Chapter 466 A Lamenting Song

The Republic of Genoa was a trading nation established after the collapse of the Roman Empire, centered around the port of Genoa. At its peak, its power even covered the entire island of Sardinia.

Genoa, along with Pisa and Venice, was an important trading port in the Mediterranean region. Goods from the Arab world in the eastern Mediterranean were unloaded here every day, and then distributed to the western Mediterranean and even the cold North Sea after finding suitable buyers.

The port area of ​​Genoa is filled with trading houses, and every trading guild qualified to establish a trading house there is a prominent figure in this land. Among the most illustrious trading houses, one belongs to the Sea Clan.

From the very first day of its opening, the Sea Clan's trading post became the most popular trading post in the entire port of Genoa, because they had the finest Bactrian silk, porcelain, and pure white sugar and tea, each of which was the most sought-after commodity.

"We're closing today, it's already dark. Come back tomorrow! We have a new cargo ship docking tomorrow..." the shopkeeper shouted with difficulty, persuading the merchants who hadn't bought any goods to leave. It was only with great difficulty that he managed to close the gate.

Salia spent the entire day on the second floor of the trading post. She was sent by the Sea Clan Royal Court to oversee the business in this area. For a newly established trading guild to gain a foothold in an old trading region like Genoa, it wasn't just about having high-quality goods; it also required strong financial backing.

Salia possessed considerable strength. She was a "friendly exchange" envoy sent by the sea creatures to Dayuan. Although she was dispatched back to Hania by Debbie to report the news, arriving a few days later than the other mermaid girls, she eventually found a suitable partner and was very fortunate to awaken her ancestral bloodline, causing her strength to soar significantly.

"Helena, lock the vault door and get some rest! The ship will probably arrive very early tomorrow, so let's meet at the dock!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Saliya, good night!"

Helena also has the blood of the mermaid royal family, but she is not yet qualified to go to Da Yuan for "friendly exchanges" and can only watch enviously as Salia's figure gracefully disappears into the distance.

With her strength and status, Salya was entitled to a comfortable residence in the city of Genoa, but she built a simple and exquisite little house by the quiet sea, far from the port, which was very peaceful.

What kind of letter should I write tonight? Sigh... When will we be able to meet again...?

Because the alliance between the Great Elf Clan and the Sea Clan cannot be made too public for the time being, Salia's partner did not return to the Western Continent with her, and writing letters to her lover every night became one of the most important things for Salia.

Salia walked alone along the seaside path. Just as she was about to reach home, she suddenly stopped, her muscles tensing and her eyes becoming wary.

"Whoever you are, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or the deep sea will be your final resting place!"

From the darkness before Salia emerged a figure dressed in a hooded jumpsuit, holding an ornate cane, who floated lightly before her.

"As expected of a powerful member of the sea race, you managed to detect me from such a distance!"

“Reveal your identity, or I’ll have to get rough!” Salia warned the other party sternly.

She had just noticed something unusual around her by the sea air, but she couldn't pinpoint the other party's location until they appeared. She wasn't entirely confident she could devour them, so she wanted to find out more about them first.

"It's best not to reveal my identity. I've come only for the life-giving fountain within you!"

"The Fountain of Life? Who exactly are you? How dare you covet our sea race's sacred artifact! You're courting death!"

"So... you really do possess the Fountain of Life?" The newcomer's voice turned to surprise, and his eyes, hidden deep within his hood, shone with excitement.

Salia did not reply. Instead, she used her talent to draw the nearby water vapor toward her. She was confident in her strength. There were no more than twenty people in the entire Western Continent who could defeat her at the seaside, and even fewer who could keep her alive. She could use the power of the sea to fight or escape at any time.

"Water power... Your talent is excellent. Hand over the Fountain of Life, and I'll let you go!"

"dream!"

With a shout, countless water swords slashed through the darkness, whistling as they hurtled towards the robed man.

The cane in the robed man's hand glowed faintly, and the water swords that filled the sky froze in front of him, unable to move forward an inch.

Salia once again channeled the power of water, and surging waves crashed ashore, slamming down on the robed man.

A shimmering white light appeared in the night, and a large amount of seawater flowed along the edge of the light without wetting the person in the robe.

Salia gasped. She knew that the waves she controlled could shatter even the sturdiest merchant ships, and even a Grand Knight would find it difficult to withstand, let alone a Knight Commander-level expert who could handle them so easily.

"You are... from the Temple?" In the entire Western Continent, only the bigwigs of the vampires and the powerful figures of the Temple possessed this ability. The glowing white light filled Salia with fear.

"......"

"Why? We have an agreement with the Temple!"

"Young lady, you shouldn't have recognized me. If you had just handed over what I wanted, I really could have let you go..."

Salia turned and darted towards the sea, deciding to escape first and not get entangled with this enemy any longer.

A beam of light blocked Salia's path, and the ornate staff was used as a longsword, forcing Salia back to the shore.
