Occupied

Unlike the floating Taran, Tidis is a kingdom composed of countless islands. The Pearl Island, located at the northernmost end, was famous for its prosperity before the Cataclysm, and was ranked among the three holy cities along with the Holy Sees and Notting Glow.

As a region where the God-Following clan lived for generations, even after eighty years of extermination, everyone who came to Pearl Island could still feel the influence of the hymns from the local architectural style and the decorations of the residents.

Both sculptures and buildings are accompanied by a strong religious atmosphere. Believers who do prayer-like believers, gods who show divine power, holy emblems symbolizing the sun god Mara, clothes embroidered with sun chrysanthemums and blessing inscriptions, and even most of the food shapes are made into round shapes... The whole city is like a huge place of religious worship, and everything you see and hear is related to Mara.

In the Age of the Anthem, the God-Following clan, who adhered to his faith, eliminated contact with the north with an extremely tough stance. All merchant ships were transferred through nearby island countries. The disadvantages of trade made the economy of this small island famous for producing pearls gradually depleted. Historians once said that Zorand was just a wedge. Even if this dark elf did not die on Pearl Island, the Civil War would only be delayed and one day would break out.

The cause is not just the opposition between light and darkness, but the conflict between species. Orcs always want to move into the warm south, but the southern land has long been occupied by humans, and there is no extra area to be distributed to the fierce and aggressive orcs. Whenever the climate is cold, the orcs' army will struggle with the dark elves who like to kill and the evil black dwarves to go south together, plunder merchant ships, and even push the army to the coastal island country headed by Tidis.

After a decade of war, Pearl Island, which once devoted to the light, can often see orcs and dark elves from the Northland.

Pearl Island, the fuse of the war, fell together with the Song clan. Although it has not become history forever, the decade of fall has allowed the island to remain some bad habits even after it was recaptured by Notting, such as acquiescing to trade with the Northland.

After arriving at a city closest to the shallow bay, Klein did not reveal his dark elves' bloodline as unscrupulously as he was in Taran. Instead, he wrapped himself tightly from head to toe with a cloak.

As one of the areas closest to the North Land, after experiencing the baptism of war, Pearl Island is no longer comparable to that of the chants.

The blood-colored mercenaries killed countless lives, only enemies and no friends. Even though eighty years have passed, he still dared not be careless.

The port is only five streets away from the border gate, and you can hear various shouts from afar, hawkers selling strange things from the north and various strange recruits can be seen everywhere.

Klein's eyes froze through the crowd and soon fixed on a strong-bodied man. He was wearing a sleeveless short shirt and had a long-horned red orc pattern on both arms. A notice was posted on the brick wall next to him, with only two simple sentences: Recruiting mercenaries and asking for men.

Klein recognized the tattoo, the holy emblem of the demon Selesto. As a powerful god in the dark system, except for the dark elves and orcs who advocate power, there is only one type of human being who tattooed this mark on his body - the Alfonso people of the Northland.

The strong man stood there, no matter how crowded the crowds around him were, his body was always empty. Not only because of the tattoo on his strong muscles, but also because he placed a special weapon on his side and an iron rod with sharp fangs. Ordinary people would not want to be hit by it, it would be a death.

After reaching the target, Klein pushed the crowd away and walked forward.

Ordinary businessmen would not show their tattoos so flamboyantly. With the special geographical location and religious environment of Pearl Island, they dare to ignore the blatant recruitment notices in the Harbour Patrol here, which is somewhat related to the pirates in the shallow bay.

"We only have veterans."

The gaze looked at Klein who had walked to him, and Beruji, who was in charge of recruiting people, grinned and showed a yellow teeth.

"Tell me about your conditions."

Klein's accent made the other party squint.

Alfonso?

"Do you have a mercenary certificate?" He spread his hands, Beruji didn't want to recruit a new rookie.

Klein took out a heavily worn silver badge and threw it to the recruiter who asked for evidence.

Well...it seems that some years ago, it shouldn't be picked from dead people?

"The name is not clear. This is not a mercenary guild, so you can't check your number. If you come up with some more powerful evidence, or fight me, if you are weaker than me, you don't have to go to the review."

"It's just a recruitment of individuals, and you're also playing re-examination. Do you think this is a recruitment of clerks?" Pulling down the hood, letting Beruji take a look at his appearance and then put it back immediately.

Dark Elf!

Beruji regretted saying too much.

Although he was a little conceited, he was still a little risky to fight with the Dark Elves.

"How, do you need other proof?"

"Well... I can pass it here, but the review is not my final decision." After returning the mercenary badge, Beruji winked at the thin companion with his hands wrapped around his chest in the corner of the street opposite. The man immediately walked over and stood beside Klein and signaled to follow him.

The lead man turned around and circled around the crowded crowd, but Klein didn't make a sound. After about twenty minutes, the thin and black man led Klein to a warehouse full of wood. It was very hidden here, and there was no ordinary person without patrolmen. Apart from the breathing hidden in the corner, there was no sound.

"Except the cloak."

A tall man who looked like a leader walked out from behind the wood, followed by a few subordinates, all of whom looked fierce, and you could tell at a glance that he was not a good person.

"Are you really recruiting? Why do I feel like a border inspection?"

"Stop talking, let's take it off if you want to take it off." The two minions walked forward and were about to pull Klein's cloak. Unexpectedly, he suddenly bent down and flashed behind the two of them. The ghostly speed scared everyone.

"Are you not a human?" The leader was not in the surprise, and he shouted calmly.

"To be precise, only one quarter of them are humans." He raised his hands and showed them to the other party.

There are only two races in the middle world with dark skin, the dark elves and the black dwarfs. Obviously, Kelaiyin's height will not make people divide him into the latter.

"Why don't you let me see your face? There are many people pretending to be dark elves these days. I need accurate evidence." The leader would not trust him because of his dark skin.

"Ha~ Another thing to ask for evidence. Both appearance and skin color can be disguised, but skills cannot be done. You can try it, but my weapons will not show mercy to the incompetent guys." Drawing the double swords from the inconspicuous scabbard. Although magic has been used as a cover-up, the smooth posture of drawing the sword has prevented the leader from moving his subordinates.

That kind of momentum is not a mediocre hand, without the elegance of the spirit in his bones, only those who have experienced life and death will have the killing.

"Let's say it clearly, we are pirates. Although the salary is not low, our relationship with Tidis is tense at the moment. You have to think clearly." The leader showed his identity directly and knew Klein's bloodline. He was not as cautious as before. In this sea area, even if he was mixed-race, no dark elf would stand on the side of the people in the Southland.

"I don't care whether it's a robbery or a war." Klein said in an indifferent tone: "As long as you can kill."

"Captain, this guy is too dangerous. Do you really want to get him on the boat?" One of the pirates didn't want to work with a dangerous person who could be stabbed in the back at any time.

Before showing their weapons, their feelings for Klein were still on a tall man. When the two swords appeared, the harmless illusion was immediately exposed, and their momentum was completely different from the previous one.

"What are you afraid of? There are even orcs on the ship." Alandy rebuked, then turned to Klein, who was still waiting for the result: "I just made it clear in advance that the probation period is seven days. If you violate the rules on the ship during this period, don't blame me for kicking you into the sea. I know that the Dark Elves are masters of hand-to-hand combat, but in terms of group fights, it is obvious that my chances of winning are greater."

"You will be satisfied with my performance, captain." Klein, a good-sounding hearing, inserted his two swords back into the scabbard, and at the same time he also restrained his murderous aura.

Alandy curled her lips.

Hopefully this guy won't fight with another violent person on the ship.

If it weren't for the tense situation recently, he wouldn't have recruited people so casually. He had no idea about his identity and origin, and was brought to the ship like this... It's all a blame on the damn Tidis Navy!

While cursing, Ellendy explained: "I want to ask. First, we must absolutely obey the command of our superiors. Second, no matter how big the conflicts there is with the crew, don't argue on the ship, especially during the sea voyage. If you want to fight or kill, you can go to land to resolve it. Third, it is strictly forbidden to inform the navy, church, and any other forces such as Hyde who threaten pirates, you will never be careless if you catch it. This last point is particularly important. Do you understand, newcomer."

"I am a dark elf, even if I am willing to report it, will the other forces you mentioned that threaten the pirates believe?" Turning the inferior crystal ring worn on the middle finger, Klein thought to himself, he didn't expect to join the pirates so soon. He thought he would rely on some merchants who had a relationship with the pirates to get closer step by step.

There are still twenty days left before the deadline, and Pearl Island and Shallow Bay are only five or six days away, which is enough to find out the pirate's nest before the harvest month.
