress on the other side.

Shoey pulled out the Hero's Badge from his bosom, it was still golden in the sunlight shining through the glass, and now in addition to the emerald green firmament, there was half a blue gem in another groove, and Sieg complained about the origin of the gem, as if it should not be the current situation......

"Didn't Shiluvia refine the full bounty of the sea, I didn't expect us to come to the original seal location to find ......"

"Sieg, you have to believe Sister Thea, at that time, she sent the shattered Selene and the dead Caillero into the alchemy magic circle, but in the end only half of the holy stone was restored, and now it seems that Caillero only got half a gem from the guardian, no wonder that invincible sea witch is so dish......"

Shoey explained the situation, and Melva did not object, and expressed his opinion: "According to my speculation, the blue creature once fought Simon Murayu, who guarded the blessings of the sea, and perhaps it was in that battle that it broke the seal of the water elemental gem that Simon guarded, thus defeating Simon, who relied on the sacred stone for energy, and confirmed Caerro's statement on the heart of the ocean...... The shattered Blessing of the Sea was split in two, and a part of it was obtained by Caerro, who used his magic power and the curse that Seren left on the Heart of the Ocean to summon Seren, and finally returned to the prototype because of the alchemy magic, so it can be seen that the other half of the sacred stone is still in the sealing array where Simon is. ”

Sieg pondered for a moment and asked, "In that case...... Where are we going to find the Sealing Array......"

Melvaha laughed and pinched Sigg's face, Sig angrily broke free of her hand, and she taught her like a big sister: "Silly boy! I am the executor of the Holy Sect! Of course I have a number of these materials~"

Shoey, who was on the side, asked Melva about the location of the seal, and she replied, "Simon used to manage the Royal Armory, I think it must have something to do with the giant barrier in the center of the city, and as a member of a friendly nation, I might be able to convince the guards to go in and have a look." ”

"Huh, can Sister Melva do it?"

Xiao Yi stared at Melva with wide eyes, as if what she said was very unreasonable, but Melva just smiled and said calmly: "Pope Matthews and the King of Andorra are private friends, and it is said that your teacher Ougst also knows the two knight captains, so it shouldn't be difficult to get in by relationship~"

"Really...... I can't see that an old antique like Uncle Kai would meet such an advanced upper-class person......"

She put away the Hero Badge and looked confident with a sneering face on her face, and she pulled Sieg and Melvar aside.

"Hee-hee-hee...... We can just go in and find the place related to Simon, and maybe we can find the seal!As for the friend of the King of Andorra and Uncle Kai...... Ignore them!~"

"Is she serious...... Hehe, forget it...... She seems to be confident, and I can only do it with her!" Sieg scratched his head, looked at Shaw's back in the distance, and shook his head to follow......
