The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 24 The Legend of the Siren
After traveling for half a month, Yi Ze and his party finally arrived at the port city of Cannon City.

This is the largest port in the Nordic continent, and it is also a famous tourist city. From here, you can take a ship across the Mediterranean Sea, and within a month, you can reach the largest empire in southern Europe-the Mesore Empire.

Ize intends to follow the words of his master Merlin, and first go to Boxue Academy to find Dean Mary.

They rested overnight in Cannon City, and arrived at the port where they could take a boat early the next morning.

At this time, it is still cold in spring, the sea wind is strong at the port, and there are very few pedestrians.

"Your Highness, didn't everyone say that the port of Cannon City is very lively? Why are there not many people here?" Little Charlie said somewhat disappointed.

"Maybe it's too early." Ize didn't expect that the largest port in the empire would be so deserted.

Raymond looked around, frowned, and said, "Your Highness, I used to come here when I was young. It was very lively in the morning, and fishermen and merchants were trading on the pier."

Ize also felt puzzled, so he walked to an old lady who was mending fishing nets by the roadside and asked:

"Mother-in-law, good morning, do you know where there is a boat going to sea?"

The old lady saw that Ize was dressed in fancy clothes, and there were two attendants beside him. She looked like a nobleman, but she didn't have the arrogance of a nobleman. Instead, she was very polite and handsome.

"Young man, are you a foreigner?" The old lady asked with a smile.

"Yes, mother-in-law."

The old lady stopped her work and said seriously:

"No wonder, young man, let me tell you, you must not go to sea this month. Our fishermen and merchant ships are all parked there, you see."

Ize looked in the direction of the old woman's finger, and sure enough, hundreds of boats, large and small, were leaning in the bay, tied firmly to wooden stakes on the shore with ropes.

When the three of them heard the old woman's words, they became even more puzzled, and Charlie quickly asked:

"Grandma, is it because there are no fish in the sea now?"

The old woman shook her head and said:

"No, because around April every year here, when the sea monsters go out to sea, the passing merchant ships and fishing boats have to be very energetic, because none of the people who saw the true colors of the sea monsters can survive. Everyone So I dare not go to sea in April."

"Then no one in the entire pier wants to go to sea?" Ize is more concerned about this issue. It is only the beginning of April, and if he wants to go to sea next month, it will be delayed for another month.

Izzy's birthday is in December, and there are only less than eight months left for him. He doesn't want to waste a whole month because of a folklore.

Moreover, the siren, who is a huge threat to mortals, may not be able to defeat him, a five-star magician, and a five-star knight, Raymond.

Seeing that Yize still wanted to go to sea, the old woman said anxiously:

"Young man, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can just ask our local people. They all know that there is a sea monster in the sea near us. It likes to kill people very much. The prey it targets has not escaped alive. from."

Yize smiled at the old man: "Grandmother, thank you for reminding me, but I have something urgent to go to the country on the other side of the sea."

"No matter how important things are, you can't make fun of your life!" the old woman advised.

"Grandmother, the sea is so big, even if there is a sea monster, it might not be able to find us, right?" Yize said.

The old woman shook her head and said:

"It really depends on luck, but the sea monster controls the Mediterranean Sea, and the creatures in the water will also report the news. The probability is not small, and if you encounter it, it will be a disaster that will destroy your life, so you should stay in Cannon City for one more time." Month, next month it will dive back into the deep sea."

"Thank you mother-in-law, but I have to go to sea, and time is running out. Mother-in-law, do you know where I can find those captains?" Ize said.

The old woman sighed and said earnestly:
"Hey, since you must go on an adventure, then I won't advise you. If you want to find a boat to go to sea, you can come to this street at noon. By then, the shops here will be open, and many captains and crew members will come here While having lunch, you can ask them one by one."

"Okay, thank you mother-in-law, you will be lucky today." Ize deliberately left ten silver coins under the old woman's fishing net to express his gratitude.

"you are welcome."

……

At noon, the shops on the street near the port were open, and many people came to shop for lunch.

The temperament of the captain and the crew is very unique, they are in groups, loud, and strong. Those who meet these conditions can basically be determined.

Izzy saw three teams of crew members outside a restaurant, so he walked in. Charlie went to ask one table after another, but they all failed.

"Your Highness, they all said that they will never go to sea this month, it's too dangerous." Charlie said helplessly.

Yize smiled: "There are so many absolutes in this world, look at me."

After speaking, Ize took out a cloth bag containing more than 100 gold coins, walked to the middle of the restaurant, and shouted loudly:

"If there is a ship willing to go to the Mesore Empire today, this bag of gold will be his!"

The crew of the three fleets all looked over, and they were obviously moved. You know, they can earn a gold coin at most if they go to sea a few times a year.

Now this trip to the sea, without fishing, can earn more than 100 gold coins, a few people share one point, and each person has at least 20 gold coins. It can be said that this deal is simply too tempting.

But everyone is still hesitating. Although there is a lot of money, the risk factor of going to sea in April is too high.

Suddenly a man stood up in the crowd and shouted:
"I go!"

Yi Ze followed the reputation, he was short, with curly blond hair, and a wooden mask on his face, which only covered the upper part of his eyebrows and nose.

His four crew members couldn't sit still:

"Captain, now is the time for the Kraken to go to sea, it's too dangerous!"

"Yes, Captain Pinocchio, we don't want to die at sea."

"Captain, I don't want to go either!"

"Captain, think again..."

Apparently he had several crew members who didn't agree with him.

When Ize heard the name Pinocchio, he looked at the nose on his mask with great interest.

The nose is so vividly carved out of wood that it looks like the real thing.

Pinocchio seemed to have expected this ending. After all, the Kraken was too powerful in the eyes of their commoners. He said to the four crew members:

"If you don't want to go, it doesn't matter if you stay here. Anyway, I don't need to fish, and I can sail alone."

The oldest member of the crew said: "Captain Pinocchio, we know you are short of money, but you can't take your life as a joke."

Pinocchio paused, and said firmly:

"I've made a decision, you can wait for me in Cannon City. If I don't come back by the end of next month, you can find another captain."

Then he walked up to Ize, bowed slightly, and said:

"Hello three distinguished guests, can we leave at three o'clock in the afternoon?"
