Chapter 786 Tide Empire

Chapter 786 Tide Empire

There was only silence that followed after Viper said this.

I could see the brows of the fourth prince beside me knitting as he stared at Viper, but I could understand why he was acting this way.

It was completely because of what Viper had just said.

The Tide Empire that he mentioned was just that meaningful.

There were many kingdoms on the continent, but there were only a total of four empires that were out there. The reason for that was because there were only four countries that had the power to be named empires.

The other kingdoms only survived because the empires didn't invade them.

That was because the four empires kept each other in check.

But if they were to attack one or two kingdoms, it wasn't as if the other empires would care.

Which was why this was a problem.

If Viper really was related to the Tide Empire, then it would be troublesome.

The Tide Empire was one of the four empires and the only one that was located near the coast.

That was because as the name of the empire implied, they were an empire that relied on the power of the tides. It was said that the special forces of the Tide Empire had the capability to breathe underwater, which was how they were able to sneak into the territory of their enemies and attack from behind.

After all, rivers were the lifeblood of any kingdom and it was impossible for a kingdom not to have any rivers.

Kingdoms relied on rivers not just as a source of water for farming, but also as a valuable method of transportation.

So any kingdom would be filled with rivers that could be taken advantage of by the special forces of the Tide Empire.

In addition to this, the Tide Empire was a major source of transportation since they had the power to control water as well.

They had the blood of the merfolk in them.

It wasn't that the mermaid had cheated on the human, but rather they had many children who went off on their own paths. As such, the merfolk blood was spread all over the area of the Tide Empire, so that the merfolk blood could even be found in the common people.

Of course, those that went off were struck from the records of the royal family.

So even if they were very distantly related, the commoners that had merfolk blood were still regarded as commoners.

Like this, an entire empire filled with those that had the merfolk blood was born.

Since they had the merfolk blood in them, the royals of the Merman Empire were willing to form a connection with the Tide Empire.

This made them the only connection on land to the Merman Empire.

As such, one had to learn about the Tide Empire if they wanted to complete the mermaid quest line.

But even for me who knew all those things about the Tide Empire, I had never heard of a quest like this.

He could be lying, but there was also the chance that he might be telling the truth.

He could just be a commoner that was struck from the records of the royal family, or...he might actually be related to the royal family. It was hard to tell since it was impossible to access the records of the Tide Empire's royal family.

Or at least, we weren't allowed to access it even if we had the power of the Kite Kingdom behind us.

The fourth prince looked at me as if he was asking for my opinion, but all I could do was shake my head and say, "I don't know. I really don't know anything about this."

After all, I had never heard of this person in the side quest to expose the Yuletide Family.

This was one of the downsides of bringing knowledge from the game to this world.

The game didn't go deeply into these things since it wouldn't be fun for the players, so they solved all of this for the players.

The players would never have to think about the consequences of their actions...
