A slightly damaged small passenger ship docked at the pier, and passengers descended from the ship one by one, while on the other side, people were continuously unloading some goods.
"Thank you very much, Master Magician, for your help. This is a small token of appreciation from me. Please accept it!" The thin old catfish man respectfully handed a small pouch to Bexia, which contained some coins, not a large amount.
"No need, it was just a casual thing, and I have already received the payment!" Bexia waved his hand to refuse the old catfish man, then turned and walked towards the crowd, waving goodbye to them.
The city in this other world was not much different from Godsend Continent, except that survival here was not limited to just humans, but various other races existed. The most common were the beast-like or fish-like merfolk, and occasionally other races could be seen, but Bexia couldn't recognize them.
After saving the people on the previous ship, Bexia inquired about a lot of information about this world. Compared to Bexia's speculation, he completely underestimated the level of power in this world, or rather, what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
But the people on the ship were all ordinary... oh! No, to be more precise, the ordinary merfolk had limited knowledge. Apart from being able to navigate and transport living passengers, they didn't care about anything else. Therefore, Bexia didn't have much information about them.
But it was lucky that masked giant turtle helped Bexia. He told Bexia that he could go to the mercenary guild in this city to gather information, where it would be easy to obtain the information he wanted.
This city was called "Coastal City," a simple and straightforward name. The mercenary guild in this city was similar to the adventurer guild, but it was relatively more chaotic. There were no restraints here. The guild only issued missions and didn't care how mercenaries completed them. They only cared about the results. Even if you intercepted someone else's mission item right in front of the guild, they would still process it for you.
So, the order here was extremely poor, and as a result, fights and brawls could be seen on the streets. Some patrolling soldiers turned a blind eye to it, and even they themselves were oppressing others.
"This place is really chaotic!" Bexia frowned as he watched a soldier kick over a stall selling some fruits he had never seen before. The middle-aged man selling the fruits didn't dare to resist and could only kneel on the ground trembling, begging for mercy. Clearly, he had done nothing wrong, except that the buyer didn't like the taste of his fruit after taking a bite.
"The law of the jungle, Master, you should understand it. It's just that it is more prominent here compared to Godsend Continent!" Christine said as she hugged Bexia's arm.
"It's just that it doesn't sit well with me!"
"Shall we go help him then?"
"Forget it, let's not cause trouble as soon as we arrive here!" Bexia wasn't a savior either. He knew his abilities were limited, and the only people he could care about were those around him.
But things were never that simple, and some troubles couldn't be avoided just by wanting to avoid them.
"Hey! This little girl is really pretty!" a soldier with fish fins on his ears whistled and looked at Christine with lascivious eyes.
"I suspect you may be carrying prohibited items, and now we have to search you!" the cunning half-fish soldier, born from the union of merfolk and humans, said. Bexia frowned at this scene. In his eyes, this was simply asking for trouble.
"I am a member of the patrol team. If you dare to resist, be prepared to end up in prison!" The half-fishman felt Bexia's gaze and threatened, "I have done this kind of thing many times. My father is the captain of the patrol team, and ordinary people dare not provoke me. Those who end up in prison either lose their lives or get skinned alive."
"Master, this thing is disgusting!" Christine frowned, showing disgust on her face. Even just being looked at feels like an insult to her.
Bexia was also annoyed. What was Christine to him? There was no need to say more. He hadn't intended to cause trouble, but it seemed like things couldn't be resolved so easily.
"Are you sure?" Bexia's mind moved, and before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blade passed by the half-fishman's ear at lightning speed, taking off half of his fish fin and causing a large amount of brown blood to spray out.
"Ah! My fin... my fin..." The half-fishman covered his ears and rolled on the ground in pain. Others retreated when they saw this.
"High-level mage!" The other members of the patrol team turned and ran upon seeing this. They had run into a tough opponent this time. After all, high-level mages could at least be battalion captains. These people actually offended someone of that level. If they were killed, their superiors probably wouldn't even bother with them.
In this world, the strong exist outside the reach of the law. These simple laws only govern the ordinary people who are ruled over.
"So annoying!" Christine listened to the miserable screams of the half-fishman, and an invisible mental attack made him shut up. She changed her clothes, put on a smile, and continued to hold Bexia's arm and move forward. The half-fishman remained unconscious on the ground. Even if he woke up, he would likely become an idiot. After all, Christine's mental attacks were not something ordinary people could withstand.
This incident was just a small interlude for Bexia. To be honest, he couldn't be bothered to remember such trivial matters.
Just now, Christine's mental attack not only attacked, but also forcibly accessed the half-fishman's memories, which was the main reason for his severe injuries. After gaining a portion of the half-fishman's memories, Christine was extremely familiar with the place. As for the captain of the patrol team, her father, she didn't care at all. Things that could be resolved with a wave of her hand were nothing to worry about.
"Why are you so familiar with this place?" Bexia, who was being pulled by Christine, noticed that she suddenly became familiar with the situation here, and couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe! I'll pass it on to the master!" Christine hugged Bexia's neck, pressed her forehead against his, and transmitted a piece of information to him. She also gave him a kiss, which left him speechless. He looked around and realized that many people were staring at them. Was this the place to do such things?
After receiving the information transmitted by Christine, Bexia realized that he didn't need to go to the mercenary guild to gather information anymore. The general situation was already contained in the information he received.
"Crystal Sea World" is the name of this dimensional plane, and it is a hundred-thousand-level dimensional plane. The territory is at least ten times larger than the Godsend Continent. There are no nominal countries here, but they are all ruled by ten monarch-level powers. They are like great lords splitting the territories of this world. These monarchs are even more powerful than emperors and have absolute control.
Bexia also realized that the place she was in was just a Level 6 small city, which was nothing compared to the main city where the monarch resided. It was like a remote mountain valley. Therefore, she couldn't see any formidable presence here. In reality, the power level in this world was unknown, far surpassing that of the Godsend Continent. Take ten monarchs for example, their power was so overwhelming that it could crush the power of divine blessings, not to mention the large number of champions under their command.
