Chapter 99 The Last Sea Fortress Lord
Roman watched Nellie for a long time.
He didn't see anything special.
But the magical talent of breathing underwater and being as comfortable as a fish in water should not be fake.
He felt that Nellie was related to a witch and had awakened certain innate spells, but he didn't think it was the case because Nellie's five-dimensional attributes were average and she didn't look like a spell caster.
Roman didn't notice anything special about Nellie.
He broke the silence and asked directly: "Are you from Sea Castle?"
Neli'er is not tall, but her body is very well-proportioned, with long legs and a thin waist. She has the potential of a model, and her skin is extremely fair and delicate, she replied. "Yes, my lord."
"I thought the residents of Sea Castle were a little dark." Roman added. Most of the slaves brought over by Morey have been blown by the sea breeze all year round. They have rough features and darker skin colors. The same is true for Kaa and Sanna, whose skin is a healthy wheat color.
Neli'er said: "The skin of some Sea Castle people can withstand the tempering of the sea breeze."
Sea Castle belongs to the Black Iron Kingdom and the Kingdom of Iceland.
And who it belongs to depends on the choice of the Lord of the Sea Castle.
Although Roman believed that there were seven kingdoms on this land.
But this concept has always been vague.
If anyone thinks that the Seven Kingdoms divide the entire land carefully and draw clear-cut national boundaries like dividing a cake, they are completely wrong.
It would be great if the seven royal families' direct jurisdictions combined could occupy 10% of the entire land.
In fact, it should be less than 5%, not counting the islands.
The rest of the land belongs to the princes.
The king has a very high status, but has very little control over the entire kingdom.
If the border nobles don't hate you, then the king has nothing to do.
They just don't listen to you, but they are not rebelling.
Unless the king has a strong character or is driven by political interests, there is no need to deploy troops and generals to show the king's power.
Morey stayed in Sig Town for many days and told Roman about the specific situation of Sea Castle.
That narrow stretch of coast is called the Dust Boa Coast.
Winding and rolling, thousands of miles long.
Like a giant python lying on its body and sleeping soundly, its body separates the land and the sea.
Sea Castle is located at the end of the Dust Python Coast - the tip of the Dust Python's tail smashed into the sea, and a steep mountain range rose up from the deep sea.
Its ends are raised high, so the terrain becomes higher and the road becomes narrower as you advance.
At the end, the cliff is a hundred meters above the sea.
The cliff is as sharp as a chip, and the rough white waves below are beating hard against the hard rock wall day and night, eroding the mountain.
The unknown ancestors of the sea castle came to the end of the Dust Serpent Coast and built the tall sea castle that gave them their name.
The dust python's tail is raised high, and large beaches emerge on both sides of the land. It faces the sea on three sides and is connected to the town on the south side. It has access to abundant marine resources and convenient transportation. It can advance and attack and retreat and defend, making it easy to rule.
For more than a hundred years, the conquerors swept across the entire land with their swords. The Lord of the Sea Castle voluntarily surrendered, otherwise the conqueror's army would probably be defeated in the Sea Castle.
The owners of sea castles throughout the ages believed that they had the blood of the gods flowing in their bodies and could hear the call from the depths of the ocean in their sleep.
Usually after they abdicated in old age, they would cross the sea in a canoe, and the tide would lead them to where they should go.
Roman asked Neliel: "I heard that the Lord of Sea Castle is the descendant of the ocean?"
Nellie blinked. "I can't answer your question. Only the Lord of Sea Castle is qualified."
She was born in such an environment and was accustomed to those distant legends.
But I'm afraid the people on land don't think so, especially the nobles on land - the fighting knights know nothing about the vast ocean.
Nellie didn't want to offend her current master, so she had to avoid talking about it.
"Do you also have the blood of the Lord of Sea Castle in your body?"
Neli'er pursed her lips. Her nose bridge was straight, her blue eyes were as deep as the ocean, and her facial features were unusually three-dimensional. This appearance was unique to ordinary people.
"Perhaps, sir, this is not something that a servant like me should know. As you know, there is only one Lord of the Sea Castle."
Roman felt that although the Lord of the Sea Castle had lost his heirs, his bloodline had not been cut off. That land had prospered after all, and each generation of Lords of the Sea Castle must have produced more than one heir. However, there was only one Lord of the Sea Castle, and he did not follow the rules. Primogeniture.
The remaining heirs either married other nobles or became commoners, with mixed bloodlines.
Therefore, some residents of sea forts are rather strange. Their skin is like fish scales, which can resist the abrasion of sea wind and the erosion of salt and alkali. They are natural darlings of the ocean.
He looked at Nellie and said, "Are there many Seafort people like you who come to Sig Town?"
Upon hearing this, Neli'er immediately straightened her tall breasts, exuding the charm of a beautiful woman.
She said to Roman confidently. "My lord, I swear you couldn't have chosen a more beautiful slave than me."
Roman naturally believed this. If there was one more beautiful slave like Nellie, Sige Town would spend at least a dozen more gold coins.
If the whole ship was full of slaves like this, he would have to smash Morey's head in with the ledger.
I am a slave to work! Not a slave to be fucked!
Roman's attitude toward Neliel was very good, as if he was chatting about something ordinary, "What did you do in Sea Castle before? Where is your family?"
"My father is a shipwright, my mother can sew fishing nets and do some work, and I have two younger brothers and a younger sister..." Nellie's face was a little sad. Although it was mediocre, it was beautiful. Until the Lord of the Sea Castle died of illness, they lost their lord and could not choose a qualified successor.
In modern times, the Lord of the Sea Castle has few descendants, and now it is even extinct. The Sea Castle's chief steward and the guards have been arguing about this.
They had to find a master from the bloodline of the nobles who intermarried with the Sea Castle.
But this decision also brought a devastating disaster to the Sea Castle.
The gates of the Sea Castle were wide open, and Earl Bailey and Lord Poplar plundered everything that could be called wealth in the Sea Castle, including her.
"What about you?"
Nellie bit her lip. "I am the maid of the Lord of the Sea Castle..."
Roman was not surprised by this answer. Nellie obviously often dealt with nobles, so she responded appropriately, with a confident expression, and knew how to get his favor.
Roman put his elbow on the armrest, "Tell me in detail."
Nellie didn't know where to start, so she had to tell everything. That experience could not be concealed.
God knows how much information the slave trader named Morey told Roman.
"I became the maid of the Lord of the Sea Castle when I was twelve years old, and served Lord Dill with other girls. Lord Dill was not in good health, so he chose us to be his maids for the succession issue.
"He promised that when he recovered, he would let us bear the next Lord of the Sea Castle for him. But he failed to recover. Sometimes he couldn't even stand up, so he could only lie in bed, and slept most of the time.
"His body was dragged down by the disease, and his personality became more and more weird. Sometimes he would fall into hysterical rage while sleeping, as if he had a nightmare..."
Nellie recalled the gloomy experience that seemed to secrete some kind of sticky tide from her mind.
At that time, she and other maids took care of the weak Lord of the Sea Castle on the sickbed day and night.
If it were in the past, Dill would definitely not be qualified to be the Lord of the Sea Castle.
But Dill's father's father only gave birth to Dill's father, and Dill's father only gave birth to Dill.
In the past few decades, the Lord of the Sea Castle has been passed down for three generations, and the inheritance has become increasingly fragile.
It was like a seed of some disease, and the seedlings it nurtured were slender and weak.
She still remembered Dill's pale and thin face. He couldn't eat anything. The blood coral was completely useless to him. He could only rely on the warm and cool energy contained in the pearl powder to maintain his life. For this, he consumed a high-quality pearl every day.
But the sieve could not hold water.
His body became weaker and weaker in the dry air, and sometimes he couldn't even breathe, like a severe asthma patient or a fish living on land.
They called the disease the black plague, a terrible disease from the depths of the ocean. It was rumored that the conqueror was also infected with the black plague.
Dill asked the sea fort steward more than once to put him into the sea and let the ocean current take him away.
But this unreasonable request was rejected by the sea fort steward. Humans would only drown in the sea, and the ocean current would only take away a corpse.
Dill became furious and erratic. He would have nightmares when he was sleeping and make some shrill and sharp inhuman roars. When he was awake, he was like a mad dog, smashing everything he could catch, using crazy actions to vent his repressed and depressed emotions, and also consuming his already limited vitality.
They were Dill's maids, and were implicated because of this. They needed to clean up the mess all the time. They were extremely scared and prayed to the ocean gods to restore the health of the master of the sea fort.
He waved his arms with the strength of a three or four-year-old child, and could not hurt them.
But he was still the master of the sea fort, and he had many ways to torture others to death.
But Dill never hurt them.
He was not tyrannical, especially his attitude towards the maids was extremely kind, and he often called them "dear sisters" and "my blood relatives" in a soft voice.
He said that the people of the sea fort had the same blood flowing in their bodies, which was the secret power from the deep sea, and that power prompted them to dream of the same scenery.
But none of the descendants of the sea fort can do it now.
They have the same ancestors, but this blood has been constantly diluted since they came to land.
If you want to maintain pure blood, you must combine with those who are connected by blood, and perhaps you can breed a blood of atavism.
He said that his bloodline is not pure, and he is also a mixed people. Their status should be the same. If he can become the master of the sea fort, then any maid here is also qualified.
But who made his father have only him as his heir? Perhaps the inheritance will end with his generation, and the sea fort will lose the favor of the ocean from then on.
This is fate.
The life of the dust python has come to an end, and the sea fort located at the tip of the dust python's tail has also come to an end. The ocean has lost a blocker, and the future will become more turbulent and unstoppable. At that time, even the demons will have to avoid its edge.
But she and the maid felt that Lord Dill had not woken up from the nightmare, and the master of the sea fort was talking in his sleep-her father and mother were both fair-skinned people of the sea fort, and she was just a person of the sea fort, and she could not become the master of the sea fort.
Dill took her hand and made her sit on the bed that smelled of illness. He sent her parents to prove what she saw. He traced her bloodline, looked through various materials, and even found many old men in the sea fort who had lived for a hundred years.
Finally, he came to the conclusion:
She was a descendant of the Lord of the Sea Fort who followed the conqueror on an expedition a hundred years ago. Her father five generations ago and Lord Dill's father six generations ago were the same person. They were real blood relatives - she should be the aunt or aunt of the current Lord of the Sea Fort.
Later, Dick died in pain.
He died very hastily, like a person who drowned on land.
When he crossed the sea alone with the wooden boat, the sky was overcast, and the coast rolled up with unprecedented surging waves, rumbling against the mountain.
The indestructible cliff collapsed, and a hollow appeared under the cliff. Rolling rocks fell into the sea, and the tip of the dust python's tail became more and more raised.
The sea swallowed the remains of the last master of the sea fortress with a cry.
