Chapter 80 6. The Trade Tycoon's Accident
A shiny black raven flew across the night sky and landed on Daquus's shoulder armor.
"Grandma, will my journey go smoothly?"
The raven stared at Dacus for a while, and an old lady's kind voice echoed in Dacus' mind: "Child, I can't see the road ahead of you. Your path is unpredictable."
"What about them?"
Dacius was asking this question to the group of powerful and influential attendants around him, hoping to insinuate something. The elders standing behind him avoided looking at the raven as usual, but only the newcomer, Elmir, stared at it curiously.
"Child, they are already intertwined with you, and their fate is in your hands!" The raven turned its head and looked at them and said, then the raven flew away and disappeared into the night sky.
"It's really watertight." Dacus sighed and shook his head.
There is a saying that goes, even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit.
But Dacus felt that this raid had started well but ended poorly, and that it was just that. He turned back to look at the nobles and their attendants, spread his arms, and said sinisterly, "Let's move around, Ryan!"
"Yes, sir!" the royal painter, Ryan, said hoarsely, understanding what he meant. What was a wise man? A wise man was someone who didn't wallow in the sweetness of a newlywed life. He had already vaguely guessed something and had begun learning the Lizardman language from Chupakoko. He was speaking it a bit more like it, with the hissing and crackling sound of Lizardman speech. But Daquus couldn't understand a word of his Lizardman language. Instead, he found it quite funny and laughed every time he heard it. He wondered if Chupakoko had been up to no good, teaching him some nonsense.
Inside the town, Genevieve stood in a cage, her hands gripping the bars, watching in fear as the dark vortex swept towards her.
Genevieve previously engaged in the import and export maritime trade between Aurora and Nipon, becoming a renowned trade tycoon. Later, she met a master named A-Po, and for the next thirty years, she learned martial arts and controlled her vampire bloodlust. Now, she only needs a few drops of blood to maintain her long-term survival.
Master Po told her many stories about Aurora and tried to teach her some mysterious oriental powers, but unfortunately she had no talent for magic and never learned it. She couldn't even do the basic operation of vampires turning into bats and flying around at midnight. If she had learned it, she wouldn't be trapped in the cage.
Afterwards, Master Abao was recruited by the Zhendan court, and the two of them parted ways. No, it should be a midnight noble vampire and a dragonborn?
Yin Tuan, a former disciple of Po's master, the legendary captain and captain of the palace guard, published his legendary adventures after he retired in old age, which caused a sensation in China. Influenced by Yin Tuan's legendary biography, Genevieve decided to embark on the journey again and continue her journey around the world. She took a ship through the sea between Nebon and Lustria.
Then Genevieve's bad luck began. Not long after setting out from Nibon, they encountered a typhoon and the ship deviated from its course. Miraculously, she encountered an extremely large block of marble floating in the sea. In front of the stone was a huge black dragon head prow, and the stone was hung with a huge black and purple sail that blew up in the wind. She had seen a similar one on the coast of Zhendan, but that one was stranded on the shore, and then nothing happened.
If she was right, she should have knocked down Loxia the Corrupted Heart's Black Ark, the Tower of the Blessed Villain.
When Genevieve woke up again, she had been washed ashore by the ocean current. She ate some tropical fruit and bravely walked into the jungle. After a few days deep in the jungle, she discovered a huge statue carved in the shape of a lizard man. A group of explorers were trapped there. As the saying goes, "fellow countrymen meet like countrymen, and they stab each other in the back." When she heard a familiar accent, she decided to help the explorers.
This group of explorers consisted entirely of her fellow Bretonnians, led by a knight of Bordello, who, without inheritance rights, wielded not the traditional Bretonnian longsword but a large obsidian club, the kind used by lizardmen. The villagers were surprised and intrigued that such a skilled Bretonnian girl had appeared in such a remote place, so much so that they thought she was hallucinating from the jungle's toxic miasma. However, they were impressed by her strength and did not embarrass her. Besides, having a reliable force would increase their chances of escaping the jungle. What would a successful escape hold?
Bad luck soon followed, and one night they were attacked by Araby's slave-catching team.
Genevieve was now imprisoned in a cage in the Skoge slave trading area. Arabi, the slave trader, came crawling over, kneeling on the ground, frantically pulling the key from the bosom of his robe, hoping to save his property. In his panic, he finally pulled the key out. However, at this moment, he heard a terrifying sound behind him. He turned his head and saw the terrifying dark vortex swirling towards him. He screamed hysterically in fear and felt himself take off, and then nothing happened.
The powerful suction of the dark vortex began to pull at the cage containing Genevieve. The cage left the ground and flew into the dark vortex. If Daquus had stood on the ground at that moment, he would have seen a cage and a screaming woman reflected on the moon. What moon on a bicycle?
When she reached mid-air, her bad luck vanished. The dark vortex suddenly dissipated, as if it had never raged before, and the cage in mid-air slammed down to the ground, knocking her unconscious.
Under the powerful suppression of naval and air firepower and magic, the Duruchi soldiers and Black Ark pirates began to climb the port's seawall. As for the black dragon? It believed its mission was accomplished, so it flew back to its dragon nest and continued to sleep.
Bloody and brutal street fighting broke out. All the mercenaries, pirates, explorers, adventurers, crew members and Norse guards in the town of Skogi were dispatched. In short, all the humans in the town of Skogi who could fight rushed out to defend their port, including the Norse women who rushed out with weapons.
Edmund still held high the Hadrica given to him by Dacun and organized the attack of these Druchi soldiers. The flag bearer behind him also held high the flag of Clarkalond.
Although the attacking Duruchi were a mob in Daxus's eyes, they still gained the upper hand the moment they made contact. The humans on the other side were even weaker. They weren't even an army, just a chaotic mass of sheep. Some wanted to attack, some wanted to retreat, and a few wanted to step forward and act as sheepdogs. Unfortunately, they were then shot in the head by the Black Sharp Crossbowmen and Black Ark Pirates.
People waved their weapons desperately, and the Drukis also formed a tight formation and advanced to attack, chopping humans down to the ground like leeks.
There's a little BUG Easter egg in this chapter, can any readers find it? _(:з」∠)_
