When the caravan arrived at the coastal city northwest of the mountains and northeast of the elven kingdom, Koyer finally understood what "reef city" meant.

The whole city looks almost completely connected.

The eastern and northern parts of the Tower Kingdom are not very far from the coast, and even if it is a border fortress city of Tiranto on the other side, there are still some "trade goods" from the Deep Sea Empire that can occasionally circulate over.

Koyer knew that this gray-white stone, called "sea bone", was the bone of some kind of creature, and also had an unknown name, called "coral".

The whole city is made of this gray-white sea bone.

Even though Koyer knew that these sea bones were not made of countless stacked bones, he always unconsciously thought of things like "human bone tower" or "animal bone tower".

In the Kingdom of Towers, there are still some marginal barbarian tribes who maintain a similar custom of building towers out of the bones of enemies and hunting beasts to show their bravery.

There are even rumors that the legendary giant king is a barbarian himself, but this statement is undoubtedly denied.

Barbarians have not even produced a son of a giant king so far, and if the giant king is born from a barbarian, then the probability of a barbarian appearing the son of a giant king should be very high.

While Koyer was shocked by the magnificence of the city of Dolan, the beasts of burden and the beasts did not stop, carrying them all the way towards the white city.

......

Upon entering the reef city, Coryere saw a variety of creatures.

But......

There are very few creatures that come close to human form.

Not to mention the human form, those that have grown or only have four legs are very few.

Koyer was frightened to see, and the young man Ender, who returned to Koyer's side from the dwarf mage's carriage, had his eyes lit up.

With a hard outer carapace, the creatures that seem to be dressed in armor and walk on one stout step after another, sounding like they have many similar characteristics to the "war machines" described by Master Madenor as the Mountain Kingdom.

Another example is a creature that seems to have no bones at all, relying on its soft body, squeezing in and out of the pale and gray holes, wielding snake-like limbs.

And at this time, beside him, Koyer, who had heard all kinds of things about the Deep Sea Empire from the caravan leader, also relayed what he heard to Ender:

"The territory of the Deep Sea Empire is very vast, and there are all kinds of sea people."

"Legend has it that the Lord of the Deep Sea, the greatest ruler of the Deep Sea Empire, gave names to the conquered tribes when he conquered the sea tribes."

"The sea creatures with names are the 'sea people' of the Deep Sea Empire, and any sea tribe that attacks them will be punished."

"The unnamed sea creatures are the 'border people' of the Deep Sea Empire, and the sea people can attack them and even use them as slaves or food at will."

"It seems that it is according to the size of the merit made when he launched the expedition as the main subordinate of the deep sea, but the foreign race is not good, any foreign race, any land race to attack the sea people or border people, will be punished, we do not have any conflict with them."

Hearing these words, the curiosity in Ender's eyes cooled down suddenly.

He lowered his voice and asked Koyer:

"That's too ...... It's savage. ”

When the army of adventurers who returned from a trip came back, they occasionally talked about some primitive tribes, which were distinguished by race......

Even if it was Ander, he couldn't help but be a little worried about whether the caravan would encounter an accident.

However, Koyer smiled at him:

"Don't worry, Coastal Reef City is a barren frontier for the Deep Sea Empire, and those who will gather in Coastal Reef City are basically border people, they will not have much conflict with us, and if there is a conflict, the rulers of Reef City will come out to interfere."

Hearing this, Ander couldn't help blinking:

"Why?"

According to the custom on land, the borders, the areas where you can trade with other regions, like Tiranto, should be relatively prosperous.

Koyer glanced left and right at the strangely shaped sea species, looked at the people of the deep sea, and then turned his gaze back:

"The ocean is full of water elements, and the things traded from the land are basically useless when brought to the sea, and they are easy to spoil, and even the flesh and blood food on the land is easy to spoil the stomach if you eat it."

"The Deep Sea Empire, the closer it is to the deep sea, the more prosperous it is, the shallow sea and offshore areas, the more prosperous pastoral sea areas, are also occupied by some famous sea people, and the border people often have to worry about the sea beast herds of those big tribes eating them as food......."

Hearing this, Ander also roughly understood the situation.

The antagonism between the border people and the sea people in the Deep Sea Empire is quite serious, and maybe even the border people will feel that the races on land are better than the sea people...... When there was no major conflict.

In the past, he had only heard that the Deep Sea Empire and the Dragon Empire were hostile, and the conflict was no less than the conflict between the Beast Empire and the Dragon Empire, but he didn't expect that this was what the inside of the Deep Sea Empire looked like.

And at this time, Koyer said:

"Don't worry if they're dissatisfied, a few more scolding of the sea people might make them happier, as the bards who used to come here did that."

This made Ander stunned for a moment, but after glancing at those strangely shaped marine races, Ander still felt that he should not be too casual until he completely figured out the situation.

Koyer had apparently just heard from the caravan leader.

Changing the subject, Ender asked about other aspects of the Deep Sea Empire.

......

At the same time, in the underground of Reef City, there is a vein of water that can directly lead to the ocean, and it is also the residence of the lord of the city, which is also the ruler of the city, a creature with a humanoid body, the shape is very similar to that of an elf, is listening to the report of a prostrate sea tribe with its eyes closed:

“...... The lord of the city, from a dozen rounds of the tide before the ...... Dwarves and gnomes, almost no more than any of them. ”

The sea elf city lord who has an elven body, or is originally an elf branch, does not look strange:

"The kingdom of the mountains has been wiped out by the dragons, how can the dwarves and gnomes come, the ore can't be sold."

However, the sea elves didn't react much, and the things on the ground, especially the things in the mountains, even the so-called war machines and artillery that the dwarves were proud of, had no effect at all in the deep sea.

More than these, he wanted to know if the so-called "tyrants" would trade with them after the mountain kingdom was destroyed.
