It was a sunny and windy day.

At the secret pier on the east side of the White Sturgeon Island, there is a flat-bottomed clay electric boat that is more than 20 meters long and more than 10 meters wide, with 20 young men sitting on it.

Each of the young men was strong and handsome, wearing only a pair of leather shorts that revealed their muscular, bronzed upper bodies.

When the sun shines on them, a faint metallic feel appears on their smooth bronze skin, making their already bulging muscles appear even more explosive.

It felt like the people on the boat were not mortals, but twenty sun gods descended to earth! This group of young people were the core members of the Sun Warriors Project, and Rosen had spent a lot of money to train them.

There were ten Fishman Killer speedboats surrounding the flat-bottomed electric boat, and Rosen was sitting on one of the speedboats.

This time it’s not a puppet, but the real body.

Because the maximum control distance of the puppet is 40 kilometers, and he is about to be at least 100 kilometers away from the island this time, which is far beyond the control distance.

It's a bit risky, but not completely risky.

Not only did he bring guards, he also carried many powerful magical weapons, and had mastered the six-ring "Flawless Steel Dragon Body" spell, which greatly improved his defense.

Seeing that everything was ready, he shouted, "Let's go, move forward at a medium speed."

"If you encounter fishmen blocking your way along the way, attack directly without any hesitation."

It is true that murlocs are slaves of the deep-sea banshees, but murlocs are different from each other.

The fish-man society is somewhat similar to the ant colonies on Earth.

There is one murloc queen in each tribe.

The queen only does two things: eat continuously and give birth continuously.

After the fish eggs hatch, they will be raised by merman maids.

And according to their different qualifications, they are fed different queen's milk to make them grow into murlocs for various purposes.

Among them, ordinary murlocs are the most numerous, accounting for 90% of the murloc tribe. They are fed the least queen's milk and grow the fastest, making them pure consumables.

Therefore, as long as there is no deliberate massacre and no harm to the higher-level murlocs, it will not be regarded as an unforgivable serious provocation by the deep-sea banshees.

"Woo~~~~~"

The speedboat and flat-bottomed boat started slowly and sailed towards the depths of the fishman sea at a moderate speed.

Harry, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, was also on the speedboat where Rosen was, and he felt very guilty.

"Lord, is this reliable?"

He had never seen anyone use seduction to expand territory, and if Rosen hadn't quoted from classics, he would never have agreed to such a ridiculous plan.

Rosen was also a little bit unconfident, after all, all the information came from ancient books.

Although there is evidence from many sources, times have changed. Who knows what the deep-sea banshee looks like now?

But as a lord, you must never show cowardice. Even if you are slapped in the face by facts, you must ignore the facts and fight back.

What's more, no one can be sure of the situation now.

His face showed the same calm expression as usual, and he looked unhurried.

"Harry, you must remember that only stories and novels need to be reasonable. The real world does not require any logic. As long as it exists, it is reasonable."

Harry was really frightened: "Well, the Lord is right."

He had been a soldier for so many years and had indeed encountered many strange things that had shattered his worldview. He knew that this world was indeed outrageous.

The speed of the speedboat was not slow. Even at medium speed, it was still about 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. It soon traveled more than 100 kilometers and arrived at the central area of ​​the triangular sea area.

This is the place where deep-sea banshees are most frequently encountered in the ship's log.

Over three hundred years, a total of about 24 encounters have been recorded, with the most recent being about 20 years ago.

"Move slowly!"

After the fleet slowed down, Rosen took out a special lightning loudspeaker, turned it on, adjusted the power to maximum, and started shouting on the sea.

"Laltris~~~~Laltris~~~~~"

The power of this loudspeaker is really great, and the sea is really vast. When Rosen shouted, the sound spread far away on the sea.

The soldiers who were fifty or sixty meters away even felt the deafening sound, and many of them could not help but cover their ears tightly.

For the rest of the way, Rosen kept shouting, not just his name, but also some words to show his sincerity in communication.

"We are neighbors of the nearby Sturgeon Island, and we come here with good intentions~~~"

"Beautiful girls, we hope to have a good talk with you and do some maritime trade that is beneficial to both sides~~"

After shouting for about half an hour, Rosen suddenly felt a group of faint magical fluctuations appearing on the sea ahead.

The distance was about one thousand meters. If there were rocks blocking it, Rosen would not be able to feel it, but the sea was vast, so he could feel it clearly.

He felt a group of magical power fluctuation sources entering the sea, moving at a very high speed in the shallow water, and constantly approaching the fleet.

Rosen estimated that it was the deep-sea banshee coming, and immediately raised his hand to issue an order: "Stop moving forward, but maintain power supply and maintain the highest alert!"

The fleet stopped and drifted slowly on the sea, with only the humming sound of the motors turning slowly remaining.

After a while, Rosen saw fifteen or sixteen black shadows rushing out of the sea in the distance.

After reaching the sky, it quickly spread its wings, then flapped violently and rushed towards him.

The entire transformation process is smooth and silky, and the fluctuations of mana are harmonious and beautiful, showing a natural beauty.

Rosen secretly sighed in his heart: "This must be a natural talent for transformation."

It's very powerful, but one can also feel that this transformation talent is still just a simple modification of muscles and bones, and does not involve any important organs in the body.

When the crew saw the woman rushing out of the sea, they were all shocked and subconsciously exclaimed in horror.

Even the senior wizard Harry couldn't avoid it.

"Quiet!"

Rosen shouted, "What's coming aren't monsters, but a group of sea dwellers who are good at shapeshifting!"

Seeing the lord so calm, the soldiers all found their backbone and felt much more at ease.

Soon, the black shadow flew closer. Its appearance was just as described in the logbook, with no clothes on and its body stretched straight in the sky. The outside of its thighs, arms, head, and belly were all covered with feathers.

Most banshees have dark blue feathers, but there is one exception.

Among them was a banshee whose magic power fluctuations were obviously stronger. Although the base color of her feathers was also blue, under the sunlight, many pearl-like colorful lusters could be seen.

The banshees hovered over the fleet for a while.

The pearl-blue-feathered banshee shouted at the fleet, "You rude intruders, you shouted our queen's name without permission. Apologize to us immediately!"

The language used was actually the common language of the Natural Alliance, or more accurately, the ancient common language.

Rosen apologized without hesitation: "I apologize to you. I offended the Queen's majesty because I didn't understand the rules of the deep sea. I was wrong."

The banshees calmed down a lot. The previous banshee continued to shout, "Follow us. There is a reef exposed above the sea ahead. We can talk there."

Rosen raised his hand and said, "Go forward, keep the speed low, and be careful of the reefs in the sea!"

The fleet started again, following the flying banshee slowly.

Harry whispered, "Lord, will these witches harm us?"

Rosen shook his head: "Don't worry, they have no reason to harm us."

With the sensitivity of the Ten Rings Mage and Lai Fu's fine observation of facial expressions,

He sensed no ill intention.

We followed it all the way and drove for about ten minutes, and indeed we saw a reef of considerable size.

The area of ​​the reef exposed above the sea is about 100 square meters, and the surface is very uneven, like a smallest island mountain.

The banshees flapped their wings and landed on the rocks one after another, and as they fell, all the feathers on their bodies turned into thick, long hair at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The long dark blue hair covering the snow-white skin was like a combination of blue waves and white waves, so beautiful that it immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers.

The leader of the banshees looked down at the fleet and shouted, "Alright, stop thirty meters away and don't get any closer!"

Rosen immediately ordered the fleet to do so.

At the same time, he carefully observed the banshees and found that according to the aesthetic standards of the human race, most of the banshees' looks were only considered above average.

But perhaps because of the long-term high-intensity activities in the sea, the banshees have very graceful figures and their skin is indeed very moist, as smooth and white as if it had been oiled.

Also because they had no clothes on, the crew members couldn't control themselves, and their eyes were focused on the banshees like spotlights.

She crossed her arms over her chest, stood on the rocky slope with one leg higher than the other, and said to Rosen from above, "You are the leader, right?"

"Yes, I am."

"Let me ask you, what kind of ship is this?"

"Rune Lightning Ship is a magical weapon."

"Oh~~you run pretty fast."

The banshee leader turned her head and looked at the twenty sun warriors sitting on the flat-bottomed boat. She stared at them for a long time before slowly moving her eyes away.

"You just said you wanted to trade with us?"

"Yes, trade, and the bigger the better. If you can't make the decision, I hope to have a meeting with your queen."

"Our queen is currently unavailable, so why don't you talk about the trade first."

Rosen took out the prepared trade items and said, "We need fish, seaweed, pearls, corals, and various seabed minerals."

"At least we can provide you with a sharp knife that will not rust. It is a very handy tool, especially for filleting fish."

"Look, this is it."

As he spoke, Rosen gently threw the tempered clay dagger that was used as a sample up there.

The clay used for this thing is a relatively rare gray-white clay. After tempering, the material is very similar to the ceramic knives in the previous life, and it is very, very sharp.

The banshee leader took the dagger, pulled the weapon out of the scabbard and examined it carefully, a satisfied look on her face: "It is indeed a very good weapon. How much do you plan to exchange for it?"

This is a difficult problem for Lawson. It would be bad to report higher or lower prices.

So he said, "We spent a lot of money to make these weapons. They are precious to us, but only to us."

"After all, this is a two-way deal, so it has to be based on what you think it's worth."

The banshee played with the dagger and said, "We don't trade with foreigners easily unless they can prove their sincerity."

Rosen asked knowingly: "How to show sincerity?"

The banshee leader pointed at the Sun Warriors on the flat boat.

"We like them and want to have fun with them. If they can satisfy us, we will trade, otherwise you can go back."

Rosen immediately looked at the Sun Warriors on the punt and picked out sixteen based on the number of banshees.

"No, we want them all, and I want that one. Yes, the tallest and strongest one, with blue eyes and blonde hair."

"We'll just play on this reef. And the rest of you stand back and wait."

In this case, Rosen ordered the boys.

"Go, warriors of the White Sturgeon Island, show them your greatest sincerity!"

These guys have very good foundations and are real men picked from thousands.

Rosen also worked with his mentor Anna to bestow upon them all the master version of the "Divine Spear" technique, which directly raised their strength to several levels.

At this moment, each of them was as excited as a hungry wolves.

Upon hearing Rosen's order, they rushed to jump off the flat-bottomed boat and swam quickly to the reef.

Rosen waved his hand and said, "Retreat 100 meters!"

The fleet retreated and waited patiently.

As time passed, the battle on the reef continued without stopping.

Harry looked excited at first, even envious, but as he watched, he shuddered all over, and his expression became more and more solemn.

"Lord, these deep-sea banshees are really powerful!"

The battle had lasted for half an hour, and some banshees were even able to fight one against two and still hold their own.

If he were to take over, he would probably be defeated within a few minutes.

However, the Sun Warriors are not completely at a disadvantage, as they also have some top players among them.

The tall and strong warrior chosen by the banshee leader is particularly powerful.

He actually defeated the banshee leader, who was supposed to be the strongest, and even made her almost faint.

Rosen secretly admired: "What's the name of that young man?"

"Frodo, he was originally a high-ranking knight."

"No wonder he is so brave. When we return this time, I will give him a promotion in rank and a raise in salary."

"Yes, lord."

Harry also felt that Frodo was really powerful. Others were outnumbered two to one, but after he defeated the Banshee Lord, he actually faced off against a second one.

He suspected that this thing could even poke a hole in the reef below.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the Sun Warriors completely defeated their opponents and won the final victory.

Rosen waved his hand.

"Almost there, come closer."

As the fleet approached, the Sun Warriors immediately returned to the flat-bottomed boat, each with a smile of satisfaction yet fatigue on their face.

Look at the reef again.

Since the banshees were already defeated, their condition was naturally even worse than that of the Sun God warriors. They fell on the rocks one by one and lay motionless.

After a long while, the banshee leader was the first to recover some strength.

She said weakly, "Lord, you have proved your sincerity very well."

"For this dagger, we will give you ten thumb-sized pearls, or a fresh fish as heavy as an ordinary murloc, or three times the weight of seaweed."

Rosen's heart lit up when he heard this: "This is a great way to make money."

Then the Banshee leader pointed at the Sun Warriors.

"But for every transaction, you must bring strong guys like this. The more the better. Because the other sisters also need to feel your sincerity."

Rosen immediately looked embarrassed: "Madam, can I state three conditions?"

“You said, but I hope you won’t be too greedy.”

"First, we hope to change the trading location to the reef near the island, or even right next to the island. The reef is too hard and has worn our skin out."

The banshee leader nodded: "That's right, then you choose a position."

Rosen continued with the second point: "Look at us strong guys. We have put in a lot of effort and energy to show our sincerity. For us humans, this requires extra payment."

The banshee leader was stunned for a moment, looked down at the sun warriors on the flat boat, turned to whisper and discuss with her sisters, and then nodded.

"I agree with that. After all, it's rare to see such a strong and masculine guy."

After thinking about it, she was about to quote a price: "Then."

Rosen immediately said, "Madam, let the boys and your sisters negotiate the price themselves? After all, they are the ones who pay and enjoy."

"That's a very reasonable statement. Well, let them talk among themselves."

Rosen said one last condition: "Captain, our ship wants to pass through the deep sea and head south to the East Golden Cape."

After saying that, he immediately added: "We know the rules. We will pay the full toll. But how much is it exactly? I hope to find a formal occasion and a formal time to discuss it in detail?"

The Banshee leader was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Don't rush this matter, after all, we are not familiar with you yet."

"Let's trade for a while. If we find you trustworthy, we can discuss the next step."

When it was the first contact, Rosen didn't expect to get everything done in one go.

Moreover, his ultimate goal is not to do business with the banshee, but to take control of this sea area.

Just as the Banshees needed to understand them, he also needed to get to know the Banshees better through trade.

Whether it is war or peace, intelligence comes first.

"Ma'am, you are right, then let's trade first."
