People's fanatical pursuit of wealth ushered in the Age of Discovery.
It was during the Age of Discovery that Gold accumulated a lot of wealth and developed rapidly.
Unfortunately, no one could cross the ocean and find the legendary golden country, and countless people died in the vast ocean.
Gradually, people began to regard the Golden Kingdom as a lie, just a way for Gold to attract people to his country.
The Age of Discovery gradually came to an end.
In later generations, although there were adventurers who wanted to challenge the sea, their endings were the same as those of the adventurers in the Age of Discovery, ending in failure.
"Do you think it is the Golden Country, Miss?" Sera asked.
Xia Yi shook her head. "I don't think it's possible. Maybe there is a vast land on the other side of the sea, just like here. They also imagined that we are the Golden Country and tried to cross the sea, but they also failed."
"This speculation is very reasonable. I originally thought that the eldest lady's conjecture would be more childish..."
"More what?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"Well……"
Xia Yi puffed up her lips.
This Sera, doesn't she really think of herself as a child?
Humph.
Forget it, this time I'll take action to change my personal maid's mind!
"Let's go! Let's go into the city and find a hotel first."
Xia Yi jumped down from the handrail.
Then, they left the dock and entered the city.
The name of this city is concise and to the point, it is called Seaside City.
The streets of the coastal city seemed a bit deserted.
It was obviously a wide street, but there were few pedestrians passing by, and even fewer carriages.
If you don’t know, you might think that the seaside city is under lockdown.
There were no shops open on the road, and apart from Xia Yi and Sera, there seemed to be no other tourists, only locals.
These locals are weirder than each other.
It is broad daylight now, but they are not working. They are all leaning on the street with numb expressions and empty eyes, as if they are the living dead.
Xia Yi thought about it carefully. Gold is now in the midst of war. All the royal family members have been eliminated. Various forces have intervened in the country and are fighting for interests. How can they have time to manage the civilians?
There was a thin and dark little girl who crossed the road and ran over to them after seeing Xia Yi and Sera.
"Sister, can you give me some money? I'm so hungry... I want to eat something..."
The little girl looked at Xia Yi pitifully and stretched out her hand.
Sera's expression was cold, without any fluctuation.
Xia Yi thought about it, and pulled Sera, “Sera, give me some money.”
"Miss, are you sure?"
"Well. First, we need to get intelligence here."
"Ok."
Sera handed some small change to Xia Yi.
Xia Yi took out a few copper coins and gave them to the little girl.
"Here, I think you can buy some food."
"Thank you, sister!" The little girl took the money and ran away.
When the other children saw the little girl successfully begging for money, they came over and asked Xia Yi for money.
Xia Yi gave it all.
When the adults saw what Xia Yi did, they shamelessly surrounded her, started complaining and begged her for money.
More and more people came and surrounded Xia Yi and Sera.
"Miss, there is no need for you to be so sympathetic to these inferior races." Sera reminded.
"You'll understand right away."
Xia Yi smiled slyly, then took out some money and threw it into the sky.
Suddenly the crowd was in an uproar, not caring about anything else and starting to scramble for the food.
Taking advantage of this gap, Sera grabbed Xia Yi's hand, ran away from the crowd, and entered an alley.
In the alley, Xia Yi asked Sera to wait there. After less than half a minute, the alley was blocked by a group of strangers with bad intentions.
"I'm sorry, two beautiful ladies, you are surrounded by us."
When Sera saw this, she understood.
She laughed, stood in front of Xia Yi, and said coldly to the group of people:
"No, you are surrounded by me alone."
07 Penguin Gang (Additional Update)
Blocking the entrance to the alley were the local gang of thugs in Seaside City, the Penguin Gang. Their leader was a wolf-headed man from the wolf clan named Jill.
The reason why they are called the Penguin Gang has little to do with its members.
It's just that the eldest brother, Gil, has a penguin.
The Penguin Gang is a considerable force in Seaside City. When the locals see the Penguin Gang, they have to take a detour.
Today, Jill took his brothers out on patrol and saw an interesting scene.
On the street of the coastal city, I actually saw two strangers from outside giving money to the locals.
They are two very beautiful women.
Laughed.
Jill couldn't help laughing when she saw the two women.
It's really stupid. You have to know that these days, because conflicts are happening everywhere, many people can't even afford to eat, and yet they can see two kind-hearted outsiders giving money to others.
How stupid a woman must be to do such a thing?
It's just like he has never been out in society.
Judging from their attire, they are probably aristocratic ladies who are ignorant of the ways of the world and must be worth a lot of money.
Of course, Jill will teach these two women a lesson and let them understand what the world is like!
Then he led his brothers to catch up with the two women and blocked the entrance to the alley.
But what is a bit strange is that even though they were surrounded, the other side still dared to speak wildly.
"Brother, what is this woman talking about?"
The Penguin Gang members were confused and asked Jill.
"She said, surround us?"
"I think this woman has lost her mind! Haha!" another member of the Penguin Gang shouted.
All of a sudden, all the members of the Penguin Gang burst into laughter, and the alley was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Jill looked the two women up and down. They were both delicate and fair-skinned, and had never been exposed to the wind and rain. They were definitely young ladies who had been brought up in seclusion.
He raised his hand and told his younger brothers to stop laughing.
"Don't be nervous, two beautiful ladies. I'm the leader of the Penguin Gang, Jill. We're having some troubles right now. Can you listen to me?"
"Difficulties?" Sera's eyes were cold.
"Yes, we are so hungry that we can't afford to eat. Seeing that the two beautiful ladies are so generous and kind, I think it would be okay if they could lend us a little money. Maybe we can even make friends!"
“……” Sera didn’t say anything.
Haha!
Jill was amused. It was obvious that the two women were scared and couldn't say a word!
Come to think of it, these two women must have never seen the world. They must have been scared to death when they saw so many people surrounding them. They were probably very scared when they were shouting like that just now, so they were talking nonsense.
"Two beautiful ladies, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us and don't resist, we won't do anything to you." Jill said proudly.
Sera was obviously suppressing some impulse.
Xia Yi said in a low voice: "Sera, please be careful, I will ask you questions later."
In fact, this is what Xia Yi was worried about, because the dragon clan has always been very arrogant and does not take outsiders seriously at all.
In Sera's eyes, the lives of these people were probably no different from the small insects on the roadside. She would step on them and crush them to death without even blinking an eye.
"I understand. Since it is the order from the young lady..."
Sera sighed.
"You two don't listen to big brother, what are you whispering about?!"
The members of the Penguin Gang planned to give Xia Yi and Sera a warning first, and walked towards them aggressively.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the Penguin Gang member suddenly appeared in the trash can, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted.
The expressions on the faces of the Penguin Gang, who were laughing just now, froze.
"What did you just do!?" Jill demanded.
Sera shook her hands, "It's so dirty."
