Chapter 1313: Seahorse Slave
If the eyes of this wild whale were placed on the first layer of the market, they would definitely be charged an astonishing sky-high price. But in this second layer, due to the constraints of the Secret Merchant Alliance, the price of this huge eyeball is not very exaggerated.
Not only that, but the secret quotient is also clearly introduced about the usefulness of the Flood Barbarian Whale Eyeball, one is to suppress the sea monsters of the Endless Sea with their breath, which will be of some help to domesticate the sea monsters. In addition, it is used as a source of magic power for the Sanctuary-level magic crystal, but compared to the real Sanctuary-level magic crystal, the magic power here will not be automatically restored. Therefore, although the eyes of the Wild Whale looked quite shocking, few people paid attention to it, and at most they looked at the introduction and turned away.
However, Lin Li was a little interested in the eyes of this wild whale, and seeing that the price was not exaggerated, he directly took it. The eyes of this wild whale are of great use to Lin Li, and they can be used to make a powerful weapon for the Star.
Lin Li had also seen some information about the Endless Sea Flood Beasts on the Star Lodged by Gresco, including this famous Flood Whale, so he also knew some things that others might not know. Although the eyeballs of the Flood Barbarian Whale are not magic crystals, and they do not contain the innate powerful magic rules, they are still a very powerful weapon of the Flood Barbarian Whale.
It is said that the size of the Wild Whale is as large as hundreds of dragons, and it is impossible to use its body to fight other enemies with such agility. Therefore, one of the most powerful weapons of the Flood Barbarian Whale is a giant mouth that devours heaven and earth, which can suck the ancient dragon from the sky at once, and can swallow a large amount of seawater from the demonic beasts in the ocean. Another powerful weapon is its eyes, which shoot light with the power to transform everything into water, even the Elder Dragons can't match.
Of course, the secret merchant may not be unaware of this, but now it is only the eyeball of a wild whale, and it is not a living wild whale. There is no way to bring out the power of that terror.
But Lin Li was different, with the Grandmaster's peak inscription attainment, he was fully confident that he would inspire the power of the Wild Whale's Eyeball through the magic pattern. Of course, this is only an additional weapon for the Star, which is really not a great gain compared to the previous Nether Pearl and the Hunter's Blade.
With the Wild Whale's eyeball in the Ring of Infinturum, Lin Li continues to search the market for what he needs. It's a pity, in the later time. Although the things he saw could be called rare treasures, there was nothing more suitable for him.
For example, magic items from the High Elves of the Dark Ages, priest props of the Sea Clan tens of thousands of years ago, funeral goods of a certain Sea Clan Lord, and so on. These things may be really powerful, but they are much worse than the star fragments in Lin Li's hand, and even if they are bought, they will not be useful at all.
Conneris has the Permafrost Blade, Angelano has the Alchemy Colossus, and Uyfarussi has the corpse of the Frost Phoenix. Nophil has a broken Kinghunter's Blade, and there is no shortage of magic weapons in these important combat powers. Buying those things for them doesn't make them much more significant in strength. So it's just a waste.
As for the magicians of the Tower of Twilight Mage Regiment, they rely on the magic net magic array left by Gresco, and the outstanding combat power of one or several people alone will only affect the operation of the magic net magic array. The most suitable for them is the standard magic equipment designed and built by Lin Li himself, not these things with glorious legends.
Therefore, after taking a turn and buying a few things that were not of great use, Lin Li had no intention of continuing to shop.
But. Just as Lin Li was about to return, he stopped in front of the stall of a high-ranking secret merchant. There were basically no treasures on this stall, but some written materials, and a closer look revealed that it was originally a slave trader.
Lin Li is from another world where everyone is equal. But he never thought he had the ability or obligation to change the system of Anriel's world. There is a saying that existence is reasonable, and the world of Anriel is a naked world of the jungle, and if you want to completely change the system of this world, even the Immortal King may not be able to do it, let alone Lin Li.
And. In addition to the support of a large amount of wealth, manpower is also an indispensable and important condition for the development of the Tower of Dusk. Although the Tower of Dusk can also recruit a large number of people from the Light Wind Plain, there are some things that those with strength are unwilling to do, and those who don't have strength can't do it, so they can only rely on slaves. Of course, this slave does not refer to ordinary slaves, at least they must have a strength of level 10 or above, otherwise it is useless at all.
And now, the slaves who can be sold in this high-level secret merchant market are not comparable to the outside at all, otherwise the secret merchant alliance would not have arranged him here. Thinking of this, Lin Li picked up the materials on the stall and looked at them, planning to buy a batch of slaves for the Tower of Dusk to go back, after all, the transformation of Sky City still requires a lot of manpower.
The slaves in this stall, although of various races, can be divided into two kinds, one is purely for fun, basically handsome men and beautiful women or talented. The other is to attract people by strength, not to mention those above level ten, even at the legendary level. These powerful slaves were either used for gladiatorial performances, or as escorts, and perhaps even as cannon fodder during expeditions, in short, on the practical side.
Lin Li flipped through the introductions, and finally stopped after flipping through several copies in a row, and the introduction was a group of slaves of the Seahorse Clan.
It is said that the Seahorse Clan was once the royal family of the Sea Clan, and lived in the sea known as the Sea of Plenty, which is now the Nethersea Sea. At that time, the Seahorse Clan had a very strong strength, and even the current Seven Seas Overlords had to bow down to them at that time.
The most powerful force of the Seahorse Clan is the Seahorse Knight, although it is not known for its strength, but it is a perfect combination of magic and martial arts, or it can be called the magic knight of the sea. Thus, as opposed to the High Elves, the Seahorses were once also known as the perfect race of the sea. The combination of magic and martial arts gives them a strength that is even more powerful than the famous Shark Knight, and the battle formation formed is even more invincible in all directions of the Endless Sea.
The High Elves conquered the continent of Anriel and even the Endless Abyss, but failed to conquer the Endless Sea, in which the Seaponies are said to have played a crucial role. If it weren't for the mighty Seahorse Knights, perhaps the High Elves would have extended their tentacles into the Endless Sea. Bring many of the Sea Tribes under the same rule as the races on the continent.
However, no one knows what happened to the Seahorse Clan, which made this sea royal family who once ruled the Endless Sea lose all glory at once. In terms of the propaganda of the seven overlords later, the Seahorse clan angered the sea god, so they were deprived of everything by the sea god, but no one knows what the real reason is. And it is the decline of the Seahorse Clan. The seven overlords who lost their suppression rose together, and in order to compete for the wealth and dominance of the Seahorse Clan, a protracted sea war was launched.
In the Battle of the Evergreen Ocean, all the Sea Clans suffered a lot of losses, but the worst was the Seahorse Clan. Not only did they lose the Sea of Plenty, but they also had to face the oppression of various Sea Clans, and the other Sea Clans at least had some allies, but they became the public enemies of all Sea Clans. Even after the end of the Great War of the Seas, the Seahorses were not able to recuperate like the other Sea Tribes. Instead, they continue to live a life of displacement.
Without a sea area of their own, the Seahorse people can only scatter and wander around in the Endless Sea. And once the temporary place of residence is known, it will immediately attract the encirclement and suppression of various sea tribes. And this group of Seahorse slaves that Lin Li took a fancy to was probably unlucky enough to be found in a temporary residence before falling into the hands of this high-level secret merchant.
How exactly did the Seahorse Clan lose that powerful power, there is still no accurate statement, and Lin Li only knows that the Seahorse Clan rarely has a strong person who can break through the legendary realm. If they can't break through the legendary realm, they can't become real seahorse knights, so their value will be greatly reduced.
It stands to reason that such a group of seahorse slaves who have no future in development. It's really not much use for Lin Li. Whether it is Lin Li or the Tower of Dusk, there is no shortage of their strength, and I am afraid that they are not qualified to be cannon fodder. And if they are allowed to work as coolies, they cannot leave the marine environment for a long time. I'm afraid it's not as useful on land as an ordinary person.
However, thinking of the legendary and invincible Seahorse Knights, Lin Li couldn't help but be a little tempted. Others can't let the Seahorse people break through the legendary realm, it doesn't mean that Lin Li can't do it either. Although he doesn't know exactly how to do it now. But with so many resources in his hands, the Eternal Twin Trees, and Gresco's legacy, he may not be able to find a solution from them.
Lin Li took a closer look at the introduction again, there were more than sixty people in this group of Seahorse Clan, the old, weak, sick and disabled had already been eliminated, and the rest could be said to be young and middle-aged. As for the strength, it is definitely much worse than the legend, the highest is only level nineteen, and the lowest is only level fifteen. However, with such strength, even if you can't break through the legendary realm, it should be enough to be a sailor on the Star, at least not to buy a bunch of useless garbage to go back.
"Are these Seahorse slaves on the cargo ship out there?" Lin Li took out the information separately and asked the high-level secret merchant.
"Yes, esteemed guest, you are so discerning. The Seahorse people are quite well-developed among the many sea tribes, they are good at martial arts and can use magic, and it is perfect to use them as guards. The high-ranking secret merchant immediately enthusiastically introduced himself to Lin Li.
However, Lin Li sneered secretly when he heard it, in this era, the so-called Demon Martial Dual Cultivation is simply a pit. Equilibrium means ordinary, and if the Seahorse people can't break through the legendary realm, then they are not proficient in everything but sparse in everything. Whoever uses the Seahorse as a guard will probably not know how he died when the time comes.
Although the prices of the things here are clearly marked, it is not impossible to negotiate the price, Lin Li immediately expressed his opinion, and seized this point to push the price down by two percent.
The people of the Seahorse Tribe, whose appearance does not conform to human aesthetics, have a long face and a long neck, and a body that looks tall and thin like a bamboo pole, and is covered with dark blue skin with green spots. Therefore, their selling point is only strength. But everyone knows that it is impossible for the Seahorse people to break through the legendary realm, and the strength of more than a dozen levels is incredible for ordinary people, but it is nothing for those who can enter here.
In fact, the most important reason why this high-level secret merchant was able to bring the Seahorse people here to sell them was that the Seahorse people were not easy to catch now. I don't know if it's because after so many years, I've been captured and about to be wiped out, or if I've found some hidden shelter. In short, the scarcity of numbers is an important reason why this group of seahorse people are sold here.
So, after some bargaining, Lin Li bought the more than 60 Seahorse slaves at a price that was 20% lower. After buying these Seahorse slaves, Lin Li didn't bother to continue wasting time shopping, and directly asked to go out and hand over the slaves.
Soon, under the arrangement of the Secret Merchant Alliance, he came to a cargo ship outside the Mermaid. Then, more than sixty Seahorse slaves, both male and female, tied together with ropes, were driven out of the cargo ship's cabin by several masked men.
Lin Li swept it with his spiritual power, these Seahorse Clan slaves had a good physique, obviously because they were taken to the secret merchant market to sell, and the slave traders did not treat them too harshly. Of these Seahorse slaves, there are only three of them with the strongest strength, and they have all just entered the nineteenth level, the ordinary ones are all sixteen or seventeenth, and the worst one may be very young, only fifteen.
After inspecting the goods, the two sides completed the handover, and Lin Li took this group of slaves who had accepted their fate, changed into a ship provided by the Secret Merchants Alliance, and headed for Helena Harbor.
Since the Star was anchored in Helena Harbor, Lin Li directly arranged the people of the Seahorse Clan on the Star first. Although the strength of these slaves is not weaker than that of the sailors on the Star, he has a slave contract with the soul imprint of the slaves in his hands, and he does not have to worry about these slaves escaping. After letting the ship's sailors take the slaves to familiarize themselves with the Stellar, he took Conneris and Angelano directly back to the embassy in the capital of the Kingdom of Jindu.
