Chapter 361 Sea Tribe Hybrid
The blue-skinned humanoid creatures that appeared in front of Sean should be the sea creatures in the wizard world.
Sean saw organs similar to fish fins in their lower jaws.
However, the sea creatures in the wizard world are not all humanoid species like the ones in front of him.
The appearance of the sea creatures is strange and varied, and in terms of racial richness, they are much more complex than the humans in the wizard world.
Compared with the monsters or sub-humans on land, the sea creatures are actually the largest gene bank in the wizard world.
In the depths of the sea, there are some ancient or even super-ancient species of the wizard world.
In contrast, due to the over-exploitation of knights and magicians on the wizard continent, the oldest species here can only be traced back to ancient times, and many of them are just mixed blood.
Strictly speaking, these sea creatures in front of them, whose aesthetics and appearance are not much different from those of humans in the wizard world, should also be "mixed blood", and they have more or less some genes of humans in the wizard world.
Because according to records, the most human-like and most beautiful race in the wizard world should be the mermaids living in the depths of the sea.
But the blue-skinned sea creatures in front of him, Sean couldn't see their beauty at all, and they didn't have the iconic symbol of the mermaids - the fish tail.
Their lower body is a kind of fish-like feet.
Sean looked at the blue-skinned sea creatures with a scrutinizing look.
These sea creatures have good perception. After noticing Sean's sight, one of the female sea creatures smiled at him and bowed, which seemed to be some special etiquette of the sea creatures.
Sean strode to the front of these sea creatures and looked down. It turned out that what these sea creatures were selling was a kind of azure pearls.
These pearls placed in bamboo strips did not have any elemental power.
Instead, they were round and transparent, and there seemed to be a small hole in the center of the pearl.
When looking at these pearls, in addition to the human figure reflected on the surface of the pearls, there will also be a small human figure appearing in the hole in the center of the pearl.
Sean certainly knew that these pearls were not just ordinary decorations, because at this time, apart from him, the other people gathered in front of this stall were either magic apprentices or knight attendants, and there was basically no ordinary person.
The business of these sea tribe stalls was pretty good. Just when Sean was paying attention to them, another deal was made.
Sean noticed that the currency accepted by these sea tribes was also magic coins and energy crystals.
And the price of these pearls in front of him was indeed not expensive. One magic coin could buy 100.
If sold separately, one low-level energy crystal could buy one.
When Sean approached, the female sea tribe who had smiled at him took the initiative to greet him.
The life level of these sea tribes was less than one level, and they were extremely weak, but somehow, they seemed to recognize Sean who used the breath-holding technique.
The grade of the magic of Breathing is not low. It was found by Sean in his mentor's private library after he was promoted to the first level.
Under normal circumstances, even a first-level magician of the same level may not be able to see through Sean so quickly.
Therefore, Sean is more curious about these sea creatures.
"What are the specific functions of these pearls?" Sean pointed to the azure pearls in front of the stall and asked.
"Respected Master, these are oxygen-absorbing pearls cultivated by our blue mermaid tribe, which can help land creatures stay in the sea water for two hours." The female sea creature replied.
"Oh?" Sean looked at these pearls again with some interest.
Sean has seen many auxiliary props for survival in water in the Azure Source Holy Tower.
The outer periphery of the Azure Source Holy Tower is the Gem Sea, and there are also many aquatic creatures living in the Gem Sea.
However, the props that Sean has seen are all magic props, such as: Water-Free Barrier and Oxygen-Enriched Gem.
These azure pearls in front of him seem to be cultivated from shells.
And because there is no elemental power on the surface of the pearls, perhaps those shells are just ordinary seashells.
The vast seas of the wizard world are indeed home to too many rare treasures that land creatures can't imagine.
In terms of value alone, the richness of the oceans in the wizard world is probably as exaggerated as two or three large worlds.
Out of curiosity and research interest, Sean bought 100 pearls in one go.
This is a big order, and other magic apprentices wandering in front of this stall only buy one or two at best.
After flicking a magic coin to the sea creature in front of him, Sean didn't rush to count the pearls, but asked with interest: "Just now you said, you are a blue mermaid?"
There was a bit of teasing and playfulness in Sean's expression.
Obviously, it was meaningless to lie in front of a first-level magician like him. The female sea creature bit her lip slightly, bowed to him again, and then said, "I dare not deceive the master. We are indeed from the blue mermaid tribe, but we are half-mermaids in the tribe."
There is only one letter difference between blue mermaids and half-mermaids, but the meanings they represent are different.
The former is a pure marine creature and belongs to the real sea creature.
The latter is a hybrid of blue mermaids and humans, which is considered a kind of "sub-human".
Sub-humans are not easy to mix in the wizard world, and many of the hybrids like the "half-mermaids" in front of them are not naturally formed.
The wizard world is not as beautiful as it is advertised to the outside world. It is indeed a powerful world civilization, but there are still darkness and shadows in this world.
The black magician is just one of them, and these half-mermaid hybrids are also one of the representatives.
On the south coast of the wizard world, poaching of sea people has been repeatedly banned.
Many knights and magicians in the wizard world may be idle or driven by interests, and often pay attention to the sea people.
Magicians are mostly used for experimental research.
After all, even Sean, when he saw these sea people for the first time, wanted to dissect them.
This is a pure desire for exploration, without any blood and dark psychology.
The knights of the wizard world are not as civilized and exploratory as the magicians.
The original intention of many knights to plunder the sea people is just to satisfy their personal desires.
It may be that the strong body gives those knights above the first level of the wizard world a stronger desire.
It may also be that they have a relatively long lifespan, and many knights want to change their taste after getting tired of playing with normal opposite sex.
Not only are alien humanoids their targets, but sometimes even sea creatures are no exception.
For this situation, if both parties are truly in love, it is fine.
But the actual situation is that the emergence of many sub-human hybrids is often accompanied by a period of bitterness and tragedy.
Compared with knights and magicians who have established a powerful wizard civilization, sea creatures who rely on the sea for survival and mostly follow a passive evolution system are ultimately a vulnerable group.
