Start with Island Lord

It was a sunny day.

At the secret pier east of the White Sturgeon Island, there was a flat-bottomed clay electric boat that was more than 20 meters long and more than 10 meters wide, with 20 young men sitting on it.

Each young man was strong and handsome, wearing only a pair of leather shorts, revealing his muscular bronze upper body.

When the sun shone on them, the smooth bronze skin reflected a faint metallic feeling, making the already bulging muscles appear more explosive.

It felt like the boat was not a group of mortals, but 20 sun gods descending to the mortal world!

This group of young people were the core members of the Sun Warrior Project, and Rosen had spent a lot of money to cultivate them.

There were also ten fish-killer speedboats surrounding the flat-bottomed electric boat, and Rosen was sitting on one of the speedboats.

This time it was not a puppet, but a real body.

Because the puppet's maximum control distance was 40 kilometers, and this time he was about to be at least 100 kilometers away from the island, which was far beyond the control distance.

It was a bit risky, but not completely risky.

Not only did he bring guards, he also brought many powerful magic weapons, and he had mastered the six-ring "Flawless Steel Dragon Body" spell, which greatly improved his defense.

Seeing that everything was ready, he shouted: "Let's go, move forward at a medium speed."

"If you encounter fishmen blocking you along the way, just attack directly, don't hesitate."

It's true that fishmen are slaves of deep-sea banshees, but fishmen are different from fishmen.

The fishman society is somewhat similar to the ant colonies on Earth.

There is a fishman queen in a tribe.

The queen does two things, eating continuously and giving birth continuously.

After the eggs are hatched, they will be raised by fishman maids.

And according to their different qualifications, they are fed with different queen milk to grow into fishmen with different uses.

Among them, ordinary fishmen are the most, accounting for 90% of the fishman tribe. They are fed the least queen milk and grow the fastest. They are pure consumables.

Therefore, as long as there is no deliberate slaughter and no harm to the high-level fishmen, it will not be regarded as an unforgivable serious provocation by the deep-sea banshee.

‘Woo~~~~~’

The speedboat and flat-bottomed boat slowly started and sailed to the depths of the fishman sea at a moderate speed.

Harry, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, was also on the speedboat where Rosen was, and he felt very guilty.

“Lord, is this reliable?”

He had never seen anyone use seduction to expand territory. If Rosen had not quoted classics, he would never agree to such a ridiculous plan.

Rosen was also a little bit unconfident, after all, all the information came from ancient books.

Although there is evidence from many parties, the times have changed. Who knows what the deep-sea banshee looks like now?

But as a lord, he must never show his cowardice. Even if he is slapped in the face by the facts, he must ignore the facts and fight back.

What’s more, in this situation where no one can figure it out.

His face showed the same calm expression as usual, and he looked calm and unhurried.

"Harry, you must remember that only stories and novels need to be reasonable. The real world does not need any logic. As long as it exists, it is reasonable."

Harry was really frightened: "Well, the lord is right."

He has been a warrior for so many years, and he has indeed encountered many strange things that are enough to shatter his worldview. He knows that this world is indeed outrageous.

The speed of the speedboat is not slow. Even if it is only medium speed, the speed is 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. It soon drove more than 100 kilometers and came to the central area of ​​the triangular sea area.

This is the place with the highest frequency of encounters with deep-sea banshees in the logbook.

For more than 300 years, a total of about 24 encounters have been recorded, and the most recent one is about 20 years ago.

"Slow down!"

After the fleet slowed down, Rosen took out a special lightning loudspeaker, powered it on, adjusted the power to the maximum, and began to shout on the sea.

"Laltris~~~~Laltris~~~~~"

The power of this loudspeaker is really great, and the sea is really empty. When Rosen shouted, the sound spread far away on the sea.

The soldiers who were 50 or 60 meters away even felt that it was very deafening, and many people couldn't help but cover their ears tightly.

On the way, Rosen kept shouting, not only shouting the name, but also some words to show the sincerity of communication.

"We are neighbors of the nearby Sturgeon Island, we come with goodwill~~~"

"Beautiful girls, we hope to have a good talk with you and do some maritime trade that is beneficial to both sides~~"

Just shouting like this, about half an hour later, Rosen suddenly felt a group of looming mana fluctuations on the sea in front of him.

The distance is about more than a thousand meters. If there are rocks blocking it, Rosen can't feel it, but the sea is empty, so he feels it clearly.

He felt a group of mana wave sources entering the sea, moving at a high speed in the shallow sea water, and constantly approaching the fleet.

Rosen estimated that it was the deep-sea banshee coming, and immediately raised his hand to issue an order: "Stop moving forward, but maintain power supply, and maintain the highest alert!"

The fleet stopped and drifted slowly on the sea, leaving only the "buzzing" sound of the motor at low speed.

After a while, Rosen saw fifteen or sixteen black shadows rushing out of the sea in the distance.

After reaching the sky, the wings quickly spread, and then flapped violently, rushing towards him.

The entire transformation process was smooth and silky, and the fluctuations of mana were harmonious and beautiful, showing a natural beauty.

Rosen secretly sighed in his heart: "This should be a natural talent for transformation."

It was very strong, but it could be felt that this talent for transformation was still just a simple transformation of muscles and bones, and did not involve important organs of the whole body.

The crew members were shocked when they saw the woman rushing out of the sea, and they subconsciously exclaimed in horror.

Even the senior wizard Harry could not avoid it.

"Quiet!"

Rosen shouted: "It's not a monster coming, but a group of sea dwellers who are good at transformation!"

The lord was so calm that the warriors found their backbone and their minds were much calmer.

Soon, the black shadow flew close to the front. Its shape was just as described in the logbook. It had no clothes on its body, and its body was stretched straight in the sky. The outer thighs, outer arms, head, and stomach were covered with feathers.

Most banshees have dark blue feathers, but there is also a special case.

Among them, there was a banshee, whose mana fluctuations were obviously stronger. Although the base color of her feathers was also blue, under the sunlight, many pearl-like colorful lusters could be seen.

The banshees hovered over the fleet for a while.

The banshee with pearl blue feathers shouted to the fleet: "Disrespectful intruders, you shouted our queen's name without permission, apologize to us immediately!"

She used the common language of the Natural Alliance, or more accurately, the ancient common language.

Rosen apologized without hesitation: "I apologize to you. I offended the queen's majesty because I didn't understand the rules of the deep sea. I was wrong."

The banshees looked much more relaxed, and the previous banshee continued to shout: "Follow us forward, there is a reef exposed above the sea in front, we will talk there."

Rosen raised his hand: "Go forward, keep a low speed, be careful of the reefs in the sea!"

The fleet started again and followed the flying banshee slowly.

Harry whispered, "Lord, will these banshees harm us?"

Rosen shook his head, "Don't worry, they have no reason to harm us."

With the sensitivity of a ten-ring wizard and Lai Fu's fine observation of expressions,

he did not detect any malicious intent.

Following all the way, for about ten minutes, he saw a reef of considerable size.

The area of ​​the reef exposed above the sea is about one hundred square meters, and the surface is very uneven, like the smallest island mountain.

The banshees flapped their wings and landed on the reef one after another, and as they fell, all the feathers on their bodies turned into thick long hair at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dark blue long hair covered the snow-white skin, like a combination of blue waves and white waves, beautiful and immediately attracted the attention of the warriors.

The banshee leader shouted to the fleet from a high position: "Okay, you stop thirty meters away and don't get closer!"

Rosen immediately ordered the fleet to do so.

At the same time, he carefully observed the banshees and found that according to the aesthetic standards of the human race, most of the banshees were only of average appearance.

But perhaps because of the long-term high-intensity activities in the sea, the banshees have very graceful figures and their skin is indeed very moist, as smooth and white as if it was smeared with oil.

Because they had no clothes on, a group of crew members could not control themselves, and pairs of eyes were focused on the banshees like spotlights.

The banshee leader did not care about the eyes of the crowd.

She stood on the reef slope with her arms around her chest and her legs high and low, looking down at Rosen: "You are the leader, right?"

"Yes, I am."

"Let me ask you, what kind of ship is this?"

"Rune Lightning Ship, a magic weapon."

"Oh~~ It runs quite fast."

The banshee leader turned his head and looked at the twenty sun warriors sitting on the flat-bottomed boat, staring at them for a long time before slowly moving away.

"You just said that you want to trade with us?"

"Yes, trade, and the larger the scale, the better. If you can't make the decision, I hope to meet with your queen."

"Our queen is not available at the moment, you might as well talk about the content of the trade first."

Rosen took out the prepared trade items: "We need fish, seaweed, pearls, corals, and various seabed minerals in the sea."

"And we can at least provide you with sharp, rust-proof knives. This is a very handy tool, especially useful for cutting fish."

"Look, this is it."

While speaking, Rosen gently threw the tempered clay dagger as a sample.

The clay used in this thing is a relatively rare gray-white clay. After tempering, the material is very similar to the ceramic knife in the previous life, very, very sharp.

The banshee leader took the dagger, pulled the weapon out of the scabbard and carefully examined it, with a satisfied look on her face: "It is indeed a very good weapon. How much do you plan to exchange?"

This question is difficult for Rosen. It is not good to report too high or too low.

So, he said: "We spent a lot of money to make these weapons. They are precious to us, but only to us."

"After all, this is a transaction between two parties, so it must be based on how much you think it is worth."

The banshee played with the dagger and said: "We don't trade with foreigners easily unless they can prove their sincerity."

Rosen asked knowingly: "How to show sincerity?"

The banshee leader pointed to the Sun Warrior on the flat boat.

"We are interested in them and want to play with them. If they can satisfy us, we will trade, otherwise you can go back."

Rosen immediately looked at the sun warriors in the punt and named sixteen based on the number of banshees.

"No, we want them all, and I want the one. Yes, the tallest, strongest one, with blue eyes and blond hair."

"We'll just play on this rock. The rest of you stay back and wait."

In this case, Rosen ordered the boys.

"Go, warriors of Paddlefish Island, show them your utmost sincerity!"

These young men have very good foundations and are the best real men out of a thousand.

Rosen collaborated with his mentor Anna to give them all the master version of the "Magic Spear" technique, which directly improved their strength by several levels.

At this moment, each of them was as excited as hungry wolves.

Upon hearing Rosen's order, he jumped out of the punt and swam quickly to the reef.

Rosen waved his hand: "Retreat 100 meters!"

The fleet fell back and waited patiently.

Time passed minute by minute, but the battle on the reef was still full of fire and kept going.

Harry looked excited at first, even full of envy, but as he watched, he trembled all over, and then his face became more and more solemn.

"Lord, these deep sea banshees are really powerful!"

The fight had lasted for half an hour, and some banshees were even fighting one against two and still managed to survive.

If he were to replace him, he would probably be defeated within a few minutes.

However, the Sun Warriors are not completely at a disadvantage. There are also top players among them.

The tall and strong warrior chosen by the leader of the banshee is particularly powerful.

He actually beat the leader of the banshee, who was supposed to be the strongest, to the point where he was almost knocked unconscious.

Rosen secretly admired: "What's that young man's name?"

"Frodo, he was originally a high-ranking knight."

"No wonder he is so brave. When he returns this time, he will be promoted to a higher rank and his salary will also be improved."

"Yes, Lord."

Harry also felt that Frodo was really powerful. Two people were worth one. After he defeated the Banshee Lord, he actually faced off against the second one.

He suspected that this guy could even poke holes in the rocks below.

After a two-hour fierce battle, the Sun Warriors completely defeated their opponents and won the final victory.

Rosen waved his hand.

"That's almost it. Come closer."

As soon as the fleet approached, the Sun Warriors immediately returned to the flat-bottomed boat, with smiles on their faces that were both satisfied and tired.

Look at the reef again.

Since the banshees had been defeated, their condition was naturally worse than that of the Sun God warriors. They fell motionless on the rocks one by one.

After a while, the banshee leader first regained some strength.

She said weakly: "Lord, you have proved your sincerity very well."

"For this dagger, we will give you ten pearls as big as your thumb, or a fresh fish as heavy as an ordinary fishman, or three times the weight of seaweed."

Rosen's heart brightened when he heard this: 'This is a huge profit. ’

Then, the Banshee leader pointed at the Sun Warriors.

"But you must bring strong young men like this with you in every transaction. The more the better. Because other sisters also need to feel your sincerity."

Rosen immediately looked embarrassed: "Madam, can I make three conditions?"

"You say, but I hope you won't be too greedy."

"First, we hope to change the trading location to a reef near the island, or simply on the edge of the island. Because the reef is too hard, you see, our young man's skin is worn out."

The leader of the banshee nodded: "That's right, then you can decide a position."

Rosen continued with the second article: "Look at us strong young men, we have put in a lot of physical strength and energy in order to show sincerity. In our human race, this requires an extra price."

The leader of the banshee was startled for a moment, looked down at the Sun Warriors on the flat-bottomed boat, then turned back to discuss with the sisters in a low voice, and then nodded.

"I agree with that. After all, it's not common to see such a strong and masculine young man."

After thinking about it, she was about to quote the price: "That's it."

Rosen immediately said: "Madam, let the boys and your sisters negotiate the price themselves? After all, they are the ones who pay and enjoy."

"A very reasonable statement, well, let them talk about it themselves."

Rosen added one last condition: "Chief, our ship wants to use the deep sea to go to the East Golden Cape in the south."

After saying that, he immediately added: "We know the rules and will include sufficient tolls. But how much is the specific amount? I hope to find a formal occasion and formal time to discuss it in detail?"

The leader of the banshee was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Don't rush this matter now, after all, we are not familiar with you yet."

"Let's trade for a period of time first. If we think you are trustworthy, then we will move on to the next step."

When they first came into contact, Rosen didn’t expect to settle everything at once.

And his ultimate goal is not to do business with the banshee, but to take charge of this sea area.

Just as the banshees need to understand them, he also needs to understand the banshees well and deeply through trade.

Whether it is war or peace, intelligence comes first.

"Madam, you are right, let's trade first."
