Chapter 204 041: Tidal Siren Tribe
Originally, Luo Xi thought that the castle would be completely submerged in the sea like the outside, but after entering the castle, he found that it was not the case at all.
There is a thin film outside the castle that separates the castle from the sea surface. The entire castle is contained in a large bubble. The world inside the bubble is completely dry.
"Um~"
Nicole fell to the ground, and her whole body shook and she almost fell to the ground.
Luo Xi hurriedly grabbed her: "Are you okay?"
Nicole stuck out her tongue: "I'm a little uncomfortable coming to the ground suddenly. I thought I was still submerged in water."
Luo Xi observed the bubbles around the castle: "I didn't expect that there was a barrier here."
The bubble that wraps the castle outside is actually a barrier, and its principle is the same as the bubble outside the wizard ship.
"Green, are you here?"
At this moment, a strange voice sounded, like the hoarseness of an old bellows pumping.
The sound came from the castle hall. A tidal siren came over there. It was roughly the same size as the tidal siren that led Luo Xi and the others all the way, but it was much bigger, about three meters tall.
In addition, it was different from the almost naked tidal siren. It was wearing a fur coat, a necklace made of shells and pearls around its neck, and a bracelet inlaid with gems on its wrists. It looked quite jeweled.
There were also a bunch of tidal sirens holding tridents around it, who looked like its personal guards.
Green greeted him warmly and gave the big tidal siren a big hug: "Are you here to greet me? Carls, I am so honored."
After a pause, Green waved to Rosie and asked him to come over, and introduced: "Cars, this is Rosie, the genius of the Elemental Castle I mentioned to you, he has an extraordinary talent in potion science."
"Rosie, this is Carls, the owner of this gem sea, the chief of the Blue Sea Tribe, and also our partner."
Rosie performed a wizard etiquette: "Nice to meet you."
The chief also looked very easy-going and nodded to Rosie in a friendly manner: "Welcome, welcome to Carls' castle. Next, I will need to trouble you, Wizard Rossi."
Green said: "Cars, tell Rosie about the potion."
Carls nodded, and then introduced in detail: "It's like this, what we need now is the land-based potion."
Then Carls introduced the general situation of the matter to Rosie.
Undersea creatures must live on the seabed and cannot live on land. Although the tidal siren can barely be considered an amphibious creature, it cannot leave the sea for too long.
Just like Karls is now in this waterless castle, other followers except him need to soak in the sea water for a while every two hours at most, otherwise they will die from weakness or even dehydration.
However, due to some special reasons, the Blue Sea Tribe needs to go to inland areas frequently to trade with local wizards to purchase some materials, so they need land-based potions.
This potion can make the creatures in the sea have some physiological characteristics of land creatures, and can make the creatures in the sea stay on land for a long time. Take the tidal siren as an example. A land-based potion can allow them to live on land for one to three days, making it convenient for them to trade on land.
Carls said: "But this potion is different from ordinary land-based potions. It needs to add some of our special needs. Can you do it?"
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows: "Special needs?"
Carls nodded and said: "We hope to change our form, so that we can transform into human form while having the ability to walk on land."
Luo Xi looked strange: "Human?"
What kind of request is this? Could it be that these tidal sirens have some kind of human worship?
Perhaps seeing Luo Xi's puzzled expression, Carls explained in detail: "It's like this. The materials we want to trade are very important to our tribe, and the wizards who trade with us also understand this. Therefore, every time they make a deal, they deliberately raise the price."
"Sometimes they even sell it to us several times or even dozens of times. One Silent Fruit sells for 100 magic stones." He said angrily.
Uh.
This is indeed a bit too much. Silent Fruit, a low-level material that costs only a few magic stones, is actually sold at such a high price. Luo Xi feels that this is a bit too much.
Green laughed and said, "Haha, everyone says we are profiteers. Look, there are profiteers everywhere."
Carls said, "Those wizards are sure that we can't go too far and can only trade along the coast. Moreover, it is a necessity for us. Every time we go ashore, we need to consume precious land-based potions and we don't have time to bargain with them."
That's right. It's not easy for the tidal siren to go ashore once. The wizards are also sure of this, so they just offer a random price.
Rosie said, "I understand. You want to disguise yourself as wizards to trade, right?"
Carls nodded, "We don't expect to get any advantage, but this at least allows us to have a reasonable and fair price. Fairness is the most important thing, don't you think?"
Rosie pondered for a moment, "It's not easy to involve transfiguration in land-based potions."
It is not too difficult to make a single land-based potion, and it is not too complicated to make a single transfiguration potion, but it is not easy to combine the two.
Carls frowned, and Green gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, Luo Xi can definitely do it."
Luo Xi rolled his eyes and gave him a contemptuous expression: If you can do it, you can do it.
After thinking for a moment, he continued: "I can't guarantee that I can do it, but I can try."
After a pause, he looked around and asked: "Is there a suitable place here? I will experiment now."
Carls hurriedly said: "Of course, please follow me."
Under Carls's guidance, Luo Xi passed through two corridors and soon walked into a room on the left at the end of the corridor.
This is a very spacious room, about a hundred square meters, with a long laboratory table in the middle and several metal shelves next to it. Crucibles, crystal lamps, test tubes, beakers and other utensils, all kinds of utensils are very abundant, just like a standard wizard laboratory.
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise: "This laboratory is quite well-equipped."
Carls nodded and explained: "This is what my master left behind."
