The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Before the Victoria Islands were suddenly integrated, there were only a few scattered islands and reefs in the sea area where the Victoria Islands were located, located on the edge of the Grimman Islands' sphere of influence.

But after the Victoria Islands were integrated, both in terms of island and reef area and population, they were already among the top five in the Grimman Islands, at least they were not a small force in the Grimman Islands' sea area.

Unlike the distribution of forces on the mainland of the wizard world, the main continent may be the concentrated area of ​​major forces. Although the Grimman Islands are also a major force, the region is remote. If Grimman had not been promoted to level four, the status of a major force might not have been maintained.

But the underwater world is different. The sea area south of the continental shelf is the main activity area of ​​the ocean wizards, and the Grimman Islands within the range are actually one of the main forces they deal with.

The gathering place of the mermaid tribe, a distant branch of the ocean royal family, is located on the edge of the Grimman Islands, which just overlaps with the area where the Victoria Islands are located.

Perhaps due to the long life span of wizards and the fact that some marine creatures are immortal, they did not take a mere archipelago force that had just been integrated into the world for more than a hundred years seriously, and there had been no official channels of communication.

The wizard world has been developing for countless years and has integrated many tiny worlds. The Victoria Islands are neither the first nor the last. There is nothing special about them, so they naturally will not attract the attention of marine wizards.

In the past, the mermaid tribe rarely lost its members. Some members of the tribe yearned for the world on the sea, and sometimes lived on some islands and reefs, watching the passing ships from afar. There were also disputes and emotional entanglements with humans on the mainland, but these were very rare.

The only thing that the mermaid tribe hated most was the loss of their members and being lured. Under their attack, no pirates or other professional forces dared to attack their members in the sea area where they were for many years.

But what they didn't expect was that in just three months, their mermaid tribe lost five members. In order to protect the members, they had also strictly prohibited the members from appearing on the sea, but there were always members who didn't obey. Two more members disappeared last month.

Fortunately, they found it in time. According to the unique life fluctuations of the members, they found the suspicious ship. After they appeared, the other party swore that they were from the Victoria Islands Law Enforcement Team. How could they break the law and engage in such a thing of trapping members of friendly forces?

As a result, when they were asked to open the cabin to check, they were rejected by the other party. What a joke, it has always been the law enforcement team that checks others. When will it be the turn of others to check the law enforcement team?

The consequences of refusal are serious. There are three first-level wizards and more than 30 quasi-level and advanced marine creatures in the mermaid tribe. Naturally, it is not something that the person in charge can resist with only a quasi-level strength.

There was no need for a first-level wizard to do anything. More than 30 quasi-level and advanced marine creatures were enough for them to drink a pot. Sadly, some non-staff members of the law enforcement team were forced to participate in this matter. However, they did not report it to Bill and others in time, so they could not blame others.

After the ship was destroyed and the people died, they naturally rescued the two captured tribesmen. The mermaid tribe also severely punished them for this.

The two tribesmen also realized the horror of the outside world. Not all humans are so friendly. What love stories passed down by word of mouth can only be listened to. Without strength, they can only become others' playthings.

...

After more than half a month of investigation, Colin, Helen, Edith, and Charles, the three people and one beast, finally figured out that the ruler of this sea area is a mermaid tribe named Arni, which is said to be a distant branch of the royal family of the underwater world.

It sounds big, but Colin still wants to contact and negotiate. This is related to his "dignity" and the need to develop power in the future. He can't ignore the occurrence of shipwreck and death.

By using soul-type witchcraft, it is easy to roughly understand the general strength of this mermaid tribe from the memories of some marine creatures.

In addition to the patriarch Sophia who has the strength of level 2, some elders also have the strength of level 1, but the number is also very small, no more than ten, and other quasi-level and high-level marine warriors are not within Colin's consideration at all.

After getting this accurate news, Colin's heart was calmer. It turned out that such a small force dared to offend the authority of "Captain Colin". It seems that the conditions for negotiation need to be changed.

According to the route in the memory of marine creatures, Colin and others went deep into the seabed and began to head towards the Alni Mermaid Tribe.

There are many marine creatures along the way, from ordinary fish without wisdom to marine creatures with primary wisdom, but no matter which one, they can feel the strength of Colin and others, so they naturally hide as far as possible.

Colin and others passed all the way without obstacles until they met the patrol warriors of the Alni Mermaid Tribe.

"Who are you? This is the Arni Mermaid Tribe. Please stop." Although the patrol soldiers also felt the "power" of Colin and others, they still asked questions as part of their duties.

A team of Siren warriors, the leader is only a high-level strength, Colin naturally does not take it seriously, but he is not here to kill (mermaids and sirens).

"I am the captain of the Victoria Islands Law Enforcement Team of the Grimman Islands Security Affairs Branch. I am here to negotiate about the shipwreck and death of our law enforcement team a few days ago. You should report to your tribe leader as soon as possible." Colin directly stated the purpose of their visit.

"Please wait a moment." The leading Siren warrior did not dare to neglect. Although he did not lead Colin and his men directly into the tribe, he could still be polite. He was a little away from Colin's position and used the special conch refined in the tribe to pass on the message.

The Siren warrior's message was quickly transmitted to the Arni Mermaid Tribe. The elder in charge of security affairs quickly delivered the message to the tribe leader Sofia.

"Chief, it should be the humans on the sea who came, the so-called Victoria Islands, but the people who came this time said he was a captain."

The elders of the tribe were not sensitive to some news and were not clear about the value of Colin, the law enforcement captain, but Sofia was different. Although their mermaids were far away from the royal family, they still had the necessary channels of information.

The Alliance Conference held by the Wizard Continent not long ago was still vivid in my mind. The Security Affairs Division was one of the main agendas of the conference, and the subordinate law enforcement team was also a semi-official organization.

On my side, according to the division of responsibilities in the underwater world, I also need to set up a corresponding law enforcement team, but I haven't had time to implement it yet. I didn't expect to offend the people from the law enforcement team on the sea this time.

Sophia thought about it. Since the other party came to negotiate, there should be some talk. Besides, the other party was wrong first, so it can be justified, but you can't be too weak.

Thinking of this, Sophia personally led the remaining five elders of the tribe, except for the three elders guarding the key areas of the tribe, and swam towards the location where Colin and the others were.
