Chapter Eighty-Five: The Sea Beast's Lair
The sea tribe is a race that is very good at dealing with monsters, and the monsters in the sea actually have few visual abilities, most of them use their sense of hearing to judge objects in the water, whether they are creatures, whether they are the target of attack, how much energy the other party has, etc., are determined by this way.
The Sea Clan has established a silent realm through the magic circle, and it doesn't matter if there is a sound or not for the Sea Clan who has vision, but as soon as the monster comes in, it will become a headless fly. In such a situation, let alone fighting, it is considered lucky not to put yourself in the reef and trap yourself.
For a long time, the area of this circle has become a forbidden area for monsters, and it has also been used by the Sea Clan as a magic circle for monsters to expel monsters, and even sold to human coastal countries to defend against the invasion of monsters in the sea. For the Sea Clan, the monsters in the sea are not so much a trouble to deal with as a material gathering ground for the Sea Clan.
Monsters have a good point, that is, they have a lot of treasures on their bodies. Both the teeth and the scales on the body surpass the hardness of ordinary weapons, and can be used as a high-quality material for armor and weapons. The Sea Clan will call the annual monster cleanup activity the Monster Hunting Ground activity, so as to obtain a lot of high-quality materials, whether it is forging equipment by themselves or selling it to humans, it is a good business.
The Sea Clan also cooperates with the Dwarves, who are not significant in the forging of magic technology, but they are enough to be called the top of the world in the creation of metal materials. Many races use the metal materials forged by the dwarves to make weapons and armor, and the human beings themselves like to use the weapons and armor made by the dwarves and elves the most, although the professional does not need defensive equipment, but the weapons do.
Therefore, among the human kingdoms, the most popular is weapons and equipment. It's like Mowgli used dwarves to create high-quality weapons for training at the beginning, and only after reaching the intermediate class did he start using rare weapons. Among the human race, the volume of primary professions is the largest, and there are relatively few intermediate professions and advanced professions, so the sales of dwarven weapons are definitely higher than those of rare weapons.
The most profitable thing in the world is the goods that sell the most, which is a common truth in every world. The price of ordinary weapons is low and anyone can afford it, but the price of rare weapons is high and difficult to obtain, so the annual sales amount is probably less than a fraction of the profit of ordinary weapons.
Relying only on this foreign trade, the Sea Tribes can earn as much gold as the financial income of a kingdom, plus the income from other ships, tourism and other industries, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Sea Tribes are the richest race in the world.
The rich sea tribe itself has accumulated a lot of wealth, plus open-mindedness and advanced business thinking, how can such a race not be rich. So among these people, Lulu is the one with real wealth, much richer than Mowgli and Goliath combined.
In order to be worthy of Princess Lulu's daily consumption, the wine in the bar is a rare famous wine in the sea clan, not only is Garge expensive, but it is not circulated on the market at all, even if everyone is exploring the task, they have drunk a lot.
"I'm about to enter the sea of monsters. But don't worry, this dive ship is also equipped with a magic circle to eliminate sound, as long as it is not too special a monster, it will definitely not come close. Lulu said confidently.
"The Sea Clan is really meticulous enough. All aspects are very well thought out. Egret nodded, "However, we still need to be on duty in shifts to avoid special circumstances." ”
"Then Mowgli and I will be on duty for the first wave. Goliath replied very generously, "After that, every three hours of shifts, no problem, right?"
For advanced professionals, not resting for a few days in a row will not have any effect on the physical condition, unless it is a fighting state that consumes a lot. Therefore, no one will raise objections to the schedule of duty, but at least one combatant must be equipped on duty each time, and if Zhou Qian and Xi Lulin are put together, these two assistants will not be able to deal with any special circumstances.
Sailing on the bottom of the sea, time passes like this. From the beginning of the exclamation,It didn't take two days to get used to it.,The scenery at the bottom of the sea is the same.,After entering the monster area,,It's also very calm.,Although part of it is because of the power of the silent magic circle.,But there are also its own monster areas.,There are not many sea-type monsters.。
The monster hunting ground activity is carried out once a year, because the number of monsters itself is not large, otherwise if there is a number on the mainland, it will not be enough to clean up every day.
They stayed on the ship for three days, and on the morning of the fourth day, Lulu stood in the hall of the cabin early in the morning, and as soon as Mowgli and the others came in, she said, "The maelstrom is about to happen." ”
"Vortex?" Mowgli reacted, "You mean the Sea Beast Gra's lair is open?!"
"It's not open, it's going to be opened. Lulu sighed, human beings don't understand the ocean, just like the sea tribe doesn't understand the continent, these things don't start from the beginning, I'm afraid Mowgli won't understand it at all.
"Do you know why the Sea Beast Gera opens its lair twice a year?" Lulu asked, "The Sea Beast is a very special monster, or it wasn't one of the monsters in the first place. Thousands of years ago, sea beasts belonged to the companions who lived with our people, they had a docile temperament, and had strong attribute powers, and they liked to play and live with the sea tribe. It's just that when they live, they are separated from the sea tribe, and it is precisely because of this that when the monsters invaded, the area of the sea tribe and the area of the sea beast were separated. ”
"Sea beasts don't know how to distinguish between good and bad. They are very aggressive, even if the monsters invade, the sea beasts do not see each other as enemies. After a long time, the monsters will also communicate with the sea beasts, because the sea tribe is isolated, so the sea beasts gradually come into contact with the monsters, so the sea beasts themselves are creatures in the native seas, and they are transformed into monsters. Lulu's face was a little ugly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with this history. To be honest, the Sea Clan at that time had the strength to recapture the area of the Sea Beast, but unfortunately the Sea Clan at that time was still relatively conservative, they did not have the same sense of crisis as humans, and they adopted defensive means, which caused the Sea Beast to switch camps.
"Although it has become a monster, the sea beast still maintains its original habits. Twice a year, they open their nests to attract the Sea Clan to play with them, which is a welcome ritual, not for predation or traps, but simply for the company of someone. ”
"Sounds incredible. Mowgli's eyes widened, he only now knew the full picture of the sea beast.
"The real habitat of the sea beast is not in the vicinity, but in the real open sea. The sea beast Gra is just a sea beast left over from earlier. Sooner or later, we will reclaim the far sea area occupied by monsters, and once again let the sea shine under the glory of our race. ”
