Chapter 105: Sea City Day One

  Maybe no time to upload tomorrow, so I'm releasing it today. Don't wait for tomorrow, everyone!

  "Is he ill? It's just a broken painting! Is it worth being so vicious?" Father said discontentedly.

  "That's Van Gogh's famous painting! At least it has a history of over 2000 years, and it has been passed down through several generations of their royal family! Now it's worth at least 5 million! How can he not be heartbroken?" The king laughed and said: "Serves him right, such a treasure is rare in the entire continent, and our Great Han Kingdom doesn't even have one. Who told him to always show off to me? Now it's gone! Serves him right! Haha, it's really satisfying!"

  "Hey! What's wrong with Piro? Why is he tearing up the painting?" Poor Dao asked in confusion.

  "Haha! Piro's last move was just right, it stuck a table leg into that painting, I saw it with my own eyes, so I had to hurry and leave!" The king laughed.

  "Whoa! In the end, he's really a jinx!" The poor guy then helplessly said: "Sigh... Who told him to put his desk in that place?"

  "Haha! Haha!" Everyone laughed and returned to their hotel for a rest.

  Of course, I also took away that half-dead Piero. This guy has a cockroach-like strong vitality, his bones were broken in dozens of places, and his internal organs were ruptured in many places, but he didn't die. Xianya used an 8th-level light spell 'Holy Healing' on him, and finally managed to snatch him back from the hands of the god of death! As long as he rests for a while, he'll be fine! I have to admit that at least in terms of treating external injuries, light spells have a huge advantage! Herbs can't compare!

  The next day, I took Xianya out for a stroll to experience the local customs. The capital of the Kingdom of Kart, Rouyi, is a port city located on the Mediterranean coast, so it has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery! As the capital, the city is also very clean, with no beggars or slaves allowed within its walls! Even the people coming and going are at least commoners.

  We naturally went to the magic item shop first, the goods here are relatively general, and many of them were transported from my territory, not even worth looking at! Fortunately, there are some local specialties that can attract me, namely the water system's magical beast core! The ones here are much better in quality than those produced on land, and some rare pearls with magical elements are also good, not only are they colorful, but they can also emit five-colored light and slightly improve the efficiency of a mage's meditation!

  What a great thing! The aquatic demon core bought the best ones, and there are only three colored pearls here. He also cursed and vowed that this is already the output of the Mediterranean for ten years. Damn it! This little thing actually cost me 1 million! It's so dark!

  After leaving the magic shop, we went to the harbor again. The official from Carte who was responsible for guiding us said that there were the best views and restaurants with the most delicious food!

  Under the leadership of the officials, we found a very luxurious restaurant! And casually packaged the entire top floor. Although some nobles had some reservations about the poor Tao's behavior, under the "persuasion" of dozens of crazy warriors, they all gave way very reasonably! Only their stubborn followers were lying on the ground!

  "Do you also eat out like this in your country?" The officer who led the way showed a little dissatisfaction.

  "Are you referring to the package floor or the invitation hall?" Poor Tao asked.

  "Got it!"

  "Ah! In my 'youth', I've been to the capital a few times, but after getting my own territory, I haven't gone again. It's been ages since I last went to an inn!" The old man said with a majestic tone.

  "You were quite spirited when you were 'young'! You dared to do this in the capital, didn't you cause a lot of trouble?"

  "It's okay! On average, we can have a good fight once a month! Otherwise, it would be too boring if nothing happens!" The poor Taoist spoke the truth.

  "Remember! I'll be back!" A young man who was persuaded to the door gritted his teeth and said, "I'll come back to entertain you!"

  "It's better not to! I hate being disturbed when I'm eating, it puts me in a bad mood. When I'm in a bad mood, someone will be unlucky! You'd better think carefully!"

  "Hmph! I'm the same as you! However, my mood has already turned bad, just wait for your misfortune, kid!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away, as if afraid I would chase after him.

  "Ah! Another poor unlucky kid!" The poor monk was too lazy to bother with him and directly took Xian Ya upstairs.

  "Ah! The scenery is really great!" After I came up, I found that there was a floor-to-ceiling window here, and the outside view was unobstructed. The sea breeze blew through the trees on the shore, seagulls skimmed across the water, ships sailed across the sea, and the waves hit the beach, what a charming harbor scene!

  "Yes! So beautiful!" Xianya, who had never seen the ocean before, was even more mesmerized.

  "Alright, let's sit down and eat while we watch!" The poor Taoist invited Xianya and the official to sit down, then said: "Serve the dishes!"

  I was eating seafood while chatting with them. My main goal was to observe the ships and harbor here. From my current observation, the largest ship here is over 100 meters long, with a deck height of over 10 meters, which can hold hundreds of people! There are more than a dozen such ships in the harbor! Other ships have at least several hundred too! It's indeed a great maritime trading nation!

  "Wow, your ships here are quite large, aren't they?" asked the poor Taoist, probing.

  "Indeed! Isn't it astonishing how much material is being transported at one time?" The official asked proudly.

  "I heard you also have a naval formation? Are there battles at sea too?"

  "Of course there are, on the sea there are not only ferocious demons but also pirates?"

  "How do you attack at sea? With bows and arrows or magic?" The poor Taoist asked curiously.

  "None of those, bows and arrows are fine against humans but have little killing power against magical beasts, and mages are too rare to hire! Our main forces are still the ballistae and catapults! After our improvements, they've become the mainstay of naval warfare!"

  After the official had two cups of wine, he opened up and told me many interesting things! Just as I was getting hooked on listening, a quarrelsome voice came from below! The wooden guard who followed me came up to me and said: "Someone is looking for trouble!"

  I've had enough! I'm so angry! "Go down and take a look, who's still alive!" I said as I walked down.

  The hall was in a state of chaos, with both sides having already clashed. However, the arrival of the leaders on both sides had temporarily calmed things down. I took a casual glance around and saw that it wasn't too bad - those lying on the ground weren't my people. This time, I had brought 50 fierce warriors and four house generals with me, and they only had some creases on their clothes!

  However, it's clear that we were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. There were only a few dozen people on our side, while the other side had over 200 people in the main hall alone, and countless more outside, with a sea of heads stretching as far as the eye could see.

  "What a grand display!" The poor Taoist said disdainfully to the leading nobles.

  "Are you scared now?" The guy I kicked out shouted: "Hurry up and beg for mercy while you still can!"

  "Idiot!" The poor Taoist cursed coldly.

  "You! How dare you be so arrogant! Get him for me!" He said in a flustered tone.

  "Wait!" The officer beside me hastily came out and said: "You can't move him!"

  "Is it you?" The guy recognized him and sneered, "How can we not move him? What a joke!"

  "Are there still people here who can't move?" another guy yelled out

  "We don't have time to bother with him, hurry up and get rid of them, the princesses will be here soon!"

  "Right! We still have to see the princess off!"

  A few guys shouted in unison.

  "What's going on?" a female voice came from outside.

  "I don't know, let's go take a look!" another one said.

  "Get out of our way!" the third girl said.

  The surrounding thugs quickly cleared a path, and three beauties walked in. They were none other than the so-called Violet Sisters: Emily, Charlotte, and Camille.

  "What are you doing here!" Emily pointed at me and asked: "What are you doing here?"

  "Ugh!" I'm quite annoyed, I just came out to eat and ended up running into an acquaintance, and now these beauties know how unreasonable I am, it's really frustrating! No choice but to say casually: "I have some... misunderstandings with these nobles. Oh, look, they brought a few thousand people to reason with me! Your country of Kart is indeed very hospitable!"

  "Get out!" Those nobles were furious when I said that, but they couldn't explain themselves. They couldn't say that they had been driven out of the restaurant by me in a very humiliating manner, could they?

  "Hold!" Charlotte cried. "This man is a member of the delegation sent by the Great Han Empire to present gifts to the Pope, you cannot harm him or my father the king will not be able to save you!"

  "Hey! You guys are lawless and reckless, how can you even bully a little kid?" Kamir rebuked: "His father is the Sword Saint, aren't you asking for death?"

  It seems these kids are not good things usually, this time's dumb loss is indeed a foregone conclusion!

  "But, Princess, this is him bullying us!" One of the guys couldn't help it and would rather lose face than let me be bullied!

  "Hah! What a joke! Look at you, bringing several thousand people to be bullied?!" Kamir said: "Don't say anything else, apologize to Lord Long immediately! Then, take your trashy subordinates and get out of here quickly!"

  "Ah! Never mind, it was just a misunderstanding. Now that we've cleared things up, let's just forget about it!" The poor Daoist said magnanimously.

  "Look at others, a child is so well-behaved. Look at you!" Kamir said: "All of you get down!"

  Those guys stared at me with a murderous gaze and took people away in a huff!

  "I'm so sorry! Am I disturbing you?" Charlotte said.

  "Ah! Nothing much. It's better to meet by chance than to make an appointment, since we've run into each other today, it's also a kind of fate, I wonder if the princesses would be willing to grant me the honor and have lunch with me?"

  "Really!" The princesses replied after discussing, "Then we'll disturb you!"
