"Don't listen to those bastards." Ade cursed.
In fact, fishing at night has long been prohibited in this area, and the nobles are no exception.
Because the people above said that more and more ships mysteriously disappeared in this sea at night...
But Ade didn't believe such nonsense. He had been a fisherman here for more than ten years and had never encountered any problems. He just thought that the people above him were bored.
"Brother, is there a school of fish ahead?" Ale suddenly shouted.
Ade ran to the bow and looked into the distance. The kobolds had very good night vision and could see a large area of pitch-black beneath the moonlit sea.
It also emits a faint light.
He had never seen so many fish before!
Ader was ecstatic, "We are going to be rich! If we catch this many fish, we can make a living for several months!"
"There's still such a good thing. Quick, quick! Let's catch up and don't let the fish get away!!"
Ade took the helm and chased after the large dark area ahead with all his might.
I don’t know if it was God’s blessing, but the “school of fish” suddenly stopped and didn’t move.
Two ogre fishing boats soon stopped there.
"I'm going to make a ton of money today, Wu!!"
Alai howled excitedly to the sky, grabbed the net and started casting the fish below.
But just as he cast the net, the sound stopped abruptly.
"Haha, after finishing this, I will have enough money for the wedding. Then I must have a nice banquet to make my wife proud..." Ade even entered into a beautiful fantasy.
But after a long while, the boat became eerily quiet. He could no longer hear Alai's voice, which felt a bit strange.
"Alai, what the hell are you doing? Stop being lazy!"
Ade walked out cursing, and was dumbfounded when he saw what was happening.
What happened, Alai...is missing?
He looked around but couldn't find him.
Suddenly, an inexplicable chill crept up his back, making him unable to move.
I feel like I'm being stared at by something...
His heart was beating so wildly that it almost made his chest explode.
The kobold tried hard to suppress his fear, slowly walked to the side of the boat and looked down.
He and the "school of fish" were looking at each other.
"..."
thump.
After a sound of falling into the water, there was no one left on the boat.
Then, the pitch-black "school of fish" carried the fishing boat back to the coast.
Hungry, they began to walk ashore and head towards the town where the lights were still on.

"Your Highness, this is your new job," Sera said, "Go to Gold to investigate the truth of the disaster."
"You mean... is this a disaster?"
After listening to Sera's narration, Xia Yi was a little confused.
She had a general understanding of the past and present of the country of Gold, as well as the panic that was spreading in Gold.
"It should be. A disaster has befallen Gold now. Many coastal cities have been swept by unknown disasters, and many people have died. Gold has just fallen into a huge civil strife, which has made the people of Gold even more panicked. If our dragon clan can solve the disaster in Gold, we can gain the trust of the people of Gold. After that, we can drive away other foreign races that want to intervene in Gold, and even gain the faith of the people of Gold. They will regard the dragon clan as the savior, and this land will be in the hands of our dragon clan forever."
"What exactly is this disaster?"
"Your Highness, this mission was not originally assigned to you. We, the Dragon Clan, had previously sent someone to Golde, but that dragon mysteriously disappeared during the investigation and has not returned since. Now, we, the Dragon Clan, cannot sit idly by."
"Is this the job Xia Lulu assigned to me?"
Sera nodded. "Yes, this is what Her Majesty the Queen meant. This mission is somewhat dangerous. But you also understand that if you complete the dangerous mission, you will naturally be able to establish prestige in the Dragon Clan, especially by taking down the country of Gold. You can accept or refuse. Her Majesty the Queen has given you the right to choose. Whatever you choose is fine."
"I understand."
Xia Yi fell into deep thought, analyzing the pros and cons.
Sera waited for a long moment without speaking.
When the little princess opened her eyes, it seemed that she had finally thought it through.
"Then, Your Highness, your choice is..."
04 There will be rewards after completing the work (more)
Do I still need to choose?
Xia Yi already had the answer in her heart.
What is she missing now?
majesty!
That’s right, due to a series of actions he had taken before, everyone in the Dragon Palace now thought that he was a mascot.
And isn’t this job the best opportunity to establish your authority?
The little princess is not afraid of difficult tasks.
Thinking back to the time when I was the Sword Saint of the human race, I traveled across this land. What kind of difficulties had I not experienced?
Even when facing the crisis of death, he never backed down.
It was in such an environment that the human swordsman developed his outstanding swordsmanship and firm swordsmanship.
The missing dragons only further highlighted the danger of the mission.
If he could really succeed in completing the task, investigating the disaster in Gold, or even solving it, then it would be just as Sera said, the dragon clan would gain the faith of the people of Gold.
The dragon clan will also admire Xia Yi for accomplishing this feat.
Thus, majesty is obtained!
That way, no one will regard you as a mascot anymore.
The days of humiliation will end.
"Sera, do you think I'm scared?" Xia Yi laughed.
"Your Highness, if it is my opinion that you do not have to accept this, it would be better to leave such a dangerous mission to someone else."
"Poke it!"
Xia Yi shook her finger.
"If you retreat just because of a threat, then what's the difference between you and a cowardly mediocre person? The reason why the royal family is the royal family is that it is different from ordinary dragons! I accept this mission. I will show the entire dragon clan what the way of a king is, so as to cleanse everyone's impression of me!"
"……Ok, I see."
Sera was a little surprised, but still respected Xia Yi's choice.
She originally thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess would not be too interested in these things, and would not want to take any risks...
But the enthusiasm shown by Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed very strong.
Although Her Royal Highness the Princess usually likes to be willful, make trouble, and cause trouble. She is extremely arrogant and says one thing and means another.
But her strength is real.
In terms of talent alone, not many people can defeat a fourth-level enemy with third-level strength.
It's just that because other aspects of one's personality attract too much attention, many people overlook this fact.
Perhaps Her Royal Highness the Princess's actions this time can remind everyone of this once again.
"Sera, when can we start this mission?" Xia Yi asked.
"Anytime, Princess, as you wish."
……
Dragon Palace, the Queen's office.
"Lucia, you seem to have something to say?"
Xia Lulu lowered his head and processed documents.
Lucia stood aside.
"Will it bother you to talk to you now, Your Majesty?"
"will not."
Xia Lulu wrote his opinions on a document and put it aside, then picked up another one and started reading it.
The whole process went smoothly without any pause.
"It's about Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Xia Yi?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is just my personal opinion. Please forgive me for saying so, but this mission is too dangerous for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Lucia became a little worried.
"Previously, our fellow tribesmen sent to Gold encountered an accident while carrying out an investigation mission. There was no news at all, not even a warning was sent back. This situation is extremely rare. I think that if there is an enemy, then this enemy may be very familiar with the dragon race."
The dragon species is already a very powerful species in this land.
The dragons sent over at that time were of level three strength.
In other words, the degree of danger is at least level three.
