Luna and Iridan Tina already know each other, and Tina also saw the silver star iron girls last time in the palace.
But this time there are many different people here.
She has a golden body that is almost too exposed to be exposed. Her long golden hair almost reaches her ankles, and the most eye-catching thing is her pair of extremely terrifying breasts!
Tina, who was born in an imperial family and has seen a lot of the world, felt her eyes twitching. In front of that unparalleled size, all breasts were just paper breasts.
The golden woman's eyes revealed a wild aura, and she was playing with a little girl in her hand.
That little girl turned out to be a soul walker! She had a pair of wolf ears and a wolf tail, a cute princess dress, and a pink face. She was trying to grab the other hand of the golden woman, and a big tail kept flicking back and forth.
Moving.
Behind Wang Wei, a woman whose entire body was covered in red except for her face and hands stood quietly, her eyes slightly squinted, and a faint smile on her lips.
Tina was sweating.
It has long been said that this lord is a ruffian and a gangster. Although I have seen his ruffian side for a long time, when I saw him today, it turned out that it was not a legend to say that he was a gangster.
That's true.

"Our scheduled trip this time is to start on land, pass here, here and here, and finally reach the distant mountains. If we travel by sea, we need to pass through three different sea countries, and these countries include those with us.
After experiencing conflicts in the Sea Country, and during the Yuanshan Council, we are not sure whether the Sea Clan will abide by the peace agreement. After all, even if they do something, we have no way to pursue it. Our land navigation technology is still far behind the Sea Country.
The difference is a lot, so the land route should be safer."
In the lord's mansion, Princess Tina pointed at the map and told Wang Wei the entire plan. Tina's consistent style is to do everything herself. As long as she can do it, she will never trouble others. Since the king will do this
The heavy burden has been handed over to her, so this time the entire travel plan was completely made by Tina.
Different from outsiders' imagination, Tina is an absolutely knowledgeable female talent. Although her knowledge of astronomy and geography may be somewhat different, she has unique insights into the general trend of the country and some political issues.
"There is no problem in taking the land route, but I have always had some questions, and you are here to help me answer them."
Wang Wei said to the princess.
"What is our current relationship with the Sea Clan? What is the gap between our navigation technology and the Sea Clan's? What is the Sea Clan's intention towards us? Are all the Sea Clan closely united?"
Wang Wei raised three questions in succession, each of which Wang Wei was most concerned about.
"Actually, our current relationship with the Sea Tribe should be said to be in a lukewarm period, and the communication between the Sea Tribe and humans only happened in the past hundred years or so."
Princess Tina talks eloquently.
"More than a hundred years ago, the Sea Tribe, who had been dormant in the sea, suddenly sent negotiating envoys to the land, requesting trade with some coastal countries. Before that, the relationship between the Sea Tribe and humans was very unfriendly, and many Sea Tribes
Trying to rob human merchant ships or warships in order to obtain resources that cannot be produced in the sea. So that time the envoys of the Sea Clan suddenly appeared, which caused a headache for the human country. At that time, at the Yuanshan Council, the Sea Clan and
After nearly a year of negotiations, humans finally demarcated the territory of the Sea Tribe and agreed that human shipping should not cross the borders of the Sea Tribe. At the same time, sea trade was opened along the coast. Seven countries, including us, have direct trade relations with the Sea Tribe.
The sea tribe and humans have agreed that if there is any friction or dispute, it must be resolved through the distant mountain council."
"This agreement lasted for decades. The Hai Clan sold some deep-sea specialties to the mainland through these coastal countries, and the mainland sold some things that the Hai Clan could not produce to the Hai Clan. But the Hai Clan soon discovered that the Hai Clan
Once the products sold to coastal countries are resold by those countries, the profits generated are dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times the profits they can make! As far as the deep-sea pearls of the Hai Clan are concerned, the Hai Clan thinks those things are worthless.
, so the price sold to coastal countries is about fifty silver coins each, but after processing in human hands, this kind of deep-sea pearl may eventually be sold to buyers for hundreds of gold coins."
"Then the Sea Tribe thought this kind of transaction was very unfair and asked the land country to compensate for the price difference. However, all the prices of the transaction were negotiated with the Sea Tribe. Naturally, humans cannot change the interests in their hands at will, so it lasted for more than ten years.
The disputes of 2016 made the relationship between the sea tribe and humans tense for a time, but just like we have no way to deal with them in the deep sea, they also have no way to do anything to us on the land. Things exported by the sea tribe to the land
Most of them are luxuries, and most of the things imported by the Sea Tribe from the land are iron tools. The biggest feature of iron tools is that they will continue to corrode in sea water. They are accustomed to using land tools and are not willing to use them in the sea.
Reuse the original tools. Therefore, all negotiations were forced to be put on hold, and Land also appropriately increased some prices to a certain extent."
"The matter should have ended here, but we got some news from certain channels, that is, the Sea Tribe has been trying to win over amphibian races in remote areas, and the import of metals from land is also increasing.
, even some obviously unreasonable projects were not refuted at all, which made us realize that the Sea Clan seemed to be planning something in advance."
Tina recounted the history of contact between the sea tribe and humans in one breath. Illidan obediently handed Tina a cup of tea and asked her to moisten her throat.
"When it comes to the gap in navigation, I think we and the Sea Clan are not from the same era at all. The law of survival of the weak and the strong is particularly evident among the Sea Clan. Perhaps it is a matter of the living environment. The Sea Clan has always followed the principle of the strong.
Zun's barbaric lifestyle - of course, this is no different from humans, but humans at least have some cover-up or more responsible emotions inside, while the appearance of the Sea Tribe is more like a manifestation of the law of the jungle. Anyone
Most of them have outright hostile relationships. They face death threats almost from birth, and when they grow up, they will pose death threats to others."
"The Sea People can use all the resources in the sea to arm themselves. Although their resources are scarce, the diversity of marine life allows them to find another kind of force. Biological force. The most famous one is the giant whale warship in the Eastern Ocean.
Giant whales are huge creatures that live in the Eastern Ocean. Adults can exceed fifty meters in length, and some older ones even exceed eighty meters! As giant whales grow, they will produce a calcified carapace on their epidermis.
And with age, this kind of carapace can grow to more than three meters thick. The Sea Tribe people tame these creatures, put weapons on their carapace, and install horns bought from the mainland on their heads. There are almost nothing.
It can pose a threat to these creatures, and their only weakness is their soft abdomen, but even if you can avoid the soldiers escorting the battleship, the several-meter-thick fat layer of the giant whale cannot be cut casually."
"The rest, such as the Norwegian sea monster, the giant electric ray, and the legendary nebula jellyfish that can grow to a size of 500 meters and can monitor tens of kilometers of sea area, are beyond the imagination of us people on land.
"
"The Sea Clan is not united."
Tina thought about it carefully before saying this.
"This is true for any biological race. There are a few sea races who prefer the land side, but those are only a very small minority and have no say in anything."
Wang Wei listened carefully to Tina's explanation and kept all the details in mind, especially the part about the Hai Clan's force.
"How fast is that giant whale battleship?"
Wang Wei is only most interested in hard indicators such as force.
"The speed is very slow. It is worse than ordinary sail warships, and even worse than some small high-speed warships powered by magic crystals."
Tina said.
The so-called magic crystal-powered battleship is a power equipment that uses the elemental power of some large magic crystals to generate wind or water flow to propel the battleship. Due to its high cost, it requires a lot of effort from alchemists. It is generally used in very high-end special equipment.
On the battleship.
"So how big are the warships on land generally?"
Wang Wei asked.
"Few warships on land are that big. Due to material limitations, a warship is about thirty meters long. Only some very large warships or special merchant ships can reach fifty or seventy meters, and that kind of
Although super large battleships are powerful, they are not as flexible as small battleships and are expensive to build. They have always been used as a symbol of national power. Few people actually mass-produce such battleships. Even the old Tolkien Empire only has
There are five such super large battleships, and there should be no one bigger than this. And as far as we know, there are more than 20 whale battleships in the Eastern Ocean, not counting some of their small battleships. The most important thing is
, all the warships of the Sea Clan can submerge underwater!"
Tina said after thinking carefully.
"Oh, so that's it. In other words, does all the Hai Clan's self-confidence come from their battleships and underwater advantages?"
Wang Wei asked again.
"It can be simply said that their confidence comes from the superiority of force in the water."
Tina said.
"So what if they have no advantage in the water anymore?"
