Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 385 Parting on bad terms
Ninety-nine percent of the food on Gegelu Island comes from the sea, including red shrimps with big heads, crabs, oysters, and tuna that are bigger than humans.

The expensive seafood that can only be seen on the tables of aristocrats in Derby is cheaper here than black bread, while wheat is extremely expensive here.

The best example is that no matter what kind of seafood the lord eats, the Shabet fishman is a little surprised but still maintains his aristocratic demeanor. However, when he stuffed all the few breads on the table into his mouth, the other party's mouth twitched obviously and he revealed a distressed look.

Therefore, Lord Li only gave a look, and the rough men of Gaoya Castle immediately cleared away all the bread and honey on the table, leaving the lord of Groglo Island looking at these starving dead souls in astonishment.

Viscount Chabet has already felt the amazing stomach capacity of this group of people. He feels that his small territory is almost being eaten up, although it was already very poor.

As a mermaid princess, Tiffany was a decent person, especially when facing the subjects of her own country. Therefore, she felt very embarrassed in this situation. She took off her white jade pearl bracelet from her hand and gave it to her distant uncle.

"Uncle Xia Beite's pearl bracelet can be considered as our food allowance." Tiffany said seriously.

In fact, this string of pearls is much more valuable than this meal. The reason why I gave it to the other party is so that I can ask to borrow the seahorse later.

"My dear Princess Tiffany, it is my duty as Viscount Seattle to welcome you." Viscount Chabet said seriously. Just when the lord could not help but change his impression of him a little, he accepted the pearl bracelet without blinking.

"But then again, my territory is in such a difficult situation. In order to entertain you, I even killed twelve tunas. If I don't have financial support, my people will have nothing to eat. I really can't bear to see them starve."

The fishman spoke with such sincerity that two tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, which moved the two crab men guarding next to him so much that they wanted to cut open the stomachs of these damn human big-bellied men to prevent them from continuing to eat.

The lord was speechless. This shameless attitude was just as shameless as his own.

"Princess Tiffany, can you tell me now how you came back?" After eating and drinking, Xia Beite finally asked.

"It was the human next to me who saved my life. I was tricked ashore by despicable slave traders, who ruthlessly sold me to a human magician. I thought I would be imprisoned by that magician for the rest of my life...but the merciful goddess Amphitrite sent my destined husband to me, and he defeated the magician and rescued me from captivity." Tiffany sweetly hugged the arm of the lord next to her and introduced her distant cousin to her uncle.

"Goddess Amphitrite, thank you for your generous rescue. I really can't express my gratitude in words." Xia Beite finally looked at the lord. Although his heart was as bitter as the thorns and gall at the bottom of the sea for this human who had used some unknown trick to become the husband of his princess, as a noble, he still expressed his most sincere gratitude seriously.

"Since I can't express my gratitude with words, why not do something practical?" The lord could clearly sense the other party's inner thoughts and didn't give him a good face for his hypocritical appearance. "My dear Uncle Xia Beite, what do you think?"

"Darling~ What are you talking about again?" The mermaid shook his arm innocently, then looked at Xia Beite apologetically: "Levi likes to joke a lot, I hope Uncle Xia Beite doesn't mind."

"...Nothing." Based on his noble status, Xia Beite still forced a smile and waved his hand pretending to be magnanimous, but looking at the intimacy between the two, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tiffany's face next to him, this human being with no manners at all would have been forked out by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. He would have had nothing to do with the group of strong men behind him.

"My territory is too poor, and I really can't give you any substantial thanks." Chabet continued, glancing at the group of griffin knights.

These knights were extremely strong and had cold eyes. They wore exquisite leather armor, carried strong bows and held long swords. One could tell at a glance that they were not clownfish who were just filling in the numbers.

Therefore, it can be seen that this human named Levi must have a high status in the human kingdom, and he may even be a noble.

"But when our Majesty Seattle learns that you rescued Princess Tiffany, he will definitely give you the most appropriate reward. The treasures of the Gem Sea, gold from you humans, or even a title is not impossible."

The sea guards nearby were jealous after hearing these words. They dreamed of becoming nobles and owning their own sea area so that they could catch whatever fish they wanted.

"Uncle Xia Beite, Levi is the duke of a human country, and he's also a dragon..." Tiffany said proudly, but before she finished, the lord patted her little hands, and the mermaid wife understood and kept silent.

But the identity of a duke also made Xia Beite and other sea creatures' eyes straight. Wow, he is actually a duke! No wonder these guards are so elite. I am afraid that even the group of swordfish warriors can't hold on for long. It feels like a look can wipe their necks.

They, the sea creatures, are not completely ignorant of the human world and naturally understand the value of a duke. His status is equivalent to that of the Sea King in Seattle who commands other seas. He is truly second to none.

"Who is this?" Xia Beite's gaze fell on Cersini next to Levi again, and she couldn't help but be attracted by the two majestic mountains.

He had long noticed this woman who was as beautiful as the night sky. Compared with her, his wives looked like dead clown fish that had been exposed to the sun for three days and three nights, which was hard to swallow.

"You stinky ugly fish, be careful or I'll dig out your eyes and feed them to the fish!" Sesni's eyes were cold and her tone was full of the attitude of doing what she said.

If the dragon wasn't under the roof now, it would have corroded this disgusting insect into mud with a breath of dragon breath in the past.

Only the Lord and Tiffany can handle the Black Dragon Queen. Anyone else is regarded as the lowest insect by this black dragon.

Even the simpleton Zamanzi was uncharacteristically honest and didn't dare to tease the queen.

Not to mention a small murloc viscount, even if the sea king of Seattle came, Cersney would not give him any face at all.

If Xia Beite continued to look, the black dragon might really dig out his eyes.

Levi watched with a smile on his face, particularly expecting Xia Beite to show some toughness.

Then the mermaid wife won’t be able to blame him, because it wasn’t him who ordered it anyway.

Unfortunately, to become a noble, knowing the times and being a hero is the most basic ethics. "My beautiful lady, I apologize for my rudeness to the other party just now." Viscount Chabet's legs kept trembling under the table. He thought he was facing a dragon with a bloody mouth.

"This is my slave."

Levi's calm words made Xia Beite jealous and crazy, especially when he saw the woman who was so fierce just now was now silent, as if she had tacitly agreed. He felt like he had eaten several pounds of sea anemones, and his eyes almost rolled back and he almost passed out.

It's fine that he became Princess Tiffany's husband, but he also had such a beautiful maid. Why did this human deserve that? !

"So Princess Tiffany, are you going to His Majesty's place or somewhere else next?" Xia Beite called over a sea maid and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the handkerchief she handed her.

"We plan to go to my fiefdom first, and then go to my father." Tiffany couldn't help showing an expectant look: "I don't know how my subjects are doing after leaving me, and my father..."

"This..." Xia Beite hesitated to speak, her face full of confusion.

Finally, he carefully considered his words and asked, "Princess Tiffany, may I ask, have you two received the blessing of the Poseidon?"

In fact, it can be seen from the mermaid princess's fish tail and legs, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"I love my husband very much. Please don't ask questions about this anymore, Uncle Xia Beite!" The mermaid princess finally showed her due momentum and gave a tough answer.

"My dear Tiffany, the pearl of Seattle, have you forgotten your engagement with Prince Olin?" Viscount Chabet finally couldn't help it and said with a bitter face: "Even if you have obtained the blessing of the goddess of the sea, Prince Olin will not mind. I sincerely hope that you can give up this unclear love that is destined to have no result."

"This is a beautiful mistake. Young people always make such mistakes, but it is not too late to correct this mistake now. I promise that Prince Olin will never care about this mistake and will love you as much as this eternal sea."

Li Wei looked with a smile at the distant relative in front of him who was trying to break up the couple.

Those who are familiar with the Lord of Highcliff Castle know that if the other party looks extremely angry, you probably still have a chance to survive, but if the other party is not angry but laughing, then you should prepare the coffin as soon as possible.

"I have never agreed to this marriage, not even my father. This is something you forced upon me." Tiffany frowned, holding the lord's hand tightly in her little hand.

"No." Viscount Chabet finally revealed a smug smile: "Princess Tiffany, you may not know that just after you disappeared, your father, His Majesty, agreed to this marriage. As long as Prince Olin finds you, he will marry you!"

"And now he has found you, because this is the sea area under the jurisdiction of Prince Orin."

"This is a fallacy." The mermaid princess finally got angry, and looked at her distant relative with an aggressive look: "First, I came back on my own, and no one found me. Even if someone did, it was Levi. Second, this engagement has never been agreed to by me, so it doesn't count at all!"

"Tiffany, why are you talking to him so much?" Levi was not polite anymore. It turned out to be the idiot prince's wife. "I respect you, but you think you are so impressive. If it weren't for Tiffany, you wouldn't even be qualified to see me!"

"Mr. Levi, please pay attention to your posture. A true noble would never be so rude and vulgar as an ignorant savage." Xia Beite said coldly.

It is true that a duke is definitely inferior to ten thousand people in the human kingdom, and he can easily deal with a small viscount like him with just a few words - but so what, this is the Gem Sea! It is the territory of the sea people!

There are countless sailfish warriors patrolling around Gegeluo Island!
"I am vulgar, so what?" Levi sneered, put his legs on the table, leaned back in his chair, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt, and he looked like a gangster boss.

"Crash~" All the Griffin Knights stood up at once, knocking over the tables, chairs and benches, and gathered around, their eyes as cold as the ice crystals at the bottom of the Gem Sea.

Zha Manzi twisted his neck, dragged a table upside down and walked over, while Xiao Buji kept waving his little fists to show off his power.

Viscount Chabet was a little panicked. Was the other party a noble? Why did he always draw his knife? Rather than nobles, he felt that they were more like a group of sea robbers who made a living by looting.

Groglo Island is just a small viscounty with no more than a thousand civilians. Although there are nearly a hundred soldiers, if a real fight breaks out, they may not be able to defeat this group of well-equipped humans.

"I'm sorry for my impoliteness just now." Viscount Chabet once again demonstrated his excellent quality of being able to adapt to changing circumstances and made an obviously insincere apology.

The griffin knights picked up the chairs and sat down. Zamanzi threw away the long table that was big enough to smash a crab man into a meat patty. Little Buji continued to sip her coconut juice, which her father had brought down for her when he passed by the beach earlier.

"Lord Chabet, I hope you can prepare a ship for us, and a seahorse to ride on!" Tiffany said coldly, "The string of white jade pearls I just gave you is enough to pay for these things, and there is still some left."

Apparently, the joy that the mermaid princess had just felt in seeing her relatives had been completely shattered by the viscount and thrown into the bottomless sea.

"Your Highness... I am happy to serve you." Xia Beite looked around at the griffin knights who were eyeing her covetously, finally smiled bitterly and agreed.

……

In fact, the sea people also have ships, but they are different from those of humans. They are made entirely of coral, with no oars or white sails, only five reins woven with sea vines on the bow.

All of these reins were tied to five giant bronze seahorses. These seahorses were made entirely of bone. Zha Manzi pinched them out of curiosity and found that they were harder than stone.
