For the island nations of the Endless Sea, relying on the sea to survive was not realistic.
The seawater contained a certain characteristic that was extremely corrosive. Even a Transcendent could not survive for a few minutes underwater. Only the native sea monsters could survive.
Sea monsters were huge, but most of them were inedible. However, after countless attempts by their ancestors, Bluewater Dukedom discovered several kinds of sea monsters that were not only edible but also extremely delicious. They were deeply loved by the upper nobles.
"An Emperor-class Sea Serpent, extract its essence, we can at least exchange it for a Baron's title …"
As the people of the Tree Shade Empire, although the original crew had only sailed at sea for more than a month, they had already dug deep into the sea monster ingredients.
There was nothing much to do at sea. Apart from playing Mahjong, Fight the Landlord, Three Kingdoms, and so on, they could only fight sea monsters.
For every new sea monster that appeared, there would be someone who would use a detection crystal to detect its attributes, including but not limited to its edible nature, and record it in the new species and sea monster illustrated handbook. Some of them even included cooking methods.
They didn't know when it started, but among the several attributes analyzed by the Detection Crystal, one of them must be related to food.
A level 3 edible sea monster, the people on the ship were very greedy. A spicy big one could eat at least two to a day and a half.
Then they saw a few slightly smaller ships stopped hundreds of meters away, and their voices came from afar.
"What are they saying?"
"They seem to be saying that this sea monster belongs to them, and they want us to return it."
A crew member who had passed the Language Proficiency exam, which meant that he knew mental translation, explained to the other Awakening Class crew members.
Lorraine and the others had no barriers to communication, so they immediately analyzed the other party's language.
She made a gesture, and a sailor raised a black and white flag with two crossed machetes and a skull drawn on it.
"Uh-huh, we're pirates now …"
Art was the circulating language of the Myriad World. Although the people on the opposite ship didn't know the famous pirate flag, the flag with a skull drawn on it didn't look very beautiful no matter how they looked at it.
Lorraine, who was wearing a tight leather suit, jumped up from the bow of the ship. She couldn't fly, but she tapped the air with the tip of her foot, and a wave of air exploded. She tapped the air several times and landed on the enemy's flagship.
Her fingers rested on the revolver in her holster and raised it.
Bang!
An orange bullet spun out and hit the main mast of the flagship. In an instant, the runic patterns on the main mast were about to appear, but before they could completely appear, they were completely pierced through.
With a bang, the defensive runes shattered, and the orange-yellow bullet pierced through the flagship's main mast. Kacha, kacha, the huge hardwood main mast broke and fell into the sea, causing the ship to shake violently.
"Submit, or die."
Lorraine made a domineering declaration.
On the flagship, the captain and the first and second officers looked at each other. What was she talking about?
However, they still knelt down immediately. They knew very well how tough the mainmast of the flagship was. Even a level-3 sea monster would find it difficult to destroy it, so they couldn't afford to provoke it.
At this time,
The others had already boarded small boats and quickly approached, taking control of the other armed fishing boats.
Bamboo Rat Oguri arrived in front of the few people who were obviously the leaders. Her eyes lit up, and her illusory technique invaded their minds.
"Tell me your past, ahem, origins."
"We belong to the Blue Water Duchy, and we are the fishing fleet of the Purple Agate Earl. The Purple Agate Earl is a powerful noble, and the Blue Water Duchy is currently at war with the Azure Fury Duchy to the west."
The Blue Water Duchy was an archipelago country, and it had a total of thirteen large islands and several small islands.
The Purple Agate Earl was a powerful noble in the Blue Water Duchy, and he was one of the meritorious ministers who followed the Blue Water Duchy to establish the country. He controlled one of the large islands.
"Are we going to get the sea map from the Blue Water Duchy now? The Blue Water Duchy should have a lot of information about the nearby seas, and with the strength that the Blue Water Duchy has shown, it shouldn't be difficult to get the sea map."
Shay spat out a cloud of smoke. "I don't think there's a need to be anxious. Looking for the serene sea crystal isn't a mission that can be completed in a short period of time. In comparison, we have been sailing at sea for more than a month, and I'm floating even when I walk. The most important thing now is to go ashore and rest, and taste the local delicacies and wine."
These words resonated with Lorraine's heart. She nodded in agreement, her hand supporting her chin as she pondered seriously …
"Moreover, we will definitely pass by many places in the process of looking for the serene sea crystal. Isn't it too wasteful to only look for the sea map? We can also make some extra money. It just so happens that the Blue Water Duchy is at war, and my space ring just happens to be filled with war materials."
"If there's a shortage of goods, can't we just ask the lord to come over and open a teleportation array?" Bamboo Rat Oguri looked up at Lorraine, not quite understanding.
"Using the goods I brought to trade is called making extra money. When the lord opens the teleportation array, it will be the territory's income. Understand? This is why I can open bars all over the Green Shade City and all the sub-territories, and why you still owe me money for the wine."
"I … I drank the wine with my own ability. How can it be considered as owing money?"
Based on the two factors of "no discord, no concord" and "physical persuasion," the captain of the fishing fleet introduced Lorraine and the others to the Purple Agate Earl.
Yes, the captain of the fishing fleet was very sincere, and he was also a noble in the Blue Water Duchy. He was also a big shot who could directly meet the Purple Agate Earl.
This was not surprising.
In the Endless Sea, ships were strategic weapons. The fishing fleet caught sea monsters. Even the smallest sea monster was enough to overturn an ordinary ship that was twenty or thirty meters long.
The Genesis was docked at a certain port on the Purple Agate Island. With the endorsement of the fishing ship captain, the identity issue was not a big deal.
There were not many ships docked at the port, but each of them was at least fifty meters long. Without small ships, it was impossible to survive in the Endless Sea.
"Come with me. The Earl just returned from a campaign with the Grand Duke not long ago."
The Purple Agate Island was not small. There was a main city and eighteen ordinary cities on it. The Earl's castle was located next to the main city.
By the time they arrived at the Earl's castle, it was already evening.
Lorraine, Bamboo Rat Oguri, Shay, and a few other crew members followed the fishing ship captain. For those who were born and raised in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Purple Agate Earl's castle was luxurious, and revealed a sense of vicissitudes of history.
As the fishing ship captain led the way, he proudly introduced the history of the Purple Agate Family. When they passed by a garden …
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Figures appeared on the walls of the courtyard, holding runic crossbows that flickered with cold light as they pointed at Lorraine and the others.
The road they had come from was already blocked. A large number of armored warriors rushed over from behind.
In front of them.
A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes slowly walked forward, surrounded by a dozen powerful auras.
His chin was slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of pride. His gaze fell on Lorraine and the others.
"I heard you wanted to see me."
He believed that he had already grasped the situation and guessed the other party's goal. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained it.
"Even if you have some martial strength, pirates are still pirates. You can't show it in public. Of course, I am a person who appreciates talent. As long as you follow me to the Furious Azure Dukedom and achieve military exploits, in the future, you can also obtain a noble title and become a noble. Isn't this what you want?"
But right now, the leadership is in my hands.
He thought to himself. With a smile on his face, he slightly raised his chin and quietly waited for Lorraine's reply.
Lorraine, are you stupid?
