Chapter 140 Trade
While Terrence was negotiating with Aurora on the Naga side on the front lines of the Blue Keep, Pallaya, aboard a caravan ship, was sailing on the endless sea.
"Sean, how long will it take for your little boat to reach the three islands of Fish-Man?"
Palaya shrank out in boredom and sat on the deck blowing the sea breeze.
"It's only half a day's journey, Your Highness Pallaya, please be patient!"
Captain Sean's words didn't make Pallaya patient, and he complained.
"It's too slow, it's too slow!"
"Why is your ship so slow?"
"Because it's full of goods......"
Sean replied with some embarrassment.
"No, this kind of slow ship is slow to pull goods, and the ship is small, how can it meet the commodity needs of our Blue Castle in the future?"
"I'll have to talk to Terrence when I go back, so that the Minotaurs can build bigger and faster merchant ships!"
Then, Palaya turned and said to a female dragonborn kobold who had received her dragon's blood.
"Write these words down, lest I forget them when I get back!"
"It's been written, Your Highness Pallaya."
"Good!"
Pallaya felt that it would be a good choice to bring a few Dragonborn dependents out!
"Oh, by the way, how about that skeleton knight? Still meditating in your room and falling asleep? ”
"Lord Ryan said it would be fine to wake him up when he arrived, he was a little uncomfortable with the shaky environment of the sea."
"Seasickness?"
Palaya was as direct as ever.
The straight woman's style words made the kobold dragonborn next to him all a little embarrassed to suggest.
"Your Highness, Lord Ryan is a distinguished guest after all, so let's be tactful........"
"It's fine!"
Palaya stood up, and the topic was chatting and talking.
Stretching the Dragonborn, Palaya took off from the deck, and suddenly there were no Palaya's merchant ships, and the speed became much faster to the naked eye........
Palaya didn't notice this, but left a word, and cast a hidden spell on herself, an acceleration spell, and flew away from the merchant ship.
"Since it's not far away, I'll go over first!"
Paraya, who was also taken by Terrence and moved, flew quickly towards Mishima, the former site of the fish-man!
。。。。。。。。。。。。
On the three islands of the Fish-Man, the person in charge of the stay on the Three Islands of the Fish-Man is receiving a distinguished guest: Viscount Bard of the Principality of Sapphire!
"Welcome to Fish-Man Island! Lord Viscount! ”
The old blind was a little embarrassed.
While Terrence led most of the fishmen to garrison the Blue Castle, the old blind eye, who still chose to stay on the three islands of the fish-people in Moon Bay, took on most of the matters related to the follow-up handover.
To this end, Terrence intends to give the old blind dragonborn the qualifications and opportunities to transform.
But the old blind man refused, he knew that his old bones would most likely not be able to withstand the erosion and backlash of the dragon's blood transformation!
To be able to pave the way for the future of the fish people, and make the last dedication of his life, even if he stays on the three islands where the fish people are already scarce, the old blind are content.
The fish people in the new home of the Blue Castle would often come back to visit him, telling him about the changes and new developments of the fish people in the Blue Castle, and the old blind eye who knew these things felt that it was all worth it.
When he received the news that there would be a human guest on the island today, the old blind man was fully prepared for this!
Gather the soldiers stationed on the island, there are gnolls, boar people, goblins, etc., and they get along well with the fishmen, they are the most powerful force guarding these islands at present!
But when he gathered the soldiers and rushed to the port to pick them up, he made the old blind eye a little embarrassed, and the human distinguished guest he received was none other than the human Bard who had been tortured and interrogated by him before.......
Bard, who has now become a viscount, is very low-key, and even his retinue only brought two, a mage and a swordsman, whose strength fluctuates and he thinks that he can't beat these two powerful humans at his peak (the peak of the first level)!
Bud's aura made the old blind eye even more confused, he couldn't detect Bud's strength at all, but his intuition told him that Bard was definitely more dangerous than the other two humans!
The restrained Bard is even more terrifying than the two humans with an outgoing breath!
"Ah, it's been a long time since I've seen the old blind village chief!"
Bard kindly walked up to the old blind man and warmly embraced the fish-man elder who had caused him pain.
This kind of pain, in later things, allowed him to grow rapidly!
"Now, is it the elder who is managing affairs on Fish-Man Island?"
Bud looked around, and only the old blind man came to greet him, as well as some of the island's guard soldiers, whose strength was generally around the first level, and the full set of fine iron equipment on the soldiers surprised Bud very much.
"At my age, I can't do much anymore, the main affairs are managed by an elder, and I can share it a little."
"I see, then please take us on a tour, it's been a long time since I've been here! Walk around! ”
Bard's request, the old blind man naturally agreed.
Now that the merchant ships returning from the Blue Castle side have not arrived, it is good to take Bard and them for a walk, visit Fish-Man Island, and pass the time.
"Viscount Bard, have you ever been here?"
The human swordsman beside Bard asked curiously.
"Of course! Didn't you hear Lord Bud just say that he hadn't been here in a long time? ”
The mage was speechless and replied to the obvious question in Bud's place.
"I'm talking to Lord Bud, don't intervene you stinky mage!"
"You, a swordsman with muscles in your head, actually talk to me like this, do you want to duel!"
"Enough! Two barons, this is Fish-Man Island, not in your own territory, pay attention to your etiquette and image! ”
Bard scolded, causing the two mages and swordsmen who were about to take on the battle to put their hands away.
The old blind eye is also helpless with a polite smile on his face, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.
"Sorry elder, for making you smile!"
"That's so polite! Hahahaha, it's nothing, change like this when you're young! ”
The old blind man took Bard and his party to visit the fish-man islands.
An hour later, the human swordsman who followed Bard seemed to notice something, and looked at a figure above the sea level that was flying towards them quickly!
"Protect the Viscount and the Elders! There is danger approaching! ”
With the explosion of this human swordsman! The mage also drew his staff, and aimed the tip of the staff at the huge black shadow that was approaching them at a rapid speed!
Bard quickly looked up at the approaching black shadow on the sea level, his eyes full of surprise!
This shadow is a dragon-type!
"Two barons, lay down your arms!"
"Our guest has arrived!"
Bard held down the two barons in a tense posture and reassured them with words.
After a few minutes, the shadow faded from the hidden magic on its body, revealing its original appearance!
This is a young blue dragon with a body size of about 16 meters!
Even after reaching the middle level, the mages and swordsmen who were recruited by Bard as his subordinates and became barons still couldn't help but tremble in front of this young blue dragon!
This tremor does not come from the body, but from the mind!
"Old blind! Long time no see! ”
"Did you miss me?"
Palaya laughed and greeted the old blind man happily.
After being at sea for a few days, the movement of her muscles and muscles really makes Palaya feel happy now!
In addition, I saw an old acquaintance again, and I couldn't help but be happy.
Ever since he joined Terrence with the fish-man leader Goshak, the old blind has mainly worked under Palaya.
In addition, during Terrence's sleep, the main matters were also handled by the core dependents such as Palaya and Hogg, and the relationship between Palaya and the old blind eye was very good!
The old blind eye also regarded Palaya as a leading dragon who could really lead the fishmen to the path of the strong, and for this reason, he gave Palaya a lot of good things, which made many fishman elders envious!
Palaya, who is regarded as a "granddaughter", naturally likes this amiable old fish man very much!
"Of course!"
The old blind man opened his hand and hugged the front paws of Palaya's shrunken body.
"Didn't Lord Terrence come this time?"
The old blind man asked for news of Terrence.
"He's dealing with Naga's affairs, and now he guesses he might be fighting! This war maniac! ”
“。。。。。。”
The old blind man froze.
"By the way, I'm blind, I brought you some gifts this time~"
Palaya learned from Terrence at the Blue Castle Core Dependents Conference, and privately issued a "Paraya Version" space ring to the core dependents of his faction!
Now seeing the old blind eye who treats himself sincerely and gives him a lot of good things, Palaya does not hesitate to pull out a space ring with an internal space of about five cubic meters from the space ring and hand it to the old blind eye.
"What is this?"
The old blind didn't realize for a moment what Palaya's gift was.
Having lived on Fish-Man Island all his life, he has never set foot in the outside world.
"This is the space ring, leave your spiritual imprint in it, you can use it freely, it's very convenient!"
Palaya used image magic to transmit the usage method to the old blind eye, which made the old blind eye a little terrified after reading it.
"Such a valuable thing, Lord Pallaya, you better keep it for yourself!"
"I don't need this old man."
Palaya's hard-line attitude made the old blind a little dumbfounded.
"What you send out, how can you take it back! Don't embarrass me! ”
"Put it on! Then try it! Try it now! ”
"Okay, I'll wear ........"
Palaya got her wish and watched the old blind man put it on, and then successfully used the ring before turning his attention to the few humans watching the play next to him.
"How many of you are?"
Paraya asked, confused.
In particular, one of the humans actually has the "taste" of Terrence on him!
This guy isn't human, he's a dragonborn!
"It's me, I'm Bard ........"
Bard was a little embarrassed, and after a few years of separation, Palaya didn't recognize him for a while.
"Bud?!"
Palaya thought for a few seconds before she realized that Terrence did seem to have taken in such a human before, and after "devil training" him, he was transformed into a dragonborn.
Well, that's right!
"What is the stage of your strength now? Let me be well! ”
As soon as Pallaya came up, she wondered what was the strength of this dragonborn with the smell and taste of Terrence on his body?
I haven't seen it for a few years, and in terms of human talent and longevity, Bard's growth should be quite large, right?
"Are you sure you want to show it here? Lord Paraya......."
Bud is still embarrassed, after a few years of separation, Palaya's temper is still the same as before, which is both familiar and makes him a little uncomfortable The character is really tormenting!
"It would be nice to come and show me at my accommodation in the evening! It doesn't matter! ”
Palaya waved her paw, then looked at the other two humans.
"Let me introduce, these two are my subordinates, the mid-level swordsman Baron Lille, and the middle-level mage Joseph."
"Oh, these two are your men! That's fine, this time I'm here on behalf of Blue Castle to discuss trade, let's go in first! ”
"Good!"
Bard agreed, and then followed Palaya and Old Blind into the central island area of the fish-man islands.
The center island, where there were originally hundreds of fish-people guarding the dimensional rift below here, and later after the rift was guarded by the two undead lords sent undead soldiers, the hundreds of fish-people who were vacated became the job of protecting the safety of Fish-Man Island and the waters below.
There are thousands of undead scattered around the entire fish-man center island, and there are thousands of piles of skeleton soldiers directly below the island, as well as all kinds of undead who can move in the water to guard this dimensional rift, and the security is very high!
This is one of the reasons why after most of the fishmen evacuated the three islands of the fish-people, the island has not been occupied by the rest of the sea beasts, and they have invaded and nested.
When Palaya and his party entered the central island, the fleet of merchant ships could reach the three islands of the Fish-Man.......
The old blind hospitality is still in place, and the table is full of delicious sea beast meat, as well as all kinds of special sea vegetables and other dishes.
Sea beast meat is not a rarity now, and the undead soldiers are strong enough to hunt and kill enough invading sea beasts to feed the fish people left behind on the three islands.
Coming from the hungry years, they did not waste it, and it became an instinctive habit to dry it, dry it, and then hoard it in the warehouse for emergencies.
It wasn't until the accumulated warehouses were full of nine that the old blind reported the matter to the Blue Castle, and just in time for the cronies sent by Bard to communicate and exchange on Fish-Man Island, the two sides hit it off and came to the Blue Castle along the way, conveying Bard's goodwill and the hope that trade could be mutually beneficial.
"Your Highness Pallaya, your caravan has also arrived."
As soon as Palaya sat down, there was a knock on the door of the reception room when a fish-man soldier knocked on it.
"Hurry up and bring them here!"
The old blind man commanded, and began to beckon the rest of the guards to move more chairs out, and the dishes should be increased.
Half an hour later, a skeleton knight rode a skeleton horse and led the merchant representatives of the caravan to the central island of the fish-people.
"Lord Pallaya, my major has given me some things to do, I won't be able to come back until tomorrow, you don't have to wait for me."
The Skeleton Knight arrived in the conference room and said goodbye to Palaya.
"Go, go, go! Ryan, I'll be back when I'm done~"
"Good!"
Skeleton Knight Ryan answered, and then rode the skeleton horse and disappeared from view.
"Let's start talking!"
"Terrence told me this thing was going to be written on paper when the time came!"
"Oh no, it should be said that it is on the contract~"
