Chapter 575: Deep Blue Empire (1/2)

The West Sea City’s City Lord’s birthday banquet, it was the city’s greatest celebration and the most important holiday!

Every West Sea City citizen and outsider were all wearing extravagant clothes with their own race’s style to it.Large amounts of delicacies were being brought into the harbour by boats while colourful fireworks lit up the sky.The crystal lamps were like flowers blooming in the city, as the sounds of singing and the scent of fragrant meat drifted through the city.

The City Lord’s five hundredth birthday was much more important than any previous year.

West Sea City was not as rich as Dragon City because West Sea City had only been built for a few hundred years.The Dragon Lord Death Wing Nidhogg was an ancient dragon who had lived over ten thousand years, this accumulated time was not easy to surpass.However, West Sea City’s liveliness did not lose to any city of the Forest of Chaos. The giant harbour was a trade center of the Western Sea, allowing various countries to trade through it, so the turnover each day was a shocking number.

West Sea City progressed with each day and just based on the trade ships, they could become the most prosperous area in the region.In the future, it wasn’t impossible to surpass the accumulated wealth of Dragon City. It was because of West Sea City’s developed trade routes that when West Sea City’s City Lord was holding a celebration banquet, various sides came to offer expensive gifts.

This annual banquet in West Sea City became an important moment in creating relations.

Old Mo brought Chu Tian into West Sea City’s magnificent Merpeople Palace.Chu Tian already knew that the controlling power in West Sea City were the Merpeople, which was a rare Sea Race and a mysterious race.In the age Chu Tian lived in, the Merpeople had already gone extinct.

The banquet officially began.

The hall in the Merpeople Palace could hold several thousand people and the guests were separated based on their rank.Old Mo was just a well known merchant, so he was considered one of the lowest ranking people and was seated at the most remote area.

“The City Lord is here!”

The conch bugles sounded out loud and clear!

Several dozen beautiful mermaid servants came out in two rows.The audience heard the sound of a wave and it was like being on an island while being surrounded by giant waves that could submerge the island at any moment.

Everyone knew that these weren’t real waves, but rather the aura released by an expert who was at least in the 6th Heaven Domain Layer.This expert would be considered an expert even placed on the continent and the entire West Sea City only had one of those, the City Lord.

But what surprised everyone was that behind the powerful aura, it was actually short and wrinkledold lady with greying hair.

“It can’t be, this is West Sea City’s City Lord?”Chu Tian saw the wrinkled old lady with greying hair and called out in a surprised voice, “Wasn’t the legendary West Sea City’s City Lord a beautiful mermaid?Why is it this old lady!”

“You, you, you…..”Old Mo almost fainted in fear.He quickly looked around before saying to Chu Tian, “Do you not want to live?”

Chu Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, “What are you afraid of?She can’t hear anyway!”

Old Mo suddenly regretted bringing this fellow in, “How high of a position does the West Sea City’s City Lord have?Can you confirm that she can’t hear us?”

“I’m afraid sir City Lord is on the verge of death.”

“What nonsense are you saying?”

Chu Tian’s eyes focused and didn’t have any taunting look at all, “The Merpeople have long lives, with normal Merpeople living around four-five hundred years and Heaven Domain Expert’s having double that time.Merpeople look young most of their lives and only when their lives reach the end will they quickly age. The City Lord is only five hundred years old and looks this old, it’s most likely she was injured and is now spending most of her energy suppressing those injuries.How could she have the mind to listen to what we are speaking?”

“Nonsense, don’t speak nonsense!”Old Mo’s nose was almost crooked from his rage, “Don’t care about this!If you keep acting like this, I’ll drive you out!”

“Alright, alright, I understand!”Chu Tian rolled his eyes, knowing it was hard to convince him.Since father is here, you still want to chase me out? So he said in a discourteous voice, “An old man like you is really wordy!”

The old City Lord slowly sat down and the banquet officially began.

“The Dragon Hawk Chamber of Commerce sends five hundred Five Coloured Star Drills, wishing the West Sea City’s City Lord well wishes!”

“The Great Origin Country Chamber of Commerce sends ten dragon pelts, wishing the West Sea City’s City Lord well wishes!”

“……”

The various guests offered their expensive gifts and all manner of dazzling gifts piled in the main hall.There were several Immortal Grade items in there and even with Old Mo’s hard to find item, it would only be considered a middle grade gift.

But even so, people were still amazed by Old Mo.

To be to give a level three Half Step Immortal Herb, this was not something any merchant could do.It depended on great strength and great chance.

Old Mo was filled with excitement.To attract the attention of these people was very important to him.This banquet was not just about showing off, it was also important to meet people that he normally couldn’t meet.A merchant’s business increased proportionally with their connections.
