Chapter 189: Chapter 148: The Arrival of the Sea Clan
"Boss! Boss? Are you listening to me?" Wesley waved his hand in front of Long Yi.
"Huh? What? I was just lost in my thoughts for a moment." Long Yi apologized with a sheepish grin.
"No problem, no problem, there’s nothing to apologize for between us brothers. I was just saying, I heard that the Sea Emperor came, not just for a visit, but also brought some sea clansmen as exchange students. They hope to enhance their understanding and mutual trust with humans through studying at the Dragon Knight Academy. I heard that this matter was discussed and finally confirmed with our Emperor before the New Year." Wesley said. Although he kept saying ’I heard’, judging from Wesley’s grasp of the information, these rumors are likely to be true.
"That’s a good thing, after all having a good relationship with the sea clan is all gain and no loss for our White Dragon Empire." Long Yi said. According to Long Yi’s understanding of geopolitics in his previous life, the more exchanges the better, and the mutual trust between countries should first start from the people. Like the hostility between White Dragon Empire and the Black Dragon Empire, it could only end through a major war.
"Yes, of course, it’s a good thing. My family has always been discussing how to use this opportunity to make a fortune!" Wesley said excitedly.
"Why so excited?" Long Yi asked.
"Of course, I’m excited! Do you think those sea clansmen use toothbrushes?" Wesley asked.
"You still remember about that toothbrush?" Long Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Joking? Don’t you know? Now from the imperial city to the common folk, whose toothbrush wasn’t sold by us? Whose toothpaste isn’t made by us?" Wesley immediately looked triumphant.
"Did I sell it at a loss the first time?" Long Yi asked.
"Loss... definitely a loss... and a big one at that. I was too naive to realize that this item could be so popular, and the speed at which it spread and the scale of its reach were so great." Wesley immediately deflated.
"No worries, there’s always time. This item can still be improved; we can always sell it several times in the future." Long Yi said with a smile.
"The Dean is here!" someone shouted from the crowd.
"Also the Emperor! His Majesty is here too! The legion commanders, generals, and ministers are all present!"
"This has got to be the highest welcoming standard!"
"This is the Sea Emperor’s first friendly visit to land! This is also the first time in the history of the land and sea! If it’s done well, it’s absolutely a historic occasion! Just think about it! We’re all witnesses to the first friendly exchange between the land and the sea!"
The emperor’s guards cleared a spacious path through the crowd as if driving fish. The crowd was completely divided in two. The well-dressed guards stood in front of the students, instantly, an imposing aura silenced all the chattering students.
"How does the Sea Emperor come over? Does he trigger a huge tsunami to wash them over?" Long Yi asked Wesley quietly.
"Impossible! We’re quite far from the coast here. They must be going to teleport over!" Wesley whispered.
"Won’t they dry out and die without water?" Ai Lin also quietly asked on the side.
"If time is short, no. The sea clan has a mysterious magic that allows sea clan warriors to move freely on land. Of course, I’m not sure about the time limit." Wesley said.
"It’s starting!" A chef whispered, and all the surrounding noise instantly disappeared.
The Dean, who looked like Gandalf, stood by the giant dragon at the entrance of the academy, raising his hand high. A dazzling golden light radiated from his bracelet, and the golden dragon statue at the gate shot out a golden light from its eyes, striking the ground in front of the academy gate. Instantly, a huge light gate appeared in mid-air, and behind the light gate was a dazzling starry sky!
This is the teleportation gate, a mysterious magic that can instantly teleport any object to any corner. How these teleportation gates were built is now lost in history. Now, all the functional teleportation gates are relics from ancient times. Legend has it that long, long ago, there was an extremely powerful civilization in this world, but for some unknown reason, that civilization disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the traces of that civilization are scant. Only occasionally can traces of that civilization be found, and every time such relics are discovered, the countries do their best to excavate them. It is likely that these ancient relics hide advanced technology that people have not yet mastered.
Unfortunately, so far, almost nothing has been gained.
A scent of seawater came from behind the gate, followed by the loud sound of a conch!
"Presenting the Sea Emperor!"
The host Emperor announced.
The star gate vibrated, a huge jellyfish slowly floated out from the gate, instantly moistening the air around. Then, two squads of heavily armored giant crab warriors walked out from the gate.
These giant crab warriors were over two meters tall, their sturdy shells shone with a metallic luster, they supported their bodies with eight legs, and their huge claws were almost as high as their bodies. With their every step, the two heavy claws alternated pounding on the ground; everyone around feeling the rhythmic vibrations under their feet!
