Chapter 154: The Other Side of the Sea
Monsters on land will mark their territory with scents, and any unauthorized entry into their territory will be seen as a provocation. But in the ocean, the relationship between the Warcraft is much more harmonious, because few of the Sea Warcraft are stuck in one place. Because of this, when the super-level demonic beasts on land were like thieves guarding against their own kind, the super-level demonic beasts of the sea had already formed a powerful group.
The Ocean Super Rank Warcraft Group is generally formed according to the sea area. Each group manages an ocean, without interfering with each other or interacting with each other.
————————————————————————————————————
"This is the Pacific Ocean. All the sea beasts are under the command of a few giants, and we can't hunt them at will. If something unpleasant happened on my ship, it would be very difficult for Lord Jiang Huahuo - you know, he is also a member of the Pacific Super Rank Warcraft Group, and should set an example. Pizza scratched her head and smiled wryly.
But the old manager of Jont in front of him did not back down, and insisted: "I can understand, but His Royal Highness Su'er is not a complete necromantic creature, and he also needs to eat and drink, especially after vomiting. ”
"But the ghost fleet has never entertained guests other than undead creatures, so they can't find food to stockpile." Pisa is in a quandary. He suddenly remembered something, turned and ran to the cabin, and dropped a sentence: "Well, you wait for me here, and I'll go get something." ”
("I've got food here!") Very cheap! "Schroeder? Bray Dao, ignored by everyone)
On the first day on the ship, something happened that Qingyi did not expect - there was no fresh water and food on board. Qingyi wanted to start beating two big fish, but was stopped by pizza again.
After a while, Pisa came back with a fishing rod and handed it to Qingyi: "Your Majesty, although it is forbidden to hunt sea monsters, those guys who kill themselves because of gluttony are indeed to blame, it doesn't matter how many you want to catch." However, we do not have bait, so please forgive me. ”
System Prompt: Do you accept the quest "Main Course of the Day"?
System prompt: Quest "Today's main course", quest requirements: Catch a sea monster. The duration of the mission is one day, and if the mission fails, passengers must bring their own food today.
"It's fine." Qingyi took the fishing rod, thinking that it would be good to pass the time by fishing, so he walked to the side of the boat. Xue Duo cooperated to transform into a black sun lounger. "Any tricks?"
Bloody Bone Fishing Rod: A fishing rod made of blood and bone, the material is excellent, and all sea magical beasts except for super-level magical beasts cannot tear it off. Life Equipment, Strength +3, [Fishing Mastery] +3, Endurance +20. The load is 20, and the durability is 100%. Requires 40 points of strength. Level 35 is required.
"There's no special trick, just feel the weight on the line, and you can - how can you use the 'Holy Bone' as bait!" Seeing Qingyi pluck off a bone and tie it to the fishing line, Pizza couldn't help but exclaim.
"My father told me that if you want to destroy your enemy, you must first make it mad. If you don't throw away heavy profits, how can you make the fish crazy? Qingyi smiled, leaned the rod back, and shook it hard. The jade-like bones arced through the air and fell into the water.
"Whew, even I can't help but be moved...... Only the skeletons left by saints, I don't know how many beings can covet them? Pisa's eyes looked straight at the place where the "holy bone" landed, and he was very reluctant.
Qingyi lay down comfortably and asked, "Now you probably pass by Lal Haren, right?" Can I have a look at the sea view? ”
"Absolutely." With a wave of his hand, the fog that shrouded the hull of the ship disappeared with the wind, revealing the dark horizon in the distance. Because it was night, and there were dead clouds hanging high in the sky, and the light was not enough, and it was difficult to see the slight bulges on the horizon. "We can't get too close to the coast, so we can't look closely."
"It's okay."
Qingyi looked at the dark sea, didn't say a word, and his thoughts drifted somewhere.
————————————————————————————————————
Lal Haren, in the palace dedicated to His Majesty the King.
"All the while, I've kept my balance like a clown walking a tightrope."
In the bedchamber, King Olquila said this to the humanity in front of him. He was dressed in pajamas, sitting in a chair, with his hands outstretched, looking very honest. His wrinkles cast shadows on his face, and not even the candle flame could shine through. His eyes were full of melancholy, as if the sky was about to fall in the next minute.
He paused and continued, "Balance, as a king, the most important thing to pay attention to is balance. It would be unwise to let one family dominate, or let one faction die completely. Olquila needs balance, the world needs balance, and no one needs balance. ”
"The three major forces in the country are the military department, the civilian officials and the aristocracy. The army's success in defending itself against the necromantic creatures earned the military honor and popularity, and it was for this reason that Lingwynny was murdered. I dare to assert that this was done by certain aristocrats, who did not trust the national army and feared for their own lives, so they did things that were good for themselves but harmful to the country, which is all too common in history. ”
"I can understand this behavior, but I will never tolerate it. The fighters fought bloodily, but were stabbed in the back by their compatriots? How should they be discouraged? How can they fight with peace of mind? To put it mildly, the actions of the nobility are treason. They have long been corrupt and have long since declined, and the glorious deeds of their ancestors are only capital used to show off, and they will never dare to use their lives to maintain dignity and honor like their ancestors. ”
"Even if it wasn't done by the nobles? No, they are the only ones who have the ability to orchestrate such sophisticated actions. Taking a step back, even if the main messenger had someone else, the angry officers would not believe it, so this charge can only be borne by the nobles, otherwise the army will no longer be my army. In order to give an account to the military department, I had to do something. ”
"But...... What about balance? ”
"At such a delicate juncture, the nerves of the nobles have also been stretched to the limit. They must have thought that my purge was coming, and it was likely that the dog would jump off the wall. If they can assassinate Ringwynny now, they may not be able to do me tomorrow. If I still want their help, I have to appease them - irony? I'm going to appease these murderers? ”
"My current dilemma is that I don't know what to do so that I don't offend either the military department or the nobles. You say, what should I do? ”
Sitting opposite the king was Olquila's guardian, the poisonous Grahide. He opened his eyes, which had been closed, and said in a dry voice: "Discussing these things with me is like playing the piano to a cow." I don't know anything about anything but combat skills. "In the shadows, his eyes are like the eyes of a snake.
"I understand, I just want someone to talk to, and you're the only one. This position makes me very tired, tired, and I don't even have anyone to reassure me...... It's been 30 years. The king raised his hand and rubbed his brow, trying to loosen it.
"It's so weak, I thought you'd be stronger." Gherhead snorted. He narrowed his eyes, "Go on, I'll listen." ”
King Olquila let out a sigh of relief and said slowly, "I have decided to purge the nobles. Any prominent family is nothing more than an ordinary family without a surname, and it is not God who has given them power and wealth. As long as enough credit is made, anyone can take their place. The disobedient old nobles will be stripped of their titles, and what awaits them will only be their decline, while the new nobles will rise like stars - that's right, I decided to woo the rich merchants! The wealthy merchants had money, but no status, and they were deeply envious and jealous of the old aristocracy. As long as they are given the opportunity, they will naturally know to whom to be allegiant. ”
Glamhide said: "Although I don't understand politics, I will be opposed by the aristocracy if I do this, right?" ”
"In order for the country to remain balanced, a certain amount of bloodshed is necessary." The king did not answer the question. He seemed to be even more tired after making up his mind.
"You can always find a solution, and that's good. Good night. Grahide got up.
"Good night."

Doludives, the residence of Viscount Karl.
Still old, Perls smiled and asked, "So, are you part of their clique?" ”
Viscount Karl, who was sitting opposite, touched his chin squarely: "It can be said that although he is not a core member yet, he has finally taken the first step." Sam wanted me to use my connections in Osgilia to bring some of the big businessmen over. ”
"Rich businessmen? Why do you suddenly want to win them over? ”
"You're so smart, you must be able to think of a reason." Karl smiled but didn't say a word.
"I want to think about it." Perls frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Lal Harleen needs to be rebuilt, Osgilia is even more destroyed, all walks of life are in a state of withering during the war, plus transportation problems...... With the exception of a few who can make war money, most of the merchants have reached the point where they are struggling. Take the case of a fruit merchant with an orchard in a warm woodland, who cut off a way of money that would not depreciate after this war. They can neither buy goods, nor ship them, let alone sell them, and they are suffering losses every day. They are weak and need the support of the state and policies. ”
"And then?"
"As long as they do business in the name of the nobility, it will be convenient to do anything. With their support, the aristocracy will have more connections, financial resources, and material resources to restrain other forces economically. If I'm not mistaken, most of them are marriages. The aristocracy looked down on the merchants, and they could put their minds on the rich merchants, and it seemed that the aristocracy was not willing to be lambs to the slaughter. ”
"Anyway, the nobles will not suffer after marriage, as long as it takes a few more generations, they can always annex each other." Carl smashed his mouth, and his voice was low: "I know the 'noble' thing best, in order to protect myself, I can do anything, what is the point of sacrificing the happiness of my son and daughter?" In order to deal with emergencies, which nobleman does not have several children at home? ”
He waved his hand again: "Don't talk about this, everyone is interested in the Twilight Church. Sam has registered you with the Religious Administration, and you will be free to preach and even give lectures on a regular basis. Need to build an official temple of twilight? A lot of people are willing to donate. ”
"Not at the moment."
Pers thought of the Knights of the Iron Hoof, and his eyes were clouded.
