Mermaid Kingdom of Water Vortex Continent—
Pullenberg is an important port of the Mermaid Kingdom. After opening up the waterway with humans in recent years, this port has brought huge wealth and external resources to the Mermaid Kingdom.
On the offshore ocean, densely packed sailing ships occupy the entire sight, including a large number of steam paddle steamers, prosperous ocean trade and merchant ships, completely announcing the arrival of the Age of Navigation.
Although the four tribes of humans, elves, orcs, and mermaids have still only explored a small part of the world, and have only opened up the waterways to the Yala Continent and the Water Whirlpool Continent, most of the entire vast world still lies in unlit unknown areas. However, their fleets continued to traverse the ocean, each of the originally unknown wild islands was occupied, waterways were constantly opened up, and large areas of the sea and the world outside the continent were drawn on the map.
The vast ocean between the Alan Continent, the Water Whirlpool Continent, and the Yala Continent is called the Sea of Storms by humans because of its frequent storms, dangerous sea areas, and overwhelming monsters!
Small islands on the Sea of Storms were developed and occupied, safe channels were discovered and opened up, and human footprints began to travel across the sea. In addition to a large number of adventurers who rushed to the sea for money, faith, and reputation, merchant ships The number of pirates continued to increase, and a large number of pirates were born.
Even many merchant ships and the Kingdom's navy work part-time as pirates, a very lucrative profession. The ocean is chaotic and there are no rules. The law of the jungle and burning, killing and looting are the theme songs here. There are a large number of ships and ships. The Golden Rose Kingdom and the Sheen City-State Alliance are the two most powerful forces on the ocean.
The Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom, Gina, has been in office for more than a hundred years. She has been influenced by the human world and passed down the knowledge of alchemists. After returning to the Mermaid Kingdom, she carried out reforms in the Mermaid Kingdom. First, she completely eliminated the Kuo Tao fish people. After integrating into the Mermaid Kingdom, a large number of Kuo Tao began to hold important positions in the Mermaid Kingdom.
The mermaid kingdom is divided into several classes and groups. The mermaid clan is at the top, in charge of sacrifices and royal power, the Kuo Tao fish people are in charge of military power and politics, and the bottom is divided into civilians and slaves, forming the hierarchical system of the mermaid kingdom.
In addition to reforming the ruling class of the Mermaid Kingdom, Queen Gina of the Mermaid Kingdom also vigorously developed the culture, economy, trade, and religion of the Mermaid Kingdom. She studied and imitated the model of the Alchemy Academy and trained a large number of scholars, alchemists, and other members of the Mermaid clan. Artists, architects, craftsmen, metallurgists.
As soon as the ocean arrived, it began to expand its army and build a large fleet, launched trade with the human kingdom, and successfully opened the waterway with the Alan Continent and the Yalan Continent a few years ago.
The strength of the Mermaid Kingdom's maritime fleet, which spans the Storm Sea, is enough to compete with the Kingdom of Golden Rose and the Sheen City-State Alliance. Over more than a hundred years, the changes brought to the Mermaid Kingdom are earth-shaking, including population, culture, economy, Military, all-round development.
"The changes are really big. It feels like I just took a nap, and the Mermaid Kingdom is different from what I saw before!"
Lu Zhiyu was riding a steam paddle steamer, lying on the bow of the boat. The sea breeze was blowing in his face, blowing his black hair constantly, while the wheels on both sides of the boat kept turning, and smoke was still coming out of the chimney behind, slowly. Slowly rising and dispersing into the sky.
"Ah! The wind is blowing!"
A girl with blond hair was wearing a white lace hat, a light-colored dress and red shoes. She was holding the beautiful hat tightly on her head to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
Verdanti looked at the distant coastline, raised her head and said: "There are more and more new things, and this world is really becoming more and more exciting. The originally unchanged world has become more and more colorful because of the continuous development and diversity of these lives. Colorful is what makes it so beautiful!”
Verdanti looked at Lu Zhiyu and showed a bright smile on the deck under the blue sky and white clouds, as contagious as the sun: "That's why I want to help you, dad, to build and develop this world." It’s getting better and better, the world keeps moving forward, and all life exists in this world together!”
Lu Zhiyu laughed: "Is it really so noble? Why do I feel more and more like a villain behind the scenes? Sooner or later, a messenger of justice will appear and kill me, the mastermind behind the scenes! "
Verdanti hugged Lu Zhiyu's neck, her eyes kept flickering, and she said seriously: "You are the omnipotent Creator. Everything comes from you, and everything ends with you. Your existence is us, and this world is ours." Everything on which everything depends!”
The ship docked at the Pier of Pullenburg Port. This arriving fleet was inconspicuous. It was just one of countless arrivals in Pullenburg. The large ships and sailing ships coming and going became a large number above the sea level. A beautiful landscape.
On the pier, a large number of Kuo Tao fishmen were walking among them wearing short shirts and leather pants. In the distance, there was a Poseidon priest from the mermaid clan looking towards this side.
Lu Zhiyu came here this time because he wanted to see which god seeds the mermaid clan had that could ascend to the throne of gods. There were many human beings who had the ability to ascend to the throne of gods. However, Lu Zhiyu did not want all the gods to be human races. Several other races , Lu Zhiyu also hopes to see a balanced development between them, and after Verdanti knew about it, she also wanted to come along and have a look.
———————————
The fleet that Lu Zhiyu was riding in was the fleet of the Kingdom of Mara. The Queen of the Kingdom of Mara had just appointed a maritime minister and formed a fleet belonging to the Kingdom of Mara.
After the caravan arrived at the Mermaid Kingdom, it immediately went to Adara City in the Mermaid Kingdom to meet Queen Gina of the Mermaid Kingdom, hoping to sign a bilateral trade agreement with Queen Gina and obtain a large number of economic goods and trade quotas.
The speed at which the Kingdom of Golden Rose and the Sheen City-State Alliance rely on the sea to rise is astonishingly terrifying. As a coastal kingdom with a large coastline, the Kingdom of Mara also hopes to enter this great age of navigation and occupy a major position.
At this moment, in Adala, which is known as the City of Poseidon, there is a fierce dispute within the Mermaid Kingdom. A large number of Kuo Tao fish ministers and the Mermaid clan continue to quarrel in front of Queen Gina.
"This is the tenth time our villages and towns have been robbed. We will never tolerate these human bandits!"
"All the old people and children have been killed. They are plundering our youth. I have heard that a large number of slaves from our Mermaid Kingdom have appeared on the human side, and they are even openly auctioning them!"
"Our brothers and sisters were put in cages and used like animals, and these were all done by human bandits. We must take revenge. We absolutely cannot tolerate it!"
"Yes, we should restrict these humans from entering the Water Vortex Continent, and not allow them to approach the offshore. The patrol fleet will expel them immediately when they see the human fleet!"
A large number of Kuo-toa soldiers and ministers roared in anger in the palace. They fell to their knees and cried bitterly, complaining to Her Majesty Queen Gina.
But a mermaid on the side stood up at this moment: "Your Majesty, it is the pirates who robbed the villages and towns. We should increase our strength to fight against these pirates, instead of directly closing the trade with humans. Trade has brought us huge losses. Development and wealth, our rapid development in the past few years can be seen by everyone!"
"That's right, we only need to crack down on pirates. We must not close the trading port!" Those who were robbed and used as slaves were only the low-level Kuo Tao people. For these mermaids, it was not a heart-breaking pain. The focus is on the benefits they gain from trade.
The Kuo Tao fishmen immediately jumped out and accused them: "What kind of pirates? What kind of pirates can have such a powerful fleet and be able to cross the storm sea to plunder our villages and towns? We have already found out clearly and robbed us." In this village, it is the fleet of the Kingdom of Golden Rose that trades our compatriots as slaves.”
"You talk about fighting against pirates? After pretending to be pirates, they turned around and became an official merchant ship that has a trade agreement with us. They left our waters in a swagger!"
"Revenge! Revenge!"
"We absolutely won't tolerate it!"
A large number of kuo-toa people roared in anger, and everyone looked at a beautiful blue-haired woman sitting on the throne, wearing a crown and holding a scepter. It was Gina, the mermaid queen.
Gina raised her head and said, making a decision with a solemn face: "Send an envoy immediately to inform the King of the Golden Rose Kingdom and let him explain this matter!"
"Abolish the trade agreement with the Golden Rose Kingdom!"
"Drive away all fleets and merchants from the Golden Rose Kingdom!"
"Search and investigate all those who trade slaves of the mermaid clan, all merchant ships must be searched, and those who resist will be executed directly!" 8)
