The Giant Kelp Forest stretched out in a long strip, covering roughly 36,000 mu in total. The western end of this strip lay close to the sea, while the eastern end extended farther inland from the coast.
The area Liszt had explored so far was all at the coastal western end, roughly one-third of the forest, or around 12,000 mu. Of that, approximately 2,500 mu was occupied by magical giant kelp. Further east, the water gradually reached depths of eighty meters. The seabed also became uneven and rugged, with some places more than a hundred meters deep.
The fish living in this part of the Giant Kelp Forest were growing larger and larger, and fierce predators such as sharks even lurked along the seabed.
Of course.
Even underwater, where Liszt could not wield his battle qi as nimbly, he could still easily kill fierce sharks—let alone with A Ke, a great water-element magician, assisting at his side.
As long as no sea monsters appeared, he would be safe on the seafloor. "The eastern region of the Giant Kelp Forest is no longer suitable for marine farming. The water is too deep, there are sharks, and it's extremely dangerous for ordinary fishermen to come here and harvest giant kelp... Even if battle qi becomes widespread throughout the territory and ordinary fishermen might possess it in the future, it would still be dangerous."
A knight's territory was the land and the sky.
The sea lay beyond that domain.
Even water-element knights were constrained in the sea, and a single misstep could drown them. It was not only knights; magicians, too, could not conquer the sea. Human flesh and blood were inherently ill-suited to moving underwater. Whether one cultivated into a dragon knight or an archmage, once they entered the water, they would
