Chapter 19: A Guest Comes Under the Frost Morning Moon (Part I)
A mysterious crystal ball with five beauties has been secretly circulated in the social circles of Valencia, the capital of Dorote, and the contents of it are eye-catching.
Johnny hadn't seen it with his own eyes, let alone attended such a party, and he didn't even have the qualifications to look at a crystal ball. Naturally, he got the news from treehouse taverns scattered all over Valencia.
There are always some boring members of the elite mercenary group who come to the treehouse tavern to buy drunk, drink too much, and under the coaxing of everyone, in order to elevate their identity, they will say something that ordinary adventurers do not know and yearn for, in order to show their unique identity, to satisfy the public's fantasy of the upper class, the first news about the five beauties of Beamon came from here.
The poet who is even more fortunate does not know how to get a glimpse of the specific appearance of the five beauties, and also painted it into a vivid oil painting, following the footsteps of the poets and the Canon, from every treehouse bar in Valencia City to the entire Aegean continent, this crazy speed of transmission can only be described by two things ~ the terrible Black Death and the plague.
The contents of the crystal ball are scattered to these hot-blooded people from all over the continent in this carnival atmosphere.
Fox Beauty!Swan Beauty!Medusa Beauty!Which one is not famous in the Aegean Continent?
If even one of them appears in the realm of humans, it will probably cause a storm of chase.
More exaggeration is yet to come.
According to insiders, the black-haired noble beauty on the oil painting is actually a royal mermaid under the sea, which once again pushed the atmosphere of male hormones in the news to a new height.
Royalty! And it's actually an undersea royal family! Who could have such an affair? I'm afraid that's what really makes the whole city of Valencia crazy. The voice and appearance of this sea princess who can only appear in knights actually appeared alive in front of everyone.
That smile and grace, how can it not make lustful humans crazy?!
As for the crystal ball picture, the clam shell with a jade-like luster behind it is always showing a beautiful woman with a different style from the Aegean continent.
Although some medium-sized elite mercenary groups have been secretly engaged in the slave trade all year round, even the well-informed ones are not sure which race they belong to.
After all, the former master of the Aegean Continent contained more races than the stars in the sky before the Great Empire.
Although after the Great War of Gods and Demons 10,000 years ago, the Great War of Land and Sea 2,000 years ago, and the Hygar War 1,000 years ago, the vast majority of the Beamon race has disappeared into the long river of history. But in those inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, snow-capped mountains and Jedi places, maybe they are still hidden.
Sure enough, in the end, it was the learned magician who gave everyone a correct answer, and the mysterious beauty was none other than the Moshao mussel girl from the bottom of the sea near the distant and rich Silk Continent in the Aegean East.
Whenever the drunken mercenaries in the tavern talked about the five beauties, the whole tavern was silent, leaving only countless heavy gasps, and everyone's faces were filled with the same word for a moment~ greed.
"It was because the Chabal family wanted to capture these five beauties and present them to Prince Chamberlain, who had come to visit Archduke Piero in the Empire, so they set out to go to the Danube with a slave hunting group. ”
"It's a pity, I didn't expect that the Lord of Fei Lengcui was too insidious, set up an ambush, and annihilated the 'Shabal' slave trapping group and the 'Metal Rose' mercenary group at once, and even Count Cassano Shabal died on the front line..."
Coupled with the fact that Cassano's brother, Count Totti Sherpa who appeared on the streets of the city from time to time to get drunk, personally showed the decadence of the loss of his loved ones, the veracity of the previous news was constantly affirmed.
Therefore, the large and small mercenary groups and adventure squads in the city are convinced, and they are looking forward to the next actions of the Danze family.
As for the previous bribery of Prince Chamberlain by the Shabal family, is it a secret? Dorot is a commoner who knows what is going on.
Because of the critical illness of the Grand Duke Druiel Piero of the Duchy of Dorot, the Denzer family and the Shabal family, as the sons-in-law of the Grand Duke, went to great lengths to please Prince Chamberlain, the Prince of the Empire, in order for his wife to successfully obtain the title of duke.
As the suzerainty of the principality, the prince of the San Francisco Empire still has a lot of say.
The Shabal family failed, but the Danzig family rose to the challenge, if this succeeded, the position of the Grand Duke of Solotte will definitely fall on the second daughter after the death of the Grand Duke Piero, and the Danzig family as the second son-in-law will rise to the top in one fell swoop.
There is also a kind of gossip that is crazy rumor, that is, although the Danzer family made their fortune in the Duchy of Dolot and married the second daughter of Grand Duke Piero, they are a branch of the Pompeii Empire, a branch of the declining aristocratic lineage, and this operation is a wrestling between the two empires behind it.
The founder of the "Tornado" mercenary group, the commander of the regiment, Gattuso himself, had the experience of serving in the army of the Pompeii Empire when he was young, which is a fact that many people know.
Since the "Tornado" mercenary group finally sat on the top spot of this world-famous mercenary country after years of hard work in Dolot, the royal family of the Pompeii Empire has gradually set its sights on this aristocratic side branch that has risen in the remote part of the hostile country.
Human beings have always been militants, and they are also geniuses in the political field, and behind any little thing, there may be countless hands pushing non-stop. Those characters who are placed in the foreground are just pawns in the game between them.
The Sherpa family and the Danzer family are unwilling to be another chess piece and want to become a chess player who is qualified to participate in the chess game, which is why they have the above plan. It's just that one failed, while the other was still planning.
The San Francisco Empire and the Pompeii Empire were two of the most famous military powers in the Aegean.
The San Francisco Empire dominated the central and southern parts of the continent, and most of the Karimdo Plain, which was the largest grain producing region in the Aegean. The Pompeii Empire is located in the northern cold land, next to the Thunder Mountains and the Heavenly Moat in the far north, which runs from east to west, and the empire is rich in minerals.
The Pompeii Empire is located in the northern country, and its people are the standard Viking race, and they were once a famous bandit race on the continent countless years ago.
Except for the Tel Aviv Berserker Nation at the northeastern end of the Thunder Mountains, the only one they didn't dare to provoke, the other human nations of the Aegean continent had been more or less sacked by them many years ago.
Although the Pompeii Empire has established a perfect kingdom with an iron fist and force, the domestic people are still fierce and bloody, disregarding life and death, and from the army to the common people, they have always looked down on San Francisco, a southern peasant who can make a fortune by growing grain.
The hundreds of thousands of windmills and grain-producing estates on the Great Plains of Karimdo made the Pompeii Empire, which was forbid by the state because of the fear of wasting food, not have a grudge in the hearts of the royal family and nobles, the army and the common people.
