Dina held onto the edge of the barrel with both hands, her fish tail splashing the water happily behind her.
"My grandmother told me that you humans fight naval battles on ships. What would that be like?"
"I've always been curious about your human society, but my grandmother and the others wouldn't let me out before."
Only after hearing Dina's machine-cannon-like words did Chris breathe a sigh of relief.
She thought that she had leaked the information and that their group had been exposed.
After calming down, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She hadn't thought of this in her confusion just now.
If she is really exposed, what is the point of killing this mermaid lady?
However, Chris immediately grasped the key point of what Dina had just said.
"You said you learned about the upcoming naval battle in the Shimmering Sea from those sea creatures?"
She took two steps forward with a somewhat excited look and walked in front of Dina.
"Yes."
Dina curled up the corners of her mouth and gave Chris a brilliant, wicked smile.
"Princess, do you want me to help you?"
"Yes!"
Chris will not refuse any power that can be used now.
"sure."
The mermaid didn't refuse, but just squinted her eyes and looked at Chris with a smile.
After taking a deep breath, Chris spoke seriously.
"Sir Dina, if you have any conditions for him, please state them."
"I want you to provide me with food and lodging before I leave on my own accord. And the food must be delicious!"
"it is good!"
Ok?
Chris blinked, looking a little surprised.
Chapter push: Help friends push "My Shipgirl Comes from the Future"
Why would the original ship girl point a knife at the commander?
The protagonist is the commander of ship B.
Chapter 178:60 I put a spy inside the enemy
This mermaid must have been pickled by her parents a long time ago and then thrown into the sea and caught by the players.
"What's that look in your face?"
Dina stared with wide eyes in dissatisfaction.
"I just didn't expect your request, Miss Dina, to be so simple."
Chris immediately put away all her inner thoughts, smiled warmly and softly, and expressed her sincere gratitude to Dina.
"As long as there's something delicious, everything is fine!"
Chris smiled slightly.
While entering the cabin and asking the chefs in the kitchen to prepare delicious food, I was also very excited and thrilled.
Although there was speculation yesterday that Dina, who could appear in front of humans so carefree, must have a high status in the mermaid tribe.
Because if it was just an ordinary mermaid, since the mermaids have not had contact with humans for many years, even if they sneaked out, they would be afraid of getting into trouble and be cautious when seeing humans.
But this Dinah was calm and prepared.
In other words, she came here to find humans.
But, Chris and the others happened to see them.
The information that Dina had revealed during the previous conversation confirmed this to Chris.
This is really an unexpected gain.
Chris walked into the captain's room. Brand, the fleet commander, got up early, just like the previous few days.
At this moment, he was lying on the table, holding a compass and a ruler, carefully comparing the nautical chart and deducing the range of the pirates' movements.
"Your Highness, you are here."
Hearing footsteps behind him, Brand turned around and saw Chris and immediately saluted.
"Brand, how long until we get there?"
"Tomorrow we will reach the Gomorro Islands. It's neither too far nor too close to Port Lit, but it's quite far from the main shipping route. It's a very good place."
Brand turned around and pointed to several islands on the nautical chart.
"And this archipelago has an owner. It's a tribe of undersea people who seem to have fled here because of a defeat in the war. Most of them are murlocs, but the one who leads them is the Naga."
"no problem?"
Chrissy asked cautiously.
"No problem. These Nagas and Murlocs won't choose to provoke us on land while having their own enemies in the ocean."
Brand smiled confidently and explained the basic situation of the Glittering Sea to Chris.
In addition to pirates, navies from various countries, and merchants.
Beneath the surface of the Shining Sea, there live many marine creatures, including sea dragons, sea whales, nagas, murlocs, etc.
These marine creatures are not united. The sea dragons are loners, and the sea whales are mainly raised by the latter two as war beasts.
The Nagas and merfolk are divided into dozens of tribes, large and small, and there is even an underwater kingdom.
They fought against each other, attacked humans on the sea, and even attacked villages and towns on the coast.
"But this tribe on the Gmorro Islands is different. They actively maintain order around the islands and do business with passing caravans. Of course, they also collect some protection fees."
Brand couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
"Many merchant ships have even gone to the Gomorro Islands to avoid pirates. At least once they're within the jurisdiction of this tribe, they only need to pay a relatively small protection fee to be guaranteed safety. The pirates won't dare to attack them."
"So, it should be very lively over there now, right?"
Chris thought for a moment and said that the battle between the Kingdom of Aler and the pirate coalition would inevitably cause chaos on the sea.
So there will definitely be a lot of merchant ships running here to escape the war, and of course there will definitely be a lot of people who want to wait and see here, waiting for the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"Right now, no one knows how many spies there are from different forces. It's precisely because of this chaos that our infiltration will go unnoticed."
Chris nodded. Brand's plan was indeed a good one.
Otherwise, Rodlan and Donald would not have passed it.
"By the way, Miss Dina will also provide us with assistance later."
"The mermaids... according to legend, they are the royal family of marine creatures. Even the powerful naga and sea dragons have to obey their orders."
"It's definitely not that exaggerated."
Chris smiled, the royal family of the Tanif Empire.
The Stuart family also claimed that they were the common masters of mankind and the rulers of the Hefno continent.
If it weren't for the power of the Tanif Empire, even the several principalities in the southwest of the Tanif Empire would probably not recognize this title.
Not to mention the rulers of several other relatively powerful countries such as the Kingdom of Aler and the Xiuzes Empire.
Just treat what the Stuart family said as bullshit.
Moreover, the Tanif Empire has not yet unified the continent, so it is not yet his turn to be the ruler of the continent.
At least the elves once established an elven empire and truly ruled the entire continent.
"I know this too."
Brand smiled. Of course, he wouldn't take the myths and legends completely seriously. "At least on the Shining Sea, those submarine kingdoms have been constantly fighting each other, and I've never seen the mermaids come to mediate."
"But Your Highness, as long as she can provide assistance, it is good news for us now."
"I know."
Chris nodded seriously.
Actually, how should I put it? When I knew that my younger brother Nolan was going to have a decisive battle with the pirate coalition.
She considered whether she should use some other methods.
For example, it is certainly not the case that all the pirates on the Shining Sea will join this coalition.
She can find the stronger ones among the neutral pirates, recruit them, and form the Seven Warlords of the Sea of the Aler Kingdom.
Of course Chris couldn't do that.
Because in Hefno a noble's reputation is very important.
If a princess of a kingdom acknowledged a pirate, she would lose her legitimacy.
Some things can only be done in secret and cannot be done openly.
However, Chris is not without other options.
That's taking advantage of the players.
As players' levels increase, they will complete quests, kill monsters and gain reputation in the region.
Now many players have become quite influential in the Hefno continent, just like in Turner City. There is even a player guild that has taken control of the governance of a village or town.
This is equivalent to a noble's fiefdom.
Of course, players’ participation is also indispensable in the pirate alliance.
After all, not every player likes to play games peacefully. Many players like to enjoy the thrill of looting, disrupting order, and doing things that they dare not do in reality.
So, when she was still preparing war supplies in Vide City, she used tasks to guide many players to the Port of Litt area and join those pirates.
Now, she has the help of the mermaid Dinah.
Chris is becoming more and more confident in saving her brother Nolan's fate.
Chapter 179:61 Entering Port Lit
The cool lights penetrated the thick fog and illuminated the port of Litwatersrand.
As the most prosperous port in the Kingdom of Aler.
Mornings here in Port Litwater always begin with the lights from the lampposts illuminating the streets.
Not until the bright moon rises over the sea does the port, which has been busy all day, enter the quiet of the night.
Countless port workers and businessmen from all over the mainland are creating countless wealth for this city.
Only in winter and in July and August when storms descend upon the Shining Sea, can this bustling city change out of its gorgeous but heavy dress and become a quiet lady.
However, that was in the past, not now.
Chris was walking along the harbor street of Port Lit and could see clearly all the way.
The shadow of war hanging over this port city caused a large number of businessmen to choose to wait and see, which naturally also dealt a blow to the business of Port Lit.
However, after Chris walked through a few streets and stood on a higher place, she looked at the port behind her.
You can still see countless sailboats of all sizes leaving white trails in the bay, entering and leaving the port to transport goods to or from Port Lithuania.
Pilots and port workers were looking for jobs there, and officials from the port's commerce department were busy recording the cargo unloading and loading of merchant ships.
"It seems that as long as there is enough profit, war cannot stop these people from making money."
Chris smiled and shook her head. Birds die for food and people die for money. In fact, there is a similar proverb in the continent of Hefno.
As long as they are intelligent creatures, there will inevitably be some people who disregard life and death for the sake of profit.
After shifting her gaze away from the port, Chris turned around and continued to observe the entire city.
Beside her, Dina, who had transformed her fish tail into human legs, was looking around like her.
