After making an agreement with various chambers of commerce in the Blue-coat Province, Loland Hill continued south, heading to the tidewater port in the Red Reef Province.
White-winged seagulls accompanied the sound of the tide, and the moist sea breeze carried a slight fishy smell. When Lorraine Hill stepped off the side of the airship, a lively seaside city appeared in front of her.
The fishery here is very developed, and even in inland provinces you can often eat salted fish produced in Linchao Port.
Fish can often be preserved for a long time after being marinated in sea salt and air-dried. In certain impoverished areas, this is often the cheapest source of meat.
After passing through the lively and bustling streets, Lorraine Hill slightly blocked the midday sun with his hands and came to the edge of the pier.
There are about a dozen sailing ships parked in the harbor, some of which are still loading and unloading cargo. An ironclad ship slowly sails into the harbor with the roar of its engines. On the rocks not far from the harbor, the girl can still see 2
-3 basking sea dragons.
These sea dragons with four fins have blue scales on their bodies and a white belly. They do not look ferocious, but rather docile... Two of them are Sequence 6 and one is Sequence 5, both of which are marine sequence monsters.
I heard from the locals that these sea dragons are old residents of Linchao Port. They often go to the sea to fish, and occasionally catch some low-level magical beasts to trade with humans.
As beings of the ocean sequence, they are naturally good at controlling water waves and tides, and can also escort and guide fleets in storms. They are the guardian beasts of this sea area, so the locals also protect them more, and the two parties have always gotten along well.
.
"Is this lady going to sea? I see you have been standing here for a long time."
Just as Lorraine Hill was looking at the lazy sea dragons curiously, a young man wearing simple clothes walked over. Judging from his appearance, he should be a helper on the dock.
"No, I just got here and am a little curious about those big guys." As she said that, the girl pointed to the sea dragons basking in the sun.
"Haha, it's true. Many first-time guests are very interested in these sea dragons."
"Do you need me to introduce it to you? It actually doesn't take much time."
Seeing Lorraine Hill nodding, the young man cleared his throat and then talked about the origins of these sea dragons.
"Actually, it's not a particularly bizarre story. Hundreds of years ago, the Paskar family conquered the Southern Territory and used family heirlooms to gather the dragons from the Southern Territory, including the fathers of these sea dragons."
"Because there are few sea dragons, not enough to form an army, and it is difficult to go ashore, the Baskar family did not incorporate them into combat forces. Instead, they placed them in coastal cities to help with the construction and development of the cities.
.”
"In the early years, the shipbuilding technology was crude, and there was less sea wind here, so the ships sailed slowly. They often needed the help of these sea dragons to complete long-distance voyages."
"Slowly, these sea dragons became familiar with the local residents and established a mutually beneficial relationship."
"People help these sea dragons find rare fruits on land to help them grow and advance, while they help local people fish and escort in the sea. Occasionally, local priests are needed to treat their injuries."
"Then can they understand human speech?" Lorraine Hill asked sideways.
"You can understand some simple words, but for more complicated things, you need the local dragon witch."
"Dragon Witch?" The girl was slightly surprised when she heard this slightly oriental term.
"Yes, it was difficult for people to communicate with Hai Long at first, which led to many unnecessary conflicts. Later, a witch from the East came to help and acted as a middleman to communicate and mediate, and then things gradually stabilized."
"The Dragon Witch is no longer around now, but her apprentice, or student, inherited this position, and it has been passed down ever since."
"Look, that's the Dragon Witch from Linchao Port." As he spoke, the young man pointed to the shore in the distance.
A girl wearing a light blue and white gauze skirt stood on the beach. She first closed her eyes and prayed for a short time, then a strange wave passed through her body, and then she walked forward, her feet firmly on the water, and
Did not fall into the water.
With a small splash of water splashing on her calves, the dragon witch walked towards the sea dragons taking a nap on the reef.
As they approached, some new travelers realized how huge the sea dragon was. The young dragon witch standing in front of the sea dragon was no bigger than one of its fins.
I saw the dragon witch lightly jumping onto the rocks, walking step by step to Hai Long's side, her smooth feet stepping on the scales on the fins, and getting close to Hai Long's slender neck.
She stopped at the ear of a sea dragon and began to sing a soothing song. At this time, the sea dragon opened its eyes slightly, groaned, and then gently rubbed its head against the palm of the dragon witch.
Accompanying the magical song, the white light brushed through the sea dragon's scales like ripples, helping it examine its body and treat minor wounds.
Soon after, the sea dragon roared again, then put its head around its side and lay down quietly.
After appeasing the sea dragon, the dragon witch went to the next sea dragon again and repeated this process.
On the pier, many tourists from other places looked at this scene curiously. If there were not cameras or mobile phones in this era, many people might have rushed to take pictures.
Observing this harmonious and peaceful scene, Lorraine Hill seemed to have some realization.
This should be the ability of the Eastern Dragon Breeding Lineage, just like the Dragon Sacrifice Lineage that the girl saw before in Yanli Island. Dragon Breeding is also one of the five major factions of the Eastern Dynasty. The other three major factions are Dragon Transformation and Dragon Rider.
, and Summon the Dragon.
Among them, the dragon-sacrifice line pays attention to using the secret technique of dragon veins to adjust Feng Shui, the vitality of heaven and earth, and change the environment, while the dragon-nurturing line pays attention to cultivating extraordinary creatures to make them function. For example, Mo Shangzhou specializes in cultivating green silkworms to
Used for spinning.
Similar to the dragon-nurturing lineage is the dragon-summoning lineage. This lineage focuses on driving monsters or dragons. Some of the secret techniques of the Red Immortal Sect are derived from this. The blood sacrifice technique used by Granny Gro is also similar to the summoning dragon lineage.
The dragon lineage has many connections.
As for the Dragon Riders lineage, they specialize in killing. They focus on the cooperation of humans and dragons to achieve the effect of 1+1>3. The Blood Winged Red Dragon Knights of the Paskar Family and the Red Bird Dragon Riders of the Plantagenet Dynasty are just that.
The leader of this line.
Although the Five Meridians Dharma developed independently in ancient times, it has long been integrated with each other and is no longer so obvious. Therefore, this division method was gradually cancelled. Later, when the Plantagenet Dynasty was established, it was even based on the avenues it cultivated.
To distinguish between the major factions, this classification method is no longer used.
Unexpectedly, on the Western Continent, I would see such a familiar method, which also made Loland Hill miss his days in the East a little.
Compared to the fighting and killing in the Western Continent, she had a quite relaxed life there.
Come forward and say hello. Seeing the dragon witch returning briskly on the waves, the girl turned away from such thoughts and immediately stepped forward.
