Chapter 1,388 Difficult Choice

During the next voyage, in order to learn more about the Kraken race and the secrets of the underwater world that it knew, Lin chose to take this sea beast with him instead of letting it go free. This made Tutulutu feel depressed, but he did not dare to resist.

One of the great benefits of this is that the fleet has not encountered any more attacks from sea beasts. Basically, as long as there is a Kraken, other sea beasts don't dare to get close. It’s too late to escape, why are you here to die?

A small bonus is that when someone wants to add more food, they can use the Kraken to drive away the fish, and then go into the sea to catch some of the sea delicacies themselves. It's too weak to "fish with one book" or use a dart gun to catch large fish species. None of this is as easy as going directly into the sea and teleporting your favorite catch to the deck using flash.

The same fish, although it cannot be said that the taste of fish caught in the sea is completely different from that of fish caught in the river, but they still have different flavors. The most important thing is: freshness!

In my hometown, no matter how fresh the catch is, if it comes from an ocean-going fishing boat, it still tastes like it has been frozen. It is a world away from the real taste of catching, killing and cooking. And such a fresh catch does not require any complicated cooking techniques. It is delicious when cooked in boiling water.

If you don't worry about parasites, it's delicious when eaten raw. If you are worried, add some shredded ginger and minced garlic. If you warm up a pot of wine at this time, you will be like a god.

As for those leftover ingredients and warm rice wine, what should I do if the fleet is not prepared? Of course, such a small problem will not trouble someone with the flash technique. Go directly back to your home in the holy city of Estari, collect your things, and then return to the ship. No time will be wasted. Logistics supply is not difficult for someone at all.

The two of them were so happy eating and drinking on this trip that William no longer even considered whether Kraken was delicious or not. But others were not able to calmly treat the presence of a ferocious sea beast that could destroy their entire fleet at any time like those two big-hearted people.

Maybe it was the good temper of a certain sea beast (?) that changed people's views, maybe it was the fish that were driven here, allowing everyone to have a good tooth ceremony, and the existence of Tutulutu was gradually accepted by people. . One of the side effects of Kraken's acceptance is that it makes some people with ulterior motives think more.

The people who originally tried to cause an accident during the voyage and capture or kill a certain magician changed their original plans. To offend a magician who can tame Kraken, the chance of death is about the same as committing suicide. Even with conspiracy, no one dares to take such a risk.

The new backup plan was actually the idea that everyone came up with after seeing that the tamed Kraken was very useful. If they could raise a blue-ringed Kraken, wouldn't it mean that the sea would allow their fleet to roam, and no one could stop it. As for defeating the enemy organization's fleet, that's even less important. If you think about it further, then charge a sea protection fee or something.

The idea is wonderful, but the reality is impossible. The group of people who opposed asked a question: how to bribe or control the magician?

buy? nonexistent.

No matter how much the Greco Chamber of Commerce boasts, its essence is still a small and medium-sized regional chamber of commerce formed with a family as the core and absorbing some talents. A certain magician is not only a chosen one of the goddess, but also a guest of the empress. In short, if this is not a great god, it is still a medium god, and the small temple of the Greco Chamber of Commerce cannot afford to worship it.

control? Who dares?

There is no serious "animal tamer" profession in Lost Land, although there is a group in the Karlsruhe Empire that calls itself this. But the so-called beast tamers in Midland do not rely on talent to get close to and tame beasts. The beast tamers in Lost Land always have only one trick: to conquer the monsters.

Because they are stronger than monsters, monsters obey the stronger ones. This principle is not only true between humans and beasts, but also between humans. After all, the term "animal tamer" comes from the barbarian tribe. The purpose of taming Warcraft by barbarians is to use it for fighting, not to capture it as a little girl's pet, so it is very necessary to retain its animal nature.

Under such a premise, a magician who can control Kraken means that he is stronger than the giant sea monster Kraken. How can such a person be controlled?

Poison? You can fight the blue-ringed Kraken in the water and still be alive in the end

What kind of poison can be used to poison such a person?

Threaten with relatives? Not to mention that this magician’s home is thousands of miles away in the holy city of Estali. The friends in the Karlsruhe Empire, apart from the white sword master who is a descendant of the family, are the elves who also serve the goddess of gold coins. If you hope to control the magician through these people, you might as well focus on the magician directly.

In short, considering the strength gap between the two sides, controlling the other party is an unsolvable problem.

What about the next best thing, asking the magician to give up control of the Kraken? Trading tamed monsters between tamers is nothing new. Even among a certain small group, a certain market has been formed.

This idea sounded good at first, but then a junior asked a question, leaving everyone speechless. So who can take over control of the Kraken?

Although tamed monsters can be traded, the prerequisite is that both parties to the transaction have the ability to tame the monsters. Because the master was too weak, the fact that he was bitten by a monster was not news in the empire. So even if the magician is willing to sell it, the Greco Chamber of Commerce will not be able to find people to take over it!

Looking for William Greco? Not to mention taking over the control of a Kraken, asking the white sword master to stay and assist in the family's affairs for the sake of the family's glory. Everyone who said this was "persuaded" by the sword master in turn, using his fists persuade. Anyway, no one mentioned it again, and of course it was impossible to expect him to stay and control a Kraken for the sake of the family.

In the end, Henry Greco, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the patriarch of the family, set the tone. He also put forward a reason that was difficult for anyone to refute. Although the dragon clan and Kraken are not feuding for generations, they still have a "good" friendship when they meet. If a Kraken is really raised, will the Dragon Island line still run?

One is the visible benefit of Dragon Island, and the other is the unforeseen benefit of exploring other open seas after controlling Kraken. It doesn't seem that difficult to decide which one everyone should choose.

Although the folk customs of the Karlsruhe Empire are extremely challenging and adventurous, they are not willing to invest their wealth in a place where they will not see a return. Not to mention that before you want to invest, there are still several difficult problems that are difficult to solve. So it’s natural to give up on a goal that seems good but is actually impossible.

The commander of the empire's naval fleet, when he saw someone who could tame Kraken, he was not without his thoughts.

But they also have similar problems with the Greco Chamber of Commerce.

Although the naval fleet had an empire at its back, no one could take over control of a Kraken. Because the military's focus is still on land, not at sea. Then of course those strong men cannot be sent to the sea, and they will only be responsible for escorting the tributes to Dragon Island.

As for bribing the magician, it's even more of a joke.

Maybe outsiders don't know, but as navy fleet officers within the system, how could they not know about the romantic affair between this magician and the empress. If no one really knew, someone would not have been attacked in the early morning at the Jade Palace. And as long as one person knows, it means that this matter will not be a secret among the nobles.

If the backer behind the naval fleet is also the Empress, perhaps we can use this relationship to win over the magician, and then find a way to control the Kraken. But unfortunately, although the empire's military is called neutral, it has its own backers, and the navy is no exception.

Although the naval fleet is weak, it has a large investment in Dragon Island, which is naturally the focus of all parties' efforts. However, for all the forces wrestling behind the scenes, the navy is too weak and cannot afford to be regarded as a traitor.

This makes them more cautious in their actions, and less active and obvious about actions like the magician extending an olive branch. After several hints to no avail, they gave up their thoughts.

There is no other way. Don’t think that if you are at sea, you will be cut off from the land. There is such a thing as a forum, which reports every day. Everyone in the empire knows exactly what happened to the fleet heading to Dragon Island. Not to mention that there are spies planted by various forces within the fleet. No matter what is done, no one can hide it.

Lin didn't know about other people's struggles, and certainly didn't care if they had any conspiracy.

count. Anyway, if he disagrees, he will teleport back to the land. No matter what other people think, they will not use him.

While satisfying your appetite, the biggest reward actually comes from the secrets of the seabed that Tuturu spits out.

The news that shocked Lin the most was that the Undersea Empire did exist and was composed of fish-men.

Murlocs are different from mermaids. Mermaids are half human and half fish. Their origins are unclear, but they are classified as monsters, not homo sapiens races with cultural heritage such as humans, elves, and dwarves.

Murlocs are fish that have evolved limb-like limbs, developed intelligence, and have their own moral values ​​and cultural heritage. According to what Lin learned from Tutulutu's crude description, the fish-men should be classified as the Homo sapiens race.

However, the fishmen cannot leave the underwater environment and breathe in the air environment, so the underwater empire has never communicated with the land countries. This is the same as sea animals. Even though they can leave the water for a short time, the only living environment they can adapt to is still in the water.

As for sea monsters, just think of them as monsters in the water. The concept of territory and the attitude of the jungle is actually very similar to that of Warcraft on land.

Although Lin wanted to know more details, it was remarkable that Tutulu Tu was able to convey this with the wisdom of the Kraken. Lin then gave up and continued questioning.

Finally, a few days before approaching Dragon Island, Lin freed the Kraken. Under the premise that the two clans are at odds with each other, I don't know how troublesome it will be to explain to Longdao that this Kraken is a pet that I have tamed.

Besides, he has an old dragon at home, so Lin has a rough idea of ​​the food expenses of these giant creatures. During these few days, Kraken was left with someone and had little opportunity to forage. This big guy doesn't know how long he has been hungry. If he continues to be tied up, he may starve to death.

Since he couldn't drag it to land anyway, Lin simply let the big octopus go.
