Why
Nia recalled that the previous general of Isgard had a Siren wife.
When they got married, the general was only 40 years old, in the prime of his life. But within two years of marriage, he was like an 80-year-old man with a broken heart. If the siren hadn't held back her desire, the former general might have died in the woman's belly...
In this situation, only a person with a fucking mental disorder would consider having sex with multiple women, right
Black Dragon muttered that the Siren's insistence on monogamy was actually a guarantee to avoid the death of their partners in a sense... But in the United Nations, this kind of guarantee is actually unnecessary, right
The black dragon recalled the battle with the devil in the floating continent, when the elves could easily use magic to pull the dying soldiers out of hell - if the elves' healing magic could be used on the bed, perhaps...
…
This is getting off topic…
Nia coughed twice, signaling the excited Chino to temporarily put aside the social laws of the United Nations, and they talked about more important things.
The first is the distribution of the Sirens. As the most popular alien race in Isgard, the Sirens can not only make lifelike flesh and blood dolls for people to enjoy, but also play an important role in military and medical fields.
According to Nia's judgment, if nothing unexpected happens, the Sirens will soon be recruited to work in the medical or industrial sectors of the United Nations.
There, the Sirens will get the respect and working conditions they want, but whether they can find a man to start a family and a career depends on whether they have the courage to snatch food from other women.
The second is also what Nia is most concerned about.
"Kino, do you remember the old legend? That is... the legend that the Sirens are actually immigrants from another continent?"
After the battle in the Kingdom of Eden ended, Nia actually took some time to discuss some things about the ancient continent with the magic puppets.
She learned about the goddess of fire that once existed on the continent of Orros, the past of the continent of Eden, the origin of the Byzantines, and the existence of a sunken continent called Alantis in the west and the Siren immigrants.
Therefore, Nia wanted to take this opportunity to find out whether the Sirens still had a "legacy" of the past. In response to Nia's question, Chino just shook his head blankly:
"Who knows? Only the old ladies remember this kind of legend... How can we, the new generation of sirens, be interested in the legends of the past? It's not an interesting movie or comic."
"Alas. It was indeed my mistake to expect you, the new generation, to be interested in the legends of the past..."
"Who would be willing to be bound by the legends of the past if it is not necessary? Lady Nia, don't you also think that the legend of the black dragon "only solving problems with force" is no longer applicable to this era?"
"That's true..."
Nia sighed. The Sirens who came this time did not know the legends of the past, but at least Nia figured out one thing: those old Sirens who had been in Isgard for nearly a thousand years might know very well what happened in the past.
If we could find out the location of the sunken continent and organize a salvage team to conduct archaeological salvage, perhaps Ishugard could escape from its predicament through its own efforts
I just wonder if there are any demons surviving in the deep sea...
Thinking back to the rapidly evolving demons on the floating continent, Nia's mouth twitched, and she thought it would be better for her not to let Margarita take any risks.
Thinking of Margarita... Nia quickly added: "By the way, what's the situation with Margarita?"
"You mean Miss President? Well... There is a small rebellion caused by capitalists in the country, but when we went to sea, the rebellion had been almost suppressed..."
There seems to be a rebellion in Isugard—a rebellion "forced" by the president's daughter.
Under the laws of Isgard, the profit-seeking merchants had to rise up in arms to protect their property.
They tried to undermine the authority of the Presidentess through propaganda, and pinned their hopes on the empty time when Isgard was diverting its main forces to fight the colonial war.
With insufficient military forces, Miss President will not directly use military means to deal with these "good citizens who have to stand up to protect their property", right
After all, businessmen have their own righteousness! In this case, the best strategy is to negotiate and compromise through diplomatic means, right? Who would kill all the profit-seeking businessmen just for this? Impossible, right
As the merchants waited, the President of Isgard shattered all the beautiful environment in front of them with a sharp blade.
Not only does Miss President have to use military action to deal with all the merchants who have risen up in rebellion, she even has to re-establish her own authority through this rebellion.
Led by the president's daughter, Ishgard's elite troops quickly broke through the defense line of the rebellious areas, which were composed of mercenaries hired by merchants with money.
The two sides fought an asymmetric war, and in the end almost every battle ended with the merchants' disastrous defeat.
By the time Kino and the others went out to sea, the rebellion had actually been almost suppressed.
300 well-known and wealthy businessmen were executed on the spot, and all their property was directly used to rebuild local people's livelihood or enrich the national treasury.
Thanks to the efforts of the President's daughter, the impact of the rebellion is gradually being eliminated, and the hidden dangers within Isgard have been resolved ahead of schedule.
Although it was difficult for Nia to judge whether this move of digging out the flesh as soon as a tumor was found somewhere in the body would make Ishugard a better place... But to be honest, she also hated those ungrateful businessmen.
After all, Roman's ungrateful merchants had left her with a very bad impression... If they could hoard food in large quantities in order to make more dirty money, then next time they could replace the protective gear and medical supplies that ensured the safety of the soldiers' lives with inferior goods in order to make more money!
In order to prevent people who are loyal to the country from being harmed by capitalist businessmen, we should get rid of these businessmen in advance... Isn't it correct
Nia muttered. At this time, Chino curiously asked about the current situation of their enemy, the Roman Empire, on the Elucia Road.
“I heard from those scholars who fled that the situation in the Roman Empire was very bad... but I have no idea what kind of “bad” they meant
Lady Nia, you have been here for a long time, I think you should be relatively familiar with the Romans, right? So can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what the Romans are doing? "
"Let's just forget about this, shall we?"
"Why?"
"After all, it's really bad for children. Forget it. Later in the United Kingdom, you can learn about the situation of the Roman Empire through the statements of the elves and the Bayerzans... They are very friendly to outsiders, so you can ask them yourself, understand?"
"oh… "
Looking at Chino who nodded obediently in front of him, Black Dragon sighed and decided to take them to Constantinople to meet with His Majesty Yang Hao to confirm the results of the "transaction" first.
But at this moment, the guard standing outside the door rushed in and said: His Majesty wants to see you.
It turned out that after learning that the fleet of Isgard was about to arrive at their port, Yang Hao and others were ready to meet them.
But on second thought, just waiting like this was not a good idea - so after letting Theresa stay in the palace to work, Yang Hao went to the port with Fen and others, preparing to inspect the first pot of gold he was about to get while discussing the next transaction with Nia.
Instead of waiting in an office along the coast, they took a break at the observation deck at the harbor.
They watched as the merchant ships of Ishugard moved box after box of gold to the warehouse, while the small golems of the United Nations moved barrel after barrel of magic storage devices filled with magic onto the ship.
One hand delivers the goods, the other hand pays the money - what a reasonable and efficient way of doing business. Yang Hao likes it this way.
So, those women who seem to have fin-like organs on their ears... are they sirens
"It looks very similar to the antlers on Naruga's head. It should be the "magic organ" used by the Sirens to release magic, right?"
Yang Hao watched curiously, and after reaching out and touching Nalujia's head, who had come close to him at some point, he came to this conclusion.
"Actually, I'm more curious about how long the Sirens can stay underwater... After all, it seems that there is no race in our United Nations that can stay underwater for a long time to work?"
"After all, our alien races all come from inland areas, and they are also from the forest. You can't expect wild wolves in the forest to be good at swimming in the sea, right?"
Fen, who was standing by, rolled her eyes and also imitated Yang Hao's action to touch Nalujia's head - but she was petite and had to stand on tiptoe to touch the top of Nalujia's head.
"That's right... But then again, I thought the Siren immigrants that Nia promised would come in two years... In this case, our transactions here will have to be brought forward accordingly."
"Isn't it just a technical transaction code? Just tell it orally."
"But Nia will probably plan to send me on a business trip to Isgard in advance. I mean this - ah, they are coming... But then again, is Nia so conservative in front of her own people? Why would she dress so attractively in front of me..."
Hearing this, Fen was stunned for a moment, and then could only sigh helplessly.
Let's not talk about the black dragon's dress for now, let's talk about the important things that will happen during the business trip to Ishugard.
Who made Yang Hao in such an urgent situation that he had to ask Heilong to work harder and make an offer that he couldn't refuse
But since they have already agreed, the United Nations must not betray their promise.
Otherwise, not only will we be quite passive in diplomacy in the future, but more importantly, Ishgard is also an important ally of the United Nations and must not be abandoned...
Forget it. Isn't it just letting her man go on a business trip for a year or two? After handing over the portal technology to Ishugard and transferring a large amount of magic storage equipment, Fen can even send Yang Hao to work on time every morning and pick him up at a fixed time every evening after confirming the location...
In this situation, what else can the Isgardians do to their men? It's very difficult! If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that Fen will just stick to him every day.
And in this case, who knows, the one who will be the most jealous at that time might be Sister Teresa... After all, there is no way she can give up her job at Bayerjas and go to Isgard together, right
Hmm…
The little elf has already planned every detail about his future with Yang Hao as well as various conspiracies and intrigues.
And just at this moment, the elf ranger came from afar with urgent news.
When they came over, the Black Dragon happened to have brought his descendants here, and naturally heard all the contents of the elf's urgent report.
"Your Majesty - the Roman Empire has once again launched a spontaneous military operation... and the target they chose seems to be the "Skool Territory" that we planned to occupy in the south!"
The elf's urgent report stunned everyone.
Especially for Yang Hao, who knew the Shkool Territory best, the only two valuable things in that place besides mines were farmland and forests, and nothing else. How could a group of civilians try to break through the blockade of the living dead in the name of military action
Faced with Yang Hao's confusion, the Ranger just stepped forward and whispered an uncertain piece of intelligence they had learned:
Those who are trying to pass through the blockade of the living dead are all believers of the Church of Light from other regions -
They didn't understand what the parish had done, nor did they know what was going on with the group of undead. It seemed that the reason they were moving towards the Territory of Skool was because of a "divine revelation".
A "divine revelation" from the God of Light himself to this group of believers - especially after thinking of Teresa's constant insistence that "Light" was urging them to go to the rescue, Yang Hao became more certain of one thing:
The God of Light, I’m afraid he is really anxious.
Chapter 7: Unexpected Incident and Nia's Sigh - 8K
April 14th.
As the peasants from the surrounding areas of the Roman Empire walked through the canyon roads where the living dead once lived and were now filled with only bones and corpses, they were less than five days' walk from the territory of Skool.
These peasants all carried some tokens of the Church of Light, such as a small cross necklace or a cross tattoo branded on their shoulders.
All in all, the fact that they are believers of the Church of Light in a remote area is an indisputable reality.
The reason why they were moving cautiously in groups towards the direction of the Skull Territory was because they received a revelation called "Divine Revelation".
The so-called "divine revelations" are actually mostly just what we see and hear in dreams - but this world is a world where gods really exist.
Perhaps most gods would not bother to control their believers through dreams, but for some despicable people who have no way to go higher, it is normal for Wuji to not use it.
The God of Light sent a message, a hint, and an order to believers in remote areas through dreams.
The news—naturally, it was the news that the culprit responsible for all the natural and man-made disasters in the Roman Empire was in the territory of Scuol.
The hint - of course, is that as long as the believers execute the culprit, everything will be fine and His Majesty the Regent will return to the Roman Empire.
The order - naturally, it was an order for the believers to go to Skool County.
Only one of the above three is true, but for those people who have long been living in despair, even false hope is like a blessing to them.
They started packing up almost in the early morning after waking up, and after following the safe path guided by the God of Light and passing through the passage that was once occupied by the living dead, they became more convinced of the authenticity of this large-scale divine revelation.
"Only God can lead us to such a safe path..." A believer holding a wooden stick murmured devoutly, "If we can find the culprit who caused the empire to fall into such a situation under the guidance of the God of Light, perhaps everything will be fine."
"Right! I said that the ability to make tens of thousands of people have the same dream can only be possessed by God! Even the most powerful wizard in the empire can't make all of us have the same dream from such a long distance, not to mention that the content of the dream is almost exactly the same!"
"The only question is, do we really have the ability to solve the culprit? You know, we are just a group of farmers..."
For these believers, they have long lost the ability to question God's revelations.
On the one hand, they really want to end the current war as soon as possible and return to a peaceful and stable life.
On the other hand, the believers' faith in God is blind - since God wants them to kill someone, they just kill that person and that's it.
Under such circumstances, these believers temporarily showed unparalleled cohesion - but for them, there was still a puzzle in their hearts that needed to be answered...
That is - do they really have the ability to solve the culprit themselves
During the rest period, the farmers cooked the bones they picked up along the way and added moss and grass to them.
There is still some bone marrow in these bones. Although it cannot really fill the stomach, it can at least fill the stomach with water so that there is no problem in moving around next.
They drank the turbid hot soup, and as they drank, they gestured to each other about how skinny they were.
After all, to be honest, if they were not farmers but a group of warriors, perhaps they would not have any doubts about "whether we can fight the enemy".
But the problem is - are they really just a bunch of peasants? There are not even more than 200 people with combat experience, and most of them don't even know how to hold a stick correctly, let alone fight with others!
"But don't forget! We have tens of thousands of people here! Men, women, old and young! It's impossible that tens of thousands of people can't beat even one person, right?"
An older border priest sneered and drank the hot soup in the broken wooden bowl. He chewed a finger bone and greedily sucked out the marrow: "Besides... the God of Light gave us a revelation, which means that the enemy is actually an enemy that we can fight against - maybe it's just a bastard, a whore, or a fucking brat..."
"Then why doesn't the God of Light come here in person?"
"Have you ever seen the emperor working the fields himself? Idiot!"
Although they didn't know what kind of enemy they were going to face, they were sure that these believers believed that they were enemies they could fight against. Otherwise, why would the God of Light specifically ask them to go
All in all, these guys are a nuisance. With so many people, they may not be able to destroy everything in Skool Territory, but if they are allowed to enter Skool Territory and wreak havoc, it will cause serious trouble for the United Nations' subsequent deployment.
So after much deliberation, the elves observing from the trees decided to bring back the latest information through magic - and then, this is the current situation.
