Chapter Ninety-Five: The Legend of the Siren
As soon as Tutu and the others left, Earl Andit, the foreign minister of the Principality of Snow Ridge, came to Maple Grove Town.
Seeing the prosperity of the town, Count Anditer said affectionately: "O great goddess of ice and snow, your glory has finally spread to our cold land. Lord Neo, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. My Principality of Snow Ridge has the honor of being your neighbor, and who can say that this is not the arrangement of Her Highness the Goddess. I, Grand Duke Streinan of the Principality of Snow Ridge, have made a clear will, and in the future, the Frost Moon Collar and our Principality of Snow Ridge will definitely come to each other's aid, and we will never fail each other! I am willing to make an alliance with Lord Neo to go through danger and share prosperity! ”
If Neo hadn't known about the conspiracy behind the Principality of Snow Ridge for a long time, he was afraid that he would be moved by Andit's performance.
At the banquet, the two sides pushed the cups and changed the lamps and talked happily. Everyone chatted about what they had seen and heard, and they chatted heartily.
Andité took a big sip of "Drunken Plum" and said: "This wine is sweet and mellow, it is really a rare wine. The things given by the goddess are extraordinary, and they can have the mellow aroma of century-old wine without long-term storage. Lord Neo, our Grand Duke Strianan is also a lover of wine, and if he drinks this wine, he will definitely make Lord Neo a confidant. ”
Neo laughed and said, "It's easy to say. When the Earl returns, I'll just have some more for Archduke Strenan. However, in my opinion, Lord Anditra is very knowledgeable, and he loves such fine wines, and there are few glasses of wine for a thousand confidants, and although I have not yet met Archduke Strenan, I have already regarded Lord Count as a confidant tonight. Both sides are saying boring and shameless words.
The Principality of Snow Ridge has been established for more than 700 years, and is located on the Northeast Peninsula of the Dongsheng Continent.
The ancestor of Archduke Strenan was a retinue of the Kentapp Emperor's family who followed the Ice Sun Empire, and later obtained this fief by virtue of his military exploits, and after several generations of unremitting efforts, the merits were accumulated, and the retinue became the Grand Duke of the Ice Sun Empire.
According to the laws of the Empire, the Duke can establish a Duchy on his own territory, although it is still nominally part of the Ice Sun Empire, but in fact it is already autonomous.
Due to the harsh environment and scarce resources, the Ice Sun Empire simply took the Snow Ridge Principality as an example for its subjects, and instead of intervening more, the Grand Duke Streinan family was allowed to be autonomous to show the generosity of the Ice Sun Empire.
The Principality's land edge is covered with snow and ice, and the people of the Principality live in extreme hardship by fishing and hunting, and the inland Yellowstone Mountains are also too remote for adventurers to visit.
This changes dramatically when it comes out to sea, when the famous Catherine Current, named after the goddess of nature, brings life to the cold ice.
The fish resources here are abundant, and the vast sea surface is dotted with countless small islands, forming the Siren Song Islands, and then heading into the deep sea, there are a large number of sea monsters, attracting adventurers from all walks of life on the mainland.
Beyond the deep sea, there is an unknown ocean, where storms rage all year round, and there has been no effective exploration by mankind so far.
That unknown ocean is known as the Endless Storm Ocean.
The Principality of Snow Ridge took advantage of the Catherine Warm Current to open up the ocean route to the south, and this route, which can be called the lifeline of the Principality, brought infinite vitality and vitality to the Principality.
This is also the reason why the Principality of Snow Ridge has never wanted Count Faberias's Frost Moon Ridge to be involved in the open sea, and secretly let Qiwangzhai block the Tentacle Strait.
During the dinner, Neo asked about the situation off the coast of Maple Grove Bay.
The sea off Fenglin Bay refers to the ocean outside the tentacle strait where Qizhai is entrenched, and the famous ocean - the secret of the sea monster.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the secret of the Kraken was not called its current name, and its vast sea area was occupied by a group of powerful krakens.
This group of krakens recklessly slaughtered humans at will, and even set off waves to flood the fields and villages, finally arousing the wrath of the god of light, the lord of the gods.
The god of light descended to slaughter the Sirens and lifted their souls into the sky, casting the constellation of Sirens in the sky today, forever guiding the sailors who sailed.
Legend has it that these Sirens were very prosperous back then, and in the depths of the Siren's Secret Ocean, they left behind countless Siren Secrets, which attracted countless adventurers to explore them in the endless years that followed.
In the poems of many bards, adventurers have left behind countless beautiful and moving stories.
One of the most talked-about is the story of a nobody who was favored by Celine, the goddess of luck, and accidentally obtained a treasure map that buried a huge treasure, and since then he has soared to the top of his life.
Later people gradually called this ocean the secret of the Siren.
