Different World: The Devil's Coming

Chapter 168 Arrival at Crescent Bay

Another month passed, and Lan Quan finally came down to the cabin to call Mo Fan and the other three who were playing cards.

"Stop playing cards, it's almost time."

Ever since Mo Fan taught Lan Kexin how to play Landlord, the girl would play cards with a few people all day long. But there was a problem. Landlord was a game for three people, so there would always be one person who couldn't participate. So Lan Kexin started to pester Mo Fan to learn other games.

Thus, flying chess and mahjong came out. However, compared to leisure flying chess, Lan Kexin is obviously more interested in the more competitive mahjong. Maybe she simply thinks the sound of mahjong falling on the table is very pleasant.

Fortunately, with the previous example, Mo Fan and Ellie unanimously decided to play with the flying vehicle. Chenxi didn't care, so Lan Kexin had no choice but to play flying chess with them.

"Hahaha, it's six o'clock, I'm finally out!!!"

Lan Kexin looked at the dice on the chessboard and jumped up happily. It was because her four chess pieces were all in their own territory and were beaten back...

This was the scene Lan Quan saw when he walked in. Mo Fan and the other two were eating snacks, chatting, or reading books, but Lan Kexin was the only one staring at the chessboard while eating snacks.

Mo Fan had also thought about whether Lan Kexin was just one of those people who was not good at playing games. Lan Kexin was not so unlucky on weekdays. She couldn't give in even if she wanted to.

The arrival of Lan Quan also freed Mo Fan and the others. The three of them immediately got up and left the living cabin to work overtime. Lan Kexin tried to call them to stay and finish this round, but the three of them did not stop.

During this month, even Chenxi felt Lan Kexin's terrifying competitive spirit.

Lan Quan was quite helpless when he saw this scene. He also understood his sister, so he didn't say much. After saying hello to Lan Kexin, he left.

Only Lan Kexin snorted angrily before following.

Mo Fan and his three companions came to the deck and looked at the island not far away, all of them were confused. Mo Fan immediately asked Lan Quan.

"Didn't you say we were going to the Sea Clan? Do the Sea Clan also live on islands?"

"Haha, of course not. The sea tribe lives in the water, but they can also go ashore. This island is a temporary boundary between us and the sea tribe. If we cross this island, we will enter the territory of the sea tribe. At that time, there will be endless sea tribes coming to attack our ships."

"So, we are negotiating on this island?"

"That's right. But it's more like peace talks than negotiations. We don't want to start a war with them, and we don't even want the occasional friction we have now. As intelligent races, we can communicate, and we can also cooperate. Whether it's the elves and goblins in the past, or your demons now, haven't they all started to cooperate?"

"Is that so... Then why don't the sea tribe want to cooperate? Is there some conflict between the two of you?"

"This... I'm not sure either, so I'm trying to get you to come and talk. Actually, we do have some cooperation, but it's just exchanging mineral materials on a daily basis. They don't need herbs, and food tastes completely different if it gets soaked in water."

"Can't they go ashore to use the herbs and food?"

"It's not that they can't, it's that they don't want to. Because the two sides haven't reached a peace treaty, so it's impossible for too many of their members to surface to prevent us from attacking them."

Mo Fan was silent. This was not acceptable. The only mineral transaction was just a business transaction. I was afraid that only the merchants in the sea tribe would care about this. The other tribe members would probably still oppose it.

If I were to give an example, it would be the few cities where humans and demons coexist. Only merchants and knights who protect them live in those cities. The rest of the civilians still have more malice towards the demons, and only the nobles can keep some sense because of the peace treaty.

Of course, this is not to say that there is a problem. After all, after so many years of war, it is unrealistic for both sides to let go of their grievances. Not to mention humans, even among the demons, there are still many demons who look down on humans. If it were not for the peace treaty signed by the Demon King, which shocked the entire demon clan, I am afraid that many demons would still go their own way.

Chenxi and Ai Li, who were standing by, also took turns asking questions, hoping that their identities could be of some help. In response, Lanquan expressed his gratitude and said that he would reward them handsomely regardless of success or failure.

In response to this statement, Mo Fan and his companions were simply polite and did not take it to heart.

The ship docked, and Mo Fan and the others followed Lan Quan and jumped in. As for the supplies on the ship, they would be unloaded by special crew members.

Lan Quan had a brief conversation with the soldiers stationed on the island, and Mo Fan and his three companions were allowed to pass. Lan Kexin was not a big deal, as she was the princess of the Blue Sea Empire and had never been here before. Mo Fan and his three companions were purely foreigners. If it weren't for Lan Quan's guarantee, it would have been difficult for them to even get close.

The four of them left the outpost where they landed and headed towards the interior of the island.

The island was a crescent-shaped island, and the place where the group landed was in the middle area outside the crescent. Lan Quan led Mo Fan and the other three to the inner side of the crescent. In the waters surrounded by the crescent, there were soldiers stationed by the sea tribe.

"They are immersed in water. Once attacked, they can rush out of this Crescent Bay at the fastest speed and pass the message back."

"Don't they have magic tools or teleportation scrolls or something like that?"

"They do have magic tools, and their level is much higher than ours. It can be said that if they didn't want to go to land, we would not be their opponent at all..."

At this point, Lan Quan smiled helplessly. Mo Fan was a little confused. Researching magic tools underwater? And the level was higher than that of the Blue Sea Empire?

Now on the continent, the unification of the human empire is mainly based on levels, supplemented by magic tools. The elves and demons will study magic tools, but their main focus is still on other things, such as the spells of the demon high priest. The elves also have corresponding mysterious powers, which come from the world tree they believe in.

The goblins, on the other hand, are completely technologically advanced, that is, they specialize in the study of magic tools.

In terms of the level of magic tools alone, the goblins are undoubtedly first, followed by the Human Empire, and finally the elves and demons.

Now Lanquan said that the level of magic tools of the sea tribe is much higher than theirs, and they are no match for them in a fight. You know, the goblins signed a peace treaty with humans a long time ago, and the relationship between the two sides has gone a step further and they have become friends.

The rapid development of the level of magic tools in the Human Empire is inseparable from the friendly relations with the goblins.

Apart from the powerful magic tools hidden by the goblins, it can be said that the level of magic tools of humans is not much weaker than that of goblins. After all, humans have a larger territory, more people, and more abundant resources.

In this situation, I still can't win. Could it be...
