The Naga slowly approached on their Ocean Mounts. Only when they drew close did they present what they held in their arms to Xiluo and the others.
Inside the wooden crates lay a great many azure conches.
Their shells bore many beautiful patterns.
These were Immortal Dwelling Conches!
Xiluo looked slightly surprised.
How did these fellows know he needed the conch stones inside Immortal Dwelling Conches?
Was it a coincidence? Or...
Xiluo looked at the merfolk with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"These are all Immortal Dwelling Conches, a particularly fine delicacy from the ocean.
I believe you should enjoy eating them too.
Also.
The conch stones inside are excellent magical materials. After eating the conches, you can sell them for quite a few gold coins.
Please accept them as our thanks for saving our people.
I imagine the matter of Eternal Love won't spoil our relations. Wouldn't you agree, Lord Dragon?"
The mermaid spoke very politely.
It seemed to be a coincidence.
Xiluo nodded. Judging by the size of these Immortal Dwelling Conches, he estimated that the conch stones inside should be worth at least 700-1,000 gold coins.
For him at present, that wasn't a great deal of money, but neither was it a small amount.
More importantly, the information she had revealed stirred something in Xiluo's mind, and he couldn't help saying:
"Immortal Dwelling Conches are certainly a fine delicacy, but I prefer the conch stones inside. Ladies, might your people have any conch stones in stock?"
"Conch stones? We certainly do."
The mermaid nodded slightly.
"Since we're rather fond of delicacies like Immortal Dwelling Conches, we've accumulated quite a stock of conch stones.
We haven't traded much with human merchants recently, either.
If you want them, Lord Xiluo, we can sell them to you at
