Mishwalla was a port city in the western part of the continent. This place wasn't part of the Nasser Empire's territory. The western part of the continent was basically a small country. Of course, these countries were basically human countries, but they didn't belong to the Nasser Empire. However, they were basically vassals of the Nasser Empire. This port city was the capital of a small country. Of course, this small country was also a vassal of the Nasser Empire. This small country didn't have much to boast about, but this port was indeed the largest in the western part of the continent. There were even flights to the Dwarves and Elves.
Li Huailin and the others appeared here. This was a clue that they only found after searching for half a day. That's right. Although they knew that their target was in the western part of the continent, they didn't know where it was exactly. However, when five professional players gathered together, they could still come up with some reliable results. This time, it was Jade Emperor who suggested to go to the Mercenary Guild to see if there were any clues, because there was more information there.
In the end, when they went to the Mercenary Guild, what they saw almost made them vomit blood. The Sea Dragon Rakikulus Quest wasn't exclusive. The Mercenary Guild had an identical quest. Moreover, the Mercenary Guild had set the standard for an S-rank quest, and the bounty was still 100,000 gold coins.
The five of them looked at the quest list given by the Mercenary Guild, then looked at the quest list given by Explorer Elavin. Damn, even the picture was the same. Other than the missing bounty, it could be said that it was the same as the original one.
"We've definitely been scammed," Millennium Unchanged said. Millennium Unchanged said, "Are these octopuses going to transfer the quest items we handed in to the Mercenary Guild and get 100,000 gold coins?"
"Why don't we wait for ten days …" Jade Emperor said.
"Don't. I've already bragged about it. If we stop now, how can we face others in the future?" Li Huailin immediately said. That's right. The news had already spread. Li Huailin had accepted a quest in front of so many people, and it was an S-rank quest at that. This news was too shocking. Of course, it would spread out immediately. Even if Li Huailin didn't go on the forum, he knew that he would definitely be pinned at the top. Although he was indeed a fool, he couldn't be afraid at this time. What was 100,000 gold coins? Face was the most important thing.
"These octopuses must be targeting us," Jade Emperor said. "Why did they pick this S-rank quest out of so many?"
"Who cares? It's not a problem," Li Huailin said as he waved his hand. "It's just a Sea Dragon. Don't worry.
Although they felt like they had been scammed, Jade Emperor and the others weren't people who loved money, so they let it go. However, what made them even more unhappy was the attitude of both sides. Explorer Alaven had only given them a wanted order, and even the rough location was given by the system. On the other hand, even if the Mercenary Guild didn't accept the quest, there would still be people who would kindly explain the general situation of the quest to you. They even suggested that Li Huailin and the others go to Mishwalla. The difference was too big.
Regardless, Li Huailin and the others followed the Mercenary Guild's suggestion and went to Mishwalla. It was a very peaceful port city. Since the small countries in the western part of the continent rarely had wars, the environment here was completely different from the Nasser Empire. The pace of the surroundings was very leisurely, and it felt like a tourist attraction.
After walking around the city, they didn't see any other players. Perhaps the surrounding monsters weren't suitable for players to level up, so only those who were doing quests would come here. Without players, the city seemed quieter. In short, it was a rare peaceful place in the game.
Of course, Li Huailin and the others were still here to do a quest, not to travel. First, they wanted to ask about the Sea Dragon Lakiakulus. Of course, the target of their inquiry was the nearby boatmen. Didn't the quest hint say that the Sea Dragon often attacked fishermen? So, they should know something.
"Sea Dragon Lakiakulus?" A fisherman heard Li Huailin's question, and before he could say anything, his face had already turned pale. "That's the Lord of the Sea! What do you mean you want to fight against it? Young people should cherish their lives … "
Just like the mission prompt, the nearby fishermen seemed to know about the Sea Dragon Lakiacus, and some even respected it as the Sea God. Every time they left the boat, they would first worship the Sea Dragon Lakiacus, so that they would not be attacked by it. Over time, the worship of Lakiacus seemed to have become a ritual for the fishermen to leave the boat. In any case, the fishermen were not willing to mention it, just like how the Light Believers were unwilling to comment on the God of Light. You can't discuss the good or bad of the God you believe in, right?
Fortunately, not all fishermen believed that Lakiakulus was a god. There were also people who recognized the facts, such as the fisherman named Kalano that Li Huailin found. This guy was a strong man in his forties or fifties. Although he was a little old, his body was still very strong. His skin was dark, and he looked like a very pure fisherman. The reason why this guy didn't believe in Lakiakulus was very simple. Because his son was killed by Lakiakulus, so of course he wouldn't worship it as a god.
"I have a way to find it," Kalranor went straight to the point.
"Really? Please teach us, "the Jade Emperor said immediately.
"There's no need to teach us. I'll take you to it directly." Kalano stood up and said, "You are adventurers who are here to fight him, right? Lakiakulus the Sea Dragon roams the deep sea. If you want to find him, you must take an ocean-going fishing boat, and you must find an experienced fisherman who is willing to take the boat to bring you there. Many people here think that Lakiakulus is a god, and even those who don't believe in it dare to take the initiative to provoke it because it's too dangerous. There aren't many people you can find, but I'm one. I'm not afraid of death. "
Since this guy volunteered so bravely, of course, Li Huailin and the others wouldn't refuse. Although Li Huailin could fly, he couldn't summon the Jade Emperor and the others. So the only means of transportation was a boat. It would be best if Kalano was willing to help find and borrow a boat. So far, everything seemed to be going smoothly. However, before they set sail, they encountered a little problem. They didn't have enough sailors.
Kalranor's fishing boat wasn't a small wooden boat. It was a medium-sized wooden boat that could sail long distances. The main driving force of the boat was the wind. Of course, such a boat needed a lot of sailors to operate. Kalano himself had more than 30 men under him. Although some of them were part-time sailors, he could basically gather the necessary number every time he set sail. However, this time, they weren't going fishing. They were going to fight monsters, and Kalano didn't hide it at all. He directly told all the sailors about it. This was a matter of life and death. Even the bravest sailor would hesitate, not to mention that many of the sailors were believers of Lakiakulus.
In short, after some consideration, only 10 people were willing to go with Kalano. These 10 were basically Kalano's confidants. They had sold their lives to Kalano, so they knew that it was dangerous to go with him. Kalano didn't say anything about the others, and both sides said their goodbyes peacefully.
Although the scene was touching, the main problem was that they didn't have enough manpower. They didn't even have half of the usual number of people. Usually, because they were fishing, they needed a lot of people to pull the net, repack the fish, and manage them. But this time, they were going to fight monsters, so they didn't need that many people.
"You guys help too, it should be enough," Kalrano said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned. "Uncle, you want us to sail the boat?"
"Not sail the boat. I'll do some handyman work, like pulling the sails," Kalano said. "Don't worry. I'll tell you what to do. Remember, I'm the captain on this ship. Just listen to me. I'll make sure you come back safely."
"Hehe …" Li Huailin was speechless. Wasn't he the main force of the battle? I should make sure you guys come back safely.
Due to the lack of manpower, the whole ship was a little empty. However, there were a lot of people who came to see them off. The city was relatively small, so everyone heard about Kalano sailing to find Lakiakulus. Although they didn't think it was a good thing, because of Kalano's relationship with them, everyone came to see them off. The scene was quite spectacular. There was even a fisherman who found a small cannon, about 30mm caliber, and gave it to Kalano. He didn't know what they were thinking. Did they expect to use this thing to fight monsters?
No matter what, the ship set sail just like that. Not long after they set off from the port, Kalano walked to the front of the ship. He seemed to be observing the surroundings, looking for Lakiakulus' location. Li Huailin walked up curiously, but found that Kalano's eyes were closed.
"Okay, got it." After a while, Kalano opened his eyes. "Everyone, turn the rudder left and head west. Lakiakulus is in the west."
"Huh? You found him just like that? How did you find him? Don't tell me you can find Lakiakulus with your eyes closed. "Li Huailin couldn't help but ask.
"What do you know?" Kalano waved his hand. "A qualified sailor can judge the direction of the storm by feeling the humidity in the air. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. There's a shortage of people at the front sail. Go help them now. Nord, teach him how to pull the sails. And you guys, go help on the deck. "
