"Rodrick suddenly drowned in the Traceless Sea, suspected to have lost the favor of the sea goddess.
All the pirates in the Io Islands have gone crazy. Even the two pirate groups that were expelled by Roderick and could only survive in the distant sea have returned.
In order to gain that favor and then be recognized by Stormhorn, not only the Traceless Sea, but also the Sea of Falling Stars and the Sea of Glory were also being plundered crazily."
"Now, the sea routes have been completely interrupted. Under a series of influences, the Taixi people of McCarro, the archmage of Falling Star Island, the sea elves of the Traceless Sea, and the northern business group are all interested.
We need to join forces to take action.”
"With the development of Nature Green, although sea routes are no longer so important to us, we have still raised a fleet. Now that Roderick is gone, it is hard to say whether the next Pirate King will still recognize the previous agreement.
Already."
"In addition, the Storm Horn should now have returned to the 'Deep Sea Cave'. Legend has it that there is not only the underwater temple of the Ocean Goddess, but also the lair of the deep sea giant squid. Only priests approved by the Ocean Goddess can enter it..."
Miriam's personal report.
She knew that this man was very interested in religious things, and the token of the pirate king of the Io Islands, the legendary storm horn that could only be used by believers of the Ocean Goddess, was undoubtedly the highest level religious thing!
"Roderick drowned?"
Originally he wanted to settle down and focus on research, but even Isaac couldn't ignore such news.
The high priest of the Ocean Goddess drowned in the ocean!!!
This sounds like a joke, but...
His eyes flickered, and Isaac quickly accepted Miriam's guess.
The goddess of the ocean, also known as the "Queen of Spicy"!
Vicious, violent, and evil are synonymous with Him!
Capriciousness is His nature!
He wants to change spokespersons, even if there is no reason, this is perfectly normal!
And... He may not have no reason!
Isaac's heart moved, and some people and things appeared in his mind one by one.
For example, the shadow mage under Roderick!
Another example is Stat's plan to target Eldo!
Of course, these are just his unfounded guesses!
However, let’s not talk about guessing. As for the storm horn...
Although, according to legend, the Storm Horn can only be used by believers of the Ocean Goddess and is a symbol of the Pirate King, but... isn't it easy to become a believer of the Ocean Goddess?
Even if he can't be deceived, if he can get the thing, Isaac estimates that it will promote his research on the "King's Crown", right?
With this thought, he finally walked out of the laboratory!
Watch City, City Hall!
"Everyone, I'm sorry, the Marley family has never set foot in the ocean, and I have no interest in maritime trade. However, based on the principle of mutual assistance, if you need it, I can provide a team of elite archers as support."
Everyone from the independent body has arrived, and even Greyhardt, who has been serving under Queen Tethyr recently, has returned.
After several senators explained the situation in detail, Count Marais was the first to give up.
As the newest member of the independent body, he has no share in the maritime fleet. As the lord of Tierra del Fuego, he has no intention of setting foot on the ocean. However, as a member who has been helped by other independent bodies, even if he chooses to give up, he
Be willing to follow the principle of mutual assistance.
"Me too. If necessary, I will try my best to draw out a team of elites."
Grayhart followed Count Marais and also chose to give up.
As Ingrid's original follower, Grehart was reused after her coronation.
Now, just when he was showing off his skills in Tethyr, the Bruno family was also establishing a foothold in Tethyr, and he certainly didn't want to be distracted elsewhere.
Following Ingrid's experience, Grayhart has matured a lot. During this period of time in power, he has acquired a certain magnanimity, making the independents around him who he once wanted to call "uncle" all become more mature.
It's looking sideways.
"Sir, what do you think?"
The two of them chose to give up one after another. In the seat next to Isaac, a mage with black and white hair stared at the green dragon.
Isaac's old friend, the mage Sinclair who returned to the north to study!
Under the conditions of the rapid development of the alliance and sufficient financial and resource resources, he, who is already one of the family controllers, has a higher mage level than Isaac, and has been promoted to the 10th level.
On his body, in addition to a fireball wand, under Isaac's true knowledge, there were also several pieces of magic equipment that shone with aura, especially a talisman on his chest, whose intensity of aura was particularly conspicuous.
At his voice, the eyes of everyone present were all focused on the green dragon.
Although they are independent of each other and have no superiority or inferiority, no one will deny that there is always only one person at the core of the alliance!
With this person, they are a force that can have equal status with a country.
Without this person, even after so many years of rapid development, their combined foundation would not be as good as that of the Northern Merchant Group, let alone a kingdom like Tethyr!
"Whether or not you want to intervene, and to what extent you want to intervene, depends on what those people say. Miriam, please meet with those people on my behalf."
Isaac looked at the daughter of his old friend.
Due to his age, Old Green has gradually faded out of decision-making, and Miriam, who is in charge of the intelligence department, is taking his place.
Old Green simply did not come to this gathering, and directly handed over all the decision-making power to his daughter.
The meaning in the green dragon's eyes showed that Miriam, who had already provided a lot of information to the green dragon on her own, understood his greatest need.
And this can just promote their plan.
"Okay! The Morgan family has envoys at Nature's Green. I will send a message to McCullough and Falling Star Island. In the meantime, for those who are interested in sea routes, we might as well reach a consensus first."
Miriam nodded to the green dragon first, then looked around at everyone.
Among the people, those who had a share in the combined fleet all nodded.
Fight, definitely have to fight.
However, it is obviously impossible for them to fight alone. It is their normal operation to unite many interested parties and unite to attack the few!
Therefore, first unify the opinions on your own side, and then talk with those on the other side...
After a while of discussions and identifying the participants, the meeting was finally concluded.
Some people were leaving, others continued to discuss, and Isaac called out Master Sinclair.
"When you come back this time, you won't be in a hurry to leave, right?"
He is close and warm to old friends whom he has not seen for many years.
Having been promoted to level 10, not far from the second level, and with sufficient resources, Sinclair is worthy of his enthusiasm.
He even transformed into a human form and gave the mage a heavy slap on the shoulder.
"We have to wait until the route issue is resolved. After all, it has reached the most critical level." Although Sinclair benefited from the Green Dragon's attitude, he still remained rational.
He is only one level away from the second level.
If his family had not occupied a large share of the United Fleet, and he had been receiving the greatest support from his family's resources, he actually wanted to advance to the second level and then return here.
"Research doesn't have to be in the north." Isaac's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't show off, "You should also know that I conquered two dungeons and also obtained some from Tessel.
A batch of magic information, and the accumulation in this area, even if it is not as good as those magic holy places, it is not much worse than ordinary mages. With this, I intend to recruit some suitable mages, but I am missing a trustworthy one.
The leader..."
As a member of the independent entity, how could Sinclair not know about Green Dragon's big moves in recent years?
Now listen to the meaning of these words... He is actually willing to share the rich heritage he has accumulated over the years like this?
If so...
Sinclair's eyes flashed slightly, he only pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I do know some good wandering mages. If you really open up the relevant magic knowledge here, recruiting them should not be a big problem. Again.
Coupled with the convenient resources of the Underdark and the Green of Nature, it is not impossible to recruit even academics."
He knew the meaning of "leader" in Green Dragon's words.
To be a "leader", you must naturally have followers.
If there is none now, then he will have to do it for you and recruit them!
It could be heard that Sinclair was already secretly promising, and Isaac also smiled slightly: "Then I'll have to worry more about you. In the near future, I will prepare a research institute in Dugas first, and then do it step by step, waiting for the opportunity.
When it matures, we will look at the possibility of expanding it into a college."
Of course, he didn't say that in addition to entrusting Sinclair to recruit, he was also planning to send invitations to certain suitable targets through his own channels.
Relying solely on Sinclair is not a long-term solution.
In fact, if kobolds were not really unfit for the mage profession, he would rather cultivate it himself if he had a little bit of research ability.
Now, we can only focus on recruitment. We will see whether there is a need and background to establish a magic academy after immigration and the founding of the country!
Sinclair nodded seriously, and even immediately sent some secret messages to some friends in the north through the alliance.
…
at the same time.
Only less than ten days.
The green side of nature.
McCullough and the envoy from Falling Star Island also arrived together!
