Chapter 1: Pointing to the Giant Whale King City (Part I)
Failure is the mother of success, and long-term victory is the most vulnerable.
Due to a refreshing commotion in the tavern, Caesar, Alina, and Clara also knew that they couldn't continue to stay, and their identities would definitely be discovered after a long time, so this game would not be fun, they joined the mercenary group for the price of a silver coin, and Caesar was familiar with this kind of thing, and he was also mixed here alone when he didn't know the path in the past, although it was very cheap to be a straggler like them, but the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
"Second brother, why is there so many people protecting a caravan?" Clara looked at the mighty mercenary group with some curiosity, the biggest feature of this large-scale mercenary group is that the clothing is uniform, wearing the same mark, the mercenary group protects the caravan, and the front and rear are adventurers, or some small mercenary groups that are attached to the big mercenary group.
(More than five people can set up a mercenary group, you can register in the adventurer's union, increase the level according to the difficulty and number of tasks completed, with the increase of credit, the corresponding income will continue to increase as the scale increases, and some large mercenary groups are even hired by the royal family or nobles to exterminate some pirates in the territory or participate in aristocratic wars.)
The Sea Clan is not completely calm and waveless, the six royal clans divide the entire Sea Clan into six sea areas, but in fact, due to the small population, the royal clan mainly controls the sea area near the royal city, and some other regions are divided by the royal family, and some are the territories of the large Ping people, such as the Fei Shi clan, the She'ou Bei clan, etc., the more powerful will naturally have territory, but they are still subordinate to the royal family, but in recent years, due to the civilian clan through the Shenyue War to improve their strength, it has been difficult to control, in fact, it is only nominally subordinate to the six royal families, and internal affairs and economic income are arranged independently, that is, autonomy in the full sense。
This is also the difference between the sea tribe and human beings, if it is a human being, the royal family will not give up any rights and territory, but the sea tribe is another matter, and at the same time, the sea area is too vast and rich, the civilization produced by the precious fertile soil that human beings rely on for survival is essentially different from the sea tribe, the six royal families of the sea tribe do not pay attention to these things, as long as there is no dispute in the sea area near the royal city, they will not take the initiative to attack, and this is also a convention, any strength wants to establish its own dominance in a certain sea area must rely on strength, so small-scale wars still often appear, which is also one of the major sources of mercenaries to survive。
The mercenary group is large enough to enclose a sea area, but there are very few mercenary groups that do so, because the mercenary surname is difficult to manage, and it is impossible to spend money to build a city, so it can only be attached to the royal family, nobles, or some large merchant groups.
To put it bluntly, mercenary groups and pirates both rely on big households to eat, but one is to do things for big households, and the other is to rob big households.
Caesar's goal is very clear, that is, to follow the caravan out of the mermaid sea, Clara has long wanted to go out to play, how can she give up such an opportunity, as for the problem of a ninth-order kraken's magic crystal, it depends on chance, in fact, Caesar is not worried, it is really not possible to go to the Bermuda Death Sea to find an unlucky ghost, and there is no need to worry about the return time, the space scrolls treasured by the two principals are the best.
This "Flower Keiji" The merchant group is a large comprehensive merchant group, doing business between the six seas, and also conducting large-scale singing and dancing performances, on the one hand, to increase popularity, on the other hand, it is also a major income for them, their main mercenary group is the blood killing mercenary group, which is also a mercenary group of not small scale, the number of people is about three thousand, and the caravan also has more than 1,000 people, and the two sides have also cooperated for a long time, without passing through a city, they will hire some adventurers and small mercenary groups to increase their numbers, after all, the price of this kind of stragglers is very cheap, and adventurers and mercenaries also like to rely on this large caravan to make a little money, some travelers and small businessmen are also willing to shell out some money to follow them.
There are generally no pirates near each city, but the sea area is too vast, excluding some turbulent currents and sparsely populated places, the remaining main waterways are still very long, and the city guards in these places are also out of reach, and the pirates will choose the right place and the right prey to catch a vote, which is also a way of survival, after all, not all chambers of commerce are willing to spend a lot of money to hire people, merchants are a group of adventurers, profits are more important to them than statements, and adventure surnames are even more terrible than adventurers, which also gives pirates room to survive。
After the last clothes incident, the three of Caesar changed into ordinary adventurer clothes, which are very cheap, and the adventure union sells them, and sure enough, as soon as they change this kind of clothes, the three of them are not so noticeable, and Alina and Clara wrap their beauty, this kind of civilian female mage suit can choose the kind that only shows the eyes, this kind of clothing is deeply liked by female adventurers, after all, women basically like to hide their faces when they fight, especially mages, maybe some female warriors like to expose their surname, Alina They finally don't have to worry about beauty and trouble, Caesar once suggested that the two dress themselves ugly, but they were firmly vetoed by the two women。 Of course, Clara still has some complaints,...... It's not very comfortable to wear.
The Huazhiqing business group was originally going to the Mermaid King City to perform, but the Mermaid King City made such a scene, and it was rumored that there were both undead and palace coups, although it failed, but the atmosphere in the royal city was still very tense, and it was better not to touch people's heads with a cheerful atmosphere like them, so the merchant group decided to change its route to the sea area of the giant whale royal family of the six royal families.
The giant whale royal family is a symbol of strength, their strength is unimaginably strong, just like the relationship between the mermaid clan and the sea dragon clan, the relationship between the giant whale royal clan and the shark royal clan is also very close.
Caesar, Alina, and Clara had never been to the Whale Sea, so they were also in high spirits along the way, and the three of them mixed in the crowd without attracting attention at all, and they also met some new friends.
"Brother Caesar, come, come over for a drink with your friends. The old merchant of the gluttonous tribe greeted them very warmly.
The old merchant is in the medicinal herb business, and he is also an old witch doctor, this time he took his son and two daughters to the giant whale sea area to open a shop, after all, the giant whale clan has many places where the warriors are injured, and the trees move the dead and the people are alive, just follow this big caravan to ensure safety, after all, just so much belongings can't withstand the toss, and there are always pirates between the sea and the sea, and it is very happy to meet such a big caravan gourmet.
Along the way, the old man and his children were very enthusiastic about Caesar, perhaps because Caesar was lonely and lonely like them, or because it was not easy for the old man to go out at a young age, so he always called them when he ate.
"Thanks, they don't drink, I can have some. Caesar smiled very heartily, at first they still refused but could not withstand the old man's politeness, it can be seen that people are very sincere, Caesar is not polite, but Alina and Clara are not allowed to drink, although the beautiful eyes of the two girls are full of pitiful expressions, but for their own sake, Caesar still forbade them to drink.
"Little brother, you control your sister so strictly, in fact, it's nothing for girls to drink a little, my two daughters are too strong to drink, so I don't let them drink. ”
The old man's son belongs to the silent and honest kind, the food and some heavy things are all done by him, and when he thanks him, he just smiles in return, and the two daughters although they can't say that the country is beautiful and fragrant or they still have a feeling of a small jasper, they are not very old, the sister is a little better, the younger sister is still a little timid, and the warmth of the civilian family is undoubtedly shown in them, although it is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, but when entertaining guests, people take out the best wine and food.
"Hehe, old man, I won't tell you, the two of them are the same, the amount of alcohol is a little bit and they pretend to be heroes among women, hiss, pain. ”
Alina and Clara will be polite, of course, the two girls are very light, especially Alina, where is she willing, Caesar is also pretending, provoking everyone for a while.
However, Clara and Alina did do some "extraordinary events" when they got drunk, and the two girls were vaguely remembered after waking up, but the exact situation was only known to Caesar himself, but Caesar's classmates kept silent, this was a little secret in his heart, and after a long time, Alina and Clara tried their best to figure it out, but they didn't succeed.
"Haha, you guys have such a good relationship, come, eat, talk while eating. The old man's constant Zhang Luo made Alina and Clara a little embarrassed, as princesses, how could they have enjoyed this kind of small life of commoners, but it really has a different flavor, but the two women don't eat much, not that things are not delicious, but they have to keep in shape.
"Can you tell us some interesting stories about our adventures later, this is the first time we have been out of the house. "My sister is a little bolder, although Alina and their dress is a little strange, but with the intuition of the female surname, the two sisters in front of them are very temperamental.
"Of course it's no problem!" Clara heard someone call her sister so affectionately for the first time, the key is that the immature voice is indeed very sincere and adoring, which makes the little girl a little fluttery, "Sister Lala has a lot of adventure experience, and the adventure is very interesting!"
