Chapter 384: Loss
In addition to the four sea lizard eggs, other sea lizards soon sent some strange seabed specialties.
The sea lizard tribe is really poor, although Sean is curious and wants to collect some seabed creatures as specimens.
But from the perspective of value, the seaweed, oysters, shells and even seabed rocks sent by the sea lizards have no attraction to Sean at all.
Frowning and examining for a long time, regardless of whether these things are useful or not, Sean put these "junks" into the space ring and gave these sea lizards a high price of three magic coins.
A pile of junks, plus four sea lizard eggs, a total of seven magic coins, is enough to show Sean's generosity.
These seven magic coins may not necessarily solve the crisis encountered by the sea lizards this year, but at least they can improve the way of life of their tribe.
Before leaving this trench, Sean noticed that some weak sea lizards with obvious injuries on their bodies left the trench one after another with the farewell of other sea lizards and dived towards the dark and depressing west of the ocean.
"Where are they going?" Although he had a guess in his mind, Sean still asked the elder of the sea lizards beside him.
"The tribe's food is not enough to supply them. They will go to the Yinmi Canyon to find food and spend this severe winter."
"If they can return to the tribe alive when the first warm current comes next year, they will still be warriors of the tribe." The elder of the sea lizards said in a deep voice.
The words of the elder of the sea lizards made Sean silent.
These sea lizards who left the tribe were all adult sea lizards injured in the previous battle, and there were about two thousand of them.
How many of these two thousand sea lizards can come back alive next year? This number is probably not optimistic.
Otherwise, those ordinary sea lizards with low intelligence would not show pain and reluctance in their eyes when they said goodbye.
The rise and fall of the sea lizard tribe has nothing to do with Sean.
His heart is hard and cold enough. Imagine if Sean was not strong enough, he would have been divided up by this group of poor and ragged sea lizards.
The previous conflict between the sea lizard tribe and Cook and others can also be seen as the sea lizard tribe using this method to eliminate those tribesmen with poor physique and lack of strength in the tribe.
Those who survived are basically young and strong elites.
And if any of the more than 2,000 injured sea lizards can come back from Yinmi Canyon next year, they must be the elite among the elites.
The sea lizard elder in front of him and the sea lizard chief who had great hatred and hostility towards Sean were warriors who came back from Yinmi Canyon. Sean also whispered "Yinmi Canyon". He seemed to be very interested in this unfamiliar ocean place name.
The sea lizard elder next to him was also a smart person, or he hoped that his descendants would have a better life in Sean's hands.
It was seen that it later pulled out a crescent-shaped black iron piece from its gray-white coral crutch. Sean really didn't see that the sea lizard elder's crutch actually had a certain space storage function.
This is not the traditional alchemy process of the wizard world. After staring at the cane for a long time, Sean noticed some shallow seabed runes.
Thousands of years ago, the sea people in the wizard world had created a brilliant and glorious civilization.
Perhaps at that time, it was not the knights and magicians who dominated the wizard world.
After all, the territory of the wizard world's ocean is actually larger than the land.
In the changes of thousands of years, the ocean is also undergoing some subtle changes.
The cane of the sea lizard elder did not attract Sean's attention. From the perspective of an alchemist, Sean judged that the production process of the coral cane was very rough and simple.
With the same materials, Sean should be able to do better.
"What is this?" Sean looked at the iron sheet handed by the sea lizard elder in front of him. From this black iron sheet, Sean felt a chill that made him uncomfortable but familiar.
"This is what I got when I ventured into the Yinmi Canyon 500 years ago. This thing should be useful to you. Don't you magicians like these strange things?" The elder of the sea lizard man replied.
After flipping through the crescent iron sheet for a long time, Sean smiled and said, "It seems that the three magic coins I exchanged for are not all rags. This is indeed a kind of magic material I have never seen before."
"The Yinmi Canyon is the border area between our tribe and the other three ocean tribes around it. It is where the sea ghosts gather and the resting place of the spirits of our ancestors."
"There are actually a lot of good things there, but there are only a few creatures that can be brought out alive." The elder of the sea lizard man said.
The answer of the elder of the sea lizard man made Sean finally know where the familiarity of this iron sheet came from.
According to the magic books of the Azure Source Holy Tower, the sea ghost is a kind of undead creature that appears in the ocean of the wizard world, mostly in the form of souls.
And the soul is inextricably linked to the soul magic of the wizard world.
It is said that the original form of soul magic was derived by the predecessors of magicians through studying the souls formed in natural or unnatural conditions.
The "Mirachi Soul Code" that Sean exchanged for a large amount of arcane points has been introduced in this regard.
With a copy of the "Mirachi Soul Code" and good alchemy ability, this crescent-shaped iron piece is still useful to Sean.
After putting away the iron piece, Sean flew above the sea level without looking at the sea lizard tribe behind him.
…
When Sean returned to the slightly tattered alchemical power ship, Cook and others had almost rested and recovered.
Cook and others had mixed feelings about Sean for daring to go deep into the ocean and trade with the sea lizards who had just fought a battle.
At least they felt that this cold black-robed magician was very brave.
"Thank you very much for your help in the previous battle. I, Cook, am a knight who knows what to do. This time, everyone's boat fare is free!" Cook said to everyone.
Then, Cook returned five magic coins to Sean, as well as the boarding fees of all other knights and magicians who had taken action.
However, there were several low-powered magic apprentices on the ship who did not take action from beginning to end, but just hid in the cabin to watch the battle.
Therefore, Cook did not return the boat fare for these passengers.
After returning everyone's boat fare, the old man with a goatee walked up to Cook and whispered something.
Then, Cook cursed in a low voice: "These damn sea lizards!"
The income of Cook's black ship this time did not all come from the ship fee. Nearly half of it came from something at the bottom of the cabin.
In the melee not long ago, Cook's broken ship was more broken under the impact of the sea lizards.
As a result, some "things" at the bottom of the cabin were lost.
After counting, it is not known whether the income Cook earned from this voyage is enough to recover his costs.
After all, to drive such an alchemical power ship, a first-level energy crystal is also needed as the main energy source.
I hope it will not lose money. This is also the risk he must bear when walking in the gray area.
