In the Twin Peaks Temple, the Humpman Emperor was sitting precariously with an angry face.

But if someone happens to be standing behind him, they will find the twin peaks rising behind him trembling slightly—usually only when the extreme joy in his heart is suppressed, the emperor will show this special "body language".

"Do you know what," the Emperor stood up and shouted as he slammed his palms against the gilded armrests of the seat, "how important is that Polar Bear Man named Wolfgar, the only son of the Polar Bear Chieftain of the Thirty-One Chiefdoms of the Federation!"

In the face of the "furious" emperor, dozens of Twin Peaks nobles knelt down in front of His Majesty Dan, all trembling.

"Caesar," a well-established Twin Peaks nobleman was the first to break the silence among his courtiers, "and now 'action' is needed, not 'accountability...... No one wants that to happen...... After seeing the lit beacon fire, the army that was closer to the city immediately rushed to the headland for reinforcements. But who knows—"

"—there's a tsunami," the Camel Emperor interrupted him rudely, "but if you don't bother to decorate your tattoos with ochre, compare cheese or braised cod, and count the number of coins in the Pitoy jar...... In all kinds of tedious and time-wasting 'aristocratic family affairs', it is possible for the distinguished guests from the Federation to be saved from that disaster. ”

"Your Majesty," a dromedary hunched attendant came briskly and whispered beside the Emperor, "The embassy of the Federation has received news, they say...... Pending a 'satisfactory' explanation, the agreed tin ore deal for the year ...... Cancel for the time being, and discuss later. ”

Tin is an important component of bronze, and the demand for this metal has increased greatly since the beginning of the study of metallurgy.

However, the reserves of tin ore in the empire are very limited, but there are many mineral resources on Houjian Island.

The most important commodity in the Federation's annual official dealings with the Empire is tin ore, a veritable "highlight".

When the Emperor informed the Twin Peaks nobles present of this news, everyone was in an uproar.

"They are not the only ones who have suffered casualties," the Twin Peaks nobleman who had just been interrupted was quite senior, and did not give up expressing his opinion because of the Emperor's ridicule, "The two Twin Peaks nobles, Gelsang and Proud Person, plus a whole team of guards, are all missing, and it is very likely that they have already died. And many of the traders in the bazaar can testify that the Polar Bear Mission was assassinated by the Raft Assassins before leaving for the shore...... We can give a 'satisfactory' explanation for the collusion between the rafters and the benthic devilfish. Both the Empire and the Commonwealth are victims. ”

"It's not enough, as you just said," the emotion didn't seem to be as agitated as before, and the Emperor said calmly, "in addition to reasonable but pale explanations, we should have something more to ...... 'act'"

Shortly after the reciprocal recital, a bronze gate slowly opened on a craggy cliff somewhere along the coast of the empire.

A full thirty "Nar" type galleys, representing the highest level of shipbuilding of the camel people, lined up and sailed out of this secret military port.

These large ships made of metal and blackened timber were both sturdy and hideous, with regular cedar as the keel, cut cypress planks glued together with alchemy glue and tenoned into the hull, gaps filled with asphalt and asphalt, and bronze spikes on the freeboard sides to prevent monsters from climbing the ship.

Each ship is accompanied by a team of spellcasters composed of elemental shamans and camel priests, some summoning spell winds to fill the square sails on the masts and speed up the voyage with the oarsmen, while others concentrate on boiling potions made from root plants and pouring them into the sea, leaving patches of brownish-red "stains".

When the ship passes by, the stain is gone, and a large number of poisoned fish, shrimp and crab carcasses gradually float on the surface of the sea, which is shocking.

......

Near the waters of the Camel Empire, on a nameless island.

Quiss, who obtained the "last piece of the puzzle" from Kos, quickly deduced the truth of the whole thing.

At this time, his mind was full of thinking about how to fish in troubled waters and how to get a piece of the pie.

"Captain!" shouted Kos in the distance, "there is an abandoned dinghy in the grass, like a 'boat'. ”

"Boat" is a name inherited from ancient humans, and should be called "Klerk boat" in camel language. It was round and stocky, with only a sail and a rudder oar, and only one or two sailors needed to operate it.

To build a kloon, you need to tie out the skeleton with wicker, then soak the cracked hoof cowhide in oak bark solution, soak it in lanolin, wrap it around the skeleton, and finally sew the entire hull together with linen thread and leather strips, the process is very simple.

"The camel people used to use this kind of boat a lot," explained the boy, pointing to the moldy hull skin, "and the ship looked to have been abandoned for a long time, with moldy hides and rotten oars." ”

Hearing Kos's greeting, several "passengers" on the Foresight also gathered around. Gersang saw the Klerk boat hidden in the grass, and the old camel man recognized the shape of the boat.

"So...... We should still be near the Empire," Wolfgar was the first to ask, as the Polar Bear Chieftain was a little anxious about the diplomatic problems that his disappearance might cause, "I'll go find some wet wood and light the wolf smoke, the Empire should have sent a search and rescue fleet to find me...... We. ”

A broad palm rested on his shoulder—Volibel could understand Wolfgar's mood at the moment, but the chief of the Bear Clan preferred that the boys who had been swept away by the tsunami would be rescued.

"Child," Warlybel admonished in a deep voice, "don't be in a hurry, and find out your own situation before expecting someone to help you." And," he paused, "maybe, we still have a fight to fight now." ”

With these words, the polar bear, known as "Thunder Roar", let out his signature roar, and he quickly sprang into the distance. With a few cries of pain, and the sound of some wooden poles breaking, Voliber straightened up again.

"The Raft Man with Long Gills," Gersang immediately noticed the gills on his shoulders at the sight of the Polar Bear Man carrying a captive with bare shoulder blades, "Klerk boats, ...... near the coastline of the Empire"

Like a thunderbolt across the sky, something suddenly occurred in the mind of the camel shaman, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

......

The elder tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep. The illusion held him back, oppressed, mocked, and tormented him.

The illusion was blurred, and the image of peace and prosperity and the image of calamity were intertwined in his mind.

They have been living here for more than thirty years, and the Camel Empire has taken them in and given them abundant resources that the other Ring Base has never traded in.

In exchange, they underwent a secret transformation, and their bodies grew gills that could breathe underwater.

Of course, this is nothing at all.

Compared to the harvested resources, the elemental shamans born among the people, and the ability to have solid land that no other raft people had, this kind of physical transformation is actually a gift in itself for making a living at sea.

However, two days ago, when the lord of the camel empire directly sent an order, the elder had a foreboding.

Originally, I was going to do some "black work" for that adult that was inconvenient to come forward, such as intercepting merchant ships, dealing with exiled political thinkers, and so on. They are also willing, and because they can breathe in the water, they can also be called handy in doing things.

But when the people left that day, he hesitated, and was surrounded by visions at night

He stood, with nothing at his feet, surrounded only by a sky as black as stars and ink, above and under him;

The images of the spirits of the elements of fire, earth, air, and water were all angry and sullen, and they were furious with them;

The churning waters surrounded him, the air turned into a gale that whipped him, and a mighty storm lifted the ships and destroyed the three ring bases of their people, far superior to their peers;

Then there were flames, and occasionally lightning struck, and the flames swooped down on the houses where the people lived like nesting birds.

He was about to die in the flames, but the flames in the illusion disappeared, and he was unharmed, trembling and panting, and the minutes and seconds passed, and nothing happened, but the illusion continued

For a moment, he felt a rumbling beneath his feet—he knew that the air, the water, the fire, the earth had long since made painful sounds—they had reminded him that he had never paid attention to before.

The creatures of the sea died in droves, and the corpses of all kinds of sea creatures floated on the surface of the sea. Without the support of these creatures, the small amount of land under their feet could not support his people, and they ...... Eventually, he will die.

"No!"

He let out a loud cry and sat up straight, blinking his eyes to adjust to the light from the whale oil candles in the hut.

"What's the matter, master?" asked the young apprentice, hearing the teacher's shout, as he walked into the room with concern. His words were clear and powerful, unaffected by the illusions that disturbed the elders' minds.

The elder opened his mouth to answer, but his thoughts suddenly went black, as in his previous vision. He dreamed - something. He had to recall it, tell—

"I ...... I don't know," he muttered, "something terrible is about to happen, and the elemental spirits seem to be warning me that my shamanic path is not yet complete...... I don't know what's going on, but we'd better get out of here, quick!"

The young apprentice nodded, "I understand," and after speaking, under the elder's surprised gaze, he stabbed a sharp dagger made of bronze into his master's jaw, "For His Majesty the Emperor." ”
