Chapter 36: No one says you can't call it that, right?
"In forty thousand years, countless planes have been conquered by armies from the abyss, and the king of mankind has long been the king
He is gone, but his spirit still turns into a torch in the night sky, guiding the direction of the magical ship. ”
"The twenty genetic prototypes that created zào with the blood of kings have long since died out in the chaotic history
, but the legions they left behind ......"
“...... Eventually, the bugs stormed the main plane, and the last of the Empire's armies were formed in front of the Golden Throne
Temporary line of defense, but the sea of insects that went forward and followed quickly engulfed them, and just like that, this one spanned thousands
The vast empire of the Ten Thousand Planes knelt like this. ”
Wang Ming closed the storybook, and Yu Huang had quietly fallen asleep in the plot of the ghost animal.
Scarlet Moon took the limited-edition storybook in Wang Ming's hand and stroked the metal cover of the big book full of scratches: "
Mia, did you really decide to do this?"
"Otherwise, what can I do, Xiao Huang's body can only last for three years. And it was a painful three years. ”
Wang Ming's tone was very calm, a little unexpected by Scarlet Moon.
"Well, if you're really looking for those things, then you'd better go to the West Sea and look for them, I remember the biography
It is said that there is this thing in the treasure of One Piece. ”
Wang Ming turned his head to look at Yuhuang's sleeping face, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But there is still hope."
It's so slim. ”
"Kouhu!" Scarlet Moon scolded, "It's just a miracle scroll, and a ninth-level spell scroll is rare."
See, it's not for nothing that the dragon clan has!"
"But will you take out those scrolls?"
“......”
Dragons are extremely scathing creatures, and the Miracle scroll, which can alter reality on a small scale, is one in itself
An expensive treasure, even Crimson Moon doesn't have a miracle scroll.
Of course. It's not impossible to get a slightly weaker prayer scroll. But arcane is a cure for intricacies
This aspect of the disease is obviously not as good as that of a professional magic. And the preciousness of the prayer technique is not inferior at all
Miracles.
This kind of scroll, also known as a miracle, only has one or two of the treasures of a few ancient dragons.
There are a total of seventeen ancient dragons and five primeval dragons in the main plane dragon clan, but the collection of miracle scrolls is just that
One or two.
And they weren't obligated to take out the scrolls.
So Wang Ming can only do it himself, for example, digging up the legendary One Piece treasure.
"Xihai is indeed a good place, I will go to Xihai to find it first. But if it is not found within three years
Teacher, I hope you can lend me money to buy a miracle scroll. ”
Scarlet Moon stood up from her chair. Relying on himself being half a head taller than Wang Ming, he looked down at his apprentice:
"Mia, you can't leave yourself a way out, a way out will only make people cowardly. Even I don't have to
You can get a miracle scroll in three years. ”
Taikoo Long was tired of running around on the twilight front, and there was very little time he could really spare to help Wang Ming. place
With a qiē, it depends on Wang Ming himself.
And all the people of the Order.
"By the way, if you're going to the West Sea, there are people in the group who are familiar with it. Scarlet Moon seemed to think
Something, suddenly said.
"Xinglian? That guy didn't mix well in the first place, did he?"
Scarlet Moon mysteriously stretched out a finger and shook it: "No, it's your mastermind." ”
With that, the Scarlet Moon disappeared into thin air. Only one sentence was left, "Specifically, you go and ask Yueying yourself."
Wang Ming wasn't ready to have a headache Why Yueying was familiar with the West Sea, so he rushed out of the tent and ran to the food first
Two moon cherry blossoms for supper.
"Big sister. Let's go to the West Sea next to find the One Piece treasure!"
Faced with Wang Ming's sudden words, Yue Ying swallowed the grilled squid in her mouth: "I really thought of it."
Is it a one-piece treasure that you can find if you want to find it?"
Cangyang didn't know where to get out: "Who is One Piece?"
"The original Lord of the West Sea, of course, was self-appointed by him, and disappeared hundreds of years ago, but according to it
He said that all the wealth he plundered was preserved, hidden in a place that no one knew. ”
"So where the hell is it hiding?"
"Didn't you say hiding in 'a place where no one knows'?"
Toria suddenly thought of something, put down the teacup in her hand, and said with a dance: "Mia, that."
That's, we can use that thing to go to the West Sea!"
Wang Ming heard it in a fog: "What is that thing, can you say it in lingua franca?"
"It was the cruise ship we stole in Jerusalem — no, Lilith said it was expropriated — to the west
Sea!"
Wang Ming was stunned for three seconds, and then said in a kind tone as calm as possible: "Tolia-classmate,
I don't think this kind of small river cruise ship can go into the sea. ”
"Can't you?"
"Of course not! If you want to change the fish feed, you can take it yourself!"
"But it looks like it can be sold for a lot of money......
As soon as they heard this, Wang Ming and Yueying's eyes lit up, and the two of them threw themselves down in front of Tolia together.
One grabbed a hand: "Tell me, where did you put that boat?"
Tolia was startled by the two who overreacted, and began to recall hesitantly: "That,
It seems to be, it seems to have stopped in Constantinople and not taken away, right?"
When Wang Ming went out that day, he bumped into Yueying and Xinglian, so the two sides met on the spot, and ten minutes later
It was decided to continue westward by land, only to be left in the harbor of Constantine and completely forgotten
Finish.
As soon as he heard this, Wang Ming opened his mouth wide to absorb the cool air, and he couldn't close his chin for a long time.
"Mia, Mia, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Ming turned around weakly: "I need to calm down......"
Tsukizakura held the goblet with tomato juice to her lips, "He really needs to calm down, what an adult."
I still care about such a small amount of money. ”
Toria answered, "That's it, but it's just more than 10,000 gold coins." ”
The glass goblets from the stall slipped from between the slender jade fingers of the moon cherry blossoms. Smashed on the mud floor.
The juice spilled a large area of the ground.
Turn around. Yueying also said weakly: "I, I also need to calm down......"
————————————
"After all, we need a ship to go to sea?"
Tsukizakura threw the gnawed bud core into the fire, and the flames burst into flames.
Cangyang raised his hand: "Why did you suddenly run to the West Sea?"
"Because there is a One Piece treasure in the West Sea!" Wang Ming hurriedly replied.
"Why are we looking for the treasure of One Piece?"
"Because there is a miracle scroll in the treasure of One Piece!"
"Then why do we have to get the Miracle Scroll?"
"Because only the Miracle Scroll can save the feather phoenix!"
"Against. Cangyang did not hesitate to say his opinion.
"Oppose, opposition, how dare you meow against the wise Knight Commander?"
Cangyang looked at Wang Ming with the eyes of observing the trilobite: "Stupid, the way to save the feather phoenix is not only the miracle scroll, but the miracle scroll is not only in the One Piece treasure. ”
Wang Ming said impatiently: "I know, but this is the plan with the highest success rate......
"Nope. One Piece's treasure is too ethereal, if it's so easy to find, why hasn't anyone found it?"
Wang Ming was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.
"So, I personally built a basilica to capture a cathedral in the Holy See of Light, so that there is a high chance of looting the miracle scroll preserved inside. ”
“...... Then I might as well find a rock and kill me. ”
The objection is invalid.
"So, you must go to the West Sea?"
Wang Ming said in an accentuated tone: "Of course you have to go, that is the place where you are most likely to get the Miracle Scroll." And not only the One Piece Treasure, there are many places in the West Sea where the Miracle Scroll may appear, at least much more than the locations outside the Holy See's sphere of influence on the mainland. ”
Cangyang didn't dwell on it. Moving directly to the next topic: "So, which of you knows the way? I mean familiar with the whole area of the West Sea." ”
Xinglian stood up silently. It's not because the goddess of war in the West Sea has learned to keep a low profile, but because our goddess of war has a mouth full of fried noodles.
Cangyang's gaze stayed on Xing Lian's bulging cheeks for a third of a second, and then turned to other places: "Is there no one?"
Xinglian's eyes were immediately full of murderous aura.
Swallowing the fried noodles in a big gulp, Xing Lian said inarticulately: "You look down on me!"
Cangyang replied directly: "No." ”
Xing Lian pointed to Cangyang's nose: "What's nothing, don't forget that I'm a psychic magician, I know exactly what you're thinking!"
Cangyang took a step forward and put Xing Lian's index finger on the tip of his nose: "So, what did you hear?"
Xinglian stared at the hollow eyes of the silver-haired girl, as if she had seen something terrifying, and she couldn't say a word.
Cangyang took a big step forward again, the two of them looked at each other almost at zero distance, and Xing Lian's whole body was already stiff.
Wang Ming dragged the psychologist away: "Stupid, is the psychology of three nos also something that ordinary people can see?"
Cangyang's gaze focused on Wang Ming, making his voice lower and lower.
"Okay, okay, just lead the way, after all, I used to be a big man in the West Sea!"
“...... What did you call in the past?"
"[Beep-]"
————————————
More than a decade ago, there was a legendary pirate in the Western Sea.
A cute and charming girl who summons death.
No one knows her true face, but the ships that were attacked had heard the mysterious sound of a harp before the attack.
The music is magical, a melody that inspires pirates into frenetic battles, weakens the crew's will, and summons flames and thunder!
There is speculation that she is a bard, but a bard should not have such a strong ability to save.
And many of the survivors claim that the Maiden can perform magical arts, so it can't be a bard who drives the power of arcane with music.
But speculation does not help to counter the fear brought by the maiden, and when the great three-masted schooner appears, it is always accompanied by death and destruction. Any seafarer would fall into despair at the sight of the slender silhouette peculiar to the elven warship.
I don't know where it came from. The girl, who didn't know where to go, took this terrifying warship across the Western Sea.
The above is one of the versions.
Another version portrays the teenage pirate as a proletarian fighter who robs the rich and gives to the poor. But under the suppression of major consortia and chambers of commerce. This version gradually faded away.
I don't know which is the truth, I'm just a storyteller.
Oh.,It's said that the girl is actually not young.,Actually, it's the royal sister.,This is recognized in many versions.。
Another recognized point is that the girl, no, the royal sister is very good at singing. In her spare time, she sits on the foremast of a sailboat, letting the sea breeze blow away her long pink hair, and singing soothing songs.
But there should always be a name, right? Even if you don't have a name, you should have a nickname.
"Sister, my nickname at the time was Patrol Sound, Patrol Voice. With that, Tsukizakura stuffed the tuna meat into her mouth.
Everyone: "......"
Blackwater is a deep-water port on the west coast of the mainland, located on the coastal cliff side of the Dusk Mountains.
Blackwater Harbor is a free city that does not owe allegiance to any one power, and the council is responsible for the administration of the city.
And other than that. The city is also a member of the West Sea Trade Alliance, which supports several important shipping routes through the Blackwaters.
But the city is clearly not a free city in the true sense of the word. For example, a large area of the city belonged to the concession of the Holy Laurent Empire.
It's not because of the weakness of the council, there is no way, who let this place be less than six hundred kilometers away from the Roland Empire? If it weren't for the fact that the Dusk Mountains were separated by the middle, the Holy See's flame cross flag would have been floating over the black water.
However, because of its proximity to the Holy See, the commerce here is very developed, and most of the trade routes between the Western Sea Alliance and the human world pass through here, and it is also one of the few transit ports on the West Coast, and it is also adjacent to several elven cities.
Since this is a port city known for its commercial transportation industry, there is no doubt that the sea transportation here is extremely developed, and Blackwater not only has a huge port area, but also has a large fleet.
Most of them were armed merchant ships, but there were quite a few of them, and at least no detachment of the fleet would be afraid of pirates in general.
The self-protecting merchant fleet brought great wealth to Blackwater for centuries, leading to the rapid development of other industries.
So what was just a small fishing village centuries ago is now an incredibly large metropolis!
"With a population of 1.2 million, crowded into such a small city, it must have sacrificed countless greenery and public facilities...... Eh, what, the city was built by the dragons, and the drawings from Nani Zima?"
If you really build a city of millions of people over the centuries, then urban planning must be a nightmare, and you will find that the facilities are very unscientific, and then you will slowly struggle with it.
But it's not the same if there is a long-lived creature with normal intelligence planning the city, at least their long-term consideration will blow up any human planner.
"So, a long lifespan will produce a lot of skill points, and the hell knows how long the skill list of those dragons and elves is......"
Looking at Wang Ming, who was standing in front of the team and complaining, everyone felt that it was better to pretend that they didn't know him.
Blackwater did not have walls, as the Empire did not want its neighboring autonomous city-states to have walls, and the city walls were replaced by a number of huge watchtowers that surrounded the city, each topped by a huge wurm's lair.
That is the unique class of the Western Sea Alliance, the Aslan Sky Guard.
Nestled in the depths of the West Sea, with a vast territorial waters, abundant products, and a suitable climate, the Yaslan produced here is only strong, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and has long been a reserved dish on the table of the aristocracy, we have selected the Fengtao Wurm cubs from Aslan, carefully cultivated, fed with feed from all over the continent, and after slaughter, only one-tenth of the muscles are selected, with aged feta cheese from the savannah of the Desolate Sea......
"Hey, are you really talking about a class introduction?"
But the Wurm is really delicious!
"Why don't you die ......"
Tsukizakura came out from behind the group leader: "Mia, who are you talking to?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I started having a seizure because I didn't take any medicine today. ”
"Oh, these are not the point, let's hurry into the city, I heard that the wind and waves wulong loin in Nancheng District is the best!"
“......”
The roads in the city are paved with black floor tiles, and the buildings are mostly black, which looks very oppressive. The main reason is that the nearby quarries only produce this black hydrogenic rock, and other stones are relatively rare here, and the market economy dictates that only a large number of black cheap buildings can be built here.
Of course, the Bright Holy See Concession is different, the stones there are all transported from the empire mainland by water, each piece is engraved with holy seals, and after the repeated blessings of the priests, the Holy See's concession looks excessively white.
The guards hastily checked the belongings of Wang Ming and his party, and then put them into the city.
Walking on the black avenue, everyone felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
"There are so few people you don't realize?" Toria suddenly broke the silence and spoke the question in her mind.
That's when everyone reacted.
Yue Ying swept the street twice, and the eye power of the moon priest, who has been training in archery for a long time, is far from being comparable to others, and after two glances, she reported the number of people: "The number of people on the street is ...... Not a single one but us!"
Everyone: "Cut!
Xinglian let go of the crystal ball in his arms and let it float in the air: "But, according to my detection psychic ability, there are no people in the nearby streets, don't you think it's too strange?"
At this time, a paladin walked past the crowd: "Oh, today is the day of the return of the combined fleet, and everyone has gone to the port, so there is no one now." ”
"Combined fleet?" Wang Ming asked puzzled.
"In the past two years, the Holy See and the port of Blackwater jointly funded a fleet to explore the south, and it is said that last year they found a lot of islands, and if they can establish trade with the local natives, or establish colonies, it will bring a huge amount of income, so most people in the city attach great importance to it. ”
After listening to the paladin's explanation, Wang Ming asked strangely, "Then why don't you go?"
"I'm going to patrol, it's not good to leave my post without permission. (To be continued......)
