Chapter 362 Mermaid

However, compared to the ancient times, the treatment of the sea people in the current wizard world has been greatly improved.

All major holy towers and knight halls have explicitly prohibited the hunting of sea people.

And in the wizard alliance, in theory, the sea people and humans in the wizard world have equal status.

Because they are all part of the wizard world and have contributed to the prosperity of wizard civilization.

And in these holy towers on the southern coast of the wizard continent, many holy towers will invite nearby sea people to participate in the war in the different planes.

The strength of the sea people is not weak, but it is far inferior to the knights and magicians in the wizard world.

But if taken out alone, the power of the sea people is enough to be compared with any large world civilization.

In the vast sea area, no one knows how many sea people and powerful sea creatures are bred.

And the huge base of the sea people makes the sea creatures that are really persecuted by some knights and magicians a minority after all.

The reason why there are so many sea race hybrids on the southern coast of the wizard continent is that it is difficult for these sub-human hybrids to completely integrate into the sea race.

And because their appearance is closer to humans, these hybrids are also more convenient to deal with humans in the wizard world.

To a certain extent, these sub-human hybrids with both sea race and human blood also play the role of reconciling the conflicts between humans and sea races in the wizard world.

However, due to the poaching of sea races, which has begun since ancient times, many sub-human hybrids have continued to multiply to this day.

So this problem is a historical legacy and a troublesome matter that the wizard world's top leaders can't cut off and sort out.

Therefore, not many people pursue it too much.

But now, hunting sea races openly is no longer advisable.

Unless you want to be labeled as a black magician or black knight by the major holy towers and knight halls on the south coast.

However, the trade of sea races has not completely disappeared in this area.

The wizard world's top leaders and major holy towers and knight halls have indeed issued clear orders to stop poaching sea races, but what if the sea races are willing?

Many sea tribes are still in the primitive slave society.

These low-intelligence sea tribes often sell the remaining population in the tribe in exchange for other resources or living materials.

In addition, some sea tribes may really fall in love with human knights and magicians.

In Fernan Star City and many human cities on the south coast, you can often see some bards holding recorders telling some moving or extremely beautiful love stories in the tavern.

Some of these love stories really exist in the original version, but more of them are modified versions with added ingredients.

After all, humans and sea tribes belong to completely different races. The aesthetics, appearance, and organs of both sides are different. How can they fall in love easily?

The blue mermaids are the races among the billions of sea tribes that are more similar to humans in the wizard world.

But don't be confused by the half-mermaids in front of you. The real blue mermaids don't look like this.

Their faces are longer and have no hair. Their heads are covered with a kind of light blue thick scales, and the pupil color is also dark blue.

I really don't know how heavy the taste of some humans in the wizard world in ancient times was to attack these blue mermaids and thus breed a large number of half-mermaids.

The one that is truly similar to humans and is also known as the most beautiful species in the sea is undoubtedly the mermaid.

Mermaids are also the most sought-after sea slaves in the black market on the south coast of the wizard world.

Even half-mermaids with mermaid bloodlines have very exaggerated prices in major black markets.

A half-mermaid slave can be sold at a sky-high price of twenty or even thirty magic coins in the black market.

You should know that the half-mermaids here are ordinary half-mermaids with a life level below level one.

If it is a fine product with a life level of more than level one, the transaction price can soar to hundreds of magic coins, which is almost the total income of knights and magicians above level one who participate in a plane war.

It can be seen that the profit is huge.

However, mermaids are not so easy to hunt. Most of them live in the deepest part of the sea, and they are also the royal family born in the ocean of the wizard world, and they can command the creatures in the surrounding seas.

Mermaids are born with a strong affinity for water elements. They are the daughters of the sea. The best of them can easily cultivate to level one or above.

However, the number of mermaids has never been very large, and it is far from being comparable to the fertility of humans in the wizard world.

According to records, mermaids have a special ability, that is, after mating with them, if both parties are truly in love, the other party's physique can gain some affinity for water elements.

This ability is also called "the blessing of the sea".

But if it is the result of coercion and it causes the hatred of mermaids, then the perpetrator will be naturally hostile to the marine creatures in the surrounding seas after entering the waters of the wizard world.

This ability is also called "the curse of the sea". However, this racial talent is nothing to the magicians in the wizard world who are keen on exploring the truth and mysteries.

As early as in ancient times, or even earlier, the magicians in the wizard world had cracked the mystery.

It was just a simple blessing and curse of the mysterious system. Perhaps a senior magic apprentice who specialized in the mysterious system could remove the curse.

Therefore, this curse ability did not reduce the activities of some profit-seeking people who engaged in poaching fish.

Driven by profit, some people dare to hunt even dragons, so what can a mermaid from the sea, who is weaker than a dragon, count for?

On the contrary, this curse and blessing has added a layer of mystery to the mermaids in the wizard world.

The only thing that can be done is to make their value soar again.

Sean knows a lot about the sea people in the wizard world, not because the library of the Azure Source Holy Tower has such a detailed introduction, but by reading the magic notes left by his previous mentor Moses.

Black magicians such as Moses obviously arrived in the dark region through the south coast.

The border between humans and the sea people and the geographical nature make the south coast of the wizard world prosperous on the surface, but actually more chaotic inside, far less orderly than the inland areas such as the Azure Source Holy Tower.

At least in the Azure Source Holy Tower, Sean has never heard of any illegal black market.

But the magic notes left by mentor Moses recorded the existence of many black markets in the South Coast area.

These black markets should also be the ones that Moses visited in the past. I wonder if there are still some traces of black magicians.

There is no black market in the city of Fernan Star, but there seems to be a small black market not far to the south of this city.

Sean was a little curious about the attitude of the Holy Tower and Knight Hall in the nearby area towards these black markets.

The knights and magicians in the black market are not all black magicians or black knights.

In fact, the proportion of black magicians and black knights may be less than 2%.

Most of them are knights and magicians with normal identities on the surface.

They go to the black market not to do evil, but just to trade.

It must be said that there are more things sold in the black market, and they are cheaper.

And there are many things that cannot be bought on the ordinary market, such as mermaid slaves.
