Chapter 237 Merchant Ship
She frowned and asked, "Have I seen you before?"

It is certain that it is not a bad saying to strike up a conversation. This silver dragon is really thinking about this matter, and Tang Zhao has indeed met the other party, but the gap between him at that time and now is somewhat big.

[I have no memory of seeing you at all, it may just be some kind of illusion. 】

Tang Zhao didn't intend to reveal his identity at all, because from various aspects, the extent of his changes was a bit too appalling. It took a few years to walk for hundreds of years, and he was afraid of being dragged into slices for various experiments. Did the other party see it? It's better to play dumb.

Even though she said so, Tina didn't buy it: "I don't think it's possible. Every creature has its own breath. If you have the impression, you must have smelled it. I have an impression of your smell."

[Then maybe we met in Queen Julia's territory. Besides, I often have activities with Luford in the capital, so maybe we met indirectly at that time. 】

Tang Zhao lied in a serious manner, and Tina smiled noncommittally, and didn't go into it further: "That's probably how it is. How much did Julia tell you?"

【Which aspect? 】

"You seem to have said a lot of things that she should or shouldn't say, so I'll just say it. During this journey, I may need your help. Specifically, it is about the north of the wasteland." those dwarf things"

It may be that she has been in the human world for too long, but Tina behaved like a normal nobleman or businessman who is well-mannered and patient, not like a giant dragon, and she explained in detail.This made Tang Zhao heave a sigh of relief, and seemed to be a more talkative master.

What she needs help with, can be summed up simply as she needs to go deeper into the hinterland, go to the territory of the orcs, and look for something.

As for what he was looking for, Tang Zhao didn't ask too much, he knew that asking too much was not good for him.

[I can assist within the limit of my ability. 】

"Trouble you, if you can help, I am willing to give you a part of the harvest, of course only a part, just a part."

Repeatedly emphasized "a part", but he was still willing to share, which aroused Tang Zhao's vigilance - he knew very well that no matter what kind of dragon it was, it was extremely stingy, the difference was whether it would take by force, and what kind of method it used. The fact that he is willing to take the initiative to share benefits with others shows that this matter is not something he can easily solve by himself. In other words, the danger of this matter will be quite high.

Tang Zhao originally wanted to explain to the other party again, but the low sound of the horn interrupted his words.

I thought it was sahuagin or similar sea race raiders, but I didn't expect it to be a fleet of ships. The overall look was quite distressed, as if it had just experienced a big war, and the masts and sails of the ships were mostly damaged. Few parts of the hull were intact, and there were still a lot of dark red bloodstains deposited everywhere on the ship.

If one only looked at the ship itself, Tang Zhao would subconsciously think that it was a fleet that had been ransacked and completely abandoned, but someone at the bow was waving an unfamiliar flag, waving frantically, and using high-intensity lighting magic to the sky, desperately trying to let the Tang Zhao noticed them.

They must be human beings or some kind of extremely human-like creatures. Judging by their attire, they are not Oran people. At the same time, most of these people are wounded, obviously having experienced a hard battle.

Tina consciously ended the topic, looked up and down the ships, and at the same time put her slender right hand on the long sword with intricate silver and white patterns carved on her waist, ready to strike at any time.

She is the person in charge in name, but she doesn't seem to be very good at military affairs and commanding. The serious officer is in charge of the specific matters, and Tang Zhao doesn't need to say much. He consciously sends someone to row a boat to contact those people.

【Do you know where those people came from? 】 Out of curiosity, Tang Zhao still asked.

"Businessmen in a certain municipality of the Western Empire all fly the same eagle flag to the outside world. I rarely go there, and I can't tell the difference, but I can probably be sure that this group of people is quite courageous, and this trip is far enough."

[You mean, they circled the entire continent from the north or the south? 】 Tang Zhao understood the meaning.

"It's like this, to be precise, it's the north, because coming from the south will definitely supply supplies in Oran, we can't be unaware. It can save a little effort, they should have similar charts in their hands, otherwise it would be impossible to last Now."

After talking about her thoughts, Tina jumped lightly, tapped a few times on the sea and returned to her flagship. Tang Zhao also had to go to discuss matters, but she seemed much more embarrassed.

Jumped off the guardrail, quickly increased in size in the air, splashed a large pool of water, then swung its tail left and right like a crocodile, swung its tail three or five times before reaching the side of the flagship, and then climbed up embarrassingly.

No one cared about this process, because everyone was listening to the messenger brought back by the boat.

It is said that the captain shouted excitedly: "I beg you now to rescue the other ships that were besieged. We are only a small part of the lucky escape, and the rest are surrounded by those mermaids on an island not far away. Come on! Help us, save my brethren, I will give you anything you need!"

Sincerely, it seems that they are really anxious, but Tang Zhao knows that there are likely to be problems in it. Mermaids are a very law-abiding race, and they will hardly rob passing merchant ships unless the other party has done something else in advance.

Controlling his body size to a suitable range where he could look down on the other party, Tang Zhao patted the deck with his tail, signaling to those around him not to intervene, and let him negotiate with him.

"I need the chart of the sea you sailed here. In exchange, I will help you fish out the man. Is the deal valid?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Tang Zhao, the oversized lizard, to be the one talking about it, but he nodded and quickly agreed: "It's easy to say, I swear to Valkor, this deal can be done."

Sailors who live at sea and depend on life and death have been a relatively more devout group since ancient times. Valkur is the god of sailors and navigation safety, which is basically equivalent to swearing to Mazu, which is a very convincing oath from a sailor's point of view.

Tang Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and started to communicate and negotiate [Let my boat take him there, I have some contacts with the mermaid before, maybe things don't need to be too ugly, after all, the sahuayu are the common enemy. 】

The officer immediately turned his head to look at Tina. After Tina nodded in agreement, he readily agreed.

Bringing the captain in ragged clothes to his own boat, and leaving the sailors under the care of Tina and others, Tang Zhao immediately ordered the sailors to speed up and sail towards the destination at high speed. After three or four hours, they arrived at the island. Arrived to intercept the mermaid warrior.
