Chapter 189 Hot Blooded Youth
At noon that day, in Yintao City, at the gate of the courtyard where Tang Zhao and others were stationed.

"I think I have the basic ability to take care of myself, and I don't need you to follow me."

[I also believe what you said, but I can't let you go, so someone must follow. I think I'm not bad. You can treat me as if I don't exist, or as a domestic pet. 】

Ning Fu's expression was a little helpless: "No one's pets seem to be covered in blood and come back with wounds. The Sea Clan will not keep such murderous pets."

【Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, all animals are the same everywhere. Fighting to survive is not too murderous. This is similar to describing a demon or a sahuagin. 】

"Alright then," Nymph shrugged indifferently, "where shall we go next?"

Tang Zhao lay on Ning Fu's left shoulder, curled up, and observed the surrounding environment with his head exposed.

【Do whatever you want, I always keep my word. You can go wherever you want. If it is not necessary, I will not take the initiative to talk to you. Of course, if you ask me a question, I will still reply normally. 】

Andrea brought a few reliable dwarf officers from Karak Solmar, so he doesn't have to worry about the daily affairs of the courtyard, and Andrea will help him handle various business in Yintao City, He doesn't need to be in charge now.

He has been drilling into the sewer for several days in a row, which made him a little physically and mentally exhausted, so he happened to go out with Ningfu to relax, and by the way, he was able to say something, so it was a vacation for him.

The robe Nymph is wearing is extraordinary, with a griffin embroidered with orange silk thread on it. This kind of robe is made by Oran's mage organization, and it represents an affirmation of the mage's own strength. The orange silk thread and the griffin's The pattern represents a third-tier mage. Wearing this kind of clothes to move around in Yintao City can save a lot of trouble.
-
In the next one or two hours, Ningfu was really exploring the city: eating, shopping, watching street performances, and sightseeing in the city, which were basically the things that normal female tourists would do. It could be seen that she was also very curious about Yintao City After all, I have never seen a large human city, small town fishing village and this kind of place are completely two worlds.

"At first, I thought that a young and beautiful woman like me would definitely cause some problems if I wandered alone in this kind of place. I didn't expect that the security of Yintao City was pretty good, and there were no troublesome things."

After regaining her freedom after a long absence, Ning Fu seemed to be in a good mood, and began to talk to Tang Zhao on her own initiative.

[On the one hand, I would like to thank the city magistrate and the large number of security teams trained by the Church of Heim, and on the other hand, I would also like to thank me. A spellcaster who can maintain a "familiar" for a long time is at least the top-notch ability of the third level, and even has a high probability Is a fourth-order spellcaster,]

"I will remember the great grace and virtue in my heart. By the way, can I ask another question? The kind that might make you unhappy."

[Whatever, I have a pretty good temper, so I won't get angry just because of a few words. 】

"You have many intelligent races under your command. Judging from the few words you have said, you are from near the Yongwang Mountains in the center of the mainland, and there is a large settlement there. Is this true?"

【That's right, it's all true.There are many intelligent races in my colony.Kobolds, lizardmen, dwarves, elves, goblins and the like, and occasionally humans visit.They get along pretty well, what's wrong? 】

Ning Fu's expression was a bit subtle, as if she couldn't believe it: "Then how did you let them coexist peacefully? Elves and goblins are fine, but dwarves and elves are blood feuds."

[There is huge external pressure, and the years of war with the hobgoblins have contributed to this, otherwise I would really have a headache, but after fighting the enemy on the same front, the relationship between the several races fighting side by side is much better. 】

Before the war against the hobgoblins really ended, Tang Zhao didn't have to worry about internal strife. Although there were risks afterwards, he also had an idea.

Ning Fu was silent for a few seconds, as if she was seriously thinking about his words.

If she hadn't seen the extremely complex troops with her own eyes, Ning Fu probably wouldn't have believed that such a thing as "peaceful coexistence" would really happen, but seeing is believing, so I had to believe it.

"Then you say, can humans and sea people do the same?"

[I can't guarantee that it will be possible in a few years and a few months, but centuries or even a few epochs are beyond my prediction range. I am not a prophet, and no gods will give me an oracle.You should observe and make your own decisions, but remind you that, unlike mermaids, human beings have very diverse emotions and short life spans, and each generation will have a lot of differences. 】

Tang Zhao has a certain degree of confidence in races like dwarves and elves, which do not have a strong desire to expand, or races like lizardmen and kobolds, who are easy to get rich when they are small, but it is really difficult to say this when facing humans.

He was a human being in his previous life, and he has not seen any difference between the human beings in the two worlds. The desire for human expansion can be better summed up in a sentence in his previous life.

"The genus Homo is a genus under the subfamily Homo, with a total of 17 species, of which 16 species have been extinct, and now there is only one species, namely Homo sapiens."

Generally speaking, human beings cannot tolerate other intelligent races, even their own races. Now Oran has no desire to expand at sea, but the future is uncertain. Tang Zhao will not cheat on this issue. people.

Ning Fu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded solemnly: "I will observe and consider carefully, thank you. I also want to ask another question, how do humans deal with families that have colluded with demons."

[Theoretically speaking, for a family that involves demons, the entire family will be censored, and the final result is usually to kill all those involved, and at the same time break up and reorganize the rest of the family.As for civilians and those without power, it is more common to slash them for public display. Considering the destructive power and threat of demons, I think this policy makes sense, especially when there are more than a dozen Berserkers lurking underground.

As for the Sterling family you care about, because their family is too powerful to be uprooted, they still lost most of their territory because of the last rebellion. If the Sterling family is involved, I am afraid that this family will really be wiped out. Even if Barnard's team does not participate in it, the result will be the same. Anyway, they will definitely not benefit. 】

There are internal conflicts in Oran. This is an objective fact that has been recognized. However, several forces have a zero-tolerance attitude towards demons. If they jump out to make trouble at this time, they will definitely be caught. Typical, all parties want to take this opportunity present yourself.

"I came out this trip, not just for fun. There don't seem to be many commodities in Yintao City. There are many empty shops and stalls, especially the part related to food. Even me, a newcomer from the Sea Race, It can be seen that the city is really short of food now, which means that the matter has reached a level that cannot be concealed."

[The observation skills are good, and some are unexpected. If you want to ask anything, just ask directly. 】

"If the problem can be solved at this level, will the Barnard family be liquidated?"

[I can't give you a guarantee, but the Casdeyi family is indeed facing pressure now. If the trick of cutting off food doesn't work for a long time, they can only choose to give up and find other ways to carry out the attack on Yintao City. Infiltration, this process can take months or decades. Now the situation in Oran is very tense, and I don't know how the situation will develop.

I can only assure you that the Hermes Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of the Casdey family, and will continue to provide food to Yintao City, and at the same time mediate from it. After all, this Yintao City is more beneficial to us now, and the feudal nobles will only use the commercial city It is not good for us businessmen to use it as a blood transfusion vessel. 】

He had no business relationship with the Castei family, and he was not afraid of these feudal nobles. Norton came to Lvford to take up the post, nominally to guard against hobgoblins, but actually to guard against Tang Zhao and others. The positions of the two sides were naturally at odds. Yes, I am not afraid of turning enemies because of this matter, but should prevent the power of the Castei family from increasing again.

Nymph bit her lip, and finally said: "Our mermaid's request is very simple. The lives of the Barnard family should be preserved. We swear in the name of our ancestors that they have absolutely no collusion with the devil, but now at the Earl of Stirling's mansion, Not only their family, but also demon believers lurking in the dark. We help you solve the problem of the demons and the sahuagin, so you should protect the safety of the Barnard family. How about this deal?"

[It’s okay if life is safe, but now that the Castei family is very powerful, and there are people in the capital to protect them, they may not be able to keep their position as earl. 】

It's easy to talk about saving people's lives, and they can be transported to Insula. If it doesn't work, you can ask the dwarves to coordinate and transport them to the west of the mainland, where the Oran people can't control them.

"It's not what they should have obtained. If they can't keep it, they won't be able to keep it. Safety is the only thing we want. In order for the transaction to go smoothly, it seems that I should first show a little sincerity."

After finishing speaking, Ning Fu fumbled around the cuffs for a while, and took out a few pearl-like things, each about the size of a quail egg, bright white and smooth, and looked very beautiful.

"Most things were found and destroyed by those sahuagins. This is the only thing left, and it is of some use to you. Infuse it with magic power. When the sahuagins are within 200 meters, this kind of The pearl will shine, seeing that the city’s coastal defenses are very weak, it should be able to improve the situation, and it’s not a bad idea to put it on the boat for early warning.”

[It is indeed useful. You mermaids live in sea water and have to deal with those guys all year round. Can you help us get more similar props?I think the mayor of Yintao City will spend a lot of money to buy it. 】

"First of all, as you said before, my home is too far away from Yintao City, and there are sahuagin intercepted along the way, and it is very dangerous to transport supplies now. Secondly, we also have some differences among mermaids. Although the Barnard family is very good, But not all mermaids support my coming to help the Barnard family, and there is a high probability that I won't get much support."

[Let's be honest, did you sneak out? 】

Ning Fu's expression was a little awkward: "You can say that, but it's not very pleasant to say. The purpose of my coming here is to save the lives of kind people."

[Okay, I understand. 】

Ning Fu was puzzled instead: "Aren't you surprised? You never asked us before."

[First of all, among you young mermaids, there is not a single qualified fighter at all, and you can tell that it is not a regular outing.Secondly, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing recently. I personally hope that there will be fewer such things. The world is already in chaos. 】

With the lessons learned from Julia and others, Tang Zhao is already resistant to this matter. Ningfu is even more reckless than them. The former is accompanied by dozens of elite horse vulture knights, and they are active in their own land , Ning Fu and others stepped into the dangerous waters regardless.

"It is precisely because everyone does not act that the world is in chaos!"

Tang Zhao said casually, unexpectedly Ning Fu was really a little excited.

[Relying on the efforts of the few of you, the situation has not changed much. It is a good thing to have blood and a sense of justice, but you can't just put your own life on it. Mermaids can live for three to five hundred years, so it is better to cherish it.If I hadn't insisted on moving forward and killed those sahuagin, you would have become the sacrifices of the devil now, dying on the nameless island for no reason. 】

Julia and Olivia can still be said to act boldly, but there are still considerations in doing things, and there will be results in the end. From Tang Zhao's point of view, these mermaids act entirely based on subjective thoughts, without any other considerations at all.

It's not that Tang Zhao despises such people. After all, their hearts are not bad, and they can even be said to be noble, but they can definitely play a greater role in the future, and it is really not worthwhile to die.

This time Ning Fu was speechless, she frowned and began to think—this made Tang Zhao think about it a little bit. The most common reaction of ordinary people in this situation is to become angry from embarrassment, but Ning Fu is really thinking about her behavior .

After thinking for a few minutes, she nodded slightly: "You are right, I should be more cautious in doing things in the future, otherwise I will really make a big mistake."

[If you can admit your mistakes and stick to your own ideas, you are already better than most people.By the way, would you like to go somewhere with me? 】

"where?"

[The headquarters of the Losander Church, those believers of the Sun God are here, and they are now preparing for battle. They have rich experience in fighting demons. We should try to reach a cooperation with them. It will not be harmful to you or me. 】

Nymph first began to worry: "The Church of Lathander already knows that there are demons. They will definitely search for the believers who summoned the demons. I am afraid that the Barnard family will also be implicated."

[I will negotiate, this matter cannot be avoided, try our best, if it still doesn’t work in the end, we should consider transporting Barnard’s family out of Yintao City in advance, and let the Castel family deal with this mess Bar. 】
