189. Young people are still too young
Sean's eyes blazed on the small piece of crystal skull in Lenster's palm.
The crystal skull of a sea goblin.
Deep Sea Elves, a kind of goblins that live in the depths of the ocean, are not evil in nature, at most they like to play pranks, such as playing tricks on seafarers, making them lose their way for a short time, etc. The Deep Sea Demon Fairies, on the other hand, are variants of the Deep Sea Fairies, because they have a large amount of Abyssal Breath escaping near their place of residence, so they will undergo various changes in the case of long-term contact with the Abyssal Breath, including changes in body shape.
Deep Sea Goblins, usually less than five inches in height, have no wings behind their backs compared to other goblins, but they can be invisible in the water and swim extremely fast; The deep sea demon goblin, on the other hand, is between seven inches and one foot tall, with red eyes, dark brown skin, and strong corrosive blood in the body, and a very bad personality, not just like to play tricks on people, but also attack a creature that can move.
The crystal skull in Ranster's hand is crystal clear throughout, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find the wisps of black threads entwined on it. These black lines do not appear directly in the crystal skull, but are more like decorations or traces similar to weathering, which do not affect the beauty of this crystal skull.
If it weren't for the fragments of memories that Andrew had left in Sean's mind, he would never have recognized it as the crystal skull of the Deep Sea Elf.
At the beginning, Andrew gave Sean a list of materials when he met Sean for the last time.
Say it's a list. In fact, it was just a fragment of memory, a memory that Andrew transmitted directly to Sean's mind. There are a total of thirteen materials that Andrew needs, and these materials are not just names. It also includes graphics, detailed instructions, and teaches Sean how to distinguish between authenticity and fake.
That's why Sean was able to recognize the crystal skull of the deep sea goblin at a glance.
The thirteen materials that Andrew needed to go home were large and small, some by the pound and some by the piece, all of which were different. However, if you count the crystal skull of the deep sea goblin in Randster's hand, then even if Sean helped Andrew collect two materials, there are only eleven more left. Of course, these eleven things are obviously not easy to find. Many of the names are unheard of even by the well-informed Sean, and the list of materials given by Andrew does not have a description of the origin. So it's not easy to collect.
"Can you sell me this thing?" Sean looked away from the crystal skull with difficulty, then looked at Lenster, "You can make a price." I really need it. Of course. Bartering is also possible...... I'm not sure if I have what you need, though, but you might as well make a price first. ”
Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia, Rottikabas, and Harding shook their heads in unison.
Among the three, in addition to Rotikabas, Cecilia and Harding were all members of the royal family, and they naturally had some involvement in things like trading and negotiation, even if they were not particularly proficient and good at it, but it would not be much worse. As for Rotikabas, it has been hidden in the human world for so many years. I have already learned some relevant negotiation skills, and naturally I know how to maximize my own interests.
So they can't wait for Sean's current appearance. Naturally, it felt a little ridiculous.
But in fact, they also know very well that Sean is just a little anxious at this time, and if he calms down, then there will be no such almost inferior negotiation situation. After all, in the past negotiations between Sean and others, he has never suffered a loss, and it can even be said that he forced others to have no choice but to compromise with Sean.
"Is this thing worth a lot?" Lancet looked confused, "But if you like it, then I'll give it to you, I don't know what to do with this thing anyway." ”
Sean was overjoyed: "Can you really send me?" ”
Lancet nodded, "Of course, it's as if you were paid for saving me before." ”
As he spoke, Lancet shoved the crystal skull of the Deep Sea Goblin into Sean's hand. Sean, on the other hand, unceremoniously put this thing away directly, and saw the other people around him stunned. Especially Rottikabas and Harding, these two were still laughing at Sean's poor negotiation skills in their hearts just now, but they didn't expect it to be such a twist and turn, and Sean didn't have to pay anything to gain this thing.
At this time, Harding and Rottikabas, the two underground residents, were scolding madly in their hearts, is Lancet a fool? I don't know if something that can be looked at by Sean, an old god, must be priceless? In other words, if Sean told them this, they must have carefully weighed and estimated the value, and then performed a severe bloodletting on Sean.
It's just that......
Cecilia glanced at Sean, and then blushed slightly, ashamed that she had just thought Sean's negotiation skills were inferior. It's not the first time Cecilia has seen Sean negotiate, but she's never seen Sean suffer any losses, and almost every time he can get the most benefits, so it's obvious that the impatient look just now should also be based on Lenster's character and show it.
Thinking of this, Cecilia glanced at Harding and Rottikabas, and she suddenly felt some sympathy for the two inhabitants of the underworld.
After putting away the crystal skull of the deep sea goblin, Sean glanced at the treasures all over the ground, then raised his head to look at Lanster, and said with a heavy face: "What are you going to do with these things?" There's a lot of good stuff in there. ”
"Yes, is that so?" Lancet looked nervous, "Is it worth it?" ”
"It's okay." Sean groaned, "These things are certainly not worth much to me, but for those who have captured you, these things are enough for them to kill you." …… So, it varies from person to person. ”
Hear Sean's words. Cecilia had already turned around, and she couldn't bear to look any further. And Harding and Rottikabas, the two were completely stunned by Sean's acting skills. Of course, they could see Sean's desire for treasures all over the ground, at least when they saw these things, they could clearly feel Sean's breathing getting a little heavy, and if Sean wasn't interested in these things, both of them would be willing to cut off their heads and give Sean a chair to sit on.
"This ...... This...... What should I do? When Lancet heard Sean's words, he began to panic, "Me. I've never been on land, I'm ...... Sir Sean, what do you think I should do? ”
"It's simple. Wouldn't it be okay not to put these things on yourself? Just ask someone to keep it for you. Sean looked like he was taken for granted, and with a bit of a look at why you were so stupid, "And, as long as you don't expose your race." Most people will think of you as a human being. Naturally, you don't think too much about it, so overall, you're relatively safe. ”
Harding and Rottikabas both looked at each other, and they both wanted to laugh a little, they both got to this point, unless a fool didn't know Sean's thoughts. So the two of them began to look forward to what kind of reaction Lancet would make, and Harding thought that if Sean said this to himself, he would definitely be confused by Sean; And Rottikabas thought it was funny. Probably will play with Sean and then refuse.
Unfortunately, Lancet's approach was completely different from what Harding and Rhoticabas had in mind.
His face suddenly realized. Obviously, he had a great sense of agreement with Sean's words, but soon, he looked frustrated again, and said helplessly: "But...... But I don't have any friends in the surface world, I ...... I don't know who to store my stuff with, I ......."
Harding had only one thought at this point: this Lancet was a fool.
Rottikabas obviously understood what Harding meant, and he nodded seriously: Definitely a fool.
But seeing Sean take down all the good things so easily, Rottikabas and Harding also looked a little dissatisfied. After all, they and Sean are only collaborators, not subordination, let alone Sean's followers and other guests, so naturally there is no reason to watch Sean's family dominate, especially considering that in the future, maybe they will have to deal with Sean on behalf of the ethnic forces of the underworld, so the ideal thing for both sides is the balance of power.
Thinking of this, Rottikabas suddenly spoke: "I'd love to be your friend!" …… Well, you can give me these things for safekeeping, and make sure that no one can snatch them from me. ”
When Harding saw Rottikabas say this, he was naturally not to be outdone: "That's right, I'm happy to be your friend too." …… Don't forget, but I'll get you out first. Trust me as a lifesaver, yes! ”
"You're really good." Ranster's eyes moistened instantly, "In that case, then I'll put these things with you." ”
Hearing Lancet's words, Rottikabas and Harding's eyes showed excitement, but what made them wonder why Sean didn't open his mouth to refute it. The two of them looked at each other, and they could see the doubt in each other's eyes: Is Sean really not interested in these treasures?
"Huh." Soon, though, the two shivered in unison, as they finally heard Sean speak out.
Sean looked at Rottikabas and Harding with a nonchalant expression, his right hand raised, and his left hand gently rubbed the ring on the ring finger of his right hand. As soon as Harding and Rottikabas saw the ring, they realized what the problem was.
"You two want to help Lancet keep these things, how do you keep them? Do you just wear it with you? Sean chuckled, "It's not very dangerous, but it's better to let Lancet carry it in that fanny pack himself, at least no one will know it's a storage fanny pack if they don't open it." ”
Harding and Rottikabas were a little speechless, and they had missed this by all means.
"It's better to leave it with me." Sean continued, his voice still soft, but with a bit of smugness, "After all, I have a storage ring, so it's safer to put me here." And who would have thought that my mediocre ring was a storage ring, right? While saying this. Sean also gave Harding and Rottikabas a look: "Young man, after all, he is still too young." ”
This look made Rotikabas and Harding angry. But the fact is that Sean is right, even if they hold these things, they can't be tidy up, do they carry big bags and small bags to fight every day? That would destroy the treasures, which was even more intolerable to them, but the thought of how impossible it would be for Shaun to spit it out once it was in Sean's pocket, made Harding and Rottikabas feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Ranster. Well, I'll keep it for you. Sean said this without giving Lance a chance to speak. With a sweep of his hand, he swept all the treasures into his storage ring, "In the future, you can follow us to act." I'll give you all back when you're steady. Feel relieved. Guarantee that one is indispensable. ”
"Thank you! Thank you! Ranster shook Sean's hand excitedly, "Lord Sean, you are really good to me!" There are still good people on land! ”
"You're welcome, we're friends after all." Sean reached out and patted Ranster's shoulder, with a serious expression, "Don't worry, since we are friends, I will take care of you in the future." You just have to follow me. There is no need to worry about having no living space. …… As a mermaid, you should love water, right? Turn around and follow me back to the territory. I'll give you a castle with a big lake on it, and you can play in the water as much as you want. ”
"Ah, really?" Lancet's face was excited, "Lord Sean, you are really good to me! When I get back, I must refute our elders, and before I leave, he told me to be careful of those knowledgeable people on land, saying that they have black water in their bellies, and they must be careful. Lord Sean, you are not only very knowledgeable, but you are also so kind, and you are willing to take me in, it is really ...... Really...... I was so moved. ”
"Poof." Hearing Lancet's words, Rottikabas couldn't help it, but he couldn't do this kind of demolition.
Sean's smile was a little far-fetched and forced, but soon, he seemed to be completely unconcerned. The light handle was withdrawn from Lancet's clenched hands, and then turned his head to look at Cecilia, perhaps because he had harvested a large number of treasures, so Sean's mood seemed particularly good, and he even gently hugged Cecilia's waist, which made Cecilia instantly stiff.
"What's wrong?" Sean asked, a little confused.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing......" Cecilia swallowed, she suddenly felt a little dry, "I, it seems that I have found something. ”
"Oh?" Sean was immediately interested, and the others quickly got in on the action.
Cecilia took a deep breath and calmed down her inner peace before pointing to a certain line of the dragonskin magic book and said, "Watch here." ”
"Here?" Rottikabas frowned, "These are the symbols of the Magic Seal, right?" What does it mean? Speaking of which, he also turned his head to look at Lanster: "You copied this?" ”
"It's not." Lancet shook his head, "I've already said that this magic book is the Mermaid's Heart, which I inherited from my ancestors, and when I got it, it was already written on it. I've tried to erase them, but no matter how much I try to get them, I can't erase the things that have been recorded by my ancestors, maybe ...... This is the true meaning of the mermaid's heart. ”
As he spoke, Lenster fell into the memories and interpretations of his personal feelings, and Roticabas had a great headache when he heard it.
However, the others seem to have become accustomed to it, so they don't take Lancet seriously at all.
Cecilia said softly: "These are ancient magic texts, which are very different from the magic texts that have been simplified now, but I originally studied ancient magic texts in the magic academy of the Maggie Empire, and I have obtained the sixth-level professional qualification certificate, and if it weren't for some accidents, I would have obtained the eighth-level certificate now." ”
The Maggie Empire is very different from other empires, it is a highly civilized country where scholars gather. Therefore, in the Maggie Empire, there is a well-established system of imperial professional law: if you want to do any job, you must obtain a qualification in advance, and the work that can be performed varies according to the level of qualification, and of course, the salary is also different.
"What's that going on?"
"The place where we dealt with the Greatsword Knight before was a mermaid arena." Cecilia explained, "Due to the high development of civilization and their own problems, the Mermaid Empire does not like naked bloody battles, so they have a competition method of fighting with puppets. …… And the place we are in now used to be a place for mermaid royals and nobles to rest, called the Holy Fish Courtyard, which is made ......"
"By what?"
Cecilia's face suddenly turned a little ugly, "It was built by Hanas, and this is the eternal sanctuary he gave to the merfolk ......"
"Hanas......" Heatley and Sean's faces also turned ugly at the same time.
And Harding and Rottikabas, although not as ugly as Sean and Heatley, are obviously not much better.
Only the unknown Sheena and Lancet were still wondering: "Who is Hanas?" ”
"Before Ragnarok, Hanas's priesthood was to rule over death, desolation, and disease, and his kingdom was called the Underworld, and he called himself the King of Hades, an opposing god to the goddess of life." Sean said in a deep voice, "But after Ragnarok, Hanas is one of the main gods whose divine power is most severely damaged, and his three major gods, Geri, are only partially preserved by death and disease, and the desolation is shattered, and even the kingdom of God has been broken and destroyed several times, and he has lost the title of Hades...... Now he is known as the God of Death, that is, the God of Death. ”
"He is the one who is spurned by all the gods!" Heatley exclaimed with some excitement, "This is a despicable god who specializes in stealing the souls of the sons of other gods. ”
The soul is the common domain of all gods, so no god has a godhead dedicated to the soul.
If any god really dares to do this, then his kingdom will probably be attacked by all the gods. Even Hanas, who is as strong as one of the main gods, is only relegated to the priesthood of death, rather than directly intervening in the control of the soul.
"If it's really the sanctuary that this god has built for the merfolk, then we're in big trouble." Sean sighed helplessly, "The place built by Hanas, the soul will never disappear for no reason, and considering that this Holy Fish Courtyard was established before the Battle of Ragnarok, then...... We're afraid we'll soon be attacked by the undead. ”
Speaking of this, Sean showed a wry smile: "Cecilia, the feeling that something was awakened just now doesn't seem to be a delusion. …… Here, I'm afraid, it's already a paradise lost. (To be continued......)
