After three days of sailing, Zhuo Bufan's ship finally arrived at the Flying Bird Archipelago where Serpent Pearl Nation was located.
The people of Serpent Pearl Nation could live thousands of meters under the sea.
However, they spent most of their time on the archipelago above sea level.
There was a huge island in the middle of the Flying Bird Archipelago.
A stone city was built on the island.
This stone city was the capital of Serpent Pearl Nation, Serpent City!
When Zhuo Bufan stepped onto Serpent City's territory, he realized that this nation was even more backward than he had imagined.
There was no science or technology here. Compared to Famli, this was a completely primitive society.
The people of Serpent Pearl Nation lived in cave-like stone houses. The streets were filled with fish and dried fish that they hung out to dry.
This was the capital of Serpent Pearl Nation, yet it was already like this.
This showed how backward Serpent Pearl Nation was.
Zhuo Bufan suddenly understood why the people of Serpent Pearl Nation wanted Famli's scientific results.
They also wanted to improve and didn't want to live such a backward life.
Cooperating with Famli was undoubtedly their wisest choice.
This was the only way for Serpent Pearl Nation to develop in the shortest time possible.
The difference in development between the races of the sea and those of the land was simply too great.
...
"Great Sage! As you can see, we Serpent Pearl Nation still live a more primitive life compared to the people of the land.
Because the sea is more isolated and not suitable for academic research. Thus, until now, we have lagged behind the land by a lot.
This is also why we are working so hard to work with Famry.
"We have a student traveller on our island. He told us about Famli."
After we found out that Famli is the most outstanding technological empire on the land, we immediately came to seek cooperation.
Forming an alliance with Famli is the best choice for us. "
The elder said to Zhuo Bufan.
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan lightly nodded. He felt that the elder's words made sense.
"Yes, I agree with you.
The current Famli does indeed need to cooperate with a resource-rich nation like yours.
"I heard from the empress that your Flood Dragon Pearl Country has brought a lot of seabed resources that the mainland doesn't have."
"The Famli scientists are quite satisfied with the resources you've provided."
"One of the most important reasons I came to the Dragon Pearl Country is to take a look at your country's situation."
"Cooperation is inevitable, but as for how we will cooperate, I will need to discuss it with your king personally."
Although Zhuo Bufan had come to the Flood Dragon Pearl Country for Meng Chanyi, he had no choice but to admit it.
However, he didn't forget his promise to Serena.
After hearing this, the elder nodded at Zhuo Bufan.
"I understand! In that case, please follow me into the capital, Great Sage. "
"I think His Majesty is already waiting outside the city gate to welcome you."
…
Soon, Zhuo Bufan followed the elder and arrived outside Monarch City.
The closer they got to King City, the more prosperous the buildings Zhuo Bufan found.
Although they were still made of stone, they became more orderly and taller.
It wasn't just the buildings on both sides. Even the path under their feet became wider and wider. At the end, there was a red carpet under their feet.
The red carpet extended all the way to a white city wall not far away.
Behind the walls of White City, there were buildings as white as ivory.
At the foot of the city wall stood a group of Flood Dragon Pearl People.
These Flood Dragon Pearl People had clearly been waiting there for Zhuo Bufan and the others to arrive.
The leader of the Flood Dragon Pearl People was wearing a luxurious golden robe.
Although he still had the head of a human and the body of a snake, one could faintly see the shadow of a human emperor.
At this moment, the Flood Dragon Pearl Elder whispered to Zhuo Bufan.
"Great Sage, the person in front is the current king of Flood Dragon Pearl Country, Flood Wave Emperor!"
"I've already sent a flying fish to inform the emperor of our return. It must be the Great Emperor's descendant who arranged such a grand occasion to welcome you. "
Hearing the elder's words, Zhuo Bufan didn't say anything. He just calmly walked towards the Flood Wave Great Emperor.
When the two sides were a hundred meters apart, Flood Wave Emperor suddenly swam towards Zhuo Bufan.
"Sir, you must be the prime minister of the Famuri Empire!" "Welcome to our Flood Dragon Pearl Country, sir!"
Zhuo Bufan did not expect that the other party, a dignified king, would actually lower himself to personally come and greet him.
This surprised Zhuo Bufan.
"Your Majesty has personally come to welcome me. I'm truly ashamed!"
Zhuo Bufan noticed that this Hai Flood Wave Emperor was different from ordinary Flood Dragon Pearl People.
He had two horns on his head, showing his unique aura of a king.
It could be seen that this Flood Wave Emperor was very easy-going. He didn't seem to be uncomfortable with Zhuo Bufan at all.
Zhuo Bufan had always treated people the same way. He would return politeness with politeness and use violence to curb violence.
Since the other side was kind and polite to him, he would naturally return the favor.
As for Hai Flood Wave Emperor, he had been waiting for the stars and the moon, and finally, an envoy from the Famuri Empire had come.
He wanted to complete the cooperation between the two countries more than anyone else.
What he didn't expect was that the Famuri Empire would actually send a prime minister to negotiate.
That way, he would be even more confident about the alliance this time.
"Esteemed Prime Minister, a banquet has already been set up in the palace. How about we go inside and eat while we talk? "
Hai Flood Wave Emperor smiled at Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan smiled and said, "Of course.
"Sure, I've already heard about it on the way here. Your Jiao Zhu Country has a very delicious dish called the Absolute Delicacy. Today, I must try it."
The two sides chatted and laughed as they walked into the palace.
Zhuo Bufan also didn't expect that he would get along so well with a king.
The two sides arrived at the banquet and quickly drank and chatted merrily.
In the end, Hai Flood Wave Emperor drank until he lost consciousness.
Of course, Zhuo Bufan didn't drink much. He knew that he had come to Flood Dragon Pearl Country alone and that there could be danger lurking around him at any time.
So, he had to stay awake at all times and not drink too much.
After the banquet, Zhuo Bufan could be considered to have found a place to stay in Flood Dragon Pearl Country for the time being.
During the banquet, Zhuo Bufan learned a very important piece of information from the drunk Hai Flood Wave Emperor.
It was about why Flood Dragon Pearl Country chose to cooperate with the Famuri Empire.
It was that Flood Dragon Pearl Country had encountered a crisis, a crisis where the big fish would eat the small fish and the big one would swallow the small one.
Flood Dragon Pearl Country was only a small country among the hundreds of empires in the ocean.
Rather than saying that it was an overlord, it was more accurate to say that it only had ten-odd islands.
There were many island nations like Flood Dragon Pearl Country in the ocean.
They often fought with each other for territory.
In the past, the Flood Dragon Pearl Country had always relied on their powerful individual combat ability to protect their land from being invaded.
So, Flood Dragon Pearl Country was one of the more stable island nations among the many maritime empires.
However, in the past decade, the situation in the South Sea had become more and more tense.
After hundreds of years of fighting, a few superpowers had appeared in the ocean.
They were like sharks in the sea, ferociously preying on all kinds of weak prey.
Flood Dragon Pearl Country didn't expect that as a powerful sea tribe, they would soon be at the bottom of the food chain.
Flood Dragon Pearl Country's population was too small. In the face of a sea war with millions of people, they simply couldn't resist.
So, Flood Dragon Pearl Country thought of asking for help from the mainland.
In fact, they didn't look for the Famuri Empire at first.
Instead, they wanted to cooperate with a powerful empire like Eckstedt.
However, Eckstedt didn't care about Flood Dragon Pearl Country at all.
Eckstedt didn't want to get involved in a sea war for a tiny place that they couldn't even manage.
So, Eckstedt rejected Flood Dragon Pearl Country in the end.
It wasn't just Eckstedt. The other larger empires didn't want to cooperate with a small island nation.
Afterwards, Flood Dragon Pearl Country found a few smaller empires on the mainland. However, these empires were in danger and didn't have the strength to cooperate with Flood Dragon Pearl Country.
Moreover, Flood Dragon Pearl Country was an island nation. There were many differences between an island nation and a land nation.
So, in the end, Flood Dragon Pearl Country couldn't find a better partner.
At that time, they found out that there was a newly established Famuri Empire on the mainland.
This Famuri Empire was once the most powerful technological empire on the mainland.
However, due to its small population and lack of fighting power, Eckstedt destroyed it in the end.
The Famuri people became the lowest class of people on the mainland.
Now, the newly established Famuri Empire was surrounded by a gravity domain and completely cut off from the other empires on the mainland.
As a result, Flood Dragon Pearl Country's opportunity came.
So, Hai Hongbo sent people to contact the Famuri Empire and wanted to cooperate with them.
So, Hai Hongbo was full of expectations for the Famuri Empire.
It could be said that no one looked forward to the cooperation of the two empires more than him.
… …
Zhuo Bufan sent his understanding of the situation and some information to the intelligence department of the Famuri Empire through a sound transmission stone.
In Zhuo Bufan's eyes, Flood Dragon Pearl Country was a country worth cooperating with.
Zhuo Bufan planned to help the Famuri Empire form an alliance with Flood Dragon Pearl Country first.
Then, he would look for clues about Meng Chanyi.
In the next few days, Zhuo Bufan and Hai Hongbo discussed the matter of cooperation between the two empires.
The cooperation between the two sides wasn't just talk.
It required real action.
The first phase of the cooperation was in terms of resources.
Because the Famuri Empire was a coastal empire, the coastal waters just happened to belong to Flood Dragon Pearl Country.
Currently, Famuri was in urgent need of large amounts of meat.
Fish was clearly the best choice.
And the first phase of the cooperation between Flood Dragon Pearl Country and Famuri was the simplest kind of meat supply.
Flood Dragon Pearl Country would be in charge of transporting the fish to the coast for the fishermen of the Famuri Empire to catch.
On the other hand, the Famuri Empire would set up all sorts of fish processing plants along the coastline, specifically in charge of supplying fish to Yundu and other cities.
In this aspect, Flood Dragon Pearl Country didn't ask for anything in return! It could be said that they were helping for free.
Hai Hongbo was very smart and knew that cooperation had to be long term.
They had to show enough sincerity to get the Famuri Empire to provide them with the best science and technology.
And the second phase of the cooperation was in terms of resources.
For the Famuri Empire, Flood Dragon Pearl Country's greatest attraction was their seabed resources.
In the sea, there were countless resources that couldn't be found on land.
These resources were very important for scientific research.
Famuri wanted to reach the peak of his scientific level as soon as possible.
Thus, they had to have the best materials.
According to the contract, Flood Dragon Pearl Country would provide the Famuri Empire with a batch of resources from the sea every month.
And this time, the Famuri Empire would have to give something in return.
For example, some scientific resources, some science and technology, as well as sending some scholars to Flood Dragon Pearl Country to impart scientific knowledge, and so on.
Since they were going to cooperate, there had to be a deeper level of cooperation.
And so, the third phase of the cooperation between the two empires was the exchange of core technologies.
And the core technologies were undoubtedly arcane arts.
Both Famuri's and Flood Dragon Pearl's arcane arts had their own merits.
In particular, Famuri's arcane arts contained a revolutionary formula that could change the laws of the world.
Of course, it wasn't time for the third phase of the cooperation yet.
The time wasn't ripe yet, and the two empires still needed a long period of time to get used to each other.
In any case, Zhuo Bufan and Hai Hongbo had discussed the matter of the two empires' alliance for a long time.
They had basically reached a multi-faceted cooperation agreement.
Finally, Zhuo Bufan was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
After interacting with Hai Hongbo for the past few days, Zhuo Bufan had learned a few things about the Great Sage Skydream.
What Zhuo Bufan hadn't expected was that the Great Sage Skydream was actually Hai Hongbo's younger brother, Hai Skydream.
Skydream had been extremely intelligent since he was young, and he had won the hearts of the people.
Even the previous king, Hai Tianbo, had raised Skydream as his successor.
After his death, he had even passed his Skywave Pearl to Skydream.
However, Skydream didn't want to be king.
He even took the initiative to pass the throne to his elder brother, who was the current Hai Hongbo.
After Hai Hongbo obtained the throne, he had decided to make his younger brother Skydream the Great Sage of the Sea God's Palace.
This way, all the citizens of Flood Dragon Pearl Nation would be under the two brothers' management.
However, Skydream had no intention of becoming the Great Sage.
After obtaining the Skywave Pearl, Skydream had directly disappeared.
He had disappeared for more than twenty years, and there had been no news of him ever since.
So, when Hai Hongbo found out that the Skywave Pearl was in Zhuo Bufan's hands, the first thing he did was to ask Zhuo Bufan where his younger brother was!
How would Zhuo Bufan know where his younger brother was? He was also looking for Skydream Sage!
Although the Heavenly Dream Saint was like a mysterious man who had disappeared without a trace, the Heavenly Dream Saint was like a mystery.
However, the longer Zhuo Bufan stayed in Flood Dragon Pearl Nation, the more he realized that Skydream Sage and Flood Dragon Pearl Nation weren't as simple as they seemed on the surface.
