Taking a Loss
In addition to the four Sea Lizard Egg, other Sea Lizardmen soon delivered some strange undersea specialties.
The Sea Lizardmen tribe is really poor, although Saine is curious and wants to collect some underwater creatures as specimens.
But from a value perspective, the seaweed, oysters, shells and even seabed rocks sent by Sea Lizardmen have no attraction at all to Saine.
After frowning and examining them for a long time, Saine packed these "tatters" into Space Ring regardless of whether they were useful or not, and gave these Sea Lizardmen a high price for three Magic Coin.
A pile of junk, plus four Sea Lizard Egg, for a total of seven Magic Coin, which is enough to show the generosity of Saine.
These seven Magic Coin may not be able to solve the crisis that Sea Lizardmen encountered this year, but they can at least improve the way their tribe lives.
Before leaving this trench, Saine noticed some weak Sea Lizardmen who were obviously injured. With the help of other Sea Lizardmen, they left the trench one after another and dived towards the dark and oppressive west of the ocean.
"Where are they going?" Although he had some guesses in his mind, Saine still asked Sea Lizardman Elder beside him.
"The tribe's food is not enough to supply them, so they will go to Gloomy Canyon to forage and survive this harsh winter."
"If they can return to the tribe alive when the first warm wave comes next year, they will still be the warriors of the tribe." Sea Lizardman Elder said in a deep voice.
Sea Lizardman Elder's words made Saine remain silent.
These Sea Lizardmen who left the tribe were all adult Sea Lizardmen who were injured in the previous battle, and there were almost two thousand in number. →
Of these two thousand Sea Lizardmen, how many of them will come back alive next year is probably not very optimistic.
Otherwise, those ordinary Sea Lizardmens with low intelligence would not show pain and reluctance in their eyes when sending each other off.
The rise and fall of the Sea Lizardmen tribe has nothing to do with Saine.
His heart is hard and cold enough. Just imagine that if Saine was not strong enough, he would have been divided up by this group of poor and ragged Sea Lizardmen.
The previous conflict between the Sea Lizardmen tribe and Cook and others can also be seen as the Sea Lizardmen tribe using this method to eliminate those tribesmen with poor physical fitness and weak strength.
Those who survived were basically young and middle-aged elites.
And there are more than two thousand injured Sea Lizardmen. If anyone can come back from Gloomy Canyon next year, it must be the best among the best.
The Sea Lizardman Elder in front of us, and the Sea Lizardman Chieftain who had great hatred and hostility towards Saine, were both warriors who came back from Gloomy Canyon back then. Saine also whispered "Gloomy Canyon". He seemed to be very interested in this strange ocean place name.
Sea Lizardman Elder next to him is also a man, or he hopes that his descendants will live a better life in the hands of Saine.
Later, it was seen that it pulled out a crescent-shaped black iron piece from its off-white coral crutch. Saine really didn't realize that Sea Lizardman Elder's crutch actually had a certain space storage function.
This is not Wizard World's traditional alchemy process. After staring at the crutch for a long time, Saine noticed some rough undersea runes.
I don't know how many thousands of years ago, Wizard World's sea tribe once created a splendid civilization.
Perhaps at that time, it was not Knight and Mage that occupied the dominant position of Wizard World.
After all, Wizard World, the territory of the ocean is actually larger than that of the land.
Over the course of countless thousands of years, the ocean has also undergone some subtle changes.
Sea Lizardman Elder's crutch did not attract too much attention from Saine. From the perspective of an alchemist, Saine judged that the production process of the coral crutch was very rough and simple.
With the same materials, Saine should do better.
"What is this?" Saine looked at the piece of iron handed to him by Sea Lizardman Elder. From the piece of pitch-black iron, Saine felt a chill that made him uncomfortable but somewhat familiar.
"This is what I gained when I was wandering Gloomy Canyon 500 years ago. This thing should be useful to you. Don't you Mage like these weird things?" Sea Lizardman Elder replied.
After looking through the crescent iron pieces for a long time, Saine showed a smile and said, "It seems that what I exchanged for the three Magic Coin are not all junk. This is indeed a magic material I have never seen before."
"Gloomy Canyon is the junction area between our tribe and the other three surrounding ocean tribes. It is where the Sea Wraiths people gather, and it is also the resting place of the spirits of our ancestors."
"There are actually a lot of good things there, but there are very few creatures that can be brought out alive." Sea Lizardman Elder said.
Sea Lizardman Elder's answer made Saine finally know where the familiarity this iron piece gave him came from.
According to the Magic Books record of Azure Source Holy Tower, Sea Wraiths is an undead creature that appears in the Wizard World ocean, mostly in the form of souls.
The soul body and Soul Magic of Wizard World are inextricably linked.
It is said that the original form of Soul Magic was obtained by the ancestors Mage by studying the soul bodies formed in natural or unnatural states.
Saine exchanged a large amount of Arcane Points for "Mirach Soul Codex", which has been introduced in this regard.
There is a book "Mirach Soul Codex", coupled with good alchemy ability, this crescent-shaped iron piece still has a certain effect on Saine.
After putting away the iron piece, Saine flew towards the sea level without looking at the Sea Lizardmen tribe behind him.
When Saine returned to the slightly dilapidated Alchemy Powered Ship, Cook and others had almost rested and recovered.
Cook and others had very mixed feelings about Thain daring to go deep into the ocean and make trade contacts with the sea lizards who had just fought a battle.
At least they think this cold-tempered Black Robe Magician is very courageous.
"Thank you very much for your help in the previous battle. I, Cook, am a very capable Knight. This time, everyone's shipping fee is free!" Cook said to everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Cook returned Saine, five Magic Coin, and all other boarding fees for Knight and Mage.
However, there were a few lowly magic apprentices on the ship who did not take action from beginning to end and just hid in the cabin and watched the battle.
Therefore, for these passengers, Cook did not refund their fares.
After paying everyone back their shipping fees, Goatee Old Man walked up to Cook and whispered something.
Immediately afterwards, Cook cursed in a low voice, "These damn Sea Lizardmen!"
Cook Black Ship, not all of the income from this trip to sea comes from the shipping fee, nearly half of it comes from something at the bottom of the cabin.
In the melee not long ago, the broken ship of Cook was even more broken under the impact of Sea Lizardmen.
This resulted in the loss of some "things" at the bottom of the cabin.
After counting, Cook did not know whether the income earned from this overseas trip was enough to recover his own costs.
After all, to move such a Alchemy Powered Ship, Level-1 Energy Crystal is also needed as the main energy source.
I hope he won't lose money. This is also the risk he must bear when walking Gray Area.
It's been a long time since I've coded at night. I coded two chapters today. I'm sorry that the updates are unstable due to my family's problems.
Little Bean will try its best to maintain stable updates and hope that this storm will pass as soon as possible.
