Chapter 11: The Sea Monster
Because the border between the Elven Kingdom and the Silian Sect was blocked by a vine wall hundreds of miles long, the caravan had no choice but to choose other ways out.
The first is to start from the waterway and land in the area close to the Holy Kingdom to the Slen Sect.
The second is to make a large circle from the desert peninsula and then cross the river to the Slian Sect.
The merchant who took care of the caravan chose the first option, even if it was more expensive to take the waterway, but there was no way to do it. The carriage that pulled too many elven country specialties couldn't walk on the sand at all.
Looking towards the border from a position close to the Slen Sect, a "green line" running from east to west appeared in front of everyone.
The fat merchant sighed again, this wall completely separates the elven kingdom from the Slian sect, and the other borders are guarded by armies, so it is the most cost-effective choice to take the waterway.
But even so, the cost of the caravan has increased a lot, and the next time the merchant does not plan to come to the elven country to do business, except for the imminent war, it is the annoying green wall.
Not only wasted time, but also spent a lot of money, this time and again, I have to lose some money to go in.
Along the way, the caravan was unimpeded, and when it arrived at the dock, it was stopped by the soldiers, but after seeing the merchant show the document given by a certain nobleman, he just checked it casually to make sure that there were no elven slaves on the car, and let it go directly.
The fat merchant chartered a search boat and carried all the goods from the wagon, which was carried by the merchants' soldiers.
The work was in full swing, and the other hired adventurers had no intention of stepping forward to help.
It's okay to ask the adventurer to help move the goods, add money!
"You don't know how beautiful the girl in the carriage in the middle is~"
The adventurer with the tender grass in his mouth boasted to his companions: "The fat man took me to meet that girl that day, what a big posture!" Escorted by a team of elite soldiers, I was envious of their sophisticated weapons. ”
The bearded, uncle-like adventurer clasped his hands on his chest, leaned against the unloaded cargo at the dock, and wondered: "Aren't you talking about that girl?" ”
"Tsk. No matter how beautiful that girl is, it's not something we can enjoy, but those fine babies......"
The uncle rolled his eyes, and glanced at the carriage in the middle, intentionally or unintentionally.
"What's wrong?" The adventurer spat out the tender grass roots in his mouth, "I tell you, that girl is absolutely beautiful, even more beautiful than the golden princess of the kingdom!" ”
"It's like you've seen the golden princess."
"I've seen it!"
"Okay, good, you've seen it, you've seen it."
"Huh?! Don't believe it. ”
"Shhhh
The goods unloaded from the carriage were almost moved, and the fat merchant changed his fierce face and came to the carriage with a smile.
"Miss Tokizaki? Ms. Tokizaki? We'll switch to a boat right away, how about you go to the ship's bedroom first? ”
"Okay." Voices came from the carriage.
The merchant couldn't wait to open the car door and stretched out his fat hand, and the bright smile on his fat face was like a chrysanthemum huddled together.
The small hands are light, and the soft touch makes the businessman's whole person sublimated a lot.
"I'm sorry for you."
The girl stepped out of the carriage.
"No trouble, no trouble." The fat man watched as the girl's tender white little hand moved away, and the fat hand followed closely and probed forward, like a piece of iron attracted by a magnet.
"Phew, that fat man is disgusting." The adventurer muttered quietly, "How's it going, isn't it more beautiful than the golden princess?" ”
"This ......," the beard and mouth stiffened, "it's almost dark, and I don't really see it, but it's indeed much more beautiful than the average aristocratic lady." ”
"Hey, you can pretend."
With that, the adventurer stretched and turned to walk towards the boat.
Dinner.
It's quite hearty compared to usual.
Maybe it's full of supplies on the ship, and maybe it's a beautiful woman on the side.
The soldiers and adventurers don't think about it so much, eating and drinking is the king, even if the port here is very close to the Slian Sect, but it will take a day.
The merchant didn't expect the girl to give him face at all, and after frequent toasts, the other party never responded except for a polite nod.
In the end, he even asked the servant to bring a few dishes to the bedroom at will.
The merchant drank the wine alone, and in normal times, the sleek fat man would only giggle and laugh past, but ......
This time, the inexplicable appearance of the Baili vine wall in the elf country made him lose a lot of time and money, and this back and forth, plus the commission paid to the adventurers, he almost didn't earn anything.
Anyway, he won't be going to the elf country next time, so it's better to ......
Drunk, he obviously dispelled his thoughts in the carriage before, this time he wanted to do a big wave while he was drinking!
The merchant pushed open the cabin in a daze, and the cold sea breeze blew at night, and he instantly sobered up a lot.
No, if you want to do it, you have to wait until this group of adventurers get out!
The merchant made up his mind and staggered back to his bedroom.
......
"Master, that fat man seems to have bad intentions towards you."
"Leave him alone, just a clown."
"Hee-hee-hee." Xiaohonghou flew around the mad three twice, "It's not because of the master, your charming duck~ If the owner is really a weak woman......"
Crazy San rolled his eyes: "Then I must have been eaten by them, and there is not even any scum left, weakness is the original sin." ”
"Hey, hey." Xiaohong smirked twice, and then said: "A lot of resources have been found in this sea area, I will record them first, and then I will send someone to dig them." ”
"I'll leave it to you." Kurumi waved his hand indifferently, and he didn't care about this matter.
"Master~ Are we staying inside the Slian Sect this time, or are we going to the kingdom and the empire?"
"Where do you think the flying squirrel will be?" Mad three asked rhetorically.
"Hmm...... It's possible anywhere, and it's also possible around the Slian Sect, one is righteous and the other is evil, just to make a pot of porridge. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Honghou, who was analyzing, looked outside, "There are actually sea monsters in this inland sea. ”
"Sea monsters?" Kurumi was curious, "What does it look like?" ”
Little Red Queen shrugged, "Like a big squid, it seems to be coming towards us." ”
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" As soon as Kurumi finished speaking, when he wanted to release his soul power to detect, a huge force was exerted on the hull of the ship!
With a loud bang, the water surged, and the wild three shocks sitting on the chair flew more than ten centimeters, and the towering ponytail on the chest also became playful.
There was a commotion in the cabin, and even the drunken merchant was so frightened that he beat a spirit.
Adventurers, soldiers, and merchants all ran out of the cabin to see what was going on.
“...... Blame...... Monster! ”
In the dark night, more than ten meters long thick tentacles stretched out from under the sea, and before the merchant could react, it suddenly fell to the hull of the ship!
The businessman, who was still a little drunk, was unstable in his chassis, and his tonnage was not small, and he was thrown out directly! A not-so-graceful parabola was drawn in the air, accompanied by the fat man's frightened screams.
"Poof~" and fell into the sea......
