Chapter 157: White Harbor
If Celia were to be judged by one word, Heath would choose: Green.
Having never been in this field before, she was rather clumsy. She didn’t know how to grind, how to kiss, or how to entangle… Her experience in this field was practically a blank.
But that was the most alluring thing about her.
A casual touch could make her whole body tense, a little teasing could make her overrun, and her whole body was tense when he entered. The enjoyment after entering the state and the deliberately repressed breath… All of these aroused the man’s desire to conquer.
The physical touch may not be the best, but the psychological pleasure was irreplaceable…
…
Two months later, the largest harbor on the West Coast was the forgotten sea, White Harbor, at dusk.
After two months of traveling, Heath finally arrived at the harbor. After looking at the sky, he decided to rest here for the night and set off the next morning.
“This harbor is quite beautiful.”
Looking around, he saw the white stone-paved road, the cla.s.sical style of small buildings, the wide and s.p.a.cious harbor, the golden beach, rows of sailboats, the tall lighthouses…
At this moment, it was dusk. The orange light shone on the sea, turning it into a golden yellow. Some of the pubs on the street were already open for business, and the noise could be heard from time to time under the dim lights.
The salty and wet sea breeze blew against them, bringing with it a slightly fishy smell.
It was quiet and peaceful.
White Harbor was separated from the forest by a distance, and there was a very steep mountain range in the middle. Because of this, this place was not affected by the flames of war, and everything was still peaceful.
After strolling around for a while, Heath walked into a tavern by the roadside.
“Praise the Sea G.o.d, let me survive the storm safely…”
“I swear, that girl was lying by the side of the boat at that time. She was the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, below her waist was a fish…”
Heath walked to the bar counter, took out a gold coin, and put it on the table.
He said, “Get me some food and prepare the best room here. I need hot water.”
Although the reason for returning to the Forgotten Land this time was because of the protection of the magic array, Heath himself had thought about going back a long time ago.
As his first home after transmigrating, Heath had some feelings for the Aike Continent. When he was there, he did not feel much, but after he came out, he missed it for some reason.
He wasn’t homesick. After all, he wasn’t from here. He was probably just nostalgic.
Other than that, he had been either trying to level up or on the way. Now that he had finally advanced to become a Wizard, he wanted to catch his breath.
Because of that, Heath was very relaxed when he came out this time.
Along the way, he had been traveling and playing. Other than his daily training, he didn’t do any extra homework. He put all his attention into relaxing.
“Praise the gold coins. The Seaside Cottage has everything you want!”
The tavern owner took the gold coins and quickly sent Heath a bunch of coconut wine and a portion of caviar. This was a kind of fruit wine unique to the seaside. It was made from a fruit called Red Coconut. It was more of a fruit wine, it had a coconut-like sweetness to it.
While drinking the fruit wine, eating caviar, and listening to the chatter in the tavern, Heath was enjoying the exotic atmosphere of the Middle Ages to his heart’s content.
At this moment, the topics discussed by the two tables of diners beside him aroused his curiosity.
“A woman’s upper body and a fish’s lower body. Could it be… could it be the legendary Mermaid?”
“Yes, a Mermaid. That’s definitely a Mermaid!”
“Mermaid? That hasn’t appeared for many years. Could the disappearance of the Eros have something to do with them…”
“There are rumors that even the legendary Wizards have come here to look for the gold treasure…”
Heath raised his eyebrows and asked the tavern owner, “What are they talking about?”
The tavern owner looked over and turned around. “You mean that? What else could it be? It’s just the most popular treasure in White Harbor, the gold treasure.”
“Gold treasure?” Heath asked.
The tavern owner nodded and explained in detail, “There’s a war at the edge of the forest. The king of the Valin Dukedom was beheaded.”
“It is said that their princess ran out and took away a lot of gold and treasures. She escaped from the pursuit and escaped to the sea with her people. It is said that the gold and treasures were filled with a huge sailboat with five masts.”
“Unfortunately, they encountered a storm.”
“Now everyone is looking for this sailboat. It is said that even Wizards are tempted by the wealth and Mermaids swim out of the sea for them.”
“Every morning, you can see groups of treasure hunters setting off on boats to look for this batch of treasures.”
After a pause, the tavern owner asked, “What do you think, friend? Are you interested? If you need, I can introduce you to an outstanding team.”
Heath shook his head. “Thank you, but I don’t need it.”
Treasure hunting was very fun, but the prerequisite was that the treasures had to be valuable. However, from Heath’s point of view, these things were worthless to him, and he did not think that Wizards would go through so much trouble for gold or anything else.
But the Mermaids, Heath was more interested.
Mermaids were extraordinary creatures that lived in the sea. They were a sub-intelligent species, and were a group of the seafolk, one of the nine great races in the Wizard World.
It was said that they had very good voices. They often sang beautiful songs in the sea covered with reefs, attracting pa.s.sing sailboats to hit the reefs. When the sailors came down to repair the boats, they would sweep the sailors into the sea, or they would attack the sailboats directly.
If there were women on the boats, they would eat them directly. If there were men, they would be taken into the deep sea to mate.
Mermaids were all women and needed the help of other groups of males to reproduce. Among them, humans were their favorite mating partners. It was rumored that the reason why they were half-human was because of this.
Of course, after they successfully got pregnant, they would eat the men or raise them as nutrients to give birth to their babies.
To many Wizards, Mermaids were of high research value. Some Wizards liked to cook them because the flesh of Mermaids had a high vitality, and eating them would help increase their vitality…
Clang!
At this moment, a dull sound came from outside the door.
The door of the tavern was pushed open from the outside.
Then, a few people walked in from outside the room. They were wearing green-gray leather armor and had a cross sword at their waist. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.
The leader of the group was a strange-looking man. He was wrapped in a thick cloak and wore a leather mask on his face. His entire head was covered by a large hood, but a bald head could still be vaguely seen under the hood.
Heath was stunned when he saw the man.
This man was none other than the Dark Wizard he had seen in the forest.
The group walked straight towards the bar counter after entering.
Heath was sitting in front of the bar counter, blocking their path. One of the men did not waste any time and pushed towards him as if he wanted to push him aside.
It could be seen that this man had some skills. He was not weaker than an official Knight. If it was an ordinary person, he would have been pushed to the ground. However, it was nothing to Heath.
He raised the oak cup to block the man’s hand.
The man was stunned. He did not expect his hand to be blocked.
Then, he said in a very domineering manner, “Get lost!”
Heath glanced at him and did not say any nonsense. He put down the oak cup and left the chair, then lifted his leg and kicked.
This kick was as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning. The Knight’s expression changed abruptly, and he hurriedly wanted to parry.
However, it was impossible for him to block Heath’s strength. Just as he reacted, Heath’s whip kick had already landed on his chest.
With a dull thud, the Knight was sent flying and smashed onto the ceiling. He then fell heavily to the ground. The Knight kneeled on the ground and clutched his chest, unable to recover for a long time.
The Knights who were accompanying him were stunned at first, but they quickly reacted:
Clang! Clang!
A cold metallic sound interweaved.
Several crossguard swords were pulled out at the same time!
