Sea Folk Civilization

Saine didn't linger long at the Half-Shark People's stall.

In addition to obtaining 100 Water-Absorbing Pearl, Saine also learned from the female Half-Shark People in front of him why she was able to see through Saine True Details.

"Master, your Element Power is well hidden, but we sea creatures can sense the differences in water molecules, the Blood Qi energy and pulse of different creatures by getting close."

"I must say, you are very strong." The female Half-Shark People glanced shyly at Saine's chest and said.

The sea creatures are in a weaker position than human Knight and Mage in the Wizard World.

Needless to say, these Half-Shark People in front of us have a different status than normal sea creatures.

For these sea creature hybrids, being able to find a Level-1 Magician or Level 1 Knight would be a pretty good outcome.

This led to the enduring presence of the sea people's slave trade on the South Coast.

After all, this is a matter of mutual consent.

Becoming a servant of a noble Level-1 Magician is indeed much easier than making a living at sea.

Saine had no sexual interest in the blue-skinned Half-Shark People.

However, he was very curious about the other party's ability to judge the Blood Qi and pulse of the creature in front of him based on the difference in water molecules.

This likely stems from the sea creatures' innate and extraordinary control over the Element Power, and perhaps from some special organ within their bodies.

Saine was increasingly looking forward to the upcoming trip to An Coast.

He really wanted to collect some marine life specimens to enrich his Collection Room.

However, Saine would certainly not make a move in Fernan Star City, nor did he intend to actively hunt down the sea creatures.

As a disciple of the Tower Master, Saine was extremely wary of the rules generally followed by the various Holy Tower Holy Tower.

Since he doesn't plan to do it himself, the numerous black markets on the South Coast should be able to satisfy Saine's purchasing Desire.

After leaving Fernan Star City, Saine flew towards a location in the southwest of the city.

According to the Magic Notebook left by the previous mentor, Moxidu, there seems to be a small black market in that area.

In reality, small black markets like this are unlikely to survive on their own.

The locations of these black markets are also worth pondering.

Almost every large human city has a small black market nearby.

This led Saine to wonder if the organizers of those black markets were connected to certain organizations in the surrounding area, or powerful Knight or Mage.

For example, in Fernan Star City, there is a Third-Level Great Magician.

Of course, such speculation cannot be casually shared.

Without evidence, this is slander.

The rules of the Holy Tower apply even to Third-Level Great Magician. →

Who knows what impulsive things some powerful Mage might do when cornered?

It's estimated that both the Holy Tower and the Knights' Hall will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

As long as things are done within the bounds of the rules and not made public or done in a way that looks bad, Holy Tower doesn't want to go to unnecessary trouble.

Having experienced the life of Black Wizard Apprentice in the Underdark, Saine never imagined the world to be too wonderful.

It is precisely for this reason that, having been promoted less than a century ago and being extremely young, he has a more profound and insightful perspective on certain things.

But this time, Saine was wrong.

Perhaps the environment on the South Coast isn't as polluted or bad as it seems.

Or perhaps the various Holy Tower in this area have begun to crack down on some illegal activities.

When he arrived at the black market address mentioned in his mentor's Magic Notebook, what appeared before Saine was a desolate, shallow beach.

Some odds and ends of seaweed grow in this area, but there's no sign of a black market, and Saine hasn't even seen a single living intelligent being.

Flying to an area Near-Sea, Saine found some black charred rocks on a sandy beach.

This is the solidified product of sand after it has burned.

It is obvious that this black market has been eliminated.

Furthermore, the erasure occurred earlier than expected, probably more than a decade ago.

Apart from these hard, solid stones that have survived, everything else about the black market has vanished with time and the turbulent sea breeze.

"To be able to wipe out an entire black market without leaving too many traces, I reckon only the Holy Tower possesses that kind of capability," Saine mused.

However, there are four Holy Tower in the vicinity, and Saine is not quite sure which Holy Tower did it.

"The Dawn Holy Tower Holy Tower n't far from here, and it was the main force that destroyed the City of Mozhsuobula back then. Perhaps they were the ones who did it," Saine guessed.

Since he couldn't find the black market, Saine had no intention of staying any longer.

Glancing westward, Saine continued his flight...

The prosperity of the South Coast is more reflected in its convenience.

Here, it's convenient to do anything or buy any materials.

As long as you have money.

In a port city called Tizte, Saine spent a sum of Magic Coin to buy a number of low-level sea creatures.

These are a group of low-level creatures that look like crabs, have blue shells, and are accustomed to walking sideways.

The rules protecting the Holy Tower and the Knights' Hall in the Wizard World ultimately did not cover all sea creatures.

The truly protected sea creature groups are actually those advanced sea creatures that possess considerable wisdom and have developed a certain level of civilization.

This primitive marine creature, known as the Cyan Oyster Crab, is like a "savage" among sea creatures. They live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and their intelligence is only about the same as that of a human child.

Let alone human Knight and Mage living on land, even the sea creatures in the ocean have little sympathy or identification with these lowly sea creatures with little intelligence.

The several half-human-sized Cyan Oyster Crab that Saine bought were actually purchased from a Jellyfish Person.

In addition to these Cyan Oyster Crab, he even bought a Violet Tí Sea Serpent Person that looked similar to a human but was three meters long.

The Violet Tí Sea Serpent Person possess intelligence comparable to that of humans and are considered a sea race protected by the rules of the Holy Tower.

The sea serpent that Saine bought was a sinner who had violated the forbidden laws of the sea race.

According to the Sea Folk Codex, it can be bought and sold by the Sea Clan, and it is not sold through black market channels.

The sea creatures also have relatively sound laws, and based on Saine conversation with the Jellyfish Person, he learned that there are many Sea King Hall deep in the sea, maintaining order in the ocean.

The Sea King Hall plays a role in the ocean of the Wizard World equivalent to that of the Holy Tower and the Knights' Hall.

It was also from that Jellyfish Person that Saine learned that there were many ocean kingdoms in the depths of the ocean in the Wizard World.

The powerful sea creatures also established their own kingdoms and civilizations.

Not all marine life lives in a primitive tribal way.

Even in the deepest parts of the ocean, there stand magnificent and luxurious Underwater Crystal Palace.

In terms of wealth, some sea creatures are not necessarily inferior to the Holy Tower and Knights' Hall on land.
